Chapter 236 Three fouls in a single quarter, things turn around!
The Bulls played very tough right from the start, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that they share the same hatred, which instantly boosts morale and makes the Bulls players particularly motivated, and they can perform very well and score twelve points.

The disadvantage is that the referees also have the same hatred towards the Bulls players and are even more targeted.

Perhaps the original limitation on the Bulls was that the offense was not protected as it should be. The Mavericks could use a tougher defense to prevent the Bulls from scoring in order to win tonight's game.

However, after irritating the referee, the Bulls players not only broke through with the ball and physically collided with the Mavericks players, but there was a high possibility that they would be sentenced to an offensive foul.

When defending a Mavericks player, it is also easy to get fouled by the opponent's body hair.

One was beaten to death, and the other was not even touched by a hair on the body. The beating of the bull was naturally very frustrating and difficult.

The referee also hopes to break the mentality of the Bulls players so that they can complete tonight's task more easily.

As long as most of the Bulls players' mentality exploded in the first half, the point difference was widened by the Mavericks.

Then in the second half, the three referees on the scene can use every opportunity to compensate the Bulls with some balanced whistles, so that normally, the whistles on both sides will not be too outrageous.

Previous games were controlled this way, but the Bulls, under the leadership of Duan, played tough.

Subdued?impossible!
Du En reached for the ball directly after half-time!
Since you will be beaten to death if you rush inside, then there is no problem in pulling up a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, right?
A foul was called on a screen?The ball moves again?
Send a group of shooters, Du En dribbles the ball across the half court, passes the ball when he is flanked, and makes strong shots when he is not flanked. Is this all right?
Despite all kinds of difficulties from the referees, the Bulls relied on Duan to take the lead in shooting three-pointers, running and gunning, passing and cutting, and held on to the score, even vaguely gaining the upper hand.

In order to combat the Bulls' arrogance, the on-site referee gave Duan two fouls early.

If it were any other team, the star player would have committed two fouls in half a quarter, and they would have called a timeout to protect them.

But on the Bulls side, Dunn actually spoke louder than Scott Skiles, the team's head coach, regarding adjustments to playing time and personnel.

Scott Skiles has had conflicts with Duane's ideas before, and wanted to let Dunn take a rest.

Du En firmly stated that there was no need to rest, and then the current tacit understanding was formed.

As long as Duane doesn't take the initiative to leave the game, Scott Skiles will learn from the Zen Master and pretend to be the head coach on the sidelines, but in fact he will be like a front-row spectator, watching Duen play from the sidelines.

The on-site referee, not knowing what was going on on the Bulls' side, thought that threatening Duen with a foul was not enough, so before the first quarter was over, Duen received a third foul due to the body hair whistle.

The problem was that Duen refused to get off the field and kept showing his hands to the cameras and referees on the sidelines. He even showed his hands to the officials on the technical table when passing by.

When a situation like Du En occurs where he just refuses to leave the field and embarrasses the on-field referee, he directly causes internal strife among the on-field referee.

Some referees wanted to give Duen a show of strength and gave Duen his fourth foul before the first quarter was over.

However, the referee, who knew the general situation, said that he would first apply for video replay from the technical desk, and then took advantage of the opportunity to watch the replay and pulled the referee who had the idea out to chat for a few words.

"Dunn has never had six fouls before leaving the game! He has never had four fouls in a single quarter!
If you don't want to get into trouble, stop the crazy thoughts in your mind immediately.

Duane did nothing wrong. He just wanted to play fair. Is there anything wrong with that? "

As the referee of this game, he was criticized before the game started and knew what to do and what not to do.

If you are not sensible, you will not be able to serve as the referee of the finals.

Therefore, he knows that Dunn is the prince of Nike and the next Jordan determined by Nike.At the same time, I also know that Stern is very optimistic about Duen and hopes to train Duen to become a benchmark for international men's basketball players to play in the NBA.

I have to say that there are too many labels on Du En, and the attention on Du En is too great.

Now it's the finals again. If you don't want to go to jail in a few months after this trip, you must ensure the interests behind Du En.

Therefore, Du En will no longer suffer unfair treatment, and some balance whistles will even be given to Du En in advance to stabilize Du En's mood.

After clarifying what to do next and unifying the penalty standards of the other two referees, Duen's defense was naturally successful this time and there was no foul.

Considering the issue of ball rights, the referee gave the ball a scrimmage.

As a result, Duan quickly helped the Bulls get the ball back again, helping Andres Nocioni hit a three-pointer.

It was also because the Bulls were playing run-and-gun, passing and cutting, and the Mavericks' constant flanking of Duan was not very effective, and the Mavericks had to readjust their defensive strategy.

However, as soon as the defense against Du En relaxed, Du En was able to put the ball into the basket efficiently and beat the Mavericks to death with his shooting.

After the first quarter, the score came to 30-28.

Even though the Mavericks had the advantage on the buzzer and the Bulls wasted some ball rights due to some offensive fouls and off-ball screen fouls, the Bulls still took a 2-point lead under the leadership of Duan.

It is worth mentioning that the Bulls' running and gunning also consumed a lot of energy from the Mavericks' main players.

And because the Mavericks players really wanted to win tonight, they worked harder on the defensive end and intensified their confrontation on the offensive end, so the consumption in the first quarter was much greater than the previous two games.

The Mavericks players obviously didn't expect that starting from the second quarter, they were already a little unable to play.

The offensive level of the substitute lineup is relatively poor to begin with. Due to physical problems and a lot of confrontations, the starting players' touch has continued to decline, and their offensive status is not that good.

If it weren't for a large number of free throws to stay alive, the point difference would have been widened by the Bulls.

Of course, the Mavericks have such an advantage on the defensive end. When the Bulls' shooters encounter a lot of physical contact, their touch will inevitably decline.

However, the Bulls' offense is more than just outside shooting. Transition offense and passing and cutting also account for a large proportion.

In addition, Duan noticed that the referee did not continue to black-whistle him in the second quarter, and the accumulation of personal fouls suddenly stopped and stopped changing, and there were even some opportunities for additional penalties.

So he began to use the superstar whistle to continuously break through with the ball.

Duen has the height of the inside, the weight of a heavy forward, can break through with the ball from the outside, and his ball control level is at a super giant level. So it is basically impossible for the Mavericks to prevent Duen's breakthrough.

Duen relies on his body alone to fight hard, and getting to the basket is as easy as crossing the street, not to mention Duen's combination of speed and skills, which is incredibly fast.

It was also because of his strong enough ability and his "timely" free throws that Duan scored 21 points in the second quarter and continued to help the Bulls maintain their lead.

However, the referee on the scene was sweating profusely.

"This job is not easy to do..."
