Forward to the basket

Chicago, the place where the basketball god is enthroned, no matter how many great players have left their footprints in the NBA, but no one can deny that Joe's time with the Bulls was a symbol of the entire league.

It is estimated that in addition to the official nba icon, Joe's free throw line jump, his wild tongue out slam dunk, and his almost invincible fallback have almost become classic moments in nba.

Most non-American fans basically know this basketball hall from Joe Gang.

Even Stein has to admit that no matter who he tries to make Jordan II, he can only be Jordan II. The previous role model, no matter who the latecomer is, there is no way to surpass this great god.

There is such a crushing former, and later people often look at it with admiration. Six championships and countless personal honors, just thinking about it, has already given up the idea of ​​surpassing him.

Of course, there are also people who try to challenge him, such as Kobe, such as the little emperor who is now on the rise.

And Chicago is the birthplace of Joe's domination of the league. Throughout the 90s, he almost strangled the extravagant hopes of a generation of superstars about championships.

People from Ewing, Miller, Payton to Barkley were basically trampled under the feet of Joe's gang leader, whether they were really convinced or not, anyway, the Bulls won six championships.

The remaining two were robbed by Olajuwon. It was not until 98 that the old guys who had been suppressed for more than ten years were regarded as turned serfs and sang.

But there is a vote of veteran superstars like Ma Long and Stockton who are so amazing and talented that Joe's gang leader has made trouble and missed the championship. I have to say that this is really a success.

But Gang Leader Qiao has already taken his six championships to become the team owner. As for the scenes of his comeback later, he is just unwilling to be lonely and has nothing to do with the glory of the Bulls.

The leader of the Wizards, Joe, was just a joker. Everyone looked at him, and he was more reminiscing about the past.

As for the amazing performances, they are all floating clouds. It is already rare to see such a god-level performance.

In any case, the glorious moments of this generation of basketball gods in the NBA were all created in Chicago. This city, also because of Jordan, began to be known to the world.

It is estimated that no one is more suitable to be a business card of a city than Gangzhu Qiao. At least in the basketball circle, no one can match this guy, not Iverson, nor Kobe.

As for the little emperor who is just taking the lead now, let alone, if you want to wrestle with the masters of the older generation, at least you have to get six championships to be the bottom.

However, it may be that the leader of Joe's gang defeated Chicago's 30-year-old character in one breath, so after this guy patted his ass and left, the Bulls can be said to be devastated.

Regardless of whether it is the No. [-] pick Brand, or Jaylen Rose, Jay Williams, including people like Marshall, no matter who comes, they will not be able to save the sunk Bulls.

The six championships exhausted the potential of the Bulls, and the latecomers could only sink helplessly. This is just like the Celtics now. The dozen or so championships at the beginning made them too brilliant.

However, there is darkness after the glory. There is no doubt about it. After reaching the peak, you are waiting for you to slide all the way. The only difference is how fast you skate.

There are not one or two teams that collapse immediately after winning the championship. It's just that the Bulls' sinking is unacceptable to the Chicagoans. From the championship to not being able to make the playoffs, Chicago is also enduring failure.

But you really need to admire the old guy Jerry Reinsdorf as a standard businessman. He can still think about making a comeback when the team's performance is sluggish to a certain extent.

And the Bulls do have such tenacity, and I don't think any team can gather rookies like this. The average team is probably just a bad season or two, waiting for the No. [-] pick.

As a result, the Bulls did not follow the usual path. At the beginning, they thought Brand could not make it, so they sent him away. After two years of drafting from 03 to 04, they built a team in one breath. .

That's really a whole team, from point guard to scoring, from small forward to power forward, with various styles of forward and guard swingmen, and the Bulls have caught a lot of them. The only difference is the inside.

Chris Duhon, Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Nocioni, such a new generation of young stars, really made Bulls fans happy.

However, this group is small, and they did not live up to the trust of the fans. In 04-05 and 05-06, the winning percentages of the two seasons all exceeded 50.00%. This is no longer a recovery, it is completely bottoming out.

The ferocious energy seemed to attack the leader of the Eastern Conference. If the Heat and the Pistons hadn't suppressed this group of ferocious calves, maybe they would have created some miracles.

But what a group of rookies lack is experience. They lost experience in the playoffs, but they don't have to worry about this problem this season. Ben Wallace accepted the Bulls' 4-year 6000 million contract.

This business should definitely be thanks to Sanders, because of this guy, "Big Ben" will leave Detroit where he has played for many years.

Perhaps in Sanders' eyes, isn't it a dream for a veteran over 1000 years old, especially a blue-collar insider with little offensive ability, to get a contract of more than [-] million?

Moreover, Sanders does not want to follow Larry Brown's old path. In his opinion, the defensive style of play has allowed the Pistons to achieve the ultimate, and now they should change their thinking about team building.

The old tradition of defense cannot be thrown away at once, but on this basis, the Pistons must also strengthen their offense, otherwise the experience of losing to the Spurs will be repeated.

It's just that throwing away the core of his team's defense, whether it can make the Pistons transfer, only the devil knows.

The Bulls are very happy to do this business, and they can exchange for such a guy with full experience, which is definitely worth the 1000 million contract.

This not only weakened the lineup of the Eastern Conference's powerful Pistons, but also gave the Bulls championship-level experience, and by the way, even the defensive strength may be greatly improved.

Most people think that this deal is a big profit, but the result has to be tested by the game.

But with "Big Ben", plus PJ Brown and Ty Thomas, who have impact and experience, it is difficult for the Bulls not to show off. The third place in the Eastern Conference is now only their temporary goal.

Although the head coach Skiles did not shout out the slogan of rushing to the playoffs and winning the championship, the vigorous energy of these calves is obviously aimed at that goal.

At the beginning of the season, a three-game winning streak, a four-game winning streak, whether it is home or away, the Bulls are extremely competitive, especially the players who have played for about two years are becoming more mature.

And many people are facing the pressure of the contract year, regardless of whether they really want to restore the former glory for Chicago, even if they are fighting for their own jobs, they are fighting very fiercely and desperately.

Even strong Eastern teams like the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons have to be wary of this group of calves. Pat Riley is even more blunt, "The Bulls now have the ability to hit the championship."

Regardless of whether this old god is pouring milk soup on his competitors, or whether he really thinks they are a threat, anyway, the Bulls have slowly squeezed into the ranks of the strong teams in the East.

Facing such an opponent, it's no wonder Rivers started scratching his head on the plane, especially after losing to the Milwaukee Bucks. He has no certainty of winning this game in Chicago.

Rivers wants to wrestle with the top players in the Eastern Conference, but judging by the current state and situation, the Celtics may slip out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference at any time if they fail to do so.

Now the Eagles, Pacers, and Wizards, these teams are all staring behind the Celtics with wide-eyed eyes. If there is a chance to step on them, no one will be soft.

And looking at the fierce front and back swing group of the Bulls, Rivers really feels that the perimeter is about to be penetrated by opponents.

Not only that, those Chicagoans are not only powerful outside shooting ability and athletic talent, their inside is also a headache.

Needless to say, the old fritters like pj brown, although they are very old, but they are effective. In a game of more than ten minutes, they can score six or seven points and get four or five rebounds. It is not beautiful, but it is enough use.

And there is an old guy like Thomas to help, and this season also introduced Ben Wallace, this kind of inside strength is not something everyone can bear.

Such a vote of inside players is entirely a practical route, and their task is to stick to it!

The scoring ability may not be strong, but you can't afford to have such a vote of old guys fighting against your defensive strength. The Celtics' offensive strength is stronger in the efficiency of the interior.

If he hits his sharpest spear against the big inside shield prepared by the Bulls, he is simply making himself uncomfortable.

Whether the spear can pierce the opponent is still unknown, but Rivers is sure that even if it is a confrontational situation, it will be a big trouble for the Celtics.

After all, the Celtics' offensive firepower on the periphery is somewhat accurate compared to Pierce and Szczerbiak. If they compete with each other for firepower, it will be a big loss.

And when the Celtics arrived at the United Center, watching the crazy Bulls fans, Rivers felt an unprecedented pressure.

Even when he was head-to-head against the Mavericks, he didn't have such a sense of oppression. After all, it was his home court, but the current United Center Arena really lived up to the nickname of the Windy City.

The sound made by more than 1 fans was like a gust of wind reverberating in the arena. The low sound seemed to be a deadly threat, warning the Celtics.

This is the territory of the calves!It's best not to try to take away the victory here!

The Windy City has issued a warning, and all the Celtics can do is wait for the game to start...
