Before Game 5 with the Pistons began, the Bulls had a simple V award ceremony at home.Wang Jun received the trophy from David Stern and delivered a speech."
First of all, thank you to my team-mates and coaches, I couldn't have done without their help.I love the sport and try to win every game.I wish I was better every day than I was yesterday, and I guess that's one of the reasons for winning the award.I know everyone's cameras are on me, and I hope I'll say a few more words, the cameras and cameras are still full, but let's start the race as soon as possible.I want to wait until I've eliminated my opponent before I make a tirade. ”The Pistons were sentenced to death without the game being played, Wang Jun was very arrogant, and he had the confidence.Billups is sure that he won't play, and if the Bulls lose at home, he will go straight back to the V trophy.At the beginning, the Bulls had the upper hand, or joint defense, strictly guarding against breakthroughs, and putting mid-range and long-distance shots.The box was blocked, the Pistons guard couldn't break through, and the stout interior Mark Hill couldn't play anymore.Starkey couldn't shoot threes at all, averaged less than one shot per game, and shot a low percentage.Hamilton, as the leading scorer, was constantly running to catch the ball and score, but he couldn't drive the team's rhythm.Rashid, as the team's strongest three-point point at present, has made many misplaced shots on the perimeter, has a poor shooting rate under interference, and continues to hit iron.Heading into the playoffs, Rashid shot just 424 from the field, 32 from three-point range, and 744 from the free-throw line, with just 23 attempts.His 132 points, 64 rebounds and 16 assists are really not a star.In the summer, he's certainly the target of the Pistons' eagerness to send it away.The Pistons' defense was breached, and Hill singled out Hamilton, who had the advantage of height and physique, and scored 17 points, which was his first playoff performance.Hamilton scored 31 points and was the only person to have a good performance for the Pistons.Prince and Wang Jun were defeated in the opposite position.Starkey and Hunter also failed to outperform Calderón and Dujon.With four minutes left in the final quarter, the Bulls led by 23 points and sealed the win early.The bench players held the advantage until the end, 98-74, and the Bulls eliminated the Pistons for the third year in a row.Qualified for the Eastern Conference Finals first.I also got a lot of rest time, and my physical fitness was superior.Wang Jun didn't say much at the press conference, and the next round of the series is the beginning of the challenge.The good news is not only that, Barnes and Chandler are recovering well and will be in the team's training sessions to find their form.If the two of them can play, the Bulls' defense will improve a lot.In another series in the East, the Celtics beat the Cavaliers at home.Match point 3-2.The Cavaliers returned home and stubbornly pulled back a game.James finished with 32 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.McBiby hit four three-pointers to score 14 points and keep the Cavaliers' hopes of advancement alive.None of the others scored in double figures, and the Cavaliers shot just 328 from the field.The all-out defense of both teams made the game very ugly.The Celtics are even worse, having yet to get an away win in this year's playoffs.Garnett had 25 points and eight rebounds, Pierce scored 16 points on 5-of-15 shooting and Ray Allen had nine points.At this time, the two teams were already on David Stern's blacklist.If the finals are played like this, it is no wonder that the ratings can be high.The Western Lakers eliminated the Jazz 4-2.Bryant had 34 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, leading the team to six double-doubles.The Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Finals, fulfilling the old saying "A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late".The Lakers lost to the Jazz in the playoffs in 1998, and 10 years later they awaited the winner of the Hornets and Spurs.The media praised Kobe Bryant, and he played very well after entering the playoffs, averaging 338 points, 58 rebounds, 6 assists and 17 steals per game, shooting 513 from the field and 365 from three-point range, dominating the court.After Gasol's arrival, the Lakers were able to play better, and like Odom, he was able to handle passes, be selfless and shoot from mid-range.Fischer, Radmanovic, Vujasic, and Famar all shot more than 40% from three-point range in the playoffs, providing the team with three-point firepower.As soon as his teammates pulled away, Kobe Bryant was furious.Not only can he attack with the ball, but he can also run without the ball to catch the ball and shoot, or immediately start to break through to the inside line after receiving the ball, it is difficult for the opponent to wrap him without the ball, and Kobe Bryant will also share the ball.At this time, people realized that Kobe Bryant was not a person with a unique style of play, but the Lakers had a poor lineup before, lacking the inside axis of the triangle offense and the outside shooting point, and the ball could not work, so he had no better choice except to go it alone.Gasol is the perfect inside axis, one of the most demonic big men in passing, and when Kobe Bryant has a bad hand, the ball can be passed to him to attack, which can also ensure efficiency and break the bag.With a good helper, Kobe Bryant exploded, and his personal playoff offensive efficiency reached its peak.The Lakers are also the favorites to win the championship, even if Bynum is out for the season.Gasol and Odom can support the inside line, steadily contribute two double-double data, and the shooting rate has reached more than 50%.Some experts believe that the Lakers will form a three-legged trend with the Bulls and Celtics in recent years, and the depth of the roster will even exceed those two teams.Wang Jun entered the playoffs, averaging 306 points, 81 rebounds, 42 assists and 13 steals per game, except for rebounding data and three-point shooting percentage that surpassed Kobe, several other items were under Kobe.The Cavaliers and Celtics were divided in seven games.Pierce had 41 points and 6 rebounds, James had 45 points and 6 assists, and the two stars scored all over the court, but James finally failed to withstand the Big Three and lost 91-99.The Celtics stumbled and met the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, Ray Allen's performance was still very poor, and after entering the playoffs, the Big Three seemed to have become the Big Two.The Bulls were swept in the regular season, and those who were originally optimistic about the Celtics accounted for the majority.After two rounds, more people began to look forward to the Bulls reaching the finals, and the Celtics had problems on offense, and they have not won on the road.The Celtics have home-court advantage and a pacing that restrained the Bulls and was able to limit their opponents' fast breaks.Skyles studied for a while, and there was no good way to break through the Green Army's defense, so he could only rely on Wang Jun's personal ability to fight.A war between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.The Spurs advanced in the end, knocking out the Hornets 4-3.In the tiebreaker, Ginobili hit four three-pointers and scored 26 points, five rebounds and five assists, Duncan had 16 points and 14 rebounds, and Tony Parker had 17 points and five assists.The Spurs shot 12-of-28 from three-point range.With outside firepower, the Spurs broke the Hornets' devil's home court.Paul finished with 18 points, eight rebounds and 14 assists on 8-of-18 shooting, and he did his best on both ends of the floor, and was fouled for six in the final minute.With 18 points, Pargo is a playoff wonder for the Hornets and will definitely get a good contract in the summer.West scored 20 points and Stojakovic scored 13 and did not play badly.The Spurs' experience has clearly played a role, with the young Hornets a little overwhelmed, the head coach more responsive than the on-the-spot, and the Hornets are also at the bottom.Ben Wallace played 37 minutes and was stupidly cut by the Spurs' "shark hacking tactic", shooting 4 of 12 free throws with a touching percentage.Scott's stubbornness is evident, and he doesn't finish using whoever he can identify, even if Wallace's offense is terrible, he continues to play in order to ensure defense, and barely adjusts throughout the season.In the second half, because of Big Ben, the Hornets could only play positional battles, and he couldn't defend Duncan alone, and was finally slowly worn to death by the Spurs.s:
