Chapter 1 Seventy-five wins over the Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are not weak, there is no doubt about it, Li Shihao knows it very well, but Li Shihao also understands that this year's Bulls are far from being strong, at least if the Chicago Bulls are placed in the highly competitive Western Conference, they will definitely miss out playoffs.
Derrick Rose has been boasted a bit too strong, and Li Shihao is also the Chicago Bulls who have been sinking for too long. They urgently need a new Bulls leader to lead them out of the predicament.
It so happened that Derrick Rose appeared perfectly. The nearly 19-year-old Derrick Rose led the Memphis Tigers to the NCAA finals, defeated many powerful enemies along the way, and became the biggest dark polo team of the season.
This also made Derrick Rose's draft market soar, soaring directly to the position of the top pick, which also made the Chicago Bulls eager to find the next Michael Jordan.
In the post-Jordan era, the Chicago Bulls are not a star away from the championship that they once had at their fingertips. Without Michael Jordan, Pippen, and champion coach Phil Jackson, Chicago has completely become a weak team in the league. They broke into the playoffs in the past two years, but they couldn't break through the semi-finals, and they were thousands of miles away from the much-anticipated finals.
Chicago is a big city, and it ranks third among cities in the United States. There are also many teams that choose to take root here. The Bulls' poor record in recent years has caused too much loss to the fans. Team reports show that every season there are Bulls fans who lose confidence in the team and even choose not to support the Chicago Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls need a star, a superstar who can win games!
The management of the Chicago Bulls knows very well that if there is no new star to lead the team to rise and play hearty victories, the team's box office will only decline step by step.
Take a look at the Los Angeles Lakers. After they traded Shaquille O’Neal, they also have Kobe Bryant as the core of the team. Although this kid with explosive scoring plays alone, he can bring victories to the team and play games that are pleasing to the eye. This is what attracts the fans the most.
In the current Bulls lineup, there is really a lack of a superstar like Kobe. Ben Gordon has good scoring ability, does not lose the chain at critical moments, and has a big heart.
Ben Gordon has extremely comprehensive offensive means, and he is almost impossible to defend when his hands are hot. Once the critical moment comes, this guy will become more and more calm. The shooting at the critical moment is like a sharp knife, threatening the enemy team all the time. Achilles heel.
But Ben Gordon's defensive ability is too poor, which is his biggest weakness.
Many of the fans of the Chicago Bulls are old fans of the Michael Jordan era. After witnessing countless peak nights played by Michael Jordan, the Bulls fans recognize the perfect shooting guard like Michael Jordan.
In the eyes of the old Bulls fans, Ben Gordon is nothing like Jordan. Gordon often has 20+ data everywhere, but he still can't conquer the hearts of Chicago fans. In the eyes of Chicago fans, Kobe and Wade The defenders are the players they favor. One is known as the player who is most like Jordan in the fadeaway jumper, and the other is Jordan who is called 193 cm. For Bulls fans, Ben Gordon really does not have half a star quality.
Ben Gordon's role on the defensive end is too small. Because of his limited height, he is easily overwhelmed by tall defenders, and his footwork is also poor. He prefers to take fake moves. In general, Gordon is more suitable for the position Sixth Man".
Although Ben Gordon is strong, he lacks wingspan.Possesses a lot of ball-handling turnovers, usually to the right.Average athletic ability.The defense is terrible, the defensive shooting guard lacks size, and the defensive point guard lacks speed.
Last season, after the Bulls management desperately selected Derrick Rose of the University of Memphis with the No. [-] pick, Ben Gordon seemed a bit tasteless.
This season, in order to leave more tactical space for Derrick Rose, the Bulls did not match the contract given to Ben Gordon by the Detroit Pistons.
Facts have proved that Ben Gordon and the current Chicago Bulls are interdependent. After Gordon left the windy city of Chicago, he was not acclimatized, and his data shrunk a lot without it.
Without Ben Gordon's firepower output, the Bulls' average offensive points per game have also dropped a lot, and they have suddenly fallen to the lower reaches of the league.
Today's Bulls don't have many offensive points. Derrick Rose and Luol Deng carry the banner of the team's offense. The two teamed up to provide most of the Bulls' firepower.
Such a Bulls team is obviously not as powerful as last season. When facing a strong defensive team like the Orlando Magic, the Bulls lineup lacked a scorer like Ben Gordon who could tear apart the opponent's defense. The efficiency has been greatly reduced. The two teams have played against each other three times this season, all of which ended in the failure of the Chicago Bulls.
It is not easy for the Chicago Bulls to maintain the eighth position in the Eastern Conference this season. It is obviously impossible for them to go further in the playoffs, unless they can use the trade to exchange for some powerful stars.
Young, talented, and fighting spirit, these are the most common adjectives used on the Bulls, and they are also the biggest advantage of this team.The same is true of the fact that the Bulls are full of vitality and hard work.
They have a tenacious will to win and a spirit of daring to fight. Even against the most powerful opponents, the Bulls can compete with them, and they have the courage to show their swords.
The depth of the lineup, even though the Celtics, Cavaliers, and Magic have completed sensational reinforcements this summer, the Bulls' lineup depth is still not inferior to these top opponents, and it can even be said to be more stable and balanced.
The biggest weakness of the Chicago Bulls is their lack of tough battle experience!
The team's original age structure is biased towards young people. After trading away the experienced Ben Gordon, the ability to fight tough battles has been reduced a lot.
They are too young, although this is not a complete disadvantage, but youth can sometimes become a problem for the Bulls. For example, in the playoffs last season, they could completely eliminate the Celtics in one fell swoop, but unfortunately they lacked experience in tough battles.
Originally, after last year's earth-shattering round of tie-break playoffs, this problem should be resolved, but the Chicago Bulls chose to let Ben Gordon go away from the Motor City, which undoubtedly greatly reduced the strength of the team. The strong pace of the team slowed down a lot.
What the Chicago Bulls think this season is to leave more salary space to meet the free market in the summer of 2010.
This summer, the contracts of the 03 generation expired one after another. Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Flash Wade and others will test the free market.
This summer's free market can be called the craziest year. Many stars can become free agents at this point. This is rare in the history of the league and has been called the craziest year by many media.
In addition to the superstars of the 03 platinum generation, Yao Ming, Joakinoah, Stoudemire, Kirilenko, Kenyon Martin, Peja Stojakovic, Jefferson, Richardson, Tony Parker, Chandler, Dampier, Bruce Bowen, Brad Miller, O'Neal, Stojakovic, Mike Miller, Alston, Stephen Jackson, Marcus Camby, Kenyon -Martin, Ben Wallace, Larry Hughes, behind the long list of stars, there are countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, and countless people have set their sights on this year's free market.
This summer, it is very likely to change the structure of the league, and even affect the direction of the league in the next three to five years. This has made many people both excited and manic.
The Chicago Bulls are likely to seek a deal at that time, and the expiring contracts of Miller and Jerome James are extremely valuable.They could put them on the shelf and bring back a superstar in the summer of 2010.
The Flash Wade is an excellent target. He is also a superstar born in Chicago. His popularity in Chicago is also high. Every time the Flash leads the Heat to the Chicago United Center, the fans will cheer.
If Dwyane Wade joins the Chicago Bulls in the summer, it will undoubtedly cheer the Bulls fans and greatly stimulate the team's box office market.
The backcourt combination formed by Flash Wade and Derrick Rose is probably the strongest backcourt combination in the league, right?
The situation for the Bulls is not good tonight. Facing the same young Timberwolves throughout the first half, they did not have any advantage. The score fell behind by 13 points. The double-digit score gap always weighed on the young Bulls like a mountain. The hearts of the players are so heavy that they can't breathe.
In the first half, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves felt hot. He was in excellent form today and hit 4 three-pointers from outside the three-point line. In the first half alone, he scored 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 times. Cap data.
One person led the Timberwolves to a strong lead over the Chicago Bulls!
This is the biggest difference between the Timberwolves and the Chicago Bulls. Today's Timberwolves have no shortage of scoring points. As long as Li Shihao attracts double-teams, he can distribute the ball to his teammates. As long as his teammates run out of good positions, the offensive opportunities will not be bad. As long as the touch is not too bad, their offense will not lose to any team!
李世浩得到12分、5个篮板和7次助攻，马克乔金诺阿得到11分，科里布鲁尔得到14分、3次助攻和3个篮板。
反观芝加哥公牛队这边，诺阿得到5分和8个篮板，德里克罗斯得到18分、6次助攻和4个篮板，罗尔邓得到12分和3次助攻。
It can be said that the Chicago Bulls' offensive points are too concentrated, and there are not many reliable scoring points they can grasp. Once the game reaches a stalemate, they lack people who can lead the team out of the predicament!
Joakim Noah came back and returned to the starting lineup. The two sides played inextricably in the first quarter, and the score was maintained for the entire quarter, but the stalemate was broken after halfway through the second quarter.
Marc Gasol got the ammunition delivered by Li Shihao, and he was in a brave state. He made continuous efforts in the interior, dunked twice and made a tip-up. He scored 6 points in a row in the penalty area by himself, leading the team's offensive rhythm and playing 8-0 small orgasm.
"Damn it, how should I defend this kid's pass?" Derek Rose thought anxiously in his heart.
Derrick Rose, who had begun to get impatient, made a mistake while dribbling. Lee Se-ho came to the Chicago Bulls paint and tossed the ball high.DeMar DeRozan scored an alley-oop dunk to put the Indiana Pacers ahead of the Chicago Bulls by three.
"Damn!" Derrick Rose slapped the ball in his hand hard, and Chicago Bulls coach Tom Tebodeau got up and asked for a long timeout.
When the Chicago Bulls attacked again, the players followed the arrangement of head coach Tom Tebodeau and continued to slowly grind out the battle with the Timberwolves.
Derrick Rose handed the ball to Joakim Noah on the inside. Joakim Noah began to single Gasol with the ball behind him. Joakim Noah faced Gasol and made a direct throw. The basketball hit the rebound , fell, rolled around the edge of the basket, and finally fell into the net.
The Timberwolves were not hit by this blow. Under the leadership of Li Shihao, they attacked frequently, and their offensive was not weaker than that of the Chicago Bulls.
The Timberwolves took the lead over the Bulls with their better form. Derrick Rose did not give up, and he and Luol Deng teamed up to recover 3 points within 4 minutes, and at the same time assisted Joakim Noah for a quick dunk.
It's a pity that the Timberwolves are not in a weak state. They were not intimidated by the momentum of the Chicago Bulls.
The Timberwolves lead by six points over the Chicago Bulls 56-50.
The game was not over yet. The Chicago Bulls' offense broke out suddenly in the third quarter. Derrick Rose crazily rushed into the Timberwolves' restricted area and scored 7 points alone. Driven by him, the Bulls' offensive firepower suddenly rose , Luol Deng also scored 6 points, and they led the team to a 15-5 offensive climax.
The Chicago Bulls used this wave of offensive rhythm to successfully overtake by 4 points.
After that, the two teams came and went, and the score increased alternately. Li Shihao scored 4 points in a row. With 5 minutes and 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the two teams tied at 96.Li Shihao made a three-pointer from the outside, Joakim Noah succeeded in two inside singles, and the Bulls took the lead again.
But at the critical moment of the game, the Bulls failed to attack. Li Shihao scored 4 points in a row and led the team to an 8-0 spurt. With 48.5 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves regained the lead 108-105.
The Chicago Bulls had no choice but to request a timeout. After the timeout came back, Rose missed three consecutive points and missed the opportunity to overtake the score.
On the Timberwolves side, Li Shihao hit a jumper. In the end, the Timberwolves won 112-105 and defeated the Chicago Bulls at home.
