Chapter 298: Wake up and hit the scoring champion
After Doon made his decision, he stepped forward forcefully and suppressed all the voices in the team.
In order to keep the Bulls capable of winning the championship and at the same time to enhance the cohesion of the team, Doon began to take a big picture, shoot aggressively, and attack aggressively.
In previous seasons, Doon had made sacrifices for the championship.
After this thought, Doon also figured it out!
The championship is the honor of all the players, coaching staff, and management of the whole team, and it makes no sense to point to Doon alone as the big culprit, and let Doon sacrifice alone for others to suck blood.
Moreover, Doon has also won three consecutive championships, and the next championship, I am fortunate to have won it, and I have lost my life, in fact, there is no need to suffer from gains and losses.
Doon now feels that the configuration of the Bulls this season is fine, so he should seize the opportunity as much as possible and do his best to compete, so that he has no regrets.
If the team management feels that the luxury tax pressure is high, or the core players are injured a lot, the team is not in good shape, and wants to rebuild early, you can also watch it later.
Anyway, the contradictions and problems that the team has accumulated now cannot be solved by just expecting Doon to make sacrifices.
Although Doon is the boss of the team and is responsible for the team's wins and losses, but the other players are not unpaid, why should the team have to make sacrifices in order to win?
Now that Ben Gordon and other young players have also been given big contracts, they are past their rookie years, and they no longer need Doon to develop them with the ball.
Before the Bulls won the championship, Doon won the championship with the help of their strength, and he did eat the rookie bonus.
So, giving them the ball, feeding them the pie, letting them brush up on better stats, helping them get into the All-Star Rankings, it makes sense.
However, this is no longer the case, after all, they have been paid the wages they deserve.
Doon's contract was bigger, but it was only a million more than them.
They are all players with tens of millions of salaries, so why should Doon reduce the ball for them to play more flashy statistics so that they can make more off-court gains?
Isn't this bullying the elderly?
Although everyone is a Chicago Bulls player, everyone is a wage earner and gets paid to work.
But if you really want to talk about it, Doon is not only a player, but also the boss of the Bulls!
At the United Center, Doon can say to anyone but the owners and shareholders of the team, this is my territory!
And behind this sentence are hundreds of millions or even billions of fans around the world.
Judging from the composition of Chicago Bulls fans, the fans who enter the Union Center to watch the game, and the viewers who watch the Bulls games in front of the TV, are mostly Doon fans.
Therefore, in order to pay real money to enter the stadium to watch the game, Doon supports him in front of the TV, and the fans who buy peripheral products offline are responsible.
You have to win the home games as much as possible, and you have to make sure that the fans have a good time watching the games.
If his teammates don't perform well enough, Doon shouldn't put up with them, but should push them and let them perform in line with their salary.
Besides, from the point of view of winning the game, you should give the ball to the stronger player on the field and the player with the better feel.
Most of the time, Doon is the most reliable player in the game for the Chicago Bulls! You deserve to get the most balls!
In previous seasons, Doon has also proven himself again and again with practical actions.
Doon has the ability to turn the tide in a crisis, help the team turn the tables against the wind, and win the game.
Even if Doon is a little more Buddhist this season and his personal data is not outstanding, this does not affect Doon is still the core player of the Chicago Bulls!
As the boss of the team, Doon is undoubtedly the barometer of the Bulls!
When the Chicago Bulls have internal problems, Doon has to be good enough to help the team overcome the other contradictions with a victory.
After the idea was understood, Doon no longer was a good gentleman, but became himself again, and even played more selfishly than before.
When the feel is relatively poor, give the ball to other teammates and find opportunities to travel at the wrong peak.
Doon pulled himself to the fullest, and soon his personal data skyrocketed.
The Bulls also relied on Doon's extremely high scoring efficiency and Doon's crazy performance of 40+ and 50+ points in many games to win one powerful opponent after another.
Doon showed his teammates that they were determined to win, and the team continued to move towards the goal of winning the championship.
Ben Gordon, Roel Deng, and Garnett all had their stats down because of Doon's crazy performance, but no one dared to find fault with Doon in front of Doon.
The Bulls' internal evaluation of Doon is no different from the outside world.
Before this year's All-Star roster was officially confirmed, there was talk of Doon returning to the top and leading the Bulls to victory over one formidable opponent after another.
Everyone lamented Doon's strength, and even more and more basketball commentators have compared Doon to Jordan.
It is true that the number of championships won by Doon, as well as the accumulation of honors in other aspects, is still far from Jordan.
But Doon is very young, and Doon has not even gone a third of his NBA career.
is also because Doon has a promising future, and most of everyone can make predictions - if it goes on like this, Doane will basically surpass Jordan in terms of honor accumulation.
And for now, as the ruler of the league, and the real ruler of the league, Doane's dominance on the court can indeed be compared to Jordan.
Under the target of the vast majority of teams and players across the league, Doon was not overwhelmed, but seemed to be at ease.
In the last month, Doon averaged 34.2 points per game, and this season's average has risen to 26.8 points per game.
If this continues, Doon will not have a chance to win the points this year.
It is said that Doon had also thought about winning the scoring title before, but for the sake of the championship and in order to give his teammates a better chance to perform, he finally gave up.
This year, Doon has a clear mind and has figured it out! It's inevitable that the team will make the playoffs in the East, and even if Doon wants to win the scoring title, it will not affect the team's record.
So take advantage of the opportunity of this year's good team configuration, brush up a more valuable scoring champion, and even have a chance to win the regular season MVP again, why not?
Jordan is recognized as the GOAT, and one of the important factors is that he has won many scoring titles while guaranteeing the team's record.
In the mouths of many NBA head coaches, singles hurt the team!
One thing to say, the team boss concentrates the ball to get high points, and in one game, it can often help the team win.
Looking at the overall regular season, it does affect the integration of role players into the team's overall tactics and how they play on the court.
Judging by the data of previous seasons, the more obsessed the team boss is with singles and the more he concentrates the ball, the worse the team's record.
And the stronger the team, the richer and better the bench lineup, and the more role players will occupy the ball.
As a result, there is a situation where the core player statistics are relatively mediocre, but it is easier to achieve results.
This also leads to the fact that the quality of the scoring champion must depend on the team's record.
The 60-win scoring champion is basically the top honor of the supergiant single-core team.
The lottery show scoring champion, even if it is not a data brush, there is nothing to say, it is always a lack of ability to lead the team.
Now Doon has achieved two scoring titles in international competitions, but not in the NBA.
Since I have this opportunity, I naturally don't want to miss it.
Of course, it would be better if he could beat the Grass House Bunny and win the regular season MVP again.
Having said that, driven by Doon's high-efficiency scoring with full firepower, the Bulls' record quickly climbed to second place in the East.
By the time Phoenix All-Star Weekend '09 arrived, the Bulls had a 40-13 record.
However, a month ago, when the All-Star roster was confirmed, the Bulls were fourth in the East.
As a result, the number of All-Stars on the Bulls this year is not as high as last year, with only three — Doane, Garnett, and Roel Deng.
Ben Gordon suffered some injuries during the All-Star vote, and his poor performance, coupled with Doon's sudden awakening and taking away part of the ball, ultimately lost the election.
In this regard, although Ben Gordon is a little concerned, it is not easy to anger Doon or anything.
Doon has helped Ben Gordon pull tickets, and Ben Gordon's previous move to score points regardless of the record did lose some impression points on the side of Doon fans.
From the perspective of the Bulls' internal competition, Ben Gordon's physical fitness is relatively poor, and the defensive quality has not been improved, and the team's performance is indeed inferior to Rohr Deng.
Coupled with his bad luck, he was not recognized by other head coaches in the league, and it was normal for him not to be selected for the All-Star Game off the bench.
In other words, in the past two years, the alliance has indeed entered the stage of upgrading.
This year's All-Star lineup, Eastern starters: Doon, Wade, James, Garnett, Howard.
Eastern subs: Morris Williams, Devin Harris, Singles Joe, Danny Granger, Roel Deng, Bosh, O'Neal.
Western starters: Paul, Kobe, Xiaosi, Duncan, Yao Ming.
Western subs: Iverson, Delon, Roy, Maddy, David West, Nowitzki, Pau Gasol.
More than half of today's All-Stars are young players from the class of '02, including young players who are still on rookie contracts.
The 96 golden generation, which was in the league a few years ago and showed its strength, now seems to be declining, and the general trend has gone, becoming a generation of veterans who replace the old.
As for O'Neal and Garnett, the two old things, they can still maintain their form, which is also quite difficult.
There is no doubt that in a few years, they will also disappear from the All-Star roster, or even from the roster of teams in the league.
At that time, the league will be completely reduced to the world of the 03 platinum generation of stars.
"Last year, you fully supported KG to win the All-Star MVP, and this year we fully support you to win the All-Star MVP!"
For this All-Star Game, Doon, Garnett, and Roel Deng have no ideas.
Doon has already won a number of All-Star MVPs in previous years, and Garnett also won one last year, while Luol Deng's qualifications are not enough.
So, just be generous and support others to show their strength and do a big job at the All-Star Game.
This season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a good record and are currently ranked above the Bulls and are the first team in the East.
James was already lacking in various honors, and now he is naturally bound to win this All-Star MVP.
And Wade has nothing else to do because of the team's average record, and he also wants to play with the All-Star MVP.
Doon had a good personal relationship with Wade, but he didn't help much this time.
Now that the Bulls are hostile to all teams in the league, although the Heat are in a belly, Wade is not merciful every time he meets Doon.
Although Doon doesn't hold grudges, it is impossible to waste his energy to help Wade do such a big favor.
What's more, in this year's All-Star Game, James still has helpers by his side.
Unless Doon lets Garnett and Roel Deng play together, he really can't help Wade compete for James.
In line with the attitude that more is better than less, Du En simply hung up on his own business, and the two did not help each other, and sat back and watched how this year's All-Star Game went.
In other words, the Lakers were not discouraged by successive losses to the Bulls in the Finals.
Under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers have also had quite good momentum this year and are currently the No. 1 team in the West.
Although the Lakers only Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol were selected for this All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant's prestige on the Western All-Star team is good.
A few years ago, the Western All-Stars were beaten by the Eastern All-Stars, and this year, seeing that the three of Doon were not very involved, they also wanted to take advantage of the uneven morale of the Eastern All-Stars to take revenge.
In fact, the first three quarters were fine, and after the third quarter, the difference was only 6 points.
Therefore, this year's fourth quarter was also very intense and exciting.
It's not just about the difference, it's about staffing.
The main players on both sides competing for the All-Star MVP happen to be James and Kobe, which makes the fourth quarter basically the first in the East and West, and the confrontation between the core players of the two teams.
They are all all-stars, and everyone's strength is actually very close.
Moreover, the fourth quarter was all real play, and the All-Stars who played on the court were not like the three Doon sitting off the court, who purely put on a bad mentality and ate melons.
However, James led the Eastern All-Stars to compete with the Western All-Stars led by Kobe, and in the end he still lacked some key ball ability.
Bryant scored four points in the last two minutes to help the Western All-Stars win the final victory.
After the game, Bryant successfully lifted the All-Star MVP trophy with 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals on 12-of-23 shooting.
As former teammates, Doon and O'Neal invariably stepped forward to congratulate Kobe.
Kobe Bryant also smiled and hated, hugging and thanking each other with Doon and O'Neal.
"Do you have time in the evening? How about a meal together? ”
Maybe it's because he won another All-Star MVP and was in a good mood, Kobe Bryant said that he wanted to have a meal.
Dunn was naturally unkind: "A few more people, right?" Please one is please, please two is also please, I have many brothers, it shouldn't delay you anything! ”
"Of course, there are so many people, call your teammates, I'll have a treat!"
Kobe Bryant knew Doon's personality, and he didn't deduct and search, showing a lot of generosity.
Doon smiled and replied, "When it comes to the finals, I'll treat you!" (End of chapter)
