Summary of my month of March

Hello, what's up?

Everything is alright for me. The season is coming to an end and things are going faster and faster. I had up and down during the whole season and the month of March was in the same spirit but I finished in a positive mark.

I found back minutes of play during these last games after not playing a lot in the month.
The illness and injuries of some players gave me the opportunity to play. The Detroit game was a very important game for the 2nd place seeking in the Eastern Conference. We knew on the same day that Ben Wallace would not be able to play because of his flu. The head coach told me that I would be in the starting line-up. We won this game and it was very positive because I played a lot (40min) and I played pretty well (first double-double of my career! ).

Two days later, we played against New Jersey and again, the head coach put me in the starting line-up. We made a big game and I have again fully participated to the victory of the Bulls. Yesterday, unfortunately, we lost in Toronto but, good news, Andres Nocioni made his come back after 3 months of absence. Beside that, it's from now on sure that we clinched the playoff berth. However, the next games are still going to be very important for us because we're setting our sights on being in 2nd or 1st place in the Conference if possible.

This year in NBA was very rewarding, I learned a lot and I had to adapt myself to a new game-style and it requires a lot of work and sacrifices. Besides, we were playing every 2 & 3 days and travelling all over the United States. I never knew this and it was very demanding.

I had to adapt myself to a new lifestyle too. I recognize that having my girlfriend next to me helped me a lot. I have fund memories of this season. I realise every day the chance I have, even if I still have everything to prove, I'm feeling good for the future!

The next time I'll write you, I'll be in the playoffs. I hope that the head coach will continue to have confidence on me like these last games and that weâ??ll go as far as possible.

See you soon and thank you for your support!
