Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 299

"stand up……"

"stand up……"

"stand up……"

Standing on the medal podium, watching the national flag slowly rising, the prelude of the national anthem rang in my ears. The men's basketball team sang loudly one after another, each one more proud and louder than the last.

This can't help but remind Du En of the time when he was studying and doing exercises as a child. At that time, a large group of people were competing to see who could sing louder and more emotionally.

It's just that I didn't realize the significance of doing this at first.

Now we know that one minute on stage can take ten years of hard work off stage.

After playing basketball for so many years, singing the national anthem for so many years, and returning to China to play in the past few years, all the hard work and sweat I have put in have led to this moment.

"Refreshing!" An indescribable feeling of joy and accomplishment quickly emerged from his heart, and then penetrated his whole body, making Du En feel extremely comfortable.

Until the national anthem background music ended and the national flag was raised to the top, Duan was still immersed in it.

However, at this moment, the long-lost system prompt sounded in Du En's ears.

[Congratulations on winning the gold medal in the men's basketball event at the 2008 Imperial City Olympics. You achieved the Olympic gold medal achievement and won an Olympic gold medal player template lottery opportunity. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】

[Congratulations on winning the scoring title of the 2008 Olympic Games with an average of 31 points per game in the 2008 Imperial City Olympics. You achieved the achievement of the Olympic scoring champion and received a lottery opportunity for the Olympic scoring champion player template. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】

Now Duan's attributes have been basically maxed out, and the strength of international players is often not as good as the top NBA stars.

As early as two years ago at the World Championships, Doon had already obtained the player template of Oscar Schmidt, the top international player star.

Du En has nothing to look forward to with the two lottery opportunities he has now received.

Of course, no matter what, it's better than nothing.

However, Du En is not in a hurry to draw the lottery now, but is in a hurry to find a camera and a reporter for an interview.

He has already won the Olympic gold medal, but he has to let Duen show off, right?

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night. Du En's performance in this Olympic Games can really be described as "bringing glory to his ancestors and his family name."

In the past, the men's basketball scoring champion averaged more than 31 points per game, which was already impressive. In this Olympics, Duan averaged points per game.

Yao Ming, who averaged 20.7 points per game in the last Olympics, only averaged 14.5 points per game this time around, not even half of Duen's.

The combined scores of Du En and Yao Ming exceeded the combined scores of the other ten male basketball players...

"Du En, may I ask how you feel at this moment?"

After stepping off the podium, Du En quickly found the reporter, and the reporter also found Du En.

"The mood is very good!

Being able to represent my country and win in the Olympics is more meaningful than winning a championship in the NBA.

For me personally, this is also a way to realize the value of life.

Now I am in such a good mood that I can eat a roast suckling pig!

The competition is over, I finally no longer have to strictly control my diet, and I can rest for a while.

I’m dissatisfied with you for saying that training and playing games are really tiring!

Moreover, I am under a lot of pressure during this Olympics!

However, getting the gold medal made it all worth it. "

One thing to say, Du En is indeed very tired during this Olympics.

The whole person is like an ascetic, either practicing in the arena or sleeping in the hotel.

Unlike other Olympic athletes, they have more or less time to enjoy food and hunt for prey.

Before moving into the Olympic Games, Du En also received ten free small balloons, but in the past half month, he has not used any of them.

To be honest, it is somewhat regrettable.

But it's over, it's all over.

If there is a chance, maybe I can try it next time in the Olympics.

With Du En's current reputation, it would be no problem to find a few athletes of the opposite sex to train with...

[Congratulations on getting the Manu Ginobili template! 】

[Congratulations on getting the Dirk Nowitzki template! 】

It's been some time since the Olympics ended. By mid-September, Duan had finished paying homage to his ancestors, had taken a vacation, and was preparing to go to Chicago, so he used the two lottery opportunities he got from the Olympics.

It's not bad luck, it's not bad luck, at least it's not a useless FBA star, but even Ginobili and Nowitzki can provide extremely limited help to the current Duan.

Of course, Du En looked down on the system's insignificant help.

But as in previous years, as a professional basketball player, even if he plays in a commercial league like the NBA, Duen will actively train and prepare before the preseason.

After all, Duan is the star of the Bulls, and most of the fans enter the arena to watch the game because of Duan.

If Duan is not active in training and is in poor condition at the beginning of the game, then who will be responsible for the team's record?

Besides, Du En has won three consecutive championships, three consecutive FMVPs, and just won the Olympic gold medal. There are not many honors that he can pursue in his career.

Now that Duen has returned his focus to the NBA, this season he also wants to try to win four consecutive championships.

After all, Duane heard about it before he came back, and Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf did not give up on the idea of ​​continuing to win the championship just because the team's salary space increased by nearly 30 million this season.

In order to compete for four consecutive championships, this summer the Bulls have completed multi-million-level maximum salary extensions with Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, and Josh Smith.

At the same time, after lengthy negotiations, they reached an agreement with Garnett and his agent, and completed the contract extension with a four-year maximum salary contract of 4 million.

Garnett may also feel that the atmosphere in the Chicago team is good and he feels more comfortable playing in Chicago, so he chose to take a salary cut, which resulted in a loss of more than 10 million per year.

Although Garnett's salary cut cannot help the Bulls free up salary space for further reinforcement, it at least allows the Bulls to pay a lot less luxury tax.

Of course, in the next few seasons, the Bulls' total salary of more than 80 million is quite scary.

If there is no way to continue to reach the finals, it may persist for one or two seasons, then it will be disbanded and reorganized, waiting for the next championship window to open, and then re-matching Duen with manpower to fight for the championship.

Generally speaking, before the start of the new season, the goals of the Bulls are consistent.

That is to achieve as many achievements as possible, win more honors, and let the legend of the Chicago Bulls continue. However, after the preseason started, we found that it is not that easy for the Bulls to continue to dominate the league in the new season.

Perhaps because of the defeat of the Dream Team in the Olympic finals, NBA referees' attitude towards Duan changed and became more disgusting and annoying.

Originally, Duan played normally in the preseason. Even if he played in the first half, there should still be some free throws.

However, Duan discovered that, let alone free throws, all penalties imposed on him would always be unfair. Duan would always be the loser, and by the way, other Bulls players would also suffer due to the whistle.

And as time went by, Duen stopped trying to cause harm.

Perhaps this is also an adjustment made for the alliance rulers. In short, Dune was confiscated of the cylinder and was even allowed to defend.

Under a lot of confrontation and aggressive defense, and even physical fouls, Duan's scoring efficiency will naturally be affected and decline to a certain extent.

Fortunately, the regular season has not started yet and this is only the preseason. Duen still has time to figure out how to overcome the problems and difficulties that may arise.

"Let me play without the ball first! One ball is not enough!"

Duan can also see that in the starting lineup, Luol Deng and Josh Smith have received maximum salary contracts, and they need to play with the ball to prove themselves.

And Duane is one of the few players in the Bulls' starting lineup who can play without the ball.

Duan plays without the ball in the new season, which can reduce some physical confrontation and ensure shooting percentage.

However, holding the ball less throughout the season may affect Duane's performance in the playoffs.

"This is the only way to go!"

Scott Skiles had no ability to begin with, and now he couldn't think of any good countermeasures, so he could only respond.

This coming season, the Bulls will definitely be more difficult to beat.

Other teams across the league will compete to challenge the Bulls, the league's ruler, and league officials will also consider the interests of the league as a whole and limit the dominance of the Bulls.

Now Bulls boss Duan is disliked by most referees in the league, and he is very disadvantaged on the whistle.

In the next regular season games, the Bulls can only try their best to rely on their internal unity and overall strength to win one game after another.

Time flies by quickly, and October 10th arrives in a blink of an eye.

The Chicago United Center is where the Bulls once again held the championship ring awarding ceremony and the championship flag raising ceremony.

"Duane, I'm so proud of you!"

Stern's attitude towards Duane did not seem to have changed.

But who knows what the little old Jewish man in front of him is thinking?

Duane doesn't care much about this, nor does he care whether the whistle change will have a completely new impact on his entire career.

The strong stay strong! Duan is confident that he can win most games with his strength.

If it really doesn't work, it doesn't mean that you can't develop them and recruit all the rookies with the best talent in the future to the Bulls.

Without the new stars who are talented enough and skilled enough, Du En will not have any opponents who can threaten him and defeat him in the future.

In fact, there is another way to play, which is to arrange the rookies who can play well in the future to some relatively rubbish teams through trades, so as to raise them to waste.

At the same time, some stars who are slowly improving in the Yubel team can also be traded to the Bulls in advance for reinforcement.

In short, Du En is not worried about not being able to win the championship in the future.

Even if it doesn't work, isn't it possible to take your talents elsewhere and play brotherly basketball?

Closer to home, after receiving the championship ring and hanging a championship flag on the dome of the United Center, the game began quickly.

The Bulls' opponent tonight is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In Dunn's view, Stern's love for James has not changed.

After all, he is the proud son of heaven and the No. 1 pick who was personally arranged. How could Stern watch James become an ordinary star after investing so much money?

Poor performance in the Olympics? The last quarter of the final was abandoned?

Stern directly arranged the opening game for the Cavaliers to face a three-peat dynasty team like the Bulls!

What's going on 23vs24? If you want James to become as famous as Barkley and Malone, just let James meet this new generation of Jordan, Dune!

The first person in the contemporary era must have some opponents, right? The opponent of the first person is not a softie after all, right?

Coupled with the referees that have been arranged, tonight's game becomes very interesting.

However, it's not just Stern who wants to make this game interesting, the Bulls also want to make this game interesting.

Garnett, who had just received the coveted championship ring, became very positive from the beginning of the game.

Because Duan played without the ball, Garnett became the most qualified player on the Bulls court to hold the ball.

Garnett, who has long since recovered from his injury, is no longer the dispensable master who fought and retreated in the finals, but has returned to a 20+10 offensive and defensive iron-blooded special.

Under the active leadership of Garnett, the Bulls took an 11-point lead early in the first quarter. The Cavaliers, who were far inferior to the Bulls, were beaten to a loss.

At the beginning of the second quarter, because there were two ball-handling points in the starting lineup, Ben Gordon and Garnett, Luol Deng, who did not hold the ball much, also began to do the work that Dern usually does.

Duen sat quietly off the court, watching the outstanding performance of his teammates, and did not return to the court until more than four minutes in the second quarter.

If his teammates perform well enough, this season may become Duan's easiest season.

Although Du En's personal data will inevitably decline as a result, Du En is still happy to do less work while his salary remains unchanged.

"This season, maybe we can play the triangle offense!"

Watching rookies like Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, and Milicic grow up, Dunn gradually realized the correct way to play in the new season.

The Bulls are now more competitive than in previous years, and the triangle offense can bring out the team's overall strength.

And because there are enough people who can play, even if someone fails, someone else can take over.

In this way, the Bulls can rely on hard power to overturn the entire league without having to look at the faces of their opponents and referees.

Of course, it's only the opening game now, and it's still unknown whether what Duane thinks is consistent with the thoughts of other Bulls players.

Du En just hopes that the team's existing resources can be fully mobilized and used well, so that the team's young main players can perform better, and at the same time, the team's strength can be further unleashed, instead of standing still. Or get squeezed by referees and the league.

92 to 105, won the opening game!

The referee can limit Duane's scoring, but he cannot limit the Bulls' scoring.

The Bulls in the new season are still the league's rulers, and the Bulls have a chance to win the championship in a different way.
