Chapter 523 [Nouveau riche mentality]
At the press conference, the bulls were basically nouveau riche.
Skeles was usually serious, and now people know why. Because he is like "sister-in-law Bei", laughing is more ugly than crying.
"The players did everything I wanted them to do, I'm proud of them, I'm proud to be the head coach of the Bulls," he said of the game. As long as we keep up our form, we will be at the top of our season this season. ”
The reporter asked: "It only took one season for the Bulls to go from a fringe team in the playoffs to the strongest in the East, apart from Wang Jun's joining, do you think there is any secret?" ”
"Solidarity." Skeles said a word.
Unity is what makes it strong.
And before Wang Jun came, the bulls were not united.
Hinrich, Lore Deng, Eddie Curry, and Ben Gordon all want to be the boss of the team, they are about the same ability, and the number of shots is similar, none of them average more than 15 shots per game, and no one can cut an average of 20+ per game.
Coaching arrangement is one thing, to put it bluntly, there is no core. They can cooperate in order to win, but they don't convince anyone in their hearts.
Wang Jun's arrival broke the original balance, and his teammates were calmed and convinced. Unless the coach is a brain-dead, he will not deliberately reduce Wang Jun's shots and use him as Ben Gordon.
The Bulls are not like the OK combination, and if Wang Jun is compared to Kobe, no one on the team can be O'Neal. Who will conflict with Kobe Bryant other than O'Neal? You've been in the team for too long, and you want to change the environment, right?
David Lee smiled happily in an interview.
It's been a while since the game ended, and he's still taking a shower, and his face is still red. Apparently the excitement is gone.
"When I first arrived at the Bulls, I had a peculiar feeling that this was the best place for me," he said. We could have achieved amazing results, I thought that from the day we started. ”
The reporter asked: "Are you confident of winning the championship now?" ”
"Of course. I think the Bulls will win the championship. Because of Wang Jun's presence, he is too powerful. As long as he attracts the defense, I shoot as easily as I did in practice. I won't miss this opportunity. David Lee laughed.
Hinrich, who had a quasi-double-double with 12 points and nine assists, said: "After the arrival of Wang Jun, the Bulls have changed dramatically, he can attract the bag, and the opponent will not dare to relax his defense for a moment. Even if we don't get open places, we can get good opportunities to misplace. Because of his presence, we can also focus more on the defensive end. Solid defense. ”
Chandler had 10 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks to defend the restricted area.
His expression is the richest, like a backpack trip at any moment, like the bull is already a champion.
Speaking about the Bulls, Chandler said: "I think we're a lot like the 76ers in 2001, the overall defense is very good, Wang Jun is better than Iverson, he shoots very high, all positions. We're stronger than the 76ers. The Mavericks are much weaker than the Lakers in 2001, and they are not dominant in the low post. That's why we won, Dampier and Diop don't want to score in front of me. ”
Chandler spoke too inattentively, and his remarks could easily offend Iverson's fans.
Although Iverson played the Lakers in the finals that year. The best game was just 18-of-41 shooting, scoring 48 points, and the key was to win. Otherwise, the Lakers won the championship 16-0 that year.
Wang Jun is better than Iverson, and 76ers fans will not admit it. They do admit that the Bulls' role players are better than the 76ers. Now there are a large number of Aimi, Komi, and Prince at war online. I want to prove that the bull is not a single core.
Wang Jun is the most popular, and the reporters who interview him are the most.
When talking about your feelings. Wang Jun was serious and surprising. 'We had a perfect start, but I think the most important thing is the next one. If we lose a home game, we will be greeted by three consecutive visitors. So I don't think you should be happy too soon, you have to be 12 points in spirit for the next game. ”
The reporters were stunned, the person who usually likes to laugh the most, is so calm this time?
A reporter asked, "Do you think the Mavericks still have a chance to win?" ”
"Of course they have a chance, and to reach the finals proves that they are not underdogs, and we can't underestimate the enemy. If we relax because we were too happy for the first win, the consequences will be unimaginable. If the score is 1-1 away from home, we risk losing the title before we can return home. But if you take a 2-0 lead and go away, even if you lose all three games in the worst-case scenario, you have a chance to turn the tables at home. Experts think that there will be seven finals. ”
Hearing Wang Jun say this, Skyles, who led the team to the finals for the first time, turned from happy to self-blame, and a little cold sweat broke out on his back.
He didn't play a final when he was a player, so he's so excited this time, it's not what a good coach should be.
Preparing for the best and preparing for the worst is what Skyles often says, Wang Jun remembers, fortunately this time gave him a wake-up call. If you are too optimistic, he will be a sinner if he loses the next game.
The reporter asked, "What do you think the Bulls should do next?" ”
"Every game is played as a tie-break, and every game must have the idea that we must not lose, and never give up until the last minute until we win the cup. That's what we did when the Nets played the Lakers. The Bulls are a young team, and we've played beyond everyone's expectations, and we're just challengers and not winners. Wang Jun said loudly.
Reporters took pictures, and this is what the leader should say.
Wang Jun will say this because he has experienced a finals, and he has more experience than others.
The reporter asked: "So what do you think is the chance that the Bulls will win the championship?" ”
"Eighty percent, I believe in myself, I believe in my teammates more, and people who chase their dreams are more likely to play their strength than those who have already grasped their dreams."
The reporters are sweating wildly, and they are still very arrogant. said that he did not despise his opponent, but thought that the Bulls had won.
Wang Jun is a contradiction who is both confident and careful.
The Mavericks were interviewed after the bull.
"Little General" Johnson said: "We are not going to give up hope, and we are not going to win all the games at the Bulls' home court, and we can take the initiative with one victory. ”
If he had said this before, the reporters would have felt it made sense.
But after interviewing Wang Jun, the reporters all felt that the calf would end up as if it was more than lucky, because the bull would definitely fight with them and would not be careless.
Johnson added: "We have some problems on the defensive end this time, and the bench play is not satisfactory, I will find a way to solve all this, and I will definitely not let Wang Jun score so many points in the end." ”
That being said, Johnson has no bottom in his heart.
The Mavericks' best defense on the outside is Adrian, who has no offensive power, so will he continue to play a lot of minutes in the next game? Adrian scored 4 points on 2-of-4 shooting in this game, and there was no threat at all.
The Bulls still have a chance to lose the next game, and as long as they win one game on the road, they can go back to their home court and wait for the comeback.
If the Mavericks lose again, they will probably lose the championship.
In the history of the NBA, only the Boston Celtics in 1969 and the Portland Trail Blazers in 1977 were able to come back from 2-0 down to win the championship.
Mavericks can't afford to lose!
