Chapter 282: A Nice Start to the Season!

After leading the team to defeat the strong rival Warriors, the media set off a wave of heated discussion about Sun Xiaotian's performance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Chicago Rock Post ---- "Crazy Chinese kid has given us a new experience of crazy scoring. He's stronger this season, it's the season when the King of Chicago is going to be crowned, and he'll continue to surprise us. ”

GoldenSports ---- "We were beaten by him alone, it's hard to imagine that he was only 22 years old, and he had enough results to amaze everyone. It's hard to predict if he keeps going that way and keeps improving, whether he's going to be Kobe Bryant or Jordan...... Even, it's not something that two people can encompass. ”

The praise of the media still did not arouse Sun Xiaotian's interest, he just felt that he was their job bowl, they needed to live, so he would find some material to report, he only needed to play his own game well, and he didn't want to distract himself too much.

"I'm not as good as they thought I would be, and I still need time to polish my skills, because after all, there are 82 fights and every game is important, so I need to get stronger and stronger."

After the victory over the Warriors, the Bulls had an easy run, first on the road against the Pelicans, and then on three consecutive home games against the Nuggets, Pistons, and Mavericks.

The first opponent, the Pelicans, after changing their name last season, was expected to get off to a good start, but the sky didn't work out, and they went 27-55 and finished second to last in the West. Injuries have become the lifeline that plagues the team, Davis has played 67 games, Gordon has played 64 games, Evans has played 72 games, Holiday has played 34 games, Anderson has played 22 games, this is almost the team's starting five, but you have injured me, and the team has also fallen into an injury cycle.

Anthony Davis, the team's top name, had his best season last season, with 20.8 points, 10 rebounds, 2.9 blocks, and 51 percent shooting from the field, and was named an All-Star. However, individual success does not lead to the improvement of the team, which is the greatest sorrow. So, for the new season, Anthony Davis wants to start from scratch and lead the team to do something.

Since the beginning of the season, relying on Davis's perverted level of play, the Pelicans have achieved a 4-1 record, and in five games, Anthony Davis has averaged 28 points, 17 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of an astonishing 64%. The most surprising thing about this period is that the team seems to have recovered from last season's injuries and everyone is feeling refreshed. The team's leading point Holiday handed out 12 assists in the first game, and Evans also averaged 17.6 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and he seemed to be back to his peak season - his rookie season, and Gordon, Asik, everyone contributed.

During the game, the Pelicans and Bulls fought until the last minute, and the Bulls relied on a layup and an offensive rebound from Gasol in the last minute, and the Bulls won a hard-fought 99-94 victory over the Pelicans. In this game, Anthony slashed 38 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks, almost fighting the Bulls on his own. The Bulls can be described as multi-point blossoming, with five players scoring in double figures. Sun Xiaotian had 26 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, Butler had 21 points, Gasol had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and Rose and Mirotic each had 11 points.

Back at home, the Bulls rested for two days in a row to play against back-to-back Nuggets. Since the melon tour to the east, the Nuggets have given the impression of a "pseudo-strong team", and they have been able to play wonderful games from time to time with their athletic talents, and they can win against strong teams but also lose to weak teams. The Bulls relied on the momentum of the home court and cleanly picked the Nuggets off the horse, 120-103! The Bulls had a 25-point lead in the game.

In this game, Sun Xiaotian contributed his first triple-double data of the season, with 32 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds, shining all over the court. Rose had his best game of the season, with 20 points and seven assists on 8-of-14 shooting, and an efficiency rating of 28, the highest on the team. In the game, Thibodeau made a short attempt, he let Sun Xiaotian hold the ball more, organize the offense, and to put it bluntly, let Sun Xiaotian serve as the point guard, and Rose existed as the second point of possession, and when Sun Xiaotian played, he organized the whole team, and the effect was very good. In this way, the question of who controls the ball between Ross and Sun Xiaotian will also be solved.

The Pistons still haven't caused too much trouble to the Bulls, and the Pistons, who have been in a rebuild, have only 1-6 at the beginning of the season.

Among these opponents, the real powerhouse is of course the Mavericks. Although this Mavericks is not the Mavericks in the championship season, the presence of Carlisle and Nowitzki makes no one dare to underestimate them.

This season, the biggest signing for the Mavericks has been none other than Parsons, from the Rockets to the Mavericks, and in Cuban's words, "Chandler is our cornerstone player!" ”

In the game, the Bulls and the Mavericks were not separated in regular time, and in overtime, Nowitzki burst out of his killer nature, hitting difficult three-pointers one after another, and finally the Mavericks defeated the Bulls 111-109, allowing the Bulls to swallow their first defeat of the season. In this game, Nowitzki was still unstoppable, with 26 points and 8 rebounds, especially in overtime, he scored 8 points in a row. Parsons lived up to Cuban's trust and also scored 21 points, while substitute Barria scored 18. On the Bulls' side, Sun Xiaotian was still unstoppable, scoring 31 points, and Gasol did not fall behind in the confrontation with Nowitzki, with 20 points and 11 rebounds, but a fatal mistake in the last seconds of regular time allowed the Mavericks to seize the opportunity to equalize the score.

Regardless, the 8-1 start was the team's best start in recent seasons.

In 9 games, Sun Xiaotian averaged 28.7 points, 10.1 assists and 8 rebounds per game with quasi-triple-double data, not only the team ranked first in the power list, but also ranked first in the latest MVP list.

After these games, after a break of two or three days, the Bulls will face a terrifying schedule, four games in five days, and all four games are strong teams, namely the Spurs, Pacers, Thunder and Rockets. Maybe if you are not careful, you may end up losing 5 in a row, of course, Sun Xiaotian is not allowed to happen to such a thing, but he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens. After all, these four teams are currently in the top six in the East and West.

So, the Devil's schedule doesn't allow the Bulls to slack off. (To be continued.) )
