The Bulls face the Saramento Kings in their regular season opener, so there's no problem for the Bulls to get off to a good start. Although Derek. Rose can't play because of injury, but the Kings aren't the glamorous Kings they used to be. And the Bulls are playing at home, so a win over the Kings for their first win of the season won't be a problem.

Rose's absence will certainly affect the strength of the Bulls, but the timely return of Ruhrdon and Hinrich has ensured the strength of the Bulls' roster.

The Kings fired head coach Westphal at the start of the season, straightened Smart, and drafted Thomas Brown. Robinson. Coupled with the fact that there are several young talents on the team, the Kings have good signs of returning to their former glory.

Sun Xiaotian has actually been anxious, or nervous, for the past few days. The opening game of the regular season is approaching day by day, but Sun Xiaotian has no idea in his heart, and he himself can't figure out why?

In fact, Sun Xiaotian himself thinks too much, and what has been bothering him for so much time is the question of whether he can start. Thibodeau has revealed on many occasions that Sun Xiaotian will be the team's No. 2 starter, but Sun Xiaotian feels that this is very inappropriate, because he is not mentally prepared.

After all, there are several teammates in the team who are more senior than him, and he is more suitable to start from the bench.

Sun Xiaotian's thinking is, in the final analysis, a kind of lack of self-confidence, he is afraid that he will not play well and that he will affect the unity of the team. But if Sun Xiaotian was a black player, he would definitely not think so, he would take this as a compliment to him, and he would not avoid him.

As an experienced elder, Thibodeau seemed to see Sun Xiaotian's worries. He also deliberately invited Sun Xiaotian to his home as a guest, and seriously relieved his psychological pressure. He also knew that doing so would also be a test for Sun Xiaotian.

Since Thibodeau has decided so, there must be a reason for the comparison. The only thing Sun Xiaotian has to do is to bite the bullet, and he hopes that his first performance will not be too ugly.

November 1, 2012, United Center Arena.

The Bulls' home stadium hosted an unprecedented show and a new season began. The stadium was packed, and the fans here have always been so fascinated and so loyal. Although it is not yet known if their MVP will be able to return this season, their love for the Bulls has not diminished at all.

And the members of the Bulls, in order to match the atmosphere of the scene, they also held an annual "welcome rookie" spoof event. The target of this year's spoofing is not someone, it is Sun Xiaotian and Marcus Steg.

The Bulls don't have a very strong taste for spoofing rookies, but when they were on the court, Noah and Boozer told Sun Xiaotian and Teague that they should go ahead as newcomers and accept the cheers of the fans.

Sun Xiaotian and Teague were honestly very happy with their proposal, and they did the same. When they ran out and waved to the fans, they attracted a burst of laughter.

At first, Sun Xiaotian wondered, could it be that he was dressed inappropriately? Leek leaves between your teeth?

No, it won't!

When they turned around, they didn't think they laughed, and no one followed, and now there were just two of them on the court.

After a while, the rest of the Bulls team members ran out happily, and one by one they were happy.

"Yay!! Like that? Welcome to the NBA, rookies. ”

Nate jumped up and bumped shoulders with Sun Xiaotian, opened his mouth wide and kept talking.

……

After the live event, the commentary began to broadcast the starting players of the two teams.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the starting lineup for the Bulls' first regular season game of the 2012-2013 season. They are: "

"The starting point guard is Corey who is back in Chicago again. ...... Synrich"

Again, it's because Hinrich was drafted with the seventh overall pick by the Bulls in 2003, but he played for the Atlanta Hawks last season, and this season he returned to his old club to understand the Bulls' point guard crisis.

"Starting Shooting Guard, Sun Xiaotian from Shanghai, China......"

That's right! Sun Xiaotian was still ranked in the starting line-up by Thibodeau, and Thibodeau's decision also surprised the fans at the scene, with bursts of exclamations and then enthusiastic cheers.

"Starting small forward Ruhr Deng ......"

Before Ross was there, Ruhr. Deng is a very competent second-in-command on the team, and some pundits have compared his and Rose's combination to the team's all-time Jordan and Pippen.

"Starting power forward Carlos. Boozer ......"

"Starting center Joaquin. Noah ......"

Compared to the Bulls, the appearance of the Saramento Kings players is much more prosaic, after all, this is not their territory.

The Kings' starters were: point guard Isaiah. Thomas, shooting guard Tyrick. Evans, small forward John A. Salmons, power forward Jason. Thompson, center Marcus. Cousins.

Literally, the strength of the Kings' starting lineup is also luxurious. There are excellent big man insiders, especially Cousins, who has excellent low-post skills. There is also the former rookie king Evans, who was able to play 20+5+5 data in his rookie season, which is comparable to the little emperor James in his rookie season.

However, such a lineup could not play better, and was even dubbed a brain-dead team by Barkley, which is really puzzling.

－－－－－－－

The players from both sides came on the field one after another, high-fived each other and greeted each other. With Noah and Cousins jumping halfway, the Bulls' regular season opener officially began.

The tough Noah won the first wave of possession for the Bulls.

At this time, looking at the audience and the Bulls' bench, everyone is standing to congratulate their team's first offense, and they don't sit down in the sports battle, which has become an unwritten rule.

Hinrich controlled the ball and pushed forward, and at this time, Sun Xiaotian and Ruhr Deng began to cross and run according to the instructions of Coach Thibodeau. Sun Xiaotian is in charge of the cover, and Lu Erdeng is in charge of the outside requirements.

When Ruhr Deng got to the ball, he didn't stick to the ball too much, and he handed the ball to Boozer, who was already in the position on the inside.

Boozer pouted his ass and pushed hard inside, making Thompson a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Boozer turned and stepped back to shoot, and the ball arced high. But unfortunately, the ball bounced off the front of the basket.

When Noah saw this, he jumped up with a lunge and took the rebound ball in his arms. Looking at what Cousins did just now, he didn't go to the top at all, waiting for the rebound to fall into his hands, which is why the Kings couldn't play well. The whole thing is a matter of attitude.

Noah hurriedly threw the ball out, and Sun Xiaotian just received the ball.

At this time, it was Evans who was defending him, Sun Xiaotian suddenly accelerated with the ball, and he gave him over in one step, which made Sun Xiaotian feel incredible.

After Evans, Sun Xiaotian did not choose to make a layup or shoot, but passed the ball to Lu Erdeng who was better positioned outside the three-point line on the right.

With a slight click, Salmons, who was defending him, flew up instantly, and Ruer Deng slashed towards the opponent's penalty area like an arrow.

"Bang"!

Ruhr Deng slammed a one-arm slam dunk.

The Bulls are out of the way!!
