After winning the Eastern Conference G1, the psychological advantage of the Bulls to win this series has undoubtedly become greater.

Last season, in Doon's absence, the Bulls were able to play the Heat Big Three, and now that Doon is back, winning has indeed become easier.

After Doon's return, the defensive holes in the Bulls' guard line have basically been filled by Doane.

Because the Bulls play the No. 2 position, Doane has the height of the forward, and the overall height advantage is also highlighted.

Coupled with Doon's all-round offensive skills and his own attractive defensive characteristics, it can undoubtedly increase the Bulls' grasp of key shots, as well as bring some help to other teammates, and make the whole team more competitive.

Doon's role on the court is clear, his stats are flawless, and the Bulls' regular season record is impeccable, but this season's regular season MVP did not fall into Doon's hands.

As Doon had predicted, the alliance still used Doon to carry the sedan chair for the others.

With 54 first-hand votes, 40 second-hand votes, and seven third-hand votes, a total of 855 points, Wei Shao was elected MVP for the 14-15 season.

With 28 first votes, 41 second votes, and 32 third votes, Doon scored a total of 727 points, ranking second in MVP.

James, who was third in MVP, also received 19 first-round votes, but there were not many second-hand and third-round votes, but there were some fourth-hand and fifth-minute votes, and he only scored 298 points in the end, which was far from Doon and Wei Shao.

In other words, after the regular season MVP award was announced, there were people inside and outside the league who complained about Dune.

However, Doon himself took the time to be interviewed by the media, expressing his congratulations to Wei Shao, and even praising Wei Shao as an indispensable team leader of the Thunder.

It's just that I don't know if such an off-the-board move will shake the foundation of the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals in advance.

"Durant, this guy shouldn't let me down, right?"

Doon thought that Durant could go to the Western Conference finals and consume more physical strength, and even if the Thunder reached the Finals, Doane could easily win the championship, and then establish a second Bulls dynasty of his own in the form of a five-year triple crown.

Because there is still some time before the Finals, Doon has not studied the opponents of the Finals, but has refocused on the Heat Big Three.

And the same is true of the Big Three of the Heat!

After the G1 loss, the Heat felt more pressure from top to bottom of the game, and the Heat coaching staff was also thinking hard about how to beat the Bulls to win this series.

With offense, the Heat did not have a consistent three-point output, and relying only on impacting the basket and mid-range, they were far from the Bulls' opponents.

Thinking about it, all the Heat can fight is defense.

Time came to May 22 in a blink of an eye, and the Eastern Conference Finals G2 began.

After the start of the first quarter, the Heat continued to show super defensive aggression, limiting the Bulls' outside shots by infinite defensive changes.

It was also noticed that the defensive movements of the Heat players were not clean, with frequent foot-stepping movements and threats, and the Bulls once again sacrificed the Princeton system to play simple balls from the backdoor to the basket as much as possible.

However, the Heat players, who are desperate to win this game, will definitely not let the Bulls score so easily.

Even if the Bulls outside players slip to the basket and cut successfully, someone on the Heat side will inevitably come over to help defend and then make more moves.

Sometimes it seems to be grabbing rebounds, but in fact, it doesn't give a foothold at all.

Sometimes it seems to be interfering with the basket, but in fact, it is common to reach out and pull and push the waist.

In short, even if the Bulls players succeed in the empty cut, they will be subjected to a lot of physical confrontation on an empty basket, and if they are not prepared in advance, there is even a certain risk of injury.

Playing is the most taboo distraction! When you simply get to the basket and pay attention to what kind of situation is at your feet, the Bulls' overall shooting percentage will naturally decline.

What's more, the frequent physical confrontation has also made the layup feel decline, and the finishing methods under the basket such as playing boards, pulling rods, throwing, and hooking hands have become more unstable.

In the case of the referee turning a blind eye, even if the Bulls can rely on the Princeton system to create some tactical scoring opportunities, they also fail to score empty baskets from time to time because of the individual ability of the players.

The Heat relied on protecting the rebound, taking the opportunity to start a transition offense, plus taking advantage of the penalty and scoring a lot of points.

Even if the Bulls have the advantage of lineup and adaptation tactics, it is difficult to open up the difference all at once like in the last game.

The Bulls play the Princeton system, and whoever plays the basket will be subject to a lot of physical confrontation and malicious fouls.

The Bulls play a block and break points, the ball carrier will be pinched, and the off-ball shooter may also face the threat of stepping feet.

The Bulls players on the court played very cautiously and carefully, and occasionally became very angry because they were physically violated and failed to play offensively.

The Bulls fans at the scene also felt the same way, and constantly booed and even insulted the referee, but the three referees on the scene still went their own way, obviously with a task.

In this regard, the Bulls can only replace defense with offense, and take the initiative to name James from the third quarter to consume James's physical strength through singles.

Judging from the effect of the roll call tactic in the last game, as well as the results of the game, this is indeed a winning strategy and an excellent tactic.

However, taking the initiative to name James, this also aroused the fighting spirit of the embarrassed and angry James in advance.

James, who is fully defending, does have a defensive effect at the level of defense, even if Doon leans back to beat James, it will take a lot of effort to succeed in singles.

The overall shooting percentage dip was predictable.

Fortunately, it was also difficult for James to stick to a tough defense for the entire quarter, let alone let James put all his physical strength into the defensive end in the second half.

To put it bluntly, because of his personality, it's okay for James not to defend, but it's too difficult for him not to score.

Unless it comes to the Finals, James' teammates play far above him, otherwise after a few rounds of defense, James will still find opportunities to be lazy on the defensive end, and then look for more opportunities on the offensive end.

It was for this reason that the Bulls finally broke through James' defense halfway through the third quarter, making him lose the patience to defend with all his might.

James took the initiative to back down, which made the Bulls' scoring rise a lot faster.

However, James also relied on fast serve and fast attack, and his personal data increased significantly.

Of course, in terms of the overall effect, the Bulls are still the winners.

82-91, the Bulls entered the fourth quarter with a nine-point lead.

After a short intermission, the Heat returned James to the court as early as the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The Bulls had an advantage, but Doane was not in a hurry, but let the death double front formed by George and Xiaoka continue to lead the team to blast James.

James can play into conversions, and George and Xiaoka are not impossible.

Even Xiaoka can rely on defense to pinch James, cut off James in the face, and then the spear went straight into the storm and deducted one, which is extremely morale-boosting!

After more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, Xiaoka was tired and replaced by Doon to serve James.

It didn't take long for the sweaty James to finally get a chance to take a breather.

But by the time James returned to the court, the margin had widened to 14 points.

Looking at the game time, there is less than the last half of the quarter.

It's not that this point difference can't be chased, but it's difficult with the Heat's ability.

The Heat don't have a three-point shot, and they don't have the ability to chase points in an outburst.

Just by switching offense and playing a weak team without a top forward, there is a chance to erase the point difference in just two or three minutes, but playing a championship team like the Bulls with a super forward group, it is basically no fun.

It seems that seeing that there is no hope of winning, James no longer takes the ball frequently and hits the ball, but gives the ball to other teammates to play.

Of course, once there is an opportunity to switch, James can still rejuvenate and attack as fast as a tiger.

DuangDuang——

In the last three minutes of the game, the Heat died as a live horse doctor, and more tried to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

It's a pity that no one can find the feel, and no one can stand up.

With the Heat producing a lot of iron, the Bulls replaced most of the rotation bench players in advance, and won the game without much effort.

"I've said before that I don't care what people say about me, I don't care about MVP.

I would prefer that the credit will be transferred to my team-mates, who are really trying.

Without their help, I couldn't have won tonight on my own.

It was also because of them that I had the belief to win!

Eastern Conference champions, championships, Bulls dynasty, I'm sure there will be! ”

After winning G2, Doon finally stopped pretending in the post-match interview and openly released the championship declaration and dynasty declaration.

The first two home courts of the Eastern Conference Finals have been won, and even if the Bulls are not good at the road next, they can go back to their home court to find a way.

Besides, the best news for the Bulls is that there have been no losses in personnel.

The complete Bulls basically can't find any opponents this season, and the only ones who pay a little attention are the Heat, Thunder and a few other teams.

Moreover, what the bulls are afraid of is not the strength of their opponents, but the fear of uncontrollable accidents.

As long as this series can be safely passed, it is only a matter of time before the championship is won! (End of chapter)
