On January 11, the Bulls played against the Nets.Wang Jun and Lewis had poor hands, trailing by 11 points in the final quarter, and Kidd hit a triple-double of 23 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists to blow up Hinrich.Even so, the Bulls completed the comeback.David Lee finished the Nets' starting power forward, Mickey Moore, scoring 12 points in the final quarter.Dujon also hit four three-pointers and played better than Hinrich in this game.There are too many people playing in the Bulls, and there are always a few people who play well in each game who can turn into "thighs".On the other hand, the Nets, after Kostic's injury, they didn't even have a big forward who could handle it, and the interior line was all blue-collar.After this game, David Lee, who scored 34 points and 15 rebounds, was said by fans to be the real thigh of the Bulls.He is averaging only 27 minutes per game and is currently close to a double-double with 117 points, 92 rebounds and 17 assists.David Lee is a popular candidate for the best sixth man, and his stats are not only beautiful, but also efficient.It's just that the Suns' Barbosa is more fierce this season, averaging 18 points and 4 assists per game, and he has to continue to work hard if he wants to win the award.On the 13th, the Bulls slaughtered the Grizzlies by 47 points at home, becoming the team with the most tragedies this season.Pau Gasol had just returned and had a poor hand, shooting 4-of-14 from the field and finishing with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists from the free throw line.Rudy Gay was killed by Lore Deng, shooting 0-of-7 and scoring only 2 points from the free throw line.Wang Jun played 27 minutes before resting, 8 of 10 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 24 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, and taught Grizzlies second leader McMiller to be a man every minute.Miller's speed was too slow, and he couldn't defend Wang Jun one-on-one, and his own offense was okay, scoring 13 points.The Grizzlies have a pack of Wang Jun, and the rest of the Bulls can always score easily.On the 15th, the Bulls defeated the Spurs at home.Chandler did a good job defending Duncan, and Lewis won't be a defensive weakness against Oberto.On the offensive end, the Bulls bloomed more and couldn't defend themselves.When Lore Deng, Hinrich, and David Lee all found their crosshairs, the Bulls were invincible.Unfortunately, Lewis was injured by Finley while rushing for a frontcourt rebound, and he sprained his shoulder after the game and is expected to miss four to five weeks.Just when people thought that the Bulls would decline due to Lewis' absence, Chris Webber and Eddie Jones announced their joining.On the 17th, the Bulls defeated the Bucks away, and Eddie Jones entered the starting lineup in his first appearance for the team, playing small forward.David Lee returned to the No. 4 position to start, and the other three remained the same.The Bulls started with three three-point shooting points, as well as the interior that could block and pick up high-post shots, and the offense was still sharp.The substitutes Webb, Amunderson, Lore Deng, Barnes and Dujon were both offensive and defensive.Skels was bold in his use of personnel, preferring to let Armondson play for a while in the second quarter, and if there was a strong interior that needed to be resisted, let Malik play.Amunderson has average strength in his lower body and is a little less resistant to people, but he is fast, very brave, full of passion for changing defenses, roaring and rushing at the opposing guard, even if he can't cover the shot, he can scare the opponent.Amunderson and Webber complement each other well, with Webber playing as a center and only responsible for defending the basket, controlling the rebound, and launching counterattacks with a pass.He doesn't have to drag his stumbling body that has been injured countless times to try to change guards, the outer four will do it.Webb's mid-range shooting ability is still there, and the playful pass is not comparable to Sangeira's, and he makes the ball run better.In the home win over the Jazz on the 20th, Webb came off the bench for 18 minutes, shooting 6-of-8 and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.Webb's efficiency has made many teams that lack interior line look red.It's just that the Bulls' bench interior line is so fierce, how can others play Jazz has risen strongly this season, Boozer, Oku, and Delon have a tacit understanding of blocking and dismantling, and the two big men can pull away and shoot.Substitutes Kirilenko, Fisher, Haplin, Millsap can also guarantee the attack.However, the Jazz are still a little worse defensively.Wang Jun was able to break down their defence with ease, as they lacked a good number two.Girisek has not been able to satisfy Sloan, and rookie Ronnie Brewer is strong enough and average in speed, and his shooting is slow.Letting DeLong play the No. 2 position will ensure the attack, and he will be shorter.Delong's defense of the ordinary No. 2 position is okay, but he can't prevent Wang Jun.On Jan. 22, the Bulls continued to win, beating the Pacers 127-88 on the road.The Pacers, one of the powerhouses in the East, collapsed, and manager Larry Bird made a rare "Lei Feng".The Bulls are getting stronger and stronger, and teams that want to compete for a championship are trading in hopes of strengthening the roster, so the Pacers and Warriors have completed a big trade involving eight players.The Warriors sent Troy Murphy, McDonleavy, backup forward Ikodiogu and backup guard Keith McLeaud to the Pacers; The Pacers' Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson, Jasco Vitius and backup power forward Josh Powell arrived in Golden State.Bird is still full of confidence after the trade."
I think we made a beautiful, big deal that benefited both teams.It's good for both teams and I think the new players we get can bring a lot of new things to the team. ”The Pacers had lost to three-pointers in previous seasons, and Bird thought that finding two three-pointers would make the team stronger, but that wasn't the case at all.In their first game for the team, the Pacers were slaughtered by the Bulls at home.After Nelson Sr. joined the Warriors, Murphy often sat on the cold bench because he was not good at defense, whether it was a single defense or a help defense, he was terrible, and his only specialty was to pull up to the outside and shoot three-pointers.McDonleavy, the son of Clippers coach Dunleavy, entered the NBA in 2002 and averaged 114 points and 48 rebounds per game this season, and is also a big man who is good at shooting three-pointers., weighing 100 kg, white players have average speed, poor confrontation in the No. 4 position, and poor mobility in the No. 3 position.The Pacers are a team that wins on defense, and the balance was shattered after the trade.On the surface, it seems that the interior can open up space, and Murphy and O'Neal Jr. can both shoot, but when Murphy actually plays, there will be serious problems with the interior defense.In contrast, the Warriors have gotten more quality players.Al Harrington is 206 tall and can play multiple positions in the frontcourt and shoot three-pointers.He is strong in attack and weak in defense, and his style of play in positional battles is too simple, which is why Bird chose to trade.Harrington, on the other hand, has an advantage in speed and is good at counter-attacking, and the Warriors are more suited to his technical characteristics.Stephen Jackson averaged 141 points, 26 rebounds and 31 assists per game, and he was able to improve the Warriors' perimeter defense.Jackson was traded for his troubles off the court, befriending members of the mafia and being indicted in October for firing a gun.Two weeks ago, Pacers star O'Neal Jr. revealed his dissatisfaction with the team, asking the team to make changes or send him away, and Bird took the first suggestion, he chose the wrong one.The Pistons were eliminated by the Bulls last season, and now the roster is weaker and more difficult to win.The Pacers lost defensive intensity, and Artest and Dunleavy overlapped.The Wizards and the Heat have terrible defense, and the only thing left in the East is the Cavaliers who can create a little threat to the Bulls.This season, the Bulls will surely break the regular season record.s:
