Fresh out of the beating of tough rivals the Warriors, the Bulls will start a devilish schedule with four games in five days, and the opponents are all tough to gnaw on. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Four games in five days is very difficult for a team, and it has been the case more than once in a season. Many players have a stomach full of bitterness for this situation, because such a schedule is often potentially dangerous for a player, and even a superman player like James can't stand it, and often chooses to rotate in some games.

The NBA management is also helpless to a certain extent about the development of the schedule, and in the context of 82 games per team and a fixed season length, they have developed a schedule that can best take care of the interests of each team, but four games in five days are really essential.

Speaking of schedules, first of all, the NBA's schedule for each season is not made by a single team, and for more than three decades, NBA Vice President Winnick has relied almost exclusively on one person and a computer to do the work. It is truly shocking that such a huge project could be completed by a single person. There is a fixed schedule for any team's 82 games, as follows: 1. Play 4 games each against the other 4 teams in the division, for a total of 16 games. 2. Play 4 games each against 6 teams from outside the division and in the league (East or West), for a total of 24 games. Every 5 years, these 6 teams start to rotate. 3. Play 3 games against the remaining 4 teams in your league, for a total of 12 games. 4. Play 2 games each against the opposing league teams, for a total of 30 games.

Second, some specific game requirements from the NBA's official body: Christmas War; All-Star Game; NCAA Knockout Finals (no games scheduled)

Thirdly, teams can offer three days they want to play at home depending on their home schedule, whether it's because of marketing, box office boosts, or city promotion, which are good reasons. But each team can only offer three priority days to play at home, and they can't pick opponents.

Fourth, consider the situation between East and West, which often requires long travel. So, if an Eastern team can't play at home for 8-10 days, it's best to have them fly to the west. And if it's just for a day or two, there will be other schedules.

According to Winnick's UX data, the maximum amount a team can sustain in a season is 23 back-to-backs and four five-day, four-game fixtures. So, no matter what time it is, Winnick won't let any team outperform the numbers above in terms of the number of tough fixtures.

But the four-game game in five days will certainly be reduced, but it will not disappear unless the NBA league can extend the season, but don't forget that the league also has a strong organization, the players' union.

Not much to say.

Four games in five days is difficult, but each team has its own strategy, and they tend to give their core players one or two games off.

According to Thibodeau's opinion, against the Spurs at home, the team should go all out to win, after all, the Spurs are the favorites to win the championship every year. Away against the Pacers, because it is about the direction of the playoffs, the Bulls must also go all out. Next away against the Thunder and home against the Rockets, Thibodeau wanted Sun Xiaotian to take turns to rest the game against the Thunder, but when discussing with Sun Xiaotian, Sun Xiaotian wanted to play in the game against the Thunder because he was eager for a matchup with Durant.

"If you want to fight him, wait until Christmas!"

Because the Bulls will face off again with the Thunder at Christmas.

If Sun Xiaotian wants to face Durant is his personal will, then the league is also a major brand for their matchup this season. In the past two seasons, No. 35 vs. No. 6 was a topic of discussion in the league, and now the showdown between No. 35 has also become a topic of discussion in the league, and now Sun Xiaotian's absence will really disappoint fans.

-----------------

United Center!

Although this is Sun Xiaotian's third season, Sun Xiaotian has a lot to say about how he feels about playing against the Spurs. The rookie season finals defeated the mighty Spurs, which Sun Xiaotian will never forget. Today, the Spurs are basically still those people, and the only thing that has changed is the former team's fourth core, Leonard, who has officially taken over the position all season and has become the real core of the team. Last season, the Spurs made a comeback, marching all the way, cleanly taking out the Heat in the Finals, which directly led to the disintegration of the Heat Big Three. In the finals, Leonard was radiant and won the FMVP, even standing on the podium, Leonard still did not smile.

So far this season, the Spurs have an 8-2 record, which is as consistent as ever. Leonard became the team's leading scorer, averaging 17.5 points, seven rebounds and 3.5 steals per game. Popovich has already said this summer that this season's GDP trio will be fully assisted by Kawaii, and Kawaii's role in the team will become more and more heavy.

Leonard's rapid growth has been accompanied by a further aging of GDP, although most people are reluctant to admit it. Duncan is still efficient this season, but he is only averaging 13 points and 9 rebounds per game, a career low. Parker is averaging 14.5 points per game, while Ginobili is only about 11. Of course, as long as they are on the field, the fans are content.

It's a process that a team has to go through, just like life and death. GDP is the skeleton of the team, because they were too strong and held up the entire giant of the Spurs, so much so that it felt like the Spurs were indestructible. However, the bones are loose, and although the giant is still strong, his bones are declining, so it is so unstable to walk.

However, the players will get old, but the system will not get old. So far this season, the Spurs have relied on the strength of the system to minimize the negative effects of aging. He averaged 105 points per game and conceded just 95.5 points, the fewest in the league. Although the team's three treasures are old, the role players play well to make up for the three of them. The Spurs are averaging 48 points per game off the bench, a league-high high. In Popovich's words, "Every single one of us is ready to take over the game." ”

With Split out of the game due to a hip injury, Popovich put Aaron Baines in the starting line-up. Baines was a finding for the Spurs this season and is currently averaging seven points and five rebounds per game while shooting 60 percent from the field.

Spurs starting lineup: Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan and Baynes.

Bulls starting lineup: Rose, Sun Xiaotian, Butler, Gasol and Noah. (To be continued.) )
