Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 88 Playoff debut (Third update, please subscribe)

With the 03-04 season, the regular season schedule has officially ended.

新秀赛季打满82场全勤的杜恩，也向支持他的球迷们，交出了场均23.4分5.8篮板7.8助攻1.1抢断0.6盖帽的答卷。

In terms of points per game, Durn ranks sixth on the scoring list, second only to McGrady, O'Neal, Peja, Garnett, and Kobe.

In order of total points, Dunn scored 1919 points in a single season, only behind Garnett with 1987 points and Peja with 1964 points.

Speaking of assists, Duen is also on the list.

The average assists per game ranks fourth in the assists list, only below Kidd, Marbury, and Nash.

Many people will find it incredible, isn't Marbury's nickname the Lone Wolf?

In fact, if you look at assist data alone, Marbury has always been on the list.

Especially this season, with 719 assists in a single season, the highest in the league.

It can only be said that sometimes data can be deceiving.

Averaging a triple-double per game does not mean comprehensiveness, and high scoring data does not mean rich offensive methods and strong key ball ability.

Taking Duane himself as an example, most of Duane's statistics are based on the first half of the regular season.

If Dunn didn't get the templates of Pippen, Eddie Jones, and Kidd, then his scoring and organizational skills would be a bit vain.

But now, Dunn is a bit of a genuine product, with the taste of the league's top ten superstars.

Leaving the OK combination and the Lakers, Duane's personal ability may not be as good as the top ten superstars in the league.

But in terms of team leadership ability, Dunn feels that he has surpassed many superstars who are good at fighting alone and don't know how to unite their teammates to help the team win.

Next, Duan will use his own abilities to help the Lakers win the biggest honor and the biggest award this year - the NBA championship!
Dun will also use this to achieve a gorgeous transformation between rookie and superstar.

……

"Dune, are you excited?"

On April 4, at the Staples Center, the first round of G18 of the Lakers vs. Jazz playoffs is about to start.

At this time, the starting players of the two teams have come to the field, and the game is about to enter the jump ball link.

Before the game officially started, O'Neal, as the big brother of the Lakers, still cared about Duane, a rookie who participated in the playoffs for the first time.

"Excited, I don't seem to be...I seem a little nervous and tired now."

Duan answered O'Neill truthfully.

In fact, last night, Dunn was still looking forward to tonight's game.

Even after taking melatonin, I was excited for an hour or two before falling asleep in a daze.

Playing in the All-Star Game before, Du En didn't seem to be too nervous.

Suddenly going to play in the playoffs tonight, it feels like something is wrong...

However, this is obviously the most familiar arena and the most familiar venue - Staples Center!
Dunn didn't know what was affected.

"Don't worry, even if you play badly, Shaq can win you!
Don't look at Kobe, who is very fierce now, but he was also a soft-footed shrimp when he first played in the playoffs.

You still need to study, take your time and don't be in a hurry. Later, you can find opportunities to be on the bench and score more than ten points!

All that's left is to pass the ball to Shaq, and Shaq will naturally help you win the game! "

As a triple crown winner, O'Neill gave advice to the rookie Duane.

After listening to O'Neill's experience, Dunn felt that this should indeed be done.

Although Dunn feels that his strength is enough, he might as well hug O'Neal's thigh first and accumulate experience in the playoffs.

Anyway, there is no chance to grab the FMVP this year!
And with Duane's current strength, I'm afraid he won't be reduced to the role player championship.

Winning the championship is the top priority!

Now it is better to pass the ball that has been practiced for a season to O'Neal, take it to the stage of the playoffs, and test the results!

Perhaps it was also because of O'Neill's support that Dunn suddenly had the confidence to pretend to be a tiger.

Du En started shaking all of a sudden!"Shaking" in high spirits!
With O'Neal jumping the ball over Utah Jazz center Greg Ostertag, it was Payton who dribbled the ball firmly across half court.

For the championship ring, Payton can only restrain his temper and petty temper.

According to the stable style of play in the last five games of the regular season, the ball is handed over to Dunn.

Faced with Kirilenko's single defense, Dunn naturally would not choose singles, but immediately played a pick-and-roll with Payton.

At the same time, O'Neill and Kobe have made preparations for receiving singles.

I saw that when Duane and Payton crossed screens, the Jazz still chose to flank Duane one after the other.

Dunn immediately took the ball and passed the ball to O'Neal in the form of a lob.

No, Kirilenko immediately let go of Dunn and retreated into the penalty area.

Thanks to O'Neal, he directly faced Greg Ostertag's defense, punched his back to make a breakthrough space, and then turned around and made a hard bow, jumping and buckling.

Kirilen's defensive speed is already very fast, but it is still not as fast as O'Neill's set.

"It seems that there is no problem..."

Although O'Neal took a step back after receiving the ball, Duane failed to get assist data.

But the ball just now was real and passed to O'Neal without any mistakes.

Under O'Neal's personal ability, he scored into the basket, which still gave Dunn great confidence.

Before the playoffs, Duen was still a little uneasy, worried that he would perform poorly in the playoffs.

Now that he is doing his job well, O'Neill's thigh is still reliable, and someone can give him the bottom line.

Du En's courage grew naturally, and he finally didn't have to be restrained and cautious anymore.

Speaking of the Jazz's offensive round, Sloan seems to intend to replicate the success of Stockton and Malone, first playing Carlos Arroyo and Kirilenko's pick-and-roll cooperation in the frontcourt.

Although Kirilenko is taller than Duane, Duane can also beat Kirilenko with his strength, not to mention that Kirilenko plays without the ball, and Duane will stare him to death and it will be over.

Carlos Arroyo's overall view is far inferior to Stockton's, and he cannot pass the ball to Kirilenko through the gap to help the latter attack the basket.

In the end, he could only go around and throw the ball to Tom Gugliota in the low post, allowing Tom Gugliota to single Malone in the low post.

Tom Gugliotta was also an All-Star backup power forward in his peak period, but now he is declining and his form is no longer good.

Malone stuck in Tom Gugliotta's position. Tom Gugliotta tried to hit back and failed to shake Malone, so he could only pass the ball to the outside again.

Although Alexander Pavlovich is a shooter, facing Kobe's defense, he couldn't independently create a shooting space and throw the ball.

Ever since, he could only hand the ball to Kirilenko, and let Kirilenko complete the shot in the remaining five or six seconds of attack time.

There is no way, sometimes the head of the team has to do this kind of work.

After taking over, Kirilenko, facing Dunn's strict defense, could only rely on his height advantage to shoot and finish.

It's true that Kirilenko is an all-around fighter, and he can shoot well, but he is better at picking and rolling to the basket.

Under Dunn's interference, Kirilenko, who made a hasty shot, could not help the Jazz recover the point difference, but instead contributed a defensive rebound to O'Neal.

After O'Neal got the ball, he chose to pass the ball to Dunn who had passed to him not long ago.

In the past, Dunn slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, continued to follow the normal rhythm of the game, and the triangle offense was over.

However, after clearly knowing that O'Neal can cover the bottom line, Dunn took the ball and made a fast break, rushing forward.

Kirilenko returned to defense very quickly, but still failed to guard Du En. Multiple templates were superimposed, and Du En's physical attributes were basically above 90.

Let him be strong if he is strong, I will be the slam dunk king!
Even with some physical confrontation, Duan was still able to dunk the ball into the basket!

It's a pity that the whistle in the playoffs is stricter than in the regular season, and Dunn didn't get the opportunity to add two plus one and an additional penalty.

Even so, Duan didn't have stage fright in his first playoff game!

As soon as the game started, he relied on his personal ability to help the Lakers expand their 2-point advantage.
