Chapter 364: Crowned King, Future Warrior
In this round of the finals, the Bulls have a 3-0 lead over the Thunder and are about to win the championship.
Then, regarding the next Finals G4, the Bulls are no longer inked.
On June 13, after the finals G4 started, the Bulls were on fire as soon as possible.
Doon hit two three-pointers as soon as he came up, but Curry was the best player on the Bulls throughout the first quarter.
Because both Doon and George made three-point shots, the Thunder didn't have more defensive resources to put too much defensive effort into Curry, who was playing without the ball.
As a result, Curry made piecemeal shots, making three-pointers from time to time.
During the game, the Thunder didn't actually pay much attention to Curry, after all, Doane and George's three-pointers with the ball looked more threatening.
But by the time the first quarter was over, Curry had already made four three-pointers, and he had stolen chickens under the basket and made a shot.
It was also Curry's performance of not possessing the ball, but being able to score 14 points in a single quarter extremely efficiently, forcing the Thunder to adjust the defensive approach to Curry in the future.
The Thunder mobilized defensive resources to strengthen the defense of Curry, and the other points of the Bulls were released.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls let Aldridge take the lead first.
However, it was Ibaka, with the help of outside containment, constantly cutting the basket and getting a lot of opportunities to steal chickens.
Aldridge noticed the situation on Ibaka's side, and instead of insisting on a single shot, he passed the ball to the basket and assisted Ibaka to make several simple shots.
The Bulls kept scoring inside, and the Thunder couldn't stop it, so they could only switch to joint defense and solve the defensive problems in the restricted area first.
As a result, the east wall was demolished to make up for the west wall, and the Bulls' outside shooter group was leaked out again.
It's just that Curry, who had an excellent hand in the first quarter, was still focused on defense.
Even if the Bulls saw Curry's excellent hand, they deliberately arranged a few tactics for Curry to shoot by cover.
However, Curry was constantly pulled by Thunder players when he ran without the ball, and he didn't have too good opportunities to catch the ball and shoot, and in the end he could only serve as bait for other teammates.
Xiaoka and George, with the help of the Thunder's joint defense, the opportunity that the forward players could not prevent, shot several goals outside the three-point line.
By the time Doon was back on the court, the Bulls had an 18-point lead.
In just one and a half quarters, such a score difference was played! Those who don't know think it's not a finals game.
However, facts speak louder than words, and the Bulls have the strength to crush their opponents even in the finals.
And when Doon comes on the court, this game will become a horror game for the Thunder players.
Doon also ran to the low post to attract the defense, forcing the Thunder to continue playing joint defense, and even have to devote some more energy to take care of Doon.
In fact, Doon, who smoked in the bottom corner, didn't touch the ball too much.
On the contrary, Curry couldn't get the ball because he didn't have the ball, so he could only hold the ball and lead the team to attack.
After entering the NBA, Curry started as a magic ball, but Curry is not standing still, eating waste waiting for death, it can be said that after entering the Bulls, Curry has expanded new skills step by step.
Now, Curry has also practiced holding the ball in private.
It's just that Curry likes to play tricks when he holds the ball, and occasionally does a pass that doesn't look at people, and passes the ball on his back.
A lot of times it makes teammates can't react, and then there are mistakes, and of course, sometimes Curry's pass is too outrageous, and this kind of ball can't be saved at all.
Doon has also pointed out this issue to Curry several times.
But Curry nodded and admitted his mistake every time, and then after a while, a solid state sprouted, which can only be said to be easy to change and difficult to change.
In tonight's game, Curry also played a back-handed pass, but fortunately, Xiaoka reacted in time, and after stabilizing the ball, he rushed to the basket to complete the finish.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaoka was the player with the highest score in a single quarter in the second quarter of the Bulls, relying on three points and breakthroughs, scoring 9 points in a single quarter.
In addition to the small card, the Bulls scored more than 5 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and there were 4 people.
Ibaka, Jr., Curry, George, and Doon combined for 33 points, while the Bulls scored a total of 37 points in the second quarter.
The Bulls also relied on the big explosion in the second quarter to stretch the difference to 26 points in one fell swoop, and even if the Thunder had the help of the referee, they were demoralized all of a sudden.
Seeing that the second half had been reduced to garbage time, the referee had to stop it early to reduce its presence.
After halftime, the Bulls didn't rush to kill them all.
At the beginning of the third quarter, it was a semi-main and semi-rotation lineup, with Doon and Aldridge bringing Bradley, Butler, and Vucevic on the court.
The Bulls didn't show much desire to attack, just kept the pace of the game down and waited for work.
If it is a veteran championship team, the Bulls' style of play may be found by the opponent and seize the opportunity to quickly chase points, but the Thunder do not have such ability.
By the time Doon finished the game for more than four minutes in the third quarter, the Bulls still held a 25-point lead.
After Doon and Aldridge went off, Scott Skells brought on Curry and Ibaka, and then slowly replaced other rotation players.
It's easy for opponents to take advantage of this kind of rotation adjustment, even in the regular season.
However, the Thunder has been beaten to the point of losing their temper.
Coach Brooks really doesn't know how to lead the current young Thunder team to win the championship, after all, he has only learned some of Tang Shuai's skin, and he can just make chicken soup.
In today's information age, the personality and will of players are completely different from those of the previous generation.
In this era, many of the stars only have personal strength, but no leadership temperament.
Although Durant is a little handsome, it is difficult to become a big player.
It's also that the Thunder are already confused, chaotic, and each has its own fight, so the Bulls' continuous transfer of people has not affected the outcome of the Bulls' win.
The Bulls entered the fourth quarter with a 28-point lead, and the fourth quarter was no different from the third.
Therefore, before the fourth quarter was played, most of the Thunder fans on the scene had already left.
I have to say that the Thunder players are really angry and sad when they play like this.
Obviously, there was still a fight on paper, but the Thunder didn't resist much and lost.
If last year was swept away, it can be justified by youth, lack of experience, but what about this year?
The performances of Durant and Wei Shao in this round of the Finals made Thunder fans see no hope that they could lead the team to win the championship.
What they could see, though, was that the Bulls beat their home team once again to lift their coveted championship trophy at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"Doon, you are the king of this era, and you have surpassed anyone!
However, I will not give up, I will strive to become the king of the next era!
Wait for me, I will continue to challenge you before you grow old, I will personally take the scepter from your hands, and the future is mine. ”
After the game officially ended, Durant appeared in front of Doon again.
This time, Durant performed better than last year, and did not seem to be depressed, but full of fighting spirit.
"Why did you go earlier?" Doon wanted to complain, but it didn't feel good to be seen as a catch-up target by Durant.
And, Durne heard, Durant wants to be the future of the league, the king of the next generation.
That's great!
"KD, the future is yours! I've always thought so! ”
Doon sent off another future soldier with his own hands. (End of chapter)
