Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.

The Bulls have a glorious enough historical record and honors, and the Bulls players have also accumulated enough fame and reputation.

Everyone finally walked to the center of the stage, came under the spotlight, and enjoyed the cheers of the audience. Naturally, they were unwilling to let the show end like this.

Especially in the current situation where the league and beyond are sounding the same badly, the Bulls players are even more unwilling to remain silent and never recover.

Give it a try! Even if it is your last dance, you must sing your own beautiful voice and dance out a wonderful life!
As Dunn took the lead in opening a meeting within the locker room and expressed his own ideas and ambitions...

Jokic, Curry, Anthony, Wiggins and others stepped forward to express their agreement, and said they would take practical actions to cooperate with other players on the team to help the team better reach the playoffs.

The Bulls are still on the edge of the play-offs, but fortunately they have a certain hope of making it out of the play-offs and directly into the top six in the Eastern Conference.

In order to achieve this goal, the Bulls players quickly ended the remaining holidays of the All-Star Weekend and began to devote themselves to daily training and preparations for the second half of the regular season.

The Bulls are the defending champions, even if they are weaker than last season...

However, the main reason why the Bulls have been in such a vulnerable situation this season is that some of their veteran players are no longer able to play, and the Bulls management has no intention of making the playoffs and has failed to strengthen the team in a timely manner.

Although the free market is now closed, it is not impossible for the Bulls to tap into their internal strength and return to the ranks of strong teams.

The Bulls suddenly collapsed this season, fundamentally because their core lineup was not strong enough.

Duane and Curry have been playing health-preserving basketball for half a season.

Anthony has no desires and is really cooperating with the Bulls management on his retirement tour.

Wiggins noticed that the atmosphere in the team was not right, so he began to muddle through and became the league's number one public servant.

As a result, Jokic is the only one left among the five starters who is still supporting the team independently, but he is unable to do so alone.

The remaining three main rotation players each have their own calculations. Because of the contract year, they are more concerned about playing time and data.

As for the five first-year rookies, their average playing time is only about 10 minutes per game, and none of them averages double-digit points this season.

The team is about to start the plan of making it out of the play-offs and heading for the playoffs. This group of unreliable first-year rookies are naturally not part of the plan.

Fortunately, the Bulls still have capable players.

After re-establishing their goals for this season and building up their confidence in winning, Big Head, Ohashi and Lowe all chose to follow in the footsteps of Duane and others and charge towards the playoffs.

For them, although brushing up statistics is the most important thing, it is also very important to continue to be an important piece of the puzzle to win the championship.

If the Bulls don't even get to play in the playoffs this season, they'll go on vacation early.

Then the identities of Datou, Ohashi and Lowe as the winning puzzle pieces will also be questioned by some people.

Role players are not like core players. They can prove their strength and value as long as they perform well for one or two seasons.

Role players need to readjust their position and prove their strength again every season and every time they join a new team.

Regardless of whether Big Head, Ohashi, and Lowe leave the Bulls in the future, they will transform from role players to core players, or even All-Stars, superstars, and superstars.

At least if he wants to get a bigger contract this summer, he must help the Bulls advance to the playoffs and perform even better in the playoffs.

The Bulls have only seven main players who can play, but if these seven players can cooperate well, averaging 110 points per game is actually not a big problem.

Jokic has the ability to average 30 points per game. Although Curry's scoring stability has declined, he still has the ability to average 25 points per game.

If Durant doesn't play health-preserving basketball, he won't be able to average 20 points per game, but averaging 17 points per game is not impossible.

As for Wiggins, as everyone knows, even if he turns into a basketball civil servant, he can still average 17 points per game in a season.

If the team atmosphere is good and he needs to work harder, that's 18 points. Even if he encounters a strong defensive team, Wiggins can complete his KPI on time. With this calculation, the Bulls' starting four players average 90 points per game.

The remaining 20 points can be made up by the scoring ability of Datou and Daqiao, and there is no chance for Lowe, a blue-collar inside player, to score.

But in fact, if given enough playing time, Lowe can also average 10+ points per game.

Therefore, the Bulls mainly play a seven-man rotation. Even if Duane and Curry score less, or if they don't have to rely on Jokic in every game, it is not a big problem for the team to score 110 points.

These days, if a team scores 110 points, they can basically win as long as their defense is not too bad.

Of course, the Bulls do have some problems on the defensive end this season.

Fortunately, it is not particularly serious, as there are Wiggins and Bridges on the outside and Lowe on the inside.

Duane's defensive experience is also good, and he can help the team with assists in defense by playing at the power forward position.

By the playoffs, Anthony's retirement tour is over, and the Bulls can easily promote Ohashi to the starting small forward position and have Durant move back to the power forward position to enhance the Bulls' overall defensive quality.

As for now, the Bulls are tight inside and loose outside, pretending to be still organizing a retirement tour for Anthony.

As long as they work hard secretly and win a few more home games, there is hope that they can move up step by step and get into the top six in the Eastern Conference.

Even taking a step back, it would be a good thing to be able to reach the seventh or eighth position and have a chance to revive the A-League in the play-offs.

Back to the point, other teams did not expect that the Bulls had completed the "reconstruction" and became brand new and rejuvenated. The Bulls played exceptionally well and brilliantly in the games in late February.

However, after winning five consecutive games and rising to eighth in the Eastern Conference, the league's top management also realized that something was wrong with the Bulls.

The plan of the league's top brass this season is to use the Bulls' fall to the brink of the playoffs as marketing, continuously attracting the attention of Bulls fans and haters, in an attempt to boost the overall ratings of the league's regular season and playoffs.
.
In the original plan, the Bulls would rise steadily with the support of the whistle, from the play-in game to the playoffs, and then to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they would be passed to one of the championship teams, the Celtics or the Bucks.

In the next stage, the two top picks or Antetokounmpo will be able to absorb the luck and reputation of Durant, Jokic, and Curry to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Finals, and even reach the top in one fell swoop.

However, before this big show was staged, the leading actors such as Durant, Curry, and Jokic began to take jobs privately, as if they were going to move to another place to perform!
Tolerable or unbearable?
League officials discovered that something was not right, and the Bulls' special "away whistle" treatment this season suddenly disappeared.

Even the home whistle was blown beyond recognition, which made the Bulls fans particularly angry.

Fortunately, the Bulls players have built up the belief of winning with the previous five-game winning streak. The Bulls, who were in a daze in the first half of the regular season, have completely awakened!

The home court is like a graveyard and the away court is like hell, right?
It’s not like I haven’t experienced this before! Just do it!

The Bulls are only 2.5 wins away from sixth place in the Eastern Conference. With the next twenty or so games, the Bulls have every chance to catch up.

God will not let down those who work hard, the Bulls once again proved what it means to be a defending champion!
It turns out that there are four active top 4 superstars who are really awesome.

In the 24 regular season games after the Bulls revealed their goal of making a push for the playoffs and even the championship, Curry scored 30+ points in 15 games, Durant scored 25+ points in 13 games, and even Anthony, who had nothing to do, had two outstanding performances of 2+ points.

The more the merrier!
No matter how dark the situation in the league is, the Bulls rely on the flame of unity and struggle to light the way forward.

By the end of the last regular season game of this season, the Bulls had achieved the sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 47 wins and 35 losses.

On the surface, this record seems to be just so-so. In fact, there is no outstanding team in this season.

The Celtics, who are first in the Eastern Conference, have only 51 wins and 31 losses, only four wins ahead of the Bulls.

The Grizzlies, who are ranked first in the Western Conference, have only 56 wins and 26 losses, not 10 wins ahead of the Bulls.

To some extent, the play-off system makes it more difficult for strong teams to win. Historically strong teams with 60+ wins in a single season like in the past will become more rare.

Once a team wins 60+ games, it usually means that the championship team is born early!

This is undoubtedly good news for the Bulls this season - there is no team with 60+ wins this year, and the championship competitors, even if they are very strong, are only limited in strength. (End of this chapter)
