This made Ross so depressed that he vomited blood. In the previous few contests, he had been repeatedly defeated in front of Jiang Jun, as if the other party could always predict the enemy's chances.

In desperation, Ross immediately changed direction and broke through to the left. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jun also turned around in time to block his route from the left.

Ross had no choice but to hold back and dribble slowly and wait for the opportunity.

At the beginning of the first day of the season, when he was confronting Jiang Jun, when Ross saw Jiang Jun blocking him, he bullied Jiang Jun's thinness and tried to force him to eat, but in the end he found that Jiang Jun's strength was not inferior to him at all, and the stability of the lower plate was even more rare. So after he suffered a few losses, he no longer wanted to rely on brute force to eat the opponent alone.

Since the beginning of this season, I don’t know how many defenders with different styles have attempted to Jiang Jun, but no matter whether the opponent is tall or short, fast or slow, or large or small, Jiang Jun can easily deal with it, so that all the players facing each other can only do anything.

So no matter who the opponent is, the other members of the Bobcats are very relieved about Jiang Jun's single defense. Seeing that Ross was blocked by Jiang Jun, the other personnel took their place and were ready for the battle. Seeing that there was no way to break through, the others were also stared at him, so they had to defend hastily outside the three-point line. Unfortunately, the ball bounced out of the basket, and finally Thomas jumped high, grabbed the rebound, and immediately passed back to Jiang Jun.

Van Gundy exclaimed: "Thomas was originally the hope star of the Bulls, but unfortunately he was unable to play it later and was traded away. So Thomas never needs to mobilize the Bulls. Even when facing brutal players like Boozer and Noah, Thomas is brave enough to move forward."

Jiang Jun dribbled forward, and Ross was able to keep up with it very fast, but he did not dare to try to steal Jiang Jun. As it turned out, although Jiang Jun's dribbles seemed careless, almost no opponent could cut off Jiang Jun's dribbles.

When Jiang Jun saw Ross chasing him, and Yao Ming, who was in the inside, had already landed in the position, immediately hung the ball high to the inside.

Yao Ming leaned on Noah, and his huge body made Noah feel pressure.

After getting the ball, Yao Ming turned around and jumped. The ball was stable and accurate, and he got two points.

"A player with a figure like Yao Ming can shoot accurately, which is a nightmare for every opponent."

Mark Jackson said: "Yes. Yao's grasp of the shooting timing is more perfect than a few years ago. As long as his physical fitness is guaranteed, he will be an unstoppable weapon. This is all Jeff's credit."

Van Gundy smiled and said, "I dare not be greedy for merit. Long before Yao Ming entered the NBA, his height, shooting and consciousness were closely watched by scouts. After joining the Rockets, the Rockets' general manager Mr. Dawson and coach Tom Janovic both laid a deep foundation for him. What I taught him was just some defensive skills. However, Thibodeau knew Yao Ming very well, and he would definitely find a way to deal with Yao Ming."

Brin curled his lips and said, "Don't mention Thibodeau, everyone on earth knows that the best way to deal with Yao is to double-team and wait for him to make a mistake."

Ross got the ball and shook his head. He was very frustrated. In the three years he entered the league, his shooting, especially his long shots, has not made much progress. If a player like him who has extremely sharp breakthroughs and passes can have a decent shot, it is truly unsolvable.

However, although God closes a door and he will open a window for you, it is difficult for God to make a person beautiful.

So Old Brown had long been aware of Ross. He told Jiang Jun to deal with Ross and pay attention to making a move.

Of course, the league can keep up with Ross's footsteps and limit his breakthrough, only a few people.

Unfortunately, Jiang Jun is exactly one of these people, and he is the top one.

No one can predict the opponent's next move better than Jiang Jun. After all, martial arts masters like him are really rare.

So Ross still had no way to break through. At this time, his teammate Deng ran out to respond. Ross quickly passed the ball to Deng.

Speaking of which, the most advantageous match between the Bulls and the Bobcats is the small forward Deng.

Although Badinger has made quite a progress in the Bobcats, Deng is a player who scored 20 points per game after all, and his hands are long and his arms are long and his skills are very comprehensive. So Thibodeau just shouted off the court and asked Deng to come out to respond.

After Deng got the ball, Badinger held onto the ball. Deng saw that there was no room for passing the ball, so he had to luck with a few shots, pulled out the jump shot, and the ball missed again.

Yao Ming remained motionless and reached out to grab the falling ball. Noah jumped up and wanted to grab the rebound, but unfortunately he was blocked by Yao Ming's huge body.

Jiang Jun ran forward the moment Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, and Ross quickly went to guard the defense.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Jackson.

Jackson acted as the point guard and slowly dribbled forward, and Bogans also stepped forward to prevent it.

When Jiang Jun saw that there was no chance of a quick attack, he immediately came out to respond. Jackson immediately handed the ball to Jiang Jun.

At this time, Yao Ming and Thomas slowly landed.

Jiang Jun passed the ball to Yao Ming who was stuck in the position again.

As soon as Yao Ming got the ball, Boozer immediately stepped forward to double-team. Unexpectedly, Yao Ming raised the ball high. Seeing that Boozer and Yao Ming surrounded themselves into "sandwiches" and it was difficult to make moves and shoot, Yao Ming made a decision instantly.

He threw his hands and threw the basketball onto the basket. Thomas under the basket had already jumped high, grabbed the ball with both hands and dunked hard, and the two completed an air relay!

Thomas jumped down and ran to Yao Ming excitedly, celebrating with him.

Mark Jackson sighed: "Yao can shoot and pass now, and his ability to read games is really strong. He has made much fewer mistakes than when he was with the Rockets before."

Brin smiled and said, "Did you coaches and teammates prevent Yao Ming from realizing his potential?"

Van Gundy also sighed and said, "Oh, but to be honest, when I was with the Rockets, I always wanted to trade a good organizational guard, but unfortunately I didn't get what I wanted in the end. At that time, the Rockets' organizational guards were either too old, like Mark, or too young, or had mediocre qualifications. At that time, McGrady had been playing guest-playing tasks in the offensive, which also wasted his physical fitness and creativity, and Yao's power could not be exerted."

Brin said curiously: "Actually, I'm very curious. Why didn't you Rockets trade Prince with McGrady and the Pistons with Prince or roaring the Heavenly Lord Wallace and Billups? If two of these three people come, the Rockets' weaknesses will be all made up."

Van Gundy said: "McDy is a talented player, but sometimes his teammates may not keep up with his pace. To be honest, I am very optimistic about Chauncey. However, the team management hopes that Hamilton will be included in the deal, but the Pistons refuse, so the deal failed."

Mark Jackson said: "It's a pity that Yao Ming was at the peak of his state back then. After that, McGrady's condition declined sharply, and Yao Ming also began to be injured frequently. The Rockets' chances are getting slim, as if it's hard to even make the playoffs now. Perhaps this year is Yao's best chance to win the championship."

While the three of them were talking, the Bulls still missed the shot. The game lasted almost 5 minutes, but the Bulls did not score a single point and fell behind 0-12. Thibodeau had no choice but to call a timeout.

After the game started again, the Bulls made a breakthrough jump shot from Lore Deng. Ross was in no form under Jiang Jun's key defense. He lost all 7 shots in the first quarter, not scoring a single point, and only got one assist. Although Jiang Jun only took one shot and scored 3 points, he contributed 6 assists.

After successfully limiting the opponent's number one star, the Bobcats took a double-digit advantage at the end of the first quarter and led 28-16.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Brown Old asked Jiang Jun to continue playing because Ross was still on the court.

Because the Bulls are very dependent on Ross, and except for Jiang Jun, no one in the Bobcats can defend Ross better, so the old Brown's tactic was to go up, Jiang Jun would go up, Ross would go down, Jiang Jun would go down.

Ross could only continue to be depressed.

After playing 7 minutes in the second quarter, the Bobcats had already led by 16 points. Brown, the old man finally replaced Jiang Jun and let Augustine play.

Ross breathed a sigh of relief and finally scored for the first time. With 4 minutes and 59 seconds left in this quarter, the Bulls launched a fast break and Ross made a layup. Then the Bulls began to chase points. With 2 minutes and 55 seconds left in this quarter, Ross made a three-pointer and the Bulls scored 41-50. Korver also made a three-pointer thereafter, and only fell behind 50-58 at the end of the half.

Bobcats owner and former Bulls player Jordan sat in the audience behind the players' bench. He seemed calm, but he was in a mixed mood.

The Bulls are where Jordan became famous, but today, his Bobcats have to step on their old club to take the lead. There is no way, this is the case in the world, and there is no mercy.

Be kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself.

But the feelings are still there. Whenever the Bobcats play a good ball, Jordan no longer cheers loudly and applauds vigorously like other games, but clapps his hands gently. When the Bulls play a good ball, Jordan also nods gently. From his actions, he can see his complex feelings in his heart.

Jiang Jun rested for 5 minutes in the second quarter, and continued to play hard in the third quarter. He scored 8 points and 5 assists in the second quarter, and in the first half, he had a double-double record of 11 points and 11 assists.

When the Bulls were chasing points, Jiang Jun originally hoped to play, but Brown, the old man, has always been stubborn in using troops, and he did not let Jiang Jun go. In his opinion, he cannot only count on Jiang Jun, and other players should also have the ability to deal with difficult situations on their own.

The Bulls grabbed the jump ball in the first quarter, so the Bulls started serving in the first quarter and the fourth quarter, while the Bobcats served in the second and third quarters.

Thomas served from the bottom line, and Jiang Jun slowly dribbled forward. His performance today was only lukewarm compared to the past. He was more connected to the team and exerted his overall strength.

According to convention, Jiang Jun needs to pass the ball to the inside first. However, Thibodeau changed his tactics in time and used double-teams against Yao Ming. Thomas himself has average singles ability. If he receives the ball, Boozer or Noah can quickly make up for defense.

However, what Thibodeau felt helpless was that the Bobcats' outside attack power was actually better than the inside. Jiang Jun saw that the opportunity was rare, and immediately made a gesture to Thomas.

Thomas understood and ran out from the inside to cover Jiang Jun. When Jiang Jun saw that Thomas blocked Ross, he immediately dribbled and broke through to the inside.

Seeing that Jiang Jun was about to make a layup, Noah, who was going around to defend Yao Ming, had to abandon Yao Ming and run over to defend Jiang Jun. However, Jiang Jun directly regarded such a big man as a wooden stake, and easily got rid of it with a fake move, continued to go to the inside, and jumped up to make a layup.

Boozer had no choice but to abandon Yao Ming and came over to block the block. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jun immediately turned the realistic layup into a fake move. The ball was passed to Yao Ming at the basket like a magic trick.

When Boozer jumped up to block Jiang Jun, he heard a bang from his head, and the ball rolled down against his back.

"good!"

"The Bobcats will win!"

"Champion, champion"

The fans of the audience cheered excitedly.

It turned out that Yao Ming received a heavy deduction from Jiang Jun, and got two points. He once again widened the score between the two sides to 10 points.

Yao Ming was also secretly happy. In previous playoffs, he was very embarrassed every time he met Boozer, but this year, the mountains and rivers were not changing, so the two of them met again.

But now the ending is different. With Jiang Jun as his teammate, Yao Ming is also very good at dealing with any opponent he encounters.

Van Gundy praised: "Look, this is the role of an excellent organizational defender. He has made the team's strength bigger and become invincible!"

Brynn also nodded and said, "I really don't know how to train a talented player like Jiang. He is so young, but his skills are so experienced, which is amazing. Mark, how is he like you back then?"

Jackson smiled and said, "Don't make fun of me. He is several times stronger than when I was at my peak. He is a figure comparable to Magic Johnson and Flying Jordan. I can't compare with him. He became the ruler in his first year on the court."

Then the Bulls' offense fell into trouble again. They could only score with the cold arrows of Deng and Bogans.

The Bobcats' offense became smoother again. At the end of the third quarter, Brown replaced Jiang Jun, and the Bobcats were already 20 points ahead.

When Jiang Jun came to the scene, the audience shouted in unison: "mvp!mvp!"

According to Old Brown's habit, he usually lets Jiang Jun play 40 minutes in the playoffs. He took a 5-minute break in the first half and another 3 minutes in the third quarter. If the game is tense, he will let Jiang Jun play the fourth quarter.

But today's situation made Old Brown feel secretly happy. He was so much ahead, it seemed that the love general could have a little more rest.

However, these 3 minutes have changed suddenly. Perhaps because of the big score, the Bobcats suddenly became timid and could not play.

In a desperate match, Korver and Deng each made three-pointers, and Ross also broke through and made a layup to make 2 plus 1. By the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats' advantage was eroded to 10 points again.

Old Brown naturally roared again. Jiang Jun had to play in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Bulls saw hope and fought even harder.

Under the pressure of the opponent, the Bobcats began to miss the shots repeatedly. In this case, Jiang Jun used his invincible long shots and made three-pointers in succession. The Bulls players also made great moves against Jiang Jun.

However, the referee now benefits from the league and needs to be fair and just, so he calls all these fouls because Jiang Jun got a lot of free throw points again.

Although the Bulls tried their best to counterattack, Jiang Jun was like a decisive needle and a mainstay, firmly controlling the Bobcats' leading advantage.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Bulls 105-93 at home, winning the first victory in the second round of the playoffs.

Jiang Jun scored 5 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, and 18 points and 3 assists in the fourth quarter.

He scored 34 points and 18 assists in the game.
