—————————————————————————————————————————————

In the second game of the finals on June 8, the Bulls won 103:95, taking a 2:0 lead.

Although the 8-point margin of victory was slightly smaller than in Game 1, the Bulls had an easier time winning this game.

Because of this game, Kobe's touch wasn't as explosive as it was in the first game. Although he scored 30 points on 11 of 24 shooting, as the team's strongest offensive core, Kobe's 30 points weren't enough to give the Lakers control of the game.

On the other hand, Wang Chong scored an easy 28 points on just 16 shots, continuing to outplay Kobe in terms of efficiency.

Basically, as long as Wang Chong can match Kobe on the court, the Bulls will not lose to the Lakers. After all, aside from these two offensive cores, the Lakers' roster is far weaker compared to the Bulls.

In this game, Billups had a double-double with 21 points and 11 assists, and Garnett also had 17 points and 14 rebounds. For the Lakers, the only reliable player was Gasol, who scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.

After two games, the Bulls led 2:0, gaining a significant advantage.

Moreover, no one could do anything about the issues exposed during the Lakers vs. Bulls games.

This is a completely different scenario compared to the Lakers' matchup against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

In the series against the Spurs, the Lakers only had Kobe. Only three players on the team scored in double digits throughout the series. Apart from Kobe, only Gasol scored 13 points, and Odom scored 12.

But Kobe was able to break through the Spurs' defense on his own with his exceptional personal skill and carry the team to victory.

But against the Bulls, who have Wang Chong, this method doesn't work as easily.

Because even if Kobe can penetrate the Bulls' defense, the Bulls have a super scorer, Wang Chong, who is just as good as Kobe.

Whenever Kobe uses his offense to close the point gap, Wang Chong immediately steps up and uses his offense to expand the lead that the Lakers have managed to gain.

After two games, everyone basically reached a consensus: if the Lakers want to win, several conditions must be met.

First, Kobe must be in good form and play efficiently throughout the game.

Second, Wang Chong's touch must not be good, and he must not be able to respond to Kobe's offense.

Third, other Lakers players must also attack fluently and not be suppressed by the Bulls' defense.

As long as these three conditions are met, the Lakers can win.

Lakers fans almost cried when they saw these conditions. Isn't this too difficult?

Since Wang Chong joined the Bulls, he has never scored fewer than 10 points in a game over three seasons, and it's rare for him to score fewer than 20 points. Averaging over 30 points per game is the norm for him.

It's unlikely that Wang Chong will be in bad form, and it's unrealistic to expect the Lakers' lineup, which is clearly much weaker than the Bulls', to have the advantage in the game.

The only thing fans can hope for is Kobe's touch.

Although most of the time, Kobe's touch is less than excellent, in crucial finals games, fans still hope for the skills of the strongest shooting guard in the league after Jordan.

On June 10, Game 3 of the Finals took place at the Lakers' home court, the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

In this game, the Lakers, already trailing 0:2, managed to salvage some face and defeated the Bulls 94:87 to win one game.

Two of the three conditions for winning were met in this game.

Kobe hit 12 of 20 shots and scored 36 points with a shooting percentage of 60%.

Not only that, Gasol, who had been suppressed by Garnett in the first two games, finally recovered in this game, scoring 20 points and grabbing 12 rebounds, becoming the most powerful scorer next to Kobe.

On the Bulls' side, perhaps because the Lakers applied too much pressure at home, or maybe because their wins in the first two games made them play too relaxed, only Wang Chong scored in double figures in the entire game.

Garnett scored 9 points and 7 rebounds, hitting just 2 of 8 shots. Billups also had a poor shooting performance, scoring 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 turnovers on 4 of 14 shooting.

The only player for the Bulls who performed normally was Wang Chong. He finally showed all his offensive power in the final stages. He took 26 shots in the game, hitting 14 of them, 4 of 7 from three-point range, and 10 of 12 free throws, finishing with 42 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists.

However, despite being the only one on the team to score in double figures, the Bulls still lost the game, similar to what Kobe Bryant did for the Lakers in the first two games.

The score is 2:1. Lakers fans, who had finally won a game, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they win another game in their home court in Game 4, they can even the series at 2:2 and have a chance to challenge the Bulls.

But the Lakers and many media outlets were not optimistic.

How can it be that simple?

Anyone who knows basketball can see that luck played a major role in the Lakers' victory. You can't expect the Bulls to underperform in every game. Only Wang Chong can do well, right?

But the Lakers, who couldn't think of any other way to deal with this, could only silently pray that the Bulls would continue their Game 3 form in Game 4.

The facts proved that relying on others' issues is unreliable.

The Bulls, who lost Game 3 of the Finals, didn't panic or feel impatient with the defeat. Instead, they played more steadily in Game 4. Since the general feeling wasn't great, they strengthened their defensive capabilities.

In Game 4, the intensity of the Bulls' defense reached its peak in the series. The strong defensive pressure caused the Lakers' offense to collapse completely in the first quarter, and the team only scored 17 points. The Bulls focused most of their energy on defense. Since everyone was placed on the defensive side, the offensive efficiency was also low, but because Wang Chong was in charge, they still managed to score 25 points in a single quarter.

In the following games, the Bulls continued to pressure the Lakers. Every time the Lakers' offense showed the slightest improvement, the Bulls immediately suppressed them.

As a result, the Lakers only scored 81 points throughout the game.

This is not like a few years ago. Now that the offensive pace is faster, the average points per game for teams in the league is constantly increasing.

In 2003, there were still teams averaging around 80 points per game in the regular season, and there was more than one. However, in the 2007-08 season, the team with the lowest scoring average in the league still averaged 91 points per game. More than half of the teams scored over 100 points.

Among these teams, the Lakers' offensive ability also ranks among the best, placing in the top five in the league, and should not be underestimated.

However, under the Bulls' strong defense, the Lakers only scored 81 points, demonstrating just how strong their defense was in this game.

81:89 was the final score of the game. As you can see, the Bulls' offense wasn't very smooth, even failing to score 90 points, but as long as they scored more than the Lakers, it was enough. The criterion for determining the result of the game itself is which side scores more points.

Only two players from the Lakers scored in double digits: Kobe Bryant with 27 points and Gasol with 15 points.

Although Kobe scored 27 points, he hit just 8 of 21 shots, shooting only 38%. This was the first time in the finals that his shooting percentage was under 40%. After three games, his hot streak had finally started to cool down.

In other words, after the Bulls gradually adapted to Kobe's style of play, under Thibodeau's arrangement, they developed defensive tactics that were more specific to Kobe's characteristics, which produced good results.

In fact, only two people from the Bulls scored in double figures: Garnett with 13 points, and Wang Chong with 46 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists.

With the entire team focusing so much energy on the defensive side, the Bulls relied heavily on Wang Chong's offensive scoring. Wang Chong lived up to the team's expectations and contributed more than half of the team's total points, successfully winning Game 4 of the Finals.

When the Bulls won Game 4, the score became 3:1, and the Lakers were forced into a desperate situation.

In league history, there has never been a case where a 1:3 deficit in the Finals led to a comeback, not to mention the next game would be played in Chicago, the Bulls' home court.

The Lakers, who were in the wrong place at the wrong time and had nothing going for them, were clearly doomed.

The fans in Chicago were going wild with joy.

No one expected that just three years after Wang Chong joined the Bulls, this team, which had seen no hope since Jordan's retirement, would actually win the championship!

It all happened so quickly that many felt like they were in a dream.

But on second thought, it doesn't seem so wrong.In Wang Chong's first season with the Bulls, he successfully led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Last season, he competed with the Spurs for the championship in the Finals.

Although this is only the third season, the Bulls, who already have experience in the Finals and Eastern Conference Finals, why can't they win the championship?

The happiest thing is not that the Bulls win the championship, but that after winning the championship, the Bulls still have a chance to continue to win the championship or even create a dynasty by winning three consecutive championships!

You should know that Wang Chong is now only 23 years old. He is still in the rising period of his career. He has not even reached the recognized peak period of a player, which is between 28 and 32 years old. Wang Chong still has at least almost almost ten years of peak period, as long as he does not suffer from injuries, he will always be one of the strongest superstars in the league.

The other two members of the Bulls' current Big Three, Garnett and Billups, are 31 years old and will turn 32 next season. Although this age has reached the decline stage at the end of their careers, they are not yet in serious. Competitive condition. The degree of decline is such that it is no problem to be Wang Chong's right-hand man and fight for another two or three years.

The Bulls revolve around the basic foundation of the Big Three, and the development of other players in the lineup is also very exciting, especially Marc Gasol, the younger brother of Lakers All-Star forward Pau Gasol, whose performance in his rookie season was amazing . .

A second-round pick, Gasol posted 10 points and eight rebounds during the regular season. Although his numbers in the playoffs dropped slightly, his role on the court was obvious to everyone, at least in the game against the Lakers. disadvantage against Bynum, the young shark the Lakers considered their future inside hope.

Although from a statistical standpoint, Bynum averaged 7 points and 7 rebounds per game, and Gasol averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game. Compared to the top core players on the two teams, they are like rookies, but with Gasol's current situation. With the skill he has shown, it is not impossible to eventually reach the heights of his brother Pau Gasol.

While they rank first in the league in terms of combat power, the prospects for future development remain very bright. The Bulls have reason enough to dominate the league and create a new dynasty after the OK combo era.

--The

June 15, in Game 5 of the Finals, the Bulls, who were so full of momentum, returned to their home court and gave the Lakers no chance. They defeated the Lakers 99:96 and fixed the Lakers' score. Finals 4:1, ending the suspense.

"squeaky--"

When the whistle blew, the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls, cheered like a tsunami, and gold ribbons and fluorescent paper seemed to rain down on the United Center.

Bulls bench players and coaching staff ran onto the court and hugged the players on the field.

Garnett looked to the sky and roared. In the 13th year of his career, he finally won the NBA championship.

Among the Bulls players, Wang Chong is the quietest. Although he also laughs, hugs and celebrates with his teammates, he is in fact the quietest relatively speaking.

There is no way, all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.

In the first season Wang Chong joined the league, he won the championship with the Lakers OK combination. Now in the fifth season of his career, he won the second championship of his career.

In terms of professional resumes, only players like Magic Johnson and Shifu Duncan and Wang Chong of the Spurs are similar in league history.

As strong as basketball god Michael Jordan was, he had to be brutally defeated by the Celtics and Pistons. After suffering a lot, he won his first championship in the seventh season of his career.

Therefore, for Wang Chong, winning the championship seems to be a natural thing. Although he is happy, he is not so excited as to shout to the sky and then bow his head to cry like Garnett.

On the contrary, what Wang Chong is most happy about is that after winning the championship, the main task of upgrading the system has finally been completed!

MVP regular season, championship, FMVP finals.

After obtaining the above three achievements, even if Wang Chong has fulfilled the mission conditions for the system upgrade, the system that has entered the upgrade and update stage can finally reopen and continue to provide him with various powerful and useful functions.

Of course, we have just won the championship at this time and the FMVP of the Finals has not yet been announced, so the mission conditions have not been officially fulfilled, but that is only a matter of time and it only takes ten minutes.

There will be no suspense about Wang Chong's selection for the FMV Finals.

In the 5 finals games, Wang Chong averaged 38.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 54%. This performance would rank among the best in all Finals in the last ten years, that is, in. O'Neal, who averaged 38 points and 16.7 rebounds per game, arguably drew attention against Wang Chong in the 1999-00 season.

There is a big gap between other Bulls players and Wang Chong in terms of statistics, including Garnett with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 4.6 assists, and Billups with 18.8 points and 7 assists. They have no chance of competing with Wang Chong for FMVP. sex.

It is simply impossible for a situation like Iguodala's in the future to happen to the Bulls right now. Wang Chong can't wait for the league to announce the final results of the FMVP voting.
