Doon made a plan to shoot immediately after receiving the ball and bet on the feel.

But the Heat, on their side, didn't give Doane any chance to catch the ball at all.

Wade and James Posey flanked Doon one after the other, and Doon kept running without the ball, but there was always someone in front of him.

After all, this kind of half-court three-point shot, except for a very few stars in the league such as Doon, Kobe, Nowitzki, etc., who are somewhat sure of throwing, no matter how others shoot, even if they shoot a hundred times, they may not be able to shoot once.

This means that as long as Dhorn is killed, the Bulls will not be able to use the remaining three seconds to score.

It was also because Doon was prevented from death, and this ball was finally ended by Roel Deng receiving the ball in front of the court and trying to turn over and jump shot.

But because the intention of the long pass of the baseline serve is more obvious, and in order to save time, the force when initiating is also relatively large, the momentum of the ball is too great, and the speed of the ball is very fast.

Luol Deng was distracted by Antoine Walker when he received the ball in front of court, but he couldn't hold the ball down, and the ball flew out of bounds after touching his hand, and the game time was just out of play.

At 57-63, the Bulls entered the second half with a six-point lead.

However, against a championship team like the Heat, a 6-point lead is really not much.

After halftime, the Bulls and Heat coincidentally sent their main players at the beginning of the third quarter.

The Heat replaced James Posey with Antoine Walker, and there is no doubt that the Heat are going to give it their all to win tonight's game in the third quarter.

Although the Bulls are still the starting lineup, as soon as the third quarter comes up, Doane asks for the ball in the low post.

The Heat knew that after halftime, Doon was full of physical strength, so they naturally didn't dare to let Doon play alone.

Therefore, the Heat can only pinch Doon, who has fallen well in the low post.

Byron Davis and Tyson Chandler took the opportunity to play pick-and-rolls in the high post, while Roel Deng and Josh Smith on the wings kept looking for opportunities to cut in the air or catch the ball from the outside to continue to score.

In fact, after adapting in the first half, the Heat's defense in the second half was okay.

Wade can retract to the basket at any time, and even if Roel Deng is empty, it will be difficult to effectively shoot from beyond the three-point line.

However, the Bulls relied on Du's gravity to patiently play pick-and-roll and passing, and the Heat defenders had to run back and forth, and then fell into a situation of exhaustion and rapid physical exhaustion.

It is precisely because of this that O'Neal still has the physical strength to play alone in the low post at the beginning of the third quarter to help the Heat erase the point difference.

But after more than 5 minutes in the third quarter, the Heat didn't feel good on the outside, and Antoine Walker couldn't get back to the good feeling of the first half.

Seeing that no one in the Heat could shoot three-pointers, the Bulls simply put on a joint defense and shrank under the basket in order to limit Wade's scoring.

In this situation, no matter how strong Wade's personal ability is, he can't rely on blocking and speed to penetrate the Bulls' interior line.

A lot of the time they had to split the ball to Antoine Walker, or pass to O'Neal who was going down, and unless there was little time left to attack, he would make a mid-range shot.

In other words, although Wade is a physical monster, the decline in physical strength will inevitably lead to a decrease in his shooting feel.

Wade is self-aware, and although he has practiced it, it is not enough to use it as a regular skill.

Once the physical strength declines and the hand feeling is not good, the blind strong throw will inevitably lead to the situation of four backs and three irons.

The Heat lacked Wade and O'Neal's scoring, and the performance on the offensive end naturally stagnated all of a sudden.

And at this time, Doon, with his excellent game reading skills, realized that the time was ripe for the game.

So he started to run without the ball, from the low post to the wing or high post, catching and shooting one or two balls, which formed some interference with the Heat players' concentration on the game when defending.

At the same time, Doon stepped up to score, which is undoubtedly a kind of pressure on the Heat players.

However, when the pressure of the game did not reach the top of Mount Tai, the physical strength of the game was about to be exhausted.

More than 7 minutes into the third quarter, O'Neal was caught by the Bulls with a lack of physical strength and unstable free throws, and he made 6 free throws in just 2 minutes, but only hit 2.

Big Van Gundy also realized that continuing to keep O'Neal on the court would seriously drag down the Heat's offensive and defensive ends, so he removed O'Neal.

After O'Neal came off the court, Doon ran back to the high post to attack with the ball.

At the same time, against the Heat's weak interior line, Tyson Chandler and Josh Smith, who can hold on a little longer before they get off the court, have a very big physical advantage.

And in order to free Doon, the Bulls also replaced Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni in advance.

The Heat initially chose to apply Jordan's rule to Doane, restricting Doane's offense with the ball.

But after Andres Nocioni received a pass to Doon and hit a three-pointer in quick succession, the Heat had to make a choice.

Either be singled to death by Doon or shot to death by the Bulls shooters!

Before the Bulls' outside shooters collectively decline, it will be difficult for the Heat to overtake the score with conventional means and win the game.

After being faced with such a choice, the Heat could only choose to let Doane play alone with the ball.

The Eastern Conference Finals is more than just one game, and in the series, there is nothing wrong with draining the physical strength of the opponent's big leader.

"Kill crazy, kill crazy, Doon's offensive state is incredible!"

"That's the strength of the two-time MVP, no one can stop Doon from scoring tonight, not even the referee and the head coach!"

"Doon wants to finish the game early! Good night, Miami Heat! ”

"Only when you really go all out to defend Doon can you know how terrible Doon's strength is!"

With Doon scoring 13 points in a row in the final minutes of the third quarter with 5-of-7 shooting and 3-of-4 free throws, the game's score difference was suddenly widened.

Bulls fans at the scene saw that the Bulls, under the leadership of Doon, had a very good hope of winning the Eastern Conference Finals G1, and naturally they did not hesitate to praise any words and offer their loyalty and knees to Doon.

And it was not only the more than 20,000 fans who knelt to watch the game, but also the millions of cloud fans in the Chicago area who usually didn't watch the game much tonight and simply came to join in the fun, and they were also impressed by Doon's explosive performance.

"Isn't basketball a game of lifting the ball high and throwing it into the basket to shoot more than anyone else? How can it compare to the fierce competition of rugby? ”

"Oh my God, so good at basketball? Who is this gringo number 31? I want to know his name! ”

"This No. 31 is too strong, isn't it? How could he be so fast, how could he jump so high, how could no one stop him? ”

"Why is the Chicago Bulls the most playful of a gringo? But he's really strong, and everyone else looks like an amateur in front of him. ”

As the game progressed, more and more cloud fans saw how powerful Doon was.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doon continued to attack the Heat bench lineup, and in just 3 minutes, Doon scored another 6 points to help the Bulls consolidate their advantage.

Because the point difference was firmly in double digits, the Heat had to send all the main players again to see if they could chase the score back.

However, the Bulls won steadily and chose to take the initiative to lower the pace of the game.

At the same time, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong and can win tonight, Doon did not plan to rest after coming on the court in the fourth quarter.

As Barkley said - don't replace me, I have more time to rest after I die!

Doon is not tired, although the physical attributes are almost full, but Doon is also a human being, and after playing on the court for a long time, he will also be tired.

However, Doon knows very well in his heart that the main players of the Heat are not tired?

Look at Wade and O'Neal, one by one, like they were fished out of the water, Wiggins had to sweat when he saw it.

In an important game like the Eastern Conference Finals, teams that are evenly matched basically compete for willpower and basic skills until the fourth quarter.

Doon's physical and technical flaws have long been gone, and now he has to make up for the mental level, which is the real superstar who can play a tough game in the playoffs!

Doon is not going to be the star of the house, score in the single digits in a crucial game, and then be too scared to fight again.

In Bryant's words – I'd rather shoot 0-for-30 than 0-of-9. Once you finish with 0 of 9 shots, it means that you have been defeated by your own inner cowardice!

Doon has reached the Eastern Conference Finals, so naturally he will not stand still.

In order to reach the finals, for the first big championship of his career, Doon also entered the state in advance and went all out!

At Doon's insistence, the Bulls players also showed a stronger desire to win and showed a better level of play.

With the Bulls unanimously and with all their might, the Heat failed to play an effective counterattack.

The fourth quarter lasted more than 7 minutes, and the margin on the court remained at about 15 points.

O'Neal, who has played 32 minutes tonight, said that he was tired, and Big Van Gundy had to withdraw O'Neal in advance for the sake of the next series.

Wade and the rest of the main players played two more minutes on the court, but they still couldn't close the gap.

For the sake of the next game, Big Van Gundy could only surrender in advance, and after calling a timeout, Wade and the others were withdrawn.

Seeing this, Scott Skels also immediately withdrew Doon and the others.

The consumption of the main players of the Bulls tonight is not small, and Doon and others urgently need to rest!

In fact, in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls have to think about one problem.

Is it worth it to fight everything to reach the finals, but to pay the price of injuring one or two key players?

For the rest of the team, it's definitely worth it! Almost half of the teams in the NBA don't win a championship, and the division championship is also an honor for them.

Even the Chicago Bulls, who win an Eastern Conference championship, are eligible to host a championship flag-raising ceremony.

However, for the Bulls, who won 73 in the regular season this year, if they can't win the championship, it will be more than worth the loss!

After all, once under the attention of tens of millions of fans in the United States such as the finals, it became the runner-up with 73 wins, which was naturally a big loss.

In particular, the 72-win championship was also set by the predecessors in the history of the Bulls!

Fans will inevitably compare the Chicago Bulls of the two eras side by side.

And the team that fails to win the championship will undoubtedly become the biggest loser.

Getting back to business, in the Eastern Conference Finals G1, 103-115, the Bulls beat the Heat by 12 points at home.

It is also because from the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls were in the lead, and the Bulls showed strong enough strength against defending champions like the Heat.

And this is also in line with the expectations of fans across the United States for the 73-win Bulls, so after the East Finals G1 was played, more and more unknown cloud fans turned their attention to this year's Eastern Conference Finals.

Subsequently, the number of Doon's fans also skyrocketed, but the sales of jerseys and shoes did not increase suddenly.

If you want to convert high-mouthed cloud fans into financially powerful winning fans, it obviously needs to be catalyzed and processed by the championship.

Although Doon already has a championship, there is still a big difference between the third champion and the boss champion.

Not to mention, this time this year, Doon is not only about winning the championship, but also about making history!

However, the Heat also know this, so they want to stop Doane and stop the Bulls even more!

"Before you came, we were already champions!"

Some Heat fans are unwilling to lose and still put on the pride of the defending champions.

In their opinion, before Doon led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, their home team had already won the championship by virtue of its status as an Eastern team.

If we can beat the 73-win Bulls to reach the finals this year, then basically a second consecutive championship is secure.

The Bulls are first in the regular season, so what is it that has the strength to beat the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals and not win this year?

In other words, after you leave, we're still the champions!

Being able to say such things to two-time MVP Doon and Doon fans and kick their noses in the face, Heat fans feel that they will definitely be very happy.

However, Doon quickly told them with practical actions: "Don't daydream! ”

On May 25, the Bulls and the Heat's Eastern Conference Finals G2 started again.

The Heat obviously attached great importance to Doon in G1, and tried to limit Doon almost all the time, but in the end, Doon was killed by 47 points alone!

In just two days, the Heat coaching staff thought about it, but they still didn't think of how to limit Doon.

Because Doon has no shortcomings in terms of technique, and there are no shortcomings in terms of physical talent.

In other words, there is no way to defend with conventional means, there is no way to target.

It's like no matter how bad Jordan plays, he is just being defended as Kobe.

If you want to prevent Jordan from winning the championship, you either play a black hand like a bad boy of the Pistons, or you rely on the referee to collect black money and blow the black whistle.

Doon is a Chinese player, and he is also the prince and shareholder of Nike, not to mention encountering a black whistle, and it is already good if he is not questioned by the opponent.

As for being offended and abolished by opponents? Doon's game experience accumulated from dozens of templates is not an ornament.

Not to mention, there are many old ballwards like Malone and Barkley. So, how could Doon possibly suffer on the court?

Because of this, Doon can't be restricted at all.

And after obtaining the Curry template, Doon, who has no shortcomings in offensive skills, will be more stable in the playoffs today than in the previous regular season!

94 to 103, after the G1 battle, the consumption of the Heat and the Bulls is not small, so the score of G2 has declined to a certain extent.

But in the end, the Bulls won the G2 victory by virtue of the home court advantage and the 40+ high score scored again by virtue of Doon!

In other words, with the name and attention of 73 wins to reach the Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls players are still a little under pressure.

However, with the first two home games won steadily, the two teams moved to Miami, and the pressure of the Eastern Conference Finals was also transferred to the Heat.
