At halftime, the Bulls took a temporary lead at 55-45. During the break, Sun Xiaotian not only got the first halftime interview of his NBA career, but was also praised by Coach Thibodeau in the locker room.

It's no wonder, as a rookie, that after halftime, he was able to get nine points, four assists and four rebounds, and only one turnover. It's amazingly efficient.

In the words of the on-site commentary, "Sun Xiaotian was able to play like a veteran player in the first game, which fully proves that NBA managers have looked away in the draft." His maturity and composure will allow him to establish himself in the NBA as soon as possible, especially when he's on a very good team. ”

It seemed a little difficult for the Kings to turn around in the second half. Although they trailed the Bulls by only 10 points at halftime, the mental state of the Kings players on the court seemed to show that these stubborn players had not woken up from the summer offseason.

The third quarter is often a node in a game, especially in this game with a large disparity in strength. In the third quarter, the Bulls relied on the suffocating defense like an iron bucket, so that the Kings suddenly couldn't find a way to attack. And he didn't seem to be able to limit the bulls on the defensive end, and with the tacit cooperation inside and outside the Bulls, by the end of the third quarter, the Bulls had led by 20 points.

In the fourth quarter, Thibodu simply sent a full bench lineup at the beginning. Sun Xiaotian, as a rookie, became the core of the court in the fourth quarter.

Thibodeau told him to have a big picture on the pitch, and he hoped that Sun Xiaotian would be able to show some abilities that he didn't know about.

What makes Thibodeau feel relieved is that Sun Xiaotian completely regards himself as the "son of the sun" when he was at Yale University. Whether it is scoring, assisting, or defending, Sun Xiaotian is proficient in everything.

In the end, the score between the two teams was fixed at 107-86, and the Bulls got off to a good start with a big victory.

In this game, Sun Xiaotian, as a newcomer, shined. Not only did he allow Evans and Thornton to score just 19 points combined, but he also showed aggression in the game, scoring 18 points, six assists and five rebounds, two blocks and two steals.

When interviewed by reporters after the game, Sun Xiaotian was still a little modest. He attributed the victory to the unity of the team, and he was also glad that he was in such a wonderful team, with such good teammates and such a good coach.

Sun Xiaotian's first battle was a success. After the first game, Chicago fans showed great enthusiasm online.

Some people said, "When the team traded Korver for a 13th overall pick, he hated the Bulls manager." However, now that he saw that Sun Xiaotian was extremely talented, he forgave them. ”

Even some fans have linked Sun Xiaotian with Kobe Bryant that year, both rookies on the 13th, which of them performed better in the first game?

……

In short, Sun Xiaotian's first game was a success. Compared with Yao Ming's 0 points and 2 rebounds in the first game, Yi Jianlian's 9 points and 3 rebounds, Sun Xiaotian's data is even more incredible. After so many years, China finally has such a different guard, how happy will this be for the Basketball Association?

After the first game, the Bulls didn't have to rest for long, and they packed their bags the next day to start the team's first two-game road trip of the new season, against the Charlotte Bobcats and the Detroit Pistons.

As an underdog in the East, taking the win on the Bobcats and Pistons and welcoming the opening three straight wins is a big death order from Coach Thibodeau.

Thibodeau believes that in a season with 82 regular season games, it is not a good idea to win the games that should be won and give up the hard bones to protect the players' health and achieve the team's goals.

Although this is not in line with sportsmanship, in such a commercial league, Thibodeau's plan is not wrong. As long as you can win the championship, you can use any kind of move.

Against the Charlotte Bobcats, the Bulls didn't face stubborn resistance from their opponents. Faced with such a weak opponent, there is no reason why the Bulls should not win. Besides, it feels really wonderful to be able to win against Old Man Joe's team.

In this game, the biggest contributor to the Bulls' victory was Fei Jorkin. Noah can't. 21 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks, whether it is Biyombo of the Bobcats, or Diop, Haywood and the like, they were all blown out by Noah.

Sun Xiaotian also had occasional bright spots in this game, although he only scored 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting in this game. Henderson scored 20 points. However, the five steals in the game also limited the Bobcats' offense to some extent.

Another rookie to watch in this game was Michael Kidd Gilkester of the Bobcats, who scored 15 points in the game, but scored 15 shots.

……

When the Bulls arrived at Auburn Hills, the Pistons caused them a lot of trouble, especially the two interior linemen on the Pistons, Greg. Monroe and rookie Drummond.

The two interior monsters combined to score 42 points and 19 rebounds, especially as a rookie, Drummond, who contributed a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds alone. However, the Pistons' outside players didn't give their best, and Starkey and Wil-By-num ......, and they all fell into a slump.

However, the Bulls blossomed as a team, although the interior combination of Noah and Boozer was blown up by the opponent. But the Bulls played well from the outside, with Luer Deng scoring 25 points on his own, while Belineri, who came off the bench, made four three-pointers.

And Sun Xiaotian, who has started two games, continues to have a stable performance. He seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of being a starter, and he finished with 14 points and seven rebounds on 5-of-11 shooting.

In the end, the Bulls managed to take down the Pistons. While winning 3 consecutive victories in the opening competition, he also successfully tapped young talents like Sun Xiaotian.

As the No. 13 pick, Sun Xiaotian not only started the game, but in the three games he started, he averaged 13.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

Not only that, in these three games, Sun Xiaotian's shooting rate reached 50.2%, and the three-point shooting rate also reached 34%.

For such a set of data, who would think that he is just a rookie. What's even more unexpected is that Sun Xiaotian is surprisingly calm and mature in the game, and his skills are also very comprehensive.

And Thibodeau's words made many people have more expectations for Sun Xiaotian.

"There's so much more he can do......
