Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

"KD, you performed great tonight. I look forward to seeing you in the playoffs!"

"Chris, maybe I should congratulate you in advance, I think the best player tonight will be you.

Your performance on the court shines in my eyes, you deserve such an honor.

In addition, I wish you can play even better in the next regular season and playoffs.

I hope the West is no longer dominated by a bunch of old guys like it used to be. "

141 to 145, the Eastern All-Stars trailed the Western All-Stars by 4 points. As a result, tonight's All-Star MVP will only be selected from the Western All-Stars.

Normally speaking, the person with the highest score in the Western Conference All-Star team must be the All-Star MVP tonight.

However, Durant, who scored the most tonight, won the All-Star MVP honor in last year's All-Star Game.

Although at the critical moment tonight, it was Durant who fully demonstrated his unparalleled talent and won the game with a stick shot.

However, due to the unspoken rules of the All-Star Game, Durant was just making a wedding dress for Paul, the team's second-best performer.

As someone who has experienced this, Du En naturally knows what will happen next.

After the game, he took the initiative to chat with Durant and Paul who were about to leave the game, fully demonstrating the demeanor of a senior in the league.

"Du En, don't worry, I won't break the appointment.

I also hope you can return to the stage of the finals!
We are not afraid of failure, we are only afraid of not having a chance to take revenge.

Just like tonight, if you had been on the court at the end, we might not have won so easily.

But it's a pity that I couldn't see you in the fourth quarter of the game.

I'm more interested in beating you than I am in winning the game.

Of course, I also know that my teammates and I still have some work to do. We have to work harder and be better. "

Durant's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and it was obvious that he wanted to prove himself by defeating Duan.

It's a pity that Du En never gave Durant this opportunity.

Durant participated in the London Olympics and became the scoring leader of the Dream Team. He thought he could defeat Durant with the help of the Olympics.

Unexpectedly, Duan was eliminated early in the quarterfinals due to the poor strength of his men's basketball teammates.

As for this year's regular season, the Bulls have the league's best forward group. They don't even have a CBA around them. They are basically first-round picks. Durant only relies on Westbrook, Jeff Green and other teammates, which is really not Durant's. opponent.

Of course, the regular season is not over yet, and Durant will have the opportunity to visit the United Center to see if he can defeat the Bulls and Duran on the road.

By the way, after Durant said harsh words to Du En, he quickly gave up his position and walked away coolly.

Durant also knows who the next stage and spotlight belongs to.

In addition, Paul received encouragement from Du En and must have something to say to Du En.

Therefore, Durant didn't deliberately stay here to listen to the wall.

"I am very happy to receive your recognition, Duan, and I will learn from you and become a great star like you.

I'm not too sure about the playoffs yet, but I will try what you said and fix the old stuff in the West.

Don’t worry, my teammates and I will quickly adjust our state and appear in front of you as the strongest player in the Western Conference! "

Paul can also guess that the All-Star MVP is probably guaranteed.

The next honors he can pursue, in addition to the regular season MVP, are also the championship and finals MVP!

Anyway, Paul is definitely not lacking in the best team and the best defensive team.

If you want to win honors such as regular season MVP, championship, and FMVP, you have to challenge Duen, the league ruler.

"I'm looking forward to your performance!" Du En patted Paul on the shoulder, gave up the center of the stage again, turned around and left.

Then, as everyone expected, Paul won the sparkling All-Star MVP.

This makes Wade, James, Anthony and others who have once again been reduced to foils feel unwilling to do so.

Paul, the All-Star MVP, has a little bit of water, mainly because of the real battle in the fourth quarter tonight. In the West, Durant is mainly on C.

Durant was able to become the scoring leader of the Dream 10 team last summer, and his scoring efficiency was extremely high, which already explains some problems.

At the end of the day, basketball is a big man's game.

Even in the small ball era when centers are fading, big men still have unlimited advantages on the court, let alone big men like Duane and Durant who can shoot.

Fortunately, there is only one alliance ruler like Duen who has no solution for offense, tough defense, and unlimited physical strength.

Durant's offense is strong, but his defensive deterrent is not as great as Duen's, and his physical strength gauge is not as long as Duen's.

Nowadays, Durant's only advantage over Duan is his youth.

The current view of most people inside and outside the league is that when Durant declines from his peak and no longer has the strength to rule the league, Durant will be at his peak and can perfectly take over as the next ruler of the league.

Who would have thought that Du En has already chosen his successor, and there are more than one.

Curry's lack of defense can be made up for by the talent of the forward group, and Kawhi's lack of endurance attributes can also be solved by rotation and the talent of the forward group.

Of course, it is still a bit premature to consider these issues.

Now that Duan is in his prime, he still has at least three or four years to win the boss championship.

When time really takes its toll and your physical condition declines, you can also follow the example of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Duncan, who usually play basketball for health and play dead.

In the playoffs, he will rejuvenate himself, teach the underachievers how to play, and then tell them "the future is yours."

Closer to home, after the All-Star weekend, Duan quickly led the team back to Chicago.

After the start of the second half of the regular season, Doon gradually showed his playoff status. Throughout March, Doon averaged 29.7 points per game.

If he hadn't helped his teammates with statistics in the first half of the regular season, Duan would have had a chance to compete for the scoring title again this season.

However, Dune's current historical status is not lacking in one or two scoring champions. The championship is the most important!
Time quickly came to April, and the Bulls, who had already won 52 games and returned to the top spot in the Eastern Conference, were firmly in the playoffs.

This also means that Du En will soon launch an attack on his seventh championship!
Of course, the regular season is not over yet. In the closing stages of the remaining 10 games, the Bulls worked together to end the regular season with 60+ wins.

In order to ensure that the team can achieve an excellent record while also protecting the main players and giving them more rest time.

Middleton, Green and Crowder, who played in the Development League for one season, were also recalled.

In addition, Ray Allen was reinforced in the off-season, and Rashard Lewis and Chauncey Billups were signed in the middle of the season.

These three veterans also got more playing time, started to warm up in advance, and actively participated in the preparations for the playoffs. There is a saying that the Bulls are the devil of the league and the villain, but they are still well-known among the veterans who have not won the championship.

Dunn has been in contact with Billups before, and he wanted to join forces with Billups in the early years. However, Billups' contract was not cheap, and he also wanted to win the championship through his own efforts.

It was only in recent years that I gradually became older and weaker, and my career could not last long, so I let go of my pride and chose to hug Du En and get a championship ring.

To be honest, Duen still owes him this, and he also owes him a FMVP.

As for Lewis, that's the work of general manager John Paxson.

Although Lewis' athletic ability has declined significantly and he has little defense, as a shooter, his shooting ability has not declined seriously.

Of course, in the playoffs, Billups and Lewis may not be able to use them, but in the regular season, they still have their place.

Anyway, the Bulls spent money, and in the last ten games of the regular season, they don’t feel bad if it is used up.

Fortunately, the Bulls' overall schedule is still good. At the end of the regular season, there are only three strong teams, and the remaining seven teams are all lottery teams that have already failed.

The Bulls did not have any players injured at the last moment, and finally got what they wanted, ending the regular season with an excellent record of 61 wins and 21 losses.

“I don’t care if we win three consecutive MVPs, or who becomes the regular season MVP, our goal has always been the championship.

We've been working hard at it and we're good at winning in the playoffs.

I believe in my own strength and my teammates. We trust each other and help each other.

I am convinced that we are still the best team and we can succeed again! "

After the regular season, when interviewed by the media, Duan announced his championship declaration for this season early.

The Bulls completed reconstruction last year and won the championship last year. If they cannot defend the title this year, it will definitely be an extremely failed season.

However, Dunn is not worried about this situation at all.

This season the Bulls have a strong team and are the only team in the league in terms of hard power.

In addition, as early as the offseason, the contract renewal issue of the main players was resolved, so there is no need to worry about players with contract years troubled by crazy moves in the playoffs for their own selfish purposes.

There are not many conflicts and problems accumulated in the Bulls. Even if there are, they are just a few insignificant players and do not need to be taken seriously.

In the next playoffs, the only thing the Bulls need to pay attention to is injuries, that's all.

The Bulls' rotation is relatively reasonable. During the regular season, the players only had minor bumps and bruises. Even if a player was injured, it would only last a week or two.

There are no serious injuries to the knees, ankles, groin, etc.

Of course, the intensity of the playoffs is definitely greater than that of the regular season, and there may be a greater chance of injuries due to human factors.

However, because of their own record, the Bulls picked a relatively good opponent in the first round-the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks' regular season record this season barely exceeded 40 wins, and there are no All-Star players on the team. It can only be said that they were lucky to reach the playoffs.

Against such an opponent, and the fact that Chicago and Milwaukee are separated by a narrow strip of water, the Bulls have a home court advantage in every game based on the spending power of Bulls fans.

It will be more difficult for the Bulls if they don't want to sweep their opponents.

The fact is just as Duen and others thought, starting from G1, the Bulls did not feel any competition pressure.

The Bucks, who made it to the playoffs for the first time in recent years, are a bit bad at playing. Even if they can't defend, they can't do anything offensively.

Ever since, Duan played three three-quarter playoff games in a row.

By G4, the league couldn't stand it anymore, and the referees had to sideline and give the Bucks a hand. The Bulls, on the other hand, were also determined to play tacit basketball and return to Chicago to win the game.

Duan just showed off and played more than three minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

It is worth mentioning that when Duane came off the court, the Bucks had already established a 21-point lead with the help of the referee.

Under normal circumstances, the Bucks' main players would be able to win this game if they pressed for time.

Unexpectedly, the Bulls sent a pure substitute lineup composed of five rookies. Instead of losing points, they quickly recovered the point difference and narrowed it to less than 10 points.

When things like this happen, you can't blame the Bulls players for not being ethical and breaking the tacit understanding.

But the Bucks players really can't hold up the wall, and a group of starters can't beat the Bulls' bench.

Of course, the Bulls' substitutes are also outrageous.

On the one hand, he is young and inexperienced, does not understand how to play tacitly, does not have a tacit understanding with the management, and only wants to help the team win.

On the other hand, they are indeed talented. After putting all their efforts, the Bucks' main players not only failed to get any advantage, but were beaten to the point of losing their armor.

In just over 3 minutes, the Bulls bench relied on defensive counterattacks and physical talent to chase 13 points in a row.

When this happened, Bulls head coach Scott Scales had no choice but to remove the bench players and replace them with the starting five headed by Dunn.

The Bulls' playoff games had millions of viewers in North America alone.

Therefore, there is hope of being able to turn defeat into victory and win the game. The Bulls cannot pretend to be deaf and deliberately give up the game even though they can win.

Not to mention, this year is the most critical year for the change of Du En's historical status. Du En also has to take a little care of his reputation.

You can play with tacit understanding, but if you lose too falsely, it becomes a false match.

Scott Skiles obviously also has this consideration. He has won five championships together with Du En. Even if he has no money in his stomach, he has become a famous coach despite his seniority.

Scott Scales, like Duane, also needs to pay attention to outside public opinion.

With this in mind, Scott Skiles replaced Duane and others on the field in time.

Next, the scene that appeared on the court did not surprise everyone.

Duan scored 7 points in a row after coming on the court. Even though the Bucks also scored 3 points during the period, the score was still narrowing.

With the remaining 5 points difference, the Bulls quickly erased it. The Bulls successfully defended for two consecutive rounds. With George's transition attack and Curry's three-pointer, they just tied it.

With more than two minutes left in the game, Duan quickly helped the Bulls build a 4-point lead with two consecutive rounds of low singles.

At the critical moment of the Bucks, no one was able to stand up and score. Until the end of the game, the Bulls won the game with a 7-point advantage.

No one expected that this supposedly boring game would achieve such an amazing reversal in just 12 minutes in the fourth quarter!

The Bucks went from leading by 21 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter to falling behind by 7 points and losing!
When this happened, not only Bucks players and fans couldn't understand, but even Bulls fans were a little surprised.

38 points in a single quarter? What a terrifying dominance!
After the Bulls swept the Bucks and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, both the Eastern Conference and Western Conference championship teams had to take the matter seriously and take the time to re-study the Bulls. (End of chapter)
