The Bulls were in high spirits, but the rest of the Cavaliers were also in very good shape tonight.

Looking back, it was Jamison again who received a pass from James and made a three-pointer.

And after the Bulls' offensive wave failed, Williams' three-pointer allowed the Cavaliers to overtake by 3 points.

These old, weak and useless players in the eyes of Cavaliers fans were in great form tonight.

De Nagro stood up and hesitated whether to pause.

However, something that happened on the field at this time made him give up this idea.

Because after Williams hit that three-pointer, Xu Yong pointed at James' nose and said something trash: "I've got you!"

Yes, after realizing that the trash talk he was spewing was too advanced for James to understand, Xu Yong chose to be simple and straightforward and get to the point.

My goodness, this scene is so damn familiar to Denagro.

And because he had seen Xu Yong and Jordan trash-talking each other before, he was not surprised at all by the scene in front of him.

Ordinary players trash-talking their opponents when their team is leading by a large margin;

A few players like Kobe Bryant: Talk trash to you at crucial moments;

Jordan: Talking trash to you when we're behind.

As someone who wore No. 23 in college and regarded Jordan as his idol, this is so reasonable!

James: Damn it...you are taking advantage of me!

Xu Yong: That’s right.

James was completely enraged, and I just spread my hands and said, we are all NBA players, why does it matter to me?

But looking at Xu Yong's expression, the answer to this question is already there without even asking.

Moreover, Xu Yong had only responded to him with his performance before, and even his trash talk was rather obscure, but what he did just now was pure provocation.

He is indeed a rookie and doesn't know anything about the ways of the court.

There was a ruthless look in his eyes.

Since you are so unethical, don't blame me for being cruel.

During the Bulls' offense, Xu Yong continued to hold the ball and challenge James.

Once you taste the sweetness of one date, there is no reason not to reach for a second one.

However, he had already smelled the dangerous aura emanating from James.

After his teammates created space, Xu Yong once again chose to change direction and break through on the right.

James had already raised his elbow in advance, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Yong's waist when he changed direction to the left.

No matter how strong a man is, his kidneys are still fragile.

However, what he didn't expect was that Xu Yong did not change direction a second time. Instead, he used his left foot to push him past him from the right the moment he turned around.

This time O'Neal was blocked by Brown and couldn't get through. Xu Yong jumped into the air and made a violent finish with both hands.

The huge muffled sound and the bulging biceps of Xu Yong's arms captured by the camera once again ignited the United Center.

Denagro couldn't help but stand up and applaud Xu Yong with a smile.

Talking trash to you and then dunking on you, what Jordan does.

And the key point is that James really didn't dare to continue holding the ball on the offensive end to respond.

Now it's not a question of whether or not he's an Ah Q. It's because James really doesn't dare.

If Xu Yongsheng intercepted another goal, he would really have no choice but to ask God to delete the video of this game.

However, the other players on the Cavaliers were really strong tonight. As soon as Varejao replaced O'Neal, he made a tip-in over Brown's head.

Although Brown is good at pushing on people, he is still at a disadvantage against this kind of flexible inside player.

The score difference is still 3 points.

"This is the last time you disrespect me." When the offense and defense switched, James responded to Xu Yong's trash talk with trash talk.

When Xu Yong heard these familiar words, he immediately laughed.

Before he was reborn, he had seen the news about the origin of this trash talk, and it made him laugh at the time.

At that time, the Lakers, where James was, were playing against the Grizzlies. After the sophomore Bane hit a three-pointer, he said to James, "Your paper defense can't defend me at all." James was enraged and repeated the trash talk to Bane.

Of course, this was not the reason why Xu Yong laughed. The reason for his laughter was because of the sentence that followed the news: After James finished talking trash, Morant immediately broke through and caused damage. After making two free throws, the score was widened to 22 points.

"Go! Bulls!"

At this time, the fans at the scene cheered for the home team in unison.

Now on the field, the Bulls have suppressed the Cavaliers, but the score has not widened, and they need a wave of momentum.

Xu Yong once again used a change of direction without slowing down to break through James. James' advantage is confrontation, and his speed is a disadvantage when facing forwards and guards. This is why his mismatched defense is often ineffective.

Facing Xu Yong's move, it was difficult for him to keep up with the rhythm, not to mention that after two consecutive moves, it was even difficult for him to judge whether Xu Yong would change direction in front of his body.

However, from his early turning action, it can be seen that the reason why he spit out such trash talk was that he had no intention of defending Xu Yong head-on.

Under the gaze of the fans, Xu Yong changed direction without slowing down, passed James, rushed to the basket and took off into the air.

When Valanciunas on the opposite side saw this, he hid immediately. Although he is an actor and even played a supporting role for James in the Slam Dunk Contest, he would definitely not participate in this game where he would obviously be used as a background.

No, it's not that I don't dare to go up, I'm just worried that Xu Yong will pass the ball to Brown again!

James had already chased to the basket at this time. After seeing Xu Yong had jumped, he pushed Xu Yong with both hands without hesitation.

“Bang!”

Xu Yong slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

Then, he felt a familiar force coming from his waist.

He simply grabbed the basket with both hands and used his body to relieve the force.

Although he wouldn't get hurt if he fell, he didn't want to experience that kind of pain again unless he had no choice.

And now we have to thank Draymond Green. He has learned from his mistakes and will not make the same mistake again.

Moreover, the force was mutual. Xu Yong's bulging muscles relieved him of the force, and then his body instinctively pulled back, giving James an aerial version of the "Humiliation of the Slam Dunk".

The Chicago fans who were about to boo James because of his dirty moves burst into cheerful whistles and laughter the next second.

This is a typical case of James trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice, which led to another scene tonight.

And James couldn't get angry at this time, after all, he was going to do something dirty.

As a result, the Cavaliers' high morale was obviously dampened.

After all, this group of people lived in the [Kingdom of Knights] all day long, and now their king was being humiliated but he didn't do anything at all. It was hard for their morale not to be frustrated.

Just then, there was a whistle on the sidelines and DeNagro replaced Gibson with James Johnson.

This was another top rotation, which was intended to limit Jamison and also because he saw James's move and used nuclear weapons to protect Xu Yong.

The substitution had an immediate effect. The Cavaliers' morale was low and they couldn't play well, so they had to let Jamison hold the ball and play one-on-one.

Johnson's characteristics are that he is strong and has good defense. He not only successfully defended Jamison, but also seized the opportunity to complete a steal.

In fact, he is very good at holding the ball and passing. He is a rare swingman who can organize the game with the ball.

After a complete steal, he fast-forwarded and then passed the ball to Xu Yong with a long pass across the court.

After receiving the ball, Xu Yong started to perform immediately. After breaking through the wing, he made a 360° turn and slammed the ball into the basket.gif!

The United Center was once again in a frenzy because of Xu Yong.

Tonight Xu Yong is simply a god-like existence!

21 to 22.

As the score reversal came, it was obvious that the momentum the Bulls needed had been gained!

The morale of the Cavaliers has already hit rock bottom at this time.

Because besides Denaglo, the players from both teams also heard Xu Yong's trash talk.

After shouting "I've got you beat," Xu Yong scored 6 points in a row to help the team reverse the situation.

This has a huge psychological impact on people.

The result was that the Cavaliers' offensive wave directly failed, the Bulls launched a defensive counterattack, and Hinrich received the ball and made a layup, which directly stopped the Cavaliers.

The fans at the scene started to party wildly.

When the Bulls won the first game unexpectedly, they felt happy, and then some excited fans went to social media to argue with others. After all, those Cavaliers fans could clamor to sweep the Bulls before;

After the Bulls lost the second game, they were helpless but also actively encouraged each other. After all, in terms of strength, the Bulls are much weaker than the Cavaliers, and it is good enough to play a 1-1 score.

After the Bulls won the third game by surprise, although some media started to mention the Warriors' surprise defeat, they remained calm. After all, winning by surprise may not always work, and being overturned 2-1 is not uncommon in the best-of-seven series.

But tonight, when the referee came on the court, when the team was able to turn the tide in the face of a 5-on-8 situation, even when the Cavaliers were in full form, they only wanted to shout: Black eight! We want to black eight! Right now! This year!

After the timeout, the Cavaliers used James' pick-and-roll tactics.

James was a little dazed after being beaten, but Brown remembered how to deal with it.

However, James' mentality was obviously affected after being repeatedly rubbed by Xu Yong, and he failed to hit the mid-range shot when he had the opportunity.

Brown jumped high to protect the defensive rebound. He didn't have Noah's ability to advance, and he couldn't even pass the ball, so he followed Xu Yong's instructions and held the ball while waiting for his teammates to come and receive it.

Hinrich came over and got the ball, and the Bulls advanced to the frontcourt to play positional play.

Xu Yong's breakthrough with the ball was blocked by multiple people. Brown also adjusted the defense during the timeout just now, which was to prevent Xu Yong from breaking through to the basket.

Xu Yong did not force an attack, but passed the ball to Walker on the weak side.

Walker quickly adjusted after receiving the ball and shot a three-pointer.

“Swish!”

The basketball went into the net.

He continued his hot hand from the regular season!

This three-pointer was also very crucial, because if he missed the shot, the Cavaliers would double-team Xu Yong.

At this time, in the stands, Foreman was laughing happily.

In addition to Xu Yong, Brown and Walker have both played tonight, and his mid-season trades played a big role tonight.

James attacked the basket, and Brown was called for a foul for the same action after switching defense.

There was a burst of boos at the scene.

However, Brown's expression was very calm. At this time, the first quarter was already halfway through, and being called for a foul as a substitute would not affect the overall situation.

Of course, this guy who criticized James as a "great data brush" after retiring in history, now cast a look of contempt at James.

But to be honest, this ball has nothing to do with James. The referee just wanted to save James' face. If he didn't blow the whistle, James would be unbearable to watch.

James goes to the free throw line.

It was at this time that the fans at the scene began to shout black whistles and curses once again.

James even wanted to go to the player tunnel.

But after all, he had been in the alliance for many years. After muttering a few words that no one understood, he calmed his breathing.

"when!"

The first penalty went wide.

"when!"

Two stable free throws missed.

"Fuck!"

James finally swore at the free throw line.

It's really like the basket is going against him!

The scene was once again filled with cheers from the fans.

Amidst the cheers, Hinrich found an opportunity from the outside and shot a three-pointer.

“Swish!”

This "veteran" who admitted his mistakes to the rest of the team at the end of the season has added another blow to the Cavaliers' wound!

21 to 28!

The score difference was instantly widened to 7 points.

The Bulls are really gaining momentum this time!

James got the ball in the frontcourt and passed it directly out of bounds.

He took out his braces, put his hands on his hips and looked at Parker who was running away speechlessly, as if it was Parker's fault.

Parker could only pat his chest and raise his hand to indicate that it was his own problem.

"The Cavaliers haven't scored in a long time." Mike Breen said from the commentary booth.

Miller on the side was inexplicably silent.

As a professional commentator, he should have cooperated and said, "The Cavaliers should find a new way to score", but James didn't even score the points given away by the referee before. Does the Cavaliers have any new way to score now?

You can't expect the Bulls players to score a few own goals, right?

Just then, a detail changed on the field.

That is, James switched to defend Walker, and the person defending Xu Yong became Parker.

The classic [I can’t defend against finding teammates].

Seeing this, Xu Yong decisively broke through Parker and hit a turnaround jump shot with his pivot foot.

Parker's confrontation is much weaker than James', and the Cavaliers did not dare to double-team him because his teammates made consecutive three-pointers. This was a great opportunity to widen the score to double digits.

His judgment and choice were correct, except...

When he was about to land, Xu Yong suddenly had a strong sense of crisis and caught a glimpse of someone breaking into his body out of the corner of his eye.

I watched so many basketball games before my rebirth, and I also played so many basketball games myself. If I had to say the dirtiest move in basketball, stepping on the foot would rank second, and nothing else could rank first.

Because the two most important parts of a basketball player are the knees and ankles, especially the ankles, which are very fragile. If someone trips on their feet, it can easily cripple a person.

Carter, Leonard, Granger, there are too many stars who were ruined in their prime. Even Kobe quickly fell after being tripped by Dahntay Jones at the end of his career.

Therefore, Xu Yong occasionally practiced during his normal training to prevent this kind of situation.

He also used it quickly. At the moment of landing, he chose to retract one foot and land on one foot, concentrating the weight of the whole body on his right foot.

Simple physics knowledge: the magnitude of force is related to the area where the force is applied.

He didn't know who was tripping him, but he knew that he would not get hurt and this method could inflict the greatest punishment on his opponent.

Soon, his foot stepped on something hard.

A sharp pain came from his ankle, and he fell to the ground and bent over in pain after landing.

Even though I was mentally prepared, the pain would not be alleviated just because you were prepared!

However, the one who was even more miserable at this time was the person he stepped on.

That's right, James.

James never expected Xu Yong to land in this way, and it was too late for him to retract his outstretched foot.

He immediately realized that he was injured when he felt a sharp pain in his toe.

Even he was jumping up and down in pain.

The referee was confused at the moment, especially the linesman. He saw James stretching his foot and was hesitant about whether to blow the whistle. But how come James jumped on his foot in the end? !

Then, to everyone's surprise, James jumped under the basket and tried to use his hands to steady himself, but the piercing pain caused him to fall limply.

Thanks to his strong physical fitness, James is rarely injured, but looking at his appearance at this moment, he is really seriously injured!

The audience was also confused; they didn't understand what was going on.

Fortunately, at this time, the large LED screen on the scene showed the replay of what had just happened, and James's foot tripping was too obvious in the slow motion camera.

There was a lot of booing and even cursing at the scene.

8 against 5 is already unsportsmanlike. And stepping on someone's feet like this, especially by the team leader, is really insane!

The team doctors from both sides have already come on the field.

Xu Yong had recovered from the pain by then, and he slowly stood up with the help of the team doctor.

There is a very interesting question: will the person whose foot is stepped on definitely get hurt?

The answer, of course, is no, because this is purely a probabilistic event, but there is a high probability of getting injured.

It's not uncommon for someone to step on someone else's feet and end up hurting themselves.

So when Xu Yong saw that it was James and that James was injured, he left the team doctor's support and started walking back and forth on the court.

Hey, take two steps, it’s okay, he takes two steps.

The fans at the scene didn’t react at first, but when they did, there was overwhelming cheering.

The person who stepped on someone's foot looked extremely painful, but the person who was stepped on was fine now?

Although they didn’t know what exactly happened, their cheers at this time also represented their mood: evil will be punished, and a good death will be bestowed!

James was already in great pain, and his teammates lifted him upside down and prepared to move him to the bench.

It was at this time that he saw Xu Yong walking on the court.

At that moment, he felt a sweetness in his throat and almost vomited blood.

He held his forehead with his hand and breathed deeply, feeling like he was going to faint from the pain.
