After sending off the Grizzlies, there are three games left in February, with the opponents being the Pistons, Wizards and Warriors. These three teams are really hard to play, especially the Pistons and Warriors. These two teams have completely surpassed the Bulls in terms of interior configuration. At least in terms of offensive ability, the Bulls cannot compare with these two teams.

So based on this, Klaus did not renew his contract with Chandler immediately. He was waiting for Li Lei to decide after next season. If Li Lei stayed, then Chandler would naturally sign it. If Li Lei could not stay, it would be useless to keep Chandler, a defensive inside line. Although his defensive ability and defense area are large, it is still much worse than the pillar of Li Lei, the Bulls.

Li Lei's failure to renew his contract with the Bulls also touches the nerves of many teams. The Lakers are undoubtedly the most eager one. They have not renewed their contract with Kobe. They are also waiting for Li Lei. If Li Lei chooses to become an unrestricted libero next season, then the Lakers recruit him. Even if Kobe and O'Neal leave, the Lakers can quickly form a championship team around Li Lei.

Although many people say that insiders win the world, the appearance of Li Lei and Jordan has completely changed this point. Both of them are the ultimate examples of outside players. One is to achieve the ultimate in scoring, and the other is to achieve the ultimate in organization and scoring. Therefore, using Li Lei to build a team is more effective than any star.

If you don’t believe it, look at the data of Hamilton and Rashid in the past two seasons, and then look at the data of Brand and Richardson. Is the comparison between the two very big? This is the impact brought by Li Lei.

The most important thing for Li Lei not to renew his contract is to take the initiative in his own hands. Loyalty is not that important for him, a time traveler. Li Lei is a pragmatist. If the Bulls cannot bring him what he wants, then leaving is an inevitable choice. If the Bulls can, then why should they leave? Although there are many players who have expired, as long as they don’t leave, they can just find a few people to replace him. Klaus and Reinsdorf are very clear about this.

On February 25, the Bulls welcomed the Pistons at home. In the previous game, the Pistons broke Philadelphia by 20 points. Larry Brown slapped his old club in the face. This time, facing the Bulls, he hoped that the Pistons could continue this momentum.

Although Brand's defensive ability is not as high-level as Daben, at least there is no problem with single defense. In addition, his offensive skills are very comprehensive, which makes the Pistons' offense more abundant, but their defense is still a big problem.

This game well illustrates this point. Billups became more and more stable in the number one position. Moreover, with the popularity of Li Lei's outside playing style, Billups was no longer so contempt by the head coach. Before Li Lei, Billups could be said to be the person who liked to throw three-pointers in the point guard position. Although he was very slut at that time, I have to say that this guy has used his brain to play since he was young.

Bilups and Li Lei fought for a slight pound. It was not Li Lei's release, but Bilups really made a big shot in the first half. He scored 12 points like Li Lei. Although he took more shots than Li Lei, there were too few point guards like this with Li Lei in this league.

However, Billups' performance did not put the Pistons in the lead, because Jerry Starkhouse in the second position was beaten by Hamilton with one hand. Seeing the opponent's performance, Choudumas was even more depressed. If Jerry Starkhouse had not been in a squad, Richard Hamilton would have been the Pistons. How compatible his playing style would be with the Pistons. Although Jerry Starkhouse would have more functionally than Hamilton, he was a natural colander on the defensive end. It was not that he did not work hard enough in his defense, but that he did not have the string in his mind at all.

This is also the most uncomfortable thing about Larry Brown. Prince Prince, the third-place, did not show the temperament of a senior in the face of the social melon. Instead, he was taken advantage of his weight and carried several times in a row.

The Pistons played very hard, which can be said to be the best for Billups alone, while other teammates were all headwinds. This kind of game is undoubtedly difficult for the parties involved. Their new player Brand faced his old club 10-2 and scored 7 points with free throws. This performance can be described as failing.

In the end, the Bulls won the Pistons, and the difference between the opponent and the Bulls' victory further widened. However, this team is really a problem in the playoffs. If Larry Brown solves the defense problem of the No. 2 position, the team's threat is even greater than the Celtics.

After playing against the Pistons, the Bulls went to challenge the Wizards away a day later. In this game, the Bulls were directly fooled by Arenas and Larry Hughes. The Wizards' backcourt duo scored 65 points, and they successfully defended their home court.

The Bulls' winning streak was ended, and losing this game made many fans feel that it is really impossible to surpass the record of 72-10, unless the Bulls maintain a complete victory in the game after this, but that is too difficult.

Before playing against the Warriors, Yao Ming came to Chicago. In addition to him, there was also the head coach of the national team, Wang Fei. Because he won the World Championships two years ago and won the Asian Games championship, Wang Fei successfully retained his coach position, and Lithuanian Yunas could only eat badly in Europe.

"Lei Zi, do you participate in this year's Olympics?"

Wang Fei and Li Lei were not polite, so they asked directly that the current men's basketball team is much better than in their previous lives. However, if there were no Li Lei, relying on Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi alone, and then adding Yi Jianlian's dolls who played in NCAA, it would be very difficult to achieve good results. Although the quarterfinals are not a problem, it would be not so easy to win medals.

"If I'm not surprised, I should participate." It is still necessary to participate in such an Olympic competition. Emmm, of course, Li Lei wants to take advantage of this competition to get more competitive points. He wants to copy too many things.

Hearing Li Lei's agreement, Wang Fei's big stone fell to the ground. As long as Li Lei is in the national team, the Olympics will be guaranteed to be the semi-finals. There is no doubt that as long as he holds his legs tightly, it is not ordinary difficulty for other head coaches to replace him.

Yao Ming and Li Lei had a lot of greetings, but of course they were more about "setting the accounts" with Li Lei.

"Damn it, come here and say, why did you tell Lauren Jackson about my contact information? Do you know how much I suffered because of this? Don't run away, stop me."

After Yao Ming saw Wang Fei leave, he immediately showed his hideous face. Li Lei, a bastard, really killed himself.
