Chapter 257: The Knight Is Too Cooky? The referee came
"The Cleveland Cavaliers aren't very strong, and it seems easier than we thought it would be easier to defeat them!"
"I can't say that, it's because we're too strong, it's Doon who is playing too well.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a strong defensive team, but they are only good at defending average players.
As long as they can't defend against Doon, then winning is easy. ”
"Haha, if you want me to say, it's because their big boss is too good! Offense, no shots, defense, not aggressive. So what does he fight to win? ”
"After all, it's still a rookie, and it's normal to lack playoff experience.
In my opinion, James's kid has been scared stupid by Doon!
But who wouldn't be dumbfounded when it comes to this kind of thing? If I were me, I'd be crazy!
How can there be such a fierce player? Am I playing against Michael?
Doon played too exaggeratedly, and one man's score was almost as big as their team's score! ”
Because the first half was too relaxed, at halftime, the Bulls players enjoyed a big meal in the locker room and chatted happily.
Noticing that his teammates were too lax, Doon still reminded him: "You still can't take it lightly."
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are also a team that will advance to the second round of the playoffs, and we need to be cautious about them.
Everyone should be able to feel that their defense is still very good.
If we want to beat an opponent like that, we will definitely need more energy than we would have to play Orlando Magic in the first round.
Therefore, everyone still has to cheer up and take the next game seriously and treat this round of the series. ”
After the first half of the battle, Doon was completely confident in his heart, and it was easy to defeat the Cavaliers.
But be careful!
This year's Bulls are not last season's Bulls.
Now the Bulls are impetuous, and the players have their own ideas.
Some people want to lie flat, and some people are forging ahead.
Even if you want to play well in the playoffs and perform well, you may not be like Doon, so you have your sights on the championship and work tirelessly for it.
A lot of players are still fighting for big contracts, not for championships they already have.
In order to be able to bring everyone's strength together, but also to preserve the strength of the team as much as possible before the finals start.
Doon doesn't want to lose his troops in this series.
Compared to a star like Howard, Doon is more worried about the opponent in this series.
What the opponent will do next, Doon doesn't know, he can only see the move.
To avoid accidents, Doon uses himself as bait.
After halftime and the third quarter resumed, Doon picked up the ball on the outside and singled.
Seeing this, the Cavaliers immediately went to the pinch attack, and Doon passed the ball to his teammates to transition, and at the same time reached for the ball, signaling his teammates on the inside to come out and block and cooperate.
Doon continues to look for opportunities from beyond the three-point line and keeps an eye on his feet before making a shot.
Not long after the third quarter came on, Doon made another three-pointer.
As Doon threw the ball away from the outside, Tyson Chandler continued to score under the basket with pick-and-rolls.
In order to maintain this attacking pattern as much as possible and consolidate the scoring lead, Doon deliberately slowed down the pace of the game.
The Bulls kept the time as low as possible, cutting down on the number of rounds and making it more difficult for the Cavaliers to find opportunities to chase down points in the third quarter.
Still, Doon overestimated the Cavaliers' offense.
In the absence of a viable offensive means for James and Larry Hughes's poor condition due to injury, the only two things the Cavaliers can play are the twin towers of Drew Gooden and Big Z.
Among them, Big Z's playing time is limited, so he can't provide much help to the Cavaliers.
It is precisely because of this that the third quarter was playing, and the Cavaliers had another scoring drought.
In this regard, Mike Brown is also poor in donkey skills and has nothing to do.
After all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Giving the ball to James now is not a good tactic.
Even if James gets the ball, he dribbles for more than ten seconds and then passes the ball to his teammates in the last few seconds.
It's just that Mike Brown, as a rookie coach, doesn't have the courage to take James.
There is no way, and when the third quarter is over, the game can only be reduced to garbage time.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the main players of the Cavaliers only played for more than two minutes before being replaced off the court, and only James stayed on the court to do the final trapped beast fight.
Seeing this, the Bulls felt that the overall situation had been decided, and they also replaced the main players in an orderly manner.
"Doon, do you want to fight a little longer?"
Scott Skeles actually wanted Doon to stay on the court for a few more minutes.
Tonight, Doon clocked in three and a half quarters and scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
If you play for a few more minutes and consciously strive for a little more rebounds, it is not difficult to play 40+10 at all.
Just like James on the other side, when the game is almost played, the stats become 21 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.
The Cavaliers only scored 85 points as a team, and James's data naturally seemed to be more trying.
However, Doon is not interested in scoring points, after all, tonight's data is already gorgeous.
Of course, as a senior worker, Doon didn't want to work overtime. There's no need to waste a little more energy in a game that has already been won.
85-106, in the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, the Bulls won by 21 points in G1 and got off to a good start.
On May 7, G2 kicked off again.
Similar to the situation in G1, the Cavaliers have no way to adjust and change the team's offense in a short period of time, and the adjustments that can be made on the defensive end are extremely limited.
Even if the Cavaliers relied on the fast break to speed up the pace of the game, it still didn't help.
With no way to limit Doon's scoring, no way to limit Doon and Tyson Chandler from playing pick-and-roll, the Cavaliers are destined to beat the Bulls.
91-115, the Bulls continued to score a 20+ point win at home.
Two consecutive crushing wins also made the outside world clearly realize that the Cavaliers and the Bulls are not at the same level at all.
However, it is difficult to say whether the situation will change when the Bulls play away next.
The league needs ratings, and the Bulls have been crushing their opponents, and winning is too easy to win, which is also not good for ratings.
Even if the Bulls are the best at playing tacit ball, at most it is the Chicago fans who admit it.
In order to make the playoffs more exciting, it is normal for the league to send some referees who are more professional and good at controlling the court.
No, Joe Crawford, the notorious bald referee, became the head referee of the Bulls and Cavaliers G3.
After realizing that the situation was wrong, Doon also reminded his teammates before the game - try not to laugh during the game as much as possible, even if you are sitting on the bench.
The Bulls' players didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and felt that Doon was taking it too seriously.
So, when responding to Doon, he basically just nodded casually.
However, after the game officially started, James made a three-way shot as soon as he came up, and there was inevitably some laughter on the Bulls bench.
Immediately after that, the situation suddenly turned against the bulls...... (End of chapter)
