Auden contacted the Bulls' medical team directly, and the team physician, Brian Cole, is a well-known expert in Chicago.

After learning about Oden's situation, Brian thought about it repeatedly and suggested that there was only a cushion insoles. Auden may have exclusive sneakers in the future, but it can't be one tall and one short designed by Nike, right?

If the management does not announce this to the public, Oden's image will not be affected, but when he is scheduled to play in the new season, Skels should be careful not to make him too tired.

With Chandler, David Lee and others sharing playing time, Oden is certainly not tired.

Skeles didn't want to give him too much of the ball at all, and he had to watch for a while, and he must have been used as a blue-collar worker in the early stage.

On Sept. 28, the Bulls held a media day with the players on the court.

When taking promotional photos, you can see the importance that the Bulls management attaches to Oden, and the core four are Oden, Chandler, Lewis and Wang Jun.

The four laughed very happily, three were happy to win the championship before, and Oden was happy to join the Bulls. The Bulls are still the favourites to win the championship this season, and he may be able to get a ring as soon as he enters the league.

The players were interviewed by reporters.

The reporter asked about Wang Jun's vacation, known as a training maniac, he has been away from basketball for two months, and some people are worried that he will not be able to guarantee his condition.

"Don't worry, I'm healthy, even though I haven't played much. But I've reached a whole new level of fitness in every way, and I've been practicing with LeBron for two weeks. Everyone has made progress in master's moves, which is more effective than practicing alone. ”

The reporter asked: "Are you confident of defending your title again in the new season?" ”

"Of course. All the players in our squad are very talented and we have only one goal for the new season, which is to win the third crown and build a dynasty. ”

Wang Jun also commented on several new signings, mainly praising Hill, believing that Hill will be of great help to the team.

Auden is very talented and needs to be trained.

Calderon Wang Jun is also more optimistic, the two have competed many times in the NBA and the international arena, and this kind of stable guard is not easy to find.

The reporter interviewed Lewis and asked: "You gave up the maximum salary offered by the Magic to stay with the team in the summer. Is it a championship? ”

"Yes, I had a lot of fun playing with the Bulls and working well with my teammates. I talked to the manager and wanted to stay. Although the salary cap is good, I would prefer to play in a super team until I retire, which must be wonderful. ”

Lewis is smart and doesn't want to be traded anymore if he stays on the team, so he shows his loyalty first.

When he gets old, he will take a salary cut to renew his contract, if he gets a few more rings. Maybe I might be able to retire my jersey.

Auden was also the focus of the press day, and he was very modest as a newcomer.

The reporter asked: "What height do you expect to reach in the future?" ”

"I'm just in the league, there's a lot to learn and I'm going to try to fit in," Oden said. Help the team. ”

The champion is low-key to this extent, there is no news to dig up, if Auden says a few more words. The media may also hype him and Chandler to compete for starters and the like, see now. He's likely to start as a role player.

The next day was an open training session and Oden was assigned to the bench. New veteran Hill replaces Rohr Deng as the starting small forward, while Dujon becomes the starting point guard.

Barnes worked very hard to defend Wang Jun, but the effect was average, Wang Jun showed his progress like people, broke through the dunk many times after blocking and dismantling, and abused David Lee and Oden a lot.

Oden has seen the quality of NBA stars, and his good defense in the NCAA does not mean that he can dominate in the NBA. He doesn't have many ways to meet an outside line of Wang Jun's level, and his defensive experience is even less so.

On the offensive end, Oden's performance was quite eye-catching, showing off his hook hands on both sides, and there were also two empty cut dunks after blocking and dismantling. On the defensive end, he has no problem defending alone, but the opponent is Chandler, and the average blue-collar worker can also defend it.

There are no contracts, and the players who have signed preseason agreements with the Bulls have appeared and performed hard, but none of them are particularly impressive.

Only Calderon played very well among point guards, he was particularly organized, passed the ball from close range, waited for opportunities on the perimeter, and scored two three-pointers.

On the defensive end, Calderon is not useless, he is not afraid of misalignment, his body is not inferior to Kidd, but the defensive speed guard is poor, and it is easy to be passed by one step.

Hill does not attack with the ball, runs without the ball, has a high shooting percentage, and his height and reach on the defensive end can interfere with the shot, which is not a weakness, and perfectly replaces the position of Rohr Deng.

After the open practice, the fans were reassured that the Bulls were not getting weaker.

After a few days of training, the coaching staff decided to start Oden and Chandler to come off the bench to build up their confidence.

Oden's defensive awareness was outstanding in college, but it was still a bit worse than Chandler, who was on the All-Defensive Team.

Oden, like many young players, is too fond of jumping, and when he sees his opponent burst in, his first thought is to block rather than raise his arms close to him to interfere.

The "King of Fighters" defended better, and in the second quarter, he partnered with David Lee with a substitute, which can complement each other.

Chandler's average of less than two blocks per game in a single season is due to his style, and as a spring man, he doesn't jump around.

On the offensive end, Oden is a little better than Chandler, with a certain level of hook hand, relying on his height and reach to score the ball in the low post. However, the Bulls' offense is mainly on the outside, and covering is the top priority on the inside.

Skyles wouldn't have arranged for Oden to play a lob on the periphery just because he was the champion, so could Wang Jun and Lewis be watching the excitement outside and letting a rookie take the lead?

The positional three-point tactic is the basis of the Bulls' two championships, and it doesn't make sense to waste martial arts to score two points.

Therefore, Oden's position in the Bulls is also a little embarrassing, he is used as a blue-collar when he plays, and the number of shots in the new season will definitely not be much.

David Lee was better offensively than Oden, and there were not many opportunities to make a single shot, and Oden could only change the time he had in college for the whole thing.

After the start of the preseason, Oden did not play particularly well, only playing 20 minutes per game, and the efficiency was not low, after the cover, Wang Jun attracted the defense, and passed him to be either empty or misplaced, and he easily dunked without pressure many times.

Wang Jun wants to run in with a few new teammates, and he also wants to practice breakthrough skills, so he takes the initiative to ask Ying not to miss the preseason, and the playing time is not short, with an average of 30 minutes per game.

Calderón also played for a long time, dribbling the ball across the half, and waiting for opportunities on the periphery after passing the ball to Wang Jun. The coaching staff decided to start him, and Dujon continued to come off the bench.

STANDING 191CM TALL, CALDERON ALSO HAS AN ADVANTAGE IN DEFENDING AND PASSING, HE CAN EASILY PASS TO HIS TEAMMATES AND PROTECT THE BALL EASILY.

Skels felt that he had picked up a treasure this time, except for defense, Calderon was no worse than Hinrich in other aspects, he was an underrated guard, and he was suppressed by TJ Ford in the Raptors, and he didn't play good statistics after playing for a short time.

Hill, Barnes, and Lewis didn't play for long, and the Bulls still won all the preseasons.

Oden suddenly felt that it was easy to win, and the pressure was greatly reduced. He is a role player in the Bulls system, and it is almost effortless, as long as he helps Wang Jun file people, cut and wait for passes.
