Also a rookie, Chris Dujon is not as burdened as Ben Gordon when he comes on.

Originally, if you want to play in the second round, you need more balls and more opportunities.

Chris Dujon only made one shot in the first quarter, and the shot was iron.

In the second quarter, Doon was finally back on the court, and Doon was heavily defended by the Pacers, and Chris Duhon, as a member of the Bulls' youth army, naturally had to step up and break the deadlock.

So, Chris Dujon took a lot of three-pointers with no one to defend him, and then hit the iron with a bang.

The Pacers didn't care at first, and even continued to put pressure on Chris Dujon like they did Ben Gordon.

After all, after getting the "help" of Chris Duhon, the Pacers protected a lot of rebounds.

It was also with the help of Chris Dujon's continuous iron that the difference was quickly narrowed to 3 points.

It can be said that the scoring advantage established by the Bulls in the second quarter by relying on Doon's personal strength was all lost by Chris Dujon in less than 2 minutes.

Many Bulls fans at the scene had opinions on Chris Dujon and shouted in unison for Scott Skeles to replace Chris Dujon.

However, both Scott Skyles and Doon support Chris Dujon to continue to seize the opportunity to shoot in the open position and try his touch.

Because both Doon and Scott Skels know that Doon can't be alone in C the whole game.

The Bulls have to have someone put the ball into the basket to help Doane share the offensive pressure and help Doon open up space.

The emperor lives up to his hard work!

Chris Dujon, as a second-round pick, is indeed a little less talented, but he still has no problem shooting this aspect.

Relying on a lot of possession and shots, Chris Dujon slowly found his touch and finally made a three-pointer.

The walkers didn't care about this, this is only one of the five shots, the blind cat meets the dead mouse!

However, Chris Duhon's three-point shot caught the Pacers' attention.

It was thanks to Chris Duhon's three-pointer that the difference was stretched to more than 5 points.

Moreover, the consecutive goals also prove that Chris Dujon has been fed.

For that reason, the Pacers had to use Reggie Miller to defend Chris Dujon.

And Chris Dujon saw someone coming to defend him, and instead of a brainless single, he passed the ball to Andres Nocioni, who was let go.

Andres Nocioni had also shot twice before, and he didn't find his touch at first, but this time he also hit his luck, and the basketball finally stumbled into the basket.

The Bulls bloomed more on the outside, and the situation on the court was reversed all at once.

And Doon also relied on smoking without the ball and in the bottom corner, and his physical strength recovered a lot.

When Doon got the ball back on top of the arc, the Pacers tried to continue to pinch Doon without the ball and prevent Doon from receiving the ball.

Then Chris Dujon broke through with the ball without saying a word, and distributed the ball to Rohr Deng, who broke through again, O'Neal Jr. was forced to defend it, and then Rohr Deng was fouled.

With more than 3 minutes left in the second quarter, O'Neal Jr. finally accumulated his fourth foul, and Carlisle could only put O'Neal Jr. on the bench in advance.

It can only be said that the two fouls made by Doon before were too crucial.

The Pacers have no O'Neal Jr. and are completely two teams!

The next 3 minutes or so proved this point.

Doon got the ball in the backcourt, and the Pacers didn't have a defensive stalwart under the basket, so they didn't dare to pinch Doon in the frontcourt, and they didn't dare to wrap Doon outside the three-point line in the backcourt.

Martial Saint Jackson was forced to defend Doon alone, but Doon used cover to break directly into the interior line, feeding Tyson Chandler under the basket and Roel Deng in the air.

With O'Neal Jr. not on the floor, Doon's offensive threat and playmaking ability were fully unleashed, and the Pacers' defense was also full of holes and useless.

It can only be said that in the case of Artest's suspension, the Pacers have no O'Neal Jr., so this Pacers team does not have the playoff strength at all.

Because this Pacers team is not only poor in offense, but also ridiculously poor in defense on the inside.

Martial Saint Jackson wanted to provoke the beam, but was suppressed by Doon himself.

Reggie Miller, who was left at the end of his career, has an average offensive level.

Shooting is more than just muscle memory!

People are old and old legs, and shooter-type players are unstable in shooting at the end of their careers, and a big reason is the lack of leg strength.

Many stars still have baskets in their prime, and after a knee or ankle injury, their shooting ability plummets.

The fundamental reason for this is that the change in jump height and lower limb strength has a great impact on shooting.

In the early years, Wei Shao also had zombie jump shots, and returned to the factory again and again with major injuries, although his physical fitness seemed to be more and more explosive, but his shooting ability was reduced little by little.

As strong as Durant and Klay, the ruptured Achilles tendon has also reduced their shooting ability a lot.

Tonight's Reggie Miller no longer has the ability to create supernatural moments such as Miller time at his peak.

Relying on the iron of Martial Saint Jackson and Reggie Miller, the Bulls quickly extended the difference to double digits under the tandem of Doon.

At 43-56, the Bulls entered the locker room with a 13-point lead.

And the luxurious meal ordered by Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf before the game has also been waiting in the locker room for a long time.

"Ben, don't worry too much about the first half, you're still one of my most trusted brothers.

Let's eat a little together, only by replenishing our physical strength can we play better in the second half.

We have only one purpose tonight, and that is to win! ”

Originally, Doon was going to drink a bottle or two of glucose and pay for it.

However, O'Neal Jr. exceeded his plan in the first half, accumulating four fouls.

And by the end of the first half, the Bulls had already taken a 13-point lead, which made Doon a little bit of a champagne at halftime.

I have to say that the last 3 minutes of the first half fully showed that the Pacers are a paper tiger.

As long as the Bulls get rid of O'Neal Jr., the Pacers will be completely finished.

Of course, Doon did not study the idea of the second-round opponent in advance, and now Doon is still prepared for danger in times of peace and has not let his guard down on the Pacers.

In order to win tonight's game and win the entire series, Doon must activate Ben Gordon.

Ben Gordon is a big-hearted player and a rookie with very good immediate power.

If Doon wants to make it to the East, then Ben Gordon will become more and more important in the next playoffs.

"Boss, I won't let you down."

Although Ben Gordon has not yet broken the demons in his heart, but now that the Bulls have gained a lot of advantages, Ben Gordon is inevitably proud and has relaxed a lot in his mentality.

Doon comforted Ben Gordon and chatted with the rest of his teammates before letting go of his belly and eating a little more.

By the playoffs, a 13-point lead is not small.

After halftime and the third quarter resumed, Doon was not ready to let his team play fast.

is also because the Bulls took the initiative to pressure the pace of the game, and the Pacers were really in a hurry.

O'Neal Jr. intended to wear down Doon with offense, but Doon was not in a hurry to make a move in the third quarter.

Doon used Rohr Deng as a pawn to test the Pacers' defensive strategy and see how they could protect O'Neal Jr.

Sure enough, the Pacers used the likes of James Jones and Jeff Foster to create a moving wall in front of O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr. in the third quarter seems to be only responsible for offense, as well as blocking under the basket.

After roughly understanding the Pacers' offensive and defensive focus, Doon took the initiative to run to the sidelines and proposed to Scott Skels to increase the height of the lineup and strangle O'Neal Jr. with a forward group.

Doon is back in the second spot, and Josh Smith is back on the court.

Next, the Bulls played a block and break points on the offensive end, and the defensive end was wrapped up to limit O'Neal Jr.'s scoring.

As a result, O'Neal Jr. didn't show much influence on both ends of the floor, and although the rest of the Pacers scored some points, there was no way to limit the Bulls' scoring.

And as an interior player, O'Neal Jr. is destined to be unable to be the same as Doon.

In the third quarter, Doon played a very scoundrel, and O'Neal Jr. was on the court, mainly connecting the team, only occasionally catching the ball on the outside and playing one.

It wasn't until the last three minutes of the third quarter that O'Neal Jr. came out of the game to rest, and Doon took the ball to pick it up.

"Lao Tzu played the whole festival, this is not a staggered trip, right?"

The Pacers' forward group can't limit Doon, after all, Doon can not only combine shots, but also pass the ball.

By the end of the third quarter, the score on the court had come to 67-84, and the difference between the two teams had widened to 17 points, and the Bulls were basically able to win tonight's game.

However, the Pacers did not give up the game, and the Bulls took the opportunity to practice, and Doon rested off the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

However, it was precisely because of the early rest that Doon was forced to clock in for three quarters.

Ben Gordon had the feeling of breaking through his demons and finding himself in the third quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, I directly put on the attitude that the boss is not in charge of my house.

Whether it's Anthony Johnson or Reggie Miller, Ben Gordon regained his killer instinct and attacked indiscriminately, scoring 13 points in a single quarter.

Ben Gordon, who also relied on garbage time to dare to fight and scored 17 points in the game, became the second-highest scoring player for the Bulls to win G1 tonight.

The highest was naturally Doon, who clocked in in the third quarter, shooting 12-of-25 from the field, 2-of-5 from three-point range, and 10-of-11 from the free throw line, scoring a high of 36 points.

If it weren't for the three-quarter punch card, Doon would definitely have been able to score 40+ points tonight.

However, in his playoff debut, he was able to punch in 30+ in three quarters, and Doon deserved to be the boss of the second team in the East.

91-106, the Bulls won G1 by a huge advantage of 15 points, which proved that the second place in the East is the real thing.

Of course, the biggest piece of good news for the Bulls is the changes that have taken place in the rookies while winning.

The Pacers can't win with O'Neal Jr. alone, and the Bulls can't win with Doane alone.

The key to the Bulls' win tonight is Rohr Deng, Chris Dujon, Andres Nocioni, and Ben Gordon stepping up one after another.

As for Tyson Chandler and Josh Smith, they also played better and better in garbage time in the fourth quarter.

It is foreseen that as the playoffs progress, as they accumulate more playoff experience, their strength will inevitably increase, and their performance will get better and better.

Because, they have no shortage of talent, and the playoffs are the stage for NBA players to show their talent!
