"The Detroit Pistons are a team that's good at defense, but defensive actions should be directed toward the ball, not toward my players."
"You know, Tyson is a tough guy. If he wasn't really injured and couldn't play, he would definitely apply to play!"
"As a team doctor, I don't know the extent of his injury. I only know that he needs to rest. He may miss the next two to three weeks, depending on how he recovers."
"Duane is an immeasurable asset to the NBA. He is making history! He has the ability to get everything and should not have everything destroyed by illegal means!"
Before the start of G4 between the Bulls and Pistons, the Bulls had made plans to play tacitly.
But they still used pre-game interviews and Tyson Chandler's injury to put pressure on the Pistons through the media.
Scott Scales' acting skills are pretty good, and he behaves extremely angry in front of the media, as if Tyson Chandler was dethroned by the Pistons players.
The media reporters at the scene brightened up and were refreshed when they heard Scott Scales say this.
Although this isn't big news, it does create some buzz.
As the All-Star vote leader, regular season MVP, and the boss of a 73-win team, Duane has received a lot of attention from both fans and the media.
As long as anything is related to Du En, it will definitely attract the attention of a large number of viewers.
After last summer's labor negotiations, people who follow the NBA can clearly feel that the main theme of the league will definitely encourage offense.
The Pistons, a strong defense-focused team, inherently walk within the realm of legality and illegality.
Once the league wants to weaken the influence of strong defensive teams like the Pistons, as long as the whistle is biased, the Pistons and other teams will suffer disaster.
Of course, the playoffs already have strong rules to enhance confrontation and encourage defense.
Now during the playoffs, the league can at most give Duane some convenience, and will not directly destroy the Pistons just because a Bulls player is injured.
However, for the Bulls, if they can take advantage of today's events, Duane can get some convenience on the whistle.
Maybe it will help the Bulls advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, advance to the Finals, and even win the championship.
Even if Duen himself has some star whistles, and even if Duen's offensive ability does not lack free throws to enhance his scoring data, who wouldn't want to take advantage of him?
And once Du En has more whistle protection, no team will dare to attack Du En wantonly.
At that time, Du En can also use the rules to help the team gain more convenience, so that it will be easier to get the championship trophy and FMVP trophy.
Closer to home, in order to let things ferment and let the bullets fly for a while, the Bulls followed the plan and reduced the playing time of the main players and played a tacit game.
This move will invisibly put pressure on the alliance.
If you don't care, then we'll play away games.
The Pistons still make the majority of the ticket revenue, but the ratings are closely related to the league's first place.
Not to mention, the Bulls entered the playoffs with 73 wins, and they were supposed to be able to sweep through all the monsters and monsters along the way.
If the Pistons are unable to advance to the next round of playoffs because the main players are eliminated through dirty tricks, then something really big will happen.
As the Bulls' main force clocked out for two and a half quarters, and then lost to the Pistons by a huge margin of 23 points, league officials were also put on fire by the Bulls afterwards and had to deal with questions from some media reporters.
Of course, some media also accused the Bulls of poor attitude during the game and sorry for the fans, which led to the situation of Geneva refunding money.
However, compared to G1 and G2, the ticket prices for G5 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals have risen sharply after the defeat in G4.
Chicago fans know how to enjoy it, knowing that the next G5 must be a real battle of revenge!
The league also knows that it must cooperate with the Bulls to perform this show well.
So from the start of the G5 game, the whistle was obviously biased towards the Bulls.
The Pistons were restricted by the whistle and did not dare to make defensive moves. Under the protection of the "home whistle", the Bulls played at the level expected of a 73-win team.
This aspect of Duan alone made the fans at the scene and fans across the United States feel very happy.
As early as the first quarter, Duan, who was full of firepower, scored 16 points by himself, 4 of which came from free throws.
However, because he exerted too much effort in the first quarter, Du En did not burst out with all his strength as usual in the second quarter.
It is worth mentioning that the Pistons have a bit of PTSD. In order to prevent Duan from traveling during off-peak hours, Larry Brown was sent by Prince.
Larry Brown saw that Duan had not taken the ball for more than three minutes in the second quarter and was worried about Duan's plan, so he quickly replaced Double Wallace.
Seeing this, Du En played into his game and pretended to drop low to get the ball. In fact, he faked a shot to attract defense from his teammates and continued to smoke in the bottom corner.
The Pistons didn't know when Duen would take action, so they could only be nervous every round.
Duen was waiting for work on the court, but instead put more energy on the defensive end.
Except for scoring 4 points during the transition period, there was no other initiative.
It wasn't until there were more than 4 minutes left in the second quarter that Roaring Heavenly Lord went to rest first, and Du En was able to be himself and perform exactly like his performance in the first quarter.
Ben couldn't guard Duen in the first place, let alone that Duen couldn't be touched tonight. He had to stand on the free throw line if he touched body hair.
Duan's hand skills are quite good, and he can often score two plus one when he drives to the basket.
Because the number of fouls accumulated relatively quickly, Ben had to leave the game early to rest.
In order to establish more advantages, Duan chose to play the entire second quarter.
So in the last two minutes of the second quarter, Duan quickly accumulated points.
After the first half, Duen has scored 33 points. If this continues, it is really possible to have a crazy performance of 60+ tonight!
However, in the second half, the Pistons players felt disgusted by the referee, so they vented their anger on Dunn, a star who was favored by the referee.
Since we can't win, we can only disgust Du En!
Under Larry Brown's arrangement, the Pistons adopted a one-man-four-team and three-man double-team strategy to try every means to limit Duane's scoring.
Upon seeing this, Du En asked his teammates to play first, but the Bulls players hoped that Du En could score more points and tried to use the scoring data to create big news.
Duane adopted the suggestions of his teammates and wanted to score 58 points in a single game in the playoffs.
However, in the case of three-person double-teaming, the scoring efficiency is indeed not high with strong breakthroughs and strong shots.
And when shot under a lot of double-teams, Du En suffered a lot of physical confrontations.
In order to avoid accidents such as injuries, Du En quickly calmed down.
In order to get better scoring opportunities, Duan played more than 5 minutes in the third quarter and stayed off the court with the help of a timeout.
He waited until the last 4 minutes to come back on the court. Although the rest time was not long, Prince on the Pistons came off the court to rest.
Duen doesn't have a long-armed opponent like Prince to interfere with him, so he can just pull up from the outside without having to play a pick-and-roll.
One-on-one on the outside, and three-man defense on the inside.
The shooting percentage of the former is naturally higher than that of the latter, not to mention that the efficiency of scoring three-pointers is not low.
However, Du En failed to score 58 points in the end, because Roaring Heavenly Lord fell while fighting for a rebound, and was injured and was carried off.
The Pistons couldn't win the championship this season because they couldn't beat the Bulls, and their morale was weakened.
Now that teammates are injured, there is even less time to play.
It is precisely because of this that after more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown took the initiative to withdraw the main players and surrendered.
The Bulls didn't give face to the Bulls in the last game, so Larry Brown naturally won't give the Bulls and Duan face in this game.
Duan, who was clocked out for three and a half quarters, was forced to end the game with 48 points.
"Du En, congratulations to you. Next, with my hope, go and win the trophy that belongs to you!"
The Bulls swept the Pistons 4-1, and Billups, as the main force of the Pistons, still maintains a good relationship with Duan.
"Are you anxious to go back tonight? If not, why don't you wait until tomorrow? The team will hold a regular season MVP celebration for me tomorrow!"
Because of the previous tip-off, Dunn naturally recognized Billups as a good brother.
Not long ago, Dunn received the news that he would win the regular season MVP again, so he took the opportunity to retain Billups.
If you can defeat the Pistons and explode the pieces of Billups, then you might as well give it a try.
By the way, the regular season MVP is usually announced before the second game of the playoffs.
This year, the announcement was postponed until after the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bulls and Pistons. That was naturally a deliberate arrangement.
In fact, as early as the Bulls ended the regular season with 73 wins, there was no suspense about the regular season MVP. It must be Duan.
In order to match the regular season MVP with Duen and to create a gimmick, the league specially arranged this time.
