Chapter 299: Sit on two and look at one, and win the scoring title
"Josh, welcome back!"
By the time Doon, Garnett, and Roel Deng returned to Chicago from Phoenix, Josh Smith, who had returned from injury, had already returned to the team early to complete his check-in.
This means that the bull is back to full form.
However, Josh Smith has been injured for two months, and his physical condition has indeed dropped a lot.
In addition, the shooting level is also lacking, although it was not much better before, but the ability to shoot from close to the rim is still there.
After the test of the team's actual combat training, Josh Smith has shown that he does not have the level to play as a starter for the time being.
In this regard, the team's head coach Scott Skels can only talk to Josh Smith first and persuade him to start from the bench.
Josh Smith walked down the steps given by Scott Skeys, apparently accepting Scott Skyles' proposal.
After all, Josh Smith has also been keeping an eye on the team's situation while recovering from injury.
He already knew that Doon had become different during the time he had undergone surgery and recuperated from his injuries.
Dhorn is no longer a team glue that is amiable to everyone, and now he is more of a dictator, a solitary king that no one dares to anger him.
In addition, Ben Gordon, Roel Deng, Garnett played the starting XI with Doon, and their stats also declined.
In Josh Smith's view, instead of grabbing the ball in the starting lineup, it is better to take the initiative to bring substitutes and find opportunities to play more statistics.
Of course, it's a good strategy to get a feel in the bench and get back into shape.
It is also because Josh Smith is willing to make "sacrifices" that in the second half of the regular season after the All-Star Weekend, the Bulls' record is still stable, and Doon's performance is still bright.
Fast forward to early March, and Doon's scoring average has risen to 27.2 points per game, second only to Wade's 30.6 points and James' 28.5 points.
If this continues, Doon is likely to surpass Wade to win the scoring title in the last 20 games.
However, the Heat and the Cavaliers have relatively good records, and they are still stable in the playoffs this year.
If, like General Robinson, he sacrifices some face for the scoring title, Doon may not be able to grab the scoring title.
After all, Dunn has won so many championships, if he deliberately brushes the data for some honors, it is undoubtedly a forced style and a practice of himself.
In order to avoid missing out on the scoring title this year, Doon can only show the form of the playoffs in advance, and try to brush the average points per game data to the top of the list before April arrives.
Doon erupted further, shocking both inside and outside the league.
Supergiants are far more stable than ordinary stars, and that's right.
However, under normal circumstances, it is terrible to play 40+ performances all day long, and occasionally perform sluggishly with about 30 points.
It is worth mentioning that Doon's scoring is not the same as other stars.
Doon was very efficient in scoring, and even though he was in poor form in a few games, shooting only 40% from the field, his true shooting percentage was still over 50%, and it didn't hold the team back.
In some games with a better feel, Doon often scored 20 points in a single quarter, and scored more than 40 points or even more than 50 points in more than 20 shots in the whole game.
"We all know that this year's Doon has been different.
After winning three consecutive Olympic gold medals, Doon's mindset changed.
Today's Doon has no shortcomings!
He has the best body in the league, the strongest technique, the most mature mentality, and he is a perfect leader!
Perhaps we can look forward to whether Doon, who won the scoring title and the MVP of the regular season, can continue to win in the playoffs and win the championship! ”
"By my point, Doon deserved the regular season MVP last year!
It's not the first time I've stressed that Doon is the best player in the league.
Not only did he lead the Chicago Bulls to three consecutive championships, but he also led the team to defeat the Dream Team to win the gold medal at the Olympics!
These are remarkable feats, and Doon has been able to do them all because of his unrivalled prowess.
As long as Doon is equipped with the right teammates, Doon can lead those guys to victory!
The Chicago Bulls are still the championship this year, and I'm sure they'll continue to be successful! ”
"I admit that Doon is the best player in the league, but this year's Los Angeles Lakers have come out stronger!
The Chicago Bulls are not without problems, everyone has heard of it, right?
Doon just used his personal strength to suppress the contradictions in the locker room, but the problem was not solved, was it?
We've all played and know that some things are going to blow up.
Doon's style of play can really bring victory to the team, but I don't think we can continue to play like this.
The Chicago Bulls have five top-paid players, but now it seems that everyone except Doon and KG are not up to par.
Comparatively speaking, the Los Angeles Lakers guys played well.
Kobe Bryant recently won the All-Star MVP, and Kobe Bryant is in his prime.
The Los Angeles Lakers also have three quasi-All-Star caliber players, and their starting lineup is even more efficient and powerful than the Chicago Bulls! ”
As we move into April, basketball commentators in North America are focusing on MVP-caliber players and championship contenders.
As the league's No. 1 villain and the favorite to win the championship this season, the Bulls are still the focus of discussion.
As the boss of the Bulls, Doon, who has played exceptionally well this season, has naturally become the focus of controversy.
Of course, this is also because there is traffic to discuss Doon, whether it is to praise Doon or belittle Doon, it can gain a large audience.
In recent months, Doon seems to have been on the same level as Jordan, and even if there are a few commentators who disparage Doan, basketball has largely acknowledged that Doon has the level of Jordan who has three in a row this season.
In the eyes of most Doon fans, as long as Doon can continue to win the championship this season and win four consecutive championships, then he can sit on the second and look at the first, and he can really look to Jordan.
A small number of die-hard fans even believe that winning four consecutive championships will surpass Jordan, on the grounds that Jordan has not achieved four consecutive championships......
It's also Doon who played too well, and recently there were reporters who provoked trouble and asked Doon similar questions to see if Doon felt that he could compete with Jordan and whether he surpassed Jordan.
Doon can only say that he is a fan of Jordan, and some techniques are still learned from Jordan's game videos.
Of course, being confident means that Jordan is first at other times, and if you have to choose one between yourself and Jordan, you will choose yourself, which is the confidence of the scorer, and this answer is not wrong.
However, whenever the performance is not good, it is easy to be turned out by the little black man, and the truth is made public, and then their own fans will take this as evidence of the little black man's smear, which will then cause disputes between fans.
Doon won't give the little black a chance, so he behaves more generously.
Besides, being a Jordan fan is not ashamed, but it seems to respect the predecessors and inherit it in an orderly manner.
Even if Doon really wants to fight, he should fight with practical actions.
If you also have three consecutive championships, or six consecutive championships, or seven championships in your hand, will you still use your own mouth to fight for it when the time comes?
The players still talk with basketballs!
This year is a more important year for Doon to speak with the ball.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is April 15th.
Chicago Union Center, the closing game, the score was fixed at 98-107.
The Bulls have a very high home win percentage this season, losing just two of their 41 home games.
Tonight, as usual, the Bulls defeated the Raptors at home to win their 61st regular season game of the season.
"Doon, congratulations! I'm sure this year's championship will still be you! ”
After the game, Bosh took the initiative to come to Doon for a hug and talk.
As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, Doon can only comfort Bosh who failed to lead the team to the playoffs, and after a few words of comfort, he made a request to exchange jerseys and sell Bosh a face.
Bosh took Doon's jersey and took a picture with the photographer on the sidelines side of the court, and then returned to the locker room satisfied.
Doon, on the other hand, was intercepted by reporters on the scene after Bosh left.
"Doon, congratulations on winning tonight! How do you feel about your team winning 61 games this season and winning the scoring title at the same time? ”
Previously, Doon had already increased his scoring average to 30.8 points per game, and tonight Doon scored another 41 points, bringing his average to 30.9 points per game.
Before the closing game, Wade, who averaged second points per game this season, averaged 30.4 points per game.
This also means that unless Wade scores more than 70 points tonight, it is impossible to surpass Doon to win the scoring title.
It can be said that now Doon's scoring title is a certainty.
It is precisely for this reason that the reporter congratulated Doon in advance on winning the scoring title, and it is relatively normal to ask Doon for a scoring champion testimonial.
"You know, Dwyane is my brother, and this guy is unbelievably strong.
He's so good at scoring! In my opinion, he is Michael, who is 5 cm shorter!
His game shouldn't be over yet, anything is possible and I'm sure he can do something miracle tonight.
If Dwyanne wins the scoring title, I'll bless him. ”
Although Doon also knew very well that the scoring champion should be stable, he didn't say too much.
Of course, the scoring title is about to be won, and in more than half a month, there may be a regular season MVP.
Life must be happy, and Doon must take advantage of this opportunity to pretend to be the first.
"You know, I'm very well-rounded and scoring is just a way for me to contribute to the team.
What I care more about than the scoring champion is that we have won 61 games this season!
You know, all the teams give their all when they come up against us, and all the outside players want to prove themselves in front of me.
Many players were at the Union Centre and played their best performances of the season.
But in the end we won most of the games, which was not easy.
Here, I have to thank our team-mates, I have to thank our fans.
It's your dedication that allows me to perform so well and make the team so good!
Now that the regular season is over, we need to get back into the playoffs.
Our goal has never changed, and that is to continue defending the championship! ”
As Doon said, the Bulls have played 60+ wins in the league, which is not easy.
However, this year's playoffs are not entirely free of pressure for the Bulls to advance, with the Cavaliers and Celtics in the East alone, two 60-win teams.
Among them, the Cavaliers are 66-16 and advance to the Eastern Conference playoffs with the first place in the East.
Among Eastern Conference teams, the Bulls have a second record behind the Cavaliers, with 61 wins and 21 losses, and second in the East.
The Celtics also relied on the Big Three configuration and a stronger bench lineup than last year to achieve a good record of 60 wins and 22 losses, and advanced to the playoffs with the third place in the East.
As for the Heat, who are fourth in the East, they still rely on the first principle of division to come in.
In fact, the record is not as good as the Pistons, but it doesn't matter, this year's Eastern championship teams are mainly the Cavaliers, Bulls, and Celtics.
The championship favorites of previous years, the Heat and Pistons, no longer have the strength to compete for the championship.
The situation in the West is similar to that in the East, although there is only one team with 60 wins, the Lakers, but there are also three teams with 55 wins: the Spurs, the Trail Blazers, and the Mavericks.
This year, the Bulls' three consecutive championships have led to competition in the East, but the intensity of the Western championship team has not weakened.
The Lakers, Spurs, and Mavericks are at least three-star lineups, and the Trail Blazers are relying on rookie bonuses.
If you don't have any other teams, you won't be competitive, and you can only become cannon fodder for the playoffs.
[Congratulations on winning the NBA scoring title in the NBA 08-09 season with an average of 30.9 points per game.] You have achieved the NBA Scoring Champion achievement and received a chance to draw the NBA Scoring Champion Player Template Lottery, is it a lottery? 】
Doon had finished his post-match interview and was really going home to rest, but he didn't expect to hear the familiar sound of the system lifting in his ears.
It seemed that Wade's side had just finished the game.
In this regard, Doon also made a phone call to Wade with great interest, but he didn't expect the phone to go through.
"Brother, how are you doing? How many points did you score tonight? ”
"Brother, I want to congratulate you, I didn't perform well tonight, the scoring champion is yours!"
Wade's voice was a little tired, but he quickly picked himself up again.
"It's okay, the playoffs are our stage and I'm sure you can do better in the playoffs.
This year I won the scoring title, and next year you will have a chance to win the scoring title, and then we will take our turns.
Of course, you can try to win the regular season MVP, but this year maybe I'm competing with LeBron. ”
Doon comforted Wade and pretended to be forced again.
The regular season is over, and the stats of Doon and James are actually not much different.
James's data has improved by leaps and bounds this year, mainly because Doon was sanctioned by the league at the beginning, and the league needs to praise newcomers, while Stern has always valued James, even if James did not play well in the world championship, he still gave many opportunities.
This year, James was ashamed and brave, and he did play better in the regular season.
Therefore, in order to encourage James, James still has a certain chance to snatch the regular season MVP from Doon. (End of chapter)
