With Doon's encouragement and help, Ibaka and White have really taken action to prove that they want to be All-Stars.

And in the next game, the Bulls won three consecutive away games in the East with the help of both Ibaka and Whiteside.

Of course, in order to win, the opponent deliberately shrunk the basket during the game and let the Bulls shoot from the outside.

It just so happened that after a month of training in the game, Doon's shooting feeling has warmed up a lot.

In the last three games, Doon has shot 8-of-22 three-pointers and can make two three-pointers in each game.

Although the three-point shooting percentage is not high, it can indeed relieve some of the pressure on the Bulls to score from the outside.

On top of that, Doon's mid-range shooting percentage has also improved, shooting 9-of-20 in his last three games.

Although Doon's three-point and mid-range shooting did not return to the top of the league, they were above average!

In addition, in addition to shooting, Doon also had a breakthrough and passing threat.

Now that the shooting touch is constantly recovering, and from time to time there can be a small explosion, which to a certain extent, has been able to affect the opponent's defensive arrangement.

Doon is back in shooting threat, which is great news for the rest of the Bulls.

Serge Ibaka and White Edge are on a hot streak, thanks in part to Doon's warmer shooting touch, which helped them attract some defensive attention, and Doon's sudden feeding under the basket, which made it easier for them to score.

It is precisely because of this, combined with Doon's support, the Bulls' winning streak, coupled with outstanding personal data and other multiple factors, that by the time the results of the first round of All-Star voting were announced, Ibaka and White Edge were both on the list.

Ibaka has had All-Star Game experience before, and he was established as one of the core of the Bulls a few years ago, so his popularity is even more vigorous, temporarily ranking fourth among Eastern Conference forwards, behind James, Anthony, and Bosh.

White is sixth among the Eastern Forwards. Sandwiched between Ibaka and the white edge is none other than Pacers star Roy Hibbert.

Judging from the All-Star voting alone, Ibaka and White Edge are still very promising to participate in the next All-Star game as Eastern All-Star backup forwards.

However, George was also seen in the tenth position of the Eastern Forward in the All-Star voting list.

Considering that George is about to return next, it is not impossible that George will replace Ibaka and Whiteside as the Bulls' third All-Star this season.

In order to ensure that they can become the All-Star forwards in the East this season, Ibaka and White Edge can only get as much fan support as possible to participate in the upcoming All-Star Game as starting forwards in the East.

In this regard, Dune, as the boss of the team, was also the first to express his position and raised his hands in favor.

In the next game, Doon broke through the basket with the ball, almost all of which were passes, and did not choose to finish by himself.

Even defending defensive rebounds is not as active as before, but occasionally helps Ibaka and White Rim to get a slot.

With Doon's support and encouragement, Ibaka and White Edge are indeed full of attitudes.

Flying away on the court, practicing behind closed doors off the court, no longer sneaking out in the middle of the night to have fun with Yingying Yanyan.

JUST LIKE SOME STARS HAVE A BABY BUFF, MEN WHO AREN'T PRESSED BY THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYERS TEND TO BE IN BETTER SHAPE.

However, the Bulls' winning streak didn't last long before the team's record and locker room atmosphere reached a turning point.

On December 9, after the team's internal tests, George, who has been unanimously approved by the team doctor, coach, and management, returned to the court and made his debut directly.

Obviously, George didn't want to miss out on the next All-Star Game.

This year is the first year of George's big contract, and although George has no contract pressure, he also wants to prove his own quality, and wants to try to challenge for a higher status and get more honors.

There is another reason that is also important, and that is that Doon is back.

Doon's comeback has brought a huge amount of traffic to the Bulls, and playing next to Doon and playing well will undoubtedly gain more fame and attention, and get more off-court benefits.

However, with Doon's team, it is not so easy for others to get big contracts.

Over the years, so many stars have played their way around Doon, but how many have been able to stay with the Bulls in the end?

Everyone knows that if the Bulls re-establish their championship goals, then dealing with big contracts is inevitable.

If the Bulls only want to eat Doon's traffic and don't want to win the championship, then it is extremely normal to clean up the salary and reduce expenses.

George's personality is simple, but he is not stupid.

After getting the guidance of the agent, I am even more aware of the current situation - if you don't want to be like the stars who were swept away by the Bulls in the past, leaving the Bulls and quickly disappearing from the public, you should take advantage of playing in the Bulls to get more honors.

After all, George is still young, as long as there are more All-Stars and more All-Star honors, even if he is traded to other teams, he will have the opportunity to be the big boss of the weak team, and the second leader will live a more nourishing life.

If you play in the Bulls and don't fight for anything, but instead make a mess, then when this big contract expires, the next one may only be in the middle class.

After all, in the NBA, even team executives who are known for their professionalism often look at data and accolades to determine the contract amount.

George doesn't have the commercial value of a superstar, and can only make sure that his data and honor don't shrink.

And under the guidance of his agent, it happened to be the first year of a big contract, and the Bulls management did not want his contract to depreciate.

Therefore, the coach will inevitably be pressured to let him play more balls and brush up on more data, so as to sell him for a good price in the future.

It was also the first game of George's comeback, and he was a little arrogant, regardless of the content of the game and the overall interests of the team, and shot indiscriminately, which in turn damaged the current chemistry of the Bulls and the atmosphere in the locker room to a certain extent.

After the Bulls lost, the hype of the outside media also put pressure on some players in the Bulls.

Some people read some reports that seem to make sense, and some other ideas slowly arise in their minds.

As time went on, more and more problems popped up within the Bulls.

Losing is inherently problematic, and the traffic team has attracted wide attention from the outside world.

Sometimes a player's subtle expression on the pitch can be gradually analyzed and analyzed by psychologists among the fans, and then a long speech can be made to illustrate the problems within the team.

It is also because of some trivial things that have been taken to a magnifying glass and microscope for research by outsiders.

Naturally, the Bulls players, who also love to surf the Internet, were also affected by these remarks, and their performance on the court became different.

As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill.

Doon observed the small frictions during training, as well as the fact that the coordination on the pitch became less and less cohesive, the defense became more and more slack, and the players even passed the buck to each other on the pitch, and there were some constant arguments......

In order to prevent the situation from escalating, Doon had to contact the management and coaching staff in advance to find out what they really thought in advance, to determine who could be hammered out next, and to determine who was protected by the management and coaching staff.

Sometimes, the team fights happen between the management and the coaching staff, and the two factions also support the players.

If Doon doesn't figure out what the management and coaching staff think, and rushes into it, it will only be a toss in the end.

It is only when the opinions of both sides are unified and it is confirmed that everyone is in favor of Doon to hold a locker room meeting that Doon will clear up the team's current problems in the dressing room.

I have to say that Doon's prestige in the Bulls is too high!

As soon as Doon came to the door, John Paxson and Scott Skeles immediately straightened their attitudes, without any personal thoughts, but simply and neatly stated that they would cooperate with Doon's work, and Doon would knock whoever he wanted.

It can only be said that the value contained in Doon is too great.

Scott Skels wants to hug Doon's thigh and continue to increase the gold content of NBA coaches, and then seek more head coach salaries, or even higher team status.

John Paxson, as the general manager of the team, also needs to pat Doon's ass and strive to complete the contract extension with Doon as soon as possible.

Doon is not so anxious, waiting for the offseason to become a full free agent, and then negotiate with the Bulls management, and it is the Bulls management who is anxious.

It was also because Doon had the unanimous support of the management and the coaching staff, and Doon, who was in charge, instructed the coaching staff to edit some videos, and then asked the management to gather the rest of his teammates for a meeting in the video room.

Any player who is on the pitch will inevitably make some mistakes.

Not to mention, human physical strength and energy are limited. A game has to play 48 minutes, and the main players rarely say more than 30 minutes, so it is impossible to stay focused and play at your best every minute and every second.

Now, Doon has asked the coaching staff to analyze individual players' problems on the pitch on a frame-by-frame basis......

This kind of thing, in fact, has to find fault with Doon, just a game, can be edited for a minute or two.

Facts speak louder than words, though!

When the highlights of more than ten minutes of mistakes, omissions, and indiscriminate shots were played out in the video room, the parties had no way to defend themselves.

After being publicly executed, George and others could only act as ostriches, taking the initiative to lower their heads and not say a word.

However, Duon did not have the idea of lifting it high and gently putting it down, but still took the means of killing chickens and monkeys, and criticized George and others by name in public.

Of course, after the video room meeting, Doon paid for the hearts of the people and invited everyone to his villa for a buffet barbecue with a large number of expensive ingredients.

Even George, who was not in a good mood, did not refuse in the end.

In other words, there are not so many things between NBA teams, as long as they can win, even if the players on the team punch each other, after a while, most of the contradictions can be resolved.

After the video room meeting, the Bulls quickly got on the right track and started their winning streak.

Until December 23, Xiaoka also returned to the team before the start of the Christmas war.

In this way, the bull finally returned to its full body.

It is worth mentioning that before the small card did not return to the Bulls, the Bulls, under the leadership of Doon, had achieved a 17-10 record, temporarily ranking fourth in the East.

While the Raptors, who are fifth in the East, also have 17 wins, they have lost one more game than the Bulls. That is to say, the current situation is that the Bulls are 0.5 wins ahead of the Raptors.

If the comeback battle of the small card loses, this will be the same as the Raptors.

Fortunately, Xiaoka is not in a hurry to prove himself, and after returning to the team, he chooses to start from defense honestly.

Because of this, the return of the small card did not drag down the Bulls on the offensive end, but relieved some pressure on Doon and Curry on the defensive end.

Of course, Xiaoka has just returned, his physical condition has not been adjusted to the best state, and the defensive quality is not particularly high.

However, Xiaoka's attitude is good, he is not too involved in the offensive end, and his performance on the court is generally positive.

The Bulls were already on a winning streak, and the return of the small card did not destroy the team's chemistry, so naturally he would not mess up the game as soon as he came back like George.

As a result, the Bulls quickly opened a win gap with the Raptors and temporarily consolidated the fourth place in the East.

However, with the garbage brothers DeRozan and Lowry, as well as a big center like Valranjonas and a super sixth man like Louis Williams, the Raptors have been very competitive this season.

On the night before Christmas, the Raptors scored another victory, once again closing the gap to the Bulls by 0.5 games.

The Raptors are chasing too closely, and the Bulls don't want to lose the top four spots in the East, so they can only do their best to win the next Christmas game.

"Hassan, tonight's Christmas game may be the key to becoming an All-Star player!"

Before the start of the Christmas War, Doon sharpened his gun and encouraged Bai Biandao.

Doon's remarks are not entirely picturesque, but because the Bulls' opponent in the Christmas game this time is the overall runner-up last season, and the Miami Heat, who are now the first in the East.

The Heat are the biggest obstacle to the Bulls' playoff run out of the East, and they also have two All-Star forwards on the team.

Maybe it's because the Heat's training method is too torturous, and James and Bosh haven't been in very good shape lately, and they're basically stop-and-go.

If White can beat James and Bosh on the inside in the Christmas game, with the attention of fans across the United States.

Then it must be of great help to him becoming an Eastern Conference All-Star forward this season.

"Don't worry, boss, none of them can stop me!"

Hearing Bai Bian's confident answer, Doon suddenly thought of something and reminded: "You should take the game seriously, tonight is a Christmas war!"

The impact of the Heat is very strong, and the penalties this season are relatively strict, and many whistles will not blow.

To avoid accidents, I recommend that you wear a chest protector. ”

In the past two months, the league has stepped up the league-wide blowing penalty in order to avoid being too obvious against the Bulls alone.

This is undoubtedly helpful for stars who are good at elbowing and playing with their bodies.

Therefore, the first place in the East for the Heat this season is as stable as Mount Tai.

The Lakers in the West also struggled to the brink of the playoffs.

And some people benefit because of the rules, and some people suffer because of the rules.

The change in penalties undoubtedly tells players across the league that the league encourages confrontation!

And frequent confrontations, as well as too much action at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, have also led to injuries on the court.

The number of injuries that have occurred in front of Heat players this season has matched the number of previous seasons.

In the next stage, the Bulls have to rush for the record in order to get more All-Star spots that season.

So, tonight's game, it's not just about winning, it's about winning health. (End of chapter)
