Chapter 757 The first time
"Boss, I think you're going to kneel down." Ji Guomeng was waiting in Los Angeles to see how the giant pandas were brought. The attack before Roll Deng made a three-pointer was broadcast on the live TV. The Dead Fox hurriedly said to Taylor Swift: "If the Bulls scored a three-pointer, I want you to bring the anal plugged fox's tail."
Taylor Swift snorted when he heard this, glanced at a fox tail that Ji Guomomori got from somewhere, and wanted to stuff that thing into the dead fox's ankle.
"Okay, but if the next goal doesn't score, or you don't score a three-pointer, you have to bring it with you." Taylor Swift felt that she had taken advantage of it, and her chances of winning were 66.6%, while Ji Guomeng was only 33.3%.
"Okay, one word is certain!" Ji Guomeng smiled shamelessly.
Three seconds later, a burst of extremely proud laughter came from a villa in Beverly Hills.
"I have never seen such a shameless person!" Ji Guochou was angry. He would not just take him so easily.
The Zen master made adjustments during the break. He asked Ji Guoqiu to stay away from the basket and to the high position and wings. This would slightly affect his offensive efficiency and the Nets' lethality under the basket would also be reduced. However, Ji Guoqiu's subsequent choices have become more. He can catch the ball and shoot the mid-range, go to the low post and pass the ball to the pitcher in the Niujiao area, and cooperate with high and low posts to send an all-in-one contact for Valaijo...
Phil Jackson hopes to use this change to catch the Bulls off guard. The Nets are already at the right time to win by surprise. The chances of losing head-on are much greater than winning.
At the beginning of the second half, the Nets' adjustments were indeed miraculous. Ji Guochou first assisted Korver to make a three-pointer at the free throw line, and then sent Vallejo an unguarded layup.
The Bulls player didn't know how to deal with the Panda brother who ran outside for a while, and was quickly hit a 7:0 attack wave by the Nets.
Thibodeau quickly requested a timeout and ordered the team to use the tactic of one person following the defense when Ji Guochou pulled to the outside line, and the others assisting the defense nearby. It is necessary to attack and defend against the enemy while keeping the formation uneven.
Ji Guoqiu then strengthened his personal offense. After he came to the outside, the defensive pressure became smaller and his vision became wider, but the corresponding shooting rate also declined. However, the flaws did not conceal the merits. Ji Guoqiu's efficiency increased a lot compared to the first half, and the Nets' offense became smoother.
The Bulls reacted very quickly. Seeing that the defensive end was a little stretched, Thibodeau ordered the team to strengthen its offensive end and find ways to get back the lost points.
Ross became the Bulls' offensive arrow in the third quarter. Kobe chose to take the opportunity to take a break and prepare to take over the offensive mission in the last quarter.
Nash was embarrassed by Ross' breakthrough and could not open the attack. He could only pass the ball for his teammates after the breakthrough. However, under the Bulls' fast rotation, he did not create too many open shooting opportunities.
The Nets finally had to rely on Ji Guoqiu to compete with Ross. The rhythm of the game unknowingly returned to the previous game, and Ji Guoqiu took turns to fight Kobe and Ross one-on-one.
After the third quarter, Ji Guoqiu had no rest for another minute, scoring 36 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals in the third quarter. He led the Nets forward with his own strength.
The score was 78:86, and the difference between the two teams narrowed by 1 point in this quarter.
Nets fans began to scold Nash and others for doing so. Ji Guoqiu only recovered one point in the quarter, and there was no other reason except that his teammates were not strong enough.
I'm quite unfair. He didn't rest in this quarter. Although his breakthrough did not cause the same damage as Ross, the Canadian broke through all quarters regardless of physical strength and gave three assists to his teammates. Nash played for a total of 30 minutes in the first three quarters, scoring 15 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists. Such performance really can't be asked for anything for a 37-year-old veteran.
The Bulls are not just relying on Kobe and Ross. Looking at their data, Kobe has 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Ross has 18 points, 5 assists, Rollden has 15 points, and Boozer has 15 points. The four Bulls stars all performed at their normal level, but the Nets must require Ji Guoqiu and Nash to perform exceptionally, and then there must be role players standing up and breaking out. Such winning conditions are too high.
In the fourth quarter, the Zen master must give Ji Guochou a rest. In this round of series, he either played the whole game or only had two or three minutes of rest. If he did this, it would be fine. If he always played like this, no matter how good the physical fitness was, he would easily have problems.
If the Nets don't play the giant pandas, the Bulls won't play the Panthers, but if the Nets don't play Nash, the Bulls won't play Rose.
The Bulls sent out three major players, Ross, Rollden and Boozer, and the returnee of Asik, who stopped bleeding, should not be underestimated.
Ross has always felt that the Bulls would not be much worse than now even without Kobe. He was very unhappy with an old guy coming to grab his core, but he, a local snake, can't hold back the Raptors crossing the river for the time being, so whenever he has the chance to perform, he has to do his best so that everyone can see that he is just like the Lakers' Ok combination, one is a rising superstar and the other is a superstar who has already fallen. How should the team choose? Do you still have to consider it?
"Kobe to die!" Ross would say something in his heart every time he made a shot. The effect was very obvious. After the start of the fourth quarter, the second in charge of the Bulls threw three goals in one breath, which narrowed the gap to 12 points in a blink of an eye.
Bledsoe is completely afraid to say that he can compete with Ross. Maybe after a few seasons, he really has the ability to face Ross head-on, but he is far from qualified now. Whether it is experience or skill, he is at least one level worse than Ross. Especially when Ji Guoqiu was not available to help him in this round of series, everyone discovered that the reason why Xiao Xuebu performed amazingly in the first two rounds was actually mostly due to Ji Guoqiu's glory. His outstanding performance was based on the team's downwind environment. Once the team played against the wind, his role was much worse than that of Korver, Tony Allen and others.
Seeing that the Nets were about to be fooled, the Zen master had to replace Ji Guoqiu in advance, and the fourth quarter only started two minutes.
After Ji Guoqiu came on the court, he finally felt a burst of fatigue. If the team was not at a disadvantage now, he might not be so tired, but every time he tried his best to get the two points, the Bulls were easily taken back by the Bulls in a blink of an eye. This feeling really exhausted him.
The Nets' shooting percentage began to decline in the fourth quarter. After half of the final quarter, they only made 3 goals, and the Bulls expanded their advantage with 99:85.
Ji Guochou began to miss several key shots in the final quarter, and the team's morale continued to decline. The Zen master called a timeout but it didn't work. The Nets missed the opportunity to approach the score several times.
In the fourth quarter, after the Nets missed three-pointers in a row, there were also loopholes in defense. Kobe slipped to the basket. He took Noah's pass and easily dunked. The Bulls led by 21 points with 106:85.
Nash then made a three-pointer but failed to hit. The Nets adopted a foul tactic in advance, but the five players who looked around the Bulls did not have too bad free throws. The Nets could only choose the most unreliable Boozer to attack.
The anti-bone said that although his serving posture was unbearable, his shooting percentage was at least much better than O'Neal and others. He made two free throws steadily, and the Bulls led the lead. At this time, it was only 3 minutes and 48 seconds before the end of the game.
Is there any suspense? No more suspense!
With Boozer's two free throws, although Ji Guoqiu scored two three-pointers in the last three minutes, it was also the result of the Bulls' sure the Nets couldn't make the best and their defensive intensity decreased.
In the end, the Bulls defeated the New Jersey Nets 110:96 at home and advanced to the finals.
Ji Guochou played 45 minutes today, scoring 45 points, 20 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals, creating the best division final data in the history of the Nets. Unfortunately, they failed to create miracles and finally had to accept the fate of being eliminated away games. The Nets' season was over.
After the competition, Ke was excited to find Ji Guochou. The two hugged each other. Pan also comforted the giant panda several times, which showed Kobe's mood to return to the finals after 8 years.
It's not easy for Pan. After O'Neal left, he never made it to the finals, so he was ridiculed and ridiculed by the Sharks all day long.
The fat man won the championship again the second year after leaving the Lakers.
O'Neal would take this out and repeat it every time he drank too much, and then shouted that Kobe was licking his butt.
Ji Guoqiu and Kobe exchanged jerseys with each other and soon followed the team away from the stadium.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has suffered a defeat in the playoffs and has been eliminated for the first time. This feeling is really bad!
"Forget it, who can win three championships as soon as you enter the league?" Ji Guomeng comforted the giant panda at this time, and stared at the little singer's buttocks with an evil look on his face.
"Now I'm going back to fish, I hope we won't be wiped out." Ji Guoqiu hopes that the Clippers will eliminate the Mavericks and the Dead Fox will win the championship, which is better than letting others win it. However, the Clippers' current situation is not much better than the Nets three hours ago.
Nets players left, but Bulls players couldn't leave. While they advanced to the finals, they also won the Eastern Conference championship trophy. The award ceremony was held after the game. The league brought the trophy to Chicago in advance. It was not that they looked down on the Nets, it was just a normal procedure.
Bulls legend Scottie Pippen became the guest of the awards. Before the awards, Pippen said: "I speak on behalf of the Bulls and everyone behind me. We still have a lot to do, and we have to continue working hard. First of all, thank the Nets for playing such a wonderful round and series of games with us. The young people behind me won the Eastern Conference championship after various tests. You deserve this trophy."
Bulls coach Thibodeau seemed very calm. He said: "After so many hard games, we have formed a tenacious personality. I want to thank these players behind me."
