The big boss of the team usually comes to the bottom, and in previous games, Doon usually played other teammates first at the beginning of the game to try his touch.

However, Garnett and Josh Smith play in breastplates, and the Bulls may score less inside tonight.

Doon, as the man of the house, needs to make up for these points.

At the same time, it can be regarded as fate, since the start of the game, most of the opportunities have been on Doon's side, and Doon has also taken the ball and worked hard to help the team take the lead first.

It can only be said that the effect is not bad, and under the leadership of Doon, the Bulls have opened up the difference.

Rivers, who used to stand on the sidelines stupidly and motionless, hurriedly called a timeout, knowing that the game would only start for two minutes.

To be able to play the opponent's first timeout in such a short period of time is undoubtedly an affirmation of Doon's strength and the Bulls.

And the next game will undoubtedly be much easier for the Bulls.

It's easy to go with the wind, but hard with the headwind. Competitive events are not only about ability, but also about confidence.

And a team led by a strong person can undoubtedly go further.

Not long after the start of G1, Doon had already shown the level of a coalition ruler at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

The rest of the Bulls' players will certainly be willing to believe in Doon as they always have and contribute their own strength on the court.

"Doon, it's so reassuring to have a team boss like you!"

Garnett took a bottle of drink and sat on the bench, the towel was covering his head, and before he could wipe his sweat, he hugged Doon tightly beside him.

Doon was a little disgusted, after all, Garnett had only played for two minutes, as if he was not good, and he was covered in stinky sweat.

But it didn't work, at this time, he was warmly embraced by Garnett, and Doon couldn't force himself out of Garnett's hands.

"It's just the beginning of the game, and we're playing against the Celtic Big Three, so we have to stay focused and give it our all!"

Doon could only pat Garnett and warn his teammates to stay focused and play with a proper attitude.

As the timeout ended, the Bulls players returned to the court.

The Celtics continued to play Rondo and O'Neal's pick-and-roll, but O'Neal didn't go down immediately after covering it, but ran to the right side and continued to cover Ray Allen.

Before the timeout, Ray Allen made a three-pointer, and it was obviously a good choice for the Celtics to let Ray Allen continue to shoot three-pointers and take the opportunity to chase points.

It was also because Ray Allen had a lot of shooting threat, and he was able to get rid of Rohr Deng's pursuit with his off-ball running, and the Bulls had to pinch Ray Allen who had just gotten the ball as soon as possible.

However, after Ray Allen received a pass from Rondo, Rondo and O'Neal rushed to the basket one after another.

Garnett was delaying Rondo, and Rondo was supposed to go back to defend O'Neal after Rondo's pass, but when he saw Rondo cut to the basket, he could only follow Rondo to the basket.

With Roel Deng and Cassel already pinching Ray Allen, and Doon and Josh Smith defending Pierce and P.J. Brown respectively, O'Neal was completely empty.

In other words, Rondo also watched and listened to all directions, noticed that the direction of movement conflicted with O'Neal, and in order to take Garnett away from the basket, he pretended to stop and run to get rid of Garnett.

Garnett didn't notice O'Neal's position behind him, so he waited until Ray Allen jumped and passed the ball to O'Neal, who also jumped directly into the air when he was unguarded.

At this time, Doon and Josh Smith rushed to the basket one after another to make up for the defense, and it was already too late.

"You pick up the ball!"

Doon knew he couldn't defend O'Neal's ball, so he said as he nudged Josh Smith, signaling him to slip the baseline as soon as O'Neal scored the point.

Bang Dong –

As soon as Doon finished speaking, O'Neal's hands had already slammed into the basket, and his body was still splashing in the air, as if he was about to pull the basket down.

In the process of falling from the net, the basketball smashed into O'Neal's stomach, and it was about to bounce off the court.

However, Josh Smith knows something about O'Neal's move.

Just got another reminder from Doon, so he chased out of the court in a step, and in the blink of an eye, he reached out and hit the racket and immediately controlled it.

O'Neal was still hanging on the basket, and Josh Smith was already holding the ball and turning to look at Doon.

At this time, Doon had just run outside the three-point line, and it was not even half time.

Josh Smith noticed that Doon was flanked by Pierce and Rondo, so he didn't risk passing the ball to Doon.

Obviously, Doon scored all of the Bulls' points in the first two minutes or so, which attracted the attention of the Celtics, and the Celtics will not easily give Doane a chance to convert.

Fortunately, the Bulls are not only capable of switching from Dhorn, but Roel Deng and Cassel are also quick to react, and at this time they have already made a fast break from the other side.

Josh Smith passed the ball to Kassel, who received the ball and passed it to Roel Deng in the blink of an eye.

Ray Allen moved to Kassel to receive the ball, and was already approaching Kassel, but he was really unable to chase Roel Deng again.

So, Roel Deng went straight to the basket and scored the ball.

The Celtics struggled to get two points with a clever tactical combination, but the Bulls relied on switching offense and easily hitting a simple ball to get two points back.

As far as the Bulls are racing against time, seeing the way they score, the Celtics, who are under-resourced, really don't have any good ways to deal with it.

The first quarter played more than 7 minutes, and although Doon was limited by the Celtics, the Celtics could not avoid the fact that the point difference was stretched.

13-21, just over half a quarter, the Bulls have taken an eight-point lead.

At this point in time, Rivers had to make a substitution and take advantage of the dead-ball opportunity to replace O'Neal to rest.

"Kevin, you're playing well, but let's rest for a while! The team needs you to contribute more. ”

Scott Skeles noticed O'Neal and quickly replaced Garnett off the court, allowing Garnett to take a break as well.

The Bulls have a lot of people who can play, and Scott Skeyles can accept Garnett for O'Neal.

And the Celtics took Kendrick Perkins, in fact, the defense is not much better, and the offensive end lacks O'Neal to attract the defense, and even worse.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics only scored 19 points, and the Bulls relied on the conversion offense after grabbing rebounds to continue to establish an advantage, scoring 31 points in a single quarter.

The game entered the second quarter, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for the Celtics.

O'Neal was on the court, and the Bulls ran as hard as they could.

Celtic wanted to keep the pace down, but Rondo was still young and inexperienced, and was still a little tender compared to Cassel.

As soon as the Celtics slowed down their dribbling, Cassel stepped forward to limit Rondo's dribbling.

That is, Rondo's hands are particularly long, and he has advantages in ball protection and dribbling, and Cassel can't complete the steal.

However, it also put pressure on Rondo to dribble the ball through the half court quickly to avoid an eight-second violation.

After halftime, the Bulls also took the initiative to pinch the ball carrier, although it exposed some shooting opportunities, but also ruined the Celtics' plan to slow down the pace of the game.

After the Celtics chased the points for half a quarter, they seemed to suffer because O'Neal was dragging his feet in terms of defense.

At the same time, the Celtics didn't notice that even Ray Allen was a little out of breath.

It is precisely because of this that in the second half of the second quarter, the Celtics' outside shooting percentage dropped significantly compared with the first half of the quarter.

Pierce and Ray Allen hit the iron one after another, and the Bulls continued to focus on defensive counterattacks, switching offense, and beating the Celtics exhausted and frustrated.

That is, after Tony Allen came off the bench, he caused a little trouble for Ben Gordon and helped the Celtics earn a little face.

However, to no avail, the score came to 39-55 at the end of the first half, and the Bulls had established a 16-point lead.

It can only be said that the overall strength of the Bulls is indeed stronger than that of the Celtics.

And the Celtics' Big Three are not fully exerting their strength, or the Celtics' offensive system has serious problems.

In the main lineup, Rondo can't shoot, O'Neal can't shoot, and P.J. Brown is also getting older, his strength has declined seriously, and his shooting has become less reliable.

It's too good for the Bulls to defend.

As long as you set up a joint defense, Pierce and Ray Allen, who got the ball, and the remaining three can be switched back even if they get the ball.

And no matter what time the Bulls are, at least one of Garnett and Doane will be on the court to help defend.

Doon's help defense is not as good as Garnett's, but it can have some effect.

And Milicic can also use his excellent physical talent to do some things to make up for the shortcomings on the field, although it may not be able to do well, but it is somewhat useful.

It is precisely because of this that the Bulls focus on defense, but with the help of conversion offense, they are climbing in terms of scoring.

The Celtics, who are good at offense, failed to break through the Bulls' iron wall and are still in a difficult situation to score.

Fast forward to the third quarter, and the Celtics knew they had to give it a go, so they could only force the ball to O'Neal first.

O'Neal was able to play for a short time on the court, and the physical strength did not allow O'Neill to score efficiently in the course of the later games.

Therefore, the Celtics can only let O'Neal play first, or O'Neal can only grab rebounds on the court, or cover for Ray Allen and Pierce.

The Bulls noticed that the Celtics had changed their tactics again, and they had to see a move to defend O'Neal forward.

Even if O'Neal gets the ball, the Bulls wing players will cooperate with the opponent on the inside as soon as possible and attack O'Neal in the first place.

Coupled with the offensive end, the Bulls continued to play fast breaks, leaving O'Neal in a difficult situation with his own weight and physical strength.

So, O'Neal only scored two goals at the beginning of the third quarter and quickly couldn't play.

With 2-of-5 shooting and 1-of-2 free throws, O'Neal played more than 6 minutes in the third quarter and scored just 5 points.

Although the Celtics have a big three, Pierce and Ray Allen are not very efficient in scoring when they encounter the Bulls' joint defense, and they are not even as good as O'Neal.

It's just that he has the ability to shoot and can digest more of the ball.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics' Big Three combined for 17 points, while the Celtics only scored a total of 21 points in the third quarter.

On the Bulls' side, although they only scored 24 points, they undoubtedly extended their advantage a little.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, after the first three quarters, the home team has established a 19-point lead. Then the result of this game, naturally there is no need to say anything more.

81-103, the Bulls took the lead in the Eastern Conference Finals with a huge advantage of 22 points.

Celtic don't have much to say about that.

The bulls are united in their hearts and minds, and they are all doing everything towards the dream of a three-in-a-row dynasty.

The configuration and playing style of the Celtics were indeed restrained by the Bulls, and now their skills are not as good as others, which is really normal.

So after the game, O'Neal, who was Doon's former teammate, did not end the game loss, but only emphasized that the reason for the loss was because Doon was too strong.

"The Chicago Bulls beat us up badly tonight, which reminds me of the unpleasantness of a few years ago.

There was also a man who took the Chicago Bulls and beat my team to the ground.

I've known for a long time that Doon is capable of doing things that ordinary people can't.

I miss playing together in Dudoune, but I'm sorry that as an opponent I have to do everything I can to win the next matches. ”

It is better to boast that your opponent is strong than to take the blame for losing.

O'Neal was not a star raised by the Celtics themselves, and he was more likely to be scolded by Celtics fans because of his status as a mercenary.

It is also because of the fact that public opinion was led to "Doon is too strong" and "Bull is too strong" in advance, and he also expressed the idea of regrouping and making trouble for Doon.

After losing G1, the outside world did not criticize O'Neal, who has the worst scoring data among the Celtics' big three.

However, the monk who can escape can't escape the temple.

The Celtics were restrained by the Bulls in all aspects, and the only strong point was O'Neal, but O'Neal was affected by his weight, and it didn't take long for him to blast the Bulls' interior line with a single point.

After G2 was over, the Celtics lost to the Bulls by a big score again, and Celtics fans couldn't help it.

After all, in the previous two rounds of the playoffs, O'Neal averaged 20+10 per game, but now he is only 15+8, and he has been touting Doon after the game, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Celtics fans.

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. In an athletic sport, no fan wants the home team to lose, and no fan wants the star of the house to tout the star of the rival.

O'Neal uses words to evade responsibility as the star of the house, but the fans won't let him go so easily.

In order to win the Bulls' games in G3 and G4, and see the hope of the Celtics advancing to the Finals, many fans began to create the topic of O'Neal releasing water to his former teammate Doon, ready to defect to Doon.

There are also people who say that they want Rivers to use O'Neill more, and they can't let O'Neill drink "oral liquid" all the time on the bench.

It is under such public opinion that the Eastern Conference Finals G3 will start again. (End of chapter)
