"Brother, congratulations on advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals, let's do it together!"

After getting his phone back, the latest set of text messages Doon received was from Wade.

It turned out that the Heat also just finished playing G5 tonight and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Because the Miami game was played earlier than Chicago, it ended a little faster.

In fact, the Heat can sweep the Knicks.

However, because of Doon's matchmaking, Wade did not make eye contact with James, but admired each other with Anthony.

So, Wade still saved a little face for Anthony.

Of course, it was still a day of thunderbolt and snow for Anthony, after all, Anthony's playoff journey suffered another round of tours......

After learning of Anthony's tragic experience, Doon sent a celebratory text message to Wade and O'Neal.

also sent a text message congratulating Anthony on ending his work early, getting a vacation early, being able to go out to sea to fish, and being at ease.

It can only be said that the brothers are here to gloat!

However, Anthony's mentality was okay, and he had a phone call with Doon later.

He said that he would come to Chicago to watch Doon play in a few days, and then go to Miami to watch Wade play, and stay in Miami for a few days off.

As a good brother, Doon naturally agreed with this, welcomed Anthony to come to Chicago to watch him play, and even directly chartered the tickets and air tickets, and also promised to arrange a show for Anthony.

As soon as Anthony heard this, he immediately flew to Chicago in a hurry.

However, after Doon picked up Anthony, he left Anthony in the villa, saying that the TV at home had turned on many programs, and Anthony could watch whatever he wanted.

Doon runs his own practice at the Union Center to prepare for the next big game against the Pistons.

As long as they win the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls will basically have smooth sailing and go straight to the finals.

If any injuries occur to the teams that come out of the West, the Bulls may even pull off an upset to win the championship under Doon's leadership.

It is precisely because of this that Doon has not let his guard down for a moment, and in recent times, he has basically soaked in the training ground of the United Center all day.

No, Anthony really didn't treat Doon as an outsider.

During the time when Doon was not at home, Anthony quickly found a local black model in Chicago, and then generously brought it back to Doon's villa to mess around.

Fortunately, Doon had a lot of bedrooms in his house, and he also hired housekeepers and servants.

Anthony did agree to Wade to go to Miami to watch the game, so when the Bulls finished the Eastern Conference semifinals G1, Anthony left Chicago.

However, this also reminded Doon that when he had a family in the future, he would not be able to take his brother home.

Who knows how far they will go?

Straight back to May 8th.

Both the Bulls and Pistons swept their opponents 4-1 in the first round, so the Eastern Conference semifinals were played relatively early.

Both teams have been preparing carefully for a long time for this big battle.

At the beginning of the game, Tyson Chandler jumped the ball from Big Ben with his height.

However, it was only the first offense that Doon found that the Pistons' restricted area was not as easy to break into as the Pacers.

The Pistons have more defensive resources than the Pacers, and the Pistons' defensive arrangement for Doane is also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, only allowing Doon to play alone on the outside, and immediately wrap up as soon as he enters the elbow area.

In doing so, Doon burst below the elbow zone and either continued to hit the basket or distributed the ball to his teammates on the perimeter.

Doon tried to give his teammates some chances first, and Ben Gordon took advantage of it at first, making four three-pointers in the first quarter, and the Pistons really dared to let Ben Gordon continue to shoot.

Of course, the Pistons weren't stupid, and they couldn't really keep shooting without taking other remedial measures.

In order to win tonight, Billups didn't attack except for three shots at the beginning.

Directly from the dribble, he defended Ben Gordon, and through a lot of physical contact, Ben Gordon's shooting felt cold quickly.

If the Bulls want to win, it is certainly not enough for Doon to play a critical hit.

In fact, Doon is not without helpers around him, Ben Gordon, who averages 17.2 points per game in the playoffs, is the second leader next to Doon.

However, Billups, who is now at his peak, can defend Lakers Payton from becoming a Lakers threat, and this defensive ability can be imagined.

After Ben Gordon ran out of touch, Doon had to step up and take over the match.

The old way, in addition to taking the initiative to pinch Billups on the defensive end, Doon also went to the low post to find trouble with Roaring Tianzun on the offensive end.

The top defense of the Roaring Tianzun is quite good, and Dunn's back attack is definitely not much to do with the Roaring Tianzun by brute force.

But Doon was fast enough to turn around on his back to break through this move, and the defense of the Roaring Tianzun was useless to Doon.

However, Daben's co-defense is indeed very deterrent.

Doon can only share the ball to Tyson Chandler under the basket, but the problem is that Big Ben still has the ability to defend and play two under the basket.

Tyson Chandler's offensive level is already limited, and relying on his height advantage alone, he can't ravage Daben at will like Yao Ming.

But after Tyson Chandler was stuck by Big Ben in the next handicap, Tyson Chandler could only pass the ball to his teammates on the outside.

In fact, the first half was okay, the Bulls took a maximum of 12 points ahead, and even after the first half, the Bulls still had an 8-point advantage.

However, in the second half, the Pistons relied on their still stable defense to continue to limit the Bulls' outside shooting percentage.

Doon could only force the Pistons to rely on the offense, and use the conversion offense to beat the Pistons to gain an unstable foothold.

But the problem is, Hamilton was in hot form tonight.

Doon also had a hard time scoring with his teammates and had to keep more energy on the offensive end.

On the Bulls' side, neither rookie Josh Smith nor veteran Antonio Davis can defend against Rashid Wallace.

Larry Brown's on-court ability is not bad, after noticing that Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace are better offensively.

handed over the ball to Billups and Prince to Hamilton and Roaring Tianzun respectively.

The Bulls failed to limit the Pistons' scoring, and the Pistons actively lowered the tempo of the game, reduced the number of rounds, and focused on protecting rebounds.

By the end of the third quarter, the Bulls' lead had narrowed to three points because of poor offense and defense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides directly began to fight for bayonets, and Doon withstood the pressure.

But because Doon touches the ball a lot and his teammates don't touch the ball, the outside pitcher has a poor feel.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Doon had to take a break, and in the period before coming back to take over the game at the end of the fourth quarter, the Bulls struggled to score, and were hit by the Pistons to play a 7-2 spurt, and the difference was reversed all at once.

Doon had a break of more than 2 minutes off the field before having to return to the field early.

The Bulls can only use Doane to continue to carry the ball and work hard, and then use the chopping tactic to limit the Pistons' scoring.

The cut-down tactic did have some effect, and the Bulls turned defeat into victory again to chase back the point difference.

However, Doon's physical exertion is also very high.

Larry Brown noticed that Big Ben was dragging the team on the offensive end, and also pulled the Loves off the bench early.

The Bulls lost the big money that was able to chase down the number of rounds and extend the game to give Doane a respite, and the rest of the game naturally got worse.

Doon was so tired that he had to share the ball with Ben Gordon in the hope that he could save it with a big heart shot.

However, the truth is that Ben Gordon is still too immature. After being stalked by Billups, Ben Gordon was deposed for most of it.

Two fists were no match for four hands, even though Doon scored 38 points individually.

But the final score was 94-91, and the Bulls still lost G1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals by 3 points.

As a result, the rest of the game will be difficult for the Bulls.

Once the Bulls can't hold on to their second home-court advantage, then it's likely that their morale will collapse and they'll be swept 4-0 by the Pistons.

Just when Doon was thinking about a way to break the enemy, on the morning of May 9, the league also announced the final winner of this year's regular season MVP early.
