Chapter 212: Playoffs three-point record, advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals

At the Indianapolis Conseco Arena, the Pacers face the Bulls in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs G3.

Originally, the Pacers also wanted to take advantage of the home court to win back as much as possible.

But the Bulls were so strong that they were overwhelmed throughout the game.

In the fourth quarter, when the Pacers were about to be overwhelmed, Peja finally toughened up and stepped up to score for two consecutive rounds.

Immediately afterwards, O'Neal Jr. also stepped up and helped the Pacers stabilize the situation.

However, at this time, Doon took advantage of the cover to catch the ball and hit his 10th three-pointer of the game.

In terms of the point difference alone, it is only 14 points, and there is still half a quarter in the fourth quarter, and the Pacers are working hard, and it is not impossible to narrow the difference and win.

However, Doon's three-point shot directly broke the record for the number of three-pointers hit in a single playoff game after more than ten years.

The pressure this puts on the Pacers players is certainly not trivial.

Not to mention, tonight Doon didn't just score with three-pointers, drive layups, make a mid-range pull, and make free throws......

Doon, who hasn't finished the fourth quarter, has scored 49 points!

Doon alone scored more points than the other Bulls players combined!

Watch as Doon shoots three points and return to defense as quickly as before.

The Pacers players and fans at the scene had to start to lose heart, even despair.

"Can't win, can't win at all!"

"We've defended to the limit, but we still can't stop Doon from scoring!"

"Doon's scoring ability is too strong! He didn't win the scoring title simply because he was still the best passer in the league! ”

Maybe Doon played too explosively, or maybe the Pacers faced up to the gap between them.

Not long after Doon hit the record-breaking three-pointer, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle called a timeout, then pulled his main force and surrendered.

On the Bulls' side, Scott Skeles chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to make Doon's stats look better, and after a timeout, he continued to keep Doon on the court.

In the words of Scott Skyles: "You should score 50 points tonight, celebrate with everyone!" ”

Doon is already 49 points, and it will certainly not be difficult to score another point or two.

And there is a big gap between 50+ and 49 points in the playoffs.

Since Doon broke the single-game record of three points in the playoffs tonight, it is better to break Doon's own playoff scoring record as well.

For Scott Skeyles' suggestion, Doon did not refuse.

After restarting the game, in less than half a minute, he relied on a catch-and-shoot mid-distance to score the 50th and 51st points of the game.

After scoring 50+, Doon quickly took the initiative to foul and went down to rest.

And Scott Skels also took advantage of the Pacers' free throws to replace Byron Davis and Tyson Chandler with rotation players on the second and third lines.

After the Bulls' main team went down, Danny Granger on the Pacers' side didn't seem ready to admit defeat, relying on talent to punch heavily in garbage time in the fourth quarter.

However, Danny Granger had just broken out and was taught a lesson by Dior.

Like Doon, Dior is also the 03 platinum generation! Next year is Dior's contract year, and the Bulls will most likely not be able to give Dior the big contract he wants.

So, if you want to raise your value and get a big contract in a year, then help the Bulls win a championship.

It's important to be an important rotation player with a championship ring, a championship puzzle.

As a backup forward for the Bulls, Dio didn't have much playing time before.

Having gained more time and more possession in garbage time tonight, Dio naturally did his best and then taught Danny Granger a lesson.

117-101, the Bulls finally won the G3 victory by a huge margin of 16 points.

As a result, the Bulls have already achieved match points in the first round of the playoffs.

Although it is not possible to sit back and relax, at least the nervous Bulls players can breathe a little relief and relax.

"Doon, congratulations on winning tonight.

Congratulations on breaking the single-game three-point shooting record that has been in the playoffs for many years!

We all know that shooting three-pointers in the playoffs tends to be more difficult than in the regular season.

Is there anything you'd like to say to the fans about tonight's performance? ”

After the game, Doon was immediately invited by ESPN reporters.

'I have to thank my team-mates, they helped me a lot and made the game easier.

You know, I hit seven three-pointers in the first half, but it stalled in the third quarter.

It was my team-mates who helped me, they gave me a lot of trust and got the ball into my hands.

I'm happy to be able to regain my touch and even happier to win tonight with my team-mates.

And all this is more meaningful than breaking records!

Because even if I can't break the record tonight, I have a chance to do it in the next few seasons.

In my opinion, hitting nine three-pointers in a single game is not too difficult.

Just shoot more than two three-pointers per quarter!

There are many players in the league who have the ability to do the same.

But it's a rare thing to be able to shoot multiple three-pointers and win games and win the playoffs. ”

With a mission of 73 wins, the pressure accumulated on Doon is not small.

Just by breaking the single-game three-point record in the playoffs tonight, a wave of fans in Versailles across the United States was born.

Sure enough, after pretending to be forced, Doon was much more relaxed.

Back in the locker room, similar to the record-breaking regular season, Doon's teammates were ready in the locker room.

As soon as Doon entered, he was baptized by an overwhelming amount of champagne bubbles.

After yelling and venting his emotions with the rest of his teammates, Doon went to take a shower, then change his clothes and go to the regular post-game interview before returning to the hotel.

Comparatively speaking, this post-match interview with Doon was much more formal.

Dozens of media outlets at the scene refused to let Doon go easily, but they were helpless about Doon who was an official.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is May 1st.

In order to keep the main team healthy and experiment with more possibilities for the playoffs, the Bulls have come up with a five-up, five-down rotation.

The walker also knows that the bull has to be forgiving and forgiving.

So he no longer chose to fight hard with the Bulls defensively, but focused on offensive basketball to establish more lead on the Bulls' second lineup as much as possible.

However, the strength of the Bulls' second lineup should not be underestimated, and after the first half, the Pacers only built a six-point lead.

In this case, the bull had to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

Scott Skels first adopted a rotation plan in the third quarter to see who feels better and who goes off.

The Pacers slowly widened the gap with this.

Immediately afterward, the Bulls sent young players from the starting lineup to work with the second-team players to put pressure on the Pacers.

Under the careful design of Scott Skels, although the Pacers should have won the first round of the playoffs in G4, the main players played a lot of time, basically around 40 minutes.

It was also designed in advance, and after the Bulls returned to the Chicago Union, they immediately showed their fangs, not their horns, and then charged the Pacers.

How can the old and weak army of the Pacers beat the bulls who are waiting for work?

93-104, even though the main team clocked in in the third quarter, the Bulls still beat the Pacers by 11 points.

So far, the Bulls have successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a score of 4-1!
