James implied superb
Before this game, Pippen said in an interview, "Unless you win 6 championships, James will not be better than me." I don’t know what James thought, but as a Bulls celebrity, it seems a bit unwise to say these words before the Cavaliers VS Bulls. Mirotic, who has not lost since his comeback, also said that his buddy has not lost this season, so why can't he win the Cavaliers? Mirogo was as proud as Pippen. However, it is not a wise job to stimulate James before the game.
Markanen excelled as a superb
, but the Bulls did play well today. In the first half of the fourth quarter, they forced the Cavaliers to take the lead. But there was a James who could not do that, with one three-pointer and two assists, and then one back to death, and two free throws by the way to stabilize the victory.
The Bulls are probably wondering: they can beat the Bucks and the Celtics, but they just can't beat James. This season, the Cavaliers have killed the Bulls three times. The first game of the Cavaliers 119-112 Bulls; the second game of the Cavaliers 113-91 Bulls; Mr. Wei is still Mr. Wei.
Uncle Wei
After this game, the Cavaliers' record reached 24 wins and 9 losses. The Celtics lost today and suffered two consecutive losses, with a record of 26 wins and 9 losses. The difference between the two teams' winning games was nearly 1 game left. The East is closest. However, in terms of winning rate, the Raptors are now 22 wins and 8 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference and third in the Cavaliers. These three teams form the number one group in the East. Since the Pacers, the fourth-placed Pacers in the East only have only 18 wins and 14 losses, there are still 6.5 wins, which is quite a big gap.
