"Doon, you seem to be getting stronger again?!"

After three months, Wade played against Doon again, and it was still obvious that Doon had made a lot of progress in projection.

Wade is sure that Dunn played so calmly tonight, not simply because he felt good, but because he knew that his strength had become stronger, so he was so confident.

Wade is also more aware of this situation.

After the baptism of the finals and the hard training in the summer, Wade can also clearly feel that with the increase in strength, his self-confidence has improved.

and progress in handling the ball as you gain experience in the game.

The hard work in the summer allowed Wade to make up for some technical deficiencies and shortcomings, and made Wade dare to play some games that he didn't dare to play last season.

And in his current state, Doon has obviously polished his skills completely and maturely, and he can attack anywhere at will.

In the past, although Doon could also shoot mid-range, if he didn't have the confidence to shoot the mid-range as accurately as under the basket, Doon would pass the ball more to his teammates under the basket and let his interior teammates finish.

Now because of this confidence and ability, before his physical strength is exhausted, he will take the initiative to take the ball and play alone and break the game by himself.

"People can improve! Dwyan, I see you're getting stronger, and I almost don't recognize you! ”

Doon and Wade exchanged business blows.

In fact, Doon performed well tonight because with the Heat's current defensive resources, there is nothing they can do about him.

With O'Neal in charge, the overall height of the Heat can't be considered too short, but O'Neal can't prevent it.

Then Doon gets rid of James Posey with a pick-and-roll, and then the next step is to enter Lilliputia.

Basketball is a game for big men, and when Doon shoots from the outside and has a clear height advantage, Doon naturally has to take advantage of the victory to chase and keep shooting.

Considering the stamina issue, Doon changed his defensive strategy and defensive goals for tonight ahead of schedule.

Because from the beginning of the first quarter, he stood on the wing to help defend, and Wade also took the initiative to reduce the number of times he attacked the basket because of Doon's help defense, and turned to make balls for other teammates.

Doon has reduced some of the running and physical confrontation of defensive ball carriers compared to the past, so the defensive end does not consume much energy.

Because of this, Doon can continue the feel of the first quarter, and in the second and third quarters, he will continue to rely on shooting to score efficiently.

And in the third quarter, O'Neal, who was physically exhausted, could not maintain the offensive efficiency of the first half.

This is equivalent to saying that the Bulls weakened O'Neal into Yao Ming with the help of fast breaks.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Heat's scoring pressure fell on Wade alone.

Wade burst some balls to teammates like White Chocolate and James Posey.

But tonight was unlucky, and their three-point shooting was mediocre, which didn't help Wade relieve the offensive pressure.

On the Bulls' side, under the leadership of Doon, they played well and vigorously.

With Doon hitting another mid-range shot, with more than two minutes left in the third quarter, Doon had already scored 40 points.

The Heat didn't stop Doane's idea of scoring high points and breaking records like the Pistons did.

It's just that the closer they get to the playoffs, the more Wade and O'Neal need to protect themselves and stay healthy as much as possible.

Although the Heat kept Antoine Walker on the court, Antoine Walker did not have a suitable helper around him, so he was quickly sanctioned by the Bulls forward group.

By the end of the third quarter, the Bulls had built a 14-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doon was on fire again, scoring 6 points in a row by breaking through, and the difference between the two teams was close to 20 points at one point.

However, the Heat played tough, Wade and O'Neal rested off the court, and Haslem and Antoine Walker played more and more vigorously on the court with a group of benches.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Heat actually relied on defense to chase back a few points.

As a result, Wade and O'Neal, who didn't want to lose, quickly returned to the court.

For this reason, the main players of the Bulls also had to return to the court and fight with the Heat for a few more minutes.

It wasn't until there were more than two minutes left in the game that the Heat disarmed and surrendered and withdrew all their main forces.

104-93, the Bulls won by 11 points and took revenge on the Heat.

As the big leader of the Bulls, Doon also defeated Wade and O'Neal in this round of brother basketball competition, with 51 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

However, Doon didn't get complacent for long, and after playing the Heat, the Bulls and his party immediately took a plane and moved to Washington because of the schedule.

Recent back-to-back victories over Eastern Conference contenders like the Pistons and Heat have made the Bulls somewhat complacent.

The back-to-back fixtures have also affected the players' form of play.

Doon had scored 51 points the night before, and it was normal for him to be a little sluggish this night.

Doon, who was not physically strong, reduced the number of shots and the number of basket attacks, and finally scored 26 points on 21 shots, which was not too inefficient.

But because of his teammates' CBA, he finally had a little regret and lost the game.

Fortunately, the Bulls have a complete roster, and now they are in the second half of the regular season.

Bulls players know that they are expected to equal or even break the Bulls' all-time and league records of 72 wins.

So one by one, after a little indulgence, they soon began to work seriously again, train hard, and treat the game sincerely.

The Pacers, Hornets, Celtics, Magic, and the Bulls restarted a four-game winning streak before April arrived.

And throughout March, Doon also relied on the team's 14-2 record to once again win the honor of Eastern Conference Player of the Month.

Of course, Doon scored 50+ points twice and led the team to defeat strong opponents like the Pistons and Heat, and Doane must be deserved as the best player of the month.

Fast forward to April, and the Bulls only have 11 regular season games left this season, two of which will be against the Heat, and the rest will not be a tough game.

However, the comeback of the Heat quickly taught the Bulls a lesson.

In order to successfully defend the championship, the Heat obviously need to deal with the Bulls in the East in advance this season.

After half a month of contemplation and careful study, the Heat still came up with a new set of defensive strategies.

The Heat used Wade to delay Doane's breakaway and defended sideways rather than frontally.

The purpose of this move is to prevent Doon from passing the ball to his teammates inside and under the basket by hitting the ground.

At the same time, the Heat will also use O'Neal, Mourning to block Doon's shot in the front, or intercept Doon's pass.

The purpose of the two-pronged combination of internal and external clamping is to force Doon to pass the ball to the outside line, betting that other players will not feel good.

Doon tried to break the game on his own, but it was a bit of a piston bag, and the longer he played, the less efficient it became.

In order to be able to win, Doon had to surrender the ball and trust his teammates.

In fact, the Bulls' outside shooting feel is fine, but it happened to catch up with the Heat's side to explode, and then he was educated by the Heat.

Fortunately, the Bulls coaching staff also thought of a way for Dhorn, who would play without the ball when he played the Heat in the future, and shoot directly after receiving the ball.

The Heat's inside and outside attack on Doon takes time to arrange, and they must wait for their interior teammates to pull out from the interior to defend.

At the same time, the wing players have to shrink the basket to make up for the void that O'Neal or Mourning have come out of the basket.

Therefore, as long as Doane touches the ball for a short time and shoots quickly enough, the Heat will not be able to form an effective limit on Doane.

After finding the right way, the Bulls quickly tried again with the Heat and pulled back another game.

Just when the Bulls were about to end their winning streak and leave the regular season games, the Bulls were accidentally overturned by the Nets.

The Nets are also one of the strongest teams in the East, but they don't have the strength to compete for the championship.

Fortunately, after losing to the Nets, the Bulls lost 9 regular season games.

This means that the big one is coming!

73 wins, record-breaking!
