In the final quarter, the Bulls sent two guards, Watson and Calderon, and Wang Jun made a cameo appearance as a small forward to continue playing.He has no problem with his physical strength, surpassing Iverson in the regular season this season, ranking first in minutes played per game.Some people think that Iverson has a lot of playing time and is not efficient, which is a black spot, but what Wang Jun admires most is Iverson's physical strength.As a short defender, he played the most minutes in six seasons and averaged more than 41 minutes per game in his career, which is a ruffian spirit, no matter whether it is a god or a man on the other side, he will go forward to fight, even if he is bruised.Wang Jun also plays hard and is not afraid of injury.Because there are props in the system warehouse that can heal injuries, he is very confident.Luckily, he wasn't seriously injured, and the props were useless.The Bulls players suddenly pressed the frontcourt, catching the Celtics off guard.The Green replaced Rondo, possessed the ball from Cassel on the periphery, and played a two-guard with House.The veteran is experienced, but his pace is already slow, and House's ball control skills are not very good, and he is not good at dribbling through the half, so he has to help his teammates cover it.In the third round, Cassel made a mistake in passing and was stealed by Hill, and the ball assisted Calderon to score a layup.Pierce missed, Wang Jun countered and misplaced Boxer, attracting Posey to share the ball to the perimeter, and Calderon hit another open three-pointer.After this goal, the Bulls' lead reached 18 points, and Rivers hurriedly called a timeout.TNT Radio's Kenny Smith exclaimed: "The Bulls made a three-point shot, Calderon defended mediocrely, played an obvious role on the offensive end, and performed well in the guest No. 2 position, if Rondo was so accurate, the Celtics would not have fallen so badly." ”Barkley smiled: "Calderon doesn't have a big problem defending Posey, Posey is not responsible for attacking with the ball, Wang Jun does a better job of defending Pierce, he often plays against the opponent's core this season, and he has the strength to defend for a while." ”TV5 commentators were also discussing the defensive lineup, and Wang Jun's selection also set a record, making him the first Chinese player to receive the accolade.It was too late for Rivers to realize the importance of perimeter defense.Posey can shoot three points, and the offensive end can open up space, and the single defense Wang Jun is not so effective.His characteristic is to interfere with shooting, anti-Kobe Bryant likes to shoot with the ball, dry pulling, and leaning back, Wang Jun has made more breakthroughs this season, and he can shake out a little space to rush inside by relying on people.Although Tony Allen is short, he is stronger than Posey, very strong, and has a good defense against all types of outside lines.Now too far behind, Rivers still can't replace Tony Allen, the team needs to chase points, if the outside defense blue collar, it is difficult to break through the opponent's defense.Rivers replaced Perkins and arranged a small-ball tactic, with the Big Three Gaposi and House.Rondo continued to sit on the bench, and he couldn't play when he needed to chase points, and there was no one on the court who could be let go casually, and this lineup was the most attacking.Pierce drew the ball and Posey hit a three-pointer from the right to close the gap.After Wang Jun's shot missed, Skyles shouted on the sidelines: "Man to man" The players immediately changed formations and gave up the joint defense.Calderon defended House, Barnes and Ray Allen, Wang Jun defended Pierce, Lewis defended Posey, Chandler defended Garnett, and the formation no longer shrank.Pierce once again asked for the ball to single-handedly take on Wang Jun, who was the core of the outside line, and the heads-up attracted the pack, making it easier for teammates to get opportunities.When the opponent's one-on-one defense Pierce reduces its effectiveness, the Green Army's offense is prone to getting bogged down.In this playoffs, regardless of Joe Johnson, James or Wang Jun, Pierce is mainly single-defense.The opponent that Pierce wants to beat the most is Wang Jun's commentator, and fans can see that Wang Jun has a lot of skills that are very similar to him, how can he not see that the person who copied his skills took three Vs and returned to the All-Star starter, but he did not start the Star Game.When Garnett arrived at the Celtics, he didn't say that he hugged his thighs, but many people said that Garnett was the core and he was the younger brother.Pierce was also under a lot of pressure.In the team, he has a very good relationship with Garnett, but psychologically, he wants to prove that he is the boss of the Green Army, the king of the place, he receives the ball and turns to face the frame, probes with his right foot, takes a step to the right, takes a small step with his left foot, pulls the ball and strides towards the middle and turns.Usually he can pass well, Chandler is pulled out of the basket by Garnett, and the pass is an easy score.Wang Jun followed and turned around, and his judgment was very accurate, and he stuck in the position and didn't let Pierce turn around.Pierce immediately turned into a step-back jumper, Wang Jun also jumped up to block, the two jumped almost at the same time, and Wang Jun covered the ball with his right hand.Wang Jun picked up the basketball, lowered his center of gravity to accelerate past Pierce, went to the front court to attract Garnett's defense, and passed to Chandler.Chandler took three steps from the ball and scored with one hand.ESN's McBrin shouted: "Wonderful defense plus assists, Wang Junjin's best defense is really not bragging, his defense is getting better and better." ”When he returned to the defense, Chandler clenched his fists and tensed his muscles and yelled, which was a very morale-boosting dunk.Pierce was not convinced, and asked for the ball for the dignity of the star and then singled out Wang Jun, he took a step and brought the right side to 45 degrees to the bottom line, and turned around, and his body was straight and pretended to shoot.Wang Jun kept up with the card position, lowered his center of gravity and did not let him pass.Wang Jun knew Pierce too well, not only did he know what he would do, but he could even predict how hard he would use that step.Watching Pierce break through is like seeing yourself in a mirror, with the system's prompts echoing in your ears.In this case, it is almost impossible for Pierce to defeat Wang Jun alone, as if he is challenging his own shadow, or a strengthened version.Pierce leaned on him to get to the basket and missed the shot under the interference, and Chandler got the rebound.After another attack, Wang Jun really did it out of the blue, his strength was not inferior, and his speed was faster.Rivers called a timeout and let Pierce make a three-pointer on the perimeter to attract the defense, and Rondo returned to the court, where the Celtics played a quick counterattack with a shot.This is not the regular way of play for the Green Army, and the Bulls' defense makes them feel helpless and can only attack quickly.Ray Allen and House began to grab shots, and the Celtics scored several times, but they couldn't prevent the Bulls from attacking and couldn't narrow the difference.With 2 minutes and 12 seconds left in the game, Wang Jun walked past Ray Allen, attracted the bag in the penalty area and separated the perimeter, Lewis received the ball in the right bottom corner to attract the defense and passed 60 degrees, Calderon shot an open three-pointer.The Bulls led by 17 points at 95-78, and the Celtics were powerless to come back, replacing all the main players and surrendering their guns early.Many fans left the stadium disappointed, and the scene they hoped to see the Green Army beat the Bulls did not appear.The Celtics scored in double figures, and Ray Allen scored 20 points and found an offensive touch; Pierce scored 13 points on 5-of-17 shooting, 0-of-3 three-pointers and 3-of-4 free throws.
Garnett had the best performance, with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists; Rondo played 31 minutes and finished with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.The Bulls also had four double-doubles, Wang Jun had 35 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, a game-high high; Calderon had 19 points and six assists; Lewis 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists; Chandler also had 12 points and 14 rebounds.The two sides came off the bench to the end, and the score was 99-82, and the Bulls got off to a good start to the series.s:
