Chapter 337 Fight for the championship and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!

Achieving 52 wins in the regular season is not that extraordinary. In a normal season, they would be a mid-tier team in the playoffs.

However, they only lost 14 games in the regular season.

This represents a historic team!

At least when all members are healthy, this team contains strength that most NBA teams will find difficult to defeat.

Now, the team that has achieved such results is the Chicago Bulls, which has a wealthy background and has the league's super giants.

That undoubtedly vividly describes what it means to be a "favorite".

"Dunn, what are your expectations for the next playoffs?"

"Dunn, is your goal this year going to be the championship?"

"The Chicago Bulls have once again become the best team in the NBA. Duan, will you regain your throne?"

"Dunn, are you confident in establishing a second dynasty of your own? Are you already doing this?"

"Dunn, the team you led has achieved the best record in the league! Do you think you will win the regular season MVP again?"

In the past two years, the Bulls have continued to make gains in the draft. The rookies have tried their best to show their talents and have become more and more dazzling on the court.

"We will be the championship this year! If we fail to win the championship this year, it must be because the damn team management did not find enough helpers for Du En!"

Obviously at the beginning of the season, the Bulls have not yet shouted the slogan of hitting the championship.

Basically, it was Duane's No. 31 jersey, and only a few thousand or two thousand people wore the jerseys of other Bulls players.

After the regular season, it can be clearly felt that some of the teams that competed for the championship last season have indeed declined.

After Duan announced his championship declaration in advance, fans across the United States were in an uproar, and Chicago was in an uproar.

Now that Du En can make this public, he is obviously fully prepared.

It's just that the time was not ripe before, so Du En and others could only prepare all this intensively in private.

I knew it was a tough road, but luckily I found like-minded teammates.

What I didn't expect was that it would be this season.

Basketball doesn't lie. We set goals from the summer and work hard together.

"Under the leadership of my father, I have witnessed the greatness of Michael. Now I will also take my son to witness the greatness of Du En!"

However, now, Du En has spoken in person to tell everyone that everything is ready.

Relying on scientific rotation adjustments, the Bulls are the team with the most complete strength this season!

Chicago fans have been waiting for Duane to say such a slogan for two years.

There are also Paul and Serge who are flying in the sky to play ball. They will definitely be able to help Du En! "

Some fans have been in a tight situation recently and really have no money to buy new jerseys. In order to avoid not fitting in and being looked down upon by other fans who come to watch the game together, one can only enter the United Center wearing antiques that have been passed down for several years or more than ten years.

I just didn't expect that Du En's ability to train rookies is so strong, and Du En's team leadership ability is so good.

"Fake, this guy Du En has worked so hard to hide it from us! I have to buy another Du En jersey to vent my anger!"

If you look carefully, you can even find Jordan and Pippen.

Duan leads a group of rookies and has made plans to compete for the championship as early as the summer.

Until now, we have proven with actual actions that we are the best and strongest team in the regular season!

Normally, the playoffs haven't started yet, so it seems a bit too early to talk about aiming for the championship.

"Michael made the Chicago Bulls one of the greatest teams in the NBA, and I want to make the Chicago Bulls great again!"

Even after finishing the regular season with the league's best record, Chicago fans thought it was just the same as the previous two years.

It was also because they trusted Du En's ability that they were willing to wait for the long reconstruction period with Du En.

There were 22,000 fans at the Chicago United Center, all wearing Bulls jerseys.

"The war has begun. Our king, please lead us to charge!"

Because Duen's ability to lead the team was so strong, he accidentally passed the playoffs and reached the Eastern Conference finals, only to expose the problem of insufficient manpower and lack of helpers around him.

"No one has been able to defeat Dun in the finals so far. I believe we will enter the finals this year!"

Chicago fans also believe that the rebuilding period is coming to an end and the championship window is about to open.

"Kobe has been waiting for me for two years in the Finals, and I won't break the promise this time!"

In addition, because the schedule is too tight and busy, most playoff teams have suffered injuries to their main players.

“Every time the goal is to become a championship, it always makes people excited.

However, Doon feels that the time is ripe for a championship.

But this is normal, not all fans are rich.

The time came on the evening of April 4, and the first round of the playoffs was finally about to begin.

I believe that before long, we will become the best team in the playoffs and even the entire season! "

"Give the rookies more time, they are all very talented!

Tyreke is an All-Star, and Steph is the skill king and three-point king.

After the regular season, major media outlets across the United States gathered at the United Center in Chicago and continued to ask Duane a variety of questions during post-game interviews.

In Chicago, there are many poor families. In order to satisfy their children's wishes, their parents saved money for a long time before they could take their children to watch a game at the United Center.

This has to be said that the older generation of stars often adhere to the principle of not getting out of the firing line even if they are slightly injured.

After all, some fans, in order to witness the stars playing with their own eyes and get close to the stars, may only spend the ticket money to enter the arena to watch the game once in their lifetime.

Most of the stars came from a difficult background and had the same experience as children, so they can empathize with them and therefore strictly discipline themselves to meet the needs of the fans.

Of course, there are also those who forget their roots. Stars are overloaded with management, or they only pick weak teams to improve their statistics. This will all be criticized.

Duen is already at full strength, he is still relatively young, and his endurance attributes are fully equipped. He has no potential injuries. In addition, he has played a lot of games in the third quarter, so there is no such problem.

However, there was a problem when I came to the United Center today, and that was that when I was warming up in the frontcourt, I was stopped by fans in the player tunnel, especially some parents who came with young fans, and Du En had to sign their jerseys for them.

However, because of the promotion of that team's championship at the end of the regular season two days ago, local Chicago fans were stimulated to spend wildly.

According to Bulls official statistics, in just two days, 31 pieces of Duane's No. jersey were sold.

Fortunately, there were more than 20,000 fans at the scene, and there were only a few dozen fans near the players' tunnel.

Even if some fans brought more than one jersey and needed Du En to sign it, Du En only wasted a few minutes. After satisfying the fans' wishes, Duen waved his sore arm before officially taking the field to warm up.

Perhaps due to this, Duan's shooting touch was average tonight.

Fortunately, the Bulls' opponent tonight is the Magic, who are missing Howard due to injury.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Magic management knew that they would not be able to keep Howard during the offseason.

So in order to squeeze out the last value of Howard, Van Gundy was instructed to fuck Howard to death and ensure that the Magic had a good seat in the playoffs as much as possible.

However, due to the shortened season, the tight schedule, and the high consumption of the inside, Howard eventually accumulated some ailments and pains, and then fought through the injuries under the deception of the team doctor.

Although the Magic team doctor is not as outrageous as the Trail Blazers veterinarian, he is also a well-known quackery in the United States. The careers of Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill were ruined by Magic quacks.

This time it was Howard's turn. Of course, it is also possible that the management knew the inside story of Howard's injury, but in order to make money for the team in the playoffs, they acquiesced or manipulated all this.

Anyway, Howard has decided to leave Orlando, so why not keep him as his treasure?

Of course, for this series, the Magic are reaping the consequences.

Without Howard's magic, the Bulls' defense would be useless.

Du En noticed that his touch was not good, so he kept holding the ball and rushing inside, and he was accurate every time.

It is precisely because of this that after the first half, Duen had scored 23 points, and the game point difference was also widened to 18 points.

If this continues, this game will undoubtedly be a three-quarter clock-in situation.

In order to reduce their own physical exertion, but also to increase playoff game experience for Kawhi, Butler and others.

As early as halftime, Duane made suggestions to Scott Scales, asking him to adjust the second-half rotation to allow the first- and second-year rookies to get more playing time.

Scott Scales carefully considered Duan's idea, and finally agreed with Duan's point of view and made reasonable arrangements.

The Magic did not seize the opportunity of the Bulls treating the third quarter as garbage time in advance, replacing players from the third lineup, and quickly narrowed the point difference.

The Bulls' young players also try their best to seize the opportunity to play in the playoffs and give their best performance on the court. In this way, they strive to be reused by the team next season.

It was basically the same as the regular season. Kawhi, Butler and others performed well. In addition, second-year players Bradley and Jeremy Lin also performed well and did not disappoint Duan and Scott Skiles. .

Originally, Duane was prepared to come on the court to protect the team for a few minutes at the critical moment in the fourth quarter, but the rookies successfully completed the tasks assigned to them by Scott Skiles.

89 to 101, the Bulls easily won the first round G1 with a 12-point advantage.

整场比赛下来，杜恩只上场了26分钟，取得了27分4篮板5助攻2抢断的数据。

It is also because the other main players do not have much playing time, so the team does not have a second player who scores 20+ points.

However, starting and benching, in addition to Duan, the Bulls have 5 players who scored in double figures.

To a certain extent, the Bulls may not have qualified second and third leaders, but they have a group of fourth and fifth leaders.

Time soon came to April 4, and the Bulls and Magic once again went to war at the United Center.

Similar to G1, as early as the first half, Du En led the team to defeat the Magic's main force and established an early 21-point advantage.

In the third quarter, Duan only played for 4 minutes. In the fourth quarter, he directly tossed the towel to the rookies on the sidelines and acted as the atmosphere team.

It can only be said that without the magic after Howard, it is indeed a pretty good whetstone.

The Bulls' rookies have been given more opportunities to experience and grow, while the Bulls' main players have gone through this series without much consumption.

Compared with other playoff teams that played in a hazy manner, the Bulls played this series too easily.

On May 5, the first round of the playoffs between the Bulls and Magic came to an end in G5.

The Bulls easily swept their opponents 4-0 and took the lead in advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

However, the Bulls' opponents have yet to defeat their opponents in the first round and advance to the second round.

On the contrary, the Heat, second in the Eastern Conference, and the Pacers, third in the Eastern Conference, swept their opponents 4-1 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In this way, the series between the Heat and the Pacers will undoubtedly start first.

Fortunately, the Celtics finally relied on game experience and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After all the Eastern Conference semifinals advanced, the Eastern Conference semifinals began soon.

On May 5, the Heat's Big Three thought they could beat the young Pacers.

Who would have thought that Hibbert would sit at the basket, but the efficiency of Wade and James in attacking the basket would be reduced by seven to eight percentage points.

At the same time, Bosh was injured in the first game.

Although the Heat won G1 based on experience, the situation was somewhat unfavorable to the Heat.

On May 5, the game between the Bulls and Celtics finally started.

The Celtics also have injuries to their main players. Ray Allen was injured as early as the regular season. This is one of the reasons why the Celtics struggled in the first round of the playoffs.

As the saying goes, I will kill you while you are sick.

The Bulls' goal this season is the championship. No matter which round of the series it is, they must continue to win.

Therefore, as a competitor, there is no mercy at all.

Taking advantage of the Celtics' weakness at the second position and poor shooting, the Bulls gave Evans more tactics and also used zone defense to limit the Celtics' scoring.

The Celtics tried to use defense and game experience to solve the Bulls, but Duan broke out early in G1, scoring 38 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, leading the team to victory.

In G2, Ray Allen quickly returned from injury, but the effect of being appointed as a substitute at the critical moment was not good. He made 5 of 1 three-pointers, which actually did the Celtics a disservice.

For the Bulls, Curry, who started the game, served as a good space point and helped the team score 5 three-pointers.

This may also allow the Celtics players to feel the feeling of Ray Allen playing on the opposite side.

93 to 106, the Bulls once again won the game by a big score, pushing the series score to 2-0.

Next, the Bulls and their team moved to Boston, and the Celtics finally got back a win at the home buzzer.

However, league officials also know that the Celtics cannot become a stumbling block for the Bulls this season.

The Bulls have reached the finals again, and Duan has been crowned the king again, which will definitely attract a lot of attention!

For this wave of traffic, league officials have no intention of stopping the Bulls.

In the end, the Bulls defeated the Celtics 4-1 after returning to Chicago and once again advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
