The Lakers arrived in Chicago the day before the game and then trained at the United Center's practice facility that day.

The team members all looked unhappy.

Although Yao Ming's absence is great news for the Lakers, they are not happy about the situation of being 2-3 behind.

Especially Kobe, the guy who didn't even open champagne in advance when he was 3-0 ahead of the Magic, his expression was more serious than ever.

Because no matter what, the Bulls got the match point after winning the decisive battle.

But there was one person who caught people's attention.

Or to be more precise, a person's hairstyle is very eye-catching.

Bynum dyed his short hair and dyed the number 16 green.

16 is a special number for the Lakers because it represents the number of championships they have won in the past.

Obviously, he is using this method to motivate the whole team.

Soon the game day arrived, and Bynum's hairstyle successfully attracted the attention of photographers.

When Xu Yong looked up and saw the large LED screen, he couldn't help but smile.

He understands the principle, but why is it green?

It’s not that the color green makes people panic, but green is very special to the Lakers.

Because that is the main color of the Celtics, and the Celtics are the Lakers' mortal enemy.

It's just like James actually knelt on the ground because of a penalty issue before joining the Lakers, but the only time he knelt on the ground in the Celtics' home court after he joined the Lakers could be called a "shocking kneeling".

But on second thought he understood.

Bynum is a person who doesn't worry too much when doing things. He is the youngest player in NBA history, having entered the league at the age of 17. His mental state has always been not very good.

Moreover, this guy was also a guy who liked the Shamatte hairstyle in history, and his season was over because of bowling.

"His hairstyle is so ugly." At this moment, Butler next to Xu Yong couldn't help but complain.

Black with green, the tone of burying love.

Xu Yong couldn't help but turn his head and look at Butler.

Others can complain, but how can you, a guy who loves to have all kinds of weird hairstyles on media days, do this?

Oh, you're just in the first grade, that's okay.

At this moment, cheers broke out at the scene.

Jordan arrived late.

This is his second time appearing at the United Center this year, and he is paying special attention to this year's finals.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

Lakers: Paul, Kobe, Ariza, Dio, Bynum;

Bulls: Hinrich, Allen, Xu Yong, Battier, O'Neal Jr.

Except for O'Neal Jr. replacing the injured Yao Ming, both sides used the starting lineup from the previous game.

The game started quickly and the Lakers quickly gained the upper hand.

In the last game, the Bulls were able to have an advantage at the beginning because of the joint efforts of Xu Yong and Yao Ming. Now without Yao Ming, the Bulls are struggling.

About seven minutes into the quarter, the score was 12 to 4.

The Bulls' defense was good, but Xu Yong's performance was limited when he was double-teamed, and their offense had problems.

Because Allen has no offense, in a 5-on-4 situation, the difficulty of defensive rotation against a strong offensive point is much easier than the previous two points.

Thibodeau was forced to call a timeout.

Jordan's eyes were moving at this time, and he recalled the past.

Before Pippen grew up, he tried to take on everything by himself and averaged 37.1 points per game, and he also tried to play with the ball as the core and averaged 32.5+8+8 per game, but he failed without exception.

Basketball is ultimately a team sport. It is very difficult to win if there is no one to help you share the pressure.

At this time, on the commentary side, Barkley lowered his head and took out the bowl that had been prepared long ago from under the table.

The moment the bowl was taken out, Smith next door burst into laughter.

"Shaq, this is a bowl I bought specially in Chinatown. According to the person who sold it to me, it is from the late Ming Dynasty. I think using it to hold cow dung is absolutely worthy of your historical status."

And when Barkley said this, the entire live broadcast effect exploded.

O'Neal smiled and shook his head, then looked at the bowl with interest, as if he knew how to appraise treasures.

After the timeout, the Bulls made personnel adjustments.

Artest and Yi Jianlian came on the court, replacing Allen and O'Neal Jr.

Yi Jianlian did not get many playing opportunities in the games before the finals, and Thibodeau's adjustment was very risky, especially since Bynum was still on the court at this time.

However, he was willing to sacrifice defense to improve offense. It can be seen that the passivity at the beginning did make him a little anxious.

First round back from the break.

Xu Yong held the ball outside the three-point line, and his offensive space was much better than at the beginning of the game.

Hinrich, Artest, Battier, Yi Jianlian, all of them are accurate three-point shooters this season.

Seeing that the Lakers did not double-team him immediately, Xu Yong seized the opportunity to go straight to the inside, passed Ariza and easily scored a layup.

There was a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Putting aside the defense, this lineup is truly full of stars and the space is fully utilized.

However, this lineup is more about their defense, especially their interior defense.

The Lakers obviously knew this. After Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately signaled to move away and then fed the ball to Bynum under the basket.

Bynum has low-post offensive capabilities. His hook shots, mid-range shots, high jump shots, and some but not many low-post footwork allowed him to average 17 or 18 points per game in his peak season.

He can't beat Yao Ming, but he still has a huge advantage against Yi Jianlian.

After all, he has the body of a proper center, and Yi Jianlian's limit is that he can barely match a power forward like Gasol.

Theoretically, it is basically impossible for him to defend Bynum without help defense.

This was indeed the case. The Bulls did not provide help in defense, and Bynum made a strong shot. After two shots, he went to the basket and stood up to dunk.

Yi Jianlian directly fouled him and pulled him down, then sent Bynum to the free throw line.

This was obviously Thibodeau's arrangement.

There were bursts of interference noises at the scene, and no one knew which clever kid started it, but sparse shouts of "Boston" were heard at the scene.

Especially during the second free throw, the uniform shouts were so loud that if you didn’t know, you would have thought they were shouting MVP.

In the end, Bynum paid the price for dyeing his hair as he missed two free throws amid the noise.

Yi Jianlian's foul was worth the maximum.

Brown shook his head speechlessly on the sidelines.

The Lakers are under a lot of pressure on the defensive end now, and wasting opportunities is giving the Bulls opportunities.

"Go! Bulls!"

The fans at the scene also felt that the opportunity had come and began to cheer for the home team in unison.

Xu Yong faced Ariza with the ball again. He observed the Lakers' defensive position before attacking.

He was positioned inside, and Ariza was closely defending him, which made it clear that he was preparing to double-team him.

He used triple threat to clear out the offensive space, then suddenly accelerated past Ariza.

However, just as he rushed into the three-second zone, he found that the Lakers' retreat was not thorough enough. Only Dio reached the basket in advance and was ready to return to defense at any time.

There is no way, the Bulls' lineup has too much space.

Seeing this, Xu Yong's choice was to hold his breath and jump directly, then exert force in the air through Dio.

“Bang!”

Although Dio had weight, he was unable to focus on one thing while neglecting another and was directly pushed out of the baseline.

When the ball went into the basket, the United Center was in an uproar.

Thibodeau's adjustments worked wonders!

The camera turned to Thibodeau, who turned and looked at Malone.

He actually doesn't know much about offense, so he still has to rely on Zhuge Ma Long in this regard.

But looking back, Paul showed his organizational talent. He called on Bynum to come out for a pick-and-roll, then quickly passed Yi Jianlian and made a layup in the paint.

The advantage of the inside line does not simply refer to the strength of low-post confrontation, rim protection and defensive area, awareness, these are all aspects.

And after Battier missed a three-pointer, Paul did the same thing, only this time he passed the ball to Bynum, who scored with a two-handed dunk.

16 to 8.

The Lakers still firmly hold the lead.

Thibodeau's adjustments worked, but the Lakers' lineup advantage is obvious.

Xu Yong holds the ball again in the frontcourt.

After Battier missed that three-pointer, the Lakers' intention to retreat became more obvious.

In a space lineup, if the outside players can't make the shot, then this space doesn't really mean much.

He now faces a choice: whether to use mid-range offensive means to complete the shot before being double-teamed, or to continue to trust his teammates.

Ariza's defense was pressing, and Xu Yong made a choice.

After confronting Ariza with his back to the basket, he turned and headed for the basket.

When the Lakers' double-team came, he seized the opportunity to continue passing the ball.

This time it was Artest who received the ball from the outside.

He chose to trust his teammates!

Artest caught the ball and shot quickly.

“Swish!”

At the critical moment, Artest stood up!

It's not just this three-pointer.

After retreating to the defensive end, he successfully assisted in the defense and intercepted Paul's pass to Bynum, and then received a pass from Xu Yong in a fast break and made a layup.

There were cheers from Chicago fans at the scene.

Ever since being put on the bench by Thibodeau in the decisive battle, Artest has been completely activated!

It was a priceless 5-pointer that helped the Bulls keep the score close.

Jordan's expression was slightly complicated at this time.

This rookie, who broke his ribs with his elbow in training camp, has stepped up at the right time after returning to the Bulls.

If he can continue to provide support to Xu Yong, the Bulls will not be completely without a chance tonight.

After all, a series is a test of hard power, but a single game depends more on performance.

Just as Jordan was thinking, Artest tried his best on the defensive end to block Kobe's back-to-back shot.

After his physical fitness declined, Kobe preferred to use post-up singles to complete his offense, and defending post-up shots happened to be what Artest was good at.

Xu Yong also attacked boldly at this time, breaking into the inside and scoring 2+1 on Ariza.

With his free throw, the Bulls went on an 8-0 run and tied the score!

Now it was Brown's turn to call a timeout.

It was at this moment that O'Neal pushed the bowl in front of Barkley.

Barkley: “Your bowl.”

O'Neill: "No, it's your bowl."

"It will be difficult for them to maintain this performance throughout the game." After Barkley took the bowl reluctantly, he once again made a conclusion about the situation of the game.

Then, the Bulls maintained their performance on both offense and defense throughout the game, or more accurately, in the first three quarters.

This caused many Lakers fans to yell at Barkley to shut up on social media.

Then, someone shouted at Barkley to unbutton his suit to see if he was still wearing the classic red Bulls jersey from last time.

However, in the fourth quarter, the situation of the game turned to the Lakers.

The Bulls' physical strength began to fail.

Because the Bulls only have that one lineup that works on the court, and Allen cannot play because he is targeted, the Bulls' rotation is further compressed.

Hinrich, Xu Yong and Artest never left the court after that.

More than five minutes into the fourth quarter, the score was 85 to 75, and the Lakers had expanded their lead to double digits.

Thibodeau called a timeout to give the main players a short rest.

"They tried their best." On the commentary side, Barkley stopped joking and gave a serious evaluation.

Of course, he tried his best.

In the current situation, the Bulls are out of ammunition and can no longer find a way to turn the situation around.

Thibodeau was also calmly arranging tactics on the bench.

His players did a great job tonight and there is nothing to blame them for.

Jordan also stood up and left the stadium at this time.

He didn't want to waste time on a game that was already beyond suspense.

Even though he is leaving now, he still has the interest to continue watching the seventh game.

After the break, the game continues.

Xu Yong turned around and saw that the seat in front of Jordan was empty.

"You've done enough." Just after he came on the court, Kobe, who had switched to face him, spoke.

Xu Yong has scored 37 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists tonight. Basically every attack of the Bulls was initiated by him. As an opponent, this evaluation is very high and pertinent.

Xu Yong stood there in a daze, as if something had hit his chest, and his breathing quickened.

No one thought they could win anymore, and they had already tried their best.

So, give up?

No, that's not his character.

Even if the whole world thinks they have lost, he cannot admit defeat!

When people are hungry, they will instinctively look for food.

However, when a person is too hungry, the human body will automatically break down glycogen and protein to replenish energy. This is an instinct of the body.

Xu Yong's instinct is the self-confidence that is engraved in his bones.

The words Yao Ming had said before immediately emerged in his mind.

“Do more.”

Artest has scored 17 points tonight and Yi Jianlian has made 2 three-pointers.

His teammates have done well enough, what is needed now is for him to do more.

He felt he could do more!

A desire burst out from deep within him.

"Buzz~"

It was like something was flowing through his body.

He didn't know what was happening, but at this moment he just felt that his whole body was full of energy again.

He reached for the ball, then couldn't wait to break through Ariza.

Ariza, his reaction suddenly became very slow.

It wasn't just Ariza, everyone around him seemed to be moving slower.

The Lakers players had clearly retreated in advance, but he felt that he had every chance to complete the shot.

"Bang!"

In the fans' view, Xu Yong used a quick first step to get past Ariza's defense, then found a gap in the three-person encirclement and successfully scored on the rebound.

The difficulty level of this ball is maxed out.

But Xu Yong's expression looked extremely relaxed.

It was as if he had just completed a very simple attack.

This is really so pretentious and feels so good!

The atmosphere at the scene, which had originally fallen to the bottom, suddenly picked up.

"Defend! Defend!"

The cheers once again resounded throughout the United Center.

Xu Yong was indeed very relaxed, very relaxed.

And that feeling continues.

When he retreated to the defensive end, he watched Paul and Bynum drive to the basket after the pick-and-roll.

When their physical strength has reached its limit, cheers and willpower cannot improve the reaction speed of other Bulls players.

But Xu Yong felt that his reaction speed was faster than ever.

The moment Paul jumped and shot hit the backboard, he felt it on time and then faced the basketball flying towards the backboard.

"Bang!"

Directly completed the nail board cap!

Then, he had time to grab the defensive rebound!

"Incredible!" Barkley couldn't help but exclaim.

Xu Yong worked hard all night and still had this kind of energy.

However, what was even more incredible was yet to come.

After grabbing the rebound and finding someone rushing towards him, Xu Yong passed the ball to Artest next to him, then passed the defender without the ball and rushed out of the three-point line almost in an instant.

His movements were so fast, and every move was done at the right point.

This made everyone else on the court look as if they were slowed down, including Artest who got the ball.

After Xu Yong rushed out of the three-point line, he reacted and then threw a long pass.

Then, the pass went astray and went straight out of bounds.

There was an uproar at the scene. It was such a pity to pass the ball.

But Xu Yong did not stop because he felt he could catch up.

When the ball finally bounced out of bounds, he jumped up and pushed the ball back in the air outside bounds!

Then the next second after landing, he quickly jumped into bounds and regained control of the basketball.

The moment he got the basketball, he was extremely excited.

Yes, he felt he could do it all!

While he was saving the ball, Kobe had already chased him from the backcourt, but he remained calm and continued his fast break.

After rushing to the frontcourt, he faced Kobe's pursuit and made a fake shot to shake Kobe off, then took three slow steps to reverse layup and steadily put the ball into the basket.

Kobe was stunned after landing.

That feeling of déjà vu, as if everything is one step ahead of others.

Later he realized that Xu Yong had entered that state.

Zone, a state that Jordan once asserted would take Xu Yong two years to get into, and Xu Yong finally got into it!

But how is this possible?

It was already the fourth quarter of the game, and Xu Yong had been playing for so long that his physical strength had already reached its limit.

In the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant backed up and used his beautiful footwork to shake off Artest.

But just after he jumped up and made the move, Xu Yong suddenly appeared from nowhere and put his hand across his shooting path, making it impossible to avoid it.

He could only rely on his strong waist and abdominal strength to twist his body in the air and pull the lever to complete a difficult second shot.

But Xu Yong actually used his left hand to provide a second interference!

In the end, although the ball was not blocked, it was directly blocked.

And looking back, Xu Yong made a fake breakthrough move with a falling step, and then directly faced Ariza and hit a three-pointer!

“Huh~”

Xu Yong took a long breath and suddenly felt as if he had experienced the same feeling as Nowitzki did last year.

Crazy, the fans feel like they are going crazy.

Xu Yong has gone crazy in this section!

…

Jordan arrived at the parking lot and was about to drive away when his cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Barkley.

"Michael, where are you? Xu is going crazy! The Bulls are almost catching up!"

Jordan was stunned.

He looked at the text message and confirmed that it was just sent.

Can Xu Yong still lead the team to catch up?

Out of curiosity, he got up, got out of the car again, and rushed to the stadium.

When he entered the stadium, he looked up at the score on the big LED screen.

87 to 85, the Bulls have narrowed the gap to 2 points in just five minutes?

There were about two minutes left in the game, and the Bulls had a good chance of winning.

Then, he walked towards the audience seats while looking at the field.

"Reinforce the defense! Reinforce the defense!"

Brown was dancing and shouting anxiously on the sidelines.

But Xu Yong easily dribbled past Ariza and Dio who was helping defend him, then used a somersault and a close-range pull-up shot to dodge Bynum's block and put the ball into the basket.

The Bulls launched a 12-2 attack wave to tie the score!

And out of the 12 points scored by the Bulls, 10 came from Xu Yong.

Xu Yong entered the Zone?

His reaction at this time was the same as Kobe's, and he was even more surprised.

Because apart from the issue of physical fitness, Xu Yong's technical level is probably not yet capable of touching the Zone.

"beep!"

At this time, a short whistle sounded on the sidelines and the Lakers called a timeout.

Jordan's thoughts returned to reality, and he walked back to his seat and sat down, as if he had just gone to take a shower.

After the break, the game continues.

Kobe attracted Xu Yong's defensive attention on the strong side, and then Paul and Bynum cooperated on the weak side. Paul used his best mid-range jump shot to break the scoring drought for the Lakers.

But looking back, it was Xu Yong again who easily broke into the inside and made a layup that just went over Bynum's defense and hit the backboard.

Bynum threw his hands up in frustration.

Because the Lakers have more rotation players, their physical fitness is actually pretty good, and the quality of their defense has not actually declined much. However, Xu Yong always manages to score the ball under the limits of their defense, and he looks very relaxed, which really hits their defensive confidence!

Brown felt his throat burning and helpless at the same time.

He had tried every way he could think of, but he just couldn't stop Xu Yong from putting the ball into the basket!

Jordan was now certain that Xu Yong had definitely entered the Zone.

Although he didn't quite understand it, he accepted this reality.

Because Zone itself is a state that cannot be explained by reality, his previous definitions were just his personal understanding.

In other words, Jordan had played basketball his entire life, but on that night, he saw something that even he couldn't explain.

And the key point is that the time in Xu Yong's zone seems to be so long.

If he had to explain, the only possibility was that Xu Yongping's training was beyond imagination.

Because Zone is a state in which the body transcends instinctive reactions after hard training.

But that is impossible. If the training exceeds a certain limit, the person will definitely be ruined.

Xu Yong was unstoppable, but the Lakers also played very smartly after returning from the timeout.

They have two super backcourt players, one on each side.

Just like in the previous round, attract Xu Yong to the strong side, then move from the strong side to the weak side, and let the person on the weak side complete the attack.

No matter how fast Xu Yong's reaction was, it was impossible for him to move quickly from one side of the half court to the other.

With 20 seconds left in the game, Xu Yong broke through, glided in the air to avoid the defense, and shot the ball into the basket with a pull-up shot.

This was his 14th point in this quarter.

93 to 91.

After being behind for the entire night, the Bulls finally took the lead with 20 seconds left in the game!

Great individual performance.

The Lakers called another timeout.

"Defense! Do the best defense you can, defend this round, and we will be the champions!"

Thibodeau was also very excited at this time. The Bulls reversed and overtook the opponent, playing a game that will go down in history.

As long as they defend the last round.

After the timeout, the Lakers still stuck to their previous strategy.

The Bulls played their best defense, but Kobe successfully got rid of Xu Yong with consecutive pick-and-rolls, and then after switching from the strong side to the weak side, he quickly launched an attack on Artest on the weak side.

Back to the basket, fake turn, turn around and break through, and quick stop jump shot.

Kobe did not compete with Artest this time, but used a very flexible style of play.

However, Artest defended the ball very well, and jumped up with all his strength to cause great interference to Kobe in the air.

At this point, Kobe's physical strength had actually reached its limit.

In order to avoid the block, Kobe leaned back a lot, which made his final shot draw an extremely high parabola.

This ball is extremely difficult.

The ball began to fall rapidly from the highest point, and the fans at the scene widened their eyes.

“Swish!”

The basketball fell straight into the net!

Kobe hit the tying shot!

Artest shook his head, looking a little annoyed. If he had defended this ball, the game would have been over.

After scoring the goal, Kobe looked calm and immediately turned around to direct his teammates to retreat.

At this time, there are only 7 seconds left before the end of the game.

There were still 7 seconds left, but it was enough for Xu Yong to complete the final buzzer-beater.

Thibodeau called the final timeout.

Because the score is tied, the current situation is obviously more favorable for the Bulls who have the last attack.

Especially when Xu Yong was in such a hot form in the last quarter.

However, when Xu Yong was walking off the stage, he suddenly felt a huge sense of fatigue sweeping over him, and his legs even went weak for a moment.

He reached out to support Artest, then sat back on the bench, lowered his head and took deep breaths.

He realized it later, but as he continued to score, he actually knew he had entered the Zone.

And just now, it was the signal that he had left the Zone state.

He didn't feel sorry because with this outburst, he had successfully helped the Bulls tie the score and even surpass it.

Moreover, more than seven minutes had passed since he entered the Zone.

This time is much longer than Kobe's before.

You can't expect everything to be perfect, and there's nothing to say about being able to achieve this.

"Are you okay?" Artest walked to Xu Yong and bent down to ask with concern.

Xu Yong looked up at Artest and stretched out his hand to signal him to pull him up.

After standing up, he put Artest's head on his shoulder and whispered something in his ear.

When Artest heard that, his eyes were filled with surprise.

When the two separated, he looked at Xu Yong, and after getting Xu Yong's affirmative look, he nodded.

After the timeout, the Bulls served the ball in the frontcourt.

The Lakers tried hard to prevent Xu Yong from catching the ball, but Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll allowed Xu Yong to finally catch the ball.

Xu Yong received the ball and made a breakthrough move towards Ariza in front of him. Ariza instinctively stepped back.

However, after forcing Ariza to retreat, Xu Yong did not break through immediately. He seemed to hesitate.

This instantly attracted the Lakers' defensive players on both sides, and Kobe and Paul quickly double-teamed them.

As long as they can defend Xu Yong, the Lakers can play overtime with the Bulls. Given Xu Yong's physical exhaustion, the Lakers will definitely have a greater chance of winning in overtime.

Xu Yong was retreating, which made Kobe and Paul more determined to attack.

There is not much time left.

However, just before being surrounded by three people, Xu Yong found the right angle and chose to pass the ball!

He threw the ball at a 45° angle to the right.

There, stood Artest.

Artest received the ball and got a huge open opportunity.

When Dio saw this, he quickly rushed over, but Artest passed the ball to Battier in the corner and forced him back.

Battier's three-pointer from the corner must not be missed.

At this time, there were only 2 seconds left in the game. After Artest stabilized the ball again, he aimed at the basket and completed the shot.

"You take the last shot. Don't worry, if you can't make it, I'll take care of them in overtime."

This is what Xu Yong whispered in his ear.

It had a strong fishy smell to it, but when it came from a player who scored 14 points in the final seven minutes, you knew it was a guarantee.

So Artest had no pressure after catching the ball.

All the fans at the scene held their breath and their hearts were pounding.

No one expected that Artest would take the shot on the Bulls' final attack.

In other words, they were not sure whether this was Thibodeau's tactical arrangement or they were just forced to this point.

But no matter what the situation is, their emotions are very tense now.

Although Artest has shot well from three-point range this season, he has never made a buzzer-beater in his entire career.

The basketball flew in the air and drew an arc.

The eyes of the players and fans all followed the movement of the basketball.

When the ball started to fall, the scene became agitated and fans stood up one after another.

Because the ball looks very straight.

"beep!"

The red light on the sidelines came on first.

“Swish!”

Then a crisp sound was heard.

Artest hit this three-pointer!

He defeated the Lakers!

It was a game that seemed completely impossible to win, but the Bulls won!

They have successfully defended their title!

"He did it! The Bulls are the champions, again!" The moment the ball went in, Barkley opened his suit again.

Sure enough, he was still wearing that red Bulls jersey underneath!

O'Neal on the side was dumbfounded. Barkley would rather eat cow dung for the Bulls!

Oh no, Barkley would rather eat cow dung for traffic.

This guy is so shameless, but he likes it!

As long as the Lakers don't win the championship, he and Kobe will have the same number of championships.

On the court, the Lakers players' eyes were full of disbelief.

Paul stared at the score in a daze. No one knew whether he was regretting his impulsiveness in G3.

Even Kobe was stunned.

Facing the Bulls with only Xu Yong in the lineup, they were leading by ten points in the last quarter, but were defeated by Artest, who had never made a buzzer beater before.

All of this combined made it hard for him to accept.

He was so close to his sixth championship, yet so far away.

The Bulls fans have already started to rush the court.

But at this moment, Xu Yong pulled Artest, who was the first one rushing towards him, and then collapsed directly in his arms.jpg.

He is really too tired.

The moment he came out of the Zone state, he found it difficult to even stand.

Although the conditions for his entry were somewhat different from what Jordan said, so that he did not realize that he had entered at first, when he came out, he felt that his whole body was hollowed out.

In the last two rounds, he stood on the court purely by willpower.

But now, he really couldn't hold on.

After feeling the weight of Xu Yong's entire body pressing down on him, Artest realized that Xu Yong's physical strength was exhausted. He simply hugged Xu Yong's body tightly and walked towards the bench.

Moreover, he realized later that Xu Yong's words about handling the overtime were just to make him feel at ease.

But this kind of thing is just like stealing chicken in Poker. People who are not mentally strong enough cannot say such words, and can say them with such certainty.

Xu Yong was helped to sit on the bench.

Then, an extremely rare scene in NBA history occurred. When the streamers were sprayed and the championship was decided, the Bulls, as the champions, did not go on the court to celebrate. Instead, they all gathered around Xu Yong.

51 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks!

This is the data sheet Xu Yong submitted in G6.

If Artest's 20 points made up for the points lost due to Yao Ming's absence, then Xu Yong played an epic game that will go down in NBA history.

The live camera quickly turned to the Bulls bench.

All the fans have stood up, including Jordan in the front row.

Then, they all raised their hands to applaud Xu Yong.

He deserves all the praise tonight.

Finally, after more than two minutes of rest, Xu Yong stood up from the bench.

The applause soon turned into cheers.

After recovering, Xu Yong also reached out and waved to the Chicago fans.

"Satan! Satan!"

The fans shouted in unison at the scene.

“Chicago doesn’t need God anymore because they already have Satan.”

This was the comment from fans on social media two years ago when Xu Yong scored the buzzer-beater against James to complete the black eight.

But at that time it was more of an exaggeration by the fans, because James played well in that game and even made a three-pointer that was almost a buzzer-beater.

God was clearly on the side of the Cavaliers, but Xu Yong happened to be nicknamed "Satan," so the rumor spread widely.

But tonight, Xu Yong confirmed this statement with a great performance.

Because Rose will be out for next season and Yao Ming's physical condition is expected to make it difficult for him to attend full attendance, it is difficult for Xu Yong to "transfer power" from Kobe. But after defeating the league's number one player, Kobe, in this way, one thing is certain: Chicago's future will be Satan's stage.

The players began to celebrate.

Butler was the most excited one at this time.

Xu Yong said he would win a championship this season, and then he really did, and in such a crazy way.

He watched the entire last quarter with his mouth open.

He was deeply shocked by the fact that Xu Yong could still burst out such great energy even though he was physically exhausted.

The second most excited person was Anderson.

He joined the Bulls halfway through the season, and at the last minute, and then won the championship. This experience was just like something out of a movie.

Yi Jianlian walked to Xu Yong with red eyes, and he, who was always introverted, took the initiative to hug Xu Yong tightly.

Although he didn't get a chance until the second half of the season, he got opportunities in the playoffs and even the finals, and he performed well, so he is basically certain to stay in the NBA.

And all this came from Xu Yong's help. It was not just a suggestion, but he also helped him find a trainer after giving the suggestion.

Xu Yong reached out and patted his shoulder: "If you stay, fight hard."

When he said staying, he didn't mean staying with the Bulls, but staying in the NBA.

Yi Jianlian has proved this season that he can be a 3D inside player, but will he always be a 3D inside player?

It’s hard to say, because even if his age was changed, the 28-year-old Yi Jianlian still has room for improvement.

At least it is not completely impossible to develop the ability to shoot under the basket or catch the ball.

Or maybe Yi Jianlian failed to stay with the Bulls and lost himself in a new team just like Brown before him.

Xu Yong didn’t know what Yi Jianlian’s future would be like, but at least Yi Jianlian had a new possibility.

And, of course, there's Delonte West.

This guy, who had been wandering around the league because of the Friend Mom Gate incident and who even others didn't know had psychological problems, completely vented his emotions at this moment and sat there crying.

He won the championship earlier than James, and he defeated James to win the championship!

All the troubles and worries seemed to be figured out at this moment.

Of course, old people like O'Neal Jr. and Hinrich laughed the happiest.

I thought I had no chance to win a championship in my career, but now I have two. Who could have thought?

"You don't want me to play." At this moment, Yao Ming and Artest came to Xu Yong and complained after celebrating.

"Don't worry, we will have plenty of time to play in a month." Xu Yong smiled and hugged Yao Ming.

After defending their title, their only goal this year is the London Olympics, which is something they have been thinking about since before the 2008 Olympics.

Four years have passed in a flash, and the big test is finally approaching.

Ross also came to Xu Yong at this time.

"Thank you for your hard work next season." He was also full of emotion at this time. Only after he was seriously injured did he realize how useful Xu Yong's advice was.

"I said, we'll wait for you to come back." Xu Yong's answer was as heartwarming as it was at the beginning.

This season's Rose is already compatible with him, and Rose's return is worth looking forward to.

At this time, the award ceremony stage had already begun to be set up.

Stern also came to the venue again.

He actually seems to be in a pretty good mood at the moment.

At the beginning of the season, he definitely didn't want the Bulls to defend the title this season, but with Rose's fall, his attitude changed to not minding the Bulls defending the title.

This can be seen from the relatively fair penalties in the finals.

Because without his help, the Bulls' chances of completing their dynasty are slim.

"Let us thank the Lakers for their wonderful performance and cheer for the Bulls, who won the 2011-2012 NBA championship!"

When the Bulls players changed into T-shirts and returned to the court, Stern announced with a smile that this result had already become a fact.

The Bulls completed two consecutive championships for the first time since the Jordan era, and also won their eighth NBA championship!
