G3 of the finals is harder to beat than Doon imagined.

The first is that the Lakers are back in Los Angeles and have their home whistle.

Obviously, the league doesn't want the Bulls to play a one-sided game again in the Finals.

If you can, like the previous Bull dynasty, no matter how strong the Bulls are, the Bulls' opponents can basically fight the Bulls back and forth.

Then, the challengers such as the SuperSonics and Jazz became the villains, and the Bulls went through a lot of hardships and finally ended the finals with a narrow advantage, 4-2, continuing the legend.

If this year's Finals can repeat such a drama, then the NBA will undoubtedly gain huge benefits in this round of the Finals.

So, G3 is very bad for the bulls in terms of whistles.

Of course, there are many examples in the history of the NBA where the Finals were swept.

Most of them are due to injuries to key players in the team, which has severely damaged the strength of the team.

If the team can't win a game even if the referee tries his best to help without losing the main team, then it proves that they don't deserve to enter the finals in the first place.

If you lead the team to the finals as a star, but you are swept by the opponent more than once, then it may be a lack of support from kneeling people, or the strength of your teammates is too good.

Now the opponent of the Bulls, the Lakers, is obviously not a vegetable.

Bryant plus Pau Gasol, plus a group of championship puzzle pieces, has a chance to win the championship.

It's just that the Bulls' rookie bonus is too refreshing.

In a few years, the Bulls will now be a supergiant and four All-Stars with a Big Five with a historic championship lineup.

If the Lakers want to beat such a bull, either Kobe Bryant is unstoppable; Either Kobe's teammates around him are in great shape, and Kobe can still hand over the ball in a timely manner and trust his teammates.

Tonight's G3, that's really happening.

Back in the Staples Center, Kobe Bryant faced the familiar basket, and his offensive efficiency improved significantly.

In addition, the first two games were basically suppressed, and Kobe Bryant also learned the lesson of losing - too much holding the ball alone hurt the team.

Therefore, under the guidance of the Zen master, Kobe Bryant chose to hand over the ball to other teammates to play first, and he held the ball at a critical moment to solve the Lakers' scoring dilemma.

Kobe Bryant's play has become reasonable, which is undoubtedly good news for the Lakers.

And Hinrich, Odom, Da Gasol and others, with the enthusiastic support of the home fans, played well.

No one wants to be swept in the finals, as long as there is a silver lining, they will definitely give it their all.

The Lakers are united and have been working hard since the first quarter, while the Bulls, although they play very seriously, are still inferior to the Lakers in terms of momentum and fighting spirit.

And because of the whistle, the Bulls players played angrily, which exposed some problems.

As far as the first half of the game is concerned, the Bulls players are not playing normally, only Doane is okay.

At halftime, Doon was not resigned, so he lost his temper in the locker room, and in this way, temporarily diverted the attention of the other Bulls players from the referee to the court.

In fact, after the first half, the Bulls did not fall behind by many points, only 7 points.

The away team trailed by seven points in the first half, which is completely acceptable.

During the Finals, the Lakers only had seven players in the main rotation, and it is still unknown whether they can maintain the efficiency of the first half in the second half.

As far as Doon is concerned, after watching Kobe's shooting percentage, it is a bit abnormally high.

Judging from Kobe Bryant's average shooting percentage of more than 40% during the Finals, Kobe Bryant should re-display his unique skills on the court in the second half.

Therefore, as soon as he came on the court at the beginning of the third quarter, Doon went to Kobe Bryant's trouble, trying to get Kobe Bryant on the head.

However, the Zen master apparently noticed that the rest of the Bulls did not perform well in the first half, and only Doon could provide efficient and consistent scoring.

This means that as long as Doane's play is limited in the second half, it is very likely that he will directly win the Bulls without blood.

The Lakers saw that Doon wanted to bully Kobe Bryant alone, and directly wrapped up Doon.

Kobe Bryant's defense in front created a certain amount of trouble for Doon, and at this time, someone came to wrap up, Doon didn't want to play like Kobe, and could only pass the ball to his teammates in advance.

Fortunately, the Bulls have a lot of people who can play, and even if individual players are not in good shape, the Bulls have a lot of players who can be replaced.

The Lakers kept pinching Doon and limited Doane's scoring, but they also paid a price for it, allowing the Bulls to play all the other points.

Seeing this, Doon is no longer so anxious, just using his role on the court to attract defense, create more scoring opportunities for his teammates, and then do a good job of defense, grab rebounds, and do whatever he can.

Maybe the Lakers didn't expect the other Bulls players to be so able to play, and they didn't expect Doane to play the third quarter.

In the third quarter, Doon didn't take the ball to the basket many times and scored only 5 points, but many of the Bulls' offenses were initiated by Doon.

Not to mention, Doon also did a pretty good job in terms of defense and rebounding.

If it were another player, he would have been tired and lying down for a long time.

But Doon's fitness level was extraordinary, and when the Bulls needed Doon the most, Doon insisted on playing the full third quarter, and it worked quite well.

The Zen master did not predict Doon's rotation time, but Doon still found an opportunity for this and led the team to play a wave of 6-0 small climax, which overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Bulls still had a small lead, 77-74, leading the Lakers by three points.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doon was still resting off the court, and Kobe Bryant hit three mid-range shots in a row as soon as he came up, and then overtook the score.

Originally, Doon had to continue to rest for a while, how could he sit still in this situation?

Doon must be back on the field! Even if he doesn't score, he must press down Kobe's fiery offensive momentum.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't go up tonight, and even though he scored three goals in a row before the timeout, Kobe Bryant still chose to trust his teammates when he saw Doon back on the court.

Doon also chose to trust his teammates, but when the score was behind, he was found by the referee to help the Lakers consolidate their advantage.

In just two minutes, the Bulls not only did not score a point, but were opened up by the Lakers by 7 points.

Doon had to question Kobe, understand Kobe, become Kobe, and concentrate the ball as the team's big man.

As early as G2, the Lakers have already seen the power of Doon's low-post singles!

In the Zen master's view, Doon's low threat is not much different from Jordan and Olajuwon.

So, for tonight's victory, be sure to flank Doon to the end.

Doon still needs space in the low post, and only with enough space can he use all his offensive skills to the fullest.

If you don't have the space, you can only finish by shooting.

And Doon's low-post hook hand, although quite proficient, does not have a Jabbar template, and there is no way to use the hook hand anywhere in the low post, ignoring the defender to complete the score.

In order to remove the restriction of the bag, Doon can only distribute the ball to his teammates, and let his teammates help him alleviate the difficulty of crowding the low post space.

However, the Lakers blocked the restricted area as much as possible to prevent the Bulls from scoring on the inside, forcing the Bulls to take more shots from the outside.

Although the Bulls are equipped with a lot of shooters, they also lose their accuracy in the fourth quarter because of the intensity of the game and the physical exertion is more serious.

It must be said that this is the flaw of the shooter.

is as strong as Curry, and in the fourth quarter, it will inevitably be affected by physical factors, and the shooting percentage will drop significantly.

If Curry didn't have strong coordination, man-ball combination and layup touch, he wouldn't be one of the best stars.

Therefore, a shooter like Ray Allen, who often scored key shots to save the team at critical moments in the fourth quarter, is even more precious.

In other words, Ben Gordon in the Bulls is also good at key shots.

It's a pity that the Bulls are behind in the score, and there are no more opportunities for Ben Gordon to make a lot of shots to save the team.

After hitting an iron shot in an open position, you have to let someone else try it instead.

However, the result was more and more mistakes, and the Bulls themselves shot to death, failing to score for two minutes in a row after Doon was trapped.

In the strategic stalemate stage, this situation suddenly appeared, and then it naturally became a one-sided situation.

The Lakers players became more and more courageous to extend the margin to more than 10 points, and then steadily began to actively reduce the pace of the game.

The Bulls, on their part, had to give the ball to Doane to deal with.

On the one hand, only Doon has the ability to lead the team to victory.

On the other hand, the other players were a little bit intimidated and afraid of taking responsibility for losing.

Perhaps this is also the hidden danger buried by Doon's anger at halftime.

It can only be said that this time and that time are also.

If you can win easily, everyone will be able to play happily and amicably.

Once faced with the pressure of losing, the only way to correct the problems in the dressing room is to lose your temper and have an immediate effect.

However, losing a game will not have a big impact on the Bulls.

No one has set the odds that the side with the absolute advantage must sweep the opponent 4-0.

96-103, the Lakers have the help of the home whistle, and it is reasonable for the Bulls to lose the Lakers by 7 points.

After the game, Doon, who scored 34 points, attracted more media attention.

The reporters didn't care about Doon's loss, but more concerned about the performance of throwing a lot of difficult balls tonight and scoring high.

After all, Kobe Bryant played more reasonably tonight, only 26 points, and in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant didn't score much, so the senses were not as bright as Doon.

In addition, reporters can also see that tonight's game is still affected by some external factors.

So everyone basically acquiesced that it was a matter of course for the Lakers to win.

On the contrary, it was Doon who became a tragic hero who was intervened by external forces.

However, after the game, Doon took the initiative to congratulate Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.

The winner deserves to be credited!

Doon didn't have much to say about losing, and he couldn't put pressure on his teammates after the game.

Complimenting his opponent, then, became Doon's only option.

And penalties are part of the game!

If you really want to talk about it, before fighting in the United Center, the Bulls were also the side with the whistle dominance.

It is indeed not easy for the Lakers to seize the opportunity tonight and defeat the Bulls with a five-star lineup.

However, for the next Finals G4, Doon must completely extinguish the Lakers' hope of winning.

On the afternoon of the second day back at the hotel, without waiting for Doon to put pressure on his teammates, Scott Skyles first gathered the Bulls players together to review where G3 had lost!

Most NBA teams will use video lessons to analyze the problems that exist on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court during previous games.

During the finals, the participating players will not have much daily training because their bodies need to rest and maintain, so for the finals team, the video lessons are more meaningful than usual.

There must be a reason why the Bulls retained their strength from G1 and G2 and won easily, and then G3 tried their best to lose 7 points behind the Lakers.

Removing the unfavorable factors of the penalty, if the Bulls want to win G4 and the subsequent games, they must play hard and find the real cause of the loss from within the team.

In order to achieve this goal, video lessons have become an indispensable part of the internal error correction of the bull.

In fact, it is a matter of attention, emotion, and state.

The Bulls played away from home and didn't get into the groove at first, and the referee's blowing affected the mood of the Bulls players and distracted them.

As a result, the Bulls made some mistakes that they shouldn't have made, failed to defend some of the Lakers' offense, and also missed some good scoring opportunities.

Through the video lesson, after clearly realizing their mistakes, the other players of the Bulls will basically be ashamed and brave, and devote themselves more attentively and hard to the next game.

On June 12, the finals G4 was played again at the Staples Center.

The referee's blowing scale is similar to that of G3, which is not friendly to the Bulls.

However, the Bulls finally came up with the strength that a five-star lineup should have.

As soon as the game started, the Bulls had the upper hand, but the Lakers had more free throws and temporarily stabilized the score.

When it came to the stage where the players rotated between the two sides came on, the advantage of the Bulls became more and more obvious.

Although Doon was also resolutely caught by the Lakers during the off-peak trip, this time Doon's teammates cooperated more actively, and played harder and smarter.

Once the Bulls grasp their scoring opportunities and then do their defensive work, it won't be so easy for the Lakers to win games like G3 did.

In the second quarter of the game, the Bulls finally established a certain advantage, and the margin widened to double digits several times, but it was quickly narrowed by the Lakers players.

At the end of the second quarter, relying on Doon's three-pointer, the Bulls once again extended their advantage to 11 points, laying the foundation for tonight's win.

The Lakers wanted to come back from the deficit in the third quarter, but the Bulls didn't give it a chance tonight.

The Bulls have a stronger roster, and Doon's consistency and help to the team is still above Kobe.

The Bulls were able to contain Kobe Bryant, but the Lakers couldn't make the Bulls lose by wrapping Doon alone.

Of course, in the final analysis, the Lakers don't have more players who can step up and score, but Doon can emerge one after another around him.

After the third quarter, the score came to 85-70, and the Bulls built a 15-point lead and won the game.

In the fourth quarter, the referee wanted to try again, but in the middle of the fourth quarter, Hinrich was so tired that his leg cramped.

Hinrich is a white player, he is not known for his physical fitness, in the previous Western Conference playoffs, Hinrich averaged 38 minutes per game, but in the last four finals, an average of 41 minutes per game, Hinrich can't stand it.

The Lakers suddenly lacked a point guard, and morale dropped badly, while also exposing the problem that no one could dribble for Kobe.

The results of the G4 game, of course, need not be said.

The Bulls won the game by a huge margin of 21 points, 116-95.

At this point, the score of the finals came to 3 to 1!
