Chapter 622 [Injuries strike]

In the same game, the Jazz defeated the Warriors 7-99 away, with the Trident's attack power super strong, and Kirilenko became from core to substitute.

The Rockets defeated the Lakers 95-93 away.

Kobe scored 45 points, including the solo scored in the fourth quarter, but made 3 of 32 shots, only hit one of the 27 free throws, and was in poor condition. If he had a more accurate free throw, the Lakers would win.

As a result, the Rockets narrowly won 2 points with Bathir's three-pointer in the last 2.5 seconds.

There is also a small behind this game. Kobe kept asking for a deal in the summer of 2007. When he appeared, he was booed by fans of Los Angeles. Although he failed in the end, he still offended some fans.

The next day, other teams appeared one after another, and there were many upsets.

In the first game, the Cavaliers were tyrannical by the Mavericks 9-74 at home, and Terry, Crawford and Nowitzki scored 20.

James was in a sluggish game, with only 2 shots, 6 of 0 free throws, 0 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and 5 turnovers.

Bibby also performed poorly, making 3 of 3 shots, 4 of 3 points, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 9 points and 4 assists. He lost in the match against Terry.

Moreover, Josh Howard did not fight in this game, and James was defeated by Kidd, who had just joined forces and the "German Chariot" Nowitzki.

No one has ever praised Nowitzki's defense, but he changed defenses again and again in this game and made timely breakthroughs. His height and wingspan covered James in time, making it impossible for him to easily rush into the basket.

James' inaccurate shooting from mid-range and long distance has not been improved, which is his biggest weakness.

The schedule this year is a bit strange. The Celtics didn't make their debut until the fourth day, defeating the Wizards 03-3 at home. The Big Three scored 67 points together.

The Bulls defeated the 76ers at home and won two consecutive victories.

Wang Jun scored 24 points, rebounds and 3 assists, not too much, but Iguodala, who was defending, only scored.

After Iverson left, Iguodala became the boss of the team, but he was not qualified and did not adapt to the transformation from a role player to a core, and his ability to hold the ball and attack was not strong.

The Bulls also exposed some problems. For example, Calderon's defense, 76ers point guard Andre Miller scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and broke through Calderon many times.

There was a little unhappiness within the Bulls. Chandler was dissatisfied with his relegation to become a substitute, and the coaching staff allowed Oden to start. When he was training in the team, he showed stronger strength than Oden.

In the past, Chandler was honest in his blue-collar work and won two championships. After he was affirmed in his defensive end, he felt that he was underestimated and should become an All-Star.

Chandler is indeed very efficient. He is likely to become a double-double player as long as he is allowed to play for more than 30 minutes, but Skeles always let him play for about 25 minutes before resting.

Although Oden started, he only played less than 20 minutes per game, scoring 7.6 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 blocks. He did not ask for the ball and worked hard.

Many fans complained that Oden had too few opportunities to perform, and that he might not be able to train him to become a star.

Skeles has a headache. He mainly plays offensive basketball, is not good at arranging defense, and doesn't know how to use such a center. He is personally better at using the inside line who can shoot. After covering, he waits for opportunities on the perimeter.

Therefore, David Lee still has many opportunities to perform in every game, and Lewis is the same. These two inside players who can open up space are the key to Skells' tactical system.

In the third game, the Bulls defeated the Bucks 5-7 away.

After winning three consecutive victories, the unlucky thing happened. Chandler came on the bench and injured his right ankle after only 4 minutes. He was hit by Gazuric while grabbing a frontcourt rebound, and was injured in unstable landing.

Chandler is very good now and will be out of the post-match inspection for 3 to 4 weeks.

Chandler was extremely depressed when he wanted to return to the starting lineup but was injured. He was very worried that when he recovered, Oden had already settled in the starting position. After all, this newcomer's physical fitness is better than him.

After the Bulls scored a six-game winning streak, they lost the game 97-0 against the Raptors at home.

Calderon was beaten by TJ Ford without any suspense. Wang Jun was the main defender of Ford's attacks but not the target, and he was slightly restricted. But there were many pitchers on the Raptors, and he could still ensure attack.

The turning point of the game was in the third quarter, and Lewis was very active in defense. He was unfortunately injured when he tried to block Bosh, and immediately left the court and returned to the locker room.

After examination, Lewis' right ligament was torn and he would be out of the market for at least two months, which would undoubtedly add insult to injury for the Bulls who were already missing Chandler.

The Bulls officially said that Lewis's injury was not optimistic and he had to undergo a surgery, so he had to be absent for a long time.

Fortunately, Lewis is a left-handed player. An injury to his right hand will not affect his shooting feel. Otherwise, he had just renewed his contract and would probably become a bad contract.

After losing Lewis, the Bulls' tactical cooperation was forced to make changes, and David Lee entered the starting lineup.

David Lee and Calderon have two defensive weaknesses, and Oden is also inexperienced. The Bulls lost to the Spurs first and then to the Suns, suffering three consecutive losses.

After the game, Skeles couldn't help criticizing the defense of several players, and it was terrible that people were always overwhelmed easily.

Oden still plays for about 20 minutes each game and needs exercise. He is good at making a meat shield on the defensive end, and is also good at defending the low post alone. When he encounters an inside line who can pull out the mid-range shot, he will be defeated, and the pick-and-roll is easily overwhelmed by the defender.

Veteran PJ Brown can no longer keep up with the pace, so he can only play around with him for a while.

Howard's mid-range shot ability has deteriorated and defended the black hole, and Skyles is unwilling to let him play.

Ammondson is hard-working in defense, and the offensive end is equal to few people.

Wang Jun also realized that if two people were injured, they would not be able to win easily like last year. Lewis, Chandler's ability to switch to pick-and-roll was crucial. When these two positions became weak on offense and defense, everything was different.

Stars can provide stable scoring firepower on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, no matter how powerful a player is, they cannot solve the problem by themselves. They must rely on the whole.

After losing to the Suns at home, the Bulls and their group flew to Los Angeles and started their away journey.

This time, Abby didn't follow.

Some people inside ESPN think it is unfair to let Abby steal the opportunity to show her face. In several big city teams, ESPN arranges to follow the team reporters. If Abby also interviews in Los Angeles, she will steal the work of her colleagues.

So, Abby can stay in Chicago for holidays, and even if she goes to Los Angeles with her, she will not be responsible for the interview. She can watch the game in a hotel or support Wang Jun in the audience.

After the showdown with Theron in summer, Abby didn't want to go to Los Angeles to meet Theron, so he simply stayed at home.

The Bulls will play against the Clippers away, a simple game.

"Captain" Brand was accidentally injured during training, causing a rupture of his left Achilles tendon, which is likely to be reimbursed for the season. Point guard Livingston was seriously injured and has not returned yet.

Kassel is old, and the Clippers don't even have a qualified starting point guard. Substitute guard Dandykao has no organizational ability, is just like breaking through the dribble, and has a bad defense.

The Clippers' lineup is seriously uneven. The Bulls' abandoned player Tim Thomas was able to start, so they will definitely win this game.

Theron was too busy filming, so he still had a night show and agreed not to meet during the day.

Wang Jun had a holiday the next day after he arrived in Los Angeles. He wanted to relax and went out alone early in the morning.
