Chapter 152: 13 consecutive wins, all-star ticket king!

The Christmas war has just come to an end, and the all-star voting channel has officially opened.

For the All-Star Weekend in more than two months, Doon also has some ideas.

For this reason, I signed up for the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest early, hoping to achieve something by then.

It is said that not long after the Bulls returned to Chicago from New York, they took a car to Milwaukee next door and had another fight with the Bucks.

Bulls fans are also really rich, and they almost made the home court of the Bucks the home of the Bulls.

With the enthusiastic support of the fans, Doon once again led the team to a 20+ point difference, relying on a score of 109-86 to start a winning streak again.

On December 28, the Bulls hosted the Nets, who had recently been in turmoil but had just completed their reinforcements.

The Nets and the Raptors just reached a deal on Christmas night, and Carter became a part of the Nets, and even parachuted directly into the Nets' boss.

Kidd was also a magic obstacle in order to win the championship, knowing that he lacked scoring ability, he took the initiative to give up the position of the team's boss.

Let Carter attack the offense and serve Carter as his deputy, mainly responsible for tandem teams and outside defense.

This is also the fundamental reason why Carter's statistics have skyrocketed since he joined the Nets, and he seems to be back at the top and playing better than before the big injury.

On the contrary, it was Kidd, who was once in charge of the two, and from then on, he could only be the second leader at most, and completely fell out of the star sequence.

In other words, it was also because Carter had just arrived at the Nets that Kidd really incarnated as a base and didn't shoot at all.

And Carter is also ready to integrate into the team in his own way, and because he needs to prove his strength as the new boss of the Nets in front of his new teammates, he is also more diligent in shooting.

Doon did not slack off at all against Carter, and directly gave Kobe Bryant treatment.

Carter played reasonably well, shooting 9-of-23, 1-of-4 from three-point range, and 6-of-9 from the free-throw line to finish with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

However, Doon scored a quasi-triple-double of 38 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists with 15-of-31 shooting, 3-of-7 three-point shooting, and 5-of-6 free throws.

In the end, it was Doane who came out on top and helped the Bulls defeat the Nets, who had not yet run in a good lineup.

After playing the Nets, the Bulls also completely ended the '04 schedule.

Then, a new year began.

On January 1, 2005, just in time for New Year's Day, the Bulls hosted the 15-12 Magic, seventh in the East.

No one expected that last season, under the leadership of Maddie, the Magic would still be a lottery team.

Maddie didn't want to accompany Howard to practice, so he took the initiative to force Gong to leave, and the Magic had the possibility of making the playoffs again.

Of course, the more critical factor in this is Grant Hill's return from injury.

The Magic outside line is the configuration of Francis, Mobley, and Grant Hill, which is also one of the best in the East.

However, for Doon, this lineup is still relatively easy to play.

Francis and Mobley are too short, and Grant Hill has just returned from injury and is too afraid to fight.

Don't even block and pick opponents, as long as you start with your back in a high position, you can play how to play.

It is also because considering that after playing Magic, he will have to play against the Pistons in the next game, so Doon did not fire all the firepower, but mainly in tandem.

90-105, the Bulls won by 15 points at home, and Doon also swiped a wave of data with an all-round performance of 22 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists.

There is no doubt that a stable Eastern Conference dividend like the Magic is the best chance for Doane to average a triple-double per game.

And the members of the Bulls Youth Army are also very satisfied with Doon.

After all, score data is the most valuable! The cake that Doon is most happy to share with them is precisely the score!

Such a good boss can't even be found with a lantern!

After winning four in a row, Doon is also looking forward to whether he can win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for a second time.

However, all that awaited was another Eastern Conference Player of the Week accolade.

Wade, who averaged 23 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, hit the first record in the East with the Heat's 14-1 record.

Defeated Doon as a competitor and won the honor of his first career Player of the Month award.

As a good brother, Doon didn't feel bad when he saw this, but took the initiative to call Wade to congratulate him.

After accepting Doon's compliment, Wade also said that when Doon arrives in Miami next time, he will definitely ask Doon to go on an expedition.

You know, Chicago is icy and snowy, but Miami is warm as spring!

The style of Miami is also the same as the name of the Heat, which is full of enthusiasm!

Doon is also looking forward to this, looking forward to what kind of new tricks Wade can give him.

However, there are still two months to go before the next game against the Heat, just around the All-Star Weekend.

Fast forward to January 3, and the Bulls will play the Detroit Pistons again.

This time the Bulls are playing at home, while the Pistons are playing back-to-back away games.

Last night, the Pistons and Tigers also played the Celtics for four quarters!

Objectively speaking, this will undoubtedly help the Bulls players win tonight's game.

Doon also doesn't want the Bulls to only eat the Eastern Conference bonus and not touch a real strong team like the Pistons at all.

You know, the perennial Timberwolves can also win a victory from the 73-win Warriors.

And the Bulls youth army, inspired by Doon, is also going all out for tonight's game.

As a result, under the charge led by Doon, the iron wall built by the Pistons and the Five Tigers showed some signs of collapse as early as the first quarter.

The Pistons were in poor form in the first quarter, scoring only 18 points, while the Bulls scored 24 points.

In the second quarter, the Pistons got 23 points from the bottom of the game, but they still lost to the Bulls, who scored 25 points from the outside.

In order to maintain the eight-point lead achieved in the first half, and in order to win tonight, after entering the third quarter, Doon went directly to lead Billups.

It was for this reason that Hamilton had to increase the number of shots.

Although, Andres Nocioni's defense didn't interfere much with Hamilton's shooting.

But Hamilton's mid-range was not particularly against the sky, only shooting 4 of 7 in the third quarter, just a high shooting percentage, but it couldn't kill the game.

64-74, at the end of the third quarter, the Bulls just took a 10-point lead.

Seeing that he had the hope of winning, Doon naturally had no need to conserve his strength.

Doon continued to start in the fourth quarter, and after playing for 5 minutes, the margin widened to 15 points, and then went down to rest for a while.

Perhaps also because of back-to-back, Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace in the fourth quarter were clearly a little unmoved.

After Doon went off the court, the Pistons did not narrow the gap quickly, basically maintaining it at about 15 points.

With more than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter and Doon back on the court, the Pistons basically had no chance of turning defeat into victory.

With a 13-point difference, the Bulls still have the ball, and the Pistons keep Big Ben on the court.

The Bulls took the most correct way to win, Doon took the initiative to control the ball to reduce the tempo of the game, and Ben Gordon was the killer to help Doon share some of the offensive pressure.

Everyone else is blue-collar workers who do the dirty work, covering from the outside, defending, protecting rebounds, and slashing at Big Ben.

83-99, under the leadership of Doon, the Bulls once again defeated one of the best teams in the league by a big score!

It was also with this wave of 5 consecutive wins that the Bulls officially rushed to the upper playoff zone and temporarily won the fourth place in the East!

However, this is just the beginning.

On January 5, the Bulls visited New Orleans to face the Hornets, who are 2-27 and last in the West.

For this kind of team that pursues the top pick in advance, the Bulls naturally have no trouble winning at all.

Doon once again hit a triple-double of 21 points, 16 rebounds and 14 assists, making it more likely to average a triple-double per game this season.

After playing the Hornets back to Chicago, the Bulls continued to usher in a sweet schedule of five consecutive home games.

On Jan. 7, the Bulls faced Kirilenko, who was injured and absent from the Jazz.

With Boozer leading the team alone, the Jazz naturally can't win on the Bulls' home court.

On January 8, the Bulls hosted the Celtics back-to-back.

In this game, Doon not only limited Pierce, the Celtics' strongest offensive ability, on the defensive end, but also broke Tony Allen, the Celtics' strongest single defense on the outside, on the offensive end.

Doon's consistency at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in back-to-back games has made many media outlets shout incredible.

Coincidentally, because of the Bulls' continuous winning streak, Doon's statistics are also very explosive, and he once again won the honor of Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

and the just-released first-round voting results of the Eastern All-Stars, Doon, who is also the king of slam dunks, has also surpassed Carter and temporarily became the Eastern All-Star voting king.

For a time, Doon was in the limelight, and his personal performance caught up with Maddie in the 02-03 season.

And Pippen, who has an unsatisfactory life, also frequently compares Doon and Jordan in interviews with major media in Chicago.

However, Rodman, who is also a Bulls meritorious player and plays on another court and in a different way, strongly supported Jordan, saying that Jordan could not be surpassed.

Hearing this, Doon didn't care.

However, the Chicago media with relevant interests, as well as Nike behind Doon, continued to use Doon to hype up and ate a lot of traffic.

Although Doon was taken up some training and rest time because of some commercials and interviews, the Bulls' record was not affected.

After beating the Celtics, the Bulls repelled weak teams like the Warriors and 76ers at the Union Center.

On January 15, against the Knicks led by Anthony again, Doon was not merciful at all.

Again, Anthony understands what team basketball is and what the right way to win.

Anthony didn't wake up so quickly, he just felt that he wasn't strong enough, and he would challenge Doon next time when he became stronger.

The Bulls' winning streak continued, beating the Celtics again on the 19th in Boston, and defeating the Hawks away at Atlanta on the 21st.

It wasn't until back-to-back on the 22nd that the Auburn Hills Palace Arena played the Pistons again, and the 13-game winning streak came to an end.

However, this month, with a 13-1 record, the Bulls have also gone crazy, rushing from fourth in the East to second in the East.

Now there is only one win gap from the Heat, who are the first in the East!

And in the course of this month, Doon still maintains a far lead in the Eastern Conference All-Star voting.

Even the latecomers came on top, surpassing Kobe, the king of Western tickets, and became the all-star ticket king!

With the enthusiasm and strength of domestic fans as well as Chicago fans, it will not be difficult for Doon to maintain his reputation as the All-Star ticket king......
