In the face of the double Wallace's strict defense, Doon scored a 40+ triple-double in the third quarter, leading the team to break the doubts of the outside world and helping the Bulls win the Eastern Conference semifinals G4 in one fell swoop.

After such an explosive performance, the North American basketball world was also completely shocked by Doon's exaggerated performance.

The day after the Bulls and Pistons finished G4, basically all sports-related media reported on the situation between the Bulls and the Pistons G4.

Originally, the vast majority of basketball commentators predicted that the Pistons would advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, but now there has been a huge reversal, and they all believe that the Bulls will be the team to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

TNT, Inside the NBA.

Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley Audio-Technica sat down in the studio early.

"Kenny, Charles, who do you think the Chicago Bulls or the Detroit Pistons will win this series?"

Host Ernie Johnson made an opening remark and immediately turned the conversation to Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

Buckley replied first: "The Chicago Bulls, no doubt!"

I've said before that Doon is a well-deserved regular season MVP!

Don't look at Doon's regular season MVP votes, just slightly ahead of Steve Nash.

But if you want to say that Doon's real strength is definitely far beyond other competitors, Doon is undoubtedly the best player this season!

In the playoffs, Doon far surpassed the regular season in terms of statistics, game performance, and leadership.

This is enough to show that Doon can perform better in the regular season! ”

Kenny Smith nodded and picked up the conversation, "Yes, Charles, you're right.

However, I don't think the Detroit Pistons will lose to the Chicago Bulls!

No matter how strong Doon is, there is only one person, and even Michael Jordan can't lead the team to the Eastern Conference Finals in his second season as a rookie.

I don't deny that Doon is more than we all expected and he has appeared in front of us in an incredible way.

I didn't think Doon would be so good after he left the Los Angeles Lakers.

We've all been NBA players, and we all know that even as an All-Star, it's not going to be that easy to be the boss of a team.

If Doon wants to establish himself with the Chicago Bulls, he will inevitably be treated defensively by the team boss.

All the defensive giants in the league will try to tell Doon: 'Rookie, you're not strong enough to be the boss of the Chicago Bulls!' ’

However, Doon, like Larry Bird in his rookie years, quickly told everyone with practical actions: 'You have someone else to guard me!' ’

Like last night, Doon beat the league's best defensive player.

But, I still have to say that Doon can't beat the Detroit Pistons alone.

We all know that their head coach, Larry Brown, is a great coach.

In the next game, the Detroit Pistons will definitely use Jordan's rule, and they will definitely guard against Doane.

It's not that I'm belittling the Chicago Bulls' players, and if it weren't for Doon, the Chicago Bulls would still be a lottery team.

I don't think the Pistons will be able to take their chance and beat the Detroit Pistons again with Dhorn in the case of Dhorn. ”

"I still insist that Doon can lead the team to beat the Detroit Pistons.

Doon has proven that he can beat Ben Wallace and Rashid Wallace in the low post.

Doon scored 45 points in just three quarters, and no one from the Detroit Pistons could stop Doon from scoring! ”

Barkley backed up Dhorn and argued for it.

Kenny Smith gave an example: "Charles, do you remember the 1986 playoffs?

It was in the first round of the playoffs that year that the Chicago Bulls faced the Boston Celtics!

Michael Jordan is undoubtedly the strongest player in the series!

In the first game, he scored 49 points, and in the second game, he incarnated as a god and scored 63 points, but in the third game, he only scored 19 points!

No matter how well Michael Jordan plays, he can't win a game, not even one!

What is the difference between today's Chicago Bulls and the one next to Michael Jordan back then?

Michael Jordan met the championship team, and now Doon is also facing last year's Eastern Conference champions! ”

Kenny Smith's analogy with Jordan to Doon is more convincing.

Many people may not know that Jordan's rookie first three years, every year in the playoffs, every year in the first round.

Two of them were against the Celtics, taught by Larry Bird, and swept out twice.

The most explosive thing is to force King Larry Bird to admit it himself - God is playing in the No. 23 jersey tonight!

From there, Jordan gradually got the nickname of the black Jesus.

This is the same as the demigod of the ninja world, Sanshoyu Hanzo, admitting that the yellow gambling and drugs that had just debuted, and giving them the name of the three ninjas, so that they became famous in the ninja world at once, and gradually became the "legendary three ninjas".

After all, Jordan, who just debuted and couldn't even pass the first round, just brushed the scoring title in the regular season, which is easy to give people the impression that Jordan is just a data brush.

Jordan also relied on the fighting spirit of not admitting defeat and relying on the strength that became stronger and stronger.

If you lose to the Celtics, you will fight back from the Celtics, and if you lose to the Pistons, you will step on the Pistons to ascend to the throne, and you will become the god of basketball step by step.

And Jordan's road to the top of the league has also taken several years, and it was not achieved overnight.

is as strong as Jordan, no matter how much he won the scoring title in his rookie season, if no teammates stand up to share the offensive pressure, he will be beaten alive by the Celtics and restrained to death.

Jordan obviously has the ability to score 63 points in a single game in the playoffs, but why is he limited to only 19 points in the next game?

This is naturally because one person cannot defeat five people.

At that time, the Celtics not only had Larry Bird but also Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge, Roporter Parish, and even a Bill Wharton sitting on the bench.

No matter how strong Jordan is, when he encounters this fierce man, it is obviously impossible to play five with one and score a big package.

Before the game, Larry Bird also gambled his career, telling reporters and teammates: "If Jordan scores 20 points, I will retire immediately and become a truck driver." ”

Why does Larry Bird dare to pretend to be so forced? Naturally, it was because the Celtics were the best defensive team in the league at the time.

And who is the best defensive team in the league at the moment?

Detroit Pistons!

Once the Pistons are out, the game can be lost, Doon must die for the attitude, and Doon wants to score more than 20, which may be a bit difficult.

Doon has no problem playing one in the low post, and one or two can also use feints and footwork, and use the threatening ability of sudden throws and passes to break down one by one.

However, if the Pistons strangled Doon with a group of forwards with quick feet and full of physical strength, then Doon would immediately drop several notches like Olajuwon met a supersonic front group.

The super giant single defense is definitely unstoppable, but it can be restricted by a group of people.

If the Pistons do whatever it takes to limit Doon's scoring, maybe the Pistons can defend the Bulls by guarding Doon and win the game.

Starting from Barkley himself, in the next game, it will definitely be Doon, the boss of the team, who will lead the team by scoring singles, continue to create miracles, and turn the tide on his own, and Link Pistons will advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

Kenny Smith has worked with Olajuwon for many years and knows that Olajuwon alone will not be able to win the championship, and he must rely on the strength of the team to win better.

So, at a glance, I saw through the problem of the bull.

Today's bulls are fat, and the only one who is really strong is Doon, the leader.

Once Doon is restricted, he becomes a big-headed baby with slender limbs, with an intelligent brain, but unable to control his weak limbs to do physical and technical work.

Fast forward to May 16, the United Center in Chicago.

Because they just won G4 two days ago, the Chicago fans at the scene must have confidence in Doon and the Bulls players.

However, once the game started, the Pistons' defensive strategy was very obvious.

Doon was caught between Prince and Hamilton in the half, even if he didn't get the ball!

Larry Brown's attitude is clear, Doon must die!

The Pistons limited Doon's play tonight by putting his body on Doon early.

As long as the Bulls' home whistle isn't too obvious tonight, the Pistons won't be able to let Doane score easily.

Of course, there are pros and cons to a defensive arrangement like the Pistons.

In addition to Billups' defensive ball carriers, the low-post duo Wallace must be prepared to defend two and three all over the court.

In the first quarter, the Bulls' offensive opportunity came to Andres Nocioni.

Doon struggled to receive the ball under the constraints of a defensive around the front and a pack without the ball.

It is basically impossible to get the ball in the low post, and if you want to take it, you can only take the ball in the high position and play it inside with the help of blocking.

Otherwise, it is to play without the ball, relying on the off-ball cover to catch the ball and immediately shoot to attack and score.

Doon wanted to use his off-ball ability to help the Bulls score, but the Bulls didn't have a very good passer.

When Ben Gordon forced Cedun in the first quarter, there were two errors in passing, and because Ben Gordon was heavily defended by Billups, the scoring efficiency was not high.

Scott Skeyles also had to replace Ben Gordon early and bring on serious point guard Chris Duhon.

Of course, Chris Dujon is a first-year rookie and a second-round pick himself, and he can't resist Billups in terms of personal strength or pressure resistance.

Therefore, the Pistons forced the Bulls to give the ball to the wing and interior players through this kind of defense.

Andres Nocioni had a number of open three-point opportunities, but Big Ben made every save from the inside.

After all, Andres Nocioni has not completely mastered the NBA's three-point line, and his three-point ability is not stable.

When Andres Nocioni became more and more iron due to the intensification of physical confrontation and increased physical exertion, he even appeared to be blocked by Big Ben.

Andrés Nocioni will inevitably become less confident and will start looking for Doon's position after getting the ball.

And even if Doon gets the ball, he will immediately suffer from Kobe's treatment, and he must pass or throw the ball immediately under the sandwich of three people.

As the leader of the team, Dwane is behind the Bulls and can't pass the ball every time.

However, Doon changed from Olajuwon in the last game to Kobe Bryant in this game, and the situation of the game naturally became more and more unfavorable to the Bulls.

Even if the fans at the scene continued to put pressure on the Pistons from afar, the effect was still minimal.

On the Pistons' side, Billups, who only needs single defense and singles, has also begun to show quasi-superstar-level strength, showing a big heart.

Billups shot more and more accurately, and soon knocked Chris Dujon down.

The Bulls re-replaced Ben Gordon, but it was just a defensive hole, a human punching bag.

When Billups showed the form of last year's Peyton game, Doon knew that this game was basically gone.

Of course, Doon didn't choose to give up on the game.

Since the offensive end can't be opened, then you can only strengthen the defense and take the initiative to defend against Billups.

But Rashid Wallace and Hamilton immediately stepped up and beat the bull to the ground in a way that blossomed inside and out.

91-73, the Bulls were guarded by the Pistons and scored 20 points in a single quarter.

Speaking of which, Doon didn't play badly tonight, shooting 8-of-19, 1-of-3 from three-point range, 5-of-7 from the free-throw line, and 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

Doon doesn't shoot well from the field, but his true shooting percentage is over 50 percent.

The problem is that the Bulls also made a lot of mistakes in passing in order to allow Doane to get the ball off.

Usually the Bulls have about 10 turnovers, but the number of turnovers in this game is as high as 18.

The extra seven or eight turnovers, not counting the points that were converted by chance, are basically worth six or seven points just when converted into ball possession.

After this battle, the Bulls can also sum up a lot of problems.

In the next game, the Pistons will return to play at home and will definitely defend Doane more tightly.

If the Bulls can't reduce passing errors and adopt a more secure way to get the ball to Doane, then the outcome of the loss is basically doomed.

And the Pistons used an infinite package to limit Doon's offense.

If the Bulls want to win, then it will be necessary for others to step up and score.

It's a pity that it's not so easy to find out the problem and solve it immediately.

After losing to G5, Scott Skyles and his team of assistant coaches tried to find a way overnight, and their hair was bald a lot, and they could only show Doon the video of the Bulls during Jordan's time.

The same Bulls played the Pistons, and the Pistons' defensive intensity was even greater back then than it is now.

But even so, Jordan was able to fight his way out of hand-to-hand combat.

Then it is not impossible for Doon to follow Jordan's method to solve the problem! At least that's what Scott Skyles and others think.

After receiving the video, Doon was quick to point out some problems, saying that he needed a shaft that could handle the ball to share the pressure of holding the ball, just like Pippen next to Jordan.

Dune knows very well in his heart that the peak Dior can't replace Pippen's role, and today's rookie Dior can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor and barely give it a try.

In addition to Dior, Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni also need to stay on the pitch and open up space for him.

After all, it was Prince and Hamilton who were the ones who wrapped Doon, and only if the Bulls shooters could shoot away could Doon be completely free.

Clearly, Doon, who has gained more than 100 years of racing experience, already knows how to deal with the Pistons.

However, Doon somewhat overestimated the Bulls' current configuration.

When Doon was in front and drove everyone's enthusiasm with offense, the Bulls Youth Army dared to fight.

However, Doon was strangled to death, the Bulls players on the court were leaderless, and their personal strength was really limited, so they had no confidence to play.

In addition, the series went to G6, and the Pistons took the lead to get the match point, and this game was played at the Palace of Auburn Hills, which was also important.

After the start of G6, the Pistons fought at home, and their morale was like a rainbow.

The Bulls didn't withstand the pressure, and Doon didn't have teammates around him who could really take on the heavy responsibility.

In the end, it was another crushing game, 76-99, the Bulls lost to the Pistons by 23 points, and in fact, in the third quarter, there was no suspense in the game.

In the fourth quarter, Doon also played for 4 minutes, but there was really no way to reverse the difference, so he left the game early.

Of course, the only good news was that Doon scored eight points in those four minutes.

At the end of the game, Doon scored 32 points on 12-of-27 shooting, 2-of-7 three-pointers, and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line.

For the season's finale, statistically speaking, Doon played okay.

And overall, Doon averaged 35.5 points per game in six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

This is also a unique performance in this year's Eastern and Western semi-finals.

As strong as Kobe, he also played a tough game in the division semifinals, and he also needed to rely on a lot of shots to win, but he still didn't average more than 30 points per game.

Doon can lead last season's lottery team to the Chicago Bulls against last season's Eastern Conference champion Detroit Pistons for six games, which is undoubtedly a skill.

"Doon, you're playing well, don't be frustrated that the playoffs are over.

You're a young team and you're improving all the time.

I'm sure the East next season will be more interesting because of you. ”

Maybe it's because I talked a few words in the finals last year.

Although Doon and Billups didn't talk much this season, at this time, Billups, who was a nodding friend, took the initiative to come to Doon and gave him a few words of encouragement.

After playing this series, Doon knew better that if he wants to compete for a championship next season, he must have an All-Star point guard, or point control.

Therefore, compared to a player like Loops who is at his peak and is not expensive, he has more ideas to recruit.

However, this kind of thing can't be said in public, and as the loser, Doon doesn't have the heart to stay in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena for long.

After hugging and saying goodbye to the other Pistons players, he quickly returned to the locker room.

"Brothers, in the history of our team, the Detroit Pistons have held us back again and again!

However, our predecessors did not collapse because of this, but got back on their feet again and again!

By learning the lessons of their failures, they become even stronger by defeating the Detroit Pistons until they are unbeatable!

Tonight, we lost to the Detroit Pistons!

But I promise you all that we will definitely be back here next year!

If we want to step on the highest throne again, we must step on the corpse of the Detroit Pistons again!

Our goal is not to win the Eastern Conference!

We've got to get back to being the Chicago Bulls and win that damn championship! ”

The game was lost, and Doon should have shut up.

Sometimes, however, grief can be turned into motivation.

In the coming summer, Doon's individual strength will not improve, but the Bulls can evolve into a true championship team by getting stronger with other players.

Doon also took advantage of the loss to the Pistons just tonight to set a goal that everyone must beat next season.

"Boss, I believe in you, we will make a comeback!"

"Boss, I promise you, I will practice well in the off-season to further improve my strength."

"Boss, I promise you that I won't hold you back any longer! I'm going to get stronger next season and I'll definitely help you! ”

Doon set up a hostile target, and the rest of the Bulls immediately joined in.

And because of the just-concluded series, Doon played too explosively, and others did play worse, so it is inevitable that there will be some self-blame at this time.

For Doon, it's a good thing that his teammates are responsible.

So he continued to motivate: "I believe in you! We're bound to make a comeback! I'm sure no team wants to meet us next season! ”
