"What? Regular season MVP? Officials from the league are coming to give me an award? Today isn't April Fool's Day, right?"

The day after advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, Dunn originally wanted to find a physical therapist to relieve his physical fatigue, but unexpectedly received a call from Bulls general manager John Paxson.

At first upon hearing the news, Doon thought John Paxson was out to get some fun out of him.

However, John Paxson quickly answered in the affirmative, and then Duan realized: "Damn it, I won a regular season MVP again?"

In fact, it's no wonder that Duen is surprised. Duen has already won 4 regular season MVPs before.

In terms of the number of regular season MVPs, he is already on par with Chamberlain.

Although he is still behind the 5 MVP Russell and Jordan, and the 6 MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as a foreign player, Duan has already reached the ceiling.

Normally, last year, Duane came back and led the Bulls to first place in the Eastern Conference and second place in the league. The league did not consider awarding Dunn the regular season MVP. Dunn should never have the opportunity to win this honor again in his life.

But I didn’t expect that it would be this year.

The Bulls' record is not outstanding, only second in the Eastern Conference and eighth in the league. Duan's personal data also failed to average a triple-double as expected.

Even though he was not favored in selecting the regular season MVP in all aspects, Du En was upset and won the fifth regular season MVP in his career, which really surprised Du En.

"Is it because Nike contributed? I became the king of Nike?"

Everyone knows that the evaluation criteria for major NBA awards will vary from person to person.

To be honest, Duan should have won the fifth or even sixth regular season MVP of his career a few years ago.

If nothing else, just looking at Du En's previous six FMVPs, you know that Du En is indeed worthy of this honor.

Not to mention, once he came back last year, he led the team to the eighth championship of his career.

After Duan won his fifth championship, his performance was so outstanding that he dominated the NBA for an era, and NBA officials and major media imposed higher standards for awards.

But now that Nike has become the league's top financial sponsor, Nike's influence on major sports media is also increasing day by day.

Therefore, when various strict standards were lifted on Duen, it was natural that Duen won the regular season MVP.

To some extent, this is a late compensation, or belated recognition.

Overall, this honor is completely deserved for Du En.

Of course, Duen also understands that the team's performance this season is not outstanding, and his data does not meet the standards of previous regular season MVPs.

After the league officially awards him the regular season MVP, he will definitely suffer some criticism.

Perhaps, league officials really hope that these controversies will increase the topic and attract the attention of passerby fans.

Now Duane is very well-known in the United States and even the world!
Duane once again won the regular season MVP, comparable to Russell and Jordan. This is undoubtedly huge news.

It is true that after his comeback to win the championship last year, the vast majority of fans have already recognized that Dunn has surpassed Jordan.

However, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Around the world, especially in the United States, there are still some fans who don't think so and are still arrogant.

Now Duane has once again won a regular season MVP. In terms of the honor of regular season MVP, he is not inferior to Jordan.

This is further evidence that Du En's previous championships and FMVP are not water-based and are not the benefits of the times.

"Dunn, congratulations on becoming the MVP of this season!"

Not long after, Dunn attended the regular season MVP award ceremony jointly organized by the NBA and the Bulls, and received the fifth regular season MVP trophy in his career.

After receiving the trophy, the scene immediately turned into a press conference, and Duan had to be interviewed by the media reporters at the scene.

"Dunn, have you noticed that after you won this MVP, you have already caught up with Michael Jordan?"

"Really? You know, I'm not interested in that!
Winning is more important than anything else!
After I returned to the NBA, my pursuit was always to win a championship.

The next game will be a big challenge for me. I will not be complacent just because I won the MVP. "

The reporters at the scene had prepared a lot of questions, but they didn't expect that Du En took this regular season MVP very lightly, and seemed not to think of it as a thing at all.

As a result, many questions were raised, but they did not achieve the results they expected.

Today's interview could only be concluded hastily.

However, Duane returned to the locker room with the regular season MVP trophy, but other Bulls players were already waiting in the locker room.

"Oooooooo-"

Du En thought they were going to spray cold water on him, but instead he rushed forward like a zombie with his hands raised.

After a while, Dunn's originally combed hair was messed up, especially the back of his head, which was pressed down by several centimeters.

If this happens a few more times, Duen will really worry that he will be like Ginobili.

"Local players are so rude!"

Seeing his teammates come up one by one and then leave with great joy, Du En didn't know what to say.

"If Curry hadn't been injured this season, I might have grabbed Curry's head."

Du En thought to himself.

But if you really want to talk about it, winning a regular season MVP for nothing will not be a loss no matter what.

After putting the trophy in the closet for a while, Du En returned to the training ground and met up with other teammates to practice together.

Because the winner of one group in the Eastern Conference semifinals has not yet been decided, it will take at least four or five days for the Bulls to wait for the Eastern Conference finals to start.

Bulls players can take a good rest during this period, but it is not a good thing if they are out of shape.

Duane thought that since he had already won a regular season MVP, maybe he could also win a Finals MVP.

If there is a chance to win the championship this year, Duan will definitely give it a try.

Especially the current situation in the Western Conference, which is extremely fierce and fierce, makes Du En feel even more that he might be able to make mistakes in the finals this year.

The Clippers, who Durant joined, were expected to advance out of the Western Conference and win the championship. Unexpectedly, Paul was injured in the first round of the playoffs. Although he was not reimbursed for the season, his condition was greatly affected.

In the Western Conference semifinals, they faced the Thunder led by Westbrook.

Although the Thunder does not have Durant, the magic needle to solve the scoring problem at critical moments, but under the leadership of Westbrook, their combat effectiveness is also extraordinary.

Westbrook kept hitting the basket with the ball, which caused Griffin, who often played the fifth position this season, to have some physical problems.

Griffin Why Glass? There is a high probability that he still does not have the physical talent of Deputy Gott, but has injected too many supplements.

The intensity of the playoffs was too great, and the physical confrontation couldn't keep up, and then some sequelae showed up.

Nowadays, the Clippers have changed from the Big Three to a 1.5 giant, which is suitable for an old 1.5 player like Durant.

However, even if Durant leads the team to the Western Conference Finals, it may be difficult to break out of the Western Conference.

After all, the other group in this year's Western Conference semifinals is the Rockets led by Harden and Butler, and the Warriors led by James.

The Warriors are indeed suitable for James to play.

Although the Warriors had a relatively poor record during the running-in period in the first half of the regular season.

However, after the Warriors entered the playoffs as sixth in the Western Conference, they advanced to the Western Conference semifinals. This shows how powerful they are. On the contrary, the Rockets did not show their true strength as second in the Western Conference in this series.

Butler played harder and harder in the playoffs than in the regular season, but Harden showed the exact opposite.

But even so, the two teams still dragged the series into a tiebreaker, and for the time being it was considered a close match.

In Duan's view, given the intensity of competition in the Western Conference playoffs, the teams that eventually emerge from the Western Conference will inevitably lose their troops and find it difficult to maintain their overall state.

If everything goes as expected, then this year will be a bumper year for Duen in terms of honors.

During the following period, Du En has been paying attention to the war situation in the West.

The Western Conference stars also gave their views and opinions on Duan winning the regular season MVP.

Durant, who is also one of the three regular season MVP candidates this year, said in an interview with the media: "Dunn defeated me in the finals last year!

I'm not surprised at all that he won the MVP! He should have received this honor last year.

But this year I will use actual actions to prove who is the real MVP! "

When Westbrook heard this, he felt offended: "You traitor! You want to declare war on Du En. I won't interfere, as long as you like it. But why are you trying to rip off the MVP I won last year?"

Westbrook felt that Durant was very uninteresting. Not only did he become a deserter, but he also blamed his former teammate for not being worthy of the regular season MVP.

As a result, Westbrook soon said in front of reporters: "I think every judge has the freedom to vote for his or her favorite MVP.

I also think that Duane deserves to win the MVP this season.

For me, I will not continue to strive for individual awards such as MVP.

Maybe I’ll consider it in the future, but this year I just want to beat some wimps and get the championship that belongs to me and my teammates! "

Durant is yin and yang, so Westbrook is also meaningful.

Originally, Westbrook and Durant had already broken up, and now the two have led different teams to directly confront each other in the playoffs, which is naturally more explosive.

Many people inside and outside the league are also paying close attention to the love-hate relationship between Westbrook and Durant. For a while, the media also followed the trend and interpreted the conversation between the two, further inciting conflicts between them.

When James saw that the media no longer favored him, they paid more attention to Duane, who had just won the regular season MVP, as well as Nike's young king Durant and the new face of the league Westbrook.

In order to avoid being outdated, James also quickly participated in the discussion about Dunn winning the MVP, hoping to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

“Duane is a very, very, very smart man.

Like me, he no longer needs data to prove his qualifications for MVP.

I agree with Doon and what he said.

Winning is more important than personal honor, our pursuit is always the championship!
I firmly believe that we can all succeed! Maybe this year. "

James finally won the tiebreaker and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

The other Western Conference Finals team is the remnant Clippers led by Durant.

In this regard, James naturally feels that the chance of winning the championship this year is very high.

As long as he defeats Durant, the league's little king, in the next Western Conference finals.

Then wait until the finals to defeat Duen, the king of the league.

By then, he will be able to step on the big and small kings and become the most dominant and influential king in the alliance!
James has fantasized about this scene his whole life.

However, even if the time was about to come, James did not dare to say this directly in public, but instead said it in a somewhat concealed way.

This is often a sign of not being mature enough, not confident enough, and not daring to take responsibility.

By the way, it didn't take long for Duan to see the speeches of Durant, Westbrook and James.

In response, Du En smiled slightly and did not respond.

The Eastern Conference Finals are about to begin, and Doon has to think about his opponents in the next round.

Of course, after defeating and winning the Eastern Conference finals, there is no point in having a war of words with the opponents in the Western Conference.

The strong will only be on the court and use basketball to speak for itself.

No matter how many excuses a weak person makes, he cannot cover up his hypocrisy and weakness.

Who is the least dominant superstar? Who among the superstars likes to make excuses the most?
Duane doesn't mind if he can continue his dominance this year, but even if he loses this year, Duane is not prepared to make excuses for himself.

If you lose, you lose, if you win, you win.

Even if it is to pick up the missing championship, Du En wants it.

This was originally won by playing hard on the court.

Instead of relying on the superstars to team up or the referee's help to punish the opponent's rings.

In short, whether you win or lose, everything depends on yourself.

In the blink of an eye, time came to May 5, and G17 of the Eastern Conference Finals began at the Canadian Route Center.

The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals is an away game, which is definitely not good news for Bulls players like Dunn.

Fortunately, I came to the Canadian Route Center more often this year than in previous years.

Because of the All-Star Weekend, the Bulls' main players naturally know more about this arena.

Especially in terms of the atmosphere of the Raptors home game.

The game hasn't even started yet, but most of the Bulls players are already feeling some pressure.

Upon seeing this, Du En spoke to stabilize the morale of the army: "We are the defending champions, they should be more afraid of us!

In terms of experience in the Eastern Conference finals, we have much more experience than them.

Don't worry, they will definitely make mistakes. If we defend well, we can win the game. "

It didn't take long for the starters from the two teams to arrive on the court one after another.

The Eastern Conference Finals begins!
From the beginning of the game, Duan followed the same strategy as he used against the Hawks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. He attacked with the ball as soon as possible and acted as a vanguard.

Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey is good at establishing a defensive system. The Raptors can suddenly emerge in the Eastern Conference this year because of their defense.

The Raptors clearly learned the lesson from the Eagles' loss to the Bulls. They did not rashly attack Duan. Instead, they used wireless defense changes and tight pressure to limit Duan's scoring.

However, Du En smiled when he saw this formation.

"Unlimited defense changes, isn't it still single defense?"

"Do you know what I'm best at? In my first season in the NBA, my main tactic was the triangle offense, which specifically serves star players' singles tactics!"

In terms of Du En's physical talent and personal ability, he is undoubtedly best at singles, and singles without distinction!

To Duen, the Raptors' defensive strategy is tantamount to not making any defensive adjustments... (End of Chapter)
