Chapter 393: The Dynasty of the Last Two Minutes
On June 11, Oklahoma City was immersed in rainy days all day.
Even though Thunder fans came to the Chesapeake Energy Arena one after another, the mood was still dull, and there was no way to get excited.
It's over!
The Thunder Dynasty has just had a hint of foreshadowing, and it's over!
54-42, G4 in the finals is only halfway through the game, and the ending seems to have been decided.
The Thunder players played dull tonight, just like the weather tonight.
Even Wei Shao, who is high-spirited on weekdays, has some stage fright today, and his attack is not so resolute.
As for Durant, the other MVP of the Thunder, he only took 6 shots in the first half, which obviously does not fit his character of standing up and playing singles.
In short, I didn't have any ambitions tonight, I just wanted to take one step at a time.
After all, Curry has a natural disadvantage when it comes to defense, rebounding, organization, etc.
Last year, the East decided to beat the Heat, and the Heat wasted people, and he also wasted people.
But Curry, George, and Jr. have a complete team behind the top salary contract, and there are capable people in the team who can see the subtle changes within the Bulls.
If the Bulls' record drops significantly, the team's third child won't even be eligible for the All-Star Game.
In this case, it is better to go out and break through, go to the weak team to be the boss of the team, and at least you can get the privilege of an All-Star star.
Maybe the players on the Bulls team are just playing and don't notice it.
It can only be said that Green is a professional in handling Durant, even if he is not on a team, Green can easily pinch his vital points.
Now, Bulls head coach Scott Skels, who is qualified and qualified, pinned George to the bench until the end of the game.
However, this is the last season of the Bulls' roster, the last game, the last two minutes.
As for Doon himself, it's not that FMVP doesn't want it, nor does it mean that he can't want it, but the league officials are staring at it!
Doon insisted on taking it, and the days ahead would only be more difficult.
The score suddenly stretched to 15 points, and the last remaining morale of the Thunder was also lost by Green.
Both teams scored less, which made the game not so good, but in terms of the level of anxiety of the game, it was indeed quite anxious.
Time was running out, and after halftime, the Bulls returned to the court, and the third quarter of the game began quickly.
For the second half of the game, Doon even encouraged Curry, Xiaoka, George and others to try to grab the Finals MVP.
The bad news is that he has always lived in Doon's back, and no matter how good his performance is, it is difficult for the outside world to notice him.
Away dressing room.
After tonight's game, it is unclear whether the Thunder will be broken up, and the Bulls will definitely tear it down.
As for Doon, he doesn't want to score either, either giving the ball to his teammates or helping other teammates.
However, this is the most important Finals of the whole season, so under the influence of the preconceived ideas of the vast majority of fans, it will feel that this is the iron-blooded defense of ten years ago.
Then, Doon doesn't mind using the remaining half of the game to give Xiaoka a gift.
It is also because the players of both teams have their own careful thoughts.
Drafted by the Bulls, the good news for Curry is that he was valued and cultivated by the team early, and won the championship early.
Moreover, this is still a chicken soup coach like Coach Brooks, a giant thunder that can't be leveled!
Curry's only chance to reap the accolades was last year, when he took advantage of Doon's brief absence to win that damn championship.
Until Green came on the court in the fourth quarter, Green was a good guy and knew whose thighs the team should hold and what to do when.
also saw the contradictions within the Thunder, this time at halftime, Doon did not seize the time to rest, but simply ate a banana and drank some drinks.
Durant was deflated, Wei Shao didn't stand up, and before the game was over, the Thunder had already been sentenced to death.
However, at this time, the Bulls replaced all the main lineup, Curry, Dwan, George, Xiaoka, and Ibaka.
The Bulls are already on the verge of victory, and another championship is within reach.
It has always been a difference of about 10 points, and the Thunder still have a chance to turn defeat into victory, but no one can stand up.
What's more, there is no need to mention Doon's achievements in the past. Even if he plays like a CBA in the next few seasons, he can still sit firmly in the position of the Bulls boss.
The game has been accepted, the victory has been accepted, and this is not the critical moment for the decisive victory, there is no need for the Bulls to play a five-small lineup.
In addition, he was born with a baby face and is better at outside projection when he plays, so it is not easy to get the recognition he deserves in the NBA, a league that claims to be iron-blooded and tough.
At least for Doon, Xiaoka is his own person, and FMVP is in the hands of his teammates.
"Which of you would like to try it? Becoming the star of the second half may surprise you. ”
This year's Finals against the Thunder, neither team hurt, then he will try to score as much as possible and read to end the game.
"I've fantasized about it, but I'm a substitute, so I don't have a chance!" George was the first to be relieved.
Doon is back, and no matter how strong Curry is, he can only be Doon's deputy.
Looking at this frame, it is difficult not to suspect that there is a huge contradiction in the Thunder locker room.
In the next half of the game, the Bulls could even give Crowder and others some training opportunities, and there was no need to send George on the court at all.
It can only be said that the Bulls dynasty that Bulls fans miss has finally continued after a year, but this glorious time is only the last two minutes of glory.
Doon turned his head to Xiaoka and asked, in fact, what Doon wanted to ask was, Xiaoka, are you still ready to continue to assist me?
Curry is willing to be the second oldest and wait two years before taking the position.
"Kehuai, what about you?"
Xiaoka doesn't know if he didn't discuss it with the team, or if he is more entangled in his heart now.
"I'm not qualified enough, if I have the chance, next year!" Curry was the second to make a statement.
The other players of the Bulls felt that the game was won steadily, and they were somewhat relaxed, and some big empty positions and blue opportunities were not grasped.
95-81, with two minutes left in the game, the Bulls still maintained a 12-point lead.
No one expected that the short and sturdy blue-collar workers who were desperately doing the dirty work would suddenly erupt, scoring seven points in a row on the offensive end, and Durant was cut off on the defensive end.
In a way, he's played his final game with the Bulls.
Therefore, no one knows whether the bulls, who have destroyed the Great Wall, will be able to win the championship next season.
In the third quarter, there was a faint hint of chess against opponents, oh no, the smell of rookies pecking at each other.
In this way, Doon is speechless, all of them are so humble, so who should I give FMVP to? You can't send it to your opponent, can you?
It's a pity that I couldn't do it, and then I didn't have a chance.
As a result, Curry has gained very little in terms of personal honors.
However, if Xiaoka is willing to stay, accompany the bull through the period of weakness and reconstruction.
Doon put on such a posture of holding a wisdom pearl and winning steadily, which also attracted Curry and others to look at each other, and no one dared to stand up and talk to Doon in a short time.
Now someone needs to share the burden, who is FMVP bad, why not give it to teammates who are willing to assist themselves?
"Huh!" Xiaoka smiled rarely, and finally only held back one sentence, "Let's talk about the game when it starts!" ”
The things he did in the regular season before and the attitude he showed decided his fate with the Bulls.
One thing to say, the Thunder in the third quarter raised some fighting spirit, but it was just pretending.
Whenever the Bulls players play offense, the Thunder players' body language is frustrated and they don't want to win at all.
What about your little card? What exactly do you think? Willing to waste your peak and be an All-Star?
As time went on, the score was staggered and did not pull apart all at once.
Maybe in a few years, Doon will lead the team to establish another bull dynasty, but by then, things will have long since become the scene of today.
"Congratulations to the Chicago Bulls, congratulations to Doane, for lifting their championship trophy again!"
"It's a victory that the Bulls fans hold onto, and it's a victory that Doon persists!" (End of chapter)
