NBA: James wants to team up with me

In fact, the Bulls played this way in the playoffs last season, but when they used this trick again in the new season, the situation was completely different.

Thomas was replaced by Curry at the point guard position, which instantly raised the Bulls' outside firepower to a higher level.

Curry, who has returned from injury, obviously wants to express himself very much.

This is not surprising, after all, this is already the fourth season of Curry's career. He played pretty well in the first two seasons, but in the third season he suffered a season-ending injury and missed most of the season. Curry's value has dropped significantly. According to the agent's judgment, if Curry cannot produce amazing personal data in the last season of his rookie contract, it may be difficult to get a satisfactory contract.

After all, repeated ankle sprains have caused Curry to be labeled a glass man. Even if the Bulls want to renew Curry's contract, they must consider his health.

Apart from financial considerations, Curry also has other considerations. He is very grateful for Wang Chong's regard for him. He also wants to help Wang Chong win the championship this season and severely beat the guys who look down on him and belittle Wang Chong. s face.

Wang Chong had already expected Curry's performance.

In the original 12-13 season, after Curry returned from injury, he averaged 23 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game, shooting 45.1% from the field and 45.3% from the three-point range. Three-pointers are more accurate than two-pointers.

Under his leadership, the Warriors posted a record of 47 wins and 35 losses in the regular season, successfully went from third to last in the Western Conference last season to sixth in the top, and entered the second round of the playoffs.

By the next season, the 13-14 season, the Warriors' lineup was completely formed and their record improved to 51 wins.

After that, Curry soared to the sky, won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, and led the Warriors to three championships in four years.

I have said many times before that Curry of the Bulls may not reach the level of Curry of the Warriors in the future, because the main core of this team can only be Wang Chong.

But unlike the Warriors, the Bulls' Curry began training towards his ultimate version early, and with Wang Chong attracting firepower on the court, the offense was obviously much easier and simpler.

Therefore, comparing the situation at the same time, the current Curry must be stronger than himself during the original 12-13 season.

Pressed by Gasol inside, the Heat had to shrink their defense and tried to use a flanking attack to prevent Gasol from continuing to attack the Heat's penalty area.

But in this way, outside shooters will have a chance to play.

In the first quarter alone, Curry hit two three-pointers from beyond the three-point line and another three-pointer in the second quarter.

After a while, the Heat began to realize that something was wrong.

The Bulls seem to be attacking the inside, but the firepower on the outside is actually much stronger than on the inside!

As the game progressed into the third quarter, Curry made 4 of 2 three-pointers and already scored 15 points with just three points.

The Heat's internal and external defense was in complete distress, and the defense completely collapsed.

The terrible thing is that neither Gasol inside nor Curry on the outside are the Bulls' first offensive core. The Heat can't solve these two people, let alone Wang Chong.

117:105, the Bulls easily defeated the Heat at home without a fight, and successfully got a good start to the new season.

Wang Chong didn't take this game very seriously. He scored 28 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. During the game, Wang Chong did not need to go all out.

库里18投10中，砍下25分9助攻，小加索尔则拿下21分10篮板的两双数据。

The Big Three of the Bulls combined for 74 points and easily defeated the Big Three of the Heat.

The Heat were completely outclassed by the brand-new Bulls in this game. Obviously the main players of the team are still a few old acquaintances from the past, but their playing style seems to be completely different.

Compared to the Bulls' Big Three, who all scored 20+ points, the Heat's Big Three didn't perform that well in this game.

James defeated the young Butler in the matchup, scoring 30 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. His statistical performance was as stable as an old dog.

However, the performance of the Heat's other two giants was a bit unsatisfactory.

Bosh is always taking the blame. This game was suppressed by Gasol. It is not surprising that he only had 14 points and 5 rebounds.

However, Wade made 20 of 6 shots in the game, and his shooting percentage of only % was somewhat strange.

During the game, Bulls' starting shooting guard Danny Green's defense was very good, causing Wade a lot of trouble.

But if it was Wade in normal times, it would not be difficult to break through Danny Green's defense and score.

In fact, Wade's condition has declined significantly since this time.

When he first joined the league, Wade suffered from injuries, and his meniscus was removed early. For so many years, Wade dragged an injured leg and made great contributions to the Heat.

However, Wade, whose main style of play is to break through with the ball, consumes a lot of his body in high-intensity games.

After all, Wade, James, Wang Chong and even Bosh are all different from each other as rookies in 03. As an older draft player, Wade was already 21 years old when he joined the league, and now in the 12-13 season, he is just years old. Over thirty.

During the regular season, Wade's changes are not obvious. With his outstanding personal ability, Wade can still average 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game during the regular season, although this score is already the lowest in his career after his rookie season. , but considering that Wade still shot 52% from the field during this period, it is not bad.

But in the playoffs, the intensity of confrontation increased, and after losing speed, which is the ability to survive, Wade's lethality dropped sharply, averaging only 16 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.

The fact is that the Flash has lost his speed force and is gradually disappearing from everyone.

As Wade's good brother, Wang Chong saw all this, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He also wanted to remind Wade not to be so selfless. You have given so much, but you will still be betrayed in various ways. Betrayed by his brother, betrayed by the team's general manager.

But Wang Chong couldn't say this now. After all, the two sides were in a hostile relationship. It could easily be misunderstood that he wanted to sow discord, which was completely thankless.

Wang Chong is now thinking about whether it is possible to take Wade in when the Heat's Big Three disintegrate and Wade is forced to leave the Heat by Pat Riley, and help him win the two championships he should have won. Got it.

In fact, Wade in the later period of the Heat and even the Bulls still had a certain fighting capacity. Although he was no longer among the first-line stars, he could still stably contribute 20+ points per game. It's just that at Wade's level, even when he joined the Bulls, he had an annual salary of 2000 million. This price is a bit high. The current Bulls salary space makes it difficult to provide Wade with an offer that is consistent with his worth.

Of course, this is a thing for later. They have not been able to win the championship so far. In the eyes of many people, including Heat fans, the Heat's Big Three have actually failed. In the next one to two seasons, if the team If they continue to be unable to win the championship, they will definitely disintegrate. No one knows what will happen to the Big Three by then.

In fact, the Heat have been tentatively asking prices since last season.

Not only Bosh, who takes the blame every day, is always put on the trade shelf to talk about things, including Wade and even James, as long as the chips are enough, the Heat will also agree to the transaction.

It's just that the current selling prices of these two players are still too high and cannot be afforded by ordinary teams.
-
The Bulls defeated the Heat and got off to a good start, giving the new season a good start. It also reassured Chicago fans who were worried about the team's performance in the preseason and the collective bad-mouthing from various media outlets.

The bull is still the same bull. As long as Wang Chong is here, they will not be weak.

Then in November, in the second game of the regular season, the Bulls defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 11:121.

At this stage, the Cavaliers are still working hard to compete for the No. 1 pick under the leadership of Irving. The feat of three No. 1 picks in four years is no less difficult than the Warriors' three championships in four years.

For such a team that had no combat effectiveness and was rotten to the core, Wang Chong played more relaxedly than in the previous game. He clocked out in the third quarter and scored only 21 points in the game.

The protagonist of this game is Curry.

Perhaps it was because he was too frustrated by injuries last season and had been suppressed for too long. He didn't have enough fun in the last game. Curry came out with full firepower against Irving in this game, scoring 33 points and making perfect shots. hair.

Irving is really unguarded, or in other words, the Cavaliers at this stage have no intention of winning at all. The management's goal is to compete for the No. 1 pick, while Irving's goal is to produce beautiful statistics and outstanding performance on the court to start the game. own popularity.

As for defense... what the hell is that? Is it delicious?
On November 11, the Bulls defeated the New Orleans Hornets 3:98 at home.

The Hornets, who got the new No. 1 pick, are also a bad team with the bottom record.

Anthony Davis is not as ready to fight as Duncan, and he had strong fighting ability in his rookie year.

The thick eyebrow brother's rookie season was quite average, averaging only 13.5 points and 8 rebounds per game. Even the Rookie of the Year was snatched away by Lillard.

Moreover, Brother Big Eyebrow showed a glass-like physique during his rookie stage. He only played 64 games in the regular season. During the four years of his rookie contract, he averaged only about 65 games per season.

However, in the second season, Brother Nongmei seemed to have eaten a book of experience, his ability increased rapidly, and his data immediately increased to the level of averaging 20.8 points, 10 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.

By the third year, Anthony Davis, who averaged 24 points, 10 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, was already selected to the All-NBA Second Team.

But now, Anthony Davis can only be bullied like a little daughter-in-law in front of Wang Chong and Gasol.

All I can say is: Welcome to the NBA, rookie.

The Bulls, who defeated the Hornets at home, once again won three consecutive victories at the beginning of the new season.

But this is far from over.

On November 11, the Bulls defeated the Orlando Magic 6:109 at home, bringing their winning streak to four games.

On November 11, after experiencing many bad teams at the bottom of the league, the Bulls finally faced a decent opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder, composed of the Big Three of Westbrook, Griffin and Ray Allen, can be considered a relatively competitive force in the playoffs in the Western Conference.

It's just that the ceiling of this team may not be as good as the Los Angeles Clippers where Paul and Griffin were originally paired.

The upper limit of that alley-oop team is only the second round of the playoffs. Paul has not been able to get the Western Conference Finals floor he has been dreaming of for many years.

Westbrook, who has not yet started his junior double era, is still less capable than Paul.

As for the Thunder, there is another Ray Allen. I don’t want to brag about it, but Ray Allen at this period is really not a high-quality player.

Since the shortened season last season, Ray Allen has been suffering from frequent injuries just like he was with the Celtics at the same time, which seriously affected his competitive state. Unfortunately, the Thunder did not have a player like Bradley, which made Ray Allen . Allen's starting position was retained and he did not join the Heat in a retaliatory manner.

But Ray Allen didn't play very well in the Heat. As a substitute player for the team during the regular season, his data is of little reference.

The most well-known thing is Ray Allen's key tying three-pointer in this season's finals, which allowed the Heat to equalize the total score to 3:3 and finally achieve a comeback.

Therefore, everyone is saying that it was Ray Allen who saved the Heat and James.

Many fans don't remember that James scored 16 points in the fourth quarter of this game, leading the Heat to a 30:20 score difference in the third quarter, nor do they remember that Bosh, who has always been called a softie, grabbed the most points in front of Duncan. The crucial offensive rebound gave Ray Allen a chance to make a three-pointer. Don't forget that before he made this three-pointer, he made 6 of 1 shots and his shooting percentage was only a pitiful 16%. If He had been a little more accurate before, and maybe the Heat didn't need to be so thrilling to win the game.

Of course, praise should be praised, at least Ray Allen did not show mercy at the critical moment. As a top three-point shooter, not everyone can compare with his big heart.

It's just that in the current game, Ray Allen can no longer bear the title of the Big Three.

The Thunder, driven by the dual core of Westbrook and Griffin, was no match for the Bulls. 97:91, the Bulls ushered in their fifth consecutive victory in the new season.

At this time, the entire league began to feel that something was wrong.

Why do you think the Bulls are going to die every year, and their record is so bad every year?
After five games in the regular season, the Bulls had 5 wins and 0 losses, once again sitting on the top spot in the league.

And the biggest difference for the Bulls this season is the rise of Curry and Gasol.

After five games, Curry averaged 25 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists per game, while Gasol had 18 points and 9 rebounds. Together with Wang Chong, who averaged 28 points, 11 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, the Bulls' Big Three averaged 71 points and rebounds per game. With points, the limelight even overshadowed the Lakers, Heat, Knicks and other high-configuration Big Three combinations, becoming the top three Big Three combinations in the league.

What the hell is this? Are Curry and Gasol so strong? Haven't found it before?
While the entire league was stunned, the Bulls pursued the victory and defeated the Trail Blazers, Clippers and Suns respectively, bringing their winning streak to eight consecutive games! (End of chapter)
