Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

"If you want to go further and play in the NBA, you still have to practice your basic skills well.

High-intensity competition requires not only stronger physique, but also more solid skills.

As long as you can overcome the technical and physical problems, I believe you still have a chance to play a rotation in the NBA.

In the CBA, you can earn at most 200 million dollars a year, but in the NBA, you can earn at least a million dollars a year..."

After playing in the World Championships, Duan is also preparing to leave for Chicago to prepare for the new season.

After playing with a group of CBA players, Duen expressed that he cherishes his former NBA teammates even more.

Of course, Duane hopes to have more NBA teammates in the men's basketball team in the future.

Therefore, before leaving, I gave a few more suggestions to my men’s basketball teammates, hoping they would listen.

Before coming to the World Championships, Du En thought one-sidedly that teammates like Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue who would enter the NBA in the future were his helpers.

After playing this world championship, Du En still has a lot of changes in this regard.

Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu obviously brought more help to Du En and Yao Ming than Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yuelai.

Although Wang Shipeng did not average double figures due to ball possession issues, his scoring data was second only to Du En and Yao Ming thanks to three-pointers and air cuts.

And Zhu Fangyu not only has three-pointers but also defense. If he is trained well and his basic skills are further strengthened, he will become an excellent 3D player.

Besides, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu are no different from Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, and they have just become part of the men's basketball team.

It's just that the physical talent is worse, but the basic skills are better.

The NBA is about to enter the small ball era, which means that before the small ball era comes, the NBA will also be short of pitchers. Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu have a chance to find jobs in the NBA.

In fact, Zhu Fangyu, who smoked and drank irregularly, also received an NBA contract during his peak period.

If he can step out of his comfort zone and play in the NBA for a while, Zhu Fangyu will definitely become stronger.

For Duen, it is difficult to improve his personal strength. Only when his teammates become stronger can the men's basketball team go further.

After all, basketball is a team sport, and no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit.

This is true even in the NBA where superstar basketball is prevalent.

You see, Curry is getting stronger and playing at an MVP level. However, he is dragged down by his teammates and has no helpers around him. Even if he is exhausted, it is still difficult to prevent defeat.

Therefore, winning is definitely not a matter of one person.

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and the boss of the men's basketball team alone can only guarantee the lower limit of the men's basketball team and achieve leadership goals, but they cannot meet the expectations of the fans.

Real strength is the strength of the collective, and then at a specific period a heroic figure who can determine victory or defeat appears, ascends the throne, and is crowned king.

……

"John, is there any chance we can get Darko Milicic?"

Before getting on the plane, Dunn made a call to Bulls general manager John Paxson and made it clear that John Paxson was traded for Milicic.

It is difficult for championship teams to make trades. What the general manager can do is to retain the championship lineup and then contact veterans who are interested in winning the championship in the free market.

There are no big fish on the free market this summer. Yao Ming, Stoudemire, and Prince, all the emerging rookies from the 02 class, have already signed contracts with their home teams in advance.

Apart from Ben, Peja and Madman, there are not many veteran stars left.

The Bulls first contacted Ben and Peja, but both wanted a big contract and the guarantee of starting the team.

For this reason, the Bulls' reinforcement goal can only be to find rookies, continue to expand the Bulls' youth army, and reap the rookie dividends.

At Dunn's suggestion, John Paxson passed up John Salmons for 5 million in five years.

John Salmons previously played for his hometown team the Philadelphia 76ers, but because of Iverson and Iguodala, John Salmons has never been reused by the team.

In fact, John Salmons is considered a hidden gem of the 02 class.

As a tall defender, the advantages brought by his physical talent allow him to shoot without interference and defend a wider and more disruptive single defense against defenders.

And because he has certain organizational skills, he can be said to be good at sudden shooting and passing.

As long as you have a good touch, you can be like JR Smith, killing gods when God blocks, and killing Buddha when Buddha blocks.

At his peak, he averaged 18 points per game and shot 41% from three-point range. Although his scoring ability has declined in the playoffs, the Bulls do not need him to be a starter, as long as he can lead a good bench lineup with Ben Gordon.After acquiring John Salmons, the Bulls also have an insurance on the back line. Even if Baron Davis or Ben Gordon is injured, there will be someone who can fill in.

The forward line has always been the Bulls' advantage. John Paxson needs to have a headache in the next two years, how to choose Luol Deng, Josh Smith, Boris Diaw, Andres Nocioni, and They sign new contracts.

Therefore, after expanding the back line this summer, the only thing that needs attention is the inside line.

During his participation in the World Championships, Duane noticed Milicic's outstanding performance-averaging 16.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.

A proud man who spent three years in the NBA and had his heart broken by the bullying of Larry Brown could actually produce such data just by relying on talent and resting on his laurels.

In fact, if nothing else, just looking at the 2.8 blocks per game, you can see how outstanding Milicic's talent is.

It is worth mentioning that after Milicic played with the Pistons for two and a half years, he was traded to the Magic by the Pistons.

Now the Magic has established Howard's status as the boss, and Howard has the ability to be the starting center of the Dream Seven Team in the World Championships.

Howard himself is not willing to be a blue-collar player, but hopes to score more points.

As a result, Milicic's role in the Magic next season will be very limited. At most, he will continue to clock in to work in a depressed manner, grab a few rebounds, and block a few shots.

This also means that Milicic's transaction value will be at a record low.

Even if the Bulls are unable to acquire Milicic this summer, there is hope to expand the reserves of the Bulls' youth army through transactions in the following regular season.

"If I have a chance, I will take care of him."

After John Paxson understood Duan's idea, he quickly agreed and said he would bring Milicic back to Chicago.

Last year, the Magic used a first-round pick plus Kevin Cato's expiring contract to acquire Milicic and Carlos Arroyo from the Pistons.

Carlos Arroyo once averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game for the Jazz. Based on his strength alone, he can only be considered a qualified starting point guard. However, looking at the contract, it is only 400 million, which makes him more cost-effective. .

Therefore, taking into account Milicic's transaction value, it is only one or two first-round picks.

And because Milicic's contract is about to expire and Howard needs the ball to score, Milicic's trade value will undoubtedly become even lower.

Therefore, John Paxson directly stated that he could handle Milicic.

Under normal circumstances, after a little talk with the Magic, the Bulls' worthless first-round pick, one or two second-round picks, and some cash can almost get Milicic.

In this way, the Bulls' lineup for the new season will not only maintain their original competitiveness, but also continue to remain young, energetic, and have more possibilities.

Because Kukoc is preparing to retire, and the contracts of Janello Pago, Jon Barry and others have expired, there are still some personnel losses in the Bulls lineup.

But it doesn't matter, the Bulls still maintain the main lineup of last season in the new season.

Coupled with the reinforcements of John Salmons and Milicic, the main lineup has been determined before the start of the new season training camp.

Starting Baron Davis, Duane, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, Tyson Chandler.

Substitutes Ben Gordon, John Salmons, Andres Nocioni, Burris Diaw, Clifford Robinson, Mickey Moore, Milicic.

There are three regular season rosters left, mainly to see if there are any veterans who were waived by Alan Houston in the middle of the season.

Time flies quickly. After the training camp restarted for the new season, the Bulls ended the preseason with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.

The championship brings honor to the players, but it also makes some players feel complacent and no longer work as hard as before.

But most black players have this kind of personality.

And he is still young. Even if he doesn't practice much in the summer, he can still complete most of the offense and defense just by relying on his body.

Besides, there’s still a new season to come!
The overall strength of the Bulls is very strong. Even if the players on the team all have Thompson's personality, it will not be a big problem if it takes two months to get back in touch during the regular season.

As the saying goes, if you have wine today, you will get drunk today.

Regardless of anything else, receiving the ring before the opening game of the new season is the top priority!
On October 10, at the United Center in Chicago, the NBA 31-06 season began slowly.

Tonight's opponent of the defending champion Chicago Bulls is last year's champion Miami Heat.

The 03 Platinum Generation, the only two players to win FMVP, will also compete again on this stage tonight.

Of course, before the opening game starts, it's time for the Chicago Bulls.

As the seventh championship flag was raised over the United Center, Duan also had a championship ring on his finger. (End of chapter)
