On June 7, at the Staples Center, the finals G2 were held as scheduled.

Originally, Doon was worried that this game would be difficult to play, after all, G1 was not so comfortable before.

Considering that if you want to win the finals, you will have to win at least one game on the road, and Doon is ready to fight hard to win tonight's game.

Unexpectedly, after the game started, the Bulls players played very well overall.

Perhaps it was the referee's decision that inspired the Bulls players to rebel and promote the Bulls to become more united within the Bulls.

After the game officially started, the Bulls played team basketball, which is usually rare.

Although the Bulls also had some smashing and passing tactics before, under normal circumstances, it was more Doon and Cassel who connected the team.

Other times, it's either a matter of taking the ball and attacking on its own, or taking advantage of the opportunity to switch offenses and pull the score apart.

The Lakers studied the Bulls before the game, but tonight the Bulls made one or two more passes per round, which made the Lakers a little bit uncomfortable.

In order to limit Dwan, the Lakers were forced to play joint defense, and the Bulls passed the ball many times, which just concentrated the weak link of the Lakers' outside defense.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 27-23, and although the Bulls only led by four points, it was built in a situation where the free throw was clearly unfavorable.

After the game entered the second quarter, Roel Deng became the top player on the Bulls' second lineup, and the Bulls focused on the Lakers' wing defense, and weakly broke down.

After Deng scored eight straight points in just four minutes, Doon was back on the court.

Kobe Bryant, who also returned to the court, could only choose one person to defend, and when he lacked skills, he could only defend Rohr Deng who was in good condition first, and strive to press Rohr Deng down first.

As a result, Doon's point broke out unsurprisingly.

Doon came up and made five three-pointers in a row, and although he only made three, the scoring efficiency was already exaggerated.

Doon's performance was so good that the Zen master shouted a timeout to slow down.

However, after the timeout, Doon was still in great shape when he returned to the court, making two more three-pointers for the remainder of the second quarter.

Doon made a three-point shot, and the Bulls had more room to attack, and the other points benefited from it, and Dwan made some three-pointers.

In other words, if the referee wants to intervene in the game, he must also seize the opportunity.

Doon didn't start walking, the Bulls didn't cover the foul, the Lakers players couldn't stop the Bulls players from shooting three-pointers from the outside in a row, and the referees naturally couldn't do anything.

It is precisely because of this that the Bulls' rhythm of the game and shooting feel were not disrupted, and after a three-point rain, the score was untenable.

Relying on 11-5 and 9-4 before and after the timeout, two consecutive waves of small climaxes, the Bulls further stretched the score in the second quarter and firmly established a double-digit advantage.

After halftime, the Lakers players who returned to the court were obviously in a hurry.

Kobe Bryant held the ball early and hit the basket, wanting to activate O'Neal Jr. and Gasol Jr.

But the problem is that Kobe doesn't like to call for pick-and-roll, and it is already very difficult to force Doon, not to mention that there is a Garnett behind Doon.

Tonight, Doon avoided being troubled by fouls, and did not choose to force a physical confrontation to lock Kobe, but cooperated with Garnett to pinch the attack.

Bryant was a little obsessed with the game, apparently forgetting that the referee was in their favor.

If Bryant continues to kill the basket with the ball, he may be able to cause a kill and get to the free throw line, leaving Garnett in trouble with too many fouls in advance.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't expect this stubble, and maybe he also wanted to win the game by hard power, and he didn't bother to do so.

In short, Bryant's shot selection in the third quarter was more of a picturesque step-back jumper.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant had no problem with his physical strength, and he could still rely on his personal strength to shoot these balls with a shooting rate of about 50%.

However, the middle distance does not quench the thirst, and the score is very slow.

At this time, Kobe Bryant has only one idea in his mind, and that is to throw more mid-range shots to help the Lakers solve difficulties.

However, in the next game, with the decline in physical strength, Kobe Bryant became the key to the Bulls biting the score and even reopening the point difference.

In terms of scoring in the third quarter alone, Kobe Bryant's 13 points in a single quarter is not too bad.

On the contrary, it was Doon, who only scored 8 points and performed averagely.

However, Kobe Bryant made 11 shots in a single quarter, which made too many shots, which also affected the feel and state of other players.

In addition, he missed a lot of balls, and the Bulls seized the opportunity to play a transition offense.

Because of this, the score came to 83-68 after the third quarter, and the Bulls had built a 15-point lead.

Seeing that the Bulls are going to win, the three referees tonight naturally have to try to intervene in the game.

However, in the fourth quarter, the Bulls played extremely resolutely, not choosing to press the rhythm of the game, but attacking vigorously.

Doon and others have long guessed that the Lakers will have more opportunities to stand on the free throw line.

This also means that even if Doon and others run desperately, they have a lot of time to catch their breath on the field.

And from the perspective of penalties, the Bulls can't win the game by fighting defense tonight.

Only by attacking, continuing to attack, and hitting another 20 or even 30 points in a single quarter, can the Bulls have a chance to win this game.

After all, so many people watched the finals, and it was okay for the whistle to be a little off, but it couldn't be too outrageous, and something like 20 penalties in a single quarter was unlikely.

And a large number of free throws will also occupy some shooting rights, and the Lakers are unlikely to rely on a dozen shots in a single quarter to cut down more than 20 points.

Therefore, the safest way for the Bulls is to score, and the referee can't interfere too much with scoring.

The shot goes in, and it is impossible to blow the late whistle after the goal is shot, indicating that someone has committed a foul without the ball before the shot.

The Bulls have enough experience to win, and they have enough belief to win.

Relying on steady and ruthless shooting, protecting the rebound as much as possible, and frantically switching offense, the Bulls had already scored 15 points before the fourth quarter of the game was halfway through.

The margin on the court has also widened to 21 points.

When the Bulls are all out of the picture, the Lakers don't know what to do.

In the end, the Zen master only left Kobe Bryant on the field to resist stubbornly for a while, and the other main forces withdrew in advance and surrendered.

113-90, the Bulls won the finals G2 by as many as 23 points, and took advantage of it.

"I've been emphasizing that we are the defending champions and that my teammates are incredible!

We've been playing together for so many years and we can trust each other completely.

Even if I'm defended, I'm sure my teammates will step up and win the game. ”

In the G2 interview, Doon touted his teammates with high interest.

Tonight's big win is completely beyond Doon's imagination, and it will also be very helpful to win the finals in the future.

While Doon touted his teammates, Garnett and others also praised Doon, who scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists tonight, and praised Doon.

"It's impossible to completely defend against Doon, Doon is too hard to defend, I've tried.

He's capable of anything on the pitch and I'm not sure anyone can defend Doon one-on-one.

Sometimes the game is like that, either you choose to limit Doon as a team, or you choose to let Doon score alone.

These are two bottles of poison that are deadly enough!

Tonight we relied on Doon's attraction to get more scoring chances.

However, this season, it has often been the case that Doon has scored like crazy and led us to victory.

Now that Doon is on a stage like the finals, he can still contribute 30+ points steadily, which is really incredible! ”

"Doon is crazy! He scored another 30 points! We just want to go back to Chicago and win, and Doon chooses to bring the victory back to Chicago! ”

"You know, Kobe Bryant is very strong, he's very tough offensively and defensively.

We can only counteract the effect of Kobe Bryant on the court by keeping Doon on the court.

Yes, as long as Doon is on the court, even if he doesn't score, we can get the benefits. ”

Win G2 and move to Chicago, and the next three consecutive games are at the home of the Bulls.

At this juncture, the Bulls won G2 by a huge margin of 23 points, which undoubtedly reassured the Bulls players and fans in advance.

As the Bulls returned to Chicago on a counterattack, the Chicago media and Bulls fans also took action overnight.

For a time, the topic and slogan of the Bulls' four consecutive championships spread all over the United States.

And fans who have watched the finals basically recognize this.

The Lakers were strong, but they couldn't stop the Bulls from winning the championship.

Sometimes, the mental attributes of winning a game are also important.

Judging by the G2 game, the referee was a bit of a helper.

And in the next three games, if the referees continue to help, the Bulls players will inevitably go on to fight together.

On June 9, the much-anticipated NBA Finals started again, and the prelude to the war between the Bulls and the Lakers slowly kicked off at the Chicago Union Center again.

As predicted by the vast majority of media, basketball commentators and fans, the Lakers players who have just moved to Chicago are physically and mentally exhausted and have not adjusted their condition in the first place.

Even if the Bulls players were not in great shape at the beginning of the game, this is the Union Center after all, and it is the home court that the Bulls players are most familiar with.

It is worth mentioning that tonight, the Bulls players finally felt the home-court advantage again.

From the first quarter, it was clear that the whistle was tilted in favor of the Bulls.

Even in the second half, when the referees started blowing the balance whistle, the Bulls had already built a 16-point lead in the first half.

And the balance whistle in the third quarter was not so exaggerated, and the Bulls continued to carry a 13-point lead into the fourth quarter.

It can be said that the next is a copy of G2, and the Bulls did not give up any opportunity to attack, that is, they pressed the Lakers players in momentum.

If you really want to talk about it, after meeting in the Finals for three consecutive years, the Lakers players were also beaten by the Bulls players a little psychologically.

Of course, the paranoid Kobe Bryant is naturally an exception, but no matter how high Kobe's heart is, it won't help.

Kobe Bryant's mental attributes are full, but it is only his own, and some Lakers players are already retreating at this time.

The Lakers' two consecutive losses have already illustrated something - Kobe Bryant doesn't seem to be able to lead them to defeat the Bulls in front of them.

Ten years ago, the Jazz met the Bulls in the Finals.

The Bulls led by Jordan are an insurmountable mountain for the Jazz led by the Utah Twins!

The current Lakers are useless just Kobe Bryant's refusal to admit defeat.

O'Neill Jr. has not been reliable at critical moments, and Gasol Jr. has not been playing so comfortably because he has been playing in the No. 5 position, and his performance is relatively average.

The Lakers' salaries are all focused on a few stars, so don't think that the bench players can stand up and help the Lakers turn defeat into victory.

Besides, the Bulls already know how to beat the Lakers!

Just pick the flanks to play!

The Bulls' forward group is the first in the league in terms of quality, and the Lakers, although not at the bottom, cannot enter the top 10.

It can only be said that the gap between the two teams is really a bit big, whether it is the configuration of players or the quality of the stars, the Bulls are at least one notch higher than the Lakers.

95-107, the Bulls held on to their first home-court advantage by 12 points.

In this way, the score of the finals has also advanced to 2-1, and the Bulls have completely grasped the initiative in the finals with a one-point lead, plus two home-court advantages.

Kobe Bryant also knew that the Bulls lost first and then won, won two games in a row, and their morale was very high, and the situation was very unfavorable for them.

After the game, Kobe Bryant still couldn't hold back and lost his temper in the locker room, although he didn't hit anyone or kick the chair, but his angry appearance was also terrifying.

However, after venting his emotions, Kobe Bryant also apologized to his other teammates in time under the leadership of the Zen master.

The Zen master also led everyone to meditate to resolve the contradictions and pressures accumulated during this time.

To some extent, Kobe's anger was also facilitated by the Zen master.

As early as more than ten years ago, the Zen master single-handedly directed Jordan's violent beating of Cole.

After Jordan finished venting his emotions and took the initiative to apologize to Kerr, the Bulls locker room stabilized and quieted.

Now the Lakers locker room is also in trouble, and some players have ideas in their hearts, but don't say it.

If you don't do anything, don't say anything, keep going like this.

Then when the Lakers are defeated by the Bulls, when the Finals are completely over, and when the championship team Lakers fall apart, these things will also become unknown secrets and continue to be hidden.

If the Lakers want to continue to be competitive, they need to talk to everyone's hearts and resolve the contradictions.

Kobe Bryant was furious, better than everyone pretending to be deaf and dumb.

And the Zen master came forward to be a good man, at least there are people who are willing to work for the Zen master, are willing to listen to the words of the Zen master, and continue to fight in the finals.

Of course, there may also be the Zen master's own thoughts.

But now the Lakers' guns must be unanimous to the outside, after all, the Bulls have put it on the Lakers' neck.

On June 11, G4 of the finals, whether the Lakers can change the trend of the series and regain the opportunity to win the championship basically depends on this game.

Once the Bulls win G4, then the overall score will come to 3-1, and the Lakers are basically certain to be out.

Once the Lakers win this crucial game, they will at least be able to return to Los Angeles with two home-court advantages and be able to turn defeat into victory.

The problem is, no one wants to lose tonight! Bulls choose to go all out! (End of chapter)
