Chapter 231 Let go, 24 points in a single quarter in the finals!
Duan's sudden outburst startled the bull.

Scott Skiles was about to use the timeout to talk to the Bulls players. After seeing Duan getting angry, he became timid and didn't dare to say a word.

After Du En finished venting his emotions, the atmosphere on the Bulls side was still tense.

Obviously, no one dared to talk back to Du En at this time.

Until Du En took the initiative and said: "Wake up, everyone, we are playing in the finals! Who is willing to win that damn championship with me?"

Baron Davis and others then said one after another: "I do."

"Boss, we will defend well."

"I was too relaxed before, but I won't be anymore. I will stay focused!"

Duan's scolding woke up the other four Bulls starting players, and also reminded other substitute players who had not yet received playing time in the finals.

For this round of the finals, the Bulls can only succeed, not fail.

Anyone who doesn't want to work hard and play well doesn't have to play on the court and just sit down off the court.

Duan had already spoken harshly, and the other Bulls players naturally regained their energy and started playing seriously.

The timeout is over and the game resumes.

The Bulls players have a new mental outlook, but they have strengthened their defense, but their offensive performance is somewhat timid.

Du En also realized that he might have scolded a little too loudly just now, which scared his teammates.

So when encountering this situation, Du En had no other choice but to just get the ball and attack.

However, after Duan got the ball at the top of the arc, the Mavericks directly double-teamed him from the outside. Obviously, the Mavericks had also studied the Bulls' previous rounds of playoff videos and would not easily give Duan a chance to take action.

However, Duen knew that there was a tiger in the mountain and went for it. He called two screens in a row. After getting rid of Josh Howard, he directly made a three-pointer.

It's not that Du En doesn't have strong shooting ability. He didn't let go before, simply because he wanted to drive his teammates, and at the same time, he also saved his own energy and waited until the critical moment to take action.

But tonight, the Bulls were behind from the beginning.

The other teammates were scolded by Du En again, and they still haven't recovered from their anger.

At this moment, Du En knew very well that if he could not let go and recover the score, tonight's game might suffer.

brush--

Although it was a strong shot, Duan had it as soon as he took the shot.

It can only be said that the Mavericks have some problems with their outside height and defense. As long as they use the screen to get rid of Josh Howard, the remaining Terry and Adrian Griffin will not be able to interfere with Duan's shooting.

In addition, the Mavericks' interior defense is relatively average. Although Nowitzki's talent is very good and his long hands and feet are very suitable for assisting defense, he does not have the ability to come out from the inside to sweep away like Garnett.

The rest of Dampier was also squatting in the paint, constantly wrestling with Tyson Chandler, unable to come out.

In this case, Duan's outside shot after taking advantage of the screen has a very small chance of being interfered with.

As long as the feel is not too bad, you can swing it.

"It's really rare for Duen to be on full fire in the first quarter!"

"This is what the best player in the league should do!"

"No one in the Dallas Mavericks can limit Duane, because Duane is the best player in the league!"

"Dunn is Michael on the three-point line!"

Since the first three-pointer was made, Duan began to perform on the court, constantly making three-pointers from the outside, defeating the Mavericks.

Even Nowitzki is taking the ball in the low post and constantly attacking, but two-pointers are one less than three-pointers.

After Duan made 5 of 4 three-pointers, junior general Avery Johnson had to call a timeout, hoping to cool down Duan's fiery touch.

"Devin, next we need you to follow Duan, keep pestering him, and wearing him down! Jerry, the team needs your defense and your offense.

Josh, you must always be prepared to help defend Dune.

Everyone, we must limit Duane's scoring! "

Young general Avery Johnson is leading the team in the finals for the first time, so he naturally wants to achieve results and bring a championship to the Mavericks.

In order to defeat the Bulls, the best way is to limit Duan's scoring and undermine the Bulls' morale.

For this reason, young general Avery Johnson saw that the starting lineup could not guard Duan, and he had no clue, so he directly replaced Devin Harris, the fastest in the league, in an effort to squeeze through the screen and be able to do it all the time. Consume Duen and prevent Duen from taking action easily.

In addition, Stackhouse, the first-generation Jordan successor, was also sent to the court.

Although Stackhouse has begun to decline from his peak, his physical fitness is still good.

The possibility of guarding Duen is extremely slim, but his attitude towards the game cannot be overemphasized. He is very active on both offense and defense.

After sending Harris and Stackhouse, in order to make up for the lack of firepower after Terry's exit, the Mavericks must release Josh Howard.

Therefore, junior general Avery Johnson sent Josh Howard to assist the defense instead of leading the defense against Doon.

Judging from previous performance, Josh Howard is not good at squeezing screens, and the effect of defending Duan is not ideal.

Now letting Josh Howard help defend, it may be able to interfere with Duan's shooting.

Junior general Avery Johnson's arrangement for Du En was quite targeted. However, after the timeout, Du En was still holding the ball at a high position.

Facts have proved that the Mavericks can't guard Duan just by relying on a group of small men on the outside.

Duan didn't combine sudden shots and passes like before. He only relied on strong three-pointers, and continued to ignore the defense and put the basketball into the basket one after another.

Before the first quarter was over, Duan had already scored 6 three-pointers and scored 18 points.

If this continues, it is not impossible that tonight Duan will once again break the record for three-pointers in a single playoff game that was just set by himself not long ago.

After the Mavericks confirmed that the small guard was indeed unable to limit Duen's shooting, they could only replace more strikers and even inside players to limit Duen's shooting.

Du En is not a fool. He directly changes his style of play. After covering the screen, he directly breaks through and kills inside.

Harris is worthy of being the Pluto who can set a Guinness record. While Duan holds the ball and kills the inside, he can also use his explosive power to keep up.

However, Du En has rich experience in breakthroughs, and breakthroughs do not rely solely on speed and explosive power, but also bring a lot of skills.

Harris was half-stuck by Duen, unable to get past Duen, intercept Duen at the basket, or cut the ball from behind Duen to disrupt Duen's dribbling.

When Duan squeezed Harris to the basket, Nowitzki wanted to help defend, but because the position in front of him was occupied by Harris, he was unable to help.

Dampier not only had to pay attention to Duan, but also to Tyson Chandler. Being distracted, he could only sit back and watch Duan hit the board and score the ball.

Facing Duan who went all out in the first quarter, the Mavericks had no choice at all.

Before Duan threw the towel, the Mavericks still had a 6-point lead, but by the end of the first quarter, the score was 29-33, and the Bulls were leading by 4 points.

It is worth mentioning that in the first quarter, Duan made 11 of 8 shots, 8 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 24 points!
One point away from tying the Smiling Assassin's finals single-quarter scoring record of 25 points set by the Smiling Assassins.

"This guy Duan! What a pity, we could have continued to create a second Lakers dynasty!"

O'Neill saw Du En playing so well and deliberately said loudly in the box.

Snapped--

When O'Neill finished speaking, he heard a heavy slamming of the door.

"Hahahahaha, at such a young age, you have to urinate frequently and urgently?" O'Neal laughed like a [-]-pound fat man.
