Chapter 255: Night of Records, advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals and face the Cavaliers

Time came to May 1 in a blink of an eye, after the Bulls won away from G3 and played a tacit game in G4, the players of the Bulls and Magic returned to the Chicago Union Center.

It is worth mentioning that G3 played half the game, and the Magic side was completely unable to hold back.

Howard realized that he couldn't beat the Bulls at all, and he also chose to play badly, took the initiative to ask for the ball with his back in the low post, regardless of whether the team lived or died, insisted on playing alone, and brushed up more scoring data.

Because of this, the Bulls won an unprecedented victory in G3, winning the game by a huge margin of 49 points, 121-72.

It was also the young players of the Bulls who did not know the importance of the attack, and thus created a classic battle with the fourth-largest point difference in the playoffs.

Of course, in a few years, it may slip to fifth or even eighth place.

In other words, it was also G3 that won too simply, and Scott Skels, who finished G3, suddenly came under pressure.

In order to complete the boss's task, Scott Skyles can only become a tactical ghost in G4, and then constantly pretend to be stupid.

The good thing is that the Bulls know what to do, and they've been through it several times last season, so they know what it's all about.

Isn't it just who feels good and who ends?

For the main players, G4 is a meaningless game, so there is nothing wrong with putting on the hard play, doing your job and then resting.

However, many rotation players on the Bulls team are not so particular.

Of course, there are two ways to do this.

Either it's new and doesn't know what's going on yet.

Either that's considering that the contract year is coming and that it's about to be renewed, you have to take any opportunity to play better in the playoffs.

There is no doubt that Doon is their role model.

In his first year as a rookie, Doon seized every opportunity in the playoffs and played as a star player.

It was also because of this that he was traded to the Chicago Bulls, and then became the boss of the team and played well in the NBA.

It was also because the rotation players had their own ideas that Scott Skels was forced to call out all the timeouts in his hands before the end of the third quarter.

It can only be said that the emperor lives up to his wishes.

also relied on Scott Skyles' best cooperation, the Bulls played a tacit game with the Magic when the main players basically only played two and a half quarters.

If you just watch the game, you think that someone from both teams has bought it!

The Bulls are the head coach, and the Magic are the majority of the players.

However, it is normal for Magic players to want to leave work early and take early holidays. After all, there is no salary to play in the playoffs.

I know that if I win G4, I will still be abused by the bull in G5, so why not end everything in G4 in advance?

Isn't it nice to take an early vacation and go out to sea for fishing?

That is, some players in the Magic team who are not up to the same level, in order to consider a new contract next season or next season, this is how they cooperate with the Bulls to complete this good show.

Now, though, back in Chicago, that's the end of the series.

Howard originally wanted to take a vacation, and Duane, as a senior, naturally had to satisfy him.

Doon was on fire from the start of the first quarter tonight, making four three-pointers from the outside in the first quarter alone.

Of course, Doon shot so smoothly, mainly because the Magic starters basically wanted to go home and didn't pinch Doon.

The height of the Magic outside players is not very enough, and the height of Turkoglu is enough, but as a power forward, it is impossible to run directly to the outside to lead the defense of Doon.

Doon has a lot of space to shoot and is naturally comfortable to throw.

Because of this, Doon, who played the whole first quarter, scored 27 points by shooting 9 of 13, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws!

It's a pity that this is not in the finals, but in the first round of the playoffs.

The playoff record of 29 points in a single quarter was set by Sleeper Eric Floyd in the '87 playoffs.

Doon wants to keep his name on the vast majority of records like Joe Dan everywhere, and it is clear that he will have to work hard.

Doon tried to pull back in the third quarter, but the Magic were too careless, and Doon clocked out again in the third quarter.

In the end, Doon scored 50 points in this game, scoring 53 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

53 points is a new playoff high for Doon, but unfortunately, he only scored 16 points in the third quarter and failed to continue to play a brave performance of 20+ in a single quarter.

Of course, tonight's game, Doon played well enough.

Not only broke the personal single-game scoring record, but also set a new personal playoff scoring record.

But if you really want to talk about it, Doon can play so well, thanks to the Magic welfare.

The East really has dividends, even in the playoffs.

Doon doesn't know how long the Eastern dividend will last, but it really makes people anxious and puts the Eastern stars together, and Doon is not afraid at all.

How lonely and empty it is to be invincible.

The east is invincible, no one can challenge it, and it will look very boring.

Just like in this year's playoffs, playing the Magic doesn't have much fun except for brushing up the data.

Even after the series was over, I walked up to Howard and admonished him - the future is yours.

Doon didn't have much happiness in his heart.

In other words, not long after the Bulls defeated the Magic to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, the other three rounds of the playoffs in the East also competed for winners.

The Pistons, who are second in the East, easily took the Nets in seventh place, while the Cavaliers and Knicks went through a big battle, beating the Heat and Raptors respectively.

In this way, the Bulls' opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals is the Cavaliers, and the Pistons will face the Knicks.

While the Eastern Conference semifinals hadn't started yet, Doon also took the time to study the game between the Cavaliers and the Heat.

Wade injured his left shoulder, and it was clear that there was a problem with the dribble.

The Cavaliers defended Wade from breaking through on the right, and Wade could only help the Heat score by blocking and dropping a mid-range jumper, or cutting without the ball and switching offense.

But in any case, Wade's attacking ability has decreased significantly, and his influence on the game has become less strong.

If it weren't for O'Neal's fierce game and the big Z, the Heat might have faced a difficult situation of winning a playoff game.

After all, this season's knights are really good.

Whether or not the whistle and the walk have taken advantage of the convenience, no matter what you say, James has been getting better and better every year over the years.

And the owner of the Cavaliers is also spending money to strengthen every year, and his salary this season is about the same as that of the Heat, and more than 10 million more than that of the Bulls.

The Bulls sit in North America's fourth-largest city, but they are still trying to earn an extra playoff ticket.

Cleveland is in decline, but the Cavaliers are willing to pay the luxury tax, and I have to say that this is true love.

Of course, sometimes salaries are not absolute.

Some players can lead the team to win championships during their rookie contracts, and some players can't win championships without a few high-paid teammates.

The playoffs are the stage for superstars after all! If you want to win the championship, you must first look at the quality of the star.

So next, Doon has to help James weigh and weigh. (End of chapter)
