In the opening game, the Bulls' defensive tactics were just aimed at the Mavericks' offense, and the opponent was caught off guard.

Johnson was forced to adjust his tactics and let Nowitzki pull out to cover Terry, Terry held the ball and Nowitzki misplaced to receive the ball, and the two attracted the pack or the defense and then passed.

In this way, it is tantamount to following the old path of the first two games, pinning hope on the misplaced shot, rather than creating open spots, and the Bulls are not afraid of this.

The Bulls did not make substitutions, and their tactics were the same as in the previous three games, launching counterattacks when they had the opportunity, increasing movement and looking for misplaced opportunities.

Wang Jun attracted the defense on the perimeter, and then handed it to Lore Deng or Nocioni to attack Diop on the baseline, and the two scored in a row.

Diop was treated as an overweight and lazy player during his four years with the Cavaliers, and was drafted with the eighth pick in the first round in 2001 but never improved. Coming to the Mavericks, his playing time and statistics have reached a career high, but it is still difficult to wash away the stigma of wasting talent.

Johnson was dissatisfied with Diop's defense and replaced Dampier with him, and the Bulls played Dampier instead.

Skeys was adamant about misalignment, giving his role players a lot of trust and doing more than that. Everyone on the court scored, and Chandler also dunked in the air and grabbed the rebound in the front court for a second offense.

Nowitzki was worried about getting into foul trouble, and the basket didn't dare to foul again.

Wang Jun hit 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and did not get a free throw, scoring 10 points in a single quarter.

The Bulls led 33-24 in the first quarter.

The calf's weakness was caught by the bull, and the second quarter was no exception.

The Mavericks were short of benches inside, and Van Horn played three minutes in the second quarter. was seized by David Lee and attacked again. Johnson was helpless not to get on Van Horn. Nowitzki can't rest, and playing the full game certainly doesn't guarantee efficiency.

The upper swingman made a cameo appearance in the No. 4 position. There is a lack of height on the court, and the Bulls can easily hit the basket. The center doesn't go out, and the periphery throws directly.

Wang Jun didn't rest, and hit a three-pointer against Terry in a misplaced position, and made two free throws for a breakthrough, and the difference quickly widened to 15 points.

Under the leadership of Terry and Nowitzki, the Mavericks struggled to catch up and fell behind.

In the second half, the situation did not change in the slightest.

Barkley commented: "The Mavericks have not been able to limit the opponent's offense. I'm afraid I'm going to lose this one. ”

"The Mavericks have completely fallen into the rhythm of the Bulls, and they have struggled to suppress their opponents due to their poor pick-and-roll defense, lacking a fast interior line," ESPN Brin said. ”

Experts agree that Stackhouse is not as strong as Jamison. When Jamison played star stats with the Wizards, people believed this even more, and in the trade with the Wizards, the Mavericks made a loss-making deal.

Stackhouse is always passed in the face of Wang Jun, and if Wang Jun slows down, he can still interfere with the shot. In the counterattack, Wang Jun used European steps and changed direction jumps, and Stackhouse had a big head.

Starhouse was a man-busty man, a proud man, and his anger grew.

He doesn't think he's even a supergiant. He can also be regarded as a first-class star, and being selected for the All-Star Game twice is the best proof of this.

How could he be so weak? Being teased by a Chinese kid in a row?

This is not true!

In the last quarter, Wang Jun broke through Dampier on the right side and broke into the inside line. Stark House finally couldn't take the pressure and exploded, and he rushed up from the side.

Stackhouse is a straight dash rather than a high jump. Not to the person, not to the ball, hugging Wang Jun with both hands. The head also gave him a blow to the shoulder, knocking Wang Jun out of the air.

This is an obvious malicious foul, but fortunately, Wang Jun did not choose to dunk, but wanted to pull the rod and shrank to control his body, otherwise it would be over.

He slammed to the ground, his back hitting the ground and almost dying.

Everyone was stunned by this non-basketball action.

Nocioni rushed up and shoved Starkerhouse hard. This push was not small, pushing the other party to sit on the ground.

The Bulls players are good-natured and don't have any record of fighting, and Nocioni is angry. Seeing that the situation is very good, it is likely to win the championship, but the opponent actually hurts their core with a bad move?

The players on both sides did not cause a group fight, because the Mavericks players were at a loss. The referee stood between the two and stopped Nocioni from chasing Starhouse.

The referee gave two second-degree malicious fouls and sent them off the court, and at the same time beckoned the team doctor to enter the court.

Chandler was quick to keep the bench from rushing onto the pitch and didn't make a big deal out of it. He's still a relatively qualified captain. If another player is suspended, maybe it adds some variables to the game.

Zhang Li's angry speech was trembling. "Stackhouse saw that the score couldn't catch up...... actually made a yin move, this was completely aimed at people, Wang Jun fell very badly this time. ”

Looking at the slow-motion replay, Yu Jia sighed: "Wang Jun stood up and left the field directly with the team doctor, he landed on his back, this height is really scary." Stackhouse had to be suspended, and that foul was too bad. The Mavericks' home fans were silent, probably embarrassed that this happened, right? ”

Wang Jun was not seriously injured, but he fell and was out of breath, and Skyles asked the team doctor for his opinion and decided to let him go back to the locker room to rest, with 5 minutes left and a 17-point lead, his teammates should be able to withstand it.

If Wang Jun doesn't fight, Starhouse will definitely be punished more severely.

At this time, David Stern in the president's office received a call and immediately became angry.

"The game broadcast live around the world actually maliciously fouled Wang Jun? Almost got into a group fight? What is Stackhouse? Give him the harshest punishment of the ban, and hurry up and prepare a charter. ”

On the other end of the phone, Adam Xiao Hua, who had just been promoted to first vice president, asked: "What if Wang Jun can't play in the next game and the ratings drop?" ”

"It's time to decide the winner in the next game, whether Wang Jun plays or not!" David Stern said coldly.

The series would have been fair, with both sides on the same starting line. If the Mavericks win by strength, the league has no opinion. After all, Kuban is a big taxpayer, and he has to give him some face.

Now, Stern doesn't think the Mavericks deserve the title of champion, they're just a bad example for the league.

If the Mavericks rely on malice to seriously injure the opponent's core and win the championship in a reversal, what kind of start will this be? Mavericks Bad Boy Army?

If the Pistons' scumbag style of play was not eradicated, the NBA league would not have entered the stream at all, let alone make as much money as it is now. Only a mentally ill person would preach the kind of brutal defense of the NBA in the '80s and '90s. What kind of basketball do you like to watch violently so much, isn't it good to watch boxing directly?

Superstars ruined by injuries are the last thing the league wants.

It takes a lot of time, manpower and material resources to pick up a star; And ruining a star sometimes only takes a malicious foul.

After Stern spoke, the rest was left to his subordinates. Although the next game is still the home of the Mavericks, it is easy to arrange three referees who look unpleasant to the Mavericks to blow the penalty.

This kind of unspoken rule has been mentioned for a long time, a game to see who enforces the law, can analyze the winning rate, and make a profit in gambling, this is a real situation, and the league does not need to say hello in advance.

In the final five minutes, Nowitzki made 1 of 4 shots and sleepwalked on the court, failing to lead the Mavericks to complete the comeback.

The Bulls won 111-95 and got a match point.
