Chapter 234 Just follow along and that’s it!More flowers!
"You are all participants in G1 of the finals. You should all know what the strength of our opponents is.

Therefore, in the next G2, don't feel any pressure, just follow Du En and play well.

Do a good job of defense first. The Dallas Mavericks players have no systematic offense and like to play in isolation.

As long as we can implement good man-to-man defensive tactics, the opponent's score will not be too high.

On the offensive end, we take action when we have the opportunity. I really feel that taking action is troublesome. We also have Du En, who can solve the scoring problem at any time. "

June 6, Chicago United Center, home team locker room.

The 1-point victory in G34 of the finals left Scott Skiles completely stress-free.

Through the last game, Scott Skiles also basically saw clearly the shortcomings of the Mavericks' offense that only relies on singles to solve problems.

On the other hand, the Bulls not only have Duen, the team leader, on the offensive end, but they can also use Duen's personal offensive threat to create better and more scoring opportunities for other players.

It is also because the Bulls, under the leadership of Dunn, have basically crushed the Mavericks in terms of overall strength, allowing Scott Skiles, the team's head coach, to basically sit back and relax.

Therefore, Scott Skiles behaved quite calmly and confidently in the upcoming G2 game.

Before G2 even started, Scott Skiles had already shown the attitude of letting others defend me and watching Duen perform and that would be it.

In this regard, Du En felt that it was slightly inappropriate.

To be able to reach the finals, his teammates are not CBA, but they can really do a lot of things and bring him a lot of help.

However, other members of the Bulls have already accepted their respective identities and positions.

“Scott is right, but I would like to add a few points.

First, although we rely on Du En's personal strength to win the game, we must also try our best to help Du En share some of the scoring pressure.

There are still several games in the finals. We cannot keep holding Du En back and rely on Du En alone to win the game.

Second, whether you are attacking or defending, you need to pay attention to the opponent's position and movements.

We need to stay healthy and win that championship that belongs to us.

Third, defense wins championships. We must strengthen defense as much as possible and reduce mistakes as much as possible.

As long as we do our jobs well, we can win games again and again.

Guys, we should be the real championship! "

Baron Davis said this as the second in charge of the team.

To a certain extent, Baron Davis also admitted that the Bulls are led by Duan's single core.

As the second in charge of the team, he did not bring much help to the Bulls and Dune, at least in G1 of the finals.

Therefore, Baron Davis wants to prove himself in the upcoming G2, and at the same time, he also expresses his intention to Du En in advance, saying that he will play well next, fulfill the obligations of the team's second boss, and shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

"Yes, we should do what we are good at and assist Du En to win the game."

"My grandma can win the championship even if she plays with Duan, but I want to prove that I am a real NBA player!"

"Boss, don't worry, we won't make you angry tonight."

The Bulls players expressed their opinions one after another and corrected their attitude, so Duan said nothing more about it.

I just stood with everyone, cheered, and then walked to the stadium through the tunnel together.

Perhaps it was the confidence brought by the victory in G1. The Bulls players entered the state early in the first quarter tonight, and every one of them worked hard.

The fly in the ointment is that Baron Davis, who said before the game that he would help Duane share the offensive pressure, hit two irons in a row as soon as he came up. Fortunately, the Bulls' defense was strong enough and the Mavericks did not take the opportunity to widen the point difference.

Scott Skiles also reacted quickly. Baron Davis was replaced after playing less than 2 minutes to prevent the Bulls from being dragged down by him.

With the addition of Ben Gordon as a shooting point, the Bulls quickly established their lead with three-pointers.

"The Chicago Bulls have entered a familiar rhythm of the game, which is similar to the previous game. Once the outside shots are opened, the Dallas Mavericks cannot defend themselves."

"Yes, for Dallas Mavericks fans, the only good news now is that Duane hasn't scored much yet. Of course, this is also the bad news."

Du En scored 40+ points in the last finals. The live commentators and fans tonight will naturally pay more attention to Du En's scoring.

However, the Mavericks also lost the game because they failed to defend Duan well in the last game, and young general Avery Johnson is a head coach who started on defense, and he pays special attention to defense.

Therefore, Duan suffered more serious defensive attacks tonight than in the last game.

Even though Duen did not take the initiative to ask for the ball in singles, he was still being marked without the ball. Once the Bulls stopped holding the ball in the high post and observed Duen's position, Duen was bound to be flanked.

It's already the finals, but there is still this level of defense. It is naturally more difficult for Duan to get the ball than in the last game.

Fortunately, other Bulls players took a very positive attitude from the beginning of the game.

This year, Ben Gordon is playing step by step, playing better and better, and there are faint signs of evolution in the playoffs.

On the Bulls side, even if the second-leading player Baron Davis was not in good form when he came up, there was Ben Gordon on the bench, and he was in great form and kept scoring points.

When Luol Deng, Josh Smith, and Tyson Chandler all scored, the Bulls relied on tacit team basketball to slowly widen the point difference, and the game time in the first quarter was almost coming to an end. .

"Josh Howard came off the bench and Duane started doing things again."

“I have to say that Duan played very smart.

When your teammates are in good shape, let them play first. When your opponent's defense becomes weaker, come out and score efficiently to expand your advantage.

The Dallas Mavericks' main defense player on Duane does not have Duane's outstanding physical talent and cannot keep up with Duane's playing time.

This will inevitably lead to the current situation. Duen can continue to score in the areas where he is good at the stage when he is full of energy. "

"Yes. Defending Duane requires a group of physically gifted forwards, and the Dallas Mavericks tried to do that.

However, Duan's teammates stood up. Before Duan scored much tonight, the Dallas Mavericks were already behind.

Now the Dallas Mavericks not only have to solve the problem on the defensive end, but also figure out who can attack?Who can score?This is also important. "

Duane, who played the entire first quarter, found an opportunity to travel off-peak at the end of the first quarter and once again showed the scoring ability that a star should have.

Then there was a situation where the Mavericks' defensive end was blown away by Duan at a single point.

Subsequently, the point difference between the two teams widened further and expanded to double digits after the first quarter.

22 to 33, an 11-point difference in a single quarter is enough to illustrate the gap between the Mavericks and the Bulls.

The game soon reached the second quarter. Nowitzki, who did not want to lose the game easily, immediately came on the court at the beginning of the second quarter and kept asking for the ball in the low post.Perhaps because he didn't get enough rest, Nowitzki didn't feel good at first, making only 3 of 1 shots.

However, Nowitzki quickly adjusted. If he couldn't shoot well, he would kill the basket. If he couldn't finish at the basket, he would foul.

At this stage, Nowitzki has not refined his fadeaway jumper and reduced it to the ultimate move of golden rooster independence, but the other moves in his arsenal are complete and there are no shortcomings in offense.

Relying on Nowitzki's [-] martial arts skills, the situation on the court was once stabilized by Nowitzki.

But more than 4 minutes into the second quarter, Duane returned to the court, and the balance of victory tipped towards the Bulls again.

Duen, who returned to play, held the ball in a high position and used the screen to continuously rush inside.

The Mavericks' interior defense is not particularly strong to begin with. Nowitzki needs to solve offensive problems and consumes a lot of energy in ball-handling offense. Correspondingly, he will deliberately reduce the work on the defensive end.

After Duen broke into the paint, he was not in a hurry to attack on his own. He just mobilized the enthusiasm of Tyson Chandler and Josh Smith who were playing together and kept making cakes for them.

Also taking advantage of Nowitzki being attracted to defend by Dunn, Josh Smith kept slipping to the bottom of the basket to score, helping the Bulls widen the point difference again.

The Mavericks' morale, which they had finally built up thanks to Nowitzki's singles, was quickly shattered by Duan's sudden points.

It is worth mentioning that Baron Davis, who had been silent for a long time in the second half of the second quarter, also found his game rhythm and offensive status, scoring 7 points in a row to help the Bulls further expand their advantage.

As the finals progressed, the Bulls looked more and more like champions.

There are no close calls, no stalemate stages, and no decisive moments. There are just people constantly stepping up to score, and they rely on hard power to crush their opponents.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, were constantly being suppressed and struggling, with no sign of becoming a Western Conference champion.

But it's no wonder. The Bulls are a team with 73 wins in the regular season, and Dunn, the team leader, is still the MVP for two consecutive years. What can the Mavericks do?
When the Mavericks faced off against the Bulls, the only advantage was in terms of salary, which was only 3000 to [-] million more than the Bulls.

However, the Bulls have received too many rookie bonuses at this stage. If they wait another two years, the current lineup will cost at least three to forty million more.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the Bulls to beat the Mavericks in the finals.

It can only be said that after Duan led the Bulls out of the Eastern Conference, no matter who came to the Western Conference team.

Unless someone breaks out in succession and feels good enough to win one or two games, they will inevitably be ravaged by the Bulls.

Now it's just the Mavericks who are the unlucky ones!
Having said that, after the first half, the score reached 45-63, and the point difference had expanded to 18 points.

Having established such a big advantage in the first half, the Bulls were naturally full of momentum after the start of the third quarter, with everyone vying for the lead.

In order to limit the Bulls' success as much as possible, the Mavericks had to switch to a zone defense and no longer strictly double-team Duan.

Ever since, after seeing the new changes in the Mavericks' defensive tactics, Duan immediately picked up the ball in the high post and resumed attacking with the ball.

Josh Howard had to bite the bullet and lead Duan.

However, due to Duen's constant pick-and-roll, the defense was almost useless.

Duen is extremely simple, he uses the screen to escape and immediately shoots a three-pointer.

The rest of the Mavericks couldn't help defend, so Duan took an open three-pointer.

If the person coming to help defend is a short man, it's not like Du En can't force the shot. If it's a big man, Du En will pass the ball immediately.

If it were anyone else, such a fight would not have much impact on the Mavericks.

But it happened to be Duen, a simple and effective move that resulted in efficient scoring and a quick score.

"Duane's three-pointers are like rain!"

"Maybe the game is over!"

"Dirk should stand up and score like Duan! But unfortunately, he is too soft. He is a big man and should go inside, but he can't!"

“Duen hasn’t tried his best yet!
We should be able to see that Duen still has many weapons that he has not used, and Duen did not launch an attack in the low post.

However, the Dallas Mavericks can no longer reach it!
No one on the Dallas Mavericks can match up with Duane, no one can limit Duane's scoring, and no one can score like Duane.

This is the second consecutive regular season MVP!If Duen can continue to maintain this state, I think he has a chance to win three consecutive games! "

In the first half, Duan only scored 14 points due to few shots.

But in the third quarter, Duen relied on continuous three-pointers, scoring more than 10 points in a single quarter, and his personal score gradually moved towards 30 points.

The playoffs are the stage for superstars, but it is difficult for most superstars to score more than 30 points in a single game in the playoffs.

But Duan easily performed a crazy scoring performance on the stage of the finals.

Obviously the opponent mobilized the entire team's defensive resources to limit Duen's scoring, but Duen was able to score 20+ in a single quarter, 30+, and 40+ in a single game.

For Du En, such a performance seemed to be possible casually and was not the limit of his personal strength.

Seeing Duan put on a wave of personal scoring performances, junior general Avery Johnson had to refocus his defense on Duan.

Normally, other Bulls players have not touched the ball for a long time, and there will be problems with their feel and game state. It is unlikely that they will score immediately as soon as they get the ball.

However, at the end of the third quarter, Baron Davis stepped up and took over the game.

The Mavericks players and Mavericks fans at the scene were speechless. The Bulls were really scoring endlessly!
Duan was restricted, and second-in-command Byron Byrons could immediately regain his firepower!
Precisely because the Bulls' offense was in such good shape and every star player was reliable, the Bulls established a 27-point lead in the first three quarters, and the following fourth quarter became garbage time.

But it's the finals, and it's impossible for the Mavericks to give up an entire quarter without resisting.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Terry and Josh Howard led the team to play for a while. The Mavericks tried to let Terry shoot three-pointers to chase points, but the effect was average.

The Bulls relied on the second team led by Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni and Diaw to stabilize the situation.

It is also because the advantage has been maintained at more than 20 points, so there is no need for main players such as Du En to play again.

By the end of the game, 87 to 111, the Bulls once again defeated the Mavericks with a huge advantage of 24 points, winning their second consecutive victory in the finals.

Duan, who clocked in three quarters tonight and scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, has undoubtedly become the focus of the post-game interview.

Duan said: "I just performed at a normal level. Let's praise Byron who scored 23 points tonight! Without him, we can't win!"

In addition to Baron Davis, Duan also named Josh Smith, Ben Gordon and other teammates who performed better.

The other players felt very happy when they heard Du En commending them by name in front of the media.

"It's great to play with the boss!"
