In the game on the same day, the Jazz defeated the Warriors 117-99 on the road, the Trident attack was super strong, and Kirilenko was reduced from the core to the bench.

The Rockets beat the Lakers 95-93 on the road.

Bryant scored 45 points, including 18 in the fourth quarter, but made just 18 of 27 free throws on 13-of-32 shooting. If he had made a good free throw, the Lakers would have won.

As a result, the Rockets narrowly outscored by two points thanks to Battier's three-point shot in the final 2.5 seconds.

Another tidbit in this game is that Kobe Bryant has been asking to be traded in the summer of 2007, and when he played, he was booed by the fans in Los Angeles, and although he didn't make it in the end, he still offended some fans.

The next day, other teams appeared one after another, and there were many upsets.

The Cavaliers were brutalized by the Mavericks 98-74 at home in the first game, and Terry, Crawford, and Nowitzki cut 20+.

James was in a slump all overall, shooting just 2-of-11 from the field and 6-of-10 from the free-throw line, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds, five assists and five turnovers.

Bibby was also terrible, shooting 3-of-13, 1-of-4 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with nine points and four assists. He lost the battle against Terry.

And Josh Howard didn't play this time, James was guarded by Kidd, who had just joined, and Nowitzki, the "German tank".

No one has ever praised Nowitzki's defense, but he has been able to break through every time in this game, and his height and reach cover James in time, making it impossible for him to easily rush to the basket.

James' mid-to-long-range shooting problem has not improved, which is his biggest weakness.

This year's schedule was a bit odd, with the Celtics not making their debut until the fourth day. Beat the Wizards 103-83 at home. The Big Three combined for 67 points.

The Bulls beat the 76ers at home to snap a two-game winning streak.

Wang Jun scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Not too much, but Iguodala scored only 11 points.

After Iverson left, Iguodala became the team's boss. But he's not qualified yet, hasn't adapted to the transition from role player to core, and doesn't have a strong offensive ability with the ball.

The Bulls also exposed some problems, such as Calderon's defense, 76ers point guard Andre Miller scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and broke Calderon many times.

There was also a bit of unhappiness within the Bulls team. Chandler was unhappy that he had been reduced to a substitute, and the coaching staff started Oden. When training in the team, he showed that he was stronger than Oden.

In the past, Chandler was honestly a blue-collar worker and won two championships. After his role on the defensive end was recognized, he felt that he was underrated and that he should be an All-Star.

Chandler is really efficient and could well become a double-double player as long as he is allowed to play more than 30 minutes, but Skeyles always lets him play for about 25 minutes before resting.

Although Oden was a starter, he played less than 20 minutes per game, scoring 7.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks. He didn't ask for the ball, he worked hard.

Many fans complained that Oden had been given too few opportunities to perform. That might not make him a star.

Skels has a headache, he mainly plays offensive basketball, he is not good at arranging defense, and he doesn't know how to use this kind of center. Personally, he's better at using an interior player who can shoot. After covering, wait for an opportunity to shoot on the perimeter.

So, David Lee still has a lot of opportunities to perform every game, and so does Lewis. These two interior players who can open up space are the key to Skyles' tactical system.

The Third War. The Bulls defeated the Bucks 85-78 on the road.

After three consecutive wins, bad luck happened. Chandler came off the bench and played just four minutes before going off injured his right ankle. He was bumped by Gazuric while grabbing a frontcourt rebound and was injured on the ground.

Chandler twisted this time. They will be out for 3 to 4 weeks after the post-match check-up.

Trying to get back into the starting line-up and being injured, Chandler was depressed. He was worried that by the time he got better, Oden had already secured his starting position, after all, the newcomer was physically stronger than him.

After a six-game winning streak, the Bulls lost 97-101 at home against the Raptors.

Calderon was blown up by TJ Ford without any suspense. Wang Jun's main defense Ford is not to prevent shooting, which is slightly restricted, but the Raptors have a lot of pitchers and can still ensure offense.

The turning point of the game came in the third quarter, when Lewis was aggressive defensively and was unfortunately injured during an attempt to block Bosh, leaving the court immediately and returning to the locker room.

After examination, Lewis suffered a torn ligament in his right hand and will be sidelined for at least two months, which is undoubtedly worse for the Bulls, who are already without Chandler.

The Bulls officially stated that Lewis's injury situation is not optimistic and he must undergo an operation, so he has to be sidelined for a long time.

Fortunately, Lewis is a left-hander, and an injury to his right hand will not affect his shooting touch, otherwise he has just renewed his contract and is likely to become a bad contract.

After losing Lewis, the Bulls' tactical fit was forced to change, and David Lee entered the starting lineup.

David Lee and Calderon had two defensive weaknesses, and Oden was also inexperienced, with the Bulls losing first to the Spurs and then to the Suns, suffering a three-game losing streak.

Skels couldn't help but criticize the defence of several players after the game, and it was terrible to be always easily passed.

Oden still plays about 20 minutes per game and needs to be trained, he is good at the defensive end and good at the low post. When encountering an inside line that can pull out the mid-range shot, it will be deflated, and the defense and dismantling are easy to be passed by the guard.

Veteran PJ Brown couldn't keep up with the rhythm anymore and could only play for a while.

Howard's mid-range shooting ability has deteriorated, and he has defended a black hole, and Skyles is reluctant to let him play.

Amondsen defends hard enough and plays on the offensive end with less men.

Wang Jun also realized that if he injured two people, he would not be able to win as easily as last year. Lewis and Chandler's ability to switch picks and rolls is key, and when these two positions become David Lee, who is weak in offense and defense, and Oden, an inexperienced rookie, everything is different.

Stars can provide consistent scoring firepower on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, no matter how strong a player is, it is impossible to solve the problem alone, and must rely on the whole.

After losing to the Suns at home, the Bulls flew to Los Angeles for an away trip.

This time, Abby didn't follow.

Some people within ESPN feel that it is unfair for Abby to steal the opportunity to show his face, and in several big city teams, ESPN arranges reporters to accompany the team, and if Abby also interviews in Los Angeles, it is robbing a colleague's job.

Therefore, Abby can stay in Chicago for the holidays, even if she goes to Los Angeles with her, and is not responsible for the interview. She can watch the game at the hotel or support Wang Jun from the audience.

After the showdown with Theron in the summer, Abby didn't want to go to Los Angeles to meet Theron and simply stayed at home.

The Bulls played the Clippers away first, an easy game.

"Captain" Brand suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon due to an injury in training and is likely to be out for the season. Point guard Livingston has been injured and has not yet returned.

Cassel is old, and the Clippers don't even have a decent starting point guard. Substitute guard Dandy Kaw, unorganized, break-through dribbling, poor defense.

The Clippers roster is seriously unorganized, and Tim Thomas, the Bulls' abandoned player that year, can start, and this one can definitely be won.

Theron was too busy filming, and it was still a night scene, saying that he wouldn't see each other during the day.

Wang Jun had a holiday the next day after arriving in Los Angeles, and wanted to relax, so he went out alone early in the morning.
