Wang Chong was able to score on Chandler primarily thanks to the badge he redeemed last summer, Master of Dunks. Wang Chong typically has few opportunities to use this badge that enhances his dunking ability, but he chose to spend points activating it because he knew very well that sometimes, dunks bring a morale boost and psychological shock stronger than regular shots.Now, it seems that the effect was indeed quite effective.
The Mavericks were clearly a bit confused by Wang Chong's powerful dunk in the opening game.
Wang Chong moved to the free-throw line and scored consistent free throws.
3:0.
The Mavericks had the ball. Barea dribbled the ball past half-court and passed it to Jason Terry, who accelerated and moved toward the paint.
Terry is nicknamed "The Jet" and is one of those smaller guards who is quite fast. Billups was beaten by the opponent before he could react, but Terry, rushing toward the paint, faced off against defender Gasol and tried to make an emergency shot. The attempt missed.
At the start of the game, the players were still warming up, and Wang Chong's shocking dunk had some effect.
When Garnett grabbed the defensive rebound, Wang Chong was already sprinting like an arrow.
Billups took the ball from Garnett, launched a long pass forward, and accurately passed it to Wang Chong.
Wang Chong's fast break was extremely fast. Although Marion was closely trailing Wang Chong, it was still very difficult for him.
Arriving just outside the three-point line, Wang Chong suddenly stopped, crouched down, and took the shot.
Marion rushed to defend immediately, but despite Marion's impressive wingspan at only 2.01 meters, it couldn't match Wang Chong's. The arm he extended to block Wang Chong was only slightly in his way. Wang Chong's shooting accuracy was not as compromised as it would have been without the compensating effect of his high-level shooting badge.
"Wow—!"
The basketball swished through the net.
6:0!
"Wow, Wang Chong is in full form from the very start of the game. It seems he's really eager to win this match."
The Mavericks and the Heat are completely different teams. Wang Chong had no intention of waiting and seeing what happened in the first half like he did against the Heat. Instead, he started exerting his force from the beginning.
To prevent the Mavericks from losing momentum, Wang Chong was determined to maximize his offensive points right away and completely defeat his opponents.
The Mavericks' defense is no slouch, especially with Marion in the forward position and Tyson Chandler as the center; the team's defensive strength is enough to rank in the top ten or even top five in the league.
But even so, they couldn't do anything to stop Wang Chong, who was fully armed with firepower.
In the next possession, Nowitzki, with Garnett on his back, used his signature move Golden Rooster Independence and nailed a mid-range shot. Finally, the Mavericks scored their first points of the game, 6:2.
But before Mavericks fans could even breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Chong responded. After cooperating with Curry on a pick-and-roll, Wang Chong moved toward the mid-range area and faced Marion for a jump shot.
Wang Chong's mid-range ability was even stronger than Nowitzki's. After all, most of the opponents Nowitzki faces are interior players near his height, and the space for shooting isn't ideal. Wang Chong, however, is different. With a height and wingspan not inferior to Nowitzki's, playing primarily as a small forward, Wang Chong faces opponents who are all forwards over 2 meters tall. His shooting space and environment are much better than Nowitzki's.
This time, there was no surprise in the mid-range shot—he nailed it firmly.
8:2.
Wang Chong's scoring efficiency from the start was so high that the Mavericks had to call a timeout to adjust their pace.
But how could a simple timeout disrupt Wang Chong's offensive rhythm?
After returning from the timeout, Wang Chong continued to run the Bulls' main offense. His extremely high scoring efficiency made the Mavericks feel miserable.
After battling through the first quarter, the two teams finished 32:21, with the Mavericks trailing by 11 points as they arrived in the away game.
Wang Chong hit 7 of 11 shots in just one quarter, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 18 points. His exaggerated scoring ability made life miserable for the Mavericks' defense.
After defending for 6 minutes, Shawn Marion started to tire and had to leave the game. Caron Butler came in as a substitute. Butler's defense wasn't as strong as Marion's, but the Mavericks had no choice but to force the game and try to use their backup defense.
Wang Chong, full of firepower in the first quarter, didn't slow down in the second quarter but continued as the Bulls' primary scoring threat.
Wang Chong's relentless bombing forced the Mavericks to double-team him in order to stop his scoring. Even so, Wang Chong still scored 12 points in the second quarter, reaching 30 points by halftime.
The consequence of the Mavericks doubling Wang Chong was that other Bulls players on the court had more and more opportunities to score, and the point difference between the two teams widened even further. By halftime, the score was 62:45, with a 17-point lead.
Third Quarter: The Bulls maintain control
The game entered the third quarter. With a large lead, Wang Chong was finally substituted out. The Mavericks took advantage of the opportunity and made a slight dent in the third quarter. But even without Wang Chong on the court, the Bulls' team strength was still impressive. The team, centered around Curry and Gasol, attacked both inside and outside and still managed to score.
As a result, the Mavericks fought hard in the third quarter, but they only reduced the deficit from 17 points to 11 points. The gap was still in double digits.
Entering the final quarter, Wang Chong returned to the court. Although there were still 12 minutes of play left, fans on both sides already knew that the outcome of the game was practically decided.
It was impossible for Wang Chong to let the Mavericks close an 11-point gap.
117:109 was the final score at the end of the game.
The 8-point difference wasn't too big nor too small, but it was enough to ensure the Bulls' consistent win.
Wang Chong, who had scored 30 points in the first half, didn't continue his exaggerated scoring style in the second half. He only scored 9 points in the final quarter. In total, he ended with 39 points, still the highest scorer of the game.
In this game, Curry scored 23 points for the Bulls. The Mavericks' outside defense wasn't strong. Both Jason Terry and José Barea are small guards, 1.8 meters tall, and not great defensively. The offensive focus on Wang Chong attracted the Mavericks' main defensive attention, and the defense of other external players naturally loosened.
It wasn't just Curry; bench player Marcus Thornton also scored 12 points. Along with Gasol, who contributed 14 points and 9 rebounds, the Bulls had four players with double-digit points.
For the Mavericks, Nowitzki made 9 of 18 shots and 10 of 11 free throws, scoring 28 points.
Terry added 21 points on 8 of 12 shooting. Chandler, Marion, and Barea also scored in double digits. A total of five players scored double digits, one more than the Bulls. Garnett scored 9 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, and Billups added 8 points and 6 assists. Although he didn't score in double digits, he was very close. Plus, Wang Chong outscored Nowitzki by 10 points, so it was only natural for the Bulls to win.
The result of the first game of the finals was completely in line with the expectations of the outside world regarding the outcome of this series.
The Mavericks have strength, or else they wouldn't have achieved a 57-win regular season. They defeated the Lakers in succession in the playoffs, then advanced to the finals after overcoming the Spurs and other strong opponents.
However, there is still a gap between strength and power. The Mavericks are very strong, but they can't do much against the Bulls, who have won three consecutive championships.
Two days later, Game 2 of the Finals began, and the Bulls won again, 102:94, bringing the series to 2-0.
The scoring in this game was lower than the first game. This was mainly because both teams' defensive efficiency improved after the first game.
Once again, the Mavericks lost due to Wang Chong.
In the second game, although Wang Chong didn't have the explosive 30-point first half performance, his points were more evenly distributed. As a result, Wang Chong scored double digits in all four quarters. He finished with 42 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, scoring as many individual points as half of the Mavericks' team.
And in this game, Nowitzki didn't score as effectively as in the previous match.
After suffering a loss in the first game, Garnett became more defensive in this game and didn't create many free throw opportunities for Nowitzki. The opponent hit 10 of 22 shots, scoring 24 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. It wasn't bad, but clearly, it wasn't enough to compete with Wang Chong.
After two games, the Bulls (2:0) are close to claiming their fourth consecutive championship.
However, the Mavericks, who later returned to their home court, still showed extremely tenacious resistance.
On June 5, in the third game of the Finals, the Mavericks mounted a comeback at home, winning 110:106, bringing the series score to 2:1.
On June 7, in the fourth game of the Finals, the Mavericks and Bulls, still on the Mavericks' home court, fought fiercely until overtime. In the end, thanks to Wang Chong's performance of scoring 9 points in overtime, the Mavericks lost 126:129, and the Bulls won the game with a 3:1 lead at match point.
On June 9, in the fifth game of the Finals, the Bulls, who had already secured match point, returned to their court. The championship was almost within reach, but the Mavericks stubbornly defeated the Bulls 114:107 on the road, closing the gap to 3:2.
This game marked the first home loss for the Bulls in this year's playoffs.
I must admit that, at least during the 2010-2011 season, the Dallas Mavericks were definitely a stronger team than the Miami Heat. Although the star quality was vastly different, whether it was the team's tacit understanding or the level of fighting spirit and tenacity in desperate situations, the two teams were completely incomparable.
Unfortunately, there was little the Mavericks could do.
On June 12, in Game 6 of the Finals, the Mavericks, filled with momentum at home, promised to win the game and force a final deciding game against the Bulls.
But Wang Chong didn't give the Mavericks this opportunity.
In the last few games, Wang Chong already knew the Mavericks' strategy to defend against him. After all, Marion's defensive ability near the end of his career was no longer enough.
In this game, Wang Chong hit 16 of 28 shots, 7 of 10 three-pointers, and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 50 points in the game.
This wasn't the first time Wang Chong had scored over 50 points in the Finals. Bulls fans had long since become accustomed to it.
But for the fans in the Mavericks' home arena, the constant sight of Wang Chong scoring seemed like a nightmare.
To prevent Wang Chong from scoring, the Mavericks tried every method, whether it was Marion's individual defense or collective team defense. Later, they even let Nowitzki, who is close to Wang Chong's size, try guarding him one-on-one. But the effect wasn't very good.
The Mavericks could only watch as Wang Chong scored again and again, completely shattering their dream of winning the championship. ——With a total score of 4:2, the Chicago Bulls defeated the Dallas Mavericks and won the championship trophy for the fourth consecutive year.
Wang Chong, who averaged 41 points per game in the 6 Finals games, was chosen as the FMVP without any suspense. This also elevated Wang Chong's personal honors to 5 championships, 4 MVPs, and 4 FMVPs.
If we look at the history of the league, there are very few players who can match this honor, and Jordan is the only one who can stabilize Wang Chong's achievements.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has 6 championships and 6 MVPs, but only 2 FMVPs, fewer than Wang Chong.
As for Bill Russell, although he has 11 championships and 5 MVPs, he has no FMVP, because at that time, the league hadn't created the FMVP award yet. It has been said before that Russell's historical status is inferior to Jordan's and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's. This reasoning also applies to Wang Chong.
With the Bulls winning four consecutive championships, the media began creating tables comparing honor gaps and countdowns for Wang Chong to surpass Jordan.
"By winning his fifth career championship, Wang Chong is still 1 championship, 1 MVP, and 2 FMVPs away from Jordan!"
"The current Wang Chong, at 26 years old, is getting closer and closer to Jordan, and has already surpassed him. At 26, Jordan was still striving for his first championship, but Wang Chong has already won six championships. It is completely unimaginable how many championships Wang Chong might win in the future, and it's not impossible to even surpass Bill Russell's 11 championships. We are all witnesses to the continuous rise of an unprecedented legendary player!"
"With the Bulls winning four consecutive championships, the league is bound to change. There may be more teams like the Heat's Big Three, because if you want to compete with Wang Chong, the strength of one or two stars is simply not enough. There must be more stars joining forces to be qualified to challenge Wang Chong."
"Now the question is: Can the Bulls, who have won four consecutive championships, continue to compete for five or even six consecutive championships? Where is their upper limit? Is there any team in the league that can stop the already invincible Chicago Bulls?"
This question has become a topic that the entire league is thinking about after the Finals.
No one wants to see the Bulls dominate the game and monopolize the championship.
Fortunately, with each passing year, the Bulls' lineup is getting older.
For the upcoming season, the two main players for the Bulls, Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups, will both be 35 years old, and their competitive status will continue to decline. Even Curry and Gasol, who represent the new generation, will also be 35 years old. Their level will still grow, but with the rising salary of the team and the eager eyes of other teams in the league, the path for the Bulls to continue defending their title will be difficult and full of obstacles.
No matter what happens, the Chicago Bulls and Wang Chong, who have won four consecutive championships, have become the great demons dominating the league and are considered a thorn in the side of the other 29 teams. Whether it's through trade deals or player renewals, they will be seriously hindered.
But this is a problem that every dynasty team has to face. Otherwise, after the Lakers' OK dynasty, no team in the league would be able to create three consecutive championship dynasties, even if they are as strong as the future Golden State Warriors. They only managed three championships in four years.
Now that the Bulls have achieved their first dynasty of four consecutive championships since the league merger, you can imagine the difficulties they are about to face.
