Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Normally, when the series reaches 3-0, it is basically over.

After the Bulls won G3, the Bulls players had already started talking about winning the Eastern Conference Championship trophy again and studying their opponents in the finals.

Unexpectedly, after the start of G4, the on-site referees not only did not correct their mistakes, but intensified.

It was also because the Bulls didn't expect this in advance that they played too relaxedly at the beginning of the game and the Cavaliers had the upper hand.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the field was fixed at 28-22, and the Cavaliers established a 6-point lead in a single quarter.

However, Duen and other Bulls players quickly adjusted their status. Of course, mainly relying on Duen's personal offense, they quickly smoothed the point difference and even went ahead.

Normally, if they continue to play like this, the Bulls can continue to win the game 5 on 8 by relying on hard power.

However, everything is wishful thinking on the part of the Bulls players.

The league does not allow a team as awesome as the Bulls to sweep the Cavaliers 4-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Duan played well, didn't he? What about leaving the field with six fouls?

The referee tonight showed unprecedented determination!

Witnessed by 20,000 Chicago fans at the United Center, Dunn received two fouls in just over three minutes of the fourth quarter. In the end, the total number of personal fouls reached six, and he had no choice but to leave the game early.

Du En was originally very high-spirited and wanted to make some moves or scold the referee, leading the fans at the scene to mock and curse the referee.

However, Cassel, who was sitting on the bench, immediately stepped forward and hugged Duan when he saw that the situation was not going well.

He warned: "Duen, don't be impulsive. We have already gained a 3-0 advantage. They can't blatantly hack us in four consecutive games.

And the game is not over yet, please believe us, we can win this series with our strength.

You are already very tired. Go back to the locker room first. Maybe you can prepare for tonight's post-game interview in advance. "

As a seasoned player, Cassel couldn't be more clear that the referees couldn't just sit back and watch the Bulls win tonight.

Just looking at Du En, you can understand that Du En has not encountered six fouls and left the game, but those were all in away games.

Sometimes I'm unlucky. I get fouled while assisting on defense, I get blocked on rebounds, and then I accumulate four or five points early on. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, I get fouled by the opposing star again, and I end up accumulating six fouls in the away game. This is also normal.

But in the United Center, Duane has never experienced anything like tonight.

On the one hand, it is the home whistle, and some controversial penalties will not be blown on Duan.

On the other hand, the Bulls usually have an advantage when playing at home. Duan doesn't have to play too hard, so he doesn't have to overly assist in defense and get stuck in positions to grab rebounds.

In this situation tonight, the referee did everything he could to help the Cavaliers turn defeat into victory.

Duan was punished for two consecutive fouls in advance. Whoever Bulls player plays well may be treated the same way by Duan.

Under this circumstance, if the Bulls still want to win tonight, they can only expect the Cavaliers to go undercover and not even make free throws.

Sure enough, not long after Duan returned to the locker room, the Bulls continued to lose points.

The Bulls were fouled as soon as they got to the basket. They couldn't score any points and had no free throws. They had to rely on outside shots to fight.

The Cavaliers' offensive status isn't much better either, but when it comes to killing the basket and making free throws, it's still like two plus one.

This situation lasted for almost five minutes, and the Cavaliers quickly established a 10-point advantage.

It wasn't until the last three or four minutes that the referee pretended to use the balance whistle and kept letting Bulls players stand on the free throw line.

It can only be said that those who can perform the work of refereeing the Eastern Conference Finals do have two skills and extremely strong court control abilities.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Bulls by a slim margin of two points, 104 to 102.

The number of free throws in the game was only 33 to 28.

Because the Cavaliers had more two-plus-one opportunities, and the Bulls made up a lot of free throws in the last few minutes, overall, the difference in the number of free throws between the two teams is not outrageous.

Fans who just look at the data will naturally not think this game is so unfair.

But those who really watch the game will understand how dark this game is. The Bulls were arranged by the referee to have no resistance.

Many Chicago fans who watched the game couldn't restrain their emotions that night and continued to reprimand and insult the referee through various media. There was even a grumpy old man who came to the hotel near the referee's station with a gun. Unfortunately, the hotel security did a good job. A few shots were fired outside the hotel.

As for the outside media, they are actually just watching the excitement. As early as the post-game interview, some reporters asked Duan and other Bulls players relevant questions.

By the time G4 ended and G5 started, the United States was full of discussions about the black whistle in G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Chicago media, in particular, made the matter a big deal and ate up the human blood buns as the victim.

Why do teams from big cities always take advantage of penalties? That's because league officials also need to pay attention to image and public opinion.

Once an unfavorable penalty happens to a team in a big city, the media behind it will naturally do their best to seek justice for their team. They will not hesitate to fan the flames and make the black whistle scandal known to everyone, and it will get out of hand.

The Chicago media is like this now. They continue to focus on the three referees who performed the Eastern Conference Finals G4, and even made the league officials unable to step down, but they still had to step in to protect their lives.

However, due to the pressure of public opinion, in G5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls received a compensation whistle from the beginning of the game.

It's quite disgusting to say that the Bulls players feel disgusted. The Bulls have already swept the Cavaliers with their strength.

However, in tonight's game that ended the Eastern Conference Finals, the referees made it seem like the Bulls relied on the referees' help to win and advance.

It has to be said that after the black whistle incident, many people in the United States who are not basketball fans also turned on their TVs and subscribed to the Eastern Conference Finals G5 game to watch it.

After watching tonight's game, it's easy to think that the Chicago media and Bulls fans are shouting to catch the thief, or they are shouting to suffer a loss without taking advantage.

In this way, most of the alliance was cleared up in an instant, and the Bulls turned into a giant baby who made unreasonable noises. After crying, the alliance gave him a candy to eat, so he calmed down.

Originally, the Bulls were the king of the league and had won three consecutive championships.

After successfully defeating the Cavaliers tonight and advancing to the finals again, it will undoubtedly attract more hatred from other teams.

Before the finals even started, many media behind the teams had already begun to question whether the Bulls' previous three consecutive championships were the result of the league's partisanship and intentional star-making.

Few NBA fans will question Jordan because Jordan is an American.

But Duan is Chinese, and his achievement of winning three consecutive championships in the NBA can easily be questioned.

Especially after Duane led the men's basketball team to an Olympic gold medal last year, the doubts became even louder.

Of course, if the tree is big and attracts the wind, and Du En is too dazzling, it will also arouse the envy, jealousy and hatred of others.

Anyway, a group of people watched Doon fall.

However, Du En's personal strength is too strong, which can be seen from the fact that he led the team to defeat the Dream Team and won the gold medal in the Olympic Games.

Even if there is a home whistle, how could anyone else lead a group of CBA players to defeat the NBA? Not to mention the Dream Team formed by various big-name players!

It can be said that Duan has made history. Judging from the international schedule, his personal strength is undisputed.

However, Duan's skin color does not meet the aesthetic standards of local NBA fans.

As the saying goes, when talking about the glory of the British Empire, even the hungry beggars on the streets of London will be filled with pride.  Chicago fans will love Wujiwu and stars like Dunn who bring them glory.

But fans in other places who have not benefited from Doun in the slightest are unhappy with their lives because of Doon.

If they want to stand proudly, they must first remove Du En from his position as the ruler of the alliance.

In order to achieve this goal, a series of actions will naturally be carried out, including slander and slander, and rumors...

Since Dune didn't hold on to his ambitions, he could only start from the star whistle aspect to weaken Dune's three consecutive championships and the gold content of the league's ruler.

Conspiracy theories are popular in any country.

And Dunn has indeed been helped by Stern along the way, and there has always been a star whistle.

In other words, Du En’s butt is not clean, and if the yellow mud falls into his crotch, it is either feces or feces!

Some fans or reporters from certain media watched the videos of Doen's past games overnight and edited out many scenes with controversial penalties.

Some were facts, and some were processed. In short, Duane's public opinion plummeted, and the Chicago media was temporarily at a disadvantage because it was besieged by other local media.

However, at this time, the Lakers helped the Bulls share some of the pressure of public opinion.

The Lakers successfully fought their way out of the Western Conference and advanced to the Finals again, but their victory was not very glorious. They only advanced 4-2 because the Mavericks injured a core player.

In the previous Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers also injured the Rockets' leading player.

It's also a team from a big city, it's also favored by the league, its star player has a star whistle, and it's also Duane's old club. I can only say that it's not too unfair for the Lakers to be criticized.

Also because the Lakers jumped out to block the attack, the people who were chasing the Bulls and Duan began to disappear.

Of course, this is also because of Nike's efforts.

There were too many people before, and the cost of just hiring trolls to disrupt the situation and handle the media was too high.

Now that the limelight has passed, Doon's public opinion has naturally begun to change from headwinds to tailwinds.

"Can the Chicago Bulls win another championship and win four consecutive games?"

"If the Los Angeles Lakers lose to the Chicago Bulls again, they will usher in three consecutive championships for the second time in team history!"

"It is undeniable that the Chicago Bulls are still the strongest team in the league!"

"Can the Los Angeles Lakers challenge the dominance of the Chicago Bulls?"

The finals are about to start, and media from all sides are talking a lot before the game.

The situation of the Lakers is quite embarrassing now. They have reached the Finals for three consecutive years, but for three consecutive years they have encountered bulls who have overwhelmed them.

Once upon a time, the Lakers also achieved three consecutive championships in the three years from 68 to 70.

Before that, there was another unlucky guy, the New York Knicks, who had won three consecutive championships as early as the 50s, but there weren't many teams at the time.

In some respects, the achievement of three consecutive championships is second only to three consecutive championships. After all, in the competition among 15 teams in the East and West, being able to win the division championship for three consecutive years is also proof of strength and stability.

However, no star wants to bear the honor of three consecutive championships.

Now the Chicago Bulls' opponents in the Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers, have encountered the problem of aging core players and declining competitiveness.

If the Lakers were really that strong, they should have conquered the Western Conference long ago.

The fact is that in the playoffs, O'Neal, Gasol and others did not perform as well as in the regular season. In addition to playing with the Spurs, Kobe would also be affected to some extent, which led to this year's Western Conference championship. It's a bit laborious.

There is no doubt that the Lakers have reached a critical moment of success or failure.

On June 6, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the finals G4 started here.

After the game started, Duan's condition came relatively early. On the one hand, he was familiar with the Staples Center because he was returning to his hometown.

On the other hand, it is also because of his personal strength that the Lakers cannot defend him.

Kobe is not tall enough and his weight is not good enough. Whether it is interfering with Duen's shooting from the outside or resisting Duen's back shot in the low post, Kobe will suffer more when defending Duen alone.

The Lakers have been strengthening their wings for several years, but it is really because the contracts of other stars are too big and they have no money to recruit them, so they just cultivated Ariza.

Since Kobe can't restrain Duan, don't expect Ariza to be able to do it.

However, the overall performance of the Lakers tonight was pretty good, and with the home whistle, the Bulls only had a slight advantage in the first three quarters.

74 to 71, the Bulls only had a 3-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

To be honest, the Bulls relied entirely on Duen's excellent scoring efficiency. After the first three quarters, Duen took 17 shots and scored 29 points.

There is no doubt that even on the stage of the finals, Duen can perform 30+ or ​​40+.

However, away games are indeed more stressful.

The referee didn't seem to want the Bulls to win. Although he wouldn't send Duane out directly, in the fourth quarter, Kobe could use a lot of physical contact to kill Duen. Fortunately, the referee is also allowed.

However, Duan was not allowed to reach out and hook Kobe or pull Kobe's clothes.

It was precisely because of the double-standard penalty that the Lakers finally seized the opportunity to turn defeat into victory in the fourth quarter. With Kobe's accurate mid-range shot, they maintained their home court advantage in G1 of the Finals.

94 to 96, the Bulls unfortunately lost G2 by 1 points.

Of course, there is still hope for the Bulls to win this game. Duan was still short of breath in the fourth quarter, making only 8 of 3 shots and scoring only 2 points with 8 free throws.

Compared with other teammates' scores in the fourth quarter, Duen did enough.

However, if one or two more goals were scored, it might have been a completely different ending.

“I’m happy to be back playing here.

This was a wonderful game. Kobe and I are both MVP-level players.

Although I regretted not being able to win the game, I still had a lot of fun playing it.

My teammates performed very well and I hope we can win the next game. I think we are more competitive. "

Although he was not satisfied with the penalty, Duan still gave the Lakers some dignity.

In general, the Lakers did play well, and the referees' interference in the game was not as severe as it was in the previous rounds.

It has to be said that after the disgusting experience before, Du En started to enjoy it.

"No one can beat us in the series, we are unstoppable!"

Du En was like an injured beast, and his blood was aroused! (End of chapter)
