Chapter 228: Let go, 24 points in a single quarter of the finals!
Without warning, Doon's anger startled the bull up and down.
Scott Skels was about to use the timeout to talk to the Bulls' players, and after seeing Doane angry, he was also timid and didn't dare to say a word.
By the time Doon finished venting his emotions, the atmosphere on the Bulls' side was still very stiff.
Obviously, no one dared to talk back to Doon at this time.
Until Doon took the initiative to say: "Wake up, we are playing in the finals!" Who's going to win that damn championship with me? ”
Byron Davis and others spoke one after another: "I do." ”
"Boss, we'll defend well."
"I was too relaxed before, but not anymore, I'll stay focused!"
Doon woke up the other four Bulls starters with a scolding call, as well as a wake-up call to the other bench players who hadn't yet gotten playing time in the Finals.
For this round of the finals, the Bulls are only allowed to succeed, not to lose.
Whoever is unwilling to work hard to play hard, then there is no need to play on the court, and sit honestly off the court.
Doon had already said the cruel words ahead, and the other players of the Bulls naturally regained their spirits and began to play seriously.
The timeout was over and the game resumed.
The Bulls players are in a new spirit, but they have strengthened their defense, but they are a little timid on the offensive end.
Doon also realized that maybe the scolding just now was a little loud and scared his teammates.
So in this case, Doon had no other way but to take the ball and attack it himself.
However, after Doane got the ball at the top of the arc, the Mavericks directly wrapped it up from the outside, and it was obvious that the Mavericks had also studied the playoff videos of the previous rounds of the Bulls, and would not easily give Doane a chance to shoot.
However, Dawn knew that there were tigers in the mountains and favored the tigers, so he called two covers in a row, and after getting rid of Josh Howard, he directly pulled out three points.
Doon is not without strong shooting ability, he didn't let go of the pick before, he simply wanted to drive his teammates, and at the same time, he also saved his physical strength, and waited until the critical moment to shoot.
But tonight, the Bulls were behind at the start.
The other teammates were scolded by Doon again, and they haven't recovered yet.
At this moment, Doon knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't let go of the pick and chase the score back, tonight's game might be suffered.
Brush –
Although it was a strong shot, Doon had it as soon as he made a shot.
It can only be said that the Mavericks' outside height and defense are a bit problematic, as long as they get rid of Josh Howard with the help of cover, the rest of Terry and Adrian Griffin can't interfere with Doon's shooting.
In addition, the Mavericks' interior defense is also relatively average, although Nowitzki's talent is very good, and his long hands and feet are very suitable for helping defense, but he does not have the ability to sweep from the interior like Garnett.
The rest of Dampier is also squatting on the inside, wrestling with Tyson Chandler constantly, and there is no way to get out.
In this case, Doon's outside shot after covering is unlikely to be interfered with.
As long as the feel is not too bad, you can pick it up.
"It's really rare for Doon to be on full fire in the first quarter!"
"That's what the best player in the league should be!"
"No one in the Dallas Mavericks can limit Doon because Doon is the best player in the league!"
"Doon is Michael on the three-point line!"
Since the first three-point shot, Doon has started to perform on the court, constantly making strong three-pointers from the outside, and the Mavericks have been defeated.
Even Nowitzki is taking the ball in the low post and constantly attacking, but a two-point shot is one point less than a three-pointer.
After Doon shot 4-of-5 three-pointers, Jr. Avery Johnson also had to call a timeout, hoping to cool down Doon's hot hand.
"Devon, next we need you to keep up with Doon, keep pestering him, and consume him!
Jerry, the team needs your defense, it needs your offense.
Josh, you have to be prepared to help defend Doon.
Guys, we have to limit Doon's score! ”
Little General Avery Johnson led the team to the finals for the first time, and naturally wanted to produce results and bring a championship to the Mavericks.
In order to be able to beat the Bulls, the best thing to do is to limit Doon's scoring and break the Bulls' morale.
For this reason, the junior general Avery Johnson saw that the starting lineup could not prevent Doon, and he had no head iron, so he directly replaced Devin Harris, the fastest in the league, and tried to squeeze through the cover, consume Doon at all times, and prevent Doon from making easy shots.
In addition, Starkerhouse, the successor of the original Jordan, was also sent to the court.
Although Stackhouse has now started to decline from his prime, his physical fitness is okay.
It is extremely unlikely that he wants to defend Doon, but the attitude of the game is not to say, and he is very positive on both offensive and defensive ends.
And after sending Harris and Stackhouse, the Mavericks had to free Josh Howard to make up for the lack of firepower in Terry's game.
So, Jr. Avery Johnson sent Josh Howard to help defend instead of leading Doon.
Judging from previous performances, Josh Howard is not good at squeezing screens, and the effectiveness of defending Doon is not ideal.
Now having Josh Howard to help defend might also be a bit of a distraction for Doane's shooting.
Junior General Avery Johnson arranged for Doon, which was not untargeted, but after the timeout, Doon was still holding the ball in the high post.
As it turned out, the Mavericks couldn't stop Doon by relying on a bunch of small men alone.
Doon didn't combine the shots and passes as he used to, and he constantly ignored the defense and threw the basketball into the basket one after another by relying on strong three-point shots.
Before the first quarter was over, Doon had already made six three-pointers and scored 18 points.
If it goes on like this, it is not impossible for Doon to break the single-game three-point shooting record set by himself not long ago tonight.
After confirming that the small guard really can't limit Doon's shots, the Mavericks can only replace more forwards, even interior players, to limit Doon's shots.
Doon is not a fool either, he directly changes his style of play, and after covering, he directly breaks through and kills inside.
Harris is worthy of being the Guinness Book of Records, and Doon can use explosive power to keep up while holding the ball to kill the inside.
However, Doon has a lot of experience in breaking through, and the breakthrough is not just based on speed and explosiveness, but with a lot of skill.
Harris was halfway stuck by Doon and couldn't get past Doon, intercept Doon under the basket, or cut the ball from Doon's back to disrupt Doon's dribble.
When Doon squeezed Harris to the basket, Nowitzki wanted to help defend, but because the position in front of him was occupied by Harris, he couldn't help the defense.
And Dampier should not only pay attention to Doon, but also Tyson Chandler, and can only sit back and watch Doon hit the board and score the ball when distracted.
In the face of Doon, who went all out in the first quarter, the Mavericks simply had no choice.
Before Doane dropped the towel, the Mavericks still had a six-point lead, but by the end of the first quarter, the score was 29-33, and the Bulls had a four-point lead.
It is worth mentioning that Doon shot 8-of-11 in the first quarter, 6-of-8 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring 24 points!
One point away from equaling the Smile Assassin's record of 25 points in a single quarter in the Finals.
"Doon, this guy! It's a pity that we could have gone on to create a second Lakers dynasty! ”
O'Neal saw that Doon was playing so well, and deliberately said loudly in the box.
Smack-
When O'Neill finished speaking, he heard a heavy slamming of the door.
"Hahaha, at a young age, you urinate frequently and urgently?" O'Neill laughed like a fat man of three hundred pounds.
