In the face of Kobe, who returned to the court in the second quarter and was still high-spirited, Doon had nothing to say but continued to greet him with elbows.

As long as Kobe Bryant is not afraid of pain or tiredness, Doon is naturally not afraid to continue to fight Kobe.

Under high-intensity defense, Jordan could also be defended as Kobe.

Now that Kobe Bryant is facing Doon's strict defense, his shooting percentage is obviously much lower than last season's average shooting percentage.

But Kobe Bryant unswervingly chose to use offense to crush Doon's fighting spirit!

Although Doon was a little sore and tired, he could only say arrogantly: "Didn't you eat dinner?" ”

Bryant thought Doon was trash-talking.

After a while, I heard Doon continue: "I'll have a supper in the evening, will you come?" ”

Only then did he realize that Doon really wanted to invite him to dinner.

"Let's wait until I win the game!"

Even though the Lakers are behind in the score, Kobe Bryant remains confident.

When Doon heard this, he also continued to laugh and defend, and continued to let Kobe Bryant fall into the trap of indulging in iron.

However, the second quarter was half the quarter, like the first, and as his physical strength dropped, Doon's three-point shooting began to drop sharply again.

Because the point difference was not very large, Doon was worried that the score would be reversed in the second half, so he chose to play a little longer in the second quarter to try to help the team open the score.

Dhorne no longer shoots three-pointers, but instead slammed into the basket.

Because of Kobe's defense, Doon must have worked harder to break through than to shoot three-pointers.

Sometimes, even the defender has to pass the ball to his teammates again, and then take the ball to continue to play to prevent being caught by the referee.

However, combined with the combination of sudden passes and mobilization of teammates, the Bulls' scoring rate rose slightly faster than Doon's solo Kobe Bryant.

Moreover, Doon is not a strong passer to his teammates.

When Doon burst to the basket, his teammates' tactical coordination attracted a certain amount of defensive attention.

Relying on Odom's lack of concentration and Eddie Curry's sparse defense, Doon gave full play to Parker's breakthrough ability, and his finishing percentage under the basket was ridiculously high.

Doon played more than 10 minutes in the second quarter, shooting 6-of-11, 2-of-6 from three-point range, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Bulls, led by Doon, played 53-48 and led by five points.

And Doon, relying on the 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists that have been accumulated in the first half, is expected to score 50+ triple-doubles tonight.

In order to be able to win the stats and win the game, Doon had to take the role of coach at halftime to boost the morale of his teammates.

'We are a team that is rebuilding and I am very proud of the effort we did tonight.

You know, we had a five-point lead over the defending champion Lakers in the first half!

However, I have to remind everyone that if you want to win, you can't just try hard in the first half. ”

'With the effort of the first half, yes, we took the lead!

But if we relax now, when the opponent adjusts, increases the intensity of the game, and starts to hit the basketball, we're in trouble!

If we want to win, we have to make it hard for them! It's only when they're uncomfortable that we can really enjoy the game. ”

"I know it's not going to be easy to beat a defending champion like the Los Angeles Lakers.

I know that after the first half, everyone is already tired!

However, I still have to help me win tonight's game because of my personal position and personal interests!

I have a reason why I have to win the game, so I'm going to leave it to everyone! ”

Winning is everyone's business, but Doon still starts from a personal point of view and takes the initiative to lower his profile, hoping to get his other teammates to cooperate with him and work together to win tonight's game.

Ben Gordon and the others originally supported Doon and wanted to help Doon win tonight's grudge game.

At the same time, they also want to use the opening match to show their abilities and make a name for themselves.

If you can follow Doane as a rookie to defeat a defending champion like the Lakers with the weak, it will be a good thing for fame and fortune.

"Boss, don't worry, we'll help you win the game tonight."

"Go and beat Kobe! We'll take care of the rest! ”

"Boss, in my eyes you can do anything, lead us to defeat the defending champions! Whatever you want me to do, I'm willing! ”

Seeing that the military heart was available, Doon was also in a good mood and put on the posture of the boss of the locker room, and began to instruct the rookies to eat some bananas and drink some drinks.

At the same time, they were also warned not to eat too much food, which would affect their competitive state in the second half and eat a big meal after the game.

As for Doon himself, he entered playoff mode early and dried a bottle of glucose alone.

As the third quarter began, Doon and Kobe Bryant were still in the first half.

Doon didn't call his teammates to block and dismantle, and Kobe Bryant didn't call his teammates to wrap Doon, the two still fought alone, both superior and decided.

Kobe Bryant, who had a full break at halftime, was in a very brave state, throwing three mid-distances in a row, and he forgot to say Doon's trash talk.

Fortunately, Doon's physical strength was also relatively abundant, and he continued to shoot two three-pointers in a step-by-step manner, and then began to combine sudden shots and passes.

Just when Doon used Eddie Curry's average ability to protect the frame, Odom was easy to distract, and the Lakers' weak defense in the restricted area was relatively weak, constantly helping the Bulls score under the basket.

Tang Shuai was finally no longer indifferent, but played more than three minutes in the third quarter, and made personnel adjustments in advance.

Tang Shuai replaced the Lakers' interior twin towers with Divac and Brian Cook off the bench in an attempt to increase the interior defense.

However, what Tang Shuai didn't expect was that Doon's finishing ability under the basket was not affected much.

Brian Cook, on the other hand, is a rookie with little defensive experience and was Doon's teammate last season, so Doon knows him well.

When Brian Cook was dangled by Doon to make two plus one in a row, Tang Shuai had to replace Odom again.

Don't look at Odom's easy desertion, but he really doesn't get fouled much.

And when Odom occasionally cheers up and helps the defense seriously, Doon also needs to break through the ball and use the ability of his teammates to complete the finish.

However, the Lakers' defense has just improved a bit, and there is another problem on Bryant's side.

In fact, it's nothing, it's just Kobe Bryant's series of irons, so that Tyson Chandler didn't play the third quarter of the game, and the rebounding data was doubled early.

Doon was overjoyed when he saw this: "Tonight's three doubles, count on Kobe!" ”

Only half of the third quarter was played, and Doon's assist stats were already in double figures.

So, the pressure of a triple-double is all on the rebound.

With Kobe Bryant's steady output of rebounds, Doon also gave his good brother Tyson Chandler a little bit of a point or two when he was returning to defense.

"I'm in the basket, you just have to get Divac in the right position and don't let Divac touch the rebound, and I'll be able to attack faster."

In this game, the main theme is Doon and Kobe Bryant's singles. However, the two teams have also played several rounds of transition offense.

Even if Doon and Kobe Bryant are on the court at the same time, it is inevitable that they will need to take care of the needs of their teammates.

Doon thought that it wouldn't be a bad thing to pass a few good balls to his teammates in addition to singles, right?

Therefore, it is more reasonable for Doon to take a few more defensive rebounds in the way of team basketball, right?

However, Doon's plan had just begun to be executed, and Bryant's blast furnace began to heat up again, and there was no iron for the time being.

Fortunately, Doon is already a journeyman and knows how to help Kobe Bryant increase his iron rate.

Kobe Bryant began to fight again with Doon's strict defense and his own declining physical strength.

On the contrary, it was Doon, who relied on the breakthrough to finish under the basket, scored a double-double in a single quarter, and even slowly approached 20 points.

As the difference between the two teams widens to 10 points, the personal scoring gap between Doon and Kobe Bryant is also further widening.

With more than 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Tang Shuai saw that the situation was not right, and replaced Eddie Curry, intending to let Eddie Curry help Cobi shoulder the offensive pressure.

Kobe Bryant didn't want to take the initiative to ruin the promise, let alone lose the game. can only be like Doon, first break through the singles successfully, and then divide the ball and rely on teammates to finish.

However, Kobe's style of play is somewhat excessive.

Eddie Curry can hit Tyson Chandler with the ball in the low post, but it is Kobe Bryant who rushes to the basket and passes inside, which is easy to attract Doane and Josh Smith.

Eddie Curry is used to one-on-one, and in addition, although Eddie Curry is a small shark, his ability to eat cakes is really not as good as O'Neal's.

Watching Eddie Curry be a little scramble when receiving the ball because of the small space under the basket, but the butter hand wasted Kobe's wonderful pass.

Kobe Bryant is angry!

"Can you still eat the cake? That's not as good as that dead fat man! ”

Kobe Bryant managed to get rid of Doon's defense and made three pies for Eddie Curry in a row.

As a result, Eddie Curry only ate one, which made Kobe more determined, and the ball still had to be played by himself!

The scrappy Kobe Bryant seems to have infinite physical strength.

In order to maintain his effectiveness at the critical moment in the fourth quarter, Doon still went off the court early and did not play the third quarter, but Kobe Bryant insisted on playing the third quarter.

And this time, Kobe Bryant did not continue to pretend to be reserved, in order to win the game, Kobe began to punch Roel Deng, Dior and other rookies.

didn't wait for the fourth quarter to start, Kobe Bryant scored more than 40 points.

However, when the fourth quarter resumed, Doon quickly regained the team's scoring advantage and a lead in individual scoring statistics.

The massive loss of physical strength not only made Kobe's footsteps heavier, but even his reaction was a beat slower.

Doon, however, relied on a combination of work and rest and reasonable rotation time to shoot a three-pointer at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

On top of that, Ben Gordon has also begun to show his big heart attributes.

Seeing that Ben Gordon had a hot hand, Doon no longer insisted on rushing to the basket, but passed the ball directly to Ben Gordon.

Brush Brush Brush –

Three points rained down, and the difference suddenly stretched to 10 points.

The Lakers fans, who were still cheering for Doon, also began to snort and stop talking.

The so-called Duke Double Honey, at a critical moment, still corrected their position.

They are Lakers fans, and naturally they only want to see the Lakers win.

However, Bryant is still doing what he is good at, scoring and playing iron.

Kobe Bryant tonight was not strong, scoring 16 points alone in the fourth quarter, and the team only scored 20 points.

Bryant scored a full 60 points in the game, although he relied on 46 shots to get it back.

However, there are really few people in the entire NBA who can rely on 40+ shots and get 40+ points on the floor.

Not to mention, Kobe's physical strength is not all spent on offense.

The tough defense against Doon is also a big attraction tonight.

"Huh...... Kobe, I'll treat you to dinner! Heh......"

With 1:14 left in the game and the Bulls leading by 12 points, Doane repeated the old words, gasping for air while inviting Kobe Bryant to supper.

Bryant was also sweating profusely, wheezing profusely, and still hunched his back, his hands propped on his knees, and he couldn't run.

"I'll talk about it when I win!"

Kobe Bryant didn't give up the game early, but it was completely different from what he said before, "Wait until I win the game".

Doon laughed at this: "After all, I laughed at the end!" ”

Doon took the ball and lowered the tempo of the game.

Because the victory is already decided, Doon is not ready to score points in garbage time, and when there are five seconds left in the offensive time, he passes the ball to Ben Gordon and lets him play casually.

Ben Gordon was grateful for Doon's appreciation, and he also took his eyes on the basket solemnly, and slammed into the basket in the face of Hinrich's defense.

Hinrich's defense was good, but Ben Gordon was unreasonable.

99 to 85, gotcha! At the end of the game, the difference in the last minute had not narrowed, but widened.

Under the leadership of Doon, the Bulls youth army from afar defeated the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the opening game with a huge margin of 14 points!

Of course, hardship is only for Doon.

Doon made a total of 37 shots in the iron battle with Kobe.

Relying on 19-of-37 shooting, 11-of-23 three-point shooting, and 4-of-5 free throws, he scored 53 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, and scored a 50+ triple-double for the first time in his career.

And the high score of 53 points has also become the highest score of Doon's career!

Of course, tonight is just the first regular season game of Doon's rookie second season!

This alone, Doon has already scored 53 points! Who knows where Doon's scoring ceiling is?

"Kobe, swap jerseys? I'm in for a treat in the evening, are you coming? ”

At the end of the game, Doon took the initiative to find Kobe Bryant and met with a smile......
