Chapter 194: Incredible Rookie

It's a perfect script, an incredible script. A 13th pick rookie led a once-glorious team to the Eastern Conference Finals, knocking out the defending champions and beating their opponents in a tiebreaker with 0 seconds.

The moment the ball was scored, all the players of the Bulls ran to Sun Xiaotian, and everyone couldn't suppress their excitement and shouted "Chicago!" Chicago! ”

They have experienced too much skepticism over the years, and not many people would think that they could become the king of the east. However, at this moment, they responded forcefully, telling those who questioned them that the glory of the Bulls can still continue, and they can always be strong, and the strong will not be easily defeated.

Being killed made the Heat players extremely low, and they would have had a chance to win the Eastern Finals, if it weren't for Sun Xiaotian's epic block, it might have ......

Although no one wanted to end the season in this way, after the game, James and Wade seemed very generous and took the initiative to congratulate Sun Xiaotian, and James put his arm around Sun Xiaotian and told him how good and incredible it was.

……

In the locker room, it has become a sea of champagne, Sun Xiaotian, who has always been introverted, swayed to his heart's content and released himself to his heart's content, although he has not yet won the championship, but he feels that it is worth celebrating and releasing himself.

Under Noah's leadership, everyone gathered together again and shouted out again the cry after the battle of Tianwang Mountain, "Savior! Savior! ”

……

Looking back on Sun Xiaotian's performance this season, he successfully performed for us from obscurity to blockbuster, to being questioned about bottlenecks, and then to the incredible team that led the team to defeat the defending champion alone and advance to the finals. This is Sun Xiaotian's incredible season, and it is an elusive season.

In the regular season of the season, Sun Xiaotian overcame the impact of the "rookie wall" and continued to work hard in the later years, averaging 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.

In the first round of the playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks, Sun Xiaotian led the Bulls to end five games cleanly and crisply, averaging 21.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.

In the semifinals against the New York Knicks, in the face of Anthony, Sun Xiaotian was calm, and sent New York home to fish in 6 games, and the grudge with Spike Lee became the focus of media rendering, which is destined to make Sun Xiaotian a Reggie Miller-like figure in New York. In the semifinals, he averaged 22.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, and the team was repeatedly in danger at critical moments.

If Sun Xiaotian's performance in the first two rounds can be said to be what a qualified star has to do, then in the Eastern Conference Finals, the 7 games of the fierce battle with the Heat have become a series of Sun Xiaotian's gods. He averaged 30.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in seven games, shooting more than 5 percent from the field.

"His performance in the Eastern Conference finals was very similar to James's play against the Pistons in the '07 East, almost single-handedly picking up a championship team, although he was not the best star on the planet, but he beat the strongest in his own way." This is what the Los Angeles Times said about Sun Xiaotian after the game.

The Chicago media came more directly, more sensationally, "Everybody came to my shoulders, the whole city, the whole team, the whole team, came to my shoulders." Whether you win or lose, I will take responsibility, but no matter what, I will lead you forward. In his evaluation of Sun Xiaotian's performance, "He led the Chicagoans to the finals again after n years, and regardless of whether he won the championship in the end, he is destined to be remembered by Chicagoans like Jordan."

Spurs head coach Popovich, the opponent of the Bulls Finals, also praised Sun Xiaotian's performance, "He is the player we need to pay attention to, we don't know him very well, is he Chinese?" No matter what, my strategy will not change, but the strategy we set was originally aimed at James, and it seems that it also applies now, and there is nothing to change. ”――

With the exception of the same city derby, the final of any sports competition is never just a contest between two teams, but also a contest between fans of two cities and two countries. And this time, the post-Jordan Bulls advanced to the Finals under the leadership of rookie players, which looked funny and incredible. The citizens of Chicago have been dreaming of this day since Jordan retired for the second time.

Some people say: "People with a history of honor are proud" Over the years, no matter how the Bulls have sunk, Chicago fans have always believed that the team is trying to change, knowing the arrival of Rose No. 1, they feel that the history of Chicagoans is coming again, but injuries have become the biggest obstacle. Originally, when the Bulls brought Sun Xiaotian to Chicago, many people were full of doubts about the yellow-skinned Asian.

Unintentionally planted willows and willows. Unexpectedly, this gamble turned out to be a success in Chicago. To this day, Phoenix Suns fans are still angry about the decision of its management, originally Sun Xiaotian could create brilliance in the Suns, but it is a pity that they lost someone who was better than Kobe Bryant in his rookie season, just like the Hornets.

A single draft pick changed all that, and Chicagoans were already frantically cheering and waiting to give their home team the best possible support.

Walking on the streets of Chicago, large and large-scale portraits of Sun Xiaotian are all over the street.

The price of tickets in the United Center arena is 30% higher than usual, and the tickets for the third game of the finals have been sold out early, and the scalpers have made a windfall at this time.

……

Sun Xiaotian is happy, and Chicagoans are also happy at the moment.

But for the next Finals opponent, the Spurs, it is also happy to some extent.

Compared with James, the Spurs would prefer to meet Sun Xiaotian, a fledgling rookie. In 07, James's influence was far more violent than Sun Xiaotian's, and the final result of the finals was clear to everyone. A group of old goblins go to deal with a little kid, and it is estimated that Bobo will wake up laughing.

No matter what the opponent would think, Sun Xiaotian still maintained his usual calm after being excited.

Indeed, the championship is just around the corner! As long as they work hard, survive the next Finals, and beat their opponents hard, they can get that championship ring.

To be honest, everyone is a little tired from the playoffs so far, but now, when they think about competing for the championship, everyone's hearts are gradually rising with enthusiasm. That's the charm of the championship, and they all have that desire in their hearts.

"Let's go to the finals!! Let's go and our opponents! That's a quote from Noaa's Twitter. (To be continued.) )
