When Doon returned to Chicago in late September, he felt the enthusiasm of fans and media across the country.

Doon wanted to train hard and try to find the shooting feel he hadn't found before the preseason started.

Who knows, everyone doesn't seem to care if he can get back to the top.

What everyone desperately wants to do is get a closer look at Doon – like going to the zoo to see exotic animals.

Perhaps because of the more strained performance of the men's basketball World Cup, now Doon has changed from a man who is comparable to the god of basketball to a harmless cute thing like a giant panda.

Of course, Doon disappeared in front of the camera for more than a year, and many fans missed Doon very much and desperately wanted to watch Doon on TV.

And the major media and companies are also fully meeting the needs of fans, and they continue to come to the door, hoping to cooperate with Doon.

Because he was given too much, Doon was forced to cut back on his personal training time.

After Doon participated in programs such as the Fat Lun Show and the Chicken Feather Show, the major TV stations found that the ratings were not bad, and launched a new invitation to Doon.

ESPN also wants to work with Doon on an observational reality show.

It's just about seeing how Doon trains, how he "grows", how he recovers enough to play in the NBA.

At the same time, some Hollywood studios want to obtain Doon's authorization to produce and distribute biographical films containing Doon's previous seven-time NBA career in Doon's name.

Actually, that's exactly what Nike is trying to do. After all, the follow-up material recorded in the past ten years is enough to release several personal films about Doon.

Of course, now that streaming is booming, biopics don't have to be shown in theaters.

In short, while the popularity of Doon's comeback has not dissipated, all kinds of programs and movies have to work overtime to produce.

And Doon's comeback was originally for money.

In the end, the desire for money still prevailed over the belief that self-discipline was restored and strengthened.

Until the start of the preseason, Doon's condition was a little better than his previous men's World Cup.

The problem is that it is useless to just be in a slightly better physical condition, and when the NBA regular season officially starts, as the intensity of the game increases, it will be difficult to keep up technically.

Doon will either play inside, and if he continues to play outside, he will need to have stronger projection ability and good anti-interference ability.

Therefore, it is still unknown how well it will play in the next season.

On October 1, the Chicago Bulls training camp officially opened.

The familiar faces in the Bulls team, seeing Doane return to the team, are not so unfamiliar.

"Welcome back, Boss!"

"Boss, you seem to have gotten fat, but we will accompany you to lose weight and accompany you back to the top!"

"Boss, we can't win the championship without you. Now that you're back, we're competitive again. ”

"I know that our dynasty is not over yet, and I know that you will come back eventually, boss."

"The Chicago Bulls need leaders, and we've been waiting for you to come back!"

"Doon, we need your energy, we need your experience, we need your leadership!"

Curry, George, Jr., Ibaka, Whiteside, Vucevic, Middleton, Green, Crowder.

Last year, there were only so many of the Bulls' championship-winning teams left.

If you really want to talk about it, the core lineup also has Curry, George, Xiaoka, Ibaka, and White Edge as a starting lineup.

Aldridge was traded midway through last season, and the Bulls traded to an expiring contract, intending to free up salary space for the card.

And in the middle of last season, Butler, a restless guy, was also disposed of.

Ray Allen finished winning the championship ring and did not choose to renew his contract with the Bulls this summer.

In addition, Bradley's rookie contract expired and was favored by the Mavericks in the West.

The Bulls have a number of max and sub-max contracts, and the salary pressure is too great, so they didn't choose to keep Bradley.

Seriously, because of Doon's big contract, the Bulls want to remain competitive for the championship.

Or, as in previous years, trade away the contracts of the team's second and third leaders that are about to depreciate, free up salary space to hoard draft picks, and then eat rookie bonuses.

Either that, the cap is renewed, the salary space is expanded, and the luxury tax is hard capped.

The Bulls have won enough championships over the years, and the management has not pursued them.

Now Doon's strength has obviously declined, so please go back to Doon, there is no idea of winning the championship.

Instead, with the help of the gimmick of Doon's comeback, he ate a big vote.

It is for this reason that the Bulls no longer choose to renew contracts without commercial value, trade value, for blue-collar players like Bradley.

However, in this way, there will inevitably be some problems with the Bulls' lineup for the new season.

Now the Bulls lineup, not counting Doon.

The guards are Curry and Middleton, as well as last year's first-round pick Archie Goodwin and this year's second-round pick Xavier Thames.

Without Doon as Manager Du, the Bulls' draft level would have returned to its original level.

The ones they chose all seemed to be talented and athletic, but when it came to actual combat, it was a bit unsatisfactory.

Besides, Curry and Middleton, the offense is definitely fine, but looking at the defense, it can only be said that it is decent, and it can't defend against players who are too fast.

In the new season, the Bulls still need forward players to make up for the defense, and there are no suitable bench players, which may lay a hidden danger in the middle of the season.

As for the forward players, thanks to Doane's rich old foundation for the Bulls, just George, Carl Jr., Ibaka, Green, and Crowder are enough for the whole league to drink a pot.

In addition, Bojan Bogdanovic, who was selected in previous years, finally came to report to the team.

Originally, the merit of George, Xiaoka, Green and others was defense, but now with one more fixed-point pitcher, the Bulls forward group will undoubtedly have more changes and options.

As for the inside line, it is mainly White Edge and Vucevic.

Last year, the Bulls also signed Rudy Gobert in search of a replacement for the white side, and they finally chose the right person.

This year, Dwight Powell was chosen, missing out on Jokic.

Doon thought that he would retire for two years like Jordan, but who knew that it was only a year later, and because of the unbearable performance of the men's basketball World Cup, he was invited back in advance.

However, the Men's Basketball World Cup kicked off after the draft, and Doon did not communicate with the Bulls management beforehand.

As a result, 2014 was a missed draft year to replenish the bench and future opportunities for the Bulls.

Of course, the Bulls' roster this season still looks very competitive.

Whether it is the Thunder, the defending champion in the West, or the Heat Big Three, which chooses to fight for two more years in the East, it seems that they are not as good as the Bulls.

However, four months ago, George and Xiaoka fought with the Heat, and so far the injury has not healed.

It is not expected to return from injury until the end of December, and it will take another month or two to get back to training to find a feeling.

This means that the main lineup of the Bulls will be fluctuating and adjusting for a long time.

If the team has a poor record, there is also the possibility of some locker room problems erupting.

In particular, Doon's return has brought huge exposure and attention, and under the influence of outside media, players within the Bulls team also tend to have some psychological problems.

Therefore, Dwan's return to the Bulls is not here to lie down and win.

As the Bulls want to get back into the championship race, Doon not only has a lot to do on the court, but also needs to do more off the court.

Doon's choice is to cooperate with major TV stations, announce daily training, and participate in the blogs of some retired NBA stars and basketball commentators.

When O'Neal won the championship in the Heat, he could play badly, and Doon could lie on the Bulls' credit book, and then play music and dance.

Perhaps Doon's swing is more in line with the expectations of NBA officials and other team management for Doon.

And Doon made a nest in advance, which was also convenient for the playoffs to get up and catch big fish.

Duncan can win the championship in health basketball, and so can Doon. (End of chapter)
