Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

After the regular season started, the Bulls played extremely fiercely.

This is not just because before the opening game, the rookies were very excited after receiving their championship rings, so they rushed to perform with full firepower and vent their full fighting spirit.

This is a tactical change that establishes Curry's position as the core of the offense, and the new tactics are suitable for other players.

The Bulls are more like playing another set of team basketball around a new group of players, thus stimulating the fighting spirit of these players.

As more and more players in the Bulls team adapt to the new tactical system, everyone is playing better and better on the court.

At the same time, the Bulls won one game after another.

It's hard for the Bulls' morale not to be high, and it's hard not to be excited for the Bulls' players.

In fact, there is another key point, which is the factor of contract year.

There are too many rookies in the Bulls facing contract year problems!

Green, Middleton, and Crowder, one starter and two main rotation players, all face the issue of contract renewal in the contract year.

And third-year rookies like Gobert, who has already become the starting center, can negotiate with the management to renew his contract in advance after this season.

Considering this season, the Bulls have once again clearly stated their attitude of training rookies without pursuing record.

Green, Gobert and others said that I am also a rookie and I also want to improve.

Stars such as Duane, as well as the Bulls coaching staff, have no reason to prevent these players from getting better.

In addition, the NBA is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

Today is no longer the era of the 1980s and 1990s, when people insisted on one person and one city, fighting on their own and hating each other.

In this era, not only teammates can be brothers, but opponents can also be called brothers.

Therefore, in such an atmosphere, colleagues who spend all day together will naturally have a more friendly relationship.

After all, they are all making money from capitalists, why bother to embarrass their brothers?
When conditions permit, it is normal to help teammates brush up their data.

It's mutual benefit. Everyone is in bad shape sometimes, and only by helping each other can we go further in the NBA.

Some people need data this season, so pass the ball and put the pie where your mouth is.

Then hit the ball they pass into the basket, then help them block the position and let them better protect the rebound.

It is in this mutual help, harmonious and friendly team atmosphere that the Bulls play more cooperatively and have a better understanding.

And those rookies who cannot integrate into the tactics in a short period of time and make frequent mistakes in their on-the-spot performance.

In order to obtain better data, after every game and training, I would go back and watch the tactical videos sent by the coaching staff and work hard in private.

As long as they work hard, no one can stop the players themselves from performing better on the court.

When playing in the NBA, everyone's physical condition is very good, so whether you can play well, attitude and mentality are very important.

My attitude has been corrected, and I am willing to actively train to improve my skills and ensure my physical condition.

And actively learn tactics, actively integrate with other teammates, and be recognized by teammates.

Then, the performance on the court will definitely get better and better.

As the saying goes, basketball doesn’t lie.

The fourth-year Bulls rookies, who dreamed of getting rich and famous, worked hard in the summer and were full of energy on the court, fully demonstrated the effect of their summer training on the court.

And many teams were also "fooled" by the Bulls' behavior of sending away meritorious stars during the off-season.

Everyone thought the Bulls were cheating this season, and even the Bulls management thought the Bulls were cheating. However, the role players disagreed and played more like the main force than the main force.

As for the Bulls starting players, except for Duane and Leonard who are playing healthy basketball, the other three are full of fighting spirit.

Curry wants to run for regular season MVP, Green wants a big contract, Gobert wants a contract and also wants to be an All-Star.

Under the influence of various factors, most of the Bulls' players were in full condition and attitude as soon as they took the field, and their performances on both offense and defense were outstanding.

The Bulls management clearly has no plans to compete for the championship this year, and the Bulls coaching staff's task is only to train the rookies as well as possible. Dunn, the team leader, is even ready to improve the statistics.

However, the Bulls team was out of everyone's control and played more like a championship team than a championship team!
"What the hell is going on? Who can tell me why all the bulls are fighting so hard and fiercely?"

"Is this the strength of the defending champion? After sending away so many stars, is this still the first team in the league?"

"Who said the bull was going to break? The bull hit so hard, I almost wanted to break it!"

"You don't give me any face, right? 20+ points difference at halftime? If you want to finish your work quickly, can't you go down and rest early?"

At the beginning of the season, any team that faced the Bulls would only scream and wail.

Because the Bulls have been playing in the East, the strong teams in the East, except for the Pacers, have basically fallen apart.

These weak teams in the Eastern Conference simply cannot withstand the Bulls' full-power offensive rhythm.

Many times in the first half of the game, the Bulls have been defeated by role players who don't know their importance.

This led to the fact that Duane, who originally planned to play healthy basketball this season and average a triple-double per game, did not meet expectations because he often clocked in three quarters and lacked sufficient playing time and ball rights.

The Bulls' strong performance at the beginning of the season quickly aroused the vigilance of other teams in the league.

They began to study the Bulls' new tactics and tried their best to formulate corresponding strategies.

However, Tyronn Lue is a tactical genius. It is obvious that the team has not fully adjusted the tactics before he suddenly thought of new tactics that can be used as supplements.

In terms of personnel rotation, Tyronn Lue also had some ideas, which resulted in Mike Brown having to cooperate with Tyronn Lue to readjust the defensive configuration.

Tyronn Lue and Mike Brown cooperated with each other on offense and defense, and at the same time experimented with players.

Sometimes the structure is beautiful in the mind, but when the tactics are actually laid out and the players are put on the field to play, they appear very messy.

After the Bulls players came on the court, they not only messed up their own tactics, but also messed up their opponents' tactics.

"Is this how the tactics work? Is it completely different from what the coach told us?"

"Double screen? Cutting? Crouching in the corner? Line up at the free throw line? High pick-and-roll? I'm dizzy!"

Because the Bulls players worked hard enough and were united enough, many times the tactics were obviously wrong, but they just made the wrong move and scored the ball into the basket.

It is also because there are more and more chaotic tactics on the court, but the ball is finally scored. Not only the coaching staff of other teams, but also the ones who study the Bulls' tactics are getting numbed.

Even Mike Brown and Tyronn Lue of the Bulls felt that the recent tactics were a bit complicated and that it was difficult to review the video.

"What was the original tactic like? Screen, cut, hand-to-hand screen, catch and shoot from the corner."

"Yo, just cut for a layup! This kid really knows the ball, and he can also run out of the open space? I'm really impressed!"

"Oh, it turns out that not only the corners will be open, but the mid-range is so empty, you can indeed take one more shot!" After watching the game video, Mike Brown and Tyronn Lue also learned little by little from the game experience and summarized and optimized tactics. , strive to make tactics serve players, rather than players serving tactics.

After all, tactics are dead, and one set of tactics cannot be 100% suitable for all players.

And if the tactics can be combined with the players' personal habits and everyone's strengths together, then it will undoubtedly be able to play a stronger role.

Why can a rookie coach become stronger when there are not many changes in tactics? It is the accumulation of game experience, as well as patience and trust in the players.

Of course, some coaches are naturally slower to react on the spot.

Many times, even coaches with rich experience in the game will not be able to make on-the-spot arrangements because they are obsessed with the authorities.

This requires the coach to arrange most of the work before the game starts, in order to help the team win better.

For the Bulls players, tactics have been constantly adjusted recently, and opponents have also consciously deployed defenses based on some tactics, which has not had much impact on them.

Rookies who want data, contracts, and stable playing time still maintain a high fighting spirit and still try their best on the court.

Even if you are out of shape in one or two games occasionally because the opponent's defense is targeted, you can quickly adjust in the next few games with the help of your teammates.

In this way, the Bulls started the new season with a 9-game winning streak.

Until the Western Devils started their six consecutive away games and faced off against the powerful Western Conference teams that formed a super team.

This was because the intensity of the game suddenly increased, coupled with the exhaustion of traveling on the road, my physical strength could not keep up, and I lost two games.

It is worth mentioning that the Bulls are on par with most of the strong teams in the Western Conference.

As for pseudo-strong teams like the Warriors and Lakers, which are worthless but useless, the Bulls can even win relatively easily.

Perhaps James also didn't expect that Thompson, the marksman he longed for, would become Tie Guanyin at the beginning of the season.

At first, James thought it was because the two of them didn't get along well. After they get along, Thompson will be able to absorb a lot of his passing balls, and his assist data will also be greatly improved by then.

Who would have thought that there are still stars who don't practice in the off-season when their personal strength is on the rise.

Forget about practicing in the preseason and practice in the regular season, which makes James unbearable.

In addition, after Ibaka arrived with the Warriors, he also started a healthy basketball mode and gradually developed in the direction of Bosh.

This makes James doubt that he is still playing on the South Coast.

When playing against the Lakers, the increasingly stubborn Kobe has indeed become an expensive liability for the team.

The Lakers rely on Kobe's commercial value to sell tickets, but Kobe's current inefficient offensive ability and obvious decline in defensive quality after a serious injury have not only failed to help the Lakers win, but have caused chaos for his teammates on the court.

Perhaps Kobe himself cannot accept his own incompetence, so he occasionally loses his temper on the court.

"The road down the mountain is not easy. At the stage when I can still play, it may be wise and happy to choose to retreat bravely."

As a former teammate, Duen did not choose to persuade Kobe.

However, seeing Kobe like this, I also felt a vague sense of sadness that my lips would die and my teeth would be cold, and something would harm its kind.

Sports competitions are so cruel. No matter how full the mental attributes are, no matter how rich the competition experience is, they can't match the physical advantages and can't withstand the ravages of time.

Basketball is like other sports, the competition is nothing more than higher, faster and stronger.

With 4 wins and 2 losses, the Bulls and Western Devils lost to two super teams, the Clippers and Rockets, during their sixth consecutive away trip.

Durant is a super scorer, but if the team wants to win, it needs a top point guard to control the rhythm of the game.

Durant is lucky to have left Westbrook, who has just entered his prime, and gained a teammate like Paul at his peak.

Coupled with Griffin's inside offense, the Clippers relied on three major stars at the beginning of the season and the team's record was quite good.

As for the Rockets, Harden and Butler, two Bulls abandoned players, formed the Avengers in Space City.

If they don't want to be criticized by "we were already championships before you came" and "we will still be championships after you leave", they must do something big in Houston to prove their abilities.

Now the two of them have entered their peak period one after another, and they have been relying on the Rockets for many years to accumulate a large number of potential rookies. Thanks to the youth storm, they are indeed better at playing now.

However, the Bulls' loss to the Rockets was mostly due to exhaustion from traveling on the road and exhaustion of physical strength.

In the next match this season, if nothing goes wrong, the Bulls will have a good chance of regaining their place.

Having said that, after ending the Western Devils' six-game road trip, the Bulls players returned to Chicago and got two days of precious rest time.

The rookies still have no rest and are still using this time to train their skills as much as possible to improve their strength. At the same time, they are also further learning and familiarizing themselves with the tactics adjusted by the coaching staff.

During these two days, the Bulls' coaching staff was not idle either.

Because they lost two games, Mike Brown and Tyronn Lue are also carefully summarizing the experience of losing.

At the same time, we are also considering whether to send some first-year rookies to the Development League.

The current situation of the Bulls is that there are too many people who can play. Even if there is a lot of garbage time, rookies can get some playing opportunities, but it is not very helpful in cultivating rookies.

Nowadays, the relationship between the Development League and the NBA league is closer, and the team can recall the players who have been delegated at any time.

Considering that those energetic rookies want more opportunities to play.

In order to help them upgrade as soon as possible, it is also to give them more ball rights and to allow them to accumulate more game experience.

Let them better understand their own strength and better hone their skills in actual combat.

The Development League is undoubtedly the best choice.

As a result, before the start of the new regular season, the Bulls made some adjustments to their lineup.

Norman Powell, Josh Richardson and Kevin Looney were all sent to the Development League.

Both first-year rookies, only Jokic and Portis remain on the Bulls.

In this way, even if the game is played in garbage time, Green, Middleton, and Crowder can get more playing time and more ball rights to increase their statistics.

Although the management had some complaints about the coaching staff's arrangements for the rookies, they did not interfere with the coaching staff's work.

After all, as of now, the coaching staff is still very good.

Throughout November, the Bulls were the team with the most wins in the Eastern Conference.

Seeing that the Bulls have reached the first place in the Eastern Conference again, Bulls fans who had no intention of watching the game because of their poor performance in the preseason also returned to the United Center.

The Bulls' season tickets and ticket prices have naturally increased accordingly.

If you can make money, that's great!

The coaching staff performed well, and the management naturally didn't talk too much. (End of chapter)
