Chapter 720 The Two MVPs of Level 08
However, this situation did not last long. As Jeremy Lin, DeRozan and others returned to normal, the rhythm of the game was gradually controlled by the Raptors, and they gradually grasped the score advantage.

Although Rose, Butler and others relied on their home court advantage to play tough and active, the offensive difference of this team has been formed for many years, and it is hard to recover. 5's two-time championship team, it is not easy to play a high-level offense.

Ying Xiong originally thought that if his teammates were unable to open the situation for a long time, he would open the hidden attribute in the second half and use the 5 formula.But the progress of the game was surprisingly favorable to his own side, and he slowly put this idea aside.

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Bulls in an away game. While ushering in two consecutive victories, they also rewritten the big score of the series to 2:1.

The Raptors regained their home court advantage, and in the 7-4 series, they were finally no longer overwhelmed.But they also know very well that the Bulls are not an easy opponent, but a difficult bone.

Ying Xiong scored 29+13+13+3+3 in the audience, showing the versatility of a super scorer.Under the flank of the opponent, he can still use his own way to help the team on both ends of the offense and defense, thus winning the game.

On May 5, the Raptors VS Bulls series G11 will continue at the Bulls' home court.This game, for the home team that has already lost two games in a row, cannot afford to lose.Once this game is lost again and they return to Toronto with a total score of 4:1 in the series, what awaits them is likely to be the end of the series.

No one wants to end the playoffs early, and no one wants to take a loss and start a vacation, but it is by no means an easy task to stay in the playoffs.

In G4 of the series, before the Bulls, it is still the question before the start of the series-whether to pinch Yingxiong?Even if they have Jimmy Butler in this position, the league's outside defensive gate, but facing the league's three consecutive MVPs in the regular season, it seems that nothing can be changed.

After the start of the game, the Bulls still let Jimmy Butler single-handedly defend from the outside. As long as Ying Xiong walked in with the ball, he would play a partial 2-1.The weak side is 1 defense 2, emptying DeRozan's 3 points and Amir Johnson's 3 points and mid-range.

But DeRozan's 3-pointers have improved a lot after two seasons of hard training.If you really let him play open, it's not like he can't get in.

In the first quarter of the game, DeRozan made 3 of 5 3-pointers and dealt a severe blow to the Bulls' defensive strategy.

The Bulls' defense is caught in a dilemma, and Ying Xiong's teammates have also grown. DeRozan and Jeremy Lin are also All-Star players this season, and they are not casually empty.

The Bulls fell behind and changed their defensive strategy in the second half, not daring to let go of the other Raptors players.

But in this way, the Bulls are tantamount to letting Yingxiong go one-on-one.

Ying Xiong didn't deliberately play one-on-one. He played very naturally and easily.But the state of the Raptors' players has come out, and the Bulls want to limit it, it's not easy.

There was not much suspense about the result of the game. The Raptors defeated the Bulls again in the away game, pulling 3 games in a row, and tied the big score of the series to 3:1.

From 0:1 to 3:1, the situation is completely different.At this time, not many people still think that the Bulls can turn defeat into victory and eliminate the Raptors.

Those so-called experts who made fun of the Raptors after the end of the series opener also disappeared immediately.At this time, whoever comes out to advocate that the Bulls can snipe the opponent will only attract everyone's siege.

On May 5th, the home of the Raptors in Toronto - the Air Canada Center Arena, ushered in the G13 game of the Raptors VS Bulls playoffs.

This game, for the Bulls, is likely to be their last game of the season.In the promotion prediction before the game, the probability of the home team advancing in this game is as high as 95%.Few people think that the visiting team still has hope of a comeback. If the home team's promotion probability does not reach 100%, then the remaining 5% is the expectation and respect for Derrick Rose.

The Bulls frantically pinched Ying Xiong from the very beginning of the game.Coach Thibodeau is determined, and would rather let the other players of the Raptors empty, but never let the three-time regular season MVP have the opportunity to take the ball one-on-one.

Ying Xiong is too threatening on the offensive end. If he is allowed to play one-on-one, he is capable of scoring 50 points on a defender of Jimmy Butler's level.What's even more frightening is that his performance has been very stable, and he rarely has abnormal moments.

Instead of restricting Yingxiong with Jimmy Butler under the bet, it is better to bet on the long-range shots of DeRozan and others.

The Raptors players returned to the home court, each in a brave state.The Bulls flanked Ying Xiong, which gave them a lot of good offensive opportunities.

The players of the Raptors seized the opportunity given to them by their opponents, took the initiative of the game from the very beginning, played higher and higher, and finally turned the game into an offensive performance for the home team.

The Bulls' defense has long been less tough than the first game of the series. The mentality imbalance caused their defensive strength and quality to plummet. In the end, the defense completely collapsed.

There was no suspense at the end of the game, and the home team ushered in a hearty victory.

Ying Xiong only scored 15 points in the game, not because he really couldn't attack in the opponent's flank, but because he didn't try to force a 1-on-2 pass to his hot-handed teammates.In the whole game, he scored 16 assists, setting a new high in his NBA playoff career (previously 15).

In the end, the Raptors easily defeated the Bulls at home, ushered in a 4-game winning streak, eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4:1, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the game was over, Ying Xiong approached Derrick Rose in a friendly manner, shook hands with the opponent in a gracious manner, and offered to exchange jerseys.

The two MVPs of the 08 session, at this moment, let people feel a sense of sympathy that is different from the outcome of the game.

In Ying Xiong's view, Rose's vigor is much less than before.Perhaps it was injuries and external factors that made this man more restrained and mature.He didn't feel too sad because of the loss of the series, but accepted this reality calmly, and also understood that it is difficult for him to lead the Bulls to compete with the mighty Raptors.

The opponent of the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals is the Cleveland Cavaliers led by the new Big Three.

In the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Eagles, the Cavaliers swept their opponents with a total score of 2:4 and advanced strongly to the Eastern Conference Finals.
