Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

The championship ring awarding ceremony is in progress. As the Bulls role players and even the starting players receive their championship rings, the highlight is about to begin.

Although Curry is the current leader of the Bulls, he was scheduled to be the second to last active Bulls player to appear in tonight's championship ring awarding ceremony.

As for the last one, there is no doubt that it is Durant, who brought ten championship trophies to the Bulls, helped the Bulls tie the Celtics in the number of championships and became the second largest team in the league!

"Let us welcome the King of Chicago, the best player in the NBA, Durant, who brought ten championships to the Chicago Bulls!"

"Doon! Doon! Doon!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"GOAT! GOAT! GOAT!"

As the live DJ shouted out Duane's name, Duane stepped onto the podium to receive the championship ring under the attention of the crowd, and the fans in the audience cheered Duane's name and various honorary titles like a tsunami.

"Duan, I hope you can lead the team to win another championship!
You are the best player in NBA history. Under your leadership, the Chicago Bulls should become the best team in the league!

I believe you can do it, and we will help you do it!"

Although it was obvious that the team was going to rebuild this season, Jerry Reinsdorf, as the team owner, took the opportunity to present Duane with the championship ring before the opening game to reveal his ambition to become the head of the league's top team.

Perhaps these words were just a pie in the sky that Jerry Reinsdorf painted for Dunn, but Dunn did have ambitions in this regard.

If given the chance, who wouldn't want to put a perfect end to their career?

As Jerry Reinsdorf said, the best player in the NBA should lead the team and become the best team in the NBA!

"Yes, as long as I can still play for the Chicago Bulls, I can do it!

We have always been winners and we are not afraid of challenges!

Believe me, the reconstruction will be completed soon, and next season, and the season after next, we will be back.

But I also hope that you can do what you say, Jeff!

We need to continue to cooperate well as we did in the past to achieve ultimate victory!

Jeff, are you right?

"Of course!" Jerry Reinsdorf promised and nodded seriously to Dunn.

Then he added: "Show our fans everything you have done for the team over the years!"

Jerry Reinsdorf motioned to Duane to put on his finger along with the other nine Bulls championship rings he had received in the past.

Then, he will take advantage of this occasion tonight to publicly showcase his past honors to the more than 20,000 Bulls fans present at the scene and the hundreds of millions of fans watching on TV.

Many times, fans care more about the honors players receive than the players themselves.

At this moment, Duane is wearing all the championship rings in public, which will undoubtedly make those proud fans even more excited.

Duan was also very clear about this. After all, they were the ones who provided him with food and clothing.

Although the salary for playing in the NBA is paid by the team owner, this "premium contract" is more or less related to the fans behind Durant, not to mention other contracts such as sneakers and endorsements.

Generally speaking, if you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes.

This is the time to show off in public!
Moments later, Duane came off the stage and put the other nine Bulls championship rings on his hands.

At the same time, photographers and reporters at the scene kept pointing their cameras at Dunn to capture this moment.

The fans at the scene can clearly see the ten championship rings on Duane's hands through the big screen in the dome.

"GOAT! GOAT! GOAT!"

"GOAT! GOAT! GOAT!"

"GOAT! GOAT! GOAT!"

That is why the cheers became louder and louder, sweeping across the entire United Center like a tsunami.

Perhaps they had never seen such a scene before, the players of the Phoenix Suns, the Bulls' opponent tonight, suffered a heavy blow in morale. The entire team, starting from the starting players, played worse and more embarrassed than the previous one.

Ayton, who is known as the "next Duncan", did not play at the level expected of a No. 1 pick, especially in the matchup with Jokic, where he was completely beaten to the point of an adult beating a child.

It is clear that in the preseason, Ayton could easily score 20+10, but in the regular season, he was timid and didn't even dare to touch the ball.

He obviously has very good physical fitness, both static and dynamic, but he just doesn't confront and avoids Jokic when playing.

So, whether it was scoring or rebounding, Jokic completely defeated them.

To be honest, the Bulls won tonight because of their victory in the interior.

After all, Curry's condition is very average on the Bulls' outside line. Although Murray practiced in the summer, he is not talented enough to improve his three-point shooting rate and stability. Tonight, his three-point shooting rate was only 6 of 2, and 5 of his shooting opportunities were wide open.

As for Duan, his mentality has long been changed.

Seeing that Curry was not in good shape in the first half, he made a little effort and scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

In the second half, seeing Curry's condition improve and second- and third-year rookies like Siakam, White, and Dillon playing well, they started playing health-preserving basketball.

最终，整场比赛杜恩打了31分钟，却只获得了15分6篮板5助攻1抢断的数据。

Considering Duane's value and team status, these data are indeed a bit low.

Fortunately, Duane did not take shots randomly and hold the team back. Duane only took 11 shots in the whole game and his scoring efficiency was not too bad.

Although the defense was a bit slack, it also gave the young players in the interior some opportunities to assist in defense.

Whether it was Portis and Jokic in the starters, or Siakam and Lowe on the bench, they all played very hard on the court.

Jokic knows that defense is his weakness, but he is still quite active in his performance. It seems that he has worked hard in the summer.

As for the rookies on the Bulls, Portis is in his contract year. Plus, the Bulls are rebuilding this year, so it's reasonable for him to improve his stats, so naturally he wants to play better.

Although Siakam has not yet reached his contract year, doesn't he have similar ideas?
As for Lowe, his offensive skills were a bit too rough, and the Bulls didn't expect him, a first-year rookie, to score points. When Lowe came on the court, he could only defend diligently, position himself, and grab rebounds.

In general, although the Bulls do not have many inside players, their overall performance is quite good.

As for the outside line, the Bulls have added a lot of players in the past two years, including Murray, White, Dillon, and this year's Ohashi and Big Head. All of them need playing time and ball possession to be slowly developed.

Anyway, the Bulls are rebuilding this year and have a full season to train rookies, so they are not so anxious to expect the rookies to perform quickly and take on the leading role.

91 to 105, the Bulls clocked out in three and a half quarters and easily won the opening game.

However, after the start of the new season, the Bulls showed the attitude of a rebuilding team.

In the first 13 games, the Bulls only won 4 home games. No matter how they played away from home, the main players basically clocked out after three quarters and gave up early.

In short, the Bulls' core trio of Durant, Curry, and Jokic will only go all out at home.

Because Curry has not recovered yet, we can't win every game at home.

Fortunately, Bulls fans can basically accept the Bulls' attitude of playing badly.

After all, there are many promising freshmen in the NCAA this year.

The regular season was in mid-December, and when the All-Star voting had just begun, many media outlets were still creating gimmicks - who were the Bulls playing for? Who were the NCAA teams this year?

I never expected that the result would be known after only half a month.

Duke's three young players are all outstanding, much better than last year's Villanova big four.

The physical talents of Duke's three young players are visible to the naked eye, and they basically all have lottery potential.

Not to mention Fat Tiger's muscles, his fighting ability, and his athletic ability...

By January, Nike had lost more than a billion dollars with one foot! All the sports media in the United States knew who the Bulls were after!

Barkley's successor! Fat Tiger Cup! Another big year for the draft?

Even before the March Madness stage of the NCAA tournament, the hype for this year's NBA draft is already in full swing.

While the rookies of the 18th class performed well, most media still predicted that the 19th class would be no worse than the 18th class.

Obviously, in such a great draft year with a booming rookie season, it would definitely be more advantageous to play badly early.

All of a sudden, half of the league started to become like the Bulls, and began to play badly with a clear stand.

This also causes a lot of headaches for the league's top management.

In the past few years, the Bulls were competing for the championship, and the league was trying its best to limit the Bulls' chances of winning the championship. Other teams thought they had a chance and were engaged in an arms race with all their might. Then, in order to make the playoffs, every game was fought fiercely, and the league's ratings soared.

But this year the Bulls are in trouble. Not to mention that the Bulls' ratings have dropped a lot, the ratings of other teams in the league, except for the strong dialogues, have basically dropped significantly.

The league's top management did some research and found that the Bulls had won too many championships in recent years, gradually forming a head effect and attracting attention from the outside world.

When the Bulls dropped out of the championship race, the general perception of the NBA was that its watchability had dropped significantly.

In other words, the entire league depends on the Bulls for survival!

If the league's top management wants to maintain the same ratings as before.

Either we must quickly develop a star team that can compete with the Bulls, or we must get the Bulls back on track and back into the championship race... (End of this chapter)
