Rose Or Not, Bulls In The Spotlight http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/07/27/rose-or-not-bulls-in-the-spotlight/ HANG TIME NEW JERSEY – The Chicago Bulls are going to be a very interesting team to watch next season. They’ve had the league’s best record each of the last two seasons, but will be missing Derrick Rose for most of this season. (K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune recently wrote that the 2010-11 MVP is “ out until likely March.”) The good news is that Luol Deng may not need surgery on his wrist and that the Bulls went 18-9 last season without Rose. So Joakim Noah has every right to believe in his team, as he made clear to ESPN Radio on Thursday. “Right now, people are sleeping on us, and we’re all right with that. We know at the end of the day, come playoff time, we’ll be ready to go.” … “We’ve gone through a little bit of adversity, but I think we’re a team full of fighters. That’s what I love about Chicago, about the Bulls.” But the 2012-13 Bulls aren’t the same as the 2011-12 Bulls that withstood Rose’s absence so well. Our Fran Blinebury already detailed how the supporting cast will be different (and cheaper). This is a team, with or without Rose, that has won with defense over the last two years. Ronnie Brewer and Omer Asik were two of its best defenders, with the Bulls allowing just 88 points per 100 possessions (which is ridiculously good) in 1,118 minutes with the pair on the floor over the last two seasons. For one reason or another, Marco Belinelli and Nazr Mohammed don’t quite measure up to that Brewer-Asik combo. Still, Noah is confident. And the NBA’s schedule-makers and TV executives seem to believe in the Bulls too, putting them on national TV 26 times next season, including a Christmas game against the new-look Rockets. We know Rose won’t be back by then, but appropriately, most of Chicago’s national TV games come in February, March and April. And as Bulls.com’s Sam Smith writes, the Rose watch will be in full force by then… How about Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on January 21st at home against the Lakers? Nah, too early. What about the Heat’s first trip into the United Center right after the All-Star break February 21? Probably still too soon. OK, what about Derrick Rose playing his first game of the 2012-13 season at home Saturday, March 2 against the Brooklyn Nets and C.J. Watson, who now thinks Deron Williams is the league’s best point guard? That’s going to be the question every week for the Bulls once the midway point of the 2012-13 season passes. When will Derrick Rose return from ACL knee surgery, and how often? 翻譯(轉錄自虎撲) http://bbs.hupu.com/4067627.html 不管有沒有羅斯，公牛都將備受關注下賽季的芝加哥公牛隊將會非常有趣。在過去的兩個賽季中，他們都保持了聯盟的最好戰績，但是下個賽季的大部分時間裡，他們將在沒有羅斯的情況下戰鬥。（《芝加哥論壇報》的K.C.Johnson最近撰文寫道，這位2010-2011賽季的常規賽MVP在明年的三月前都不太可能回歸賽場。）對他們來說，好消息是洛爾‧鄧或許不需要進行腕關節手術了，而且上賽季公牛隊在沒有羅斯的情況下依然取得了18勝9負的好成績。因此，諾阿有理由相信他的球隊，就像他週四的時候對ESPN說的那樣。 “我知道現在會有很對人輕視我們，但是無所謂，我們相信最後我們還是可以打進季後賽的，我們已經準備好了！” ‧‧‧ “我們經歷了一段困難的時期，但是我相信球隊的每個人都是堅強的鬥士，這就是我之所以愛這座城市以及這支球隊的原因。” 但是下賽季的公牛隊和上賽季沒有羅斯的那支球隊將會很不一樣，Fran Blinebury甚至都已經開始詳細分析下賽季的一些變化了。這是一支團隊，不管有沒有羅斯，過去的兩個賽季他們都是靠防守贏球的，羅尼‧布魯爾和歐米爾‧阿西克是球隊最好的防守者之一，他們在場時公牛每100回合只讓對手得到88 分（這簡直太棒了），過去兩個賽季他們在一起上場過118分鐘。正因為如此，你再轉眼看看馬科‧貝裡內利和納茲爾‧默罕穆德的組合，他們跟布魯爾和阿西克一比，你就知道他們有多坑爹了。儘管如此，諾阿仍然充滿自信。不光是他，NBA賽程制定者以及電視轉播商都很看好公牛，他們為公牛隊在下賽季安排了26場全國直播，其中包括了與全新的休斯頓火箭隊的聖誕大戰。我們都知道羅斯不會立刻回歸，但是恰巧的是，公牛隊的全國直播基本都被安排在了2、3 、4三個月份。據公牛官網的Sam Smith所說，屆時羅斯可能將會滿血回歸。 1月21號馬丁路德金日主場對陣湖人隊的比賽怎麼樣？額，可能有點早。 2月21號全明星賽後邁阿密熱火首次造訪聯合中心的比賽如何？可能還有點早。好吧，把羅斯的複出之戰安排在3月2號週六主場對陣布魯克林籃網怎麼樣？屆時羅斯將會面對他的昔日替補C.J沃特森，而這傢伙現在已經說德隆才是聯盟第一控衛了。這將會是公牛隊下賽季每個星期都要考慮的問題。到底什麼時候羅斯才能在膝蓋韌帶撕裂手術中徹底康復？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.169.242.48
