Chapter 267: Doon: Kobe, I want to thank you
"Last year we won the championship in Dallas.
Like everyone else, I would love to go back to Chicago and lift the championship trophy in front of the Chicago fans.
However, I must tell you that there is a philosophical word in our country - long nights and dreams.
In the last game, the Los Angeles Lakers injured their starting point guard, and tonight's game is our best chance to win.
If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, then we don't know if there will be any other surprises in the next game.
Will our players have injuries similar to those of Koke Hinrich in tonight's game?
Will we be subject to harsher penalties that will lead to a loss in the game?
We have to think about these issues before we play.
And my thinking is that we've lost a Finals, and we should realize that the Los Angeles Lakers have what it takes to win a championship.
Although we are very strong, we should also respect our opponents and we should respect every game we have experienced.
For our victory, for our honor, and for the sake of ending the game early, having an early holiday and reuniting with our families, we must do our best! β
Before the start of G5, Doon was not only cheering for his teammates, but also unifying the idea of the locker room, wanting to end the finals as soon as possible.
Winning tonight's game, Doon won the second consecutive championship and the second consecutive FMVP.
Coupled with the previous three championships, three championships, and two regular season MVPs, he directly ranked among the top ten in NBA history.
Of course, Doon is only in his twenties now, and he is still more than half a month away from the end of his rookie contract, and it is still too early to talk about honors.
However, as a part-time worker, no one wants to work overtime, and everyone cares more about salary increases.
It's mid-June, and when the finals are over and the championship celebration is over, the July offseason is just around the corner.
By then, under Doon's terms, Doon was on the verge of a big contract with a 30 percent salary cap.
Although the terms have been decided, the special terms for the team's service to the big boss still need to be discussed for some more time.
In addition, in order to have a chance to win three consecutive championships next year and create a Bulls dynasty belonging to Doon, Doon also needs to get the finals early.
As Doon just said - long nights and many dreams!
Doon doesn't want his second win to fall short in any way, so tonight is undoubtedly another great opportunity to make a name for himself and make another big difference.
And winning the cup at the Staples Center is also very meaningful to Doon.
As the saying goes, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river! Now that Doon is still in his teenage years, he can scold Fang Xuan once.
"The race is about to start, let's get together again and cheer for it!"
The Bulls players are about to play, and Scott Skels has made his mouth to offer as head coach.
Scott Skels is also obviously clear, and this next time he will shout cheers hand in hand, which may be the last time for this Bulls.
After tonight, the next time they play on the NBA court, some players may appear as opponents.
Whatever the future holds, though, at least for now, we're all playing together.
And Doon's exclusive photographer will also record this scene at this moment and become part of Doon's personal biographical films in the future.
"3, 2, 1, come onβ"
Soon the Bulls players came to the court in unison, and as the starters from both sides came on the court one after another, the game officially began.
It is said that although Hinrich had symptoms of hamstring cramps in the last game, he still started tonight.
The reason for this situation is none other than that Hinrich himself is strong-willed and cannot get out of the line of fire with minor injuries.
Or the Lakers are short of people, if Hinrich doesn't play with an injury, tonight's G5 is equivalent to an explanation.
The Lakers are obviously not prepared to admit defeat, but the Bulls players have adapted to the playing environment of the Staples Center after the first two road games.
In addition, I also adapted to the referee's penalty scale, knowing how to play correctly, how to attack and defend well.
It's also the Bulls players who feel it, and Doon didn't attack much in the first quarter, at most he gave the ball to other teammates.
Then I watched everyone feel hot one by one, and it rained for three minutes on the scene.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls went on a 34-21 run to take a 13-point lead in a single quarter, the first of the series.
And at the beginning of the second quarter, Doane finally found an opportunity to quickly score points on the court with his bench players, and continued to help the Bulls establish a scoring advantage.
It wasn't until Odom suddenly came to the state that the score on the field was deadlocked.
However, it didn't take long for Kobe Bryant to return to the court, and the situation took a new turn.
Seeing that the score difference has been stretched to 17 points, Kobe Bryant is obviously anxious.
And Kobe Bryant is in a hurry, either the gods will go down to earth, or the gods will eat.
It can only be said that Kobe Bryant has fought to the end. With an average of 43 minutes of playing time per game and an average of 27 shots per game in the finals, Kobe Bryant, who hit G5, has long been exhausted and has no successor.
Now that he is forced to take the ball and play alone, and then he is attacked by the Bulls' forward players, it is naturally clear how to end up.
Therefore, as Kobe Bryant continued to play singles, the Bulls steadily expanded their advantage to more than 20 points.
And this is still the three referees on the spot, who provided a lot of convenience to the Lakers in the first half.
It is worth mentioning that in the second half, the wind direction suddenly changed.
The referees seemed to be making amends, giving the Bulls some balance whistles at the start of the third quarter.
The Bulls already had a huge advantage, and now the referee has suddenly become a normal person, although he was a little uncomfortable at first, but he quickly figured out the situation, and then continued to expand the advantage.
However, the Lakers were not crushed by the Bulls in the third quarter.
Perhaps it was the meditation of the Zen master that played an effect, and the Lakers' main performance in the third quarter was mediocre, but the bench players kept popping up to help the Lakers shoot some three-pointers.
It's just that the Lakers in the third quarter are already in a certain death situation, even if the bench players stand up, there is no way to save Kobe Bryant and save the Lakers.
It can only be said that the child is dead and the milk is coming, and the hole dug by the Lakers in the first half is too big, and it will not help at all to shrink by two or three points in the third quarter.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bulls directly pressed all the main forces and prepared to win the game in one go.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doon did play the strength of the alliance ruler.
He scored seven points on five consecutive shots, 3-of-5 shooting and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line.
It's not as scary as a 100-shot shot, but it's too crucial for the finals.
In the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, instead of narrowing the score, the Lakers were further widened by Doane.
And now that the gap has widened to more than 20 points, how can the Lakers catch up?
At this time, even if the Lakers are given a peak Jordan, there is no way to turn defeat into victory with less than 9 minutes left.
Unless, add Peak Reggie Miller and Peak Maddie together.
111-92, after the unremitting efforts of Kobe Bryant and others, the Lakers finally narrowed the gap to less than 20 points, but they still couldn't prevent the Bulls from winning the championship.
"Keep it up, Kobe, this series has made me realize that you are much stronger.
Not only do you score well, you defend well, you can do a lot of things that players can't.
And he can lead the team here as the leader of the team.
I know very well how difficult and powerful you are!
You already have the heart to lead your teammates to win championships, and I'm sure one day in the future, you'll be like me now.
Of course, you have more championships than I do, and I'm probably not in a position to tell you that right now.
But I have to thank you anyway......
Don't get me wrong, I'm not thanking you for helping me get my first championship of my career, but for helping me win it again tonight.
Hahahaha, Kobe, see you next season. β
It was undoubtedly very relaxing and enjoyable to beat up his old club, beat his former teammates, and stand on the stage of the Staples Center to win the championship again.
And Kobe Bryant heard Doon's ridicule, and immediately became annoyed and angry, and gave Doon an elbow: "Mom provoke Fak, get out of here after winning the championship, this is my territory!" β
