"If you want to go one step further and play in the NBA, you still have to practice the basics.

High-intensity competitions require not only stronger physique, but also more solid skills.

As long as you can overcome the technical and physical problems, I believe you still have a chance to play in the NBA rotation.

In the CBA, you can only have one or two million dollars a year, but in the NBA, you will have at least one million dollars a year......"

After playing the World Championships, Doon is also ready to leave for Chicago to prepare for the new season.

After playing with a group of CBAs, Doon said he cherished his former NBA teammates even more.

Of course, Doon hopes to have more NBA teammates in the men's basketball team in the future.

Therefore, before parting, I gave a few more words of advice to my teammates in the men's basketball team, hoping that they would listen to it.

Before coming to the World Championships, Doon one-sidedly felt that Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, teammates who would enter the NBA in the future, were his helpers.

After playing this World Championships, Doon still has a lot of changes in this.

Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu have obviously brought more help to Du En and Yao Ming than Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yuelai.

Because of the problem of ball possession, although Wang Shipeng did not average double-doubles in points per game, he relied on three-point shots and air cuts, and his scoring data was second only to Doon and Yao Ming.

And Zhu Fangyu not only has three points but also defense, if he cultivates well and further solidifies his basic skills, he will become an excellent 3D player.

Besides, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu are no different from Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, and they have just become part of the men's basketball team.

It's just that the physical talent is a little worse, but the basic skills are better.

And then the NBA is about to enter the small-ball era, which means that before the small-ball era completely comes, the NBA is also short of pitchers, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu have the opportunity to find jobs in the NBA.

In fact, Zhu Fangyu, who smokes and drinks and has an irregular life, also received an NBA contract at his peak.

If he can get out of his comfort zone and play in the NBA for a while, Zhu Fangyu will definitely become stronger.

For Doon, it is difficult to go further in personal strength, and the men's basketball team can only go further if his teammates become stronger.

After all, basketball is a team sport, and no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit.

This is true even in the NBA, where superstar basketball is prevalent.

You don't see that Curry is old and strong, and he played at the level of MVP, but he was dragged down by his teammates, and there was no helper around him, even if he was tired, it was still difficult to stop the loss.

So, winning is definitely not a one-man thing.

With Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and the boss of the men's basketball team, they can only ensure the lower limit of the men's basketball team and achieve the goal of leadership, but they cannot meet the expectations of fans.

The real strength is the strength of the collective, and then a heroic figure who can decide the outcome of the battle appears in a specific period, ascends the throne, and is crowned king.

……

"John, do we have a chance to get Darko Milicic?"

Before getting on the plane, Doon made a phone call to Bulls general manager John Paxson, making it clear that John Paxson would be traded for Milicic.

Championship teams are not easy to trade, and all the general manager can do is keep the championship roster and then reach out to the veterans who want to win the championship in the free market.

There are no big fish in the free market this summer, Yao Ming, Xiao Si, and Prince, the rookies who have played in the class of '02, have already signed with their parent team in advance.

And there are not many veteran stars except Big Ben, Peja and Mad Man.

The Bulls first approached Big Ben and Peja, but both wanted big contracts and guaranteed starters.

For this reason, the Bulls' reinforcement goal can only turn to find rookies, continue to expand the Bulls' youth army, and eat rookie dividends.

At Doon's suggestion, John Paxson picked up John Salmons for 25 million in 5 years.

Previously, John Salmons played for his hometown team, the Philadelphia 76ers, but because of Iverson and Iguodala, John Salmons has not been reused by the team.

In fact, John Salmons is a missed gem in the '02 class.

As a tall guard, his physical gifts give him the advantage of ignoring distractions and a wider, more disruptive single defense against defenders.

And because of his certain organizational skills, he can be called a good sudden throw.

As long as you feel good, you can be like JR Smith, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and punishes Buddha.

At his peak, he averaged 18 points per game, shot 41% from three-point range, and although his scoring ability declined in the playoffs, the Bulls didn't need him to be a starter, as long as he could lead the bench with Ben Gordon.

With the acquisition of John Salmons, the Bulls also have an extra insurance on the defensive line, and even if Byron Davis or Ben Gordon are injured, someone can make up for it.

The forward line has always been the strength of the Bulls, and John Paxson needs to have a headache in the next two years, how to choose Rolle Deng, Josh Smith, Burrece Dior, Andrés Nocioni and sign them to new contracts.

Therefore, after expanding the back line this summer, the only thing to pay attention to is the interior line.

During his time at the World Championships, Doon noticed Milicic's outstanding performance - averaging 16.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.

A proud son of heaven who has been wasted in the NBA for three years and was bullied by Larry Brown can actually play such statistics by relying on talent and eating his old book.

In fact, if nothing else, just by averaging 2.8 blocks per game, you can see how outstanding Milicic's talent is.

It is worth mentioning that Milicic was traded to the Magic by the Pistons after playing for two and a half years with the Pistons.

And now the Magic has established Howard's position as the boss, and Howard has the ability to start the center of the Dream Seven team in the World Championships.

Howard himself was not willing to be a blue-collar worker, but wanted to score more points.

As a result, Milicic will be able to play a very limited role in the Magic next season, at most he will continue to clock in and go to work, grab a few rebounds, and block a few hats.

This means that Milicic's trade value will be at an all-time low.

Even if the Bulls can't get Milicic this summer, there is hope that the Bulls will expand their youth pool through trades in the upcoming regular season.

"I'll get him a chance."

John Paxson, after understanding Doon's idea, quickly agreed, saying that he would bring Milicic back to Chicago.

Last year, the Magic traded a first-round pick plus Kevin Cato's expiring contract to acquire Milicic and Carlos Arroyo from the Pistons.

Carlos Arroyo once averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in the Jazz, and he can only be regarded as a qualified starting point guard just by looking at his strength, but if he looks at the contract, it is only 4 million, which is more cost-effective.

So, considering the trade value of Milicic, it's just one or two first-round picks.

And because Milicic's contract is about to expire and Howard needs the ball to score, then Milicic's trade value will undoubtedly become lower.

So, John Paxson directly said that he could get Milicic.

Under normal circumstances, a little talk with the Magic would have almost gotten Milicic with the Bulls' worthless first-round pick plus a second-round pick or two, plus some cash.

In this way, the Bulls' roster for the new season can not only maintain the original competitiveness, but also continue to stay young, maintain vitality, and more possibilities.

Because Kukoc is ready to retire and the contracts of Janero Pargo, Joan Barry and others are expiring, there are still some personnel losses on the Bulls roster.

But it doesn't matter, the new season Bulls still maintain last season's main lineup.

Coupled with the additions of John Salmons and Milicic, the main squad has been decided before the start of training camp for the new season.

Starting Byron Davis, Doon, Roel Deng, Josh Smith, Tyson Chandler.

Subs Ben Gordon, John Salmons, Andres Nocioni, Burres Dior, Clifford Robinson, Mickey Moore, Milicic.

There are three regular-season rosters left, mainly to see if there are any veterans who were cut by Alan Houston in the middle of the season.

Time flies, and after the reopening of training camp for the new season, the Bulls finished the preseason with a 6-2 record.

The championship brought glory to the players, but it also made some players complacent and no longer worked as hard as before.

But most of the black players have that kind of personality.

And I'm still young, even if I don't practice much in the summer, I can do most of the offense and defense just by playing with my body.

Besides, the new season is still long!

The Bulls are strong overall, and even if the players on the team are all Thompson's personality, it will take two months to get back in the regular season, which is not a big problem.

As the saying goes, there is wine today and drunk today.

Nothing else, getting a ring before the season opener is the top priority!

On October 31, at the Chicago Union Center, the prelude to the NBA 06-07 season slowly kicked off.

Tonight's opponent for the defending champion Chicago Bulls is none other than last year's champions, the Miami Heat.

03 Platinum Generation, the only two players to win the FMVP, will also play again on this stage tonight.

Of course, before the opener kicks off, it's time for the Chicago Bulls.

As the seventh championship flag was raised over the United Center, Doon had an extra championship ring on his finger. (End of chapter)
