Chapter 150 The Little Overlord of the East!
Du En is fully prepared to win tonight's game.

In order to limit Arenas' scoring, it is naturally necessary to save some energy on the offensive end and leave it on the defensive end.

The Chinese fans at the scene were a little dissatisfied with this, but the Chicago fans in front of the TV were still very satisfied.

Under the leadership of Du En, the score difference between the two teams quickly widened.

In the first quarter, the Wizards had three shots, and two of them misfired.

Arenas was hard to guard by Duen, and Luol Deng also limited Antawn Jamison's shots. Only Larry Hughes could score in a mid-range single against Ben Gordon.

However, Tyson Chandler blocked the way to the basket, and Larry Hughes could only rely on mid-range scoring, and his scoring efficiency was not high.

"The Wizards can't seem to beat the Bulls!"

"It's normal that the Wizards can't beat the Pistons and Pacers, and it's understandable that they can't beat the Heat with O'Neal, but if they can't beat the Bulls, then this season will be difficult."

"It seems like this is really the case. The bull is stronger than we thought!"

The 04-05 season has been played for more than a month, including the preseason, which is two months.

In the past two months, fans of other teams have only realized that the Bulls played well offensively under Duane's leadership.

I never thought that Duen could not only drive the offense of his teammates, but also use his own offense to urge his teammates to make a qualitative leap on the defensive end.

In terms of single defense, the Bulls youth army is becoming more and more mature and tough.

As long as they don't encounter a team like the Suns that has a master of ball control and organization like Nash, or a team like the Kings that mainly plays the Princeton system, the Bulls' defense will be very effective.

If the team fails, the boss takes responsibility.

Arenas originally wanted to consume Duen first and then find a more suitable time to take action.

But as the point difference widened, Arenas had to step up and take over the game on the offensive end.

As a result, Larry Hughes became Arenas' dribbling defender. When he reached the frontcourt, Arenas immediately used the pick-and-roll to rush to the basket as soon as he received the ball.

In order to prevent Arenas from making shots, Duen could only squeeze the screen, follow Arenas, and shoot without letting go.

However, Arenas' breakthrough speed was too fast. Josh Smith wanted to step forward to delay, but Arenas passed him in one step.

Arenas even used Josh Smith to block Duan's pursuit.

When Duan chased to the basket, Arenas did not choose to lay up by himself. Instead, after attracting Tyson Chandler's defense, he activated Brandon Haywood.

Arenas's style of play is still very rational. It is impossible to score from the outside just by his jump shot, and when he attacks the basket alone, he will also consume a lot of energy due to the physical confrontation under the basket.

Therefore, it is necessary to activate inside teammates.

However, the Bulls are not afraid of the Wizards playing like this.

Before Arenas could run back into the backcourt, Tyson Chandler had already passed a long pass to Luol Deng.

Without Duane participating in the fast break, Luol Deng relied on his excellent physical fitness to play a transition offense under the interference of Antoine Jamison.

Antoine Jamison also wanted to copy the Bulls' success, quickly running out of the baseline to pick up the ball and pass it long to his teammates in the frontcourt.

However, he found that by the time he was ready to serve, the Bulls players had already returned to the backcourt.

If he serves the ball rashly at this time, not only is he likely to be intercepted by the Bulls, but even if he passes the ball to the frontcourt, his teammates will fall into a four-on-five unfavorable situation.

For this reason, Antoine Jamison could only call Larry Hughes to come over.

When the ball passed half court, Arenas continued to take the ball. The Bulls directly flanked Arenas with Ben Gordon and Duan.

Arenas was forced to play the ball, then made a pass error and was intercepted by Duan.

In order to motivate Ben Gordon, Dunn did not choose to lay up himself, but passed the ball to Ben Gordon who was following behind. In the end, the round was ended by Ben Gordon's dunk.

"Gilbert, we will keep an eye on you!"

When Du En returned to defense, he saw Arenas stepping forward to pick up the ball, and continued to talk trash, affecting Arenas.

Arenas was never a promising second-round pick and became the boss of the Wizards in the playoffs. He is naturally very determined and unmoved at all.

However, facing Doon and the Bulls tonight really gave him a headache.

The Bulls' intention to double-team him is already obvious. If he doesn't give the ball to his teammates, he will be restricted and uncomfortable.

If you give the ball to a teammate and you still lose, it will make him look ugly. If you lose, you will lose data!

Arenas naturally didn't want this to happen, so he took a risk on his touch.Just after receiving the ball after halftime, just before the double-team arrived, he shot a super long three-pointer.

Duan also didn't expect that Arenas would be so courageous. Even though he didn't hit a single three-pointer in the first quarter and the Wizards were nearly 10 points behind, Arenas dared to play like this.

Du En turned his head to look and immediately shouted "fuck".

Arenas really put the ball into the basket!

However, just as Arenas raised his hands in celebration and was elated, Duen quickly passed Arenas and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Arenas also hurriedly turned around to chase Duan, but Tyson Chandler's long pass had already been passed.

Arenas is half a head shorter than Duen and cannot interfere with Duen's ball at all.

In the blink of an eye, Duan caught the ball and made a layup, which also caused Arenas to foul.

"Gilbert, congratulations on getting three points!"

Duane stood on the free throw line, looking weird while throwing the ball into the basket.

It's also a three-pointer in one round. Arenas has high risks and high returns, but Duen's game is much simpler.

Duan didn't believe it. Arenas could hit the ball one after another when shooting three-pointers from far away.

After returning to the backcourt, Duan asked Ben Gordon to go up and pester Arenas, while Duan helped defend Arenas at the three-point line.

Facing Ben Gordon's defense, Arenas asked for a pick-and-roll, and then continued to shoot a long three-pointer before Duan could save it.

Sure enough, self-confidence is one thing, and ability is another. Arenas missed a three-pointer from a long distance.

Super long three-pointers cannot become a conventional weapon because there is usually no way to maintain continuity and no way to guarantee a hit rate.

Arenas and Tracy McGrady exchanged super long three-pointers. That was because in the All-Star Game, both sides were undefended. Even so, they only made two goals each, and they couldn't make any more.

In the regular season and playoffs, ultra-long three-pointers are usually only used to shoot winning shots!
This time, Arenas failed to continue his touch, which means he messed up.

The Bulls only need to use Ben Gordon to restrict Arenas from outside the three-point line. If Duan blocks the three-point line, Arenas will not be able to break through and can only shoot three-pointers randomly.

Arenas tried to break through the basket, but the Bulls not only had Duane, but also Tyson Chandler.

After trying it again, Arenas could only use his best shot to try to solve everything.

29 to 17, the Bulls also relied on the Wizards' offensive bias and lack of independent offensive ability inside to achieve suppression of the Wizards.

However, the Wizards still have three guns on the outside.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Wizards relied on the Bulls' lack of defensive resources to recover a little bit of the score.

Fortunately, it's not a big deal for the Bulls. Andres Nocioni, Diaw and others, under the leadership of Duan, played well on the offensive end.

When Luol Deng, Josh Smith, and Tyson Chandler returned to the court, the Bulls' defensive intensity increased and the Wizards' offense once again stagnated.

57 to 43. Although the Wizards played well in the second quarter, the point difference was still widened by the Bulls.

By the time the third quarter was over, although the Bulls failed to clock in for three quarters, they were already confident of winning.

Duane noticed the voices of the fans who came to support him and watch him play, and he went all out early in the fourth quarter.

Originally, Arenas wanted to continue to struggle in the fourth quarter, but when he saw that Duan still had the energy to fly into the sky and perform dunks in the fourth quarter, his whole body went numb.

The fourth quarter has almost become garbage time. How dare you fight so hard?
Fortunately, Du En still wanted to face it.

There were more than 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Duan had already scored a double-double with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists, so he took the initiative to take a foul and leave the game.

Arenas played 3 more minutes on the court and felt that he had no chance to recover the nearly 20-point difference, so he reluctantly left the game early and admitted defeat.

107 to 93, against the fourth-place Wizards in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls won quite easily!
Winning two of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference in succession also proved that the Bulls indeed have the strength to enter the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

The current record is temporarily behind because in the first month of the regular season, the schedule is indeed not very friendly to the Bulls.

As of now, after several games against the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls are showing signs of becoming the Eastern Conference's overlord.

Except for the Pacers and Pistons, two teams with strong lineups, complete equipment, and somewhat restrained tactical styles, the Bulls cannot beat them for the time being.

Isn't it easy to take advantage of other pseudo-powerful teams in the Eastern Conference?
As for the Western Conference championship teams, the Bulls can't touch them, and most teams with good records in the Eastern Conference can't beat them either.

As long as the Bulls can play a competitive advantage in the Eastern Conference, they can easily reach the playoffs!

All I can say is, this is called the Eastern Dividend!
