Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

The playoffs are not just a competition of physical and technical skills, spirit and will are also particularly important.

Originally, it was somewhat difficult for Curry to break through Paul's defense and escape the Clippers' double-team.

But after truly breaking through the mental bottleneck tonight, it was like a young eagle leaping off a cliff, flapping its wings slightly and immediately soaring into the sky.

In the last Finals Game 2, Curry scored 41 points, which was his personal highest score in a single game in the Finals.

In this Game 3 of the Finals, Curry continued his performance and went one step further, scoring 43 points.

Obviously, the Clippers' defense against Curry was tighter and more demanding, but Curry's scoring in the finals set a new record.

I can only say that this is a superstar, and this is the potential that only the top ten superstars in history can unleash.

Of course, this is also thanks to Durant and other Bulls players who constantly create opportunities for Curry.

Only then can Curry have a big breakthrough and truly transform from the second-in-command to the boss capable of ruling the league.

Many times, stars fail to make further progress in the playoffs because their teammates are unreliable.

Someone always says that role players failed to step up.

Sometimes, it makes sense.

Great stars can always play a better role in an excellent team, but this is different from sucking the blood of teammates and relying on team support to get better data.

Star players show their quality in the playoffs, taking over the game at critical moments and delivering highlight performances.

Some people rely on their teammates to play offensive shots to show their quality, and in the game where he won, he gained more data in other stages.

When the former performs well, the team tends to win more easily.

The latter puts up brilliant statistics, and often the team wins with great difficulty, but loses miserably.

Curry is undoubtedly the former.

In the first half, the Bulls relied on their team advantage to establish some scoring leads, but Curry still played a little unsuccessfully and not very smartly in the first half.

In the second half, after Curry overcame his inner demons and was reborn, the Bulls played smoothly and easily suppressed the Clippers' momentum.

It is worth mentioning that Curry was so high-spirited and had a breakthrough on the mental level that he didn't know what fatigue was in the second half.

In previous games, if the defense was too intense in the first three quarters, Curry's scoring efficiency would still drop in the fourth quarter. Sometimes he had no touch at all and was in very bad shape.

But this time it didn't happen. Not only did Curry kill everyone in the third quarter, but he also had the stamina to continue breaking through in the fourth quarter and scored points with iron-blooded two-pointers.

To be honest, the fourth quarter of the finals is completely different from the fourth quarter of the regular season.

Even if they were all iron-blooded two-pointers, being able to do so in the fourth quarter of the finals is also a skill.

Curry is a physical freak of historical level, and naturally has the ability to score points steadily in the fourth quarter of the finals.

Not to mention, Curry is not threatening anyone now, so the referee's attitude towards Curry is still acceptable.

Without the referee targeting and the cylinder being confiscated, and playing next to Duane, Curry will undoubtedly perform better.

However, a few years later, Duane became an ordinary All-Star or even an ordinary starter.

Curry is dominating the NBA as a white guard, and it may not be easy to maintain this scoring efficiency.

Back to the point, after winning Game 3 of the Finals, the Bulls had no worries at all.

All I can say is that the annual harvest is approaching.

With their third consecutive championship on the horizon, the Bulls couldn't afford to kill the Clippers, their background team.

In addition, the consideration is that returning to Chicago will sell more tickets and enjoy the warm welcome of the home fans. Also, Curry is the new king and needs some cheers and applause.

Therefore, after the start of Game 4 of the Finals, the Bulls players could only act according to the situation and unfortunately lost Game 11 of the Finals with a difference of 4 points.

On the evening of June 6, at the United Center in Chicago.

The Bulls' starting five had their appearance order adjusted tonight, with Durant, who used to be the last player to appear, now being the first.

When the Bulls fans at the scene heard the DJ announce that Durant would be the first to appear on the court, they were stunned at first and did not immediately respond with enthusiastic cheers.

However, after they reacted, they still shouted MVP in unison to express their praise and gratitude to Duane for retiring at the right time and carrying on the legacy in an orderly manner.

After Durant came on the court, Horford, Gobert, and Bojan came on the court one after another, until the DJ on the scene called out Curry's number and name, and then thunderous cheers broke out at the scene.

"Curry, Curry, Curry!"

Before Curry officially won the Finals MVP, the fans seemed to maintain the due respect for Durant and did not shout MVP to Curry in unison.

Of course, a small number of fans still shouted MVP, but their cheers were drowned out by the many cheers of people shouting Curry's last name.

This also proves that even if there is a new owner in the house, the old owner's past achievements will not be erased at will.

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

Not long after the game started, the United Center began to shout MVP.

This was mainly because Duane got the ball first and opened up the game early.

Curry has now taken over the responsibility of the team's leader, so he naturally needs to save his energy for key shots. He ran a marathon in the first quarter to help other teammates open up space.

Duane did not need to be stingy with his energy. He took the ball and kept screening and calling out Paul, trying to consume Paul's energy first.

This will also make it easier for Curry to win the game in the third and fourth quarters.

But to be honest, there was no need to fight like this tonight.

After all, Paul also knows that the Clippers have no hope of turning defeat into victory and no hope of winning the championship this year.

Tonight, the Clippers couldn't find a player who was truly willing to give his all.

Even Durant's faith has been shaken.

Real fans don’t give up when their team is down… but the players do.

Although the Clippers are not in a slump today, the problem is that Durant is a very ambitious person. After entering the league, he set his goal on the championship and the league's dominance.

Once Durant finds that he cannot realize his personal dream, then perhaps Durant will choose to stay where he is and move to the next stop.

But this cannot be blamed on Durant, after all, there are many people like this in the league.

Who distorted the NBA's culture?

"It's not me after all!" Duan spread his hands in response to the reporter's question.

91 to 103, the Bulls won again at home, and all the games of this year's finals came to an end.

Traditionally, at the end of the finals, reporters on site would interview the team's leader.

When Duane was asked who would be the FMVP tonight, he first spread his hands and then pointed at Curry who was surrounded by his teammates on the sidelines.

What Duan meant was simply to ask reporters to go find Curry for an interview.

Maybe we can find some evidence on Curry's face that men don't shed tears easily.

After hearing what Duane said, the reporters at the scene had no choice but to let Duane go and go to find trouble with Curry.

"Duane, congratulations! You are always a winner."

“KD, thank you for the recognition.

You are awesome too, hope to see you in the finals next year.

But like I said some time ago, next time you can just challenge Stephen directly.

I have taught Stephen everything I have.

I think he will be even stronger next season.

If you want to beat us, maybe you need to work harder this summer."

After getting rid of the reporters, Durant returned to the court and met Durant who came to congratulate him.

Although Durant looked unhappy, he still had the proper demeanor after losing.

After saying goodbye to Durant, Durant approached Paul again: "Cherish your last peak, believe in your teammates, and wish you success as well."

"Duane, congratulations.

You won so beautifully, just like I dreamed.

How I wish I could turn my dreams into reality, but it is so difficult.

I really can't imagine, how can you win so many championships, why is winning so easy for you?
Wow, is this the God of Basketball? I also want to play basketball with God, how about taking me with you? "

Paul tried to make the best of a bad situation and played a joke on Dunn.

Du En also knew that some of the true feelings were said in the form of jokes.

"In a few years, there will be a chance..."

Duane gave an ambiguous answer. With Paul's ability and experience, he will still be able to play for a few more years, and he is unlikely to be willing to join the Bulls at the minimum salary and serve as a substitute for Curry.

After all, Paul's nickname is the Point Guard God, and the honors he has accumulated in the past qualifies him to compete for the No. 1 point guard in the past decade.

Curry also plays as a point guard, but with his experience in the playoffs and finals, as well as his achievements, he has come from behind and completely distanced himself from Paul.

Of course, Paul doesn't admit that Curry has completely surpassed him.

In the NBA, just based on discussion and IF, everyone is better than Curry. Until the team needs a player who is really better than Curry, all the people who had been clamoring before become silent.

Of course, as home team fans, the Bulls fans inside and outside the United Center tonight will only cheer loudly for Curry.

The finals have indeed ended, but the finals awards ceremony has not yet begun. It is still unknown whether Curry can win the finals MVP.

It is true that Curry widened the scoring gap between him and Durant in G3, G4, and G5, but Durant was still in the lead in terms of rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.

Plus, Duane is the league’s top player and the king of Nike.

Even if Duane didn't control the media, he might still be able to win another Iguodala Award when he handed over power and stepped back. (End of this chapter)
