Chapter 274: Four All-Stars

"KG, you have too little ball possession now, and the data you have obtained is not conducive to you getting a higher contract extension."

Some people are happy and some are worried, although Garnett is content with the status quo, he actively adjusted his role in the Bulls and charged for the championship.

But his agent, Andy Miller, expressed concerns about Garnett's future in advance and began to influence Garnett.

If Garnett, who averages 22 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, is worth 20 million top salary.

Then Garnett, who averaged 12 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game, is worth a maximum salary of 8 million.

Anyone knows that Garnett's stats with the Bulls don't reflect his level.

Now Garnett is still in his prime, and it is not difficult to play an average of 20+10 per game in the Bulls.

However, in order to adapt to the new role of the Bulls, Garnett also wanted to maintain unity within the Bulls, reduce friction between all parties, and ensure the competitiveness of the championship team, so he had to give up part of the ball and focus on defense.

The advantage of this is that, on the one hand, Garnett has been recognized by other players of the Bulls in a short period of time, and on the other hand, it has also made Garnett, who was not outstanding in scoring ability, relatively efficient.

However, full of lust. The Bulls started the game quite well, starting with a 13-game winning streak.

At the expense of Garnett, he quickly integrated into the Chicago Bulls.

Now that the team's results are stable, Garnett was reminded by his agent, and naturally he also had some thoughts.

At the same time, the Bulls have won too many games, and the players will inevitably become complacent and start to promiscuous.

On December 1, the Bulls host the Charlotte Bobcats.

Against an Eastern weaker team like the Bobcats, the Bulls would normally be able to take it down without much effort.

It is precisely because of this that before the game started, Doane didn't care, let alone the other Bulls players.

However, it was such an impossible game to lose, and the Bulls actually capsized in the gutter.

The Bobcats youth army who came from afar, not only were they not afraid of the defending champion like the Bulls, but they became more and more passionate.

Led by Elvis Presley Jaedra Wallace, a group of flying first-round picks charged towards the Bulls.

Jason Richardson, Emeka Okafor, Raymond Felton, the three talented men with the top five picks in the first round all played 20+ points.

Although the Bulls players woke up in the second half and got rid of the sleepwalking state of the first half, they still failed to press down the group of birds and beasts of the Bobcats.

It was also because the Bobcats stood up one after another and maintained the advantage until the fourth quarter.

That gave Elvis Presley Wallace the chance to go head-to-head with Doon in the fourth quarter.

Even though Doon scored 16 points in the final quarter, he still couldn't prevent Jaedra Wallace, who scored 10 points in the final quarter and scored 31 points in the game, from taking away the victory of tonight's game.

And Jordan, who was far away in Charlotte, watched the game, opened the champagne directly in the villa, and then lit a cigar.

Although the Bulls didn't know how Jordan was celebrating in Charlotte, they also knew that losing this game was a very serious problem.

It is true that theoretically the players who play against each other are all NBA players, and they are all NBA teams, and it is possible to lose to anyone.

However, the Bulls are the league's No. 1 and are the defending champions who have been targeted by the league but still have a 13-game winning streak in the opening game.

It was at this time that the Bulls lost to the Charlotte Bobcats, who were third from the bottom in the East.

If you simply lose to the weak team in the East, it will be forgotten, but if you lose to Jordan's Bobcats, it will be a great crime.

It was also because of the loss of the last game that the players should have lost, and when the players returned to the locker room after the game, team owner Jerry Reinsdorf couldn't help but run to the locker room and lose his temper.

As the saying goes, open your mouth above, and break your leg below.

The boss is angry, and the employees below must show it.

The Bulls players know they are at fault, and even if Doane scored 36 points, it was a bit unclean.

After all, the team lost, and the team boss must be to blame.

It was also this incident, and the bull immediately cleaned up.

And on December 3rd, the Mavericks, who came to Chicago next, were a little unfortunate to meet this bull who was looking for someone to be angry.

The bull beats the calf, Lao Tzu beats the son, there is no problem, right?

The Bulls regained their image as the league's hegemon, and Garnett put Nowitzki in some doubts.

Obviously, he has just practiced the unique skills of the Golden Rooster, but Garnett devotes himself to defense, this long arm and long legs, and he is also very capable of jumping, and he can really block difficult backward jump shots.

In the end, the Bulls relied on a 36-point victory to show the strength of the league's rulers.

It just so happens that the Bulls will also travel to Charlotte in two days to play the Bobcats again.

This time, although Garnett asked for more balls, he was also restrained.

As for the Bulls, they also needed the ball, but they all took their chances.

The Bobcats have a lot of talent for their young players, and so is the Bulls' youth team.

While the Bobcats players didn't know how to win, Ben Gordon and others had already won two championships with Doon.

Therefore, the young players of the Bulls are not afraid to compete with others in terms of talent! Men should be positive!

With the Bulls playing a huge game of 136-84, a huge 52-point difference, they finally washed away the shame of the previous loss to the Bobcats.

However, the good times did not last long, and the Bulls went to Detroit to play away from home after playing the Bobcats.

The Pistons have lost a lot of money, and although their strength has declined, after two seasons of rectification, the team has also recovered the demeanor of a strong team in the East.

The Bulls fought too hard against the Bobcats in the last game, and it was inevitable that they would miss the Pistons in this game.

In the end, they lost the game by 6 points.

Fortunately, if you lose to the Pistons, it is not unacceptable.

In the previous 73-win season, the Bulls also lost nine games.

Now that they have won three consecutive championships, teams across the league regard the Bulls as a tool to make a name for themselves, and every game is the same as playing the playoffs, and it is even more difficult for the Bulls to win.

So, in the first month or two of the game, it's normal to lose two or three games.

Time flies, and before All-Star Weekend, the Bulls played a total of 52 games, and even if they were surrounded by the league, the Bulls only lost seven games.

With this stance, the Bulls are expected to play another 73-win record.

It is worth mentioning that this year's Bulls are matched by four All-Stars!

Doon and Garnett were selected as starters, and Roel Deng and Josh Smith, who won two championships as starters, were both selected as All-Star substitutes in the East by relying on the head coach's vote.

In a way, this is an affirmation of strength, and it is also a kind of slaughter of the bull. (End of chapter)
