Winning the MVP is both motivation and pressure, and there is no way back for Wang Jun in this series.

If he was eliminated by the Pistons just after winning the best player, he wouldn't have had a good time all summer.

And there are a lot of media waiting to see his jokes, as long as the bulls are out, there will definitely be a lot of media that will make news that he is a "data brush", and he doesn't want these people to get their wish.

After the opening, the Bulls' morale was like a rainbow, and the Pistons did not show weakness, the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the defensive movements were very large, the shooting rate was not high, and the Bulls fell behind by 1 point after 16-17 in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, Skels arranged another surprise tactic.

Wang Jun does not rely on cover, catches the ball alone, and moves on the bottom line in the positional battle to attract defense. Chandler screened Hinrich down the middle and cut to the basket.

Lore Deng plays as a playmaker on the side, playing Hamilton with the ball, or passing the ball to Wang Jun and Hinrich in the running position, Chandler goes deep into the basket, and he can also hoist the ball in on the side.

Lore Deng began to show a good ball quotient, his unpretentious passing may not be able to directly form an assist, but he can get the ball into the right place. HIS 206CM HEIGHT ALLOWS HIM TO HAVE A WIDE FIELD OF VISION ON THE OUTSIDE.

Rashid went out as soon as he defended, Chandler had an absolute height advantage on the inside, and Ben Wallace didn't dare to pounce too far away.

When the Bulls played small-ball tactics, Nocioni made a cameo appearance at the No. 4 position to occupy the bottom corner, and Rashid couldn't go out, otherwise the opponent would shoot easily.

Big Ben's weakness is revealed, and he's too short. He has a strong side block, but if Chandler catches the ball close to the basket, shakes it and shoots again, Big Ben can't cover it.

If he had been carrying Chandler and not letting him into the box. There was no way to quickly change the defense, Hinrich's pull-up jumper. Catch-and-jump shots are good.

Throughout the second half, the Pistons failed to solve the pick-and-roll problem. Ben Wallace's free throws also gave Sanders a headache. In the third quarter of the stalemate, Wang Jun and Nocioni hit three points in a row, and the score finally opened.

94-79, the Bulls led 2-1.

Chandler surprised fans by chipped a playoff high of 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Lore Deng finished with 21 points, four rebounds and five assists on 7-of-15 shooting, 1-of-4 three-pointers and 6-of-7 free throws.

Wang Jun shot 9-of-14 and 2-of-5 from three-point range. He made 3-of-3 free throws and finished with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. He doesn't shoot much and has a high hit percentage.

The piston is still an old problem, there are too few scoring points, and once the trident is killed, it will be dumbfounded. Prince had 12 points and five rebounds, the most points in the series.

Rashid said they would win on defense, but it turned out to be the other way around.

The Pistons defended well, and the Bulls' stats were well below their average points per game in the regular season. However, on the premise of ensuring defense, the Bulls defeated the Pistons with a better offense.

After the game, the Pistons players were still hard-mouthed. Confident to walk away with a win at home in Chicago.

The coaches of both sides fought with wits and courage, and both dared to change tactics, and Sanders made a new move in the fourth game.

He allowed Rashid to open the game with a low post attack basket and attack Hayes for that. To prevent Hamilton. Recently, it has been Chandler who has been on the bench.

Rashid's main task before that was to go out and cover, then look for opportunities on the perimeter and take the ball. His first three games were soft. The hit rate is also not high. As an interior lineman, a 42.2% shooting percentage in the playoffs is too low. Even if he shoots 40.5 percent from three-point range.

Rashid only scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on the court, and this game finally came to an end. Singles Hayes scored on consecutive turnaround jumpers.

Whether it is turning to the middle or the bottom line, he relies on his height and arm span advantage to avoid the block with a straight-arm jumper.

Hayes' anti-man defense doesn't work, Rashid doesn't have to get close to the basket, he has excellent range.

After all, it's only a base-salary player, and the Bulls can't expect Hayes to kill an All-Star. Skeles made a substitution after Rashid scored eight points, and Chandler came on early to limit Rashid's interior attack.

Rashid immediately stopped the basket and pulled it out to give Hamilton cover, outside and other opportunities.

Hamilton started to play again, hitting back-to-back shots and hitting a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Chandler can't change the guard a little slowly, Hamilton is too good to run, Wang Jun can't keep chasing the defense, and Rashid can't let go.

Relying on the 16-point lead established in the first half, the Pistons fought hard to defend in the second half and finally won the victory.

77-85, the Bulls scored less than 80, and the players were collectively dumbfounded.

Wang Jun felt terrible under strict defense, shooting 8 of 24, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 22 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

In the fast break, he misplaced Hamilton several times and failed to shoot the ball, not because of his mentality, but because of his sluggish form.

No matter how powerful a star is, there will always be times when there is a downturn, but Wang Jun has only played twice in this series.

He is very depressed, the consequences of not winning this home court are very serious, and he is not allowed to continue to make mistakes, otherwise what awaits the Bulls will only be out.

Zhang Reasonable sighed: "Today, Wang Jun's fight is too unreasonable, and a lot of people are attacked." ”

Yu Jia disagrees with this statement: "He actually played like this in the regular season, and many games were played against people, but he couldn't find a crosshair this time." ”

Zhang Li said helplessly: "In the final stage of the regular season, he played too long, and he consumed a lot of physical strength in order to compete for the scoring title, it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all, I hope he can adjust." ”

At the press conference, Wang Jun was too lazy to speak, saying: "We will go to Detroit next game to work hard, no one wants to lose, it is a pity to lose a home game, but we are not without a chance to win away, we have won once before." ”

With a 2-2 overall score and a crucial fifth game in Detroit, the advantage was again on the Pistons' side.

History shows that 80% of the teams that win Game 5 win the entire series, and the teams playing at home are more likely to win.

Many media outlets changed their tunes after the game, and experts were bullish on the Pistons to advance.

The day before yesterday, he also said that Wang Jun was the leader and would definitely lead the team to defeat the Pistons. It wasn't a good game, and it looked like he had been eliminated.

To the reporter's surprise, after returning to Detroit with the team, Wang Jun did not stay in the hotel to recuperate, but called his girlfriend to go out together.

Recently, Abby went to the Bulls' home court to watch the game and support, breaking up the rumors.

Going out before the big fight, Abby felt that it was very inappropriate and asked, "Are you sure we can date at this time?" I don't blame us for spending less time together, really...... If you're for me, go back now. ”

People who are celebrities, people who do big things, can't put too much effort into falling in love, Abby fully understands. Only people who have watched too many Korean dramas and owe their IQ will feel that love is the most important thing in life, but she is not.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "What are you going back for?" I'm too nervous right now and I need to relax, otherwise it's hard to play. If I stay in the hotel all the time, will the media be able to say good things about me? As long as I have a low hit rate, they won't let go of the opportunity to hit me. ”

"That's right. How are you going to relax? Abby asked.

"How about playing on a game console? I know Detroit has a good home appliance city. Wang Jun proposed.

"Okay."
