Chapter 747 The contest between outside and inside

The East took the lead in the division finals. The Nets have been waiting for the idiots in the West for more than a week, and the Bulls are almost the same. The minor injuries and illnesses accumulated by the main players of the two teams in the first two rounds have recovered almost after nearly ten days of rest and have returned to full health.

The New York Times reported specifically before the game: The Nets easily defeated their opponents in two rounds of the series. Tomorrow's game against the Bulls is their first game in nine days. Such a long rest time is a double-edged sword. They did get enough rest time, but this may also affect their game state. What kind of performance will be tomorrow, and the answer needs to be given after the opening.

For the Nets, a good start is very important. Brother Panda wants to lead the Nets to a good start in the series. He will definitely do his best to bring greater help to the team tomorrow. If other players of the Nets are in a slow state tomorrow, then the giant Pandas must take on more responsibilities after the opening. He needs to use his personal performance to drive the whole team's performance.

On May 14, at the pre-match press conference, both team players expressed sufficient confidence in defeating each other.

Ji Guochou said: "The Bulls are very strong, but we don't have pressure because usually, the side without a home advantage is more stressed. We performed better in the regular season and had a home advantage. The Eastern Conference Finals will be a very interesting confrontation. Let's see what will happen."

Bledsoe was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. The praise from the outside world also made the rookie a little inflated. He said that he was not afraid of playing against Ross at all, and he was looking forward to playing against the other side. "Yes, I may play for about twenty minutes and there should be a chance to play against him, but I don't think I will lose to him, and I don't feel nervous. Everyone can't be nervous at all, as if we have won."

Nets main point guard Steve Nash is not as confident as his own substitute. He is similar to Ross in height, but weighs 30 pounds lighter. Therefore, relying entirely on him to limit Ross is probably an unlikely task. Nash himself admitted: "He needs us to defend together. Ross is obviously the fastest player in the league at present. He has Allen Iverson-style speed, and he also has Chauncey Billups-style strength. Such a combination is undoubtedly a killer, so you can only consider trying to force him to the outside to shoot."

From the current perspective, the Nets may consider using the "wheel battle" method to defend Ross. In the game, they may see many Nets players taking turns to defend Ross, among which the defensive player Tony Allen may be the main defensive target, and Bledsoe's speed and strength are not inferior. The Nets hope to rely on the strength of the team to complete this difficult task.

The Zen master said unexpectedly in response to the reporter's question: "The Bulls played very well in the previous two rounds of the playoffs. We need to be careful. This Bulls is already a completely different team because they have new great defenders."

Phil Jackson's words gave Kobe a lot of face. In fact, he was afraid that the Bulls' main attack on Ross today, and Nash could not withstand this opponent who changed direction and did not slow down. So it is very simple to consider that once Kobe attacks more, it means that Ross attacks less. At this moment, only Kobe is the best candidate.

But worried that the fire would not be enough, the Zen master added: "Bryant has a chance to reach the same height as Jordan. Because he is still getting better and better, his shooting percentage is still increasing. When he can shoot the ball from the outside, no one can defend him."

There are so many Thibodeau of the Bulls. This guy who has been an assistant coach for more than ten years praised his tactics, but he is not good at psychological warfare. He admitted: "Jokin Noah and Asik cannot defend against Panda Brother. Of course, for any player in the league, 'Panda' is synonymous with 'headache', and we can only use collective strength to limit his performance."

Qiao Jin Noah felt even more frustrated when he saw the two brothers. He would be beaten by these two brothers six times a season, so he wouldn't mention it.

But unexpectedly, he couldn't escape the playoffs, and maybe he had to face this face again for six or seven games. After this season, he was abused for more than a dozen games, and would he still let people live?

"Fortunately, they are not in the same division." Noah said something insincerely in the interview. In fact, he was afraid that the two brothers were in the same division, but not in the same team. That was the worst situation. This means that he would be ravaged by this face twice in the regular season this season. If he encountered it separately in the playoffs, the scene would be unimaginable!

Kobe repeated his bold ambitions before the game: "We are here to win the championship, and other than that, any result is failure!"

In this round of series, the predictions of the outside media are generally 4:3. Eighty percent of such series with similar strength will reach the seventh game, of which about 40% of the media predicting the Nets' victory, and about 60% of the media predicting the Bulls' victory.

The American media still thinks that the Bulls' overall strength is better. Their external lines are too strong and the inside lines are not bad.

The predictions of Asian media are just the opposite. They think that the Nets' inside line is too strong and the outside line is not bad, so those who win the inside will win the world, and the Nets will definitely win the final victory.

In today's game, Kristen and Kloe Moretz formed a team to watch the game.

Ji Guochou rested for almost ten days, but in fact he did a lot of bad things. If Christine hadn't stopped him a few days ago, the dead panda would have almost eaten the super killer girl.

"If you are not careful, you almost become strong-rape-blame!" Ji Guochou glanced at Kobe, and was scared to death, because in the United States, as long as you have sex with a woman under the age of 16, you will be regarded as strong, both men and women, and this is a serious crime that will take decades.

The Nets' lineup today is: Steve Nash, Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver, Ji Guoqiu, Anderson Varaijo.

Bulls lineup: Derek Ross, Kobe Bryant, Roll Dun, Carlos Boozer, Jockin Noah.

New York's lustful Panda scored a tip-in after the opening. He was indeed very energetic. Although Kobe immediately responded with a goal, Panda's brother made another foul under double teaming. Boozer also forced Valejo to score, and the two teams tied 4:4 at the beginning.

The Nets then no longer focus on the Panda brother. When Nash saw Ji Guoqiu being double-teamed by the Bulls, he began to pass the ball to his partner Valejo. The Brazilian actor unexpectedly became the main offensive point at the opening game, and scored continuously at the basket. He also kept receiving mid-range shots. Valejo scored 12 points in the first quarter.

In the early part of the first quarter, the Nets started with a 12:4 wave. They first overwhelmed their opponents in terms of momentum.

The Bulls then scored 4 points in a row under Kobe's leadership, while Ji Guoqiu beat the unlucky Noah into two fouls. The Bulls replaced the substitute center Asik less than half of the first quarter, and chose to continue to double-team the Panda brother.

Kobe found out that the Bulls had finished half a quarter. The score was 5 points behind and finally began to pass the ball for Ross.

Ross got the ball, made a continuous attack on Nash, helping the team to equalize the score with a 9:3 attack wave.

Nash couldn't get over his face, and he also showed his power on the offensive end, leading the team to a 8:2 offense to retaliate, and the Nets once again took a 6-point lead.

The two teams then entered a big melee, with Boozer, Rollden, Ji Guoqiu, Koval and Matthews all scoring, and Ross scored a buzzer-beating ball with 2 seconds left in this quarter.

After the first quarter, the Nets led the Bulls by 5 points with 34:29, and today is another scoring battle.

Bledsoe scored first in the second quarter, which was the only two points he got today. He never made a single shot since then, and he couldn't defend Ross at all. The Zen master only let him play for 8 minutes today.

Kobe made a big comeback in the mid-range shot, Paul George and Humphries also scored respectively, and the Nets scored 6:2 offense to score a 9-point lead.

The Bulls then did not score for three consecutive minutes, and the Nets successfully expanded the score difference to 11 points.

Kobe got the ball back and started his own scoring mode. After a wave of 8:0, the Bulls narrowed the gap to 3 points. Tony Allen may not have escaped from the defense of Wade. Today, he was unable to defend Pan, and his defense was useless.

The main players of both teams have returned to the court at this time, and the two sides have fought fiercely again, with the scores alternately leading several times in the second quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, Kobe and Ji Guoqiu were both strictly guarded and defended. Nash and Ross started to take over the game again. Both sides entered the offensive battle in the first quarter again. This time, Nash and Ross broke out!

Nash's breakthrough also seemed unstoppable, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of Nets fans. Everyone originally thought that I was going to be completely beaten today, but Nash and Ross' "even if they know where he is going to break, they can't stop him." The former is "You don't know when he will break through."

The Canadian's breakthrough is unpredictable. It is often just a swaying shoulder. You would never expect him to break through, but he has accelerated to pass you, let alone judge the direction of the breakthrough in advance. Ross always waits until Nash passes through his side before he can react.

In the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, Ji Guoqiu and Kobe started scoring again, and the Nets led the Bulls by 3 points 67:64 in the first half.

The competition between the two teams was even more intense in the second half. The Bulls were a little anxious and the Nets kept setting obstacles. Kobe's several unreasonable moves made the Bulls unable to overtake the score. However, Roll Deng and Boozer were very efficient in this quarter. One of them made 2 of 3 shots and the other made 3 of 3 shots in the third quarter. The Nets were unable to take the opportunity to expand the score. The biggest gap between the two sides was only 6 points in the third quarter.

The Nets were scored two consecutive goals by Kobe with two minutes left in the third quarter, and the Bulls were able to overtake. But then Ji Guoqiu dunked in the inside and successfully scored a three-pointer. After Korver made a key three-pointer, the Nets ended the third quarter again with 97:93.

After the start of the fourth quarter, neither team's main players had a rest for a long time. Ji Guoqiu scored first, but Kobe immediately scored a three-pointer. Roll Deng then made three mid-range hits, and the two teams worked together to score a 9:2 offensive counterattack.

Ji Guoqiu assisted Korver to hit a three-pointer at a critical moment. The two teams then fell into a five-minute scoring drought. Until Ross scored 7 points in a row, the Bulls directly scored a 7:0 offense and took an 8-point lead in the final quarter.

The Nets began to be double-teamed in the inside, but the outside line was silent at a critical moment. Although Ji Guoqiu scored two goals in a row at the end of the quarter, Kobe used his personal ability to stand on the free throw line for four consecutive times and successfully beat the giant Pandas to 5 fouls.

With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game, Ji Guoqiu was forced to run outside the three-point line and hit a goal. The score was 112:116, and the Nets were 4 points behind.

Kobe missed a three-pointer, and Nash used Ji Guoqiu to cover the breakthrough, but unfortunately his final layup was blocked by Noah.

Bledsoe performed poorly today, the Canadian played for nearly 40 minutes today, and Derek Ross was facing each other again, and he was exhausted and exhausted at the last minute of the game.

Ji Guochou forced his turn when he was 50 seconds left in the game, knocked down Noah and was called for an offensive foul. He won the sixth foul in this game and was expelled. This was also the first time that Brother Panda left the game in this playoffs.

Although Korver made a three-pointer, Ross broke through again and made a foul and made both free throws. In the end, the Bulls defeated the Nets 122:116, winning the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals, offsetting the Nets' home advantage.

Ji Guochou scored 38 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, Nash scored 24 points and 10 assists, Korver scored 16 points, Valejo scored 16 points, Paul George scored 10 points, and Bledsoe scored 2 points, 1 assist and 2 turnovers.

Kobe scored 34 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Rose scored 28 points and 5 assists, Roll Deng scored 18 points, and Boozer scored 14 points and 12 rebounds.
