Basketball

On October 26, the NBA regular season continued. Since there was no game among the traffic teams today, many fans did not pay much attention to the game. However, every season there will be unexpected teams rising, and there will also be unexpected strong teams falling. It is precisely because of this uncertainty that everyone will pay attention to some teams they don't like. After the start of this season, the performance of the Mavericks and Rockets was unsatisfactory. The rise of the Bulls on the eastern side is the most surprising.

Today the Bulls visited Oakland to challenge the Magic. The outside world was more optimistic about the Magic winning this game. After all, the Magic introduced super shooters like Bane during the offseason. In addition, the team also has two star-level strikers in Banchero and Xiao Wa. The lineup is much more luxurious than the drafted Bulls. However, in this game, the Bulls have been suppressing the Magic. In the end, they relied on more flowers to defeat the Magic 110-98.

We won't go into the specific process of this game. The Magic's loss can be attributed to their poor chemical reaction. The team's distribution of ball rights has been unreasonable since acquiring Bane, and the team's three-point shooting is still very bad. The team made 3 of 24 three-pointers in this campaign. Such a three-point efficiency, how can it be possible to win in this era. In this campaign, Bane made 7 of 12 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. Although he is the Magic's best shooter, the Magic only has one sharpshooter, and the opponent's focused defense can also limit him.

In this campaign, Banchero scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist. The number one pick sacrificed the ball after the start of the regular season. He wanted Bain to integrate into the system. He scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. The opponent focused on Xiaowa in this game, which also made him passive. Facing the attack, his ball was too slow, and the Magic was too obsessed with singles in this game. The team only had 13 assists in total. How could they win?

Looking at the Bulls, their offense was extremely smooth, and each player was able to play his or her own value: Vucevic made 5 of 7 shots from the field and scored 15 points and 8 rebounds efficiently, while Jones made 3 of 7 shots and scored 13 points. With 5 rebounds and 8 assists, he is the second engine of the Bulls. Huerter scored 11 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Dosunmu scored 15 points and 2 assists, Pawei scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and Jaylen Smith scored 16 points and 3 rebounds.

Gidi, the cornerstone of the team, made 7 of 18 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. In this campaign, the Bulls team sent a total of 26 assists. Seven of them scored in double figures, playing the ultimate team basketball. After the start of this season, the Bulls gave people the impression that they had changed their style of play. Last season, whether it was when LaVine was on the team or when White was on the team, the Bulls focused on star basketball. As a result, everyone has seen that their abilities are very average.

With White injured and absent this season, Gidi, as the team's first core, has brought something different to the Bulls. The team is now focusing on team basketball. This is not the first game they have played like this. The last game was against the Pistons, which was also a playoff team in the Eastern Conference. As a result, a total of 6 Bulls players scored more than 14 points, and the team had 29 assists, defeating the Pistons. It turns out that having a top point guard adds too much to the team.

Since the start of this season, although the Bulls have only played two games, they have won two consecutive games, both of which defeated teams in the conference playoffs. The team has averaged 6 players scoring more than 12 points per game so far this season. This is great. After last season's playoffs, everyone should have discovered that the current league no longer relies on star basketball, but on lineup depth. Last season, the Pacers and Thunder relied on this to reach the finals.

Gidi has used such a lineup to their greatest advantage. It has to be said that Gidi is indeed powerful. He is worthy of being a player selected by the Thunder. Since the beginning of the new season, Gidi has averaged 20 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7 assists per game. His three-point shooting rate is 43%, and he averages 1.5 three-pointers per game. After he practiced three-pointers last season, he has become an excellent ball-handling core, but the Bulls made money when they renewed their contract.

When the Bulls renewed his contract, he only gave him a four-year, 100 million contract. To be honest, based on Gidi's performance last season and his potential, he was worth a five-year, 150 million contract. However, due to the poor free market conditions at the time, many teams did not have sufficient salary space. Under such circumstances, the Bulls also dared to lower the price. In the end, Gidi accepted this unequal contract, and the Bulls successfully missed it.

Now the contract matter can be put aside. After all, there is no regret medicine to buy. What Gidi has to do next is to lead the Bulls to achieve good results and establish his core position, so that he can get more attention and pave the way for winning a big contract in the future. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Bulls? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
