April 27, Consecco Arena, Indianapolis.

"Brothers, don't relax too much, away games tend to be harder than at home!

Don't forget, what we're aiming for this year!

In order to win the championship, we have to stay healthy and prepare for the next round faster. ”

Before the start of the game, Doon warned his teammates in the away dressing room not to be too arrogant and relaxed tonight.

Although the Bulls are stronger than the Pacers, they are not holding two wins, or they despise opponents like the Pacers.

Over the years, in the NBA playoffs, there have been times when a strong team has a huge advantage, but suddenly it is defeated by a weak team.

This year, the Bulls are saddled with 73 wins, and Doon not only has to prevent the overall runner-up situation of 73 wins, but also prevent the situation of 73 wins being blacked out by eight.

Therefore, the first round of the playoffs must be cautious.

The other players of the Bulls naturally don't quite understand Doane's thoughts at the moment.

However, this did not delay them from believing in Doon and choosing to stand with Doon.

The game started quickly, and tonight Doon immediately asked for the ball from the first quarter to try to suppress the momentum of the Pacers' comeback from the home court against the Bulls.

Doon can allow the Bulls to play the ball in the series, but only if the Bulls win tonight! Doon must guarantee a 3-0 lead and be invincible.

"Terrible, isn't it? Our interior defense was useless, and it was directly penetrated by Doon alone! ”

Pacers fans at the scene watched Doon come up and break into the restricted area in a row, either attacking the basket himself or assisting his teammates.

In just 2 minutes, he helped the Bulls score 8 points, and his mentality suddenly cracked.

To some extent, seeing Doon's performance on TV is often not as shocking as it is live.

Even if the scene is due to seating and vision problems, it is not as clear as on the TV.

However, this situation of being in the middle of the crowd, infected and assimilated by the fear and despair of other fans, will make people feel more clearly the power and horror of Doon.

"Why can't we be like the Detroit Pistons and trap Doon?"

Seeing the score difference getting bigger and bigger, many fans at the scene were puzzled.

During the regular season, although the Bulls won 73 wins, it does not mean that there is no one in the league and is absolutely invincible.

Whether it's the Heat or the Pistons, they can play back and forth with the Bulls.

The Heat is because O'Neal's shooting rate is really high, and once someone on the outside explodes a little more, the Bulls will be overwhelmed by the excessive defensive pressure.

The Pistons, on the other hand, used defense to limit Doon and turned the Bulls into a mediocre team.

In the eyes of Pacers fans, the same defensive powerhouse, the Pacers can undoubtedly adopt a method similar to the Pistons, limiting Doon to death through Jordan's rule.

However, neither tonight nor the two playoff games that have been played before, Carlisle has not adopted such a defensive strategy.

"If we can't solve the offensive problem, we can't win on defense alone!"

Carlisle naturally knew the answer in his heart, judging from the results of the G1 game, he knew that he could not win by drawing defensive resources to limit Doon.

After all, the Bulls sent the second lineup to play with the Pacers' starting lineup, but the Pacers only chased a few points, and then they couldn't play.

It was the situation that G1, the main force playing as a substitute, could not open up the point difference, so that Carlisle did not dare to rashly wrap up Doon.

After all, Doon is not without teammates, and Byron Davis is also an All-Star level player, and he is also a point guard who can pass the ball.

Taking a step back, even if Byron Davis doesn't fight, Doon goes to the bottom corner to smoke, the Pacers send two people over to serve tea and pour water, and the Bulls play four or three, it's not that the Pacers can withstand it.

In that case, the walker might as well die standing up! Playing and losing normally, the Pacers are decent at best.

Applying Jordan's rule to Doon, but there is no way to win, and it may even be beaten even worse, then even the last face will be gone.

Therefore, before using Jordan's Rule, Carlisle must first see when O'Neal Jr., Martial Saint Jackson, Peja and others will come to see if they can overtake the score or bite the score.

However, before someone from the Pacers' side could feel it, Doon's touch suddenly exploded.

With just over two minutes to play in the second quarter, Doon was originally trying to protect Ben Gordon.

When he receives a ball that Ben Gordon can't handle, Doon will immediately throw it and use it to impact the Pacers' defense.

Who knows, Doon just threw a few random shots, and in just one minute, he threw two three-pointers in a row.

And back in the first quarter, Doon had already made two three-pointers!

This moment reminded Doon that the NBA playoffs three-point shooting record was 9!

Doon didn't care about winning for the sake of the record, but now he feels good, and the three-point shot is indeed a relatively efficient means of scoring.

Therefore, Doon took advantage of the fact that the score was still in the lead, so he decided to give it a try.

Ben Gordon saw Doon take the initiative to ask for the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Doon.

I didn't want to think that two seconds later, the basketball flew into the basket from outside Doon's hand outside the three-point line.

"Fake, how can you have such a good feel?"

Carlisle frowned and cursed, revealing the classic expression of a disguised monster.

The next second, Carlisle immediately called a timeout.

Doon feels so good! He must not be allowed to vote like this.

Judging from the first two games, if Doane doesn't exert his strength, the Bulls can win the Pacers by more than ten or twenty points, and once Doane exerts his strength, then it is possible to double or triple the point difference.

"Stephen, I know you're tired, but we only have your size to match Doon.

Danny, your next task is to work with Stephen and limit Doon's goals.

If Doon continues to shoot three-pointers, you can break it early with a bigger move. ”

As a last resort, Carlisle could only offer Jordan's rule to Doon in advance.

At the same time, he also entrusted Danny Granger, who has excellent physical talent, with a heavy responsibility, to help defend and contain Doon, and interfere and consume Doon as much as possible.

After the timeout, the game resumed.

Faced with the Pacers' bag, Doon didn't pay much attention and continued to ask his teammates for the ball, but this time he played without the ball.

Tyson Chandler's coverage was of high quality, and Doon slipped around the two corners and still had a lot of chances to catch the ball for three-pointers in the bottom corner.

And Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni and others can also take advantage of Doon's opportunity to take away outside defenders without the ball, shoot as open as possible, and hit more three-pointers.

Of course, only after Doon hit a catch-and-shoot three-pointer can Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni and others play comfortably.

Therefore, as soon as Doon came up, he decisively asked for the ball.

After the timeout, Doon's hand did cool down a little, but fortunately, Doon's three-point attribute was basically full.

Nash's three-point game is top-notch, not to mention the addition of Curry's template.

Even if Doon hasn't fully digested it, at least he has added a lot of ability to catch three-pointers.

With Doon's 1-of-3 three-pointer back up after the timeout, the Pacers naturally couldn't defend it even more.

And when Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni hit three-pointers from the outside, the defensive pressure on Doon's side was actually eased a bit.

"It's a record breaker again!"

The fourth quarter was only halfway through, and before the game was over, the on-site commentators exclaimed!
