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

With the help of the referees, the Cavaliers briefly gained the advantage against the Bulls. However, when the Bulls' unethical tactics of shark cutting and changing free throw targets shifted the situation, things changed once again.

You can always rely on O'Neal's free throws.

While the Cavaliers' offense was hindered, Wang Chong also began to exert his strength. He made two three-pointers from the outside in front of James, along with his characteristic mid-range jump shot, and quickly tied the double-digit deficit.

The mood of the local Cavaliers fans shifted from excitement and enthusiasm to anxiety, and finally, despair.

How can the Cavaliers win the game when they can't even win with the help of the referee?

The score reached 3:0, and the Cavaliers once again faced elimination.

In the third game, James recorded an enormous triple-double with 39 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Even with the help of the referees, he still couldn't lead the team to a win. It would truly be a victory.

After this battle, James faced much criticism in the league. After all, from the perspective of the team lineup, although the Cavaliers' Big Three were not as high-quality as the Bulls' Big Three, Ray Allen was still very capable in immediate combat. O'Neal's performance was poor, averaging 17 points and 9 rebounds over 4 games.

In this case, I don't expect James to defeat Wang Chong and reach the finals, but at least he shouldn't be so embarrassed to be swept 4:0.

Three years ago, when Wang Chongchu arrived, when the Bulls were still a new team not considered a favorite by anyone, the playoff matchup between the two was a clean 4:0 sweep. Three years have passed, and although Wang Chongchu has performed outstandingly, surrounded by teammates like Billups and Garnett, James is also growing, and his teammates are becoming stronger as well. So why is the result still 4:0? Does this mean your strength is not as good as Wang Chong's?

If it was too early to draw a conclusion before, now that Wang Chong has swept him for three consecutive seasons, it can basically be concluded that James is not as good as Wang Chong, or that Wang Chong has him beaten, almost repressed by blood.

Even if James is very dissatisfied with this conclusion, there is no place for rebuttal.

——

"The facts have proven that James is not as good as Wang Chong. It's true that he is also a rare superstar in history. Since landing in the league, he has continuously broken the league's youngest scoring records. He has been selected to the All-NBA Team 4 times in just 5 years of his career, 2 of those consecutively."

"But just like players born in the same era as Jordan, especially the shooting guards in the same position, no matter how outstanding their skills are, Jordan's light will overshadow them."

"James, known as the proud son of heaven, is destined to spend his entire career in the shadow of Wang Chong's light."

"Crack!"

Turning off the TV and slamming the remote on the coffee table, James' face turned pale and he was in an extremely bad mood.

One day ago, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals officially ended with no suspense. The Cavaliers lost again at home and were swept by the Bulls 4-0.

Although James averaged almost a triple-double with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists over 4 games, his shooting percentage of 47% is considered very efficient for a perimeter player.

But no one will praise his performance based on his overall stats.

In competitive sports, winners and losers matter. When you lose the game, what's the use of having good personal stats?

In the 1985-86 season, the Bulls led by Jordan were eliminated by the Celtics in the first round. Jordan averaged 43.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in the series. Even Birdie was defeated. He had been playing ball on the 23rd day.

Even so, the experience of being swept by the Celtics in the playoffs remains a humiliating battle in Jordan's career.

James was even worse than Jordan. Jordan was swept twice by the Celtics led by Bird in the third and fourth years of his career. Counting this time, James was swept by Wang Chong for the third consecutive year. This time, they are much better than Jordan was back then.

In this comparison, many fans who hoped James would become the second Jordan were naturally disappointed, especially because the one suppressing James was the 13th overall pick in the same draft. At the beginning of the draft, James was the first pick. It was simply heaven on earth.

But James himself doesn't believe this. He admits that Wang Chong is really strong, especially on the offensive side, and his scoring ability is slightly better than his. However, when considering the level of a player, we cannot just look at the scoring ability. Defense, rebounds, organization, and support are all important reference points, and James is confident that he can beat Wang Chong in these areas.

Therefore, Wang Chong has always achieved better results than James in recent years. In his opinion, it's simply because the opponent has better luck.

It's all about luck from the moment you enter the league to the draft.

James was the number one pick and the most expected pick. The only team that could select him was the Cavaliers, a bad team with the worst record, and due to its momentum, there was no chance any team could acquire him through trade.

However, Wang Chong, who was selected with the 13th pick, was sent to the traditional giant Lakers due to some worthless trade chips. When he first entered the league, he partnered with OK and successfully won the NBA championship as a rookie.

Wang Chong, who found himself in Los Angeles, was also well-received in terms of exposure, almost as much as James, who had gained fame even before entering the league.

But Wang Chong, who later moved to the Bulls, his good luck still hadn't ended.

The Bulls' rookie lineup was considered quite poor at the time, but everyone performed surprisingly well. While each one grew at a surprising rate, their value also increased.

Monta Ellis was traded for the All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups.

Luol Deng and Tyson Chandler were even traded for Kevin Garnett, a major star in his prime.

Sometimes, James can't help but envy Wang Chong's good luck. Why do all the good things happen to him?

Even now, the young faces of the Bulls lineup are also performing well, like starting center Marc Gasol and sixth man Paul Millsap. Although their personal stats aren't good due to the team's positioning, they obviously can be. He has seen that, over time, these two will definitely become the main starters and at least reach the level of the great Z experts.

You must know that these two players were cheap players that the Bulls missed in the second round of the draft.

While James felt envious, he also felt a deep sense of unwillingness.

"If Wang Chong and I switched teams, I could beat him 4:0. What's so hard about that?"

But the problem James faces now is how to have better teammates than Wang Chong.

To form the Big Three lineup of James + Ray Allen + O'Neal, the Cavaliers almost emptied their wealth. Even if the league has better players to trade, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to provide enough attractive players, unless they are willing to leave the Big Three on the shelves.

But the problem is that James himself cannot be used as trade currency. Ray Allen is still a very good immediate combatant, and his playing style is also very consistent with James, so he is not suitable for trade.

As for O'Neal, whose contract expires in 2010, he has an average annual salary of up to 20 million. With his current competitive status and the fact that he will turn 36 next season, he has become a negative asset, let alone being used for trade. Even if they want to get rid of high-quality star players, they would still need some draft picks before a team would be willing to take him on.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Cavaliers to make other big moves for at least two or three years.

If James wants to find better teammates, he only has one option, and that is to leave the Cavaliers and join a team that is strong enough or has the pieces to build a stronger lineup than the Bulls.

But whether he does this or not, James is also extremely conflicted. He knows that once he makes this decision, the external doubts will grow louder, and if he can't defeat Wang Chong with this move, he will really fall into the abyss!

James, who is already very shrewd and has planned every step of his career from the start, has clearly judged that this choice is very important. Once he makes a misstep, the impact on him will be enormous.

——When

James was upset and frantically thinking because he was swept by Wang Chong again, Wang Chong didn't pay attention to these problems at all.

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Bulls took the lead in reaching the finals, waiting for the winner of the Western Conference Finals, and the Western Conference Finals wouldn't keep them waiting too long.

In the Western Conference Finals series between the Lakers and Spurs, the Lakers took an absolute advantage, leading by winning the game point at 3:1.

The lineups of the two teams are almost the same as in the 2007-08 season in history. Although the league situation has changed, the two teams have not changed much, and their strength is almost the same.

For the Spurs, Duncan averaged 22 points, 17 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, single-handedly suppressing the Lakers' interior line. Gasol and Odom's combined rebounds barely matched Duncan alone.

Tony Parker also averaged 19 points per game and shot nearly 48% from the field.

The only GDP player who performed well was sixth man Ginóbili, who averaged just 12 points per game and shot less than 36% from the field.

Of course, GDP's performance is not the point. The point is that the Spurs have nothing to do with Kobe, who is at his best.

In 4 games, Kobe averaged close to 30 points per game and his shooting percentage hit 53%, which was higher than Duncan's shooting percentage as an inside player. He almost single-handedly shattered the Spurs' defensive system.

This is the most striking contrast between the playing styles of Kobe and James.

In the original 06-07 season, James of the Cavaliers was easily defeated by the Spurs in the Finals, but just one year later, Kobe used his offense to defeat the Spurs.

Unlike James' style of getting open and distributing the ball with the ball, the Spurs' defensive system with Duncan at its core was defeated.

Kobe is now a high-level shooting master, and his long-range shooting is probably second only to Wang Chong in the league. In addition, he is also a player who is very hungry. Once his condition improves, even Jordan won't be. scared.

The Spurs were unlucky. They ran into Kobe, who was in excellent condition. Even though Bowen, who was defending for a while, did his best to guard Kobe, he was still easily beaten.

In fact, in last year's final, the Spurs were also defenseless against Wang Chong's mid-range. Unfortunately, the Bulls had no players who could compete with Duncan in the paint.

Even though Gasol and Odom were stifled by Duncan alone in the penalty area, the two still caused Duncan plenty of problems when they joined forces.

And the biggest reason the Bulls lost to the Spurs in last year's finals was that the Spurs team's copycat tactics were completely broken and the head coach didn't have the ability to adapt on the spot.

The Lakers' tactics are not shallow like the Bulls', and head coach Phil Jackson is recognized as a top-tier coach, even stronger than Popovich.

Leveraging hardware and software configurations, the Lakers have a big advantage.

May 29, Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Spurs, with one foot on the precipice, worked hard to win the game, but Kobe Bryant's little universe exploded again. He hit 16 of 30 shots and scored 39 points to just lead the Lakers to defeat the Spurs. 100:92 The defending champions Spurs were eliminated by a big score of 4:1 and entered the finals.

The script the league leaders and the vast majority of the fans were waiting for is coming.

Bulls vs. Lakers Finals, showdown on the 24th!

Former Lakers player Wang Chong's reunion with his old club and the grudge between him and Kobe Bryant are finally about to show off on the Finals stage! The Bulls and Lakers met in the Finals, once again demonstrating the Lakers' terrifying gold content in the 2003-04 season.

In the summer of 2004, the OK group disbanded.

In the summer of 2005, Wang Chong officially left the team.

In the next three years, O'Neal successfully reached the Finals and won the championship with the Heat in 2006, proving that, as a superstar, he could win the championship even without teaming up with Kobe.

In 2007, Wang Chong led the Bulls to the Finals. Although they lost to the Spurs 2:4 and unfortunately missed the championship, it was an honor to lose.

In 2008, Wang Chong and Kobe Bryant made it to the finals and nearly starred in the battle of the century.

In the past three years, the 2004 Lakers players have participated in the NBA Finals every year, and all of them are the main players. This is enough to show how strong the Lakers were in the 2003-04 season. that the Lakers still have With two twilight superstars, Karl Malone and Gary Payton, and the good combination, F4, if you add Wang Chong, who then emerged as the youngest MVP, the Lakers starting lineup at that time was so luxurious that It was simply enviable.

O'Neal and Wang Chong left the Lakers because of him, but both thrived in the Eastern Conference after leaving. In contrast, only the Kobe Bryant-led Lakers continued to struggle in the first round and on the brink of the playoffs..

This time he led the team to the finals and won the regular season MVP, his highest personal honor, which finally straightened Kobe's waistline a bit.

Although he was the last player of the trio to take the team to the finals in 2004, Kobe finally did it, and not only in the finals, he also defeated Wang Chong and the Bulls head-on and won the NBA championship, proving that he is the strongest player in this league!
