"What? It's still early before Christmas. As soon as he came in, he heard the good news and said with a smile.

"I am Aladdin's magic lamp, and today I can fulfill one wish for everyone, any wish." Xu Yong's void wiped the magic lamp.

"Can I want a pair of Satan's autographed sneakers?" Anderson asked tentatively.

Since playing last season, he is now completely obsessed with Xu Yong.

Xu Yong didn't say a word, he directly took off the new sneakers he had just changed in the morning, and then asked Butler to get a pen, sign his name and hand it over.

"Not only autographed, but also original."

Anderson happily accepted it, and it was out of print after a few years.

Now the others knew that Xu Yong was not joking.

"My wish is to use my ability to help the team in the new season and get a new championship ring." Butler said seriously.

Xu Yong nodded, Butler still had a heart.

"I'll take you to pick a car later." Xu Yong is a bold one.

And this is indeed what Butler needs, last season he was rubbing Xu Yong's car, and this season he bought a used car and is driving.

Then, Xu Yong looked at Kwame Brown.

"I want to join the Breakfast Club." Brown's wish surprised Xu Yong.

He glanced at Butler, who nodded, apparently telling Brown that they had a morning session.

"Yi's room belongs to you." Xu Yong simply nodded.

Yi Jianlian went to Dallas, and the room he had stayed in happened to be empty.

Speaking of which, Brown is only 30 years old this year, and he still has room for improvement.

And in fact, I can feel that by Xu Yong's side, he is enterprising.

It is also easy to understand that the reason why people fall is because they are confused and do not see hope.

Except for the little six months in Chicago, he was basically in that state the rest of the time.

Xu Yong finally looked at Xinrich.

"I don't have a heart." Hinrich laughed and shook his head.

Xu Yong didn't force it, Xin Li Qi is a veteran, and he has earned a lot of salary in his career, even if he has, he will not open his mouth at this time.

After leaving the training hall, Xu Yong took Butler to buy a new car, and made a phone call with a goggle company on the road.

Hinrich had to wear goggles to play last season because of a pupil injury he suffered in college, which would have been a nice gift.

After helping Butler choose a car, Xu Yong ended his busy life and lay down in bed to browse the house information.

Is he taking so much money and can't help but be a wealth boy?

The answer is clearly not.

The real reason is because his role is changing in the new season.

Despite frequent injuries to Rose and Yao Ming last season, the Bulls were still the core team of the three cores.

But in the new season, Rose was directly injured for a season, and Yao Ming didn't know how much he could play, which meant that the Bulls were a single-core team for a long time.

To avoid the ups and downs of last season's roster changes, he will have to transform from a front-running role to a leading general.

To put it in a very realistic way, even Xu Yong himself feels that it is very difficult to complete the dynasty, what will the rest of the team think?

Good times can cover up all problems, and bad times will expose problems.

Once the mentality of the players changes and the motivation decreases, the performance of the same lineup is completely different.

The Lakers are a case in point.

They have a full lineup, not to mention the current Bulls.

In this regard, Jordan gave Xu Yong a good example in the 1997~1998 season.

In that tumultuous season, the reason why the Bulls were still able to achieve 62 wins and complete the dynasty was that Jordan never fell.

Not only because of his strength, but also because of his unmatched position within the team, the Bulls have always been united around him.

And then as soon as he retired, the Bulls fell apart.

And in order to do that, Jordan actually did a lot, which can not be summed up in a sentence that is harsh on the training of his teammates.

Jordan sacrificed the ball during his second dynasty, sacrificed his stats, and only did what he was good at.

Including the ones he did off the field, preparing custom cigars for Pippen for Christmas, and then giving Ferrari sports cars.

These are all successful lessons that can be learned.

Of course, the current Bulls are very different from the original Bulls, and he can only learn from history and then grope forward.

"How to learn to be the boss of a team" is a new challenge he needs to face in addition to improving his skills in the new season.

……

The next day, the Bulls' training camp officially began.

It was here that Xu Yong met the rest of the team.

Because of the absence of the two cores at the beginning of the season, the Bulls lineup this year is also very different.

The first is the point guard, not only did Hinrich stay, but West also signed a one-year salary.

West's situation is somewhat similar to Anderson's, and he wants to stay and help the team make a run for the dynasty after getting a new lease on Chicago.

And unlike last season, Rose is injured, and he will have more playing time in the new season and a chance to get a long-term contract next summer.

In addition to that, the Bulls also drafted a point guard in this year's draft.

Jeff Teague's younger brother, Marquis Teague.

Teague is a teammate of Anthony Davis, who scored 14 points and 3 assists in the NCAA finals last season.

Foreman's idea is very clear, and last season the outside world said that he formed a team without considering the defender holding the ball, so he deliberately chose one.

However, Teague's shortcomings are also obvious, like Rivers and his son Rivers Jr., he can rush, but the finish is not good, and the projection is unstable.

So it's basically a third defender, and by the way, it's cultivated.

The second is the interior, where Asik was poached by the Hornets, and in addition to Brown and Anderson, the team also signed Troy Murphy with a veteran base salary.

Murphy was a starter-caliber player for both the Warriors and Pacers, and even two seasons ago he was averaging 14.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

It's just that when he came to the Nets, he suffered an injury and his strength declined, and he has been wandering for the past two years.

The only reason the Bulls value him is because he can shoot threes.

This is obviously signed by Yi Jianlian as a replacement after leaving, leaving a star-studded option for Thibodeau.

So let's take a look at the Bulls' lineup:

Point guards: Rose*, Hinrich, West, Teague

Quarterbacks: Seo Yong, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler

Small front: Artest, Battier

Ohmae: Gibson, Martin

Centres: Yao Ming*, Brown, Anderson, Murphy

Maybe after seeing the two lineups with the highest salary, Ling can better understand why Xu Yong did those things.

"Thank you." Xinrich thanked Xu Yong when he saw him.

He had received a whole trunk of glasses from the goggle company last night, in a variety of styles.

His veteran's heart was directly stirred.

It's not just a matter of money, it's about the heart, from the heart of the team's bosses.

It's like Jordan giving Pippen's cigar.

"If you have something you like, you can do it." Xu Yong has a lot of respect for the veterans of this team.

Hinrich's words are still the team's current locker room leader.

"Before I came, I saw the schedule for the new season come out." Thibodeau hadn't come yet, and Sinrich had also started a conversation with Xu Yong.

Xu Yong looked at Xin Liqi, who hadn't had time to pay attention to this.

"Our opponent in the opener is Indiana." Hinrich said meaningfully.

Xu Yong smiled, a little interesting.

"The alliance seems to be a bit aimed at us." Hinrich continued.

"What do you think?"

"In the past few years, we have basically played against LeBron's team every year, and Yao can't play at the beginning of this season, so when the championship ring is awarded, a weaker opponent should be arranged." Hinrich analyzed.

Xu Yong shook his head: "I think this is a signal that the league has given up on LeBron." ”

Hinrich was puzzled.

"LeBron and Dwight are not technical partners, and it will definitely take time to find a way to play that is comfortable with each other, just like LeBron did when he went to the Heat." Xu Yong analyzed.

"If they lose the opener, maybe it's a new cycle?" Hinrich took the call.

Xu Yong smiled and nodded, Xin Li Qi was still very smart.

Judging from the arrangement of the opening game in recent years, Stern has bound him to James.

Their matchups always attract a lot of fandom and can also raise the heat at the start of the season.

But since he entered the league, this is already the fourth year, and James has lost badly every time in the first three years.

If Stern really cares about the cub, he definitely can't do it again in the fourth year.

But now it's clear that Stern doesn't care about this at all for the sake of heat.

"But we may not win." Sinrich thought for a moment and shook his head again.

"Don't worry, with me, I can't lose." Xu Yong said calmly.

Hinrich nodded as he lifted the new goggles he had picked out in the morning.

Xu Yong is always confident and reassuring.

……

That night, Xu Yong began to pull Kwame Brown for defensive training.

In front of Hinrich, he must be confident.

But without Yao Ming, the Bulls are weaker than the Pacers in terms of strength, especially on the inside.

Although Howard has declined from his peak, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the inside configuration of beating the bulls is still in hand.

Then, he soon discovered that Brown was in poor shape.

In the past two years in Boston, he has not only made no progress, but even regressed.

Xu Yong directly turned on the heads-up mode.

"He's the champion, and you're the champion."

"You can hook your hand, and he can't even hook your hand."

"He plays with his body, and you're not worse than him physically."

"You're 2.11 meters, he's only 2.08 meters, get stuck and don't let him jump, he's a short man in front of you."

……

Xu Yong is going head-to-head with Brown, and he will spray a word at Brown before each attack.

Of course, it's obvious, not trash talk.

Jordan's beating pattern proved to work when it didn't work with Brown, and his boasting pattern in the previous half a year proved to be successful.

Then Xu Yong found that with every praise he made, Brown was in a better state.

Then when Xu Yong nodded in satisfaction after the fight, Brown actually squatted down and cried.

Xu Yong was stunned, and immediately understood.

Others are under-squirting, he is really under-boasting.

It's understandable when you think about it, in terms of the atmosphere of the Celtics, the personalities of Garnett and Pierce, Brown is estimated to be worse in the past two years than in the Wizards.

He walked over and reached out and patted Brown on the shoulder.

"You have to remember that you're going to be the starting center for the defending champion Bulls for the next three months." Xu Yong said earnestly.

Brown looked up, his eyes red, and nodded vigorously.

"Don't forget to train tomorrow morning." After reminding him, Xu Yong then left the training hall.

He's got to rest early tonight, and he's going to see the house tomorrow morning.

……

Before the start of the regular season, there is still more than half a month of pre-season.

The preseason has been dispensable for the Bulls in the past, but this year it has become important.

Jimmy Butler came out on top in the preseason.

His defensive attitude is the same as always, but his duels and skills have improved significantly from last season.

Of course, more importantly, he showed a three-point shot that was not very good, but not bad.

This made Thibodeau very happy.

Who would have thought that a first-round pick could make such a big improvement in sophomore years?

It's fair to say that in such a difficult season, that's a real promise.

Of course, in addition to Butler, Xu Yong's leadership also surprised him.

In his understanding, Xu Yong should have at least taken some time to adapt to the role change, but Xu Yong seemed to adapt to it all at once.

In terms of specific performance, he will find the form of his teammates in the opening game, and only after finding that he can't open the situation will he come out to take over the situation.

And when a teammate has a problem, he will also take the initiative to communicate, and the key is to communicate effectively.

"Is this really a 23-year-old?"

After the pre-season game, Thibodeau was constantly thinking about a doubt.

This surprised him even more than Xu Yong's performance in the finals last season.

But it's certainly a good thing for the Bulls.

In such a special season, Xu Yong's change can undoubtedly play a role in fixing the sea.

It was during the preseason that Xu Yong bought his first property, a estate in the upper reaches of the Chicago River, worth 25 million.

The estate has an indoor area of more than 5,000 square meters and an outdoor area of 2.9 hectares, with a total of 9 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a basketball court, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a gym and a cinema.

In addition to the large size of the house and the complete furnishings, another feature of the estate is that the estate also has a private marina facing Lake Michigan.

This means that if needed, Xu Yong can take a private yacht directly to downtown Chicago.

There are no shortcuts in basketball, but as long as you have money, you can have shortcuts along the way.

Of course, although he bought a house, most of the time Xu Yong still lived in the house he rented in the city center.

Because it's convenient for training and competitions, he only goes back to his house on his days off.

Of course, he didn't have to think about safety and hygiene at all, it was all hired security and cleaning.

……

It's the end of October, and with the pre-season coming to an end, the footsteps of the new season are getting closer and closer.

It was also at this time that ESPN, as in previous years, conducted a wave of rankings on the strength of each team in the new season.

In this list, the Lakers, Thunder, and Heat are in the top three.

The rankings of these three teams are largely uncontroversial.

But then came the ranking controversy, as the Pacers came in fourth place ahead of the Mavericks and Bulls.

This can't help but make people sigh, the ESPN column editor of the flowing water, the iron-clad James.

Even if David Stern is about to give up on James, they will still stick to James.

No way, who told Nike to throw so much money at James and treat him like the number one card all the time?

As for the Bulls, ESPN compared them to the Lakers in the 10~11 season.

The regular season started immediately, and Jordan came to Chicago at this time.

In addition to witnessing the Bulls' 8th championship, the more important thing is the sneaker issue that he talked to Xu Yong before.

Xu Yong invited Jordan to visit his estate, and the two sat on a chair by the basketball court and talked about it.

Xu Yong's appeal is actually relatively simple, he wants to develop a new sub-brand under AJ, just like AJ and Nike did at the beginning.

Of course, the way of VAM agreements.

Jordan was still very surprised by Xu Yong's request.

Not only because of Xu Yong's proposal, but also because of the mentality when he said it.

Jordan can fully feel that if AJ does not agree, Xu Yong will switch to other sneaker manufacturers when his contract expires next year.

This feeling of his was also quickly confirmed, because Xu Yong did not hide it from him.

If AJ doesn't want to do that, then he'll turn to domestic sponsors.

"You have a big appetite." Jordan gave a very intuitive evaluation of Xu Yong's appeal.

"Michael, you are my idol, but idols are all meant to be chased and surpassed." Xu Yong did not hide his ambition in the slightest.

After winning the Olympic title, his mentality is also changing.

Because when he was reborn, he wanted to make up for his regrets, and now that all his regrets have been made up, then he naturally wants more.

Surpassing Jordan became his new goal.

That's a big reason why he was able to change his mindset so quickly before training camp started.

He has the advantage of being a reborn and can do things on the shoulders of giants many times.

So even if Jordan is a little inferior in talent, he still has this opportunity.

And to do this, he can't always be under AJ, a brand named after Jordan, in sneaker endorsements.

Jordan laughed directly.

Not a laugh, but a knowing laugh.

With this undisguised ambition and self-confidence, he seems to have seen himself negotiating with Nike.

"I'll bring your thoughts." Jordan smiled and nodded, he only contacted Xu Yong first, AJ is not really running.

Xu Yong stood up and took a ball from the basket.

"Come?" He extended an invitation to Jordan.

Since the battle in the training gym that year, he has never fought Jordan alone.

If it were the past, Jordan would probably not agree, after all, his competitive spirit, the process of recovering his body and physical strength is indispensable.

But this time, perhaps because he felt Xu Yong's ambition of Chi Guoguo, he took off his coat and went directly to the court.

……

United Center.

The scene was packed.

The season opener is also another year of championship ring award ceremony.

Xu Yong received his second championship ring from Rauhensdorf.

Somewhat similar to last year, this championship ring also has a number on it, but instead of last year's "7" to this year's "8".

The Bulls' market has not only recovered in the past two years, but has even expanded, which has increased Lawnsdorf's investment in the team a lot.

After all, there is no chance of starting over in life, and the team's collapse after losing Jordan finally made him know to cherish the people in front of him.

Butler also got his championship ring.

However, this guy kissed and rubbed and kissed there, and was disgusted by Xu Yong.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a special guest who came to the scene tonight, Peja Stojakovic.

Although he was cut at the end of last season, the Bulls still opted to issue his championship ring reissued.

The Serbian legend also got a happy ending in the final moments of his career.

As for Ross Barkley, it is a pity that he missed the championship ring, after all, it was just the ridicule of fans on social media.

That is, after the ring presentation ceremony, the photographer on the scene was very naughty to give a close-up of James.

Two words of envy written in a capital on James' face.

However, when he looked up and saw himself on the big LED screen, he instantly changed to a serious and cold expression.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both sides were released one after another.

Pacers: George Hill, Jason Richardson, James, Antoine Jamison, Howard.

Bulls: Hinrich, Seo, Artest, Gibson, Kwame Brown.

Although James failed to join the Mavericks as he wished, the Mavericks' previous trade still gave them benefits, the Spurs could not keep Hill because of Green's contract, and the Pacers took him with a five-year, 40 million contract.

Hill is similar to Hinrich at his peak, with a three-point shooting rate of nearly 40%, a considerable level of defense relying on excellent arm span, a league-level organization, and even excellent breakthrough speed as a two-way guard, who can rely on his individual ability to hold the ball and attack.

In terms of fit, he is the most suitable point guard for James among non-All-Star players.

In addition to this, the Pacers also signed veteran Antoine Jamison to a two-year, $6 million contract (with a team option for the second year).

This is also the second time that Jamison and James have worked together.

Since James left in 2010, Jamison has been brushing up on the Cavaliers, averaging 17.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, but his 40.3% shooting percentage shows that the 36-year-old no longer has the ability to be the core of the offense.

But being able to brush up on such data shows that his competitive condition is still very good, especially his technical characteristics can open up the offensive space on the court, which is very suitable for James and Howard.

From these signings, it can be seen that Pritchard does have some ability.

Before going on the court, Xu Yong pulled Brown to him.

"him!" After punching Brown in the chest, Xu Yong's eyes showed a fierce light.

The starters of both sides appeared, and it was at this time that Xu Yong noticed that James did not throw magnesium powder.

"He said he was ripe and would never throw magnesium powder again." Just then, Hinrich spoke.

Xu Yong turned his head to look at Xinrich, and then remembered what Xinrich said before, you old guy is very concerned about James?

But on second thought, Hinrich is also in 03, and with the grudges between the Bulls and the Heat in the past two years, this seems quite normal.

He then looked at James.

Mature king? He'd heard it before he was reborn, and tonight was a long time to see.

"Toot!"

As the whistle blew on the sidelines, Howard took to the air to flick the ball back to the Pacers halfcourt, and the game officially began.

Hill held the ball, and after the others pulled away, Howard was in the low post ready to hold the ball alone.

Xu Yong was playing against Richardson on the defensive end at this time, because Rose and Yao Ming were not there, and Thibodeau would not let him put too much energy into the defensive end.

He wasn't surprised when he saw the Pacers' selection, or from his special training session with Brown, he had anticipated what would happen when the two sides played each other.

Because the head coach of the Pacers is Frank Vogel.

All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence, just like Mike Malone, the "Daddy of the Lakers", was the chief assistant coach of the Bulls at this time, Vogel, the head coach who led the Lakers to the park championship in history, became the head coach of James at this time.

The difference, of course, is that he came to Indiana in 2007 and became head coach in 2010, and he came first.

All in all, Vogel is the only head coach among James' many coaches who has online ability and has a good relationship with him.

This man is characterized by a focus on defense, efficiency and discipline, and then he has a very sleek personality and is very good at dealing with stars, and it seems that he has indeed coaxed James and Howard well.

Howard was quite happy to receive the ball in the low post.

As a center who has beaten James and thinks he is the No. 1 center in the league, he is full of arrogance at this time, and he can attack before James in the opening game, so don't be too happy.

Of course, what made him twice happier was that Yao Ming didn't play on the Bulls' side, and tonight was destined to be a night when he turned the river and the sea on the inside.

Catching the ball, rushing down the center of gravity, pouting his ass, he directly arched Brown.

"Bang! Bang! ”

There was a muscular battle under the basket, and then he soon found himself completely unable to stand up to Brown.

Brown's height of 2.11 meters, his arm span of 2.16 meters, and his weight of about 125 kilograms are like a rock.

The Chicago fans in the scene have already started to blow their whistles.

Brown's body was the main factor in his selection as the No. 1 pick that year, and the only reason why he was almost useless on the offensive end, but he still had a non-stop contract.

Howard finally barely turned around and hooked his hand, straight up and down, and the basketball smashed stiffly onto the basket, and then Brown managed to protect the defensive rebound and raised it over his head.

This is a habit he developed when he was with the Bulls, which can effectively prevent him from being stolen because he has a small hand to win rebounds, but the disadvantage is that it affects the team's fast break.

The Bulls advanced to the frontcourt to play position.

Xu Yong holds the ball with his back to the high post, holds the ball in one hand, and then waits for his teammates to run.

Artest was borrowing Brown's cover for the run, and he was now theoretically the Bulls' second-leading scorer.

It was at this time that James and Howard made a mistake in communication on the defensive end, and both went to save Artest.

Seeing this, Xu Yong threw the ball directly into the air above the basket.

Over there, Brown took a big stride and was led by the ball and jumped up.

"Bang!"

Who is not a champion yet, Brown scored with a dunk in the air!

One offense and one defense in the opening game, Brown VS Howard round.1, Brown wins.

Brown ran to Xu Yong and gave a happy high-five, looking excited.

When he was with the Celtics, Rivers knew he was buttery, and he completely ignored him on the offensive end.

But Xu Yong, only Xu Yong, as he did two years ago, will throw him an empty catch.

Turning around, Howard continued to receive the ball in the low post, and this time he switched to the basket.

Swing the ball from side to side, then dribble to the side of the free throw line and then jump.

If you can't sit and fight, then move and fight, he still has a very good choice.

After all, he also practiced with Olajuwon back then.

It's just that Brown had just seen his clumsy hook hand, completely ignoring his near-basket threat, and went straight under the basket, waiting for him to finish jumping before pressing his whole body forward.

Then something awkward happened.

According to the normal rhythm, Howard should have flipped Brown with force after jumping, and staged a violent abuse of the basket with both hands.

This is also his forte when facing most of the other centers except Yao Ming in his prime.

But now, he couldn't get up.

In the end, he reluctantly made a shot and was caught by Brown and came directly to a big hot pot.

Brown vs Howard round.2, Brown wins, and it is a complete victory.

Now the United Center is directly boiling.

Kwame: I'm Warcraft Brown!

Brown also roared excitedly after the block.

To be honest, although Xu Yong kept praising him, saying that he had but not many advantages over Howard, he still lacked confidence in his heart, after all, he had not been against Howard.

But after these two rounds, he found that Howard is now just like US imperialism, a paper tiger!

Not to mention Brown, most people on the scene were surprised by the result.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if Howard leaves the Magic, he won't even be able to beat Brown.

Probably the only one who is not so unexpected is Xu Yong.

As a reborn, he knew that Howard's decline began this season, and it was a cliff.

This can be seen from the confrontation round just now.

Although Brown's body is one size bigger than Howard, Howard himself is a short center, and at his peak he can overturn the interior line that is bigger than Brown.

The main reason is still injuries.

Howard's back injury began to appear last season, and not only did he not get better after playing with the injury, but he also suffered a back injury.

A man's waist is a key factor in strength.

Once this waist is not good, then when you play, you will have more than enough strength and not enough strength.

It was also after the sideline ball was sent out that James began to hold the ball.

Then, he beckoned Howard to pick up the pick-and-roll.

Howard really came up.

This was somewhat unexpected by Xu Yong.

But after thinking about it, James didn't take the ball at the beginning, but was willing to let Howard attack first, most likely because Howard would give him a block and a pick-and-roll.

Vogel does have a knack for dealing with star relationships.

Howard is naturally able to block and dismantle, and when he is really willing to put down his body to block and dismantle, his blocking and dismantling effect is superb, and the starting style of the Magic offense back then was Tekoglu and his blocking.

He completely blocked Artest, and James quickly passed Brown and rushed to the basket.

Brown is struggling to catch up behind him, and he's very motivated right now.

However, James knocked the ball back after breaking to the basket.

Howard also followed at this time, and jumped up directly after receiving the ball comfortably.

"Bang!"

Two-handed violence ends.

After the dunk, Howard swung around the basket and vented his opening frustration.

Xu Yong walked up to Artest at this time, and there was a moment of exchange, mainly to remind him to pay attention to the demolition of Howard.

There's something about this fit just now.

Although James and Howard are not very compatible with each other in terms of technical characteristics, they are obviously not incompatible.

James' ability to misalign after the protrusion, as well as his passing vision, combined with Howard's ability to move the frame, can make for an ornamental round like the one just now.

Of course, Howard doesn't have the ability to shoot outside, so this kind of coordination is relatively easy to target.

In the Bulls' round, Xu Yong continued to hold the ball high.

At this time, affected by the wonderful cooperation just now, the Pacers' defensive enthusiasm has improved significantly, and the Bulls' off-ball tactics have no chances.

Seeing this, Xu Yong was not ambiguous, turned directly to the three-point line, and dribbled the ball into the basket with his left hand.

Richardson didn't react at all.

He is no longer the dunk king of the year because of a knee injury, you must know that his so-called big contract with the Magic is actually only six million a year, and he is only 31 years old, which is still the golden age for the swingman at the guard, but the Magic team treated him as a garbage contract to the Pacers.

Of course, more importantly, Xu Yong used his left hand for this ball, which Richardson didn't expect at all.

Xu Yong's left hand training time is short, and the offensive end can't be used to finish, but the dribble has a certain foundation, and this ball is a surprise win.

Howard was a little excited when he just dunked the basket, and when he saw Xu Yong coming in and throwing off Brown, he was about to block Xu Yong.

But he was clearly overexcited.

Xu Yongkong changed his hand from his left hand to his more familiar right hand, and he ...... sideways

"Bang!"

Slammed the ball into the basket.

Howard likes to mention a gold backdrop.

At this time, the fans of the United Center were completely overwhelmed.

Who says the Bulls can't defend their title this season? It's been an exciting start!

Jordan's ribs ached at this point.

Yesterday, Xu Yong and he went head-to-head, but they didn't hold back at all.

Although he didn't really break his ribs like Artest back then, the confrontation passed through the thick layer of fat, making his old bones a little unbearable.

And he realized that he might have really underestimated Xu Yong.

Xu Yong may still be inferior to him and Kobe Bryant in terms of technical comprehensiveness, but he is very close to his peak in terms of individual technical ability.

This also explains why G6 Xu Yong was able to enter the white-hot space last season.

And with this new understanding, he felt that he might indeed have to discuss the matter of the independent sub-brand with the people of AJ.

As long as this guy doesn't get hurt, the money is limitless.

On the court, James continued to play blocking and dismantling with Howard, and this time Artest directly chose to go around the back.

But at this moment, James decisively chose a dry pull-up jumper, and then, the ball went in.

This is really a bit unexpected.

Xu Yong also realized that after James hit the bottom, he also began to rebound.

After all, if James can't prove himself when he is sent to Indiana, then maybe the Cavaliers don't have to have him at that time.

won the championship, that is to go home, return to the hometown; But nothing came of it, and Cleveland didn't want a wandering monarch.

And in the past two years, James' shooting rate in the past two years has been a super-phenomenal 56%+, and his three-point shooting rate has also exceeded 40%.

Even if he has the same brush ingredients as Jamison, this efficiency shows that his personal condition is also in the best stage of his career.

In this case, the blocking and dismantling of these two people is really a bit difficult to guard.

It's not easy to defend, Xu Yong's choice is to get the score back on the offensive end.

After touching Richardson's defensive level in the last round, he held the ball and struck two hard shots, which successfully attracted Jamison's pinch from behind him.

Vogel's defense is not only a one-man player, but also emphasizes team efficiency.

But Xu Yong was waiting for this time, he turned around directly and passed the ball to Gibson on the bottom line.

Gibson received the ball, and after seeing Brown firmly stuck Howard behind him this time, he strode inside and easily slammed the ball into the basket.

Jordan was even more surprised.

Because he suddenly had a feeling that it took him eight years to understand how to be the boss of a team, but Xu Yong seemed to learn it in one summer.

Playing against the Thunder last season, including G6 in the Finals, Xu Yong used crazy scoring to help the team win when Rose and Yao Ming were absent.

But that crazy solo performance is contingent and irreproducible.

But now, Xu Yong is not only still brave in his individual attack, but also uses his offensive threat to create opportunities for his teammates and mobilize them.

In this way, teammates can touch the ball on the offensive end, and they are always motivated on the court.

And mobilizing the enthusiasm of teammates is the key to being the boss of a team.

If you keep holding the ball like everyone else and your teammates follow you back and forth, then if you don't get a big contract for your teammates, they will be the first to disrespect you.

But as long as it is done, the team will not be sustainable, and even if it succeeds once, the team's subsequent competitiveness will fall off a cliff.

The more the fans watched, the more excited they became, ESPN didn't seem to underestimate the strength of the Pacers this year, but the Bulls were clearly underestimated.

Xu Yong's leadership skills have made the Bulls competitive.

They are not the Lakers of the 10~11 season, but more like the Bulls of the 97~98 season!

However, the Pacers' pick-and-roll continued, and this time Howard's strong attack after receiving the ball caused Artest to pull and was sent to the free throw line.

Xu Yong looked up at the score, then adjusted his position with Artest and went to the side of the free throw line.

"You're still so brave in your pick-and-roll." Before Howard made a free throw, Xu Yong turned his head to communicate with him in the air.

Howard showed his trademark sunny smile when he heard this, and it was still a very happy thing to be recognized by Xu Yong.

"Ignore him." James was opposite Xu Yong at this time, and immediately opened his mouth to remind Howard.

From the selection on the court to the reaction at this time, James is indeed as mature as Hinrich said.

But Xu Yong's words didn't stop.

When Howard took the ball and was about to make the first free throw, Xu Yong continued to speak: "But you have fallen, you actually blocked and dismantled your subordinates." ”

……

ps: People have been uncomfortable for the past two days, and I'm going to go to the hospital tomorrow to check it, and there will be an update, but there may not be 10,000 words.
