Chapter 249 Public enemy of the alliance, competition within the team

The defending champion Bulls won the opening game, and Doan scored a triple-double in the opening game.

In the past, these topics would have made headlines.

However, the Bulls just won 73 games last season, and Duane also won the FMVP.

Outside fans' views of Duane and the Bulls are obviously different from other stars and other teams.

Therefore, after the opening game between the Bulls and the Heat, almost all media were praising Wade as the loser.

Although Wade lost, he still did not give up and continued to fight against powerful opponents like the 73-win Bulls even as the championship lineup aged and became weaker.

Instead, he fought tooth and nail, carried the team forward alone, and even played the best performance of his career.

There is no doubt that the Bulls have become the public enemy of the league in the new season, and Bulls boss Dunn has become the devil in everyone's mind.

And Wade, who knew that there were tigers in the mountains and chose to go to the tiger mountains, became a warrior who sacrificed his life for righteousness in people's minds.

It's also Duane and Wade who are such a pair of devils and warriors. They are both in the Eastern Conference and both were rookies in the 03 class.

Some basketball commentators have already begun to predict that the next league will soon become a strong in the east and weak in the west.

After all, the 03 Platinum Generation, in addition to Duane and Wade, also has many talented rookies.

Seeing James, Anthony, Bosh, and the following generation of Howard, this group of young players also began to make a name for themselves in the league.

And these stars are concentrated in the East.

It can be seen that in the next few years, the talented Eastern Conference will become more competitive.

Wade and Dunn have already won the championship and FMVP at a young age, which has also given many people the illusion that the 03 Platinum Generation has replaced the 96 Golden Generation.

In fact, the 96 golden generation are generally around 30 years old now, at the peak of their spring and autumn period.

Normally, there is still three to five years left to compete for the championship, but the 03 Platinum Generation, Duane and Wade became famous too early, and both won the highest honor of NBA players early.

Especially Duen, who has even won the regular season MVP for consecutive years. This gives people the feeling that Duen has been playing in the league for a long time and is now 28.

In fact, Du En is only 22 years old, and his peers should have just graduated from college.

The current situation between Duane and the Bulls is somewhat similar to Duncan's situation with the Spurs.

The three major illusions of Texas are that the Rockets are very strong, the Mavericks are very weak, and the Spurs are very old.

The Spurs won the championship early because of the team Duncan, who has played in the league for many years and won multiple championships. It feels like the Spurs' core lineup is very old and no longer useful.

However, what people didn't expect was that Duncan, who is still strong and strong, can perform at the level of a rookie every year and become the forever No. 21 rookie.

Duan's strength has also been established early. Like Duncan, he won the championship, FMVP, and regular season MVP honors early.

Fortunately, the Bulls are a youth team, and there are no bald teammates around Du En. Otherwise, Du En would be mistaken for a little old man.

However, becoming a public enemy of the league means that even if the Bulls are still very strong this season, Duane will have to lose more hair.

The Bulls' schedule at the beginning of the season is actually good, but most of the opponents they encounter want to take a piece of meat from the Bulls.

Duane is unlikely to find the opportunity to easily clock out in three quarters like last season.

The Bulls' main players basically have to play four quarters of the game before they can officially call it a day and go home.

In this way, there are a lot of young players in the Bulls' bench who are desperate for more ball rights, perform better, accumulate more gorgeous statistics, and strive for big contracts, and they have some ideas.

After all, no one can struggle with fame and fortune. Even if they stay well with the Chicago Bulls, the people behind them will worry about them and make suggestions for them.Especially players who are in a contract year!

However, for the time being, the Bulls are relying on their winning streak at the beginning of the season, and there are no major problems in the locker room under the control of Du En.

And due to his excellent team record, Duan was not surprised to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Week in the first week of November.

Du En no longer cares so much about these small honors.

The possibility of Duane being able to win the regular season MVP title this season is very slim, so whether he is the best player of the week or the best player of the month, it doesn't mean much.

At most, it's just to support Du En to win the first team of the best team.

As for the honors of Best of the Week and Best of the Month, Du En has already accumulated a lot and doesn't really care about them anymore.

Just like superstars usually don't care about how many points they accumulate in the regular season, Duan won't think about becoming the best player of the week or the best player in history in more than 20 years.

Now that Duen is here, he naturally knows that the championship is the most important thing.

When your career ends, compare your historical honors with other historical superstars. Once you don't accumulate enough championships, there is no need to talk about other things.

Therefore, Du En has great ambitions. If he can win at least six championships and six FMVPs at his peak, that would naturally be the best.

If not, getting a few more championship rings at the end of your peak or before retirement is another way.

Of course, Dunn could not have predicted the situation more than ten years later.

What Duan can strive for now is to win that damn championship while his rookie bonus period is not over yet and the Bulls' salary structure is still relatively healthy.

However, nothing is always smooth sailing.

On November 11, the Bulls and their team visited Cleveland to play against the Cavaliers.

Although the Bulls, under the leadership of Du En, were 33-20 in the final quarter, they finally came back to win by 5 points.

But in the third quarter of the game, Baron Davis became unwell after a physical confrontation after a breakthrough layup.

The injuries that often occur in defending champion teams have been exposed in the Bulls as early as the beginning of the season.

Considering that Baron Davis himself is a heavy defender, and his playing style is mainly based on breakthroughs and back-up play, it is very physically demanding.

This summer, Baron Davis not only played in the playoffs, but also participated in the World Championships.

Therefore, it is relatively normal to have some minor symptoms at the beginning of the season.

For the Bulls, this is actually not bad news.

There are too many players on the Bulls team who can play, and the ball possessions are not enough.

If Dunn had not made plans in advance to reduce the number of shots and make peace, there would have been some conflicts within the Bulls team in order to fight for the ball.

Now that Baron Davis is injured, it is natural to have a small injury and a big recovery to give other newcomers who want to contribute to the team some opportunities.

Of course, the Bulls have no intention of directly trading Baron Davis, the man who won the championship.

Now that the Bulls' salary structure is very healthy, it's no problem for them to be the second-best player on the bench.

However, when Baron Davis returns from injury, it will be unclear who will be the second in charge.

It can only be said that this year's Bulls have a lot of competition with the outside world, and the competition within the team is also not small.
