"KD you did a great job tonight and I'm looking forward to seeing you in the playoffs!"

"Chris, maybe congratulations in advance, I think you'll be the best player tonight.

Your performance on the pitch has blown my eye on me and you deserve it.

Also, I wish you the best of luck in the upcoming regular season and playoffs.

I hope the West is no longer dominated by a bunch of old guys, as it used to be. ”

141-145, the Eastern All-Stars trailed the Western All-Stars by 4 points, so tonight's All-Star MVP will only be selected from the Western All-Stars.

Normally, he must be the top scorer on the Western All-Star team and won tonight's All-Star MVP.

However, Durant, who scored the most tonight, was named All-Star MVP in last year's All-Star Game.

Although tonight's critical moment, it was Durant who fully showed his unparalleled talent and relied on stand-up singles to win it.

But because of the unspoken rules of the All-Star Game, Durant is just making a wedding dress for Paul, who has the second best performance on the team.

As a person who has come over, Doon naturally knows very well what will happen next.

After the game, he took the initiative to go on the court and chatted with Durant and Paul, who were about to leave the court, fully demonstrating the demeanor of the league's predecessors.

"Don't worry, Doon, I won't miss my appointment.

I hope you can get back on the stage of the Grand Finals!

We are not afraid of failure, we are afraid that we will not have a chance for revenge.

Like tonight, if you were on the pitch at the last minute, we probably wouldn't have won so easily.

But alas, I didn't get to see you in the fourth quarter.

I'm more interested in beating you than I'm interested in winning the game.

Of course, I also know that my team-mates and I still have some work to do, and we have to work harder and be better. ”

Durant's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and it was clear that he wanted to prove himself by defeating Doon.

It's a pity that Doon has never given Durant this chance.

Durant participated in the London Olympics and became the top scorer of the Dream Ten team, thinking that he could beat Doane with the help of the Olympics.

Unexpectedly, Doon was eliminated from the quarterfinals early because of the poor strength of his men's basketball teammates.

As for this year's regular season, the Bulls have the league's No. 1 forward group, and they don't even have a CBA around them, basically all of them are first-round picks, and Durant is really not Doon's opponent by relying on teammates such as Wei Shao and Jeff Green.

Of course, the regular season isn't over yet, and Durant has a chance to visit the Union Center to see if he can beat the Bulls and beat Doane on the road.

In other words, after Durant finished saying cruel words to Doon, he quickly gave up his position and walked away in a dashing manner.

Durant also knows who the next stage and spotlight will be.

In addition, Paul had received Doon's encouragement and must have something to say to Doon.

Therefore, Durant did not deliberately stay here to listen to the root of the wall.

"I'm very happy to have your recognition from Doon and I will learn from you and become a great star like you.

I'm not too sure about the playoffs right now, but I'm going to try what you said and fix the old stuff in the West.

Don't worry, my teammates and I will quickly adjust our state and then appear in front of you as the strongest in the West! ”

Paul can also guess that the All-Star MVP is probably stable.

The next honors he can pursue, in addition to the regular season MVP, are also the championship and the finals MVP!

Anyway, the best team, the best defensive lineup, Paul is definitely not lacking.

And if you want to win the regular season MVP, championship, FMVP and other honors, you have to go to challenge Doon, the leader of the league.

"I'm looking forward to your performance!" Doon patted Paul on the shoulder, relinquished center stage, and turned to leave.

Then, as everyone expected, Paul picked up the sparkling All-Star MVP.

This made Wade, James, Anthony and others, who were once again reduced to foils, unwilling.

Paul, the All-Star MVP, is a little bit watery, mainly because of the real battle in the fourth quarter tonight, and the West is mainly Durant in C.

The fact that Durant was able to become the scoring leader of the Dream Ten team last summer and was incredibly efficient in scoring has already said something.

At the end of the day, basketball is the sport of the big guys.

Even in the small-ball era when centers withered, big men had unlimited advantages on the court, let alone big men like Doane and Durant who could shoot.

Fortunately, there is only one Alliance ruler like Doon who has no solution to attack, tough defense, and unlimited physical strength.

Durant's offense is strong, but his defensive deterrence is not as great as Dourne's, and his physical strength is not as long as Dourne's.

Now Durant compares to Doon, and the only advantage is that he is young.

At the moment, the opinion of most people inside and outside the league is that when Doon is no longer the leader of the alliance at his peak, Durant is at the peak and can perfectly succeed him as the next leader of the alliance.

Who would have thought that Doon had already chosen a successor, and there was more than one.

Curry's lack of defense can be compensated for by the talent of the forward group, and the lack of endurance attributes of the small card can also be solved with the talent of the rotation and the forward group.

Of course, it's a bit early to think about these issues.

Now Doon is in the prime of life, and there are at least three or four years left to win the boss championship.

When the years are really unforgiving, and there is a decline in physical condition, you can also follow the example of Abdul-Jabbar and Duncan, and pretend to be dead in normal health basketball.

When it comes to the playoffs, you can come back to school, teach them how to play, and then tell them "the future is yours".

Closer to home, after All-Star Weekend, Doon quickly led the team back to Chicago.

After the start of the second half of the regular season, Doon also gradually showed the form of playing in the playoffs, and throughout March, Doon averaged 29.7 points per game.

If it weren't for helping his teammates brush up on the stats in the first half of the regular season, Doon would still have a chance to compete for the scoring title again this season.

However, Doon's current historical status is not lacking in one or two scoring champions, and the championship is the most important thing!

Fast forward to April, with 52 wins and the Bulls, who have returned to first place in the East, are already in the playoffs.

This also means that Doon is about to attack for his seventh championship!

Of course, the regular season is not over yet, and in the closing stages of the remaining 10 games, the Bulls are united and have finished the regular season with 60+ wins.

And to ensure that the team has a good record while also protecting the main players and giving them more time to rest.

Middleton, who played a season in the Development League, Green and Crowder were also recalled.

In addition, Ray Allen, who was added in the off-season, and Rashad Lewis and Chauncey Billups, who were brought in mid-season.

These three veterans also got more playing time, started warming up early, and actively engaged in the preparation for the playoffs.

There is one thing to say, the bull is the big demon king of the alliance, and the villain is true, but among the group of uncrowned veterans, there is still a good reputation.

Doon has been in contact with Billups before, and in the early years he wanted to team up with Billups, but Billups has a contract that is not cheap, and he wants to win the championship on his own.

It is only in recent years, when he is gradually old and weak, unable to do so, and his career cannot last long, so he lets go of the pride in his heart and chooses to hug Dune's thigh and mix a championship ring.

Speaking of which, this is what Doon owes him, and he also owes him an FMVP.

As for Lewis, that's a credit to the team's general manager, John Paxson.

Although Lewis's athleticism has dropped dramatically and he has little defense, as a shooter, his shooting ability has not declined significantly.

Of course, in the playoffs, Billups and Lewis may not be good, but in the regular season, there is still a place for them.

Anyway, the Bulls also spent money, and in the last ten games of the regular season, they didn't feel bad if they were used.

Fortunately, the overall schedule of the Bulls is still good, and at the end of the regular season, there are only three strong teams, and the remaining seven teams are all lotto teams that have long been rotten.

The Bulls didn't have any last-minute injuries and ended the regular season with a 61-21 record.

"I don't care if we can be three consecutive MVPs or who is going to be the regular season MVP, our goal is always to win the championship.

We've been working on it and we're good at winning in the playoffs.

I believe in my own quality and in my teammates, we trust each other and help each other.

I'm sure we're still the best team and we can succeed again! ”

After the regular season, Doon was interviewed by the media and shouted out the championship declaration early this season.

The Bulls have completed their rebuild last year, won the championship last year, and if they can't defend their title this year, it will be a season of great failure.

However, Doon was not at all worried about this situation.

This season, the Bulls are strong and strong, and they are the only one in the hard power league.

In addition, as early as the offseason, the contract renewal of the main players was resolved, and there is no need to worry about the players who have contract years to make crazy shots in the playoffs for their own selfishness.

There are not many contradictions and problems accumulated in the Bulls, and even if there are, they are individual insignificant players who do not need to be taken seriously.

In the next playoffs, the only thing the Bulls need to pay attention to is injuries, and that's it.

The Bulls' rotation is reasonable, and during the regular season, the players only have minor bumps, and even if there are players injured, it will only be a week or two.

There are no serious injuries to knees, ankles, groin, etc.

Of course, the intensity of the playoffs is certainly greater than that of the regular season, and there is a greater chance of injury due to human factors.

However, because of their own record, the Bulls picked a relatively good opponent in the first round - the Milwaukee Bucks.

This season, the Bucks' regular season record is more than 40 wins, and there are no All-Star level stars on the team, so making the playoffs can only be described as lucky.

Against such an opponent, coupled with the fact that Chicago and Milwaukee are in a strip of water, with the spending power of Bulls fans, the Bulls have a home-court advantage in every game.

At that time, the Bulls will not want to sweep the opponent, and it will be more difficult.

In fact, just as Doon and others thought, since G1, the Bulls have not felt any pressure to play.

The Bucks, who made the playoffs for the first time in recent years, are a little bad at playing, even if they can't defend it, they can't play well offensively.

As a result, Doon played three consecutive three-quarter playoff games.

Until G4, the league couldn't stand it anymore, and the referee had to pull the bias and raise the Bucks, while the Bulls also had the heart to play tacit ball and return to Chicago to win the game again.

Doon did just that, playing more than three minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

It is worth mentioning that when Doane went off the court, the Bucks had already built a 21-point lead with the help of the referees.

Under normal circumstances, the main players of the Bucks can win this game if they play a little bit of time.

Who knows, the Bulls sent a pure bench lineup composed of five rookies, not only did not lose points, but quickly chased back the difference and narrowed it to less than 10 points.

When this kind of thing happens, you can't blame the Bulls players for not talking about ball ethics and destroying tacit understanding.

It's that the Bucks players really can't hold up the wall, and a group of starters can't beat the Bulls' bench lineup.

Of course, the Bulls' benches are also outrageous.

On the one hand, he is young, has little qualifications, does not know how to play tacit ball, and does not have a tacit understanding with the management, and wants to help the team win.

On the other hand, he is indeed talented, and with all his might, the main force of the Bucks not only did not get a bargain, but was beaten to the point of losing his armor.

In just over 3 minutes, the Bulls bench lineup relied on defense to counterattack and chase 13 points in a row with physical talent.

In this case, Bulls head coach Scott Skels had no choice but to remove the bench players and replace them with the starting five Tigers led by Doane.

The Bulls' playoffs, in North America alone, have millions of viewers, to say the least.

Therefore, there is hope on the court that they can turn defeat into victory and win, and the Bulls cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb, and deliberately give up the game when they can win.

Not to mention, this year is the most critical year for Doon's historical status, and Doon also has to take care of his reputation a little.

The tacit ball can be played, but if you lose too fake, it will become a fake game.

Scott Skels obviously has this in mind, teaming up with Doon to win five championships, even if he doesn't have any goods in his stomach, he has become famous and coached.

Scott Skels, like Doon, also needs to pay attention to public opinion.

It was also with this in mind that Scott Skels made timely substitutions for Doon and others.

Next, the picture presented on the court did not surprise everyone.

Doon scored seven points in a row after coming on the court, and even though the Bucks scored three points during the period, the score was still narrowing.

With a 5-point deficit remaining, the Bulls quickly erased it, and the Bulls defended successfully for two consecutive rounds, relying on George's transition offense and Curry's three-pointer, just to tie it.

With just over two minutes left in the game, Doon relied on two consecutive rounds of low-post singles to quickly help the Bulls build a four-point lead.

The Bucks still had no one to step up and score until the end of the game, and the Bulls won the game by seven points.

No one expected that this game, which should have been very boring, would achieve such an amazing reversal in just 12 minutes of play time in the fourth quarter!

The Bucks went from leading by 21 points at the start of the fourth quarter to trailing by 7 points and losing!

This situation is not only incomprehensible to Bucks players and fans, but even Bulls fans are a little surprised.

38 points in a single quarter? What a terrible reign!

After the Bulls swept the Bucks to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, both the Eastern and Western championship teams had to take their time to re-study the Bulls. (End of chapter)
