In addition to Wang Jun, there are four players in the east who scored double-doubles.

James had 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists; Wade shot 7-of-8 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 16 points and five assists; Billups 15 points and 7 assists; O'Neal finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and four assists on 7-of-9 shooting and 3-of-5 free throws.

Iverson, who averaged 33 points per game, played abnormally, shooting 3-of-10 from the field and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring only 8 points and 2 assists.

Kobe Bryant in the West performed similarly badly, shooting 4-of-11 and 0-of-5 three-pointers, scoring 8 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

Maddy scored a game-high 36 points, had no rebounds, dished out two assists, and shot 15-of-26 from the field, including 4-of-10 three-pointers.

The West lost on long-range shooting, except for Maddy who scored 4 three-pointers, no one hit long-range shots, Ray Allen shot 0 of 7, Kobe Bryant shot 0 of 5, and Nowitzki shot 0 of 3.

Eastern Conference three-pointers Wang Jun was 5-of-8, Billups was 2-of-5, and James was 4-of-10. Wallace and Arenas had poor hands, and their 11 three-pointers were far better than the poor 4-of-26 shooting in the East.

The annual All-Star Game came to a successful conclusion, and the only regret was that Maddie couldn't win the MVP at home.

Along with the Pistons trio, Wang Jun is known as a player who doesn't understand the amorous feelings. The three defenders worked very hard, and Wang Jun was a serious player who received the ball and shot, did not perform, and was very efficient.

James scored the most points and won the MVP, and two of the 2003 class have become stars among stars.

But O'Neal was the most popular in the audience, and his performance exemplified the nature of the All-Star Game. She grimaced, pulled up to the basket, passed through the crotch, and threw and dunked free throws, all full of entertainment.

What everyone wants to see at the All-Star Game is O'Neal's performance. If the MVP could be decided by the audience, O'Neal would definitely be elected.

That night, Wang Jun and his teammates flew back to Chicago, and Abby went to Cleveland to continue her work. She just did an interview with James, she has to sort out the press release tomorrow, and she is busy to death on the weekend.

Many teams have games on the 21st. In contrast, Wang Jun was lucky, playing against the Bucks at home on the 22nd, at least he didn't have to fly to the field to meet his teammates.

Wang Jun was a little tired, only scored 26 points, and shot 2 of 7 three-pointers, which was not good.

Hinrich finally played well, shooting 10-of-17, 2-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line. He finished with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

The two led the team to a 97-89 victory over the Bucks.

The next day, the Bulls lost again to the Pistons.

This season, the Pistons have become the Bulls' nemesis. They are good at defending a certain star, and so far this season, no star has scored 40+ against the Pistons, and Wang Jun only scored 26 points this time.

In the face of Wang Jun passing a lot of balls again and again, the feeling of his teammates made him collapse, and Luo Er Deng couldn't do three points. The mid-pitch is not allowed in this one, and Nocioni is also sleepwalking.

Christie came off the bench to play six minutes. Nothing played. Hinrich was supposed to be a reliable three-pointer, but he shot 4-of-12, 1-of-6 from three-point range, and missed multiple open jumpers.

In the matchup with Billups, Hinrich was at the bottom across the board.

The facts are in front of us, and Hinrich is not convinced. Not to mention competing with Wang Jun for the boss, even if Billups is in the Bulls, he can squeeze him to the second position, he is only suitable for being the second leader, and his ability is not too strong.

The Pistons' offense wasn't weak either. More points bloomed, and the substitutes Delfino, McDyce, and Morris Evans all played a role, unlike the Larry Brown era, where the five starters played an average of 35 to 40 minutes per game, and the substitutes played 6 to 10 minutes to watch the excitement.

Wang Jun's data in the two games decreased slightly, and the gap with Kobe Bryant opened up a little more.

The 24th is the trade deadline, and Bulls general manager John? Paxson is ready to get another guy from the free market, Piakowski.

Piakowski is so bad that he doesn't play much except for three-point opportunities to open up, playing 29 games this season, and then waiting to be activated in the injury list and not in the squad. He didn't have an injury, but the coaching staff had lost patience with him.

He's not as good as the non-draft NBA fringe guard Janero? Pargo, at least Pargo can break through and shoot the basketball, although the shooting percentage is not high.

There are no strongmen in the free market, and the only one who has a role to play is Matt? Barnes can defend, and after being cut by the Knicks, he joined the 76ers on a free transfer.

Soon, the bulls found a good option.

The Rockets cut veteran Joan Barry.

The 37-year-old averaged 4.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17 minutes per game, and he scored an impressive 24 points against the Kings.

In order to strengthen the defense, the Rockets traded Baxter for defensive shooting guard Bogans, and Barry no longer has a place.

His ability has dropped significantly from last season, where he averaged 6.6 points and 2.4 assists while shooting 43 percent from three-point range.

The Barry family is good at shooting, and even this season, he has a 37.5% three-point shooting rate, and he basically doesn't shoot three-point shots.

Rocket Maddie and Yao Ming were injured in turn, and their ability to attract defense was not enough, so Barry didn't have so many easy shots, and it was different to the Bulls, his three-point ability could help the team, and the defense was also experienced, and no matter how bad the defense was, it was better than Piakowski, and it wouldn't mess around.

In this way, Skals does not need to think about putting Hinrich and Dujon in the back, and the defense often has problems.

Barry has always been a great role player, and since he joined the league in 1992, he has not played a few starts, and he has not played more than 25 minutes per game, but he has always had a job, which is a miracle.

To put it bluntly, he is good at being a role player, and he is a superb trick, with a career three-point shooting rate of 39.2%.

After consulting with the scout, the head coach, Paxson contacted Barry's agent.

Barry was ready to retire after being cut, and he was very happy to receive an invitation from the Bulls and immediately expressed his willingness to join with a base salary.

The Rockets are terrible, there is basically no hope of the playoffs this year, and the Bulls are indeed a powerhouse in the East and can play in the playoffs. Any veteran, there is no one who doesn't want to play in the playoffs, and luck can still mix rings before retirement.

The probability of the Bulls winning the championship is very low, but experts analyze that they are still likely to be in the dark to the end, and the final result depends on whether Wang Jun's performance is stable and whether the psychological quality of the young players is excellent.

The Bulls players are not short of hard work, as long as the playoff mentality is unbalanced, they are a strong team.

Paxson's request to Barry is simple, go up and play for a few minutes when needed, and usually bring the newcomers in training to teach them to better adjust their condition. Inconsistency is a big problem for the Bulls right now.

After receiving a response, the Bulls announced layoffs, abandoning Piakowski, a small forward on air-level defense.

The Bulls don't plan to change their roster this season, and the 14-man roster is finalized as follows.

Center: Tyson? Chandler, Chuck? Hayes, Brian? Grant.

Power forwards: David Lee, Marrick? Aaron, Darius? Sangeira.

Small forwards: Lore Deng, Nocioni.

Shooting guards: Jun Wang, Christie, Joan Barry.

Point guards: Hinrich, Dujon, Pargo.
