On Oct. 12, at the Chicago Union Center, the Bulls host the New Orleans Hornets, who have just transitioned from an Eastern team to a Western team.

The Hornets were also a playoff team last season and are still above the Celtics in the East.

However, in tonight's game, the Bulls played a little easier than the Celtics.

Because the Hornets, under the leadership of Byron Davis, are also a team that focuses on fast breaks.

The two teams kept running back and forth, and the pace of the game was scary.

The Bulls Youth Army, although there are often people who make mistakes on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, under Doon's combing, they play more impressively.

The young players are also full of energy and have a posture that can't run to death.

The old Hornets ruffians who had just come back from vacation couldn't run a little after half a quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, 26-35, the Bulls took a nine-point lead.

In the second quarter, Doon still only played seven or eight minutes, but during Doon's time on the court, the Bulls still maintained their aggressive offensive momentum.

Even after Doon was rested, the Bulls youth army was still high-spirited, making persistent efforts to continue to widen the difference.

At the end of the first half, the score was 54-69, and the Bulls took a full 15-point lead.

In the third quarter, the two teams were still running back and forth.

Although the Bulls have not had Doane to comb the offense, and the offensive efficiency has dropped a lot, the problem is that the main Hornets are also resting on the bench.

The same main team did not play, and the Bulls youth army, led by Ben Gordon and Roel Deng, played with the energy and hard work they deserved.

Even if the game experience is indeed a little bit worse, it is prone to passing errors and leaky defenses.

But before the start of the fourth quarter, the score was fixed at 81-94, and the Bulls maintained a full 13-point advantage.

More than 20,000 Bulls fans at the scene were ecstatic and felt that the first preseason win was today.

It just so happens that tonight is also a home game, and it is natural to be overjoyed to be able to witness the rise of the youth army.

Ben Gordon heard that many fans were cheering for him, and his heart suddenly rose.

Nearly half of the ball in the fourth quarter was digested by him alone, and it just so happened that tonight he felt good, how to shoot.

Then, the astonishing 16 points in a single quarter helped the Bulls hold on to the advantage accumulated in the first three quarters.

The final game ended with 106 to 115.

With Ben Gordon's 35 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in a single game, the Bulls easily defeated the Hornets, a playoff team last season.

In an interview after the game, Doon also praised Ben Gordon's talent and potential, believing that Ben Gordon will be the future of the Bulls and will become one of the most reliable helpers around him.

Also after the game, Ben Gordon was interviewed.

said that he wants to learn from the team's boss - Doon, hoping to play at the level of Doane's rookie season and compete for the best rookie in the future.

Doon pricked up his ears and listened, wondering if Ben Gordon was meaning him, and did he want to be sent away by him?

One thing to say, four years later, if the Bulls Youth Army are all played, it is really not easy to renew the contract.

In any case, some people have to be traded.

However, in the course of three or four years, all of these rookie bonuses helped Doon win the championship.

Without these rookie bonuses, it would not be easy for Doon to win the championship with the Bulls who are picking the door.

In other words, the Bulls' first preseason win, and Doon, as the team leader, should have expressed it.

Considering that the Bulls are going to participate in the preseason in China next and will catch a plane tomorrow, Doon didn't invite his teammates to supper in the evening.

"Go back and have a good rest, catch a plane tomorrow morning, and when you get to the magic capital, I will take you to eat something delicious."

After the game, before the players disbanded and went home, Doon made an appointment with the other players in the dressing room.

When he arrives in the magic capital tomorrow, all the food and drink consumption will be paid by him Doon.

Time passed quickly, and it was six o'clock the next morning when I closed my eyes and opened them.

The Bulls players, plus the coaching staff and uniform team, a total of more than 40 people, got on the plane to the magic capital.

Chicago is separated from the city by 13 time zones, and jet lag is usually a hassle.

In order to minimize the physical discomfort of the players, the Bulls management chose a morning flight to the magic capital.

The plane will be in the air for about fourteen hours.

Bulls players can't get 14 hours of sleep at once, so they have to move around on the plane first to burn off excess energy.

Basically, watching movies, magazines, listening to music, and playing games on the plane to pass the time for seven or eight hours of boring.

Wait until you're physically and mentally exhausted during the trip and have accumulated enough sleepiness before getting five or six hours of sleep.

When the plane landed, it was just morning.

At that time, the Bulls players will have a daytime to play and taste food in the magic capital.

It's true that the magic capital is a food desert, but as long as you are willing to spend money, don't go out of your way to taste the local dishes, and find some edible and delicious food, it is not difficult.

When it comes to night, take a nap, and if you can't sleep, take some melatonin, and you can basically reverse the jet lag.

Regarding the next two preseason games in China, the Bulls and their party basically have to stay in the magic capital and the imperial capital for a week.

For others, however, jet lag and eating problems that need to be overcome are not worth mentioning in Doon's opinion.

During the flight, Doon took out the GBA and played the ruby version of Pokémon, and he didn't feel sleepy even after passing four gyms.

Later, I had lunch on the plane, and the blood supply to my brain was insufficient, and I slowly began to feel sleepy.

When I woke up, I happened to have arrived in the magic capital.

Instead, he got off the plane, put his luggage in the hotel, and took the team members to visit the magic capital, which made Doon more tired and tired.

With a group of curious babies, but their own behavior is difficult to control, and most of them are black teammates roaming around the magic capital, Doon must have to bear some responsibility.

Although there were bodyguards to escort him during the trip, and even the police also dispatched a certain number of people to maintain law and order, it did put a lot of pressure on Doon, who led the team.

Fortunately, the consumption of NBA players is relatively large, and the amount of food on the plane is obviously insufficient.

It was also because his teammates were hungry that Doon wittily moved people around the restaurant, and then saved a lot of trouble.

After eating, take a slight turn, and then go back to the hotel to rest.

Wait until the next day, because there is a game to play in the evening, naturally you have to do the right thing, go to the Modu Gymnasium in advance to step on the point, practice and maintain the state.

Time quickly came to night, and tonight's Modu Stadium was bustling.

Not only were the seats of 18,000 people full, but even the media area in the front row was full.

The major domestic media naturally got the first month and occupied a favorable position in advance.

The NBA's state media, plus broadcasts in 177 countries and territories around the world, are also ready to go.

"It's not a simple basketball game, and it opens up more channels of communication between China and the United States."

In the NBA preseason, before the start of the Magic Capital Station, Director Zhang of the Sports Management Center generously accepted an interview with the media and expressed their views.

Don't look at just two preseason games, for these two NBA China games, the sports management center has also contacted the NBA official and prepared for several years.

This year, too, Doon and Yao Ming each led an NBA team to play in two iconic Chinese cities, the Magic Capital and the Imperial Capital.

Before the game, Doon and Yao Ming were interviewed by domestic media and expressed confidence in winning.

However, the game will always be won and lost.

It can be seen that Yao Ming is playing very actively.

In the past, Yao Ming jumped the ball slowly, as if he didn't jump hard, but this time he violently pushed Tyson Chandler's head to turn the ball back to the backcourt.

I saw that after Bob Sula got the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Liu Wei on the side.

To mention it a little, it is also because of the Chinese game, and it is also reasonable for the Chinese men's basketball team to play two exhibition games, right?

In addition, in order to get Maddie, the Rockets traded both guns in the backcourt, and there are really no qualified point guards.

Liu Wei is in the national team, and his cooperation with Yao Ming is indeed tacit.

So with the tacit understanding of NBA officials, the men's basketball team and the Rockets boss, the Rockets sent Liu Wei an invitation to training camp in the summer and provided a short-term non-guaranteed contract.

Although it wasn't even a ten-day short contract, Liu Wei got the opportunity to play a cameo role as the starting point guard of the Rockets in the preseason.

Of course, if Liu Wei is competitive enough to perform well in the next two preseason games.

The men's basketball team may also want to send Liu Wei to the NBA, and now these two games are paving.

After all, this year is already in the quarterfinals, and in four years, will the men's basketball team be able to rush up and win cards or even gold medals in the Olympic Games at home?

Yao Ming and Douen, both inside and outside superstars, the difference is that there is no suitable championship puzzle.

And Liu Wei is already a tall man among short people.

Getting back to the point, as Ben Gordon stepped forward to lead the defense, Liu Wei pouted his ass and dribbled the ball steadily across the halfcourt.

Although it was a bit difficult to watch the dribble, it did exactly what a dribble guard should do.

After halftime, Liu Wei handed the ball to Maddie and went to the side to open up space.

Next up is Maddie's one-on-one star singles moment with Doon!

"Hey, Doon, I'll blow you up here!"

Facing the good brothers who practiced together in the summer, Maddie laughed and let out nonsense.

Doon also laughed; "Haha, who is it in the summer, because you can't beat me, you ran away in advance?"

Now Doon is about the same height as Maddie, although his arm span is still a lot worse, but Doon's strength, confrontation and physical strength in heads-up are far better than Maddie.

In heads-up wheel battles, although Maddie can enter the finals, she often loses to Doon, who has more physical strength and strength.

Maddie closed training camp early because of a trade to the Rockets, which is undoubtedly a situation where he can't beat and run.

Maddie didn't get angry when she heard this, but just took out the iconic pull-up jumper that made Kobe Bryant shout "the most difficult to defend", directly plucked the onion on Doon's head, and threw the ball out strongly.

Watching the basketball hollow into the net and listening to the loud exclamations of the fans at the scene, Doon didn't pay much attention to it.

Back in the summer, Doon knew what Maddie was really capable of.

I have to say that Maddie's dry pulling is really powerful.

There weren't too many feints, just speed, bounce, reach, and physical talent, ignoring the interference of the defenders, and throwing the ball unreasonably.

The vast majority of perimeter superstars don't have Maddy's dry pull-up jumper that ignores defense and can shoot at any time.

However, after a week of training camp battles, Doon had already figured out Maddie's weakness, which was Maddie's lack of power.

Maddie's pull-up jumper, there is a very serious problem - not accurate enough!

What many people may not know is that Maddie's free throws are perennially only 75 percent shooting.

As a super scorer, as an outside superstar, he only shot 74.6% of his career free throw percentage, which is actually very unreasonable.

The habitual crotch pull in the fourth quarter can be explained by the lack of physical strength, and the free throws have not yet reached the league's outside average, which is a bit puzzling.

Looking at Maddie's true shooting rate, it is 52% all year round, and Iverson, who is in a similar situation, has a free throw shooting rate of 78%!

As for Kobe, who was named the Los Angeles Blacksmith because of his four-backed three-iron transformation, he had a true shooting rate of 55% and a free throw shooting rate of 83.7%.

From the data alone, it can be seen that Maddy's shooting is a notch behind Kobe.

We all know that letting Kobe fire infinitely can prevent O'Neal from killing. So, what about letting Maddie fire infinitely?

It can only be said that tonight's game was a little cruel to Yao Ming.

The Bulls grabbed the baseline shot as soon as Maddy threw it into the mid-range.

Doon received the ball in the front court and then played it to Rohr Deng under the open basket.

Yao Mingcai ran back to the backcourt, and the Bulls completed an attack in three seconds.

When Yao Ming returned to the frontcourt, Maddie quickly singled with the Doon star again, and then with a Duang sound, Yao Ming began to run to the backcourt again.

However, Yao Ming had just run to the penalty area, and Doon had already passed the ball to Tyson Chandler of Xiashun.

I saw that Tyson Chandler scored the ball against the block of Juwan Howard, and also got a chance to stand on the free throw line, two plus one.

"Doon's passes are so beautiful!

The Bulls youth army on the court has the taste of the men's basketball team in the 90s!

It's really hard to play, and it's smart and energetic! ”

"Yes, not long ago, the Bulls led by Doane set off a fast-break craze in the NBA.

The Nets, Suns, and Hornets are all point guards.

By constantly increasing their speed and attacking continuously, they will crush their enemies with a tidal wave of continuous attacks. ”

As the game progressed, the commentators of the on-site central sports also began to talk about the players from the game.

Because last season Doon was not suitable for publicity at the beginning, fans didn't know much about Doon.

But the result is unexpected, it only took one year for Doon to achieve the greatest achievement of a Chinese player in the NBA.

So that all the basketball practitioners in the country, as well as the fans, have to refocus their attention on Doon.

In addition, people tend to like the new and hate the old.

Yao Ming's exposure is too great, whether it is basketball practitioners or fans, Yao Ming is no longer new.

Doon, however, remains mysterious, and looks so powerful!

"You can see that the Bulls' rookie is still very young.

The whole fight is very messy, there is no discipline, like playing wild ball, and there is a lack of game experience.

However, the Bulls, under the leadership of Doon, actually played quite well.

The Rockets can't keep up with the Bulls' game!

Liu Wei's integration into the Rockets was too short, and he couldn't help the Rockets find their own rhythm of the game, so it was very troublesome.

Regarding this phenomenon, I can only say that Doon is really powerful, and last season's Lakers championship, Doon definitely contributed to it.

Today's bull is like a pearl on the table.

Each one is indeed quite valuable, but when they fall upside down, they immediately jump blindly, and one accidentally rolls away.

Doon's magic lies in the fact that they are quickly strung together with a rope.

Originally, pearls were sold for a few or a dozen pieces, but when they were made into necklaces and bracelets, they were worth hundreds or thousands of dollars!

And this value-added part is because of Doon's craftsmanship! ”

"Indeed, when I look at the Bulls in front of me, I have the flavor of Lakers show time.

But tonight, what I'm most concerned about is when Doon gets the ball off.

If memory serves, Doon averaged 25 points per game in the Finals last season!

Playing on home tonight, Doon can't pass the ball all the time, right?

Doon is just too team sometimes! I wish Doon had been a bit more determined!

When Doon enters the national team, some balls can only be thrown by Doon!

We need Chinese magicians, but we need Chinese Jordan even more! ”

If you owe a watch, you will make up for it on the weekend
