In the fourth game, Nowitzki and Terry got together and tied the total score to 2-2.

Wang Jun felt poor, only scored 21 points, James was trapped in the joint defense, scoring a triple-double of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. The Kings had a hard time winning with the two playing styles and lost 18 points.

Entering the playoffs, players with strong impact will be more effective.

Ray Allen, McGrady and Peja played poorly in this series. Terry and Crawford became an important firepower point in the Mavericks, helping Nowitzki share the pressure.

Before the fifth battle began, a brief ceremony was held at the king's home court.

Wang Jun won the fourth trophy and made a speech. "Now I just want to lead the team to win the fifth game, eliminate the Mavericks as soon as possible to advance, and finally win the championship. The winner is the real one. It is not a happy time yet. Please support me, thank you."

I thought I could win the championship easily, but I played 2-2 with the Mavericks. It was impossible for Wang Jun to have no pressure at all.

In the fifth game, James played badly again and sleepwalking throughout the game.

The Mavericks used strange tricks to deal with him, allowing Kidd to defend himself, Stephenson and Marion mainly dealt with Wang Jun. Unexpectedly, James was actually defended by Kidd, and he missed several jump shots. He always broke through with the ball and was always stuck in the position by Kidd.

James has a physical advantage, and Kidd has small moves, so James can't play his back, and forced a breakthrough and was also created to hit people twice by dribbling the ball.

In the whole game, James made 3 of 11, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, only 8 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and there were four turnovers.

However, the Kings still won in this game. Wang Jun was defeated by Stephenson, Crawford, and Marion doubled him and passed the ball. He made 13 of 19 shots in the game, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 34 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

Wang Jun's assists were extremely critical several times, and 6 times were scored by his teammates.

Peja made 3 three-pointers, Curry made 4 three-pointers, and Ray Allen made 5 three-pointers.

After entering the playoffs, Ray Allen has been in poor form, averaging only 8 points. In this game, he scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, overwhelming the sixth man Crawford, the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' performance was also very poor, Nowitzki scored 25 points, Terry scored 20 points, and Marion scored 17 points, and no one scored in double digits again.

Back at home, Nowitzki showed his power.

He beat James in a one-on-one match and scored 17 points in the first quarter. He made 7 of 11 two-pointers, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He turned around and shot accurately. He also turned around and dunked with both hands, and attracted double-teaming to assist Terry to shoot a three-pointer.

James also sleepwalking on the offensive end, reducing his shots, not making a firm breakthrough, and did not dare to take action against Kidd, passing the ball again and again.

Let him guard against Nowitzki, he seems to really treat himself as a defensive blue-collar worker.

18 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. If you are a role player, it would be too bad if James had only such data.

Wang Jun scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, made only 8 of 23 shots, and performed poorly.

102 to 113, the Kings lost another game, with a total score of 3 to 3.

After the game, James was severely criticized by the media.

In the first round, some people said that James is more qualified to win the regular season than Wang Jun, and now he is shut up.

This year is like the time Kobe took it in 2009. Many James was dissatisfied and thought James was better. As a result, he played a mess in the finals.

James is not a matter of losing his chain at a critical moment, and he is not good at fighting tough battles.

No one thinks this is his normal level, and can only be explained from a mentality.

McBrien commented: "James' psychological problems should be handled when he transfers to the Kings, rather than entering the playoffs, and only when his weaknesses appear, he starts to adjust. After all, the Kings are Wang Jun's team, and James cannot easily steal his limelight. Judging from his performance in this series, James is not as good as Wang Jun, and he cannot play without the ball at all."

Barkley has similar views and is more critical. "If James can be a good three-pointer, the Kings don't have to play the seventh game with the Mavericks, he missed too many good opportunities. Wang Jun is willing to share the ball rights, but James can't pass the 40-year-old Kidd one-on-one, and Wang Jun must take over the game in the end."

Radio host Ronald said: "I have never liked James very much. It's not that he played badly, but that he was too scheming and thought too much. In the Cavaliers, he was beaten by the Bulls, and the Lakers' mentality is unbalanced. This is not a state that a leader should appear. Now the King's talent is overflowing. As a person without a championship ring, he should strive to win. He can't do Jordan well, and even Pippen is not doing well."

After seeing the news, James was going crazy at home.

He began to panic, and there were too many news that was unfavorable to him. If he lost to the Mavericks in a sudden tiebreak, the media would definitely say that he had dragged down the team. He won the tiebreak, and if his data was not good, he would not be able to prove himself.

The phone rang, and Wang Jun called. "LeBron, how about having lunch together? Go play games in the afternoon."

"Play the game? I'll be in the seventh tomorrow. Don't we practice the ball?" James said with a wry smile.

"The most important thing now is not to practice football, but to relax. See you in the restaurant later."

Wang Jun only looked for James, and the two found a private room and ordered Italian specialty food.

James said depressedly: "Wang, have you read the news online? Are you as disappointed as the fans?"

"No, I'm actually more fortunate that the problem occurred in the second round. If it was the finals, you would be more stressed. I firmly believe that you will win the tiebreak."

"Why?"

"Because Nowitzki is definitely more nervous than us now, he wants to prove himself more and older. If he doesn't win the championship, the chances will become increasingly slim in the future. Also, the Mavericks are afraid that you will return to normal. As long as you perform normally like the regular season, they will never be able to beat us."

So, is it really my fault? James complained in his heart.

"Brother, what are you afraid of? What are you not allowed to let go?" Wang Jun asked with a smile.

James said slowly: "I'm afraid of losing, I've never won, I'm afraid it's a curse."

"Then are you afraid of Kidd? Are you afraid of Stevenson? Are you afraid of Marion? They should be afraid of you. You just need to defend Nowitzki and immediately make a fast break. Can they defend your breakthrough? I will be responsible for rebounding in the next game. You can make a quick break and give full play to your advantage."

James asked in a low voice: "Have you ever been afraid in the playoffs?"

"Of course, I'm very nervous every time the playoffs, but I'm even more afraid of regretting losing because I dare not play. So, I believe I'm better than others. If I can't do it, others will not do it. If you don't have enough confidence tomorrow, pass the ball to me, but the defense must be done well."

"Understood."

"There is no need to retain physical strength tomorrow. Don't make Nowitzki feel comfortable and keep looking for confrontation."

After dinner, Wang Jun asked James to go to the nearby game hall to play games. Shooting games, the two of them were holding machine guns and killing people like a numbness. The original killing was easy to make people excited.

Relax appropriately and make it easier to play well when playing.

That night, Wang Jun slept well, and James didn't think about basketball, just waited to shoot more shots in the morning to find the feel.

He didn't defend well in the last game because the confrontation was not fierce enough, which allowed Nowitzki to easily get the ball too many times. In the last game, he vowed not to be distracted anymore.
