Guard With a Knife

Doug walked into the Chicago Bulls training camp on October 6, and there were a lot of fresh faces in the team. But when he was shooting the season's promotional photos, he still stood in the most visible position with Derrick Rose, and the head of the club's player management department handed over the ‘flower ball’ representing rights to him.

No one is surprised by this.

Everyone present felt that it should be so.

During the media interview, the reporters around the little duke were also the most. Although Derrick Rose was the No. 1 overall pick by the Bulls, and he was born in Illinois and was a native of Chicago.

But...now no one is hyping up news about the bulls' internal struggle for power. The whole team is very harmonious, including the Chicago media, they have long been used to putting Snoopy's name in front of Derrick Rose.

Although, Adidas will add the title of Bull Leader when it promotes Ross. But the Snoopy team will not deliberately play against him, everything is in harmony.

It's like the close relationship between Derek and Snoopy.

Snoopy praised the team's management during the offseason in front of the camera: "Gary and his team have been rewarded throughout the summer. If there is a scoring system in front of me."

Subsequently, he praised several new aids, from Boozer to Korver, to Asik, Ronny Brewer, and CJ Watson.

Finally, he led the media to his teammates, and he and Stephen Marbury walked to the physiotherapy room next door to chat.

Marbury has recently turned red, when he saw the little duke say hello and even used Chinese: "Did you eat it?"

An authentic Beijing accent.

This almost made the Duke Dog laugh.

He told Doug that he had spent two months studying in China. He found that he still needed to learn a lot of theoretical knowledge, and he also put forward the theory of ‘the unity of knowledge and action and practice is the only criterion for testing truth’.

"This is the last NBA season in my life." Marbury told Snoopy at the end of the conversation: "I decided to go to China after the season is over. There, I met a lot of friends, and some clubs are willing to give it to me. Offer a salary of no less than nba. The most important thing is that I can study more deeply."

Lao Ma suddenly raised this, and the little duke froze in place. Since he joined the Knicks, Marbury has stood behind him as a humeral veteran, and he has become accustomed to him talking about the red theoretical leadership spirit in the locker room. Suddenly, he was about to leave, and he couldn't react.

After a long time, he said: "Well, then leave with the championship ring."

Marbury grinned: "Thank you!"

Very authentic.

But the Duke Dog couldn't laugh anymore.

...

Before the official start of the preseason, Thibodeau's coaching team developed a new tactical manual. The Bulls' style of play in the new season is still mainly defensive, but it adds defensive counterattacks and ddm offensive routines.

In general, Thibodeau's defensive philosophy is the main focus. At the same time, it increases the possession power of Derrick Rose and Snoopy, giving more freedom on the offensive end.

Dugge has no opinion on the tactical system. He is familiar with all tactical routes after reading the manual a few times.

However, in the team's joint training.

But there is a problem with collocation.

Although Carlos Boozer did not control his body shape during the offseason after signing an 80 million contract in July, which caused serious physical blessings. But the coaching staff couldn't help putting him on the starting list.

Joe Jinnoah also has to occupy a list.

The next Lor Deng, although not very old, is a veteran of the three dynasties at any rate, and is... the strongest defender on the flank of the Bulls, it is impossible for him to not have this position.

Next... Derek Ross and Snoopy, can't they both be placed on the bench, right?

So, when this set of starting was confirmed.

The problem appeared immediately.

First of all: Dug and Rose, who practiced hard in the summer, still maintained a passionate physical state, when they increased their speed. Lordan was barely able to keep up. Even if Jokinoa and Boozer were exhausted and panting, they couldn't follow up.

Secondly, when Rose and Duque broke into the paint, they split the ball out...no one can support from beyond the three-point line. Although Lor Deng had a three-pointer training in the offseason, the effect was not obvious. Carlos Boozer's range cannot be expanded beyond the three-point line, and he is still recovering his energy, and his shooting rate has been slow. As for Qiao Jin Noah, he...no need to mention it.

In the end, both Rose and Duque increased their offensive training during the offseason. Rose focused on training mid- and long-range jumpers, while Dugge made all-round enhancements, especially the post-back singles of the opponent's defender from the low post. The increased desire for offense between the two caused disharmony in connection.

This leads to an obvious problem.

The starting lineup has more than impact, but the offensive energy is insufficient.

And when Snoopy and Derek broke up, they each brought a lineup with stronger offensive power. Or... Let Korver and Tay Gibson start, the team's offensive and defensive rhythm is smoother.

This creates a kind of'extravagance and waste' effect. Obviously it was a good table of ingredients, but failed to fry a good dish.

This trend has been brought to the preseason.

The Bulls lost two games in a row, and the incompatibility visible to the naked eye made the commentators climax collectively. Especially after Snoopy won the third place, and LeBron James rampage led Miami to a three-game winning streak.

"The uncertainty of a young team is far greater than the risk of a mature star team. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade can quickly find a way to fit. But... the two rising stars want to run together successfully. Things with a degree of difficulty as high as 99.99."

The sour rhetoric of experts continues to appear in the newspapers.

This allowed Snoopy to propose a personnel adjustment plan before the third game of the preseason. He proposed to temporarily delegate Carlos Boozer and Jokinoa to the bench, allowing Ty Gibson and Korver to enter the starting list.

Before a show of hands, Qiao Jin Noah smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go to lose weight and fat first, you have the final say."

Boozer obviously hadn't seen this kind of formation, and he thought Snoopy was giving himself power. He quickly stated: "I am here to assist you and Derek Rose. I have no intentions."

He is an old-school star, and he simply can't accept the issue of putting off the bench.

Even he knows that his current physical condition is not suitable for playing for too long, and he does not keep up with the rhythm of the two guards.

When fighting for reason, Stephen Marbury played the role of political commissar.

He took Boozer aside, and the two began to talk.

From democratic centralism, I talked about the core leadership of the Bulls, and then talked about the culture of the Bulls locker room.

Finally Boozer made concessions, and the coaching staff also made some compromises.

After all, old-school stars love face.

Boozer still appeared as a starter, playing four to five rounds before resting.

Thus, in the third preseason game, the Bulls easily won.

Of course, this has something to do with the Lakers.

The state of the defending champion is worse than that of the Bulls. After playing three games, Kobe Bryant returned to Los Angeles to cultivate his knees. And other players' fat fat, sleepwalking sleepwalking... all of them are like walking dead.

Having won two championship rings in a row, they seem to have no interest in the preseason.

The game lost its suspense before the second quarter ended.

This makes the Duke Dog quite unhappy.

The first unhappy is because he originally wanted to use this game to polish the team's state, but the Lakers surrendered as soon as they came up.

Second, he felt that there was no hope of revenge. The average age of the Lakers players was originally higher than the league, this year they are one year older. Today, their mental outlook is also a posture of Fang Nanshan, perhaps they will gradually get back to their state in the regular season. But... can they really reach the finals for three consecutive years?

Doug felt that the possibility was not high anymore.

Therefore, I feel lost.

After playing with the Lakers, the Bulls again defeated the Kings, Bucks, Wizards, Rockets and other underdogs in the preseason.

Entered the regular season with a winning rate of five wins and two losses.

Although the preseason record is not included in the statistics, and most teams are based on hone the lineup. But to some extent, it can actually demonstrate the overall strength of the team.

It's as if the Miami Heat ended their preseason tour with an eight-match victory, which has increased the prestige of the Big Three.

Although the forty-nine states in the United States do not like the Miami Heat, they regard them as super public enemies of the NBA. But if they resist the pressure and continue to rule the NBA League, their momentum will rise again, and they will rise one or two levels.

For James, Wade, and Bosh, this is a big bet.

Similarly, for young stars such as Dugge, Rose, Durant and Westbrook, it is also an excellent opportunity to slay the gods and prove the Tao.

Which rising star can kill the Big Three, then... he will naturally become the new NBA superhero.

Right now, a large part of the fans' eyes are on Chicago.

At the same time, the Bulls Club made the last adjustment to the roster of players for the new season. After the test of the preseason, some marginal players were cut.

The final official lineup is left: Snoopy Du, Derek Ross, Carlos Boozer, Jokinoa, Kyle Korver, Tay Gibson, Ronny Brewer, James Johnson, Keith Bogans, Stephen Marbury, Kurt Thomas, Asik, Cj Watson and Scala Bryan.

This lineup is extremely challenging in terms of depth and talent. This is also the reason why the major rankings rank the Bulls in third place in the league.

The Bulls' opponent in the opening game of the 2010-2011 season is the New Orleans Hornets led by Chris Paul.

Paul, who entered the league in 2005, finally ended his hand-to-hand combat point guard battle with Deron Williams from last season. He has firmly established himself as the league’s first point guard. He is known as the most traditional NBA active player. Point guard. With a height of 183, he has a breakthrough ability beyond ordinary people.

Before the game, when Snoopy was asked about his evaluation of Chris Paul, he exaggerated: "Who can be more lethal than Chris Paul in an open space attack? His vision, timing, The accuracy and insight are impeccable, and his speed is fast enough to twist his neck. I think he is the most incomprehensible point guard in the NBA. He reminds me of Isaiah Thomas, they have the same unruly speed, Agility, ball control, heart and desire. The same energy and leadership qualities."

Then... in the game, he blocked Paul three times in the paint: Chris started offensively from Korver each time, and he used his fierce speed to get into the penalty area. Then when facing Snoopy, he became at a loss, he thought about passing the ball. But looking at Snoopy, he didn't look like he could block his throw, so he shot and was capped by volleyball!

This made him quite annoyed. What made him even more annoyed was that Snoopy and Rose continuously flanked outside the three-point line, resulting in two direct steals.

As a result, Paul's defensive action became a little anxious, he even waved his elbow, but this did not change the fate of the Hornets being beaten.

The Hornets' performance in the offseason can be described as mud. They let go of the head of the US team, Tyson Chandler. This brought a great omission to their penalty area defense line: In 2004, the short second defensive center Emeka Okafor could not stop Snoopy's movements at all. He was swallowed up from the beginning... Snoopy is best at His job is to get rid of this short center.

At the same time, it is ridiculous to trade James Posey on the flanks.

From the very beginning, the Hornets uniform team has declared that their biggest goal this season is to compete for the 2011 No. 1 pick.

Chris Paul’s dissatisfaction with the team’s management has long been in the newspapers, and there is even news that he will ask to be traded to the Miami Heat before the All-Star Game. Because he and LeBron James are close to each other, they can't wait to start happy basketball.

The New York Knicks are also trying their best to approach Chris. They hope that Paul can go to Madison Garden and Stoudemire to form a new running and bombing team.

However, anyway.

The Bulls won the victory without a dash ~www.ltnovel.com~ They even gave Carlos Boozer 24 minutes of playing time. Although during this time, he has been cruelly abused by David West of the Hornets. But the advantage Snoopy has established in the paint is enough for him to use a variety of unfocused shots to find the feeling of the game.

"Our great voyage has begun."

Carlos Boozer excitedly told Chicago local reporters after the game: "This is a completely different style of play. Derek and Snoopy made my shots easier than ever before. I even think I might compete. This year's scoring champion. Hahaha!"

He feels very good.

This kind of good is even better than Kyle Korver, who made 5 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line in this game.

In contrast, Kyrie Korver is very low-key: "We are still looking for the right way to play, we started to have some chemistry. But if our goal is the finals, I think the current level is not enough! "
