no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 203 "Wear a Crown for Yourself"

At halftime, the score on the field was 43 to 52, and the Bulls ended the half with a 9-point lead.

Unlike the third meeting in the regular season, James' slump did not cause the Heat to collapse in the first half, because this time Wade was there.

Wade showed his fighting spirit, a stronger fighting spirit than last year.

Maybe he remembered what Xu Yong asked him during the All-Star Game, "Are you really short of a championship?"; or maybe he was playing with a revenge mentality this year after last year's defeat.

However, when the game entered the third quarter, the Heat were still pulled away, because Rose was in really good shape tonight.

Throughout the third quarter, Rose scored another 13 points in a single quarter, and already scored 38 points in the game!
You know, this is only the third quarter. This may be the most brilliant game Rose has played in his career.

After developing a certain amount of shooting, he is basically in a state of no solution when he is in hot form.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xu Yong, who had not rested in the first three quarters, rested off the court.

Rose was replaced by Thibodeau. This was his bonus time.

With Rose's current state, 40+ is a certainty, and he might have a chance to reach 50+.

Opportunities like this don't come around all the time.

The score came very quickly. As soon as the game started, Rose accelerated away from Cole and scored an easy layup, raising his score to 40 points.

When he landed, he staggered.

Xu Yong was originally enjoying Rose's performance, but this time his nerves became alert.

He stood up and walked towards Thibodeau, ready to suggest that Thibodeau replace Rose.

Achieving the 40-point goal is enough, but it won't be worthwhile if Rose is injured.

Thibodeau nodded after listening to Xu Yong's suggestion and replaced Rose with West.

"Are you okay?" Xu Yong asked concernedly as Ross sat down next to him.

Ross smiled and shook his head. Not only did he feel very good now, but he was also very excited.

Normal people would be in this state on a night like this in their career.

However, just after Rose left the game, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Bosh suddenly found his touch on the court. He led the team to quickly close the point difference to 12 points with a series of shots and steals.

Thibodeau turned around and called Xu Yong first. After observing the anxious situation on the court, he replaced all the main players of Rose and Yao Ming.

At this time, Xu Yong successfully defended a strong attack by Wade, protected the rebound, grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it to Rose on the outside.

Rose rushed against Chalmers' defense and reached the three-second zone in the frontcourt, changing direction without slowing down and passing Chalmers for a layup.

It was at this time that an accident happened.

After the change, Rose did not complete the layup, but lost his balance and fell directly off the baseline.

The accident happened so suddenly that even Chalmers didn't react, let alone the fans.

After Xu Yong passed the ball, he kept looking straight ahead. It can be said that he witnessed the whole process.

He trotted to the frontcourt, followed by the Bulls team doctor.

Xu Yong arrived at the frontcourt and saw Rose covering his knees with his hands and a very painful expression.

The team doctor tried to get him to bend his knees but was unable to do so.

Seeing this, Xu Yong's heart "thumped", something that shouldn't have come came anyway.

Although he had thankfully thought that Rose would be fine after passing the first round; even though he had reminded Thibodeau just now, all this could not be avoided.

He even asked Rose before, thinking that Rose would feel it himself, but in fact, people can't notice it at all when they are in an excited state.

Rose was eventually put on a stretcher because her knees couldn't bend.

The fans at the scene all held their heads in disbelief.

They didn't expect that on the night they were supposed to be celebrating, they would suddenly encounter such an accident, and it seemed so serious.

At this moment, the outcome of the game no longer seemed important.

"Come on, we'll wait for you to come back." Before the stretcher was pushed away, Xu Yong looked at Ross who had recovered and said.

Rose forced a smile and nodded.

It can be seen that his mentality is still very optimistic at the moment.

After watching the stretcher disappear into the player tunnel, Xu Yong took a long breath.

Rose seems to be in good spirits, and maybe things aren't as bad as he thought.

Rose's sudden injury and retirement were caught off guard, but under the leadership of Xu Yong and Yao Ming, the Bulls finally held on to the fruits of victory and got the series off to a good start.

However, after the game, the faces of the Bulls players did not show much happiness.

If Rose is seriously injured, this will be the biggest challenge the Bulls will face in defending their title this season.

Without the main point guard, let alone who they will play in the finals, there is a big question mark whether they can reach the finals.

However, Ross’s test results will not come out so quickly, so he may have to wait a little longer.

Xu Yong couldn't wait any longer. He called Ross's second brother Reggie and then drove to the hospital.

When he arrived, Ross had already entered the operating room, and outside the operating room, Ross's brothers were all there.

Seeing Xu Yong coming, Reggie came up to greet him.

"Teared cruciate ligament in knee."

After learning about Rose's injuries from Reggie's mouth, Xu Yong's last bit of luck was gone.

This is the same serious injury as in history. Not only will Rose be out for the season, but he will also miss the entire next season.

Although this ending was almost doomed due to Rose's disobedience, when the moment actually came, it was still unacceptable.

This is no longer just about the championship, but after getting along with Rose for more than three years, going through dark eights together, experiencing failures together, and then reaching the top together. This shy Windy City Rose is not only his teammate, He is also his friend.

"Everything will be fine, we will wait for him to come back." Xu Yongyong didn't know what to say and could only repeat to Reggie what he had said to Ross before.

Because the operation took a long time, Xu Yong did not stay in the hospital, but returned to the training hall to practice more.

At this time, he needs to vent his emotions through training.

This time he didn't call Butler, he was just training tirelessly alone in the gym.

When he finally practiced until he was exhausted, he found that Thibodeau had been sitting on the sidelines of the training hall without knowing it.

Only this time, he didn't hold anything in his hands, only a look of annoyance and regret on his face.

It was obvious that he was not here to discuss tactics at the moment.

Xu Yong walked to and sat down next to Thibodeau.

"I should have listened to your advice and shouldn't have put him on the court." As soon as he sat down, Thibodeau said.

Because of the adaptation of the tactical system, Thibodeau loves Rose very much. This point no longer needs to be emphasized.

"Tom, that's not your fault." Xu Yong said.

Different from putting Rose on the court at the last moment in history, Thibodeau took Rose's advice and replaced him in this game, but in the end the Heat caught up with the score and the main force had to play again.

In fact, even in history, Rose only played 37 minutes in the game when he was injured, which is not much time at all for the super giant.

You must know that even Wade, who only played more than 40 games in the regular season this season, averaged close to [-] minutes per game.

The playoffs are a stage for super giants. If super giants can't play more, or even play, what's the point of this super giant's existence?
To take a step back, if Thibodeau replaced Rose at the last moment of the game, wouldn't Rose be injured?
The answer, obviously, is no.

Because Rose didn't suddenly get seriously injured, the frequent injuries in the regular season have already been causing alarm.

In other words, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, the difference is just in this one or the next one.

"I advised him this season that the way he played was too harmful to the body, but..." Thibodeau sighed.

This statement made Xu Yong a little surprised, because in history, the statement about Thibodeau deposing Rose is the mainstream argument.

But if you think about it carefully, even if he doesn't have the vision of a reborn person and he persuaded Rose when he first came to the Bulls, with the frequent injuries this season, it is normal for Thibodeau to persuade Rose because of Thibodeau's love for Rose.

It's a pity that Rose still didn't listen. Although it's understandable, the trainers don't recommend that Yi Jianlian change his shooting method during the season. It's even more unrealistic for Rose to change his style of play during the season.

So when Rose decided not to listen to Xu Yong's advice and change his style of play three years ago, the final outcome was already doomed.

There was a sudden silence in the training hall.

When Thibodeau comes here, it may not only be Rose's injury, but also the future of the team.

Not just the current series, but next season, too.

The feeling that a bright future is suddenly covered by dark clouds can be very depressing.

"Tom, we will win." Xu Yong broke the silence.

Thibodeau turned his head and looked into Xu Yong's eyes.

Even in this situation, Xu Yong's eyes still showed that kind of perseverance and confidence.

"Derek's injury gives us another reason to win. We will win." Xu Yong repeated.

Although it is generally a bit pale to say such words after injuring the core backcourt, Xu Yong's words can always be trusted.

Thibodeau nodded, not out of blind trust, but during the period when Rose and Yao Ming could not play in the regular season this season, the team survived under the leadership of Xu Yong.

As long as Xu Yong is still here, he will definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties.

……

New York, a psychological counseling agency somewhere in Manhattan.

In one of the most private rooms of the institution, James sat on the sofa wearing a hood and sunglasses.

Opposite him sat a psychiatrist.

After G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, James came here under the introduction of Paul Rich.

According to Paul Fu’s introduction, he is a well-known and reliable doctor who has been practicing for more than 20 years and has never disclosed any client’s privacy.

The reason why James appears here is also very simple. After the G1 game, he was completely autistic.

Even though Rose was injured, he didn't feel any excitement at all.

"I met an opponent that I couldn't defeat. I tried all the methods and failed, but he was an opponent that I had to defeat. I didn't know what to do..."

James was telling it, and holding nothing back.

The reason why he is autistic, apart from being beaten by Xu Yong, is also because he thinks he is a king.

Kings are destined to be lonely. They cannot share all their emotions with others and can only endure them alone.

But in front of the doctor, he is no longer the aloof king, but a patient.

"Do you know that people can die?"

After listening to his story, the doctor asked him a question, which sounded a bit strange.

"Of course I know that everyone will die, and death is part of life." James replied mechanically.

The doctor shook his head, and then repeated: "What I mean is that people will really disappear from this world one day.

You have a dream, and when you wake up you will think about that dream, and even think about what would happen in the dream, but one day, all your achievements and all your worries will be there. It disappears in an instant and you don't even get a chance to think about it anymore because your thoughts disappear with you. "

James broke into a cold sweat after hearing this.

Most people don't think about such issues at all when they are alive, but when they really think about it, they will find that it is something that makes people's hair stand on end.

"Now do you think the troubles you are facing are still troubles?" the doctor then asked.

James shook his head.

Just like when you see the universe and feel that the earth is so small, when it comes to the topic of death, the troubles in front of you are indeed nothing.

So what if you can't beat it, so what if you can't defeat it, these are meaningless.

But if none of that makes sense, what else does?

"Albert Camus wrote a book called The Myth of Sisyphus."

Amid James' confusion, the doctor began a narrative.

"It tells about a man named Sisyphus. He pushed a huge boulder up a mountain every day. Then when the boulder reached the top of the mountain, the stone would roll down from the other end. He could only repeat this work because it was the gods. His punishment."

James was a little confused. For a high school student like him who only read the first page of books, what the doctor said was too much for him.

"That's our life. At every stage, we have to push a huge stone up the mountain, whether it's the life dilemma when we were young, or the learning dilemma during school, or the work dilemma after employment. Every stone is our I had to push it up the mountain.”

James still didn't quite understand what the doctor said.

"It's like the invincible opponent you said, it's that stone too."

But after the doctor added something after seeing his reaction, he seemed to understand.

Xu Yong's appearance is indeed a part that he cannot avoid.

"The gods thought they were punishing Sisyphus, but in fact when Sisyphus was pushing the boulder, he knew that the boulder would eventually roll down, so the result was not important to him, what was important was the process, the one who pushed the boulder. The process of pushing up the mountain.

He would listen to his breathing, experience the fatigue of pushing rocks, and even pay attention to the grass growing halfway up the mountain. His entire state was high-spirited and energetic, which made his existence seem like a mockery of the gods. , the gods would find that they could only punish Sisyphus' body, but his will never surrendered. "

James seemed to understand, but didn't seem to fully understand.

The doctor finally realized that he might need to express himself differently.

“If that opponent is destined to be invincible to you, then you don’t have to care about whether you can defeat him or not, what matters is the process of your confrontation with him.

They thought they were mocking you, but in fact could that mockery really hurt you?No, you are fighting, you are enjoying the process, and your persistence is the biggest mockery to them. "

James' eyes widened instantly, and he finally understood what the doctor said.

When he fights Xu Yong, he is pushing a boulder, and the gods are fans to him.

If he gives up and gets frustrated, fans will just feel like they've succeeded.

But on the contrary, if he keeps fighting, fans will find that maybe he was defeated on the field, but his will has never been defeated.

"What Camus wants to tell us is that there will be many stones that we have to push in our lives, and we cannot avoid them, but we must learn to fight. Since we must push that stone, it is better to find it before everything is over. That reason that keeps you going,” the doctor continued.

"But how do I find that reason?" James then asked.

“The person you want to be, the goal you most want to achieve, is your why.”

Hearing this, James understood. He stood up and shook hands with the doctor sincerely.

"You can use a specific way to strengthen your case." The doctor finally gave him a piece of advice.

James nodded vigorously after hearing this, then left the room with his head held high.

From this moment on, he could no longer be truly defeated.

……

Rose's injury was finally announced, and the league was shaken.

The youngest MVP suffered such a serious injury, which is not only a loss for the Bulls, but also a loss for the league.

Many stars, including the management of many teams, and even Stern sent their blessings one after another.

Rose's playing style is explosive. Although he cannot compare with Carter back then, his presence can increase the influence of this big cake in the NBA.

So whether it's from the perspective of the league or personal interests, they all feel sorry for Rose.

At this time, probably only the Heat are happy.

Because although the Bulls did not say how long Rose will be absent, one thing is for sure, he will definitely be reimbursed this season.

This means that in the next matchup in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls' strength on paper has shifted from an advantage to a disadvantage.

The Heat's confidence was quickly restored after being defeated in the first game. Although reversing the series due to an injury to the opponent sounds a bit unviable, the bamboo slips of history cannot contain so many details, and only the final winner will be recorded.

In G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the attendance at the United Center was still full.

Although Rose's absence is distressing, the game goes on and so does their support for the home team.

During the pre-game warm-up, in the footage of the players on the field, James seemed to have lost all the frustration from the previous game and was smiling the whole time.

After Rose was injured, there was such a polar reversal of emotions, which made the fans at the scene feel itchy.

When the warm-up was over, the lights dimmed and we were ready to enter the opening ceremony.

But what people didn't expect was that before that, a personal video of Ross in the hospital was shown on the LED screen.

The content of the video is mainly to encourage teammates to keep working hard.

"Although I can't step on the court, I am with you." Rose's final words lit up the United Center.

It can be seen that although he suffered a serious injury, his mentality has been adjusted very well, but it must be good, otherwise he would have faded out of the NBA after being injured in history.

Xu Yong reached out and hammered his chest.

Just like he said to Thibodeau last night, they have one more reason to win tonight.

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

The Heat's starting lineup was exactly the same as it was on the field, but for the Bulls, it was not Hinrich who took over as the starter after Rose's absence, but West.Thibodeau's move cannot be said to be similar, it is clearly a James mentality.

You must know that in the background of James' shocking kneeling in the regular season, West's appearance often made people comment on the likes of a father and a filial son.

James' breath hitched, but he soon started laughing again.

The Bulls played a series with the Celtics. They didn't learn anything else, but they learned the trick of changing the opponent's mentality quite quickly.

But he is no longer the same person as before. He cannot be defeated at this time, and he does not pay attention to such little tricks.

The game started soon. James changed his G1 style of play, holding the ball and playing pick-and-rolls, and then shooting after blocking.

"Shh!"

Just vote for it.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment.

Why has James changed again after not seeing each other for two days?

In fact, let alone him, Spoelstra on the Heat team is also quite confused.

James took leave yesterday and was absent from training this morning, so he didn't know the reason for James's state.

But this is good news for the Heat. Rose can't beat James and has regained his form. The Heat are finally expected to break through from the Eastern Conference.

Xu Yong broke through with the ball in the frontcourt and saw James helping to defend and then split West on the outside. Wade then switched to guard Artest. West received the ball and shot an open three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Knife up and down.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Hey, don't tell me. Although West doesn't have many opportunities this season, he will break out every time he plays against the Heat.

Although the incident was clarified by the media to be false, it was such a coincidence.

But James remained unmoved. Looking back, he hit Artest with a back in the high post, then turned around and made a sudden fadeaway jumper.

"when!"

The ball missed, but James turned around and grabbed the offensive rebound and then scored a layup.

He scored 4 points in the opening game.

At this time, the fans at the scene also came to their senses. This James must have been taken away from him.

Xu Yong narrowed his eyes at this time. No matter what the reason was, James played very confidently tonight.

After realizing this, his whole body became excited.

Winning or losing the game is important, but more important than winning or losing is the competition. That is the most attractive part of the basketball game.

This is like playing sports on the bed. You are completely uninterested when the opponent is lying like a dead fish, but if you are fiercely attacking and defending, you are Zhao Zilong, so why not kill him seven times in and seven out.

After waiting in the frontcourt, Xu Yong called Artest to play a pick-and-roll against James.

After James didn't rush to let Wade switch back, he confirmed that his judgment was correct.

Then, start the falling step, change direction and speed up without slowing down, rush into the inside and jump up the air lever to avoid James' chasing block and send the ball into the basket.

Xu Yong's one-stop action instantly ignited the arena.

James' confidence tonight was indeed inexplicable, but when it comes to confidence, Xu Yong is the one who has it engraved in his bones.

James continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt and beat Artest, and successfully broke through Artest and scored 2+1.

Confidence didn't help him guard Xu Yong, but it did make his offensive efficiency more efficient.

And after scoring the goal, and seeing the camera pointed at him, he made an action that surprised everyone.

He raised his hands above his head, made a hollow crown shape, and then put it on his head.gif.

Yes, the psychiatrist suggested that he find an action to strengthen his beliefs, and this was the action he chose.

Because as early as when he was playing basketball in his sophomore year of high school, he had a tattoo of "Chosen. 1" on his back.

From that moment on, he firmly believed that he would become a true king.

So there is nothing more suitable for him than this action.

Maybe he was afraid that others wouldn't see it clearly, so James did the wearing action several times in a row.

Now everyone can see this action clearly.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Although James has the nickname King, he basically does it for self-entertainment.

After all, this is the 21st century, and the feudal monarchy has long been abolished. Except for a very small number of extreme Zhanmi, who would be a citizen of a non-existent kingdom?
But forget it if you claim to be yourself, now you are even claiming to be one!
Since the shocking kneeling, the fans' understanding has been refreshed once again.

Fortunately, James is not No. 1 in the league, otherwise the entire NBA would become the laughing stock of others.

Xu Yong also looked surprised after seeing James' actions.

In his memory, there was a process for James to wear the crown. First, he wore the crown in the picture for Jordan and others to worship, and then he chose to perform this action at the ESPY annual awards ceremony.

And at that time, James had already joined the Lakers, and he relied on this thing to gain a sense of presence.

But now, so early?

Why is that?
Psychologist: Why don’t you have any ideas in your mind?
Xu Yong didn't think too much. Taking advantage of the free throw, he went to the sidelines and communicated with Thibodeau for a while.

Because Rose can't play, Thibodeau needs Xu Yong to do more on the offensive end tonight and does not arrange for him to face off against James on the defensive end.

After all, James' offensive desire was not high in the last game, so he could accept it even if he scored some points.

But now the situation is obviously different from what was expected, so he still has to switch to the opposite position.

Thibodeau nodded. Rose's absence means that others must do more, and Xu Yong's endurance and physical fitness have been tested in the regular season.

James' extra penalty missed and the rebound was protected by Yao Ming.

Xu Yong singled out Wade in the frontcourt, turned behind the baseline and hit the ball, helping the Bulls once again lead the score 7-6.

After the goal, he had already moved to James' side immediately.

He originally wanted to say, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight first," but then he thought about it. Whether this could be translated well was a question. Even if it could be translated well, James might not be able to understand it with his level of knowledge, so he finally asked directly with a smile. Said: "Did you just put a bucket on your head?"

James' blood pressure instantly exploded. It has to be said that while Xu Yong's skills have improved in the past three years after playing in the NBA, his level of trash talk has also skyrocketed.

It was just that Green's tragic situation flashed through his mind, and he snorted and turned his head away. He didn't have the same experience as Xu Yong.

But when he saw the person defending him in the frontcourt turned into Xu Yong, he reached out for the ball and directly broke through Xu Yong with the ball.

Xu Yong directly confronted him, and then saw the right moment and cut the ball away.

After stealing the ball, he quickly grabbed it and threw the ball to West in front.

West advanced to the frontcourt and threw the basket directly into the air.

After Xu Yong followed up and took off, he found that the ball was passed a little low. After catching the ball, he could only pull a lever in the air and then complete an alley-oop dunk.

Classic goals are often caused by mistakes.

This goal once again ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene.

I don’t know how many times Xu Yong stole James and then completed a dunk.

Then the classic scene comparable to the previous round [beating the shit out of Pierce] appeared.

After dunking, Xu Yong gestured to the camera like a crown. Of course, he didn't put it on his head, but threw it directly to the ground, and then followed up with his signature hand-opening celebration.

This meaning is quite obvious. To sum it up in one sentence: A king who wears his own crown, that’s it?
This time the United Center exploded.

Jordan was laughing so hard that he leaned back tactically.

Xu Yong’s character really makes people like him more and more!

James huffed and puffed for air.

Even though he already thought he could not be defeated, Xu Yong's disrespectful behavior really made him unbearable.

"He just wants to anger you." Fortunately, Wade appeared beside him in time.

James glanced at Wade, then nodded.

His struggle couldn't stop here, but he couldn't get over it all of a sudden, so Wade was given the opportunity to fight first.

Xu Yong returned to half court and found that James was no longer holding the ball, but Wade was holding the ball and preparing to play tactics with Bosh.

When he saw this, he said: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean anything against you just now, I just threw a bucket."

James:_(`‖∠)_
Please be yourself!
"If you don't like it, you can just pick it up and put it on again." Seeing that James still didn't respond, Xu Yong continued.

James: I haven’t had time to react yet!
"Give me the ball!" James didn't dare to be angry at Xu Yong, so he turned around and yelled at Wade.

Wade's expression changed drastically because he had just called tactics.

Then a terrible scene came. Wade did not give the ball to James this time, but continued to execute the tactics. In the end, he scored suddenly and assisted Bosh to score a mid-range jumper.

James was stunned. For a moment, he felt as if he had lost control of the Kingdom of Miami.

"It was an opportunity just now. You can control the next ball." Wade found James while retreating and said.

James' expression improved a little after hearing this.

It's just that his face looked just a little bit better, but it immediately turned ugly again.

Because Xu Yong actually asked Artest to pick and roll again, and then hit him by name.

You might not believe it if you tell me, but James, who was in the best defensive team, was actually used as a defensive breakthrough by Xu Yong.

This time James really couldn't bear it anymore.

Although the result is not important, the process is too painful.

This time he used all his strength to provide sufficient confrontation and interference.

His physical condition and confrontation, and his full-time defensive pressure are still very strong.

In particular, the referee will not call his actions at this time, and his defensive aggressiveness is also very high.

Faced with such a defense, Xu Yong did not panic. He now has full confidence in his offensive skills.

And more importantly, this was an expected scene, so he felt very calm inside.

The reason why he gets excited when he sees James being confident is not only competitive, but also because he wants to see James attack more.

Including the fact that he continued to trash talk James and tease James for this purpose.

Because in G1 Wade and Bosh actually showed very good competitive conditions, if we really let them play, it will be very difficult for the Bulls to play without Rose.

But James is different. James is limited by his technical level, and his efficiency in hitting tough shots is actually not high.

And this characteristic also determines that his effectiveness in organizing is better than attacking difficulties.

So irritating James and letting him take the lead is the most effective from a strategic perspective.

Dribbling the ball with his back to James, and then waiting for a sudden acceleration and turn fake move before turning around and breaking through, Xu Yong calmly shook off James and made an emergency stop jumper from 14 feet away.

But James was really trying his best now. After being thrown away, he caught up and jumped to block the shot.

"Snapped!"

"Shh!"

The crisp sounds of thugs and the sound of netting followed.

The referee's whistle finally sounded this time, calling James's thug foul.

James obviously misjudged the ball. Xu Yong is not a floor player like Pierce. It is impossible to cover him by taking off from behind.

This was obviously too much anger.

Xu Yong went to the free throw line and hit the extra free throw steadily, pushing the score to 12-8.

On the other hand, James, who was still giving himself psychological hints at the beginning, could no longer care about that at this time.

In fact, this is very normal. Have you ever seen a psychiatrist who treated you well after just one visit?

Every time a psychiatrist performs psychological treatment, it is equivalent to prescribing medication, which definitely requires a process.

Ever since, James completely fell into Xu Yong's trash talk trap tonight.

The Heat also played an extremely constipated game.

The score of the whole game was 80 to 86, and the Bulls made another victory.

The Bulls are without Rose, and Xu Yong's offensive and defensive efficiency is average. It is understandable that his score is low.

But the Heat's Big Three were all there, as well as high-quality substitutes like Odom, but they only scored 80 points.

The main reason for this is naturally James.

詹姆斯全场比赛28中9，三分5中0，怒打19铁，还出现了多达5次的失误。

Although the last look at the data, 24 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists were a near-triple-double, and he won the team's scoring, rebounding and assists titles.

But everyone who has watched the game knows that he will definitely not be able to escape tonight.

Xu Yong and Yao Ming attended the post-match press conference together.

Rose's absence, the 2-0 score, and of course James' self-imposed crown.

Compared with G1, this game is obviously more exciting and has more elements.

"What do you think of LeBron's celebration?" The question was from a local reporter in Chicago, who naturally would not miss such an opportunity.

"What do you mean?" Xu Yong said and made a crown gesture.

After getting a positive nod from the reporter, Xu Yong said with a smile: "I don't know what this celebration means."

Xu Yong did not answer directly, but pretended to be confused because James himself had not yet explained what he meant.

"I think I put the crown on myself." The reporter below was a ruthless person and directly picked up the microphone to explain.

This also caused some chuckles from other reporters. It is well known that James loves to post on social media and also likes to accompany pictures of the crown.

Xu Yong pondered for a moment, then said: "If that's the case, I suggest him to read the history books, because as far as I know, if a new king ascends the throne, it is usually worn by the previous king. In normal times, it is also worn by the previous king. The queen will do the work for you, not yourself."

After Xu Yong said this, the press conference burst into laughter.

There is a saying that goes well, the more people want something, the less they often get it.

What James wants most is the respect of others, but as he went to join the Heat, the number of people who respect him did not increase. On the contrary, more and more people wanted to see his jokes.

Especially this performance after joining the Heat. They swept last year and are already 0-2 this year.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, except for ESPN, which is bound to Nike's interests, these reporters can't wait to see the scene of the Heat breaking up.

That must be the happiest day in the basketball world, and also the day with the most abundant material for their coverage.

……

After returning to Miami, James met the previous psychiatrist again in his mansion.

This psychiatrist named Mike is very well-known in the industry. People who originally made appointments queued up in a long line, and all consultations were done sit-in and he would not go to the client's home for consultations.

The reason why I came to Miami this time was because James gave me too much.

James looked depressed again at this time.

Because G2 can be said to have made him feel the difference between imagination and reality.

He thought he could no longer be defeated, but he found that this process was still too cruel for him.

Especially when he was subjected to a whole night of trash talk from Xu Yong.

Mike naturally got more information from James during this consultation, so he did not use the same metaphors as before.

"I think you've succeeded."

His first words also stunned James.

"Although you still failed to defeat him, you finally won the data, didn't you?" Mike asked.

James nodded, but immediately shook his head: "But I didn't feel that I was high-spirited and active during the process."

Mike laughed: "That's where you need to keep working, because the process of pushing the boulder is painful, and it's your mindset that makes it not painful."

Seeing that James was still confused, Mike continued: "Let's take your goal as an example. You want to be a king, but what kind of king you become is not determined by the gods (fans), but by yourself. "

"Myself?"

"Yes, yourself, everything depends on yourself, you are the world, what do you care about most?"

"……data."

"Then, your goal is to become the king of data."

　If you think the improvement is good, please vote for the monthly vote. It is still a double period, so you can order it in full. Thank you everyone.
