After playing the Dallas Mavericks, considering the better weather here, the team rested for another day in Dallas, and then flew to Chicago, the next opponent city, on the second day. Due to the one-day break in the middle, the journey was slow. There is no need to be so rushed, and players can get better rest.

When you mention Chicago, you will naturally think of the Bulls. Since Jordan retired, the Bulls have been in the process of arduous reconstruction.

Sinking means poor grades, and the result of poor grades is the draft in the lottery zone. If you win the lottery every year, you will definitely have a good pick. The Bulls rely on the draft to recruit a large number of outstanding players. The No. [-] pick in nine years selected Elton Brand, and then in [-], Brand was replaced by Tyson Chandler, the No. [-] pick of the year, and then signed with the No. Eddie Curry of Poor Man's O'Neill.

In [-], a very regrettable thing happened. This year, the Bulls once again had good luck and got the second pick. After Yao Ming was [-]% sure to be signed by the Rockets, the Bulls picked him up early Jay Williams, the third-year Duke University student who won the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award, who was a basketball genius at the time, won the best college player in the United States, and everyone believed that if it wasn't for the Rockets. The huge Chinese market behind Yao Ming, if not for the fact that the Rockets already have Francis, the Rockets will definitely have the No. [-] pick in him.

Although he was a bit uncomfortable after transferring from a shooting guard in college to ball control, he was facing the league's super point guard Jason Kidd, and Kidd scored a "big triple-double" with 25 points and 26 rebounds. With the excellent performance of [-] assists, Jay Williams did not give up much. He also scored [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists in the "big triple-double". De Yichou, that night, all Chicagoans regarded him as Chicago's hope for the future, and he became the person most likely to surpass God Jordan in the history of the team.

It is a pity that young people tend to get carried away easily in the face of the glory of fame and fame. During the offseason of [-], Jay Williams drove his Harley motorcycle into a utility pole on the side of the road, resulting in injury to his left leg. The result of a torn ligament and a nerve fall, he had to say goodbye to the game.

The Chicago Bulls, who had lost their point guard, had no choice but to re-sign a point guard Kirk Hinrich with the seventh pick in the [-] draft. The Bulls' good luck did not end here. In [-], they once again drew the No. [-] pick, chose Ben Gordon, and traded with the Suns for Luol Deng, the No. [-] pick.

It can be said that if the Bulls hadn't just traded Eddie Curry to the New York Knicks in the offseason for Sweetney, Tim Thomas, two second-round picks and a first-round pick, the Bulls The team can form a starting lineup with a high draft pick of more than seven in the past five years, which is impossible for any team in the league.

The energetic young guards met the old and unusual Spurs. Although their physical strength and impact were superior, under the influence of the Spurs' unhurried rhythm, they slowly entered the rhythm of the Spurs. Among them, some experts once analyzed that the Spurs are the team with the most rhythm control among the [-] teams in the league. Playing positional battles slowly, the Spurs are best at bringing opponents into their own rhythm silently.

The Bulls suffered a great loss because of this, and the Spurs opened the score in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Spurs replaced their main lineup, and this time the substitute lineup was different from before. There is only one inside player, Robert Horry, with Stephen, Brent Barry, Michael Finley, and Van Exel, four outside players, forming a very impactful lineup.

The player who fought against Stephen was Ginobili's teammate in the national team, the Argentine Nocioni. The offensive characteristics of this guy are tough layups. The whole area is full of passion, but with Stephen, his toughness can't be used, because Stephen is tougher than him.

The guy's defense is also very good. The three methods of "bright shoulders, dark elbows and small flying kicks" are used in turn. But again, these small methods have no room for use in front of Stephen. He just raised his elbow, before he hit him. Well, Stephen swung his elbow and bumped into him. As for other methods, Stephen knows no less than him, such as constantly raising his leg to hit his thigh in defense, etc. After a few rounds, Nocioni became honest.

The reason why Popovich transformed the bench lineup into this is that on the one hand, this lineup can maximize the offensive ability of the bench lineup without reducing the quality of defense; The idea that came to mind after being single.

Stephen's offensive methods are basically at the basket or in the penalty area. Even if the strength and bounce are placed inside the muscles, it will not suffer too much from Linzhong. There are no big players in the Bulls' bench lineup. It is often necessary to mention high-level support in the game, and most of the shots are from the outside. Such a large area under the basket is all given to Stephen.

However, in this way, Stephen's strong mobility was brought into play. After half a quarter, Stephen scored eight points, including three dunks and one tip-up, and no serious shots or layups. , At the same time, he also got three rebounds and one assist, and gave Sweetney a solid hot pot.

It seems that his own experiment was successful. Popovich was full of joy when he saw that the team's performance was as he expected. In this way, he could use different substitute lineups according to different opponents. As for the main lineup However, Popovich is confident that he is not inferior to the main force of any team in the league.

However, the main force and the substitute do not have to correspond to each other. Seeing that the team started to fall behind even more, the Bulls immediately replaced the main lineup. These great lads, it’s okay to play for a while longer. I have some old men here, and there are consecutive away games, so let the main players rest more.

The substitute lineup still insisted on the style of play just now, especially after Stephen faced Luol Deng, he took advantage of Luol Deng's weakness of lack of strength and frequently played back-up singles against him, although the single-player skills behind the back-up were still a bit Lack of stability and lack of stability, but Stephen still scored six points again, which is already the team's second highest score.

As a last resort, the Bulls had no choice but to let Nocioni come up and continue to defend Stephen, but after opening it, Stephen was fearless against anyone, and Nocioni's feet were not particularly solid, except for the Argentine's scumbag. After the touch and fall caused Stephen a little trouble, Stephen quickly learned his lesson.

In the second half, seeing that Stephen was in such a good state, Popovich did not replace Stephen when he switched to the main lineup, but let Stephen stay on the court to form an outside lineup with Ginobili and Tony Parker. He was no longer in the basket, but Stephen's performance remained the same, except for the strong inside and post-up singles, his scoring immediately rose sharply.

Manu Ginobili's condition was very poor today. After seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with his body, Popovich replaced him with Michael Finley. Stephen played until the fourth quarter with just over 4 minutes At that time, Popovich replaced him. At this time, the Spurs had already led by nearly 24 points, and Stephen also scored [-] points.

This is the first time Stephen has scored [-] points, and he also scored seven rebounds and three assists. Stephen has taken more shots, so naturally there are not so many assists. It is normal to have fewer rebounds. Most offenses They are all done by themselves, and the shooting percentage is still above [-]%, and there are still rebounds to grab.

The cameras of ABC TV, which broadcast the game, have been chasing Stephen's movements. Even though Stephen is sitting on the bench, he still scans over from time to time, and the two commentators McBen and Mark Jackson are there non-stop. Povich's vision in the draft is a second-round pick, and he is still famous for his defense. He can score [-] plus points in the fourth game. I don't know if the teams in front will see Stephen's performance. Will cry to death.

"So far, among all the rookies this year, only Chris Paul has scored more than 12 points. He is a point guard, and the ball is in his own hands, and the Hornets are built around him. , It is not uncommon to score more than 31 points. Other things, our No. [-] pick so far has the highest score of [-] points. Marvin Williams only has [-] points. Deron Williams was put on the bench by Sloan , the only other player who scored in double figures is the No.[-] pick Coppard selected by the Clippers. He is also an alumnus of Stephen. The two are worthy of being the main players of the University of Southern California in this year's NCAA championship team. They are also rookies. The best batch, look at their picks, one twelve, one [-], I really feel blushed for the coaches of those teams." The backstage staff has listed all the rookie data, Mark Jackson Immediately sneered at those high-ranking figures.

In fact, the choice of the player is not entirely the coach's intention. Some are determined by the general manager, some are decided by the head of the player affairs department, and some are even selected by the boss. But after Mark Jackson retired, he always wanted to find a coach. Work hard, so I don't want to offend those in the management. As for the coach, he is not afraid. He is not a player now, and scolding the coach can relieve his anger.
