With Doon, Byron Davis, and Scott Skels back in Chicago, the Bulls are back in the thick of the regular season.

On Feb. 22, the Bulls played the Bucks at home, but it was relatively easy to win.

But the next thing to arrive at the Union Center is the Eastern Conference powerhouse Detroit Pistons.

Today, the Pistons are 44-9, second only to the Bulls in the East.

And in order to achieve the goal of winning the championship this season, the Pistons also have the courage to become the vanguard of attacking the Bulls.

After the start of the first quarter, Doon was treated with a four-in-one.

Doon can only give the ball to Byron Davis to try first, the first quarter is actually okay, although Byron Davis's efficiency is average, but at least the Bulls still have a small lead.

Unexpectedly, after more than four minutes in the second quarter, Byron Davis turned over and jumped like a lightning strike in the process of hitting Billups with a back, and threw a three-pointer, and then the person fell to the ground.

That scared Billups!

Billups repeatedly explained: "I didn't touch him, I'm innocent." ”

Billups' defense, while also making some moves, doesn't make it dirty against Byron Davis in the regular season.

Not to mention that under the coaching of Larry Brown, although the current Pistons defense is very tough, all the actions are clear, and they will never engage in any conspiracy and trickery.

Besides, in this round, Byron Davis also took the initiative to hit the back and wanted a physical confrontation, and Billups applied the confrontation, but did not make more excessive movements.

But tonight at the Union Center, the referee gave the home whistle, the sympathy whistle, and Byron Davis two free throws.

In this case, Billups is indeed a little wronged.

However, it is not a good thing for the bulls.

Byron Davis did get injured in the round.

After the team doctor came to the court to communicate with Byron Davis, the latter also agreed with the team doctor and chose to lie down in the locker room for a further detailed test.

It wasn't until after the game that the Bulls players learned the exact news, which turned out to be back cramps.

It can only be said that the sudden commotion flashed everyone's waists.

Byron Davis played hard in the first half of the regular season, participated in the All-Star Game again during the All-Star Weekend, and didn't get the rest he deserved.

It was also because it was humiliating to say this kind of thing, so Byron Davis did not choose to take the free throw and went down for a medical examination.

And after Byron Davis went down, Larry Brown designated Tyson Chandler to make free throws, and in the end it was only one of two free throws.

The Bulls didn't take advantage of this free throw, and because of the lack of a leading player, everyone was concerned about Byron Davis's situation, and their mentality was somewhat affected by this.

Then by the end of the third quarter, the Bulls were already trailing by 12 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doon wanted to turn the tide and rewrite the score.

However, he couldn't catch the ball in the low post, shot a few three-pointers in the high post, and couldn't bite the score because of the decline in physical strength and the decline in shooting rate.

After Doon was rested, Ben Gordon suddenly broke out, but this also belonged to the child's death and milk, and he couldn't be saved at all.

In the end, 101-95, the Bulls lost the game by 6 points.

And the sudden appearance of Byron Davis also gave the Bulls a wake-up call.

Healthy to win a championship, the Bulls have a chance to tie the 72-win record of the 96 Bulls this season.

But if you're thinking about the playoffs, you might need to slow down a bit.

Because the Bulls played so well in the first half of the regular season, they have once again become the public enemy of the league and the target of everyone.

The next schedule will definitely not be easy for the Bulls.

But if you give up some games a little bit and the whole team enters the playoffs in good health, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, the specific schedule can be discussed slowly, and it doesn't hurt to take a step at a time.

It is imperative that the whole team participate in a physical examination to check the physical condition of the players and see if there are any potential injuries.

In fact, this season, as early as the beginning of the regular season, the Bulls have worked so hard.

However, after a few months, I began to slack off again.

It's not that the Bulls team doctor isn't conscientious enough, it's that the physical examination can't be done every day.

Therefore, even the Suns, who have a miracle doctor, cannot guarantee that there will be no injuries to any players throughout the season.

Under the existing conditions, the Bulls can only arrange more scientific training time as much as possible, as well as the rotation time to play.

Then again, after a busy physical, the Bulls players quickly arrived in Philadelphia by plane.

Although Byron Davis will have a week or two off, playing a team like the 76ers, the Bulls will not have much of a problem getting a star in the house.

Led by Doon's 38 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks, the Bulls easily won the game by a huge margin of 109-98, a full 11 points.

And the 76ers owners and management, who have been rotten, saw Iverson in the no handcheck version that suited him to play, and broke into the interior and was dizzy by the Doon hat, and they also officially made up their minds and prepared to rebuild.

No Handcheck enhances the offensive ability of perimeter players who are fast or good at blocking and pick-and-roll, while also giving wingers who are fast and good at helping defenders have higher defensive value.

In other words, the wing players with quick feet and integrated offense and defense are the real darlings of the current version.

On the contrary, it is a small guard like Iverson who can ignore defenders even under the handcheck rule, and use sharp dribbling and breakthrough ability to penetrate the opposing player.

Because of the change in the rules, it was shortened by other outside players.

To put it simply, the difficulty of the exam has decreased, and people with a score of 95 can score 100 points, but those who can only score 80 points can suddenly score 90 or even 95 points.

And on the defensive end, small guards naturally don't have an advantage.

This is also the fundamental reason why there are few guards and many interior champions in the past drafts.

Unless the small guard is against the sky on the offensive end, he will always have less defensive value than the big man at the same price.

In addition, if the young defender wants to meet the expectations of the champion, he must also stay healthy, otherwise he will only be able to play for a few seasons and the team will not be able to earn a few years.

And if you can use O'Neal and Duncan as the cornerstone of the team, even if you can't win the championship, it will not be a problem to make the playoffs.

Now like the 76ers, Iverson is close to 20 million in salary, but leading the team can only compete for the championship, so it doesn't make much sense.

Such a superstar lotto team can't afford to raise, so it's better to trade it for more chips and rebuild ahead of time.
