NBA: James wants to team up with me

The 2011-12 season is still too early for now, but Wang Chong must plan ahead. Even if the Bulls are hit by a wave of injuries and lose to the Heat and steal the championship from the opponent, they cannot let the opponent win too much. It's easy, even if you pick them off, you still have to peel off the skin from them.

As for the current season, that is, the 2010-11 season, unless unexpected injuries occur, the Heat will not be able to beat the Bulls anyway.

At the end of December 2010, just like in previous years, apart from the Christmas game, the one that attracted the most attention was the opening of the All-Star voting.

Although Wang Chong has spent all his time in the All-Star Game in recent years, and it is enough to get one or two worthless reputations like All-Star AMVP, and there is no need to waste energy, but after the annual voting starts, he But he can always suppress other players in the league with his super popularity and top the list.

This year is no exception.

The results of the first round of voting were announced at the end of December. Wang Chong once again became the top vote-getter in the first round with an absolute advantage, leaving behind everyone including Kobe, James, Howard, Wade and others.

This is not surprising. In recent years, Wang Chong has been the undisputed strongest player in the league. He led his team to win three consecutive championships and won the regular season MVP three times in four years. Many basketball fans actually don't care about the player's playing style. They are more concerned about the player's playing style. I like strong players because they are powerful enough. Wang Chong is the strongest player in the NBA in recent years, so he can naturally attract the attention and support of this group of fans.

However, except for Wang Chong, the voting situation of other players in the Bulls team is not optimistic.

Garnett was only ranked fifth in the forward position in the first-round voting. In addition to Wang Chong, the top four also included James in second place, and Stoudemire, who traveled east from the Western Suns to the Knicks, in third place. , and Kevin Durant in fourth place.

The competition among the forwards in the Eastern Conference is extremely fierce. Garnett will definitely not be able to get a spot in the All-Star starting lineup. However, he is a well-known veteran after all. Even if his personal data performance is slightly worse this season, even if it is only based on his defensive contribution, plus Nate is also very likely to be selected as an All-Star substitute.

Curry ranks fourth in the voting for Eastern Conference guards. The three people ahead of him are Wade, Rose and Rondo.

In fact, Curry can contribute a stable 21 points and 6 assists this season, which is not bad. However, he is only a second-year rookie after all and has a small fan base, and the top three guards are not at all intimidated by their ability compared with Curry.

韦德和罗斯都是25+5的数据，朗多这个赛季在凯尔特人也打出11+5+11的两双数据，成为新一代传统控卫的标志性人物之一。

Like Garnett, although Curry may not have a chance in the voting, with his outstanding personal performance, there is no problem in being selected as an All-Star substitute.

After going full circle, it turns out that apart from Wang Chong, the Bulls' most popular player in the All-Star voting is center Gasol.

There are really not many players who can excel at the center position in the Eastern Conference. Howard is far ahead among the centers in the Eastern Conference, and behind him is Gasol, even though he only got as many votes as Howard in the first round. Less than half, but even with half of Howard's votes, he is still a player who can go sideways among Eastern Conference centers.

This is no exaggeration at all. Just look at who are the top five in the Eastern Conference All-Star voting in the 10-11 season.

The first is Howard. There is no need to waste words. The second is actually Shaquille O'Neal. Originally, O'Neal only averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds per game with the Celtics, but he was still ranked third among centers in the Eastern Conference due to his super popularity. two.

Moving on, the third place is Joakim Noah, averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Fourth place Andrew Bogut, averaging 12.8 points and 11 rebounds per game.

Fifth place Al Horford, averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds per game.

Gasol now comes to the Bulls in the East, and is highly regarded by Wang Chong. He has become the team's main center. It is normal for his ability to surpass other centers. Of course, with Howard's presence, Gasol will definitely not be the starting center. Being selected as an All-Star as a substitute is a sure thing.

With this breakdown, the Bulls have a high probability of having four players selected as All-Stars at the same time this season.

Voting king Wang Chong will definitely be the All-Star starter, with Garnett, Curry and Gasol as substitutes.

Compared to last season, when the Bulls only had one All-Star player, Wang Chong, this season's Bulls are really taking off!

The remaining three games of the Bulls in December were against the Pistons, Bucks and Nets. The Bulls naturally had no pressure and won easily. This also made the end of 12, and the Bulls' record reached an exaggerated 3 wins. 2010 loss, and they are catching up to the Bulls' record of 30 wins and 1 losses just two seasons ago.

If the Bulls can improve their record of 73 wins in the regular season this season, to 74 or even 75... it is hard to imagine whether any team in the league will be able to surpass the miracle achieved by this Bulls team in the future.

But Wang Chong has mentioned before that the Bulls' main goal this season is not to break the regular season record, but to ensure 10-11 while Garnett and Billups still have a certain fighting capacity among the old Big Three. The season championship was successfully won.

Wang Chong does not think that a team that keeps winning is a good thing. Continuous winning will not only make players gradually slack off and underestimate the enemy, but also increase the psychological pressure of players, who are unwilling to lose and do not want to lose. Thoughts will make them work harder on the court.

It's like a string that is constantly being tightened. If it is not loosened properly, it will break sooner or later.

Especially the Bulls are currently in the transition stage between old and new players. The veterans are too old, and the main force among the young players is Curry, a player with certain glass attributes.

In the original 10-11 season, Curry's attendance rate was pretty good. He played in 74 games and averaged 18.6 points, 4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. However, in fact, starting from this season, Curry has sprained his foot frequently and has been suffering from severe injuries. Troubled.

Although such a trend has not yet been shown, in order to pursue victory in the game, long-term, high-intensity competition will inevitably increase the burden on the body, and may even cause Curry to suffer a serious ankle injury early.

Therefore, in the next game, what Wang Chong has to consider is how to reduce the burden on the Bulls. After all, not everyone has the same comprehensive durability and injury resistance as him.

In early January 2011, the new year began with the Bulls losing.

On January 1, the Bulls challenged the Boston Celtics in an away game. In this game, Garnett was on a truce. The Bulls were empty inside. The combination of Celtics insiders Millsap and Jefferson both scored 2+ points to help the Celtics. The Celtics defeated the Bulls 20:104, ending the Bulls' winning streak.

Once the undefeated streak was broken, the Bulls' invincible momentum seemed to be broken. In the same week, the team lost to the Dallas Mavericks.

In the first two months of the regular season, the Bulls only lost one game, but as the schedule entered January, the Bulls lost two games in just one week.

Fans watching the game all know that the reason why the Bulls lost is directly related to resting the main players, but what they can't figure out is that they haven't even finished half of the regular season. Isn't it a bit too early to prepare for the game?
