Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

"Hahahaha, it's so easy.

Before the game started, I thought my body was going to fall apart from that guy Shaq.

Unexpectedly, everyone defended so well and Shaq couldn't get the ball at all.

The teams I was on before were always strong defensive teams, but now I realize how big the gap is between them and the championship teams.

It's an honor to play with you all!
I think this is the winning culture that I have been pursuing but have never experienced! "

More than seven minutes into the first quarter, when Garnett returned to the bench during a timeout, he grinned and started yelling.

Garnett has always played the fourth position. Now that he comes to the Bulls to play the fifth position, he still has some concerns.

Especially in the first regular season game of the new season, the opponent is a heavyweight player like O'Neal!

In this situation, Duncan would also have a headache, let alone Garnett.

However, so far in the first quarter, O'Neal has only gotten the ball once and then looked for Garnett.

And even this time, Josh Smith let go of James Posey and cooperated with Garnett to double-team O'Neal.

In the end, although O'Neal relied on his personal ability to score the ball, Garnett did not feel much defensive pressure and did not consume much physical energy.

In addition, the Bulls' perimeter defense is quite good. Even if Ben Gordon may be named, Duane and Luol Deng can solve most problems.

There aren't many places where the Bulls really need Garnett to help defend.

In this way, what Garnett needs to do in the starting lineup is very simple. With Garnett's strength, he can naturally handle it with ease.

And this is why Garnett is particularly happy at the moment.

Originally, getting the maximum salary in the Timberwolves was to be the backbone of the team! In order to win with the Timberwolves, in which game did you not have to use all your skills?
Now that Bulls has come, the working environment has been greatly improved, and there is a lot less work to do.

Fortunately, the salary will still be paid, and there is considerable hope for the championship that has been coveted for a long time.

This has to make Garnett feel happy.

Replace Milicic?
Very happy!

As a master of fighting and retreating, Garnett will not bring trouble to himself.

Garnett would be happy to play more time against others, but he was facing O'Neal, and Garnett was very willing to sit on the bench for a while.

"Dunn, do you want to continue?"

The timeout was about to end, and Garnett didn't hear Scott Scales' arrangement for Duane.

As for the defender, John Salmons has temporarily replaced Ben Gordon.

Out of curiosity, Garnett took the initiative to ask Duan.

"I will lead everyone to fight for a while, and then let Ben and Rohr lead the team."

In just eight preseason games, the Bulls have not yet formulated a reasonable rotation.

In non-important games, Duen cannot always bring substitutes.

If you keep beating me like this, you will be discovered by the gangsters, and you will travel during off-peak hours to refresh your data.

However, considering that Ben Gordon has mentioned starting this season, it is impossible for him to be a false starter and lead the substitutes all the time.

In addition, there is John Salmons on the bench who needs a lot of ball rights.

Scott Skiles is currently trying to figure out how to stagger these two as far as possible, and then determine a new rotation plan as soon as possible. Since tonight we are playing against a championship team like the Celtics, in order to win tonight, Dunn, as the team boss, has to work a little harder.

Therefore, when he was supposed to be on the bench, Du En was still leading the team.

After the timeout ended and the game resumed, even though O'Neal was no longer on the court, the Bulls were still playing defensive counterattack, focusing on speed.

The Celtics were forced to give up some offensive rebounds in order to avoid being counterattacked by the Bulls.

However, the Bulls are not worried about positional warfare.

In order to cultivate John Salmons, and also to allow Grant Hill to integrate into the team more quickly, Doan played without the ball and attracted defenses in the low post.

Then John Salmons and Grant Hill continued to score points with the ball. If they had the chance, they would go directly to the basket.

The Celtics' defense was not very good to begin with, and some substitute players were replaced at this time, and the quality of defense was even worse.

And because the Bulls still have Duane in the low post to attract defense, the Bulls still start from the outside at this time, which dazzles the Celtic players on the court even more.

It is precisely because of this that fans across the United States originally thought that tonight's opening game, the battle between the two giants, the Bulls and the Celtics, would most likely be evenly matched.

However, the Bulls revealed the Celtics' old bottom line as soon as they came up. They completely overwhelmed the Celtics on both ends of the offense and defense, and opened the point difference to more than double digits as early as the first quarter.

Although there are some problems with the Bulls' cooperation, without many changes in the main lineup, it is undoubtedly much easier for the Bulls to win than the Celtics.

Even the two leading players, Duane and Garnett, did not need to put in much effort. Under the charge of Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, and John Salmons, the game was over. Flowered quickly.

95 to 121, the Bulls' main force clocked out for three and a half quarters, and with a huge advantage of 26 points, they defeated the Celtics, led by the Big Three of O'Neal, Pierce, and Ray Allen.

It has to be said that after this opening game, the Bulls have shown a lot to the entire league.

Produced by Bull, it must be a high-quality product!
The Bulls' rookie bonus period isn't completely over yet!
Even if Duan renews his contract with the Bulls with a maximum salary, the Bulls still have several rookies who can make contributions to the Bulls that far exceed their salary.

After showing the strength of the rookies and the background of the defending champion, the Bulls also hide a lot of energy belonging to the veterans.

"I am very satisfied with my performance tonight, and I am also very grateful to my teammates for their efforts! It turns out that I could win with only 8 points!"

In the post-game interview, Garnett happily showed off to reporters.

That's right, it's about showing off, not being silent and sullen.

Garnett served as the Bulls' starting center tonight and only played 23 minutes.

This is also the reason why Garnett, as the team's second leader, only scored 8 points.

If the playing time is 10 more minutes, no matter how poor Garnett's scoring ability is, there is still no problem in scoring three or four points. At least scoring in double figures is easy to achieve.

Of course, Garnett didn't have a particularly strong desire to take action tonight, mainly because the Bulls' young players played really well, and they really need data.

Garnett is experienced and knows how to win over people and manage the locker room well.

Therefore, Garnett, who has just arrived, can still make some sacrifices in other aspects, except that he cannot give up his second-in-command position and the starting position of the team.

Seeing the young people in the Bulls playing so well and the veterans actively integrating, Garnett has more expectations for the honors he will receive this season.

"All-star starting lineup, All-NBA team, DPOY, championship, I want them all!"

Obviously, after playing his first regular season game, Garnett was already delighted.

After knowing that more people in this team need the ball, Garnett is also willing to invest his physical strength and energy on the defensive end to become the Bulls' iron wall. (End of chapter)
