"The only thing I wanted to do after leaving the Philadelphia 76ers was to win a championship ring that belonged to me.

Some time ago, my father told me that I hadn't laughed on the pitch in the last three years.

I knew that if I wanted to have a smile again, I had to go to a team that was competitive and could win championships.

I chose the Chicago Bulls, and the Chicago Bulls chose me, and we're going to win that damn championship together!

I'm sure I'll be able to get back on the pitch with a smile on my face when I come here.

I'm not going to let my fans down anymore and I'm not going to leave my career with regrets. ”

At the Chicago Bulls' press conference for Chris Webb, Webb did not hide the meaning of media reporters, and simply said that he joined the Bulls to get a championship ring.

In fact, since the Pistons peacefully parted with Webber on Alan Houston terms in early December, Webb has also been in contact with a number of teams.

These include the Pistons, Heat, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks and many other teams with championship hopes.

Of course, the bulls are part of it.

Webb also chose to come to the Bulls to get the veteran's base salary under multiple considerations.

After all, Webb can still receive a maximum salary of 20 million a year from the 76ers, and not just for one year, but for two years.

Webb, who is not short of money, only wants the championship, so he must pick a team with the best hope of winning the championship.

In fact, compared with the Pistons, Heat, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, and other championship teams that lack the main force and important bench interior players, the Bulls are the weakest for Weber.

The Bulls have no shortage of interior players, and the Bulls only want to stock up on one or two more tanks of fuel and veterans who can come in handy in the playoffs.

Who knows, Webb's huge surprise suddenly fell from the sky.

John Paxson chatted with Webb's agent for a few words, and Webb took the initiative to call John Paxson, and then hooked up.

It can only be said that planting the plane tree attracts the phoenix.

As the defending champions, the Bulls' strong strength has attracted a powerful veteran like Webb.

Today's Weber is more than just a gas tank! You must know that just last season, Webb also averaged 20.2 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

Of course, this is also thanks to the 76ers' early swing, and the 76ers really don't have many people inside, Webber has a lot of ball possession to brush up the data.

Judging from this season, Webb, who doesn't seem to have practiced much in the offseason, is really not in good shape.

In the previous dozen games, he averaged only 11.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and as an interior player, the scoring percentage was even only 38.7%.

However, the Bulls don't need Webb to play the main game, and they have time to help and wait for Webb to adjust his form.

In fact, just looking at Webber's rebounding and assist statistics, you can also see Weber's excellent physical talent and solid basic skills.

Even if you eat your old book, you can make some contributions to the Bulls in terms of protecting rebounds and interior strategy.

Once Webb's physical condition is adjusted, not to mention anything else in the playoffs, it is still possible to give him more than 20 minutes and an average of 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

With a base salary of 1.2 million a year for veterans, which team doesn't want to sign such an inside line that can be used as an important rotation?

That is, the Chicago Bulls, as the defending champion of the league's public enemy, even without Byron Davis, the second-in-command, the winning rate has not declined much.

After two months of regular season, under the leadership of Doon, the Bulls still played 25-6 and had the first record in the East.

That's what made Webb decide to join the Bulls in order to get his dream championship ring.

To be honest, if you change to another team, there is a player with a maximum salary of more than 10 million lying on the bench, which one will not have a decline in the team's performance?

Roster depth is an essential part of a championship-winning team, and in this regard, the Bulls are among the best in the entire league.

Not to mention, Doon is a supergiant who can play an average of 40+ points per game in the finals, integrating offense and defense.

Now that Doon is so young, the probability of injury is very small.

So, this season, so far, no team has a better chance of winning the championship than the Bulls.

However, the trade market has not yet closed, and some veteran stars with a serious decline in strength but with a maximum salary have not broken up with their team early like Webb.

In the coming period, it is unknown what kind of trade will happen to the league and what kind of strong championship team will be formed.

For the Bulls, it's about doing as well as they can and staying competitive as the defending champions should be.

Then, help Salmons, Milicic and Webber better integrate into the team and improve or restore their individual strength.

It is worth mentioning that on January 6, Byron Davis, who had recovered from injury, was also very anxious for the Eastern All-Star, and after playing a team 5v5, he couldn't help but feel the urge to play.

Scott Skels, as the head coach, wants to give Salmons more opportunities to further enhance the bench strength.

However, Byron Davis is the second leader of the Bulls and won the championship last season, and Scott Skeles has no reason to turn down Byron Davis.

However, Byron Davis took a two-month break, and although he was in his prime, it obviously took some time for his personal form to adjust.

And because the status of the team is here, as soon as he comes back, he will naturally play as a starter.

The return of Byron Davis directly led to the Bulls losing to the Pistons on January 6.

However, after the game, Doon expressed his support for Byron Davis.

'I'm sure Byron will be back in shape, he's a great player and he can bring a lot of possibilities to the team.

The Bulls are championship contenders and have won 73 games last season.

The season has not started so well with a clear league-wide target.

Therefore, if you can maintain 60+ wins in the regular season this season, it is basically considered a success.

Now, there's nothing wrong with taking five to 10 regular-season games to help Byron Davis get back to shape.

The regular season record is already difficult to beat, and the top priority this season is to keep the main players healthy and the whole team to work together to successfully defend the championship.

Of course, with the overall strength of the Bulls, the Bulls may not all lose in the next few games.

The rest of the game is basically playing at home, and Byron Davis will have more whistles to increase his scoring stats.

Moreover, if Byron Davis insists on going his own way and playing with the ball on his own, once he plays too badly, the home fans will inevitably have opinions.

Sure enough, after returning to the home court, Byron Davis, who had re-adapted to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game, played much calmer and more reasonable.

And Doon, as the boss of the team, is indeed helping Byron Davis play better.

It took only three games for Byron Davis, who simplified the offense and on-court functions, to recover the 20+5+5 stats.

However, for Ben Gordon, who wants to make it to the All-Star, there are fewer opportunities for the ball and simple balls, and the data has been encroached on a lot, and there are some complaints.

And as the time approached late January, the trading market was about to close, and the bulls were replaced by a reinforcement.

In fact, it was mainly Webb who contributed, and it had little to do with John Paxson.

Jalen Rose, who was once a fellow Michigan Five Tigers, also wanted to find a championship team to mix a championship ring after being cut by Houston terms.

Webb learned about the situation of his old classmates and veteran players, and he was also afraid that the Bulls would not have enough firepower on the bench.

So he invited Jalen Rose to Chicago to watch the game, trying to convince Jalen Rose to continue the frontier and play brother basketball together.

And Jalen Rose has been cut for a while, and during this time, he has been looking for a strong team to contend for the championship.

However, the championship team is not short of wing players, let alone Jalen Rose, who has suffered a serious decline on both offensive and defensive ends.

Jalen Rose at his peak still has offense, but on the defensive end, if he wants to prevent outside stars like Kobe, he still has to rely on stepping up.

Jalen Rose, who is now in the late stages of his career, only averages more than a dozen points per game for football rights.

Looking at the defensive end, he has no other skills, but he just defended Kobe Bryant by 81 points.

Gary Payton defended Jordan as Kobe Bryant, and Jalen Rose defended Kobe as Jordan......

After Jalen Rose lost the season, the defense was not trusted by NBA teams.

Because of this, Jalen Rose is not easy to find a team that suits him and can accept him.

Now, at the invitation of his good brother Webb, he packed his luggage and brought it directly to Chicago to visit Webb's new home.

After John Paxson learned about this from Webb, he also worked hard to finalize the contract with Jalen Rose.

Anyway, it's only 1.2 million a year, and Jalen Rose's fame alone is worth this money.

However, in the long run, the short-term situation is different.

The arrival of new members has added to the turmoil within the Bulls.

Originally, the Bulls' starting lineup and bench lineup still needed to eliminate the influence of Byron Davis, Webb and others.

Now there is another Jalen Ross whose defense has slipped badly, and it is natural that a new round of run-in needs to be started again.

At the same time, because there are more people who can play, the rotation lineup and rotation time have been adjusted, and many main players in the Bulls team have also experienced short-term discomfort symptoms, and there have been some problems in their status.

Fortunately, from late January to the end of January, most of them are playing at home.

And Scott Skels also completed his self-growth with the help of Doon, learned how to increase the team's voice, stepped forward to act as a villain, gave people a look, and pressed the stars who played badly on the bench.

Although many times the response will be slow, and even the personnel adjustment may not be correct, at least some problems can be corrected.

The Bulls' rookies no longer put the battle for ball possession and playing time on the surface, but more into the intensity of their own hard work in private, as well as the occasional small friction that erupts during team practice.

As the boss of the team, Doon has no other way than to come forward as a peacemaker in this situation.

Teeth and lips will touch, and players will inevitably have conflicts after a long time.

Therefore, it is more difficult and meaningful to win two or three consecutive championships than a single championship.

A championship-winning team whose core has not changed for several years is more valuable than a superstar group.

Doon is chasing Jordan, and naturally hopes to have a two-in-a-row, three-peat, and more than one career record.

The strength of the Bulls' roster this year has been unparalleled, and Doane will have to seize the best chance to win a second consecutive championship this time.

As for the three consecutive championships, next season's events will have to wait until next season.

If you can't successfully defend your title this season, then it's all in vain.

In order to help the team stabilize as soon as possible and establish a winning pattern or even more, Doon can only adjust his own style of play.

In the first three quarters, in order to cooperate with his teammates, he reduced the ball as much as possible, and at the same time put his physical strength into defense and rebounding.

In the fourth quarter, Doon focused on scoring, helping the team win as much as possible, using the victory to eliminate conflicts within the team, make teammates more positive, and make the team more united.

It is also because of Doon's adjustment that Doon has changed from the king of the triple double to the king of the last section.

According to ESPN's stats, Doon averaged 13.7 points per game in the fourth quarter during the two weeks of the Western Devils' seven-game road streak in early February.

The other players who averaged more than 7 points per game in the fourth quarter during the same period were only Kobe, Arenas, Carter, Nowitzki, and Anthony.

Among them, Kobe Bryant, who is the highest, only averaged 9.2 points per game.

Knowing Kobe's personality and style of play, you know that Kobe Bryant's ball possession in the final quarter will definitely not be much less than Doon's.

And the difference of more than 4 points per game in the last quarter, even if it does not explain the gap between Doon and Kobe's key balls, at least reflects that Doon's scoring efficiency is much higher than Kobe's.

However, Doon's late scoring also reflected a bad situation.

That is, the Bulls didn't have as many games as last season, when they had to spend three quarters and the fourth quarter was completely reduced to garbage time.

It can only be said that this is the adverse effect of becoming a public enemy of the alliance.

Fortunately, after two or three weeks of running-in, the Bulls' lineup has almost run in, and some good chemistry has been developed within the team.

And after the West Devils' seven-game travel streak, the Bulls did not have another player injury.

Next, the annual All-Star Weekend is just around the corner.

The vast majority of the Bulls' players will be given a moment of respite and a good rest.

Only Doon, Byron Davis and Tyson Chandler will participate in the next All-Star Game.

Among them, Doon and Tyson Chandler are Eastern Conference All-Star starters, and Byron Davis is reduced to Eastern Conference All-Star backup guard because Doon and Wade have too many votes.

However, the Bulls, with a 41-13 record and the second place in the East, have three All-Star spots, which is also very violated.

On the contrary, the Heat, who are the first in the East, only have two All-Stars, Wade and O'Neal, of which O'Neal was selected as an All-Star backup center in the East.
