Chapter 847
猛龙队赢下季后赛首轮的首场比赛，将系列赛的大比分改写为1:0。应雄上场39分钟，砍下40分11个篮板10个助攻5个抢断7个盖帽的疯狂数据。

A 40+ triple-double is not a rare thing for Xiong, but 7 blocks set a new high in a single game of his NBA career playoffs (6 before).

The Raptors lived up to expectations and won the series opener, giving their fans peace of mind.For a dynastic team that aims to win five consecutive championships, it is natural not to underestimate the enemy in the playoffs. You must know that almost all playoff teams want them out.

On April 4, the second game of the first round of the playoffs between the Raptors and the Bulls will continue at the Air Canada Center Arena.For the visiting team in this game, if they lose again, they will return to the home court with a score of 17:2, and the situation will become very unfavorable.

In this game, the Bulls did not change their lineup, and they are still the starting lineup from the previous game.Regarding their changes before the game, one is the lineup and the other is the strategy.

Since the starting lineup has not changed, the changes may lie in the rotation and offensive and defensive strategies.

The Bulls' offensive strategy has not changed much, and to be exact, there is not much room for change. The technical style of "three rejections" has been finalized, and it is almost impossible to change it in just one round of the series.

On the defensive end, the Bulls began to pinch Yingxiong.But they are not mindless flanking, but let the nearest player participate in the flanking, and the other players take turns.They interestingly emptied DeRozan's 3-pointer, but they resolutely refused to give Patterson a 3-pointer.

But the problem is that the Raptors don't only have Yingxiong as an offensive point.No matter how unstable DeRozan is, it is impossible for him to be abnormal every game.

In G2 of the series, DeRozan and Jeremy Lin of the Raptors showed their power and gave the Bulls a hard blow, making their pincer strategy ineffective.

In the end, the Raptors made another victory at home, rewriting the total score of the series to 2:0.

In two games at the Air Canada Center, the Raptors' advantage was clear.Even with the bonus of home court advantage, the Bulls have no chance of winning in the two games, which is indeed a morale-damaging thing.

But in the eyes of the outside world, it is very, very normal for the 8th Bulls in the East to lose the game at home to the Raptors, the 4 consecutive dynasty team.Originally, the probability of sweeping the predictions before the series was more than 50%.

On April 4, the Raptors VS Bulls series G21 will be moved to the Bulls' home court.For the Bulls, this game is a last stand. If they still want to "black eight", this game must be won.

In the eyes of the outside world, this game can also be said to be the game that the Bulls are most likely to win in this round of the series, and it is also a key battle for whether they can avoid being swept.

In this game, the Bulls once again ushered in a change!They removed the big center Robin Lopez who was targeted by the opponent in G1 and G2, and replaced Bobby Portis, a second-year student with fast movement and shooting ability, as the starting center.

So far in the series, the Bulls have ushered in a change for the first time. Although it is a little late, it also proves that they do not plan to catch it without a fight.

After the game started, Portis's presence injected youth and vitality into the Bulls' lifeless starting lineup.He is not as good as his teammate Robin Lopez in terms of wheel protection and low-post defense, but he is worse than the latter in terms of the movement of pick-and-roll defense, the speed of assist defense and the diversity of the offensive end, and he is more suitable for the current league.

Portis' defense against Ibaka is very effective, making it difficult for the opponent to get an easy shot.The Bulls took advantage of the strength of the home court as soon as they came up. The starting players played decisively and strongly, with a high shooting percentage, and quickly took the lead.

However, the Raptors are not stunned to enter the playoffs for the first time, and they will not be easily fooled by such a wave of offensive climax of the opponent.They are the dynasty teams that have won championships in the past 4 seasons, so they naturally have a strong side.

Soon, the Raptors called a timeout. After the timeout came back, they increased their defensive intensity.

Under the championship-level defense, the Bulls' offensive efficiency began to decline and turnovers began to increase.

The Raptors had a chance to counterattack. On the offensive end, they simplified the complexity and focused on local instigation. Relying on Yingxiong's super personal strength, they gradually eroded the opponent's lead.

As a result, at the end of the first quarter, the Raptors caught up with the score.

The Bulls are naturally unwilling to be reversed by the opponent in this way. They played very tenaciously, defended toughly, and did not hesitate to attack hand-to-hand.So from the beginning of the second quarter to the end of halftime, the two sides came and went, and the score was very anxious.

At the end of halftime, the two sides tied again!

In the critical third quarter of the game, Ying Xiong took over the game ahead of time and used unsolvable personal attacks to open the score.Then Jeremy Lin and DeRozan contributed wonderful offenses and opened the score in one fell swoop.

The Bulls have never given up, but the disparity in strength makes their efforts unable to change the situation.

In the end, the Raptors reversed their opponents away and rewritten the big score of the series to 3:0.

应雄本场比赛砍下42分21个篮板5个助攻3个抢断2个盖帽，完全成为了球队的攻防枢纽。21个篮板也是他NBA职业生涯季后赛的新高（之前是18个）。

After the game, TNT's Charles Barkley said that Ying Xiong became the shortest center in the game, but grabbed the most rebounds in the game!

For the Bulls, the big score in the playoffs is 0:3 behind, which basically declares that their journey this season is basically over.No one believed that they could reverse the dynastic team with 0 consecutive championships and set a new NBA record when they fell behind 3:4.

On April 4, the Raptors VS Bulls series G23 will continue at the Bulls' home court.This game is likely to be the last game of this round of the series.For the home team, it is basically impossible to win the series. Try to win this game and fight for honor.

But sometimes the ideal is full, and the reality is cruel.Even though the Bulls were extremely tenacious and did not give up, the huge gap in strength made it difficult for them to fill these with courage and perseverance.

In the end, the Raptors won G4 of the series, swept their opponents with a total score of 4:0, and advanced to the second round with their heads held high.

After the game, Ying Xiong and Dwyane Wade hugged and exchanged jerseys.

At the press conference, a reporter asked Ying Xiong what Wade said when he hugged him after the game.

Ying Xiong said with a smile: "He said he wanted me to treat him to dinner!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.
