"He's the best player on our team, in my opinion he's going to be a great player like Michael, he's been a fantastic first game, I'm sure no one of all the rookies this year can beat him, he's the strongest, he's going to find that dominant feeling in the NBA very quickly, this year our goal is to get back into the playoffs, we have that ability, we have a lot of these great players, especially our young players have been great, I'm sure we'll rise soon and give hope to all Chicago fans."

When Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics left Washington for their first win of the season and returned to Boston, on October 31, none of the newspapers or media in the United States put their game against the Wizards at the top of the list, and the Timberwolves-Lakers and Kings-Spurs games on the same day were not prominently displayed.

And on this day, basically all the media and TV are focusing on a player, this year's No. 1 pick, Bulls point guard Jay Williams, the NCAA No. 1 guard played an incredible statistic in his first game in the NBA, and in the game between the Bulls and the Nets on October 30, the point guard hit a big triple-double when he encountered Kidd, one of the league's strongest point guards, known as a triple-double machine, and the guard was 10-of-22 in this game, cut down 26 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, and Kidd, who also played a triple-double in this game, also scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, but both individual performance and team performance lost to the Bulls. The game was also a 93-100 defeat for the ambitious Nets on the road.

A rookie player scored a triple-double in his first NBA game, which is unique in NBA history, and with the fact that this guy is still the main core of the Bulls now and the former NCAA's No. 1 star and this year's No. 1 pick, it can be said that under such an identity and such a performance, the young point guard became the focus of all the media attention in the United States at the first time.

Even after the game, some Chicago fans were clamoring to find their new Jordan, while some Rockets fans were starting to get dissatisfied with the team's move to send the No. 1 pick away this summer.

This happens every year in the NBA, and for a lot of people, there are times when they focus more on rookies than on some of the biggest stars. Especially for a rookie like Williams who plays god-level data, for them this is a process, a star-making process. For these people, it is extremely interesting for young stars to be created in their pen or mouth, so in this case, every year there will be a few rookies who are not inferior to first-line stars in terms of exposure, such as Yao Ming last year. Gasol and Kwame Brown.

Obviously, this year, the Bulls' point guard has gone ahead of all the rookies this year, taking the lead in playing his own value, and it is foreseeable that if the point guard can play extremely well in the future, he will soon use his new core and champion status as the Bulls' new core and champion to become a first-line star.

"Tsk, I won such a big triple-double in the first game, Magic, Big O and Jordan Carter didn't do it at the beginning, no wonder these people are so crazy"

In the chairman's office of Zhuang Fei in Boston, the team's assistant coach Stephen Green held a newspaper and said to Zhuang Fei with a smile, in his opinion, that this is indeed a miracle. He is no stranger to Williams, the point guard from the ACC, although he has been away from the ACC for many years, but Green still pays close attention to the ACC game, it can be said that he has enough understanding of the strength of this Williams, this is already a point guard with the strength of the league. It's fair to say that he is indeed a promising guy, but to say that he wants to get a big triple-double against Kidd in the first game is like a fairy tale story no matter how you look at it.

"It's a really good player, he's a lot like Billups from the Grizzlies in terms of style, he's great at shooting and pacing, and average in terms of breaking, but his passing is a lot more fancy than Billups. But it's not as stable as Billups, but he both have a big heart" Zhuang Fei recalled a video highlight of the Bulls and Nets game that Green gave him just now, and said with a smile, for the hottest young player in the league now, Zhuang Fei watched the video and summed up some of the characteristics of this young guard, it can be said that he is indeed a star embryo, if he grows up normally, he will become the league's first-line or even the top point guard, this point guard's potential evaluation in the dynasty system is A-, The current ability is 84, which can be said to be the best of all rookies this year.

"yes, this kid is very good at key ball ability" Stephen Green also smiled, the young rookie actually looked more daring to shoot than the other nine people on the court at the last moment of the last game, which is basically an impossible quality for many rookie players, after all, not everyone wants to be a rookie like Jordan or Carter who is close to invincible as soon as he enters the league, and most rookies will be very restrained in performance.

"It looks like the next game will be a big test for us, and the Bulls are also in high spirits at the moment."

For a young team like the Bulls, the gap between the strengths can easily fade, and the young guys play more concerned about morale and passion, and when this group of people is full of these things, they can create the biggest difficulties for anyone, and the last game they played against the Nets was like that, and it was clear that the top pick was ready to be directly abandoned by the Rockets in his first game, and the final performance was successful. The Celtics in this situation are now like live targets to be sent up, and who knows what kind of game these morale-boosting Bulls young players will play, and the Celtics suffered big losses in front of the Bulls led by Chandler and Corey last season.

"But I think the coach will definitely let that magical point guard fade away all the magic in the next game" Looking at Zhuang Fei's frowning face, the team's assistant coach Stephen Green, who was standing in front of Zhuang Fei, was very relaxed, and said to Zhuang Fei with some jokingness, and Zhuang Fei also smiled helplessly after hearing Green's words at this time

November 1, 2002, North Shore Garden Arena, Boston

Today's meeting here is the NBA regular season Boston Celtics home game against the Chicago Bulls, before this game Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics both won the game, it can be said that both teams are now in good shape, plus Jay Williams's super-god play before this game, it can be said that this game is particularly interesting, this game was originally not broadcast live in the United States, but in the end it was temporarily arranged by TNT as a national live broadcast of the game.

Of course, for this game, the reason why it was scheduled to be broadcast nationally by TNT is of course more because there are many people in the United States who want to see the performance of the Bulls' rookie champion in his second game.

"Hahaha, beautiful shot, this is a rare shooting opportunity for Jay in this game, James Posey is very good at his defense, Coach Z obviously has studied Williams before this game, Coach Z's strategy of close defense and defense shooting is very successful, but there are already a large number of people waiting for this popular rookie under the basket of the Boston Celtics"

In the media commentary box at Boston's North Shore Gardens, the big-butted Barkley watched the players on the court and shouted, while Kenny Smith on the side quipped.

"Before the game, you said that Coach Z couldn't control this point guard in this game, and now it seems that you are ready to change your opinion?"

"No, although Coach Z blocked his offense, he didn't block his pass, and now the game is not over and he has ten assists, beautiful, good ball, it seems that there needs to be another offense" Barkley smiled and said without forgetting to squeeze his eyes at his partner.

In the commentary booth in the stands, the two commentators are now all focused on the rookie, and at this time, Zhuang Fei looked at the former Duke point guard on the court on the sidelines and couldn't stop nodding.

This kid really has a good sense of the big picture, there is not much gap in this regard compared to Billups, and the grasp of the timing of passing and passing routes on the pitch is also extremely clear, which is absolutely magical for a young man who is only 22 years old in this regard, but sometimes it is still too fancy and really not top enough in terms of physical fitness, which can be easily blocked by a player like James Posey. When he saw this, Zhuang Fei also had a general grasp of this point guard, and the outcome of this game was no longer suspenseful by the middle of the fourth quarter.

In today's high-profile game, the Boston Celtics defeated the Bulls 100-87 at home, in which the Bulls' Williams only scored 10 points, but still handed out 13 assists and 8 rebounds, and almost scored another triple-double on the head of the Celtics. For the Celtics, it was six players in double figures, with Maddy scoring a small triple-double of 16 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists to be the best player of the game.

"It looks like Jay still has a long way to go before he wants to lead the Bulls on a revival, but Coach Z's team is looking even more scary than it was last season," Kenny Smith, who was in the stands, also sighed after the game. (To be continued)
