The Los Angeles Times broke the news on the 23rd: The Bulls are suspected of infighting, Derrick Rose is dissatisfied with Carmelo Anthony snatching his boss position, and the dynasty has fallen apart before it has even begun!

"Can you coexist with Rose?" At the recent Bulls press conference, this is the favorite question asked by reporters from all walks of life, and today a reporter mentioned this issue again, and Anthony looked very angry!

He said angrily: "I'm so tired of hearing questions like, 'Can two people coexist?' Can they work together? 'We're playing basketball here, and of course we're going to find a way to play together, and I don't think that's a problem that can't be solved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Before the All-Star break, many people had a hunch that the Chicago Bulls would face a difficult run-in period after completing the trade with the Nuggets, but they didn't expect this run-in period to be so difficult and so long.

The Bulls have lost 11 of their last 16 games, and recently ushered in a six-game losing streak, and it's fair to say that the seemingly mighty Bulls have struggled in the month since the trade, but haven't seen any improvement.

The Bulls have dropped to No. 4 in the East since losing to the Hawks in their last game, and they have been overtaken by the Heat and Celtics. While the opponents in these losses were strong, including teams like the Hawks, Hornets, Heat, Rockets, Bobcats, and Magic, the Bulls lost 11 of their 16 games after the trade and really shouldn't have been, especially since they lost at home to a team like the Jazz in a six-game losing streak, and the Bulls have no excuses.

Local media reported that Anthony didn't even listen to the tactical setup with his teammates during the recent Bulls timeout. After losing to the Jazz at home a week ago, Rose finally came out with his criticism of Anthony. However, Anthony did not admit that there was a conflict with Rose, and he said that he and Rose still talked and laughed at the team preparation meeting.

"I don't really care at all, why should I care?" Speaking about being criticized by Rose a week ago, Anthony said, "Thibodeau is a coach who focuses on the defensive system, everybody in the league knows that, everybody on the team knows it, but it takes time to get the hang of it, so all I need is time." Anthony added: "Defensively I need time to develop a chemistry with my teammates, and I need to find my place in the attack, and I still have some issues with my movement and timing, so I told my teammates, 'Man, be patient, I can't find 100 per cent chemistry in three weeks.' ’”

Today is his fourth week with the Bulls, and in the final quarter of this game, Anthony shot 0 of 5, and he did not give an interview to reporters after the game and went straight to the team's bus. So far, the Bulls have only 5-11 records after acquiring Anthony.

This time, Rose said after the game: "There are still some people on the team who need to fit into the Bulls' system, especially defense. Of course, he is referring to Carmelo Anthony here, Melon is obviously unable to do the hard defense and filling of the position like Rolle Deng in the front line, and he has been free from the whole team in rotation movement, and he can often be seen standing in place and not knowing who to fill in.

The Bulls' results have dropped so quickly, but head coach Thibodeau said he was prepared for it, "I don't think everybody is going to be in perfect shape after a trade, and that's what it is. It's risky to trade, but the players want to improve, and that's fine. We're in Chicago and we're training transparent, which is not a bad thing sometimes. I've talked to the players and we've got to keep going and we're going to get things done. ”

But the media can see his true thoughts from Thibodeau's sad expression, and can only say that the Bulls' public relations work is going well, but fans are still very interested in whether there is really infighting within the Bulls, because it is a common hobby of all human beings to like to watch the excitement.

Many fans now just want to see some news that they want to see, so the tabloids have room to survive, fabricating false news or making a big fuss is what they like best, but in fact they just do what they like.

Since the Bulls' six-game losing streak, there have been a lot of rumors in the market about Rose and Anthony feuding, scolding, and even playing fake in the locker room.

Of course, these too explosive news, as long as they are not brain-dead, can be seen at a glance as fake news. So the parties Rose and Anthony, as well as the Bulls executives, are too lazy to pay attention to this kind of news, and they don't even bother to refute rumors, anyway, fools who will believe these news, even if you explain it to them, it's useless.

But soon, some technical and analytical posts based on data and on-field performance began to appear in major forums, and it seemed that the analysis was still the first to be reasonable...... Even some news outlets have gradually joined in, adding tempting words such as "pictures" and "insider revelations", especially since these news and posts have become convincing and true when compared with the previous unreliable gossip.

In fact, some of these criticisms of Anthony do seem to be very reasonable, such as why he has been slow to integrate into Thibodeau's defensive system. That's because the Bulls are one of the league's hardest defensive teams, and Anthony can't do Rohr Deng's job, and he's having a hard time delivering an answer on the defensive end that would satisfy the league's most defensively picky coach.

The Bulls' defensive keywords are "tenacity", "tenacity", "hard work" and "bloodiness", all of which require players to work tirelessly. And it's not that the Bulls defend well because of any one person who stands out, thanks to their zone defense, or hybrid defense. The Bulls' defensive system is very similar to that of the Celtics, and it belongs to the same line of strengthening, which is naturally because Thibodeau was originally a defensive coach of the Celtics.

So once you have the Celtics to compare, you don't even need to get too many professional adjectives, just put the style of play of Garnett, Pierce, Rondo and Anthony together to make a comparison, and you will know why Melon can't fit into Thibodeau's defense, and there is no need to say anything else.

According to sources from within the Bulls, the relationship between Ross and Anthony is becoming increasingly tense because Ross privately connived at his team to attack Anthony, so the two sides gradually lacked communication, and the two have not been in contact with each other in private.

This inside information also revealed that Rose refused to recruit a superstar for the Bulls in the summer, and the same was true for Anthony this time, and Rose didn't even agree to the Bulls' request to call Anthony, so for a period of time, Rose and the team's tension was also tense, and even some Bulls executives thought that Rose's performance was too selfish and had no style of a general.

Rodman didn't know where to come from, he gave an inopportune interview to ESPN, and expressed his bizarre opinion: "Whether Ross and Anthony can coexist depends to a certain extent on whether Ross is in the limelight above Anthony." He played two and a half seasons in Chicago and finally brought the Bulls to second place in the East, and people recognized his ability, and this is when a bigger bowl comes in, and no one is comfortable with it. Anthony is also used to being the boss of the Nuggets, and he will not be willing to make people small when he comes to the Bulls. But if no one wants to be the second one, the Bulls will keep losing. Anyway, I haven't seen a team with two bosses, have you? After saying that, the big worm may still feel uncomfortable, and added: "If you want me to say, Anthony has to restrain a little, don't forget that this is a team with a core, and you have to be well-behaved when you get to someone else's territory." ”

The Bulls' top brass are scolding this drug-addicted bastard at the moment: "Can this kind of thing be brought out and said?" And you're still saying it so bluntly, the point is that your identity is too sensitive, and honestly, is this bastard taking money? ”

Of course, the big worm received benefits, but he didn't know who he received, the other party blew up that he was Kobe's person, but he didn't care who wanted to fix Anthony, as long as he Uncle Rodman received the money.

Wu Huang, the core of the team, can no longer be competent, what he is doing now is obviously the work that the team should do, and he is indeed not simply taking revenge on Anthony, but wants to kill the Bulls by the way, which is the starting point of interests.

And he found that the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, far more than the amount of money he threw out now could blow up, and it seemed that other teams should have also shot, and more than one team had shot. It's understandable that the Heat, Celtics, and even the Magic are happy to see the Bulls fall into a catastrophe, and whoever makes them the strongest team on paper in the East now, as long as there is a chance to step on it, no one will let it go.

The biggest mistake for the Bulls is that the deal was made at the wrong time, and Wu Huang felt that if the Bulls had traded at the beginning of the season, they would not have had as much trouble as they have now. At that time, it wasn't just Chicago that was making big trades, most of the strong teams had a lot of trouble to solve, and the Bulls' record certainly wouldn't have fallen as badly as it does now.

The Bulls are now trading in time for the halfway of the season, and other teams will be almost run-in, and it is difficult for the Bulls to have good fruit against any strong team at this time.

If you look at it this way, their six consecutive defeats are really not much, Wu Huang feels that if the Bulls are affected by the media and fans next, or if there is really an embarrassment like infighting, it will be as simple as six consecutive defeats, and it will not be a joke that it will continue to lose all the way, and it will fall apart in the end.

Chicago fans have gone from second place in a two-game series home court advantage to a fifth place without a home field advantage, and if they lose, they may not even be able to hold on to the fifth place.

After the New York Times report came out, the Miami media also began to break the news the next day, this time according to people close to Ross, Anthony's recent crazy move has caused Ross's dissatisfaction. Ross believes that Anthony's performance is completely stealing the limelight and delusionally wanting to be the boss alone.

The trigger for this incident was that Anthony was appointed captain as soon as he joined the Bulls, which means that he and Rose are currently the captains of the Bulls, which means that both of them are the bosses of the Bulls, which is also where Rodman complained before. Now Anthony is crazy and ignores Rose, which naturally makes the latter intolerable.

Faced with this dilemma, Anthony finally stated before the 25th against the Knicks: he is willing to reduce his shots and help his opponent find his form. At the same time, he said that he will take the initiative to talk to Rose to release his previous suspicions and help the Bulls get out of the shadow of the losing streak.

Anthony has averaged 26 shots per game in his last five games, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field. He took more than 20 shots in each of those five games, four of which were more than 25 shots and one of which reached 30. In contrast, Rose has not taken more than 10 shots in one of his last five games, less than 15 in two games, and less than 20 shots in two games, so it's no wonder that Rose is angry.

'The team has lost in a row recently and I should probably be blamed and take responsibility. The coach was designing tactics around me and I was terrible and I was to blame. Obviously, I'm a little dizzy right now. Even so, I can't use that as an excuse. Maybe I should talk to the trainer and re-evaluate my body, re-evaluate my form. Anthony modestly said that he couldn't help but say that, the Bulls' record plummeted really since he came to the Bulls, and at this time, Bulls fans will definitely point the finger at him regardless of any reason.

'We're a team and I should have done better when it came to sharing the ball with Rose. We will meet today to find a solution to the problem. If I'm going too far, I want him to tell me. I also want my teammates to tell me if I've done it. Anthony continued.

In the face of Rose's dissatisfaction, Anthony can only choose to lower his profile and take the initiative to take responsibility, which may be a good thing for the Bulls, but his words "the coach designs tactics around me" inadvertently upset Rose.

In fact, the Chicagoans are in this situation, and the root of the problem is still the inability to distribute the ball reasonably. Anthony and Rose both want to control the ball and want to hold the ball more and shoot more, but Anthony is not in good shape, not running in with his teammates enough, and the defensive system is chaotic, so the current problem arises.

"We need this win, but I think they need it more, so I don't think it's going to be easy, they're the best in the league on paper, how can you not be worried?" Wu Huang praised the Bulls very high before the game, and now everyone says that the Bulls are the strongest on paper, but they actually have a similar mentality to him.

The Bulls' lineup after the trade is very strong, but to say that their strength on paper is the strongest, Wu Huang and many people are actually pouting in their hearts to express disdain, but this does not prevent them from saying this all the time.

'We need a win, we've lost too much lately and now we have to adjust.' Rose's pre-match words showed that his EQ and IQ were not as high as he imagined, although he was not stupid, but at first glance he was not as smart as Wu Huang, how could he say that at this time?

If Wu Huang is in Rose's current position, he doesn't need to do anything at all, because the facts are already in front of him, after Anthony came, the Bulls' record has declined so seriously, and Rose's core position has already been stabilized.

Wu Huang originally planned to Anthony hard, but now there is no need to make another move, except for the Bulls fans, everyone is watching the Bulls' jokes at the moment, waiting to see how unlucky Anthony will be, he is also unwise to make another move, now just follow the big guy to watch.

The mentality of the fans is like this, which star is suddenly unlucky, then in addition to the fans of the star, other fans will be happy to see this rich guy continue to be unlucky, and the media will also be happy to report, and even fall into the ground, the essence is the same as watching the "gladiator" or "beastfighter" performance in ancient Rome.

Why do celebrities like to make some scandals for themselves? Why do people always humiliate themselves on talent shows? In fact, it is also aimed at this mentality of the people.

D'Antoni's pre-game setup was no different from any other team, and the most important thing was of course to separate Rose from Antony and not allow the two to be linked. Although even if they don't need to be specifically targeted, the two don't have many connections in the game, but they still have to be guarded, and who knows if the Knicks' sloppy defense will make these two connect successfully for the first time?

The Knicks' pre-game setup is more interesting, and the general team is mainly about how to defend, what to pay attention to, or to target someone...... But the Knicks are different, they mainly study how to break through the opponent's defense before the game, which guy who is not good at defense, and hit him until he can't take care of himself, etc......

And Anthony is the one who doesn't defend well and has to fight until he can't take care of himself. Of course, Anthony's single defense can't be said to be bad, but his rotation awareness and speed are really urgent, and as the team boss all year round, he is used to being filled by others, but his position in Thibodeau's defensive system needs to be filled by teammates, and he needs to have a fast rotation and defense awareness, but unfortunately Anthony does not have any conditions, and the Knicks do not play him.

Rose is indeed more active than Anthony on the defensive end, every time Wu Huang breaks through this opponent, as long as someone blocks him for half a second, this guy is sure to be able to chase the defense from behind, and the secondary defense ability is very outstanding, which is also the basic work that all the Bulls must do on the outside - you can be broken through, but you must turn around for a secondary defense, and at the same time, the nearest player must fill in for his teammates in time.

In the first quarter of the game, Iguodala and Gallinari did not give Anthony, a quasi-superstar, face at all, and took turns holding the ball to break through the melon like a minion, but it was not a one-on-one single, but an attack after blocking and dismantling. The current Knicks like to use pick-and-roll even when the No. 2 and No. 3 players break through, which can fully release the power of Xiaosi's pick-and-roll.

Boozer was in a terrible situation today, and he didn't need to make up for the leaks so often on the perimeter in the past, but since Anthony arrived, his workload has increased dramatically, which has made the anti-bony boy, who is also not so suitable for Thibodeau's defensive system, complain. In the past, he was helped by Rohr Deng and Brewer and others, but now he not only has to handle all the defensive tasks by himself, but also wipes Anthony's ass from time to time, which is really difficult for him, Boozer has long become another door for the Bulls, but everyone is busy with black Anthony and ignores him.

Some people who really understand the game can already see that although Rose and Anthony are not so compatible, the biggest conflict between the Bulls now is actually Boozer and Anthony. These two guys are only suitable for single defense, not suitable for the rotation of the auxiliary defense, the Bulls can only fill in the blanks for one of them at most, if you have to pay for two people together, then this defensive system will inevitably collapse!
