Chapter 459 [Transaction before the deadline]
In addition to Wang Jun, four players in the East scored in double digits.
James scored 29 points and 6 rebounds and assists; Wade made 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 6 points and 5 assists; Billups scored 5 points and 7 assists; O'Neal made 7 of 9 shots, 5 free throws, 7 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
Iverson, who averaged points, performed poorly, made 0 shots, made 2 of 4 free throws, and scored only 2 assists.
Kobe Kobe's performance in the Western Conference was also bad, shooting 4, 0 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 7 rebounds and assists, and the data was very comprehensive.
McGrady scored the highest 6 points in the game, had no rebounds, sent 2 assists, made 5 of 26 shots, and made 4 of 0 three-pointers, with good efficiency.
The West lost in long shots. Except for McGrady scored 4 three-pointers, no one made a long shot. Ray Allen made 0 of 7 shots, Kobe made 0 of 5 shots, and Nowitzki made 0 of 0 of 5 shots.
Wang Jun made 5 in the Eastern Conference three-pointers, Billups made 2 in 5, and James made 4 in 0. Although Rashid Wallace and Arenas felt poor, they also beat the poor 4-of-26 shots in the Eastern Conference.
The annual All-Star Game has come to an end successfully, and the only regret is that McGrady failed to get a vp at home.
Wang Jun and the Pistons are called players who are unconfused. The three defenders are very hard, while Wang Jun is serious when he catches the ball and makes a move. He doesn't perform and is very efficient.
James scored the most points and won the VP. Two of them have become stars in the 200th class.
However, O'Neal is the most popular in the game. His performance interprets the nature of the All-Star Game. She grimaced, grabbed the basket and pulled up, passed the ball through the crotch, threw and dunk the free throw, which was all full of entertainment.
What everyone hopes to see in the All-Star Game is O'Neal's performance. If the VP can be decided by the audience, O'Neal will definitely be elected.
That night, Wang Jun and his teammates returned to Chicago by plane, and Abby went to Cleveland to continue her work. She just gave James an exclusive interview and had to sort out the release tomorrow. She was also very busy on the weekend.
Many teams have games on the 2nd. In comparison, Wang Jun is lucky. He plays the Bucks at home on the 22nd, at least he doesn't have to fly to another place to meet his teammates by himself.
Wang Jun was a little tired and scored only 26 points, making 2 of 7 three-pointers, which felt bad.
Hinrich finally played well, making 0 of 7 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
The two led the team to 9 and defeated the Bucks without any danger.
The next day, the Bulls lost to the Pistons again.
This season, the Pistons have become the Bulls' nemesis. They are good at defending against a certain star. So far this season, no star has scored 40 when facing the Pistons, and Wang Jun only scored 26 points in this game.
Faced with the double-teaming Wang Jun passed many balls again and again, his teammates' touch made him collapse, and Luo Er Deng could not make a three-pointer. This game of central shot was not accurate, and Nosioni also sleepwalking.
Christie played for 6 minutes on the bench and did not play any. Hinrich should have been a reliable three-pointer. However, he made 4 of 2 shots, 6 of 3-pointers, and failed to make multiple open jump shots.
In the match against Billups, Hinrich was at a disadvantage.
The facts are right in front of him. Sinrich is not convinced. Not to mention competing for the boss with Wang Jun, even if Billups is in the Bulls, he can squeeze him to the second position. He is only suitable to be the second leader. He is still not very capable.
The Pistons' offense is not weak, and they bloom more. Substitutes Delfino, McDyce, and Morris Evans all played a role, not like the Larry Brown period. Five averaged 5 to 40 minutes per game, while the substitutes went on 6 to 0 minutes to watch the fun.
Wang Jun's data fell slightly in the two games, and the gap with Kobe widened a little further.
The 24th is the trading deadline, and Bulls General Manager John Paxson is preparing to find someone from the free market, Piakowski.
Piakowski is really bad. It is useless to play except to open up the three-pointer opportunity. He played 29 games this season, and then waited for activation on the injury list and did not make it to the roster. He was not injured, but the coaching staff lost patience with him.
His strength is not as good as the marginal guard Janeiro Pago who is not drafted into the NB. At least Pago can break through and shoot, although his shooting percentage is not high.
There are no strong people in the free market, and the only useful Matt Barnes can defend. After being cut by the Knicks, he joined the 76ers freely.
Soon, the Bulls discovered a good choice.
The Rockets cut veteran Joan Barry.
Joan Barry is 7 years old and averages 4 points and 6 rebounds and assists per 7 minutes per game. He scored 24 points in the game against the Kings, which is amazing.
In order to strengthen defense, the Rockets exchanged Baxter for defensive shooting guard Bogans, and Barry no longer has a position.
His ability has declined significantly compared to last season, scoring 66 points and 24 assists last season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 4.
Everyone in the Barry family is good at shooting, even this season, his three-point shooting percentage is 75, and he basically doesn't shoot except shooting three-pointers.
Rockets McGrady and Yao Ming took turns to get injured, and they didn't have enough defensive ability to attract, so Barry didn't have so many easy moves. It was different from the Bulls. His three-point ability can help the team. He is also experienced in the defensive end, and no matter how bad the defense is, it is better than Piakowski and he will not do anything randomly.
In this way, Skyles doesn't need to consider letting Sinrich and Du Hong play with two defenders, and defense often has problems.
Barry has always been an excellent role player. He has not played a few games since he joined the league in 9 years and has not played for more than 25 minutes per game. However, he is always very successful and has a job, which is a miracle.
To put it bluntly, he is good at being a role player, he is a top supporting role with a career three-point shooting percentage of 92.
After discussing with the scouts and head coach, Paxson contacted Barry's agent.
After being laid off, Barry was ready to retire. He was very happy to receive the invitation from the Bulls and immediately expressed his willingness to join the franchise for the basic salary.
The Rockets are very bad, and there is basically no hope for the playoffs this year. The Bulls are indeed a strong team in the Eastern Conference and can play in the playoffs. Any veteran who doesn't want to play in the playoffs is still lucky enough to be able to mix with rings before retirement.
The Bulls' chances of winning the championship are very low, but experts believe that they may still be defeated to the end. The final results depend on whether Wang Jun's performance is stable and whether the young players' psychological qualities are strong.
Bulls players are not lacking in fighting spirit. As long as they don’t have an imbalance in their mentality in the playoffs, they are strong teams.
Paxson's requirements for Barry are very simple. When needed, they can play for a few minutes. They usually train to lead new players and teach them to adjust their state better. Unstable state is a big problem for the Bulls at present.
After receiving the reply, the Bulls announced the layoffs and gave up Piakowski, a small forward with air-level defense.
The Bulls' lineup is no longer planned to change again this season, and the roster of 4 players is finally confirmed as follows.
Center Tyson Chandler, Chuck Hayes, Bryan Grant.
Power forward David Lee, Marik Allen, Dalius Sangela.
Small forward Lorden and Nosioni.
Scoring guards Wang Jun, Christie, and Joan Barry.
Point guards Hinrich, Duhon, Pago.
