Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Time flies and it is December 12rd, and the NBA 23-20 regular season is announced again.

As the championship team last season, the Bulls naturally participated in the opening game of the new season as usual.

Of course, before the opening game, there will be a championship ring awarding ceremony and a championship flag-raising ceremony that are unique and out of the ordinary and beyond previous standards.

After all, there is a difference between the first and second in history, as well as other championships.

The newly raised flag tonight not only proclaims the achievements of the Bulls last season, but also proclaims the glorious glory the Bulls have achieved in the past decade or even the past thirty years.

"Brother, we are the champions! I want to thank you and congratulate you!"

After receiving the championship ring, Anthony happily came to Duane to congratulate him.

Dunn was used to this and just patted Anthony on the shoulder and congratulated him as well.

Finally, Dunn suddenly thought of something and joked, "If you want, you can play here for a few more years. Maybe you will have more than one championship ring in your career."

Duane knows what the management is thinking and that they are not going to compete for the championship this season, but Duane, Curry and Jokic still have two or three years left on their contracts.

In addition to Siakam who was just signed this year, the contracts of the Bulls' core team have been signed.

As long as the bench lineup is not too bad, the Bulls always have the strength to win the championship.

It depends on whether the Bulls want to do it and whether the league is willing to do it.

Now the Bulls are tied with the Lakers for first place in history. It is not impossible for them to win another championship and become the only one in history.

However, the Bulls have won too many championships in recent years. Although they won them by their own ability, they have indeed taken away a lot of people's cake and cake.

Therefore, if the Bulls want to win the next championship, they must give concessions to the entire league.

For example, the team has been paying hundreds of millions of dollars in luxury taxes but has not achieved any results.

The other teams in the league can get tens of millions of profits from the Bulls every year. After two years, the other teams in the league will probably be willing to let the Bulls continue to compete for the championship.

It’s a pity that Duane is not the owner of the Bulls, and the Bulls owner is notoriously stingy.

Therefore, it is unknown when the next time the Bulls will compete for the championship will be.

However, Duan believes that one should still have dreams, as no one knows whether the next opportunity to win the championship will come a few years earlier.

Now Duane doesn't have too many desires or demands. He just wants to play brotherly basketball with his good brother Anthony for a few more years.

If Anthony is willing, they can continue the way of getting along and the playing atmosphere of last season.

“Of course, money is no longer important to me.

Family and brothers are what I care about.

As long as you don't mind my poor condition, I am willing to retire with you."

Anthony smiled his signature Anthony smile and spoke candidly to Duan.

Many superstars cannot accept the fact that they have become worse, and after they are sure that they can no longer get big contracts in the league, they choose to leave the NBA early.

Of course, there are also people who are not satisfied with their lives and, because of lack of money, choose to live a miserable life and continue to stay in the alliance.

In addition, some players rely on the help of referees and the leadership of superstar teammates to extend their careers.

But Anthony is not that kind of person!

Although Anthony once climbed high mountains and was a strong man who looked up at the starry sky and plucked stars with his hands, he is now on the decline, but he is willing to accept the reality of becoming a mortal.

Now Anthony is no longer pursuing legendary status and is willing to stay with the Bulls and with Durant, just to enjoy the brotherhood and comradeship of ordinary people.

"Okay, let's go together!

We participated in the draft together 17 years ago, and we retired together a few years later.

This is a friendship between the two of us, and it is also a legend!"

Duane said, holding out his hand.

Seeing this, Anthony immediately reached out his hand and grabbed Duane's hand. The two pulled each other, then bumped into each other, smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

After the championship ring awarding ceremony and the championship flag raising ceremony, the opening game between the Bulls and the Mavericks is finally about to begin.

In the past two years, Doncic has been one of the league's most sought-after future faces. Doncic himself has also done well, winning the Rookie of the Year award in his first year as a rookie, becoming an All-Star starter in his second year, and leading his team to the playoffs.

Although he was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, he scored 40 points in his first playoff game, which was an explosive performance.

Not to mention, he was named to the All-NBA First Team in just his second year as a rookie!
In today's small ball era with exploding statistics and a large number of stars, it is truly extraordinary that Doncic can achieve these results as a second-year rookie.

And the solid strength, good potential and outstanding appearance do meet the requirements of the NBA in selecting the league's face.

So, there is today's opening game between the Bulls and the Mavericks.

The champion plays against a Western Conference playoff team. In a sense, this is also a strong dialogue between the East and the West.

However, many people already know that the Bulls management has decided to withdraw from the championship race this season. Even if they don't give up, they will not go all out.

For the Bulls players, this is a season of health, leisure and no pressure.

This also means that there will be many teams that can gain more honors and attention by defeating the defending champion Bulls.

For this reason, many fans of other teams specially watched the opening game tonight.

Some fans are looking forward to Doncic, the new king of the league, starting his road to the throne, while some fans also want to see the final glory of these veteran Bulls players.

Of course, there are also those who just want to watch the fun and enjoy the fun.

In short, this battle between the old and the new should be quite exciting, and there will naturally be more highlights than the other two opening games.

beep--

As the buzzer sounded at the United Center, the referee threw the basketball high into the air, and tonight's opening game officially began.

Jokic was in good shape and helped the team jump to the ball at the beginning.

As a point guard, Curry did not choose to dribble the ball himself, but instead started running the marathon first.

The Mavericks' defensive attention was drawn from the beginning.

Murray dribbled across half court and set a pick-and-roll with Jokic at the top of the arc, then broke through to the left.

At the same time, Jokic went down the middle, while Curry ran around the basket from the left corner to the right corner, and then went up to the forty-five degree angle on the right.

Curry's cut to the basket and run to the right attracted a lot of attention, and Jokic got an excellent offensive opportunity by going down to the basket.

Unfortunately, when Murray broke through on the left, he was double-teamed by the Mavericks and ultimately failed to pass the ball due to limited vision.

The ball could only be given to Duane at the top of the arc, and after Duane got the ball, he made a sudden change of direction and passed Coke Bell.

Since Durant could step into the restricted area with just one step toward the basket, Porzingis had to let go of Jokic to help defend Durant.

Seeing this, Duane immediately stopped and jumped, pretending to shoot and passing the ball to the basket.

Jokic jumped up, caught the ball, and put it into the basket with a gentle push.

The Bulls originally wanted to play a gorgeous pass-and-cut combination for this ball. Although they failed to do so, in the end they relied on the main players' ability to attract defense and easily made a simple ball of a sudden pass and a layup.

I can only say that it is too easy for the Bulls to score with this configuration.

Even if one or two main players are missing, as long as the team's condition is not too bad, the starting lineup alone can score 60 to 70 points in a game.

Among the starters, Durant and Jokic are both good at passing the ball to their teammates, and Curry, as a point guard, likes to share the ball even though his passes are more frivolous and prone to mistakes, and he can use his magical gravity to drive his teammates.

This also means that even if the Bulls do not have much aspirations this season, they are still a top team in the league and can easily defeat most teams in the league.

"You fell down before I even exerted any force!"

101 to 109, the Bulls used a magnificent performance with the main players punching in for three quarters, proving the fighting power that the defending champions, the No. powerhouse in the league's history, should have!

After winning the opening game, the next game is the Christmas game. The next opponent for the Bulls to be tested is none other than their previous opponent in the finals - the Los Angeles Clippers.

Originally, the Bulls were in power this year, so the Clippers were the obvious king of the league.

But now it is the Bulls, not any other team, sitting on the throne!
Who do you think is the stepping stone?

Amidst the laughter and merriment, the Bulls players welcomed their next victim... no, challenger. (End of this chapter)
