Chapter 201: Twilight of the King



A few days later, Xu Yong went to the villa next door in Chicago.

As soon as Xu Yonggang entered, he saw the big goose beating the little tiger.

The little tiger has doubled in size, but still doesn't dare to resist. It can only be said that he has been beaten since he was a child, and has been traumatized by the beatings.

After putting the goose into the cage, Xu Yong took out the meat and started feeding the little tiger.

The little tiger runs faster and jumps higher than before, but it still likes to walk six or seven steps before speeding up and jumping.

After a while, the gate was pushed open, and before anyone could see anything, a voice came in.

"Senior, you were selected for both the first team and the first defense!"

Then he saw Butler walking towards him quickly with a cell phone in hand.

At this time, the league had just announced the last batch of awards, the best team and the best defensive team.

Butler is very excited. Although being selected into the All-NBA First Team does not attract as much attention as the MVP, it is an absolute recognition of the player's strength.

With this honor, his senior has truly entered the ranks of "super giants".

The third-year super giant is so terrifying.

However, Xu Yong was relatively calm.

Expected result.

He has already won the MVP this season, and it is a sure thing that he will be selected for the first team.

As for being named to the first team defense, that's not surprising because he was one of them last season.

But to be honest, the value of his selection to the defensive first team this year is not as good as last year's.

It’s not that his defensive ability has declined, but the successive injuries of Rose and Yao Ming have forced him to take on more responsibilities on the offensive end.

Even if he is in good physical condition, it is difficult for him to defend the entire court like last season, and he can only do so at certain specific times.

But the evaluation of the best lineup of this period, just like the MVP selection, is very dependent on impression points.

In addition, since the award was only announced at this stage, Anthony probably made an indelible contribution to this achievement.

Butler still handed the phone to Xu Yong, who picked it up and looked at it.

The best team: Xu Yong, Kobe, James, Durant, Howard;

Second team: Paul, Westbrook, Harden, Nowitzki, Yao Ming;

Third team: Rondo, Parker, Anthony, Griffin, Love;

Xu Yong’s first feeling after watching it was, I became a point guard?

However, the selection of the best team is different from the All-Star voting, and there are no rigid regulations on positions.

To go a bit extreme, you could even have all five of you be forwards.

However, this result does prove what Pat Riley once said: The future of basketball will be five 2.03-meter forwards on the court at the same time.

The second feeling was, looking at the king who was teasing the goose through the cage not far away, where are Bosh and Wade?

Rose played too few games due to injuries, and probably did not meet the game requirements for evaluation.

As for Bosh and Wade, it is useless to ask the little king. You have to ask the real king.

Looking further down the list, the defensive lineup was a bit surprising.

The best defensive team: Paul, Xu Yong, James, Ibaka, Howard;

Second team: Rondo, Kobe, Garnett, Tyson Chandler, Noah.

The most surprising thing, of course, was that Kobe was not selected for the first team. You should know that Kobe had been selected for the first team nine times before.

The Lakers have such a strong presence this year, there is no reason for Kobe to be left out of the first team.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, Kobe is old.

Although he didn't miss many games this year, he played in many of them with injuries, and the shortened season still put a lot of strain on his body.

Therefore, during the game, he could only choose to devote most of his energy to offense and did not perform much on the defensive end.

The second surprise is that James is still holding on, because the same situation also happened to James.

But there is no way around it, James can always produce very good statistics, which is also a kind of ability.

"Senior, you have the chance to become the second best person in history!" Butler suddenly said.

When he said this, his eyes were full of admiration.

The more Xu Yong achieved, the luckier he felt.

"Cough cough!" Xu Yong coughed due to choking.

He doesn't want to be a deputy goat.

"You have the chance to become the second player after Michael to win the scoring title, MVP, and Finals MVP in a single season and be selected to the All-NBA First Team at the same time." Butler explained immediately after seeing Xu Yong's reaction.

Butler was telling the truth. If there hadn't been the restriction of being in the double first team before, three other people had done it, but with this added, there is only that one left.

If he achieved this great achievement after Jordan, wouldn’t that make him the second in history?

Xu Yong smiled and continued, "If the Most Improved Award is added, will I surpass Michael and become the first person?"

You see, he has learned how to customize honor.

Butler was stunned for a moment and nodded, as if it was indeed the case.

Xu Yong patted Butler on the shoulder: "Before winning the championship, these are meaningless. After winning it, the championship is the most meaningful, and..."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I still owe you a championship ring."

Yes, he has fulfilled the promise he made two years ago, but he still owes Butler the promised championship ring.

After the league announced the last batch of awards, the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals also ended one after another.

In the West, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 4-2. Although Duncan has been the same for 20 years, the Spurs are indeed a bit old.

183 The masked man finally unveiled his mystery, and it turned out to be me, Chris Cannon.

The Thunder defeated the Mavericks 4-2, successfully completed their revenge, and met the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

Durant averaged nearly 35 points per game in the series, playing the role of a destructible.

Although the Mavericks lost the game, they got Leonard this year, so the situation is not that bad.

Judging from Nowitzki's performance, he can at least maintain his core level for two or three seasons.

Then comes the Western Conference Finals, Thunder vs. Lakers, a clash of titans in the West.

Gasol faces his old team, Durant and Kobe face off against each other, and even Harden and Paul face off...

This will be a series that viewers will not want to miss.

In the East, the Heat ended the series with the Pacers 4-1.

The Pacers were eliminated in the divisional semifinals, and their loss was rather ugly.

This is definitely not the result that General Manager Larry Bird wanted to see. Losing is not unacceptable, but this loss was a bit too complete.

However, this process brought about another thing, of course, from the perspective of Xu Yong, the reborn person.

That is Granger, who should have been tripped by James in the playoffs this year, but he is still fine.

To put it bluntly, the reason why James tripped Granger was not because he had thought about it before the game, but because the situation was too tense and he got angry.

But now that the situation is going well, there is naturally no need for him to do such a thing again.

The wheel of history has shifted again here, and things are starting to get interesting.

The Eastern Conference Finals, the second match between the Bulls and the Heat.

Although it is the second match, this year's highlights will be more abundant than last year, because the previous discussions of fans are not groundless.

Given the internal fighting of the Heat last season and the premise of the Big Three working together at their peak, it is hard to say whether they can continue to maintain this trend if they are defeated by the Bulls again this year.

To sum up, this year's two sets of matchups between the East and West will give you a feeling of being exciting and dazzling.

The regional finals were about to begin, and Xu Yong was caught by a female reporter for an interview during training day.

Not only did he win the MVP and be selected into the All-NBA First Team, he also physically beat Pierce. Xu Yong is the hottest star at the moment.

At first, the reporters asked about things related to honors, and Xu Yong behaved very modestly.

However, when the female reporter asked the next question, he suddenly became a little uneasy.

"We know you now have a new nickname, the Chicago King, what do you think of this?"

This question is actually very interesting, because there is no such word as "King of B" in English, so the reporter translated it as "King.of.B".

This is obviously an imported product from China, and then it became popular on social media in the United States.

"No, I won't call myself king." Xu Yong immediately shook his head.

The reporter was stunned for a moment. She naively thought that Xu Yong had misunderstood, and immediately explained that it was the King of the Kingdom, not the King. She never thought about how Xu Yong, a Chinese, could not understand this imported product.

"Oh, that's okay. I think it's a cool thing when I can be on par with Larry Bird." Xu Yong said with a calm smile.

Xu Yong's remarks were reported by the media before the game, instantly triggering a war on social media.

In fact, as mentioned before, social media has already been filled with smoke of war, and this statement undoubtedly dropped a bombshell.

Because what Xu Yong did was just like when he elbowed James' eyebrow before, it seemed unintentional, but it was actually intentional!

However, perhaps as if the battle was not intense enough, the user named "KBforever" also revealed a small thing.

"I heard that when Xu's friends went to his home, they found that he actually had a little tiger named 'King'. So how could he call himself a king? The king is just his pet!"

Okay, this isn't a bomb, this is a nuclear bomb.

Social media almost came to a standstill because of this.

I have to say that Xu Yong usually doesn't engage in verbal battles, but when he did, it perfectly explained what it means to make a big splash.

At this moment, perhaps only Garnett, who had experienced "nice.try", was not so surprised.

Against this backdrop, the Eastern Conference Finals began.

As the No. 1 team in the league, the Bulls are well-rested in Chicago.

The United Center was packed, and Jordan once again showed up at the United Center.

Before the game, he had a close interaction with Xu Yong on the sidelines.

This scene was projected onto the large LED screen, immediately drawing cheers from the audience.

The relationship between Xu Yong and Jordan is quite complicated. Before Jordan returned to the United Center, no one thought of Xu Yong as the cause.

But as the relationship between Xu Yong and Jordan continues to improve, especially now that Jordan is showing his affection with Xu Yong, when fans think back, they finally feel like the clouds have cleared and the sun has appeared.

It turns out that Jordan has always been optimistic about Xu Yong!

James sat on the sidelines, his body shaking.

Xu Yong's teasing before the game, his pet remarks, and Jordan's show of affection really made him explode.

It’s a pity that neither he nor most of the fans at the scene knew that what Jordan and Xu Yong were talking about was just sneakers.

Because the previous contract was too short, and next year is the contract year for Xu Yong's sneaker contract, Jordan will naturally try his best to keep Xu Yong.

This is also the reason why he came today even though he had decided not to come to the United Center before.

Xu Yong responded with a smile, and said that the details would be discussed in the summer.

Now he is having a very pleasant cooperation with AJ, and he doesn't necessarily have to switch to Anta as he had decided before, but he wants to explore a new model, but this kind of thing is obviously not suitable to be discussed in this kind of occasion.

After Xu Yong had finished his talk, the scene entered into the opening ceremony and the starting lineups for both sides were announced.

Miami Heat: Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh, Joel Anthony;

Bulls: Rose, Xu Yong, Artest, Gibson, Yao Ming.

The game is about to begin and the starting players of both sides are about to appear on the field.

Before going on stage, Xu Yong went to the technical desk to wipe his hands with magnesium powder.

Magnesium powder is certainly not placed here specifically for James to throw. It is a kind of powder that absorbs sweat and increases friction. Its essence is to prevent slipping.

It is used less frequently in basketball games, but is most common in weightlifting competitions.

Xu Yong picked up the bottle of magnesium powder and suddenly noticed a detail: there was a little less magnesium powder in it?

He looked at the staff not far away, and the staff gave him a meaningful look, and he understood instantly.

After pouring some water and wiping his hands, he walked onto the stage and couldn't help but look back.

James just walked to the technical desk at this moment.

His expression looked very serious, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

But when he picked up the bottle of magnesium chalk, he found it was empty.

He turned around with the bottle in his hand in confusion, made a gesture to the photographer as if he couldn't pour it out, and habitually spread his hands to express his helplessness.gif.

Then he saw many people laughing and some even applauding behind the technical desk.

His face suddenly turned dark, and for a moment he wanted to throw the empty bottle at the applauding audience member.

But in the end, he still endured it with his domineering attitude, because the Bulls clearly wanted to provoke him.

It was at this moment that the staff member said sorry and brought him a new bottle of magnesium powder.

James was completely at a disadvantage this time. He gave up throwing magnesium powder and turned to the court with a cold face.

Xu Yong saw the entire process.

He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the king.

How can you people be so evil? The king said he wants that damn respect, why don’t you give it to him?

After a brief interlude, the game started soon.

The Heat attacked first, and Xu Yong switched to defend James as usual.

He really loves the king, so he has to express his feelings face to face.

However, when James saw Xu Yong switching defense on him, he didn't even take the ball this time. He walked to the weak side with his hands on his hips.

This decisive look made Xu Yong a little uncomfortable. He still liked James's arrogant look at the beginning.

In a four-on-four situation in the first half, Wade made a breakthrough jump shot after Bosh's pick-and-roll.

You know what, the Heat's offense played much smoother without James' involvement.

However, James is invisible on the offensive end, but Xu Yongke is not invisible. He doesn't even need to put in any physical effort on the defensive end. He still has to play more on the offensive end.

He went to the frontcourt and asked for the ball with his back to the basket. After receiving the ball, he backed up to Wade. After seeing James coming to help defend, he made a fake turn and then passed the ball to Rose who was cutting in.

James was facing Artest. The reason why Xu Yong didn't pass the ball to Artest was because the Heat were rotating in assisting defense and someone had already gone to cover for Artest.

On the contrary, Rose played proactively and had the opportunity to cut in.

Rose's layup after receiving the ball was strongly defended by Anthony. He completed the shot while losing his balance and caused a foul.

Seeing this, Xu Yong quickly walked over and pulled Ross up from the ground with both hands. After confirming that Ross was not seriously injured, he reached out and patted his butt.

Rose was able to score this goal and he looked in good shape tonight.

However, this year, except for not playing much in the first round, Rose's condition in the second round was much better than last year.

Everything has two sides. Frequent injuries during the regular season caused his condition to fluctuate, but he also got a lot of rest time, which was just right for him to perform well in the playoffs.

Rose's free throw was also made steadily, verifying Xu Yong's judgment.

No, it's not just this free throw.

When they returned to the defensive end, when Xu Yong and James were staring at each other on the weak side, Rose actually stole the ball from Chalmers.

Moreover, when facing James's block, he dodged with a beautiful pull-up and steadily put the ball into the basket.

This immediately caused the United Center to explode.

Last season’s MVP is finally back!

Xu Yong also gave Rose a vigorous high-five while retreating.

Given Rose's current form, why don't we try to sweep the Heat again this year?

Wade was standing nearby at the moment, and he shed tears of envy as he watched the two's actions.

They are really different.

The Heat played positional defense again. Xu Yong did not continue to play the staring game with James. He watched for an opportunity to shrink his defense and blocked Qian Moss' layup directly from behind.

Because of Xu Yong's block, the Heat were obviously very cautious when they sent the ball out from the sideline.

An extremely embarrassing scene occurred in this context.

Wade was being closely watched, Chalmers couldn't pass the ball to him, and he didn't dare to shoot. In the last few seconds, he chose to give the ball to James!

Xu Yong returned to defend James at this time, and he was stunned when he saw James.

It is always James who passes the ball to his teammates at the last moment of the offense. How could his teammates pass the ball to him!

Then James' choice shocked Xu Yong again.

With 3 seconds left, James actually wanted to pass the ball to his teammates.

He played as a team, Xu Yong was really going to cry.

In the end, James held the ball until the whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the Heat committed a 24-second offensive violation.

This time, Spoelster was forced to spread his hands like James, and he learned a lot.

But in fact, the one who suffered the most at this moment was Qian Moss.

Because right after James put the ball down, he turned around and gave Qian Moss a death look.jpg.

Yes, the Eyes of Death arrived as expected, but the background was slightly different from that in history.

Poor Chalmers, the former MOP of Kansas. He was Bosh's punching bag last season and suffered from James' cold violence this season. It's really miserable.

But this is not anyone else's fault, it's just that he is not smart enough.

If you were still a rookie, this passing choice would be understandable. After all, there was no chance to pass the ball to the team leader at the last moment, so there is nothing wrong with that.

But the problem is that you are in the fourth grade and have played with James for almost two seasons. Don’t you know the technical characteristics of James?

If this kind of ball had happened in Cleveland before, it would have been tortured to death!

Then looking back, Rose made a three-pointer from outside and scored 8 points in a row after the opening!

When this shot was made, not only the fans but even the Bulls bench were excited.

This condition is not ordinary good.

As for James, apart from the Eye of Death just now, it seemed as if he had really crashed.

Xu Yong was a little confused. What was James up to?

Even if you feel you have no confidence in beating him, you should still play without the ball, grab offensive rebounds and defend like he did in G3 of the previous round, right?

Even the little king he raised would show resistance even if he couldn't beat the big goose!

Could it be that... James' groin is really injured this time?

About 8 minutes into the first quarter, the score was 14 to 22, with the Bulls leading by 8 points.

Without James' participation, Wade and Bosh both played very well. They didn't have much ball possession this season, so they worked hard when they had the ball.

However, the Bulls were in hot form tonight, especially Rose, who scored 12 points alone.

In this state, Xu Yong can just start winning without any effort tonight.

Therefore, Thibodeau substituted Yao Ming off the court early to rest.

The reason why Rose was not replaced was that Rose was in good shape, and the reason why Xu Yong was not replaced was that Xu Yong did not attack much and did not need a rest.

Xu Yong didn't mind. He had only played for more than half a quarter and his physical energy was indeed not consumed much.

After playing with James for a long time, my eyes are a little sore.

The key is that James is still on the court and his eyes are still suffering.

Then, just as he was thinking this, James seemed to be suddenly connected and started asking for the ball.

Seeing this, Xu Yong instantly became alert and took a defensive stance.

But soon, he encountered a familiar pick-and-roll wall.

Still a familiar recipe.

Then after he used puppy steps to quickly dodge Jones's pick-and-roll, Haslem's pick-and-roll came again.

When he was trying hard to get around Haslem, Anthony's pick-and-roll came!

This is simply a James-style triple door.

James finally took advantage of the pick-and-roll to get into the paint and slammed the ball into the basket despite Yi Jianlian's defense.

After completing the dunk, James flexed his biceps and made a Thanos expression.jpg.

At this point, Xu Yong finally understood what James was up to.

It turns out that James had been enduring all the humiliation he had endured before, just waiting for this moment.

This is very kingly.

Because it's one-on-one, James' efficiency against him is very low, and if he does a pick-and-roll, he will face Yao Ming guarding the inside.

When neither of these two options works, he can only score from mid-range, which is relatively inefficient for him.

James would definitely not choose something that would greatly lower his shooting percentage unless he had no other choice.

So James simply didn't play at the beginning and waited for the opportunity.

This so-called opportunity is when one of Xu Yong or Yao Ming goes down.

There is no need to say much about Xu Yong. Given James's form this season, he is very confident even when playing against Artest.

If Yao Ming goes down, the Bulls' inside line this season will be different from last season, with O'Neal retiring and O'Neal Jr. just returning from injury and still looking for his form. He can find room to play by using pick-and-rolls.

As for the Bulls' immediate intention to substitute Yao Ming, since Yao Ming had a lot of energy in the second round and the situation is still good, Thibodeau is unlikely to do so.

Well, as long as you are smart and patient enough, you can always find a way to output.

Turning around, Xu Yong received a pass from Rose and immediately returned an answerball with a mid-range shot.

He shot this ball very easily, just like shooting practice.

Because Rose was in such great form, he basically compressed the Heat's entire defense with just one rush to the inside.

He increasingly feels that he can score twice against the Heat this year.

It’s just that the Heat’s multiple gates are a bit difficult to deal with, because even with his puppy steps, it’s difficult for him to get around so many pick-and-rolls in a row.

James took the opportunity to score two more points.

Seeing this, Thibodeau called O'Neal Jr. to strengthen the protection of the basket.

On the offense, Xu Yong ran without the ball and waited for Rose to pass the ball.

You can get an easy chance to shoot without the ball, so there is no need to waste energy in physical combat.

But at this moment, his pupils suddenly widened, and then he rushed directly towards James.

Because at the moment when Rose was making a layup, James kicked Rose directly!

Rose changed direction and made a layup without slowing down. After passing the opponent without slowing down, he made some movements in the air to slow down and complete the shot.

During this process, Rose basically couldn't see what was happening under his feet.

Moreover, James' motives are very reasonable. Because the Pacers failed to play on equal terms with the Heat, he did not step on Granger; now that Rose is in hot form and leading the Bulls to suppress the Heat, he chose to step on him!

He even learned from his previous failed attempts to trip Xu Yong, and if he couldn't trip Xu Yong, he would trip Xu Yong's teammates.

Because everything happened so fast, Xu Yong found himself unable to catch up.

He felt a little annoyed, he should have thought of it earlier.

James is so abnormal, how could he just be looking for an output angle? He must have a lot of bad intentions.

In the end, he still couldn't catch up.

But...James's tripping attempt was also unsuccessful.

Because Rose's deceleration in the air is equivalent to gliding in the air, the landing position is not fixed and easy to judge like a jump shot.

Rose narrowly escaped the disaster, but Xu Yong did not stop there. He rushed to James and pushed him hard, then said to James viciously: "If you dare to try that again, the next time it won't be Biaojiao who gets beaten up!"

What is an effective threat? Xu Yong's words made James' eyes widen.

He knew it! Xu Yong did it on purpose last time!

The referee rushed into the arena and stood between the two men.

And this time he gave Xu Yong a technical foul immediately.

However, Xu Yong did not care about the technical foul. Instead, he stood there and stared at James. In this way, he confirmed what he had just said.

James wanted to fight back verbally, but the words were stuck in his throat.

That’s right, Garnett was not the only one who saw Green’s comments about kneeing him on the social media. He also searched for it and saw Green’s miserable condition.

Not to mention that when Xu Yong said this, he already felt a dull pain in the corners of his eyebrows.

He turned around and followed his heart.

The referee made a decisive decision because Xu Yong took the initiative to provoke trouble this time.

Including the fans at the scene, some felt that Xu Yong’s temper seemed a little too hot after being elected MVP.

However, after both sides were persuaded to leave and the replay of the previous goal was played on the large LED screen on site, the fans discovered the reason for Xu Yong's impulse.

James, like Bowen did back then, is preparing to destroy Rose's job.

Xu Yong is not just hot-tempered, he simply hasn't done enough!

Ross realized belatedly what had just happened, and as he stood on the sidelines he looked at Xu Yong with gratitude.

"Be sure to pay attention to him next time you break through." Xu Yong reminded.

Rose nodded vigorously. Xu Yong had been blocked by James twice before, so he should have been alert.

Thibodeau was also very angry after watching the replay. He turned around and called Anderson, and took advantage of the interval between technical free throws to replace Anderson and O'Neal Jr. in the inside.

Including Artest who was already on the court, the Bulls' three main fighters were all on the court.

If James dares to make any move again, Xu Yong doesn't need to take any action, because these three people can teach James a lesson.

From Xu Yong to Thibodeau, the entire Bulls team is focused on disrespecting James.

Otherwise, why would the staff dare to mix the magnesium powder like that before the game?

The reason is very simple. Who would care about a perennial loser?

Moreover, this defeated opponent tried time and again to destroy the team's future stars.

If James wasn't Nike's top brand, just what he did to the Bulls would have been enough to prevent the Heat bus from entering the stadium.

Of course, this year James will probably be in the same boat with Anthony after the game. It's easy to get in on the bus, but difficult to get out.

Then the Chicago fans also showed their disrespect to James.

"The Pet King! The Pet King!"

When James was taking the technical foul free throw, no one knew who started it first, but a uniform shout rang out in the United Center.

This scale is much larger than the previous NDRC Garden Arena.

After all, Xu Yong's dunk over Pierce, which caused the latter's "injury", was not intentional, but James did not change his bad habits and tried to trip him again.

Faced with this huge shout, James' free throw hit the front of the basket directly and almost missed the shot.

Then when the sideline ball was kicked out, the shouts at the scene turned into boos.

The difference between James and Xu Yong, the two MVP contenders, was also reflected in the boos.

Before that, Xu Yong scored 11 points in a row amid the boos of more than 20,000 people, completely shutting up the Boston fans.

But James, when he broke through after the pick-and-roll and faced O'Neal, he actually dropped the ball!

With this kind of mental quality, I have confirmed through the look in his eyes that this is the same player who smiled slightly and scored 8 points last season.

The whole place was immediately filled with laughter and the entire stadium was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Xu Yong also seemed very surprised. How come James has become like this after just a few months of not seeing him?

He was still able to analyze the situation when he was afraid to play in the first quarter, but now even O'Neal, who just returned from injury, has become weak?

However, this actually touches upon Xu Yong's blind spot in knowledge, psychology.

From the advice James gave to Anthony before, it can be seen that after two and a half years of confrontation with Xu Yong, James' mentality has changed from the initial confrontation, including but not limited to head-on, calling pick-and-roll, and tripping, to avoiding the opponent's sharp edge and evading the opponent by means of Tian Ji's horse racing.

In a sense, Xu Yong has become the nemesis of James' career.

Because of their technical characteristics, nemesis does exist, such as Jrue Holiday to Lillard, Deron to Paul, Howard to Yao Ming, and so on.

Facing his nemesis, and a big nemesis like Xu Yong, James was already scared. He felt guilty after failing to step on Rose. Then he was scolded as the "Pet King" by the away fans. With the pressure of the triple gate, it was obvious that he could not concentrate.

Yes, James' current state is explainable, but the Bulls don't care about you.

After the pick-and-roll, Rose encountered James' help defense. He did not use his signature change of direction without slowing down. Instead, he changed direction in front of his body continuously, making James wave his arms in place like a puppet, and then he passed him and scored an easy layup.

Even if it's Rose, he will retaliate fiercely after being tripped.

That’s not all. In the next offensive round, after Rose broke into the restricted area and encountered James’ help defense, he directly threw the ball to the right side of the basket.

Over there, Xu Yong just put down his hand that was pointing to the sky, then he jumped into the air and touched the ball with one hand in the air.

“Bang!”

Xu Yong's one-arm blockbuster hit, and James, who had no time to dodge, became a background board!

The fans at the United Center were completely excited.

James not only failed in his attempt to trip someone up, but was also teased and dunked over by others. This is really embarrassing for him!

At this time, James no longer looked like Thanos. He looked extremely depressed and even looked back at Spoelstra.

Spoelstra turned around and called Odom.

When the next dead ball occurred, James was substituted.

At this time, the photographer did not give the down-and-out king the last bit of dignity. The large LED screen on the scene almost recorded the entire process after James left the court.

He had no response to Spoelstra's encouragement and continued to walk to the bench and sit down like a puppet. He stood there with empty eyes for a while, then sat down mechanically, shook his head, then took a towel to cover his head and lowered his head.

The old king, who was nearly thirty years old, had entered his twilight years.
