Chapter 85: Playoff Debut (Third Update, Ask for Subscription)

With the 03-04 season, the regular season schedule is officially over.

Doon, who played 82 games in his rookie season, also handed over an average of 23.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks per game to the fans who supported him.

In terms of points per game, Doane ranks sixth on the scoring list, second only to Maddy, O'Neal, Peja, Garnett, and Kobe.

In terms of total points, Doon scored 1,919 points in a single season, behind Garnett with 1,987 and Peja with 1,964.

In terms of assists, Doon is also on the list.

Assists per game ranks fourth on the assist list, just below Kidd, Marbury, and Nash.

Many people will find it incredible, isn't Marbury's nickname a lone wolf?

In fact, if you look at the assist stats alone, Marbury has always been on the list.

Especially this season, 719 assists in a single season, the highest in the league.

It can only be said that sometimes the data can also deceive people.

Average triple-double per game does not mean all-round, and high scoring statistics does not mean that the offensive means are abundant and the key ball ability is strong.

In the case of Doon himself, most of Doon's stats are based on the first half of the regular season.

If Doon hadn't gotten the templates of Pippen, Eddie Jones, and Kidd, his scoring and playmaking skills would have been a bit lacking.

But right now, Doon has a bit of a genuine, top-10 superstar level in the league.

Leaving the OK group and leaving the Lakers, Doon's personal ability may not be as good as the top ten superstars in the league.

But in terms of his ability to lead the team, Doon feels that he has surpassed many superstars who are good at playing alone and don't know how to unite teammates and help the team win.

Next, Doon will use his own ability to help the Lakers win the biggest honor of the year, the biggest award - the NBA championship!

Doon will also use this to achieve a gorgeous transformation between rookie and superstar.

……

"Doon, excited?"

On April 18, at the Staples Center, the first round of the Lakers vs. Jazz playoffs G1 is about to start.

At this time, the starters of both teams have already arrived on the field, and the game is about to enter the jump ball round.

Before the game officially started, O'Neal, as the big brother of the Lakers, still cared about Doon, a rookie who participated in the playoffs for the first time.

"Excited, it doesn't seem to ...... I seem to be a little nervous and tired right now. ”

Doon answered O'Neill truthfully.

In fact, last night, Doon was still very much looking forward to tonight's game.

Even after taking melatonin, I was excited for an hour or two, and then I fell asleep in a daze.

Before playing the All-Star Game, Doon didn't seem to be too nervous.

Suddenly having to play in the playoffs tonight feels like something isn't quite right......

However, this is obviously the most familiar arena, the most familiar venue - Staples Center!

Doon didn't know what was the effect.

"Don't worry, even if you play badly, Shaq can help you win!

Don't look at Kobe, this kid is very fierce now, and he was also a soft-footed shrimp when he first played in the playoffs.

You still need to learn, take your time and don't rush, and find an opportunity to get a dozen branches in the bench lineup later!

All that's left to do is pass the ball to Shaq, and Shaq will naturally lead you to win the game! ”

O'Neal, as a triple crown winner, pointed out the rookie Doon.

After listening to O'Neill's experience, Doon felt that this should indeed be done.

Although Doon feels that his strength is enough, he might as well hug O'Neal's thigh first and accumulate playoff game experience.

Anyway, there is no chance to grab FMVP this year!

And with Doon's current strength, I'm afraid he won't fall into the role player championship.

Winning the championship is the top priority!

Now it's better to pass the ball to O'Neal for a season, take it to the playoff stage, and test the results!

Perhaps it was also because of O'Neill's support that Doon suddenly had the confidence to be a fox and a tiger.

Doon trembled all at once! Energetic "shake"!

With O'Neal's jump ball over Jazz center Greg Ostertag, Payton dribbled the ball steadily across half court.

For the championship ring, Payton can only restrain his temper and petty temperament.

In the last five games of the regular season, the stable style of play was handed over to Doon to deal with.

In the face of Kirilenko's single defense, Doon naturally did not choose to play alone, but immediately played with Payton.

At the same time, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have made preparations for receiving the ball and playing alone.

I saw that when Doon and Payton crossed covers, the Jazz still chose to attack Doane one after the other.

Doon immediately stepped out and played the ball in the form of a lob to O'Neal.

No, Kirilenko immediately let go of Doon and retreated into the penalty area.

Thanks to O'Neal, he directly stood up to Greg Ostertag's defense, hit his back to break through the space, and then turned around and made a hard bow and jumped off the dunk.

Kirilenko's defensive speed is already very fast, but it is still not as fast as O'Neill's combo.

"Looks like there's no problem......"

Although O'Neal took a step with his back to catch the ball, Doon couldn't get an assist.

But the ball just now was real, and it was passed to O'Neill without mistakes.

And under O'Neal's personal ability, he scored into the basket, which still gave Doon a lot of confidence.

Before the playoffs, Doon was still a little apprehensive, worried that he would not perform well in the playoffs.

Now I find that my job is fine, O'Neill's thigh is still reliable, and someone can give him a cover.

Dhorn's courage naturally increased, and he finally didn't have to be restrained anymore and was cautious.

Speaking of the Jazz's offensive round, Sloan seemed intent on replicating the success of Stockton and Malone, with Carlos Arroyo and Kirilenko in the front court.

Although Kirilenko is taller than Doon, Doon can also move Kirilenko with his strength, not to mention that Kirilenko plays without the ball, and Doon will be over if he stares him to death.

Carlos Arroyo didn't see the bigger picture as well as Stockton, and couldn't get the ball through the cracks to Kirilenko and help him get to the basket.

In the end, he could only go around in a circle, hoisting the ball to Tom Gugliotta in the low post, and letting Tom Gugliotta single Malone in the low post.

Tom Gugliotta was also an All-Star backup power forward at his peak, but now he is in thin form and out of shape.

Malone got stuck in Tom Gugliotta's position, and Tom Gugliotta couldn't shake Malone after trying to back play, so he had to re-pass the ball to the outside.

Although Alexander Pavlovich is a pitcher, in the face of Kobe's defense, he can't create shooting space and throw the ball out on his own.

As a result, he had to hand the ball to Kirilenko and let him complete the shot with five or six seconds left to attack.

There is no way, sometimes the big team boss has to do this kind of work.

After taking over the pot, Kirilenko, in the face of Doon's strict defense, could only rely on his height advantage to shoot to finish.

It's true that Kirilenko is an all-round fighter and has good shots, but he is better at blocking and breaking through the basket.

Under Doon's interference, Kirilenko, who made a hasty shot, not only failed to help the Jazz recover the difference, but contributed a defensive rebound to O'Neal.

After O'Neal got the ball, he chose to pass the ball to Doon, who passed it to him not long ago.

In the past, Doon slowly dribbled the ball through the half court, continued to follow the normal rhythm of the game, and played a triangle attack and it was over.

However, after clearly knowing that O'Neal could get to the bottom, Doon took the ball and attacked quickly, rushing forward.

Kirilenko defended quickly, but he still couldn't prevent Doon, multiple templates were superimposed, and Doon's physical attributes were basically above 90.

He is strong by him, Lao Tzu is the king of dunks!

Even with some physical confrontation, Doon was able to dunk the ball into the basket steadily!

It's a pity that the whistle in the playoffs is harsher than in the regular season, and Doon didn't get a chance to add two to one and add free throws.

Even so, in his playoff debut, Doon didn't have stage fright!

As soon as the game started, he helped the Lakers expand their 2-point advantage with his individual ability.
