NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 123: Internal strife in the opening game of the new season?
"I want you to teach me?" Jordan's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Tiandao: "I can run if I want to, and grab rebounds if I want to. You can't control me!"

"I can't care?" Lin Tian's head also came up, and he stopped dribbling the ball. He held the ball in one hand and spread his hands: "Then get out of here! I am the point guard, and I have the final say on the court. If you don't agree, , play point guard and leave the shooting and scoring to me!"

"Earning 3000 million a year, only attacking but not defending, only thinking about fast breaks, not returning to defense or grabbing rebounds, do you think you are... No, look at Ewing! He earns 300 million a year and still does his best and fulfills his responsibilities. Here!" As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Ewing became unhappy.

No, it has nothing to do with me that you two are fighting among yourself?Why are you pulling me?
I am willing to get 300 million a year, can you help me?

"That's Ewing stupid! He's an idiot! He deserves only 300 million! Did I let him get 300 million? Did I force him to sign the contract?" Jordan continued to fight back.

"Having said this, aren't you afraid of giving birth to a son without an asshole? Patrick didn't sign this contract just to play ball with you..."

Lin Tian's words suddenly stopped here.

Because the referees on the sidelines noticed something was wrong and were about to step forward to stop the conflict to prevent the conflict from expanding, but the referees all noticed something strange on the court, and the Knicks players naturally noticed it too, but they didn't want to care about it at all.

This is a direct quarrel between teammates on the court!This kind of scene is rare!Larry Johnson even wanted to stop the referee, not wanting the referee to affect this historic scene.

But at this moment, as Lin Tian's words came to an abrupt end, and everyone wanted to hear what he was going to say, Lin Tian suddenly threw the ball away, and in the opposite direction of his sight, toward Nick. The team's basket was thrown over!
"boom!"

After a loud noise, Wennington, who was forgotten by everyone, succeeded in a two-handed alley-oop dunk!
After landing, Wennington said excitedly: "It works! Lin, this trick works!"

Does this trick work?
No matter how stupid they are, the Knicks players also know that they have been fooled by Lin Tian and Jordan!
There is no conflict between these two people. This is a horse-trading tactic!

What kind of lunatic would use such tactics on the court?

Is your acting so real?The two of them were about to fight just now, okay?
Regarding the fact that they almost got into a fight, Lin Tian said that it was good, and it was indeed the case, because the words he just criticized Jordan were all true feelings, not meant to be acted at all, and were all the truth from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't use this tactic again!" Jordan said with a sullen face, as if he had done something embarrassing.

He refused Lin Tian's request to reach out and give a high-five to celebrate.

shame!
What a fucking shame!
Everyone calls me the God of Basketball, but I actually follow this little bastard to play such low-level tactics?
the last time!
Must be the last time!
Well, although it was really cool when I sprayed Ewing just now.

"You two, if you do this again next time, I will call you a technical foul!" The referee looked at Lin Tian and Jordan and also issued a warning.

Just kidding, my heart beat twice as fast just now!
Do you want to scare me to death?
In the opening game, two stars from the most popular team in the league, if you two fight here, do you still want my year-end bonus?In the first game of the new season, am I going to be deprived of my qualifications to be evaluated for the whole year?
vicious!This tactic is so vicious!They must not be allowed to use it again, it’s too scary!

After being warned by the referee and Jordan, Lin Tian had no choice but to spread his hands to express that he would not use this trick in the future, and then... Lin Tian decided to apologize.

"Patrick! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to expose your scars just now! I didn't mean any harm! Michael didn't either. You don't want 1800 million for 300 million to strengthen the team. It's not shameful or stupid at all! Really, Not stupid at all!"

"Believe me, you are very smart!"

"Can you shut up! FUXX! You damn piece of shit, can you shut up!" Ewing was completely noticed by Lin Tiantian. He opened his mouth with a string of swear words, and even more fierce positions, and once again Forced singles under the basket!

He wants to vent his strength and depression, and he wants to wash away his shame and dissatisfaction with a powerful blood buckle!
"Shh!"

Ewing turned around so fast that he couldn't believe it, and immediately left Wennington behind. Then Ewing used all his strength, jumped up high, and hit him hard!

"Boom!" After a loud noise, the entire basketball stand was shaken by Ewing, as if he was about to pull the basket completely down!

"Ho ho ho ho!" While pulling the basket, he roared excitedly, Ewing expressed his anger and joy to his heart's content!

Cool!Cool!

If that Chinese boy dares to be wordy again, I will...

Um?What about the Chinese boy?
Ewing suddenly discovered, why was there no one in the Bulls' half?

He quickly landed and turned around. When he wanted to return to defense, he was surprised to find that Lin Tian had already reached outside the Knicks' 3-point line. Change direction forward!
Lin Tian used his trick from the finals again, and instantly stunned Childs. He couldn't keep up with Lin Tian's speed, and he cut directly into the heart of the Knicks.

Although Oakley quickly stood in front of Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian was sprinting and observing, and then suddenly dribbled the ball from his hips. The basketball did not return to Lin Tian's hands, but came behind him. Pippen followed up.

"Boom!" After a loud noise, Pippen hit Oakley with a one-handed chop!

The Bulls responded to Ewing's strength with an equally bloody dunk!
"Why didn't you help defend the basket just now? Didn't you ask me to watch Childs for you?" Jordan muttered to Lin Tian while returning to defense.

"You are stupid. Even an idiot can see that Patrick is holding back his energy! What if I was helping to defend and was dunked just now? Besides, he will definitely hang on the basket to celebrate as an idiot. Let's take the opportunity to fight. Isn't it good to score 2 points on a fast break? Why help with defense? Inefficient and bad choice!"

"Well, Patrick, I'm not saying you're stupid. The way you hang on the basket is so cool! It's really, really cool! You can hang it as long as you want, I have no problem with it!"

Lin Tian 'cleverly' discovered that Ewing could actually hear what he and Jordan were saying, and he immediately sent a very caring and apologetic smile.

"Patrick Ewing had a mood swing and dropped 50 experience points!"

Explosive equipment!This gorilla finally lost his temper!
"Ball! I'm going to kill them!"

Ewing once again got stuck in the low post, demanding the ball with his skill.

Then, he once again easily pushed away Wennington's defense and turned to face the basket. This time Ewing learned the lesson!Although he was in a furious state, he still glanced in front and to the side. There was no figure of Lin Tian. This kid still didn't dare to help defend this time!
Give him another one!Give him pleasure one more time!
After making sure that no one could help defend him, Ewing pushed Wennington away again with his shoulder, then jumped up on the spot, put his hands behind his head, and pulled it up for another dunk!
"Snapped!"

There was another crisp sound, and a hand pressed on the basketball on Ewing's head!

This time, this sinful hand appeared from behind Ewing!
"Bring it to you!" Lin Tian's roar came loudly, and Ewing felt that he could no longer control the basketball and let go.

"Snapped!"

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced down.

Lin Tian, ​​who was behind Ewing, jumped up again with great strength, and took the basketball into his arms in the air through Ewing's head!
And this is not over yet, Lin Tianren has already passed the basketball while he is still in the air!
The powerful waist and abdominal strength and arm strength burst out at this moment. Even if the person had nowhere to borrow strength in the air, the basketball turned into orange lightning again and flew towards the front court.

This time it was Jordan who received the ball. Although Houston also defended well, in a one-on-one situation in the frontcourt, the person in this league who can guard Jordan is probably not even born yet!

Jordan faced Houston's defense and moved forward steadily, easily pushing him away, and then scored 2 more points with a one-handed left-hand chop!
In the next few minutes, the offense and game situation of both sides once again entered a balance. You came and I started a continuous tug-of-war around the gap of about 10 points. Until the end of the first half, both sides The score is still 66:73, and the Bulls temporarily lead by 7 points.

The Knicks can't catch up and the Bulls can't pull away. The suspense of the outcome of this game is still very high!
In the first half of the game, Lin Tian had already scored a double-double of 13 points and 10 assists, not to mention that he was very effective in assisting Ewing on several occasions. Not only did he block 3 shots, but he also allowed Ewing to win in the second quarter. Only scored 9 points in total!Compared with the 18 points in the first quarter, Ewing's performance has declined significantly.

The Knicks were able to hold on to the score because the two new players, Larry Johnson and Alan Houston, showed their due standards.

Shots, 3-pointers, and breakthroughs were made one after another, which helped the Knicks stabilize the situation of the game.

During the halftime break, Jackson stood in the middle of the locker room, clapped his hands relaxedly and said: "Everyone, the Knicks seem to be much tougher than we thought. Their offensive capabilities have improved significantly this season. With the improvement, their offensive firepower is more stable and abundant than last season!"

"Obviously, they felt that the loss to us last season was due to the offense, because Ewing was unable to support himself, and the loss to the second-leading scorer Starks was too stupid, so they are working hard to strengthen the offense this year, hoping to be able to Overwhelm us offensively!”

"What are you going to do in the face of this situation?"

"They strengthen their offense, then we will destroy their offense!" Jordan wiped his sweat, looked at the team and said: "The game time is almost over, and the rhythm of the game in the second half should also change. In the third quarter In the game, we will defend with all our strength! Defend all their attacks!"

"Destroy their confidence, destroy their courage that they have built up throughout the offseason and want to challenge us! Destroy them! Let their courage disappear! Just like last season's Eastern Conference semifinals! Destroy them!"

"Destroy them! Destroy them!"

With the players shouting with enthusiasm, Jackson nodded with satisfaction.

A great team must have a great leader. He does not need to get along with the players on the team, nor does he need to be friends with everyone on the team.

He can even be withdrawn and annoying, and can be so paranoid that everyone dislikes him.

But he must stand up when it is time to stand up. When the team needs him and his teammates need him, he must stand up and cheer up and unite everyone!

Let everyone listen to him and be willing to fight with him as the center!This is the core competency that a leader should truly possess!
In the second half of the game, players from both sides changed sides and fought again!

As soon as they came up, the Bulls showed the strong defensive pressure hidden under their gorgeous offense!

From the beginning of the half, Lin Tian rushed up to defend Childs personally. Although Lin Tian's strength is only B, which is the average level of the league, but don't get me wrong. His average level is that of all players on the inside and outside. average, not average at the point guard position.

If we only count point guards, Lin Tian's current strength must be at least A level. Except for those real cannons or guys who swing from shooting guards, there are no point guards with better strength than him. several.

So Childes wants to use his body to push away Lin Tian?It is basically impossible. In addition, Lin Tian's wingspan, size and mobility are all higher than that of Childs, which makes it difficult for Childs to break through Lin Tian's defense.

Just when Childs and Lin Tian were entangled outside the 3-point line, Ewing suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted: "Be careful!"

But before Childs had time to observe what was going on, Jordan's double-team arrived!
Under the double team, Childs had almost no chance to react. Jordan intercepted the ball. The Bulls launched a counterattack again. Finally, Lin Tian scored a layup himself and scored 2 more points!
This round of high-pressure defense is just the beginning!
In the next round, the Bulls' defensive intensity completely increased!
Whether it's Houston, Johnson or Childs, they have to face the close-pressing defense of the Bulls' perimeter trio at all times, and they have to be wary of double-team defense from the others suddenly appearing from all corners!
Even if they react quickly enough and distribute the ball in time, the remaining one of the three will quickly intercept halfway and try to steal the ball.

Even if they fail to steal the ball, the remaining two big men on the Bulls are all defensive human shields. Whether it is Rodman or Longley, they will quickly defend and protect the Bulls' basket, making the Knicks' offense completely unable to play. !
Among these three people, except for Lin Tian, ​​whose defense is still a bit immature, and whose lack of aggressiveness is made up for by vitality and movement speed, the remaining two are the league's top perimeter defenders!
Under this level of targeting and pressure defense, the Knicks' offense immediately became a mess. All tactics could not be used at all, and they were completely headless on the offensive end.

Even if they can occasionally give the ball to Ewing, as soon as Ewing gets the ball, 1-2 Bulls players will immediately rush towards him with their long arms waving, grinning and looking fierce!
Ewing is not Olajuwon. His support ability can only be said to be good, but it is definitely not his advantage. Coupled with his somewhat soft style of play, facing the Bulls' fierce defense and powerful double-teaming , Ewing immediately fell into his old habits again.

Superstitious feel.

He started shooting mid-range jumpers non-stop.

Well, the efficiency cannot be said to be bad, but it is indeed not high, not to mention that what the Knicks need now is not his piecemeal mid-range shooting, but that he needs to constantly get inside to compress the Bulls' defense and disrupt the Bulls' defense. system, and then attract double teams to distribute the ball to the outside, activating the Knicks' outside combination!

However, Ewing obviously cannot do this.

He does not have very good support and internal and external passing abilities.

Faced with this situation, if it were the Knicks last season, then Van Gundy could have asked the team to increase their defensive intensity, completely plunge the game into a muddy battle, and prevent both sides from attacking. It would be a competition to see who is the best. The tougher one.

This physical fighting style of defense and confrontation is also an important reason why the Knicks have stood firm in the Eastern Conference in the past few years and have always been a first-class team.

But this season's Knicks obviously don't have such ability. Several strong players who can defend and fight have left, and replaced by Johnson and Houston. Although they have good firepower on the offensive end, in terms of defense, the two of them are weak anyway. Not as good as Hubble and Little Mason!
But of course, every gain must come with a loss. Although the Knicks' defense really can't keep up, the offensive ability they showed in the first half of today's game is also something the Knicks did not have in previous years. .

It can only be said that the Bulls' lineup is too dreamy and too extravagant. Jordan and Pippen are all elite-level offensive and defensive players. The other players, Lin Tian, ​​Kukoc, and Cole can play beautiful offense. Rhodes Mann, Harper and Longley can provide iron-like defense again.

This team has the ability to create a dynasty!
They are born to be kings!
In the third quarter, the game quickly fell into the control of the Bulls. The Knicks' offense was completely unable to open up. In addition, Van Gundy was not an adaptable head coach. Substitutions and tactical adjustments were obvious. One step behind Jackson.

Just when he wanted to improve his defense, Jackson brought on Kukoc and Cole to strengthen the offense. Just when he was about to substitute again and compete with the Bulls for offense, Jackson brought on Hubble and Wennington to strengthen the defense...

In this game, not only was the Knicks beaten by the Bulls, Van Gundy was also hung from a tree and beaten by Jackson.

The gap between coaches is still too obvious.

Of course, the gap between coaches is only part of it. Ewing can only attack by himself and cannot lead his teammates. His style of play is soft, and newcomers Johnson and Houston are not used to such a tough style of play. Veteran Williams has the intention Kill the thief, but at the age of 40, he is still more suitable to do Tai Chi fitness with Parish of the Bulls than to play basketball on the court.

In the third quarter of the game, the Bulls relied on the defensive strategy of high-pressure defense, strong-side double-team steals, active rotation of the team, and double-teaming Ewing to prevent the Knicks' offense time and time again, and the Bulls took advantage of the opportunity. Launch counterattacks again and again, and perform extremely beautiful defensive counterattacks!
28: 12!

In the third quarter of the game, the Bulls defeated the Knicks by 16 points in a single quarter!Coupled with the lead in the first half, they once again took a 23-point lead in the third quarter!In the fourth quarter of the game, Jackson did not relax at all. He came up with a crazy offensive lineup of Jordan, Pippen, Lin Tian, ​​Kukoc and Cole without a traditional inside line. As soon as these five people came on the court, although the inside line His defensive ability and rebounding ability have declined significantly, but at this most important moment to adjust, Van Gundy failed to react!

He didn't get Ewing on the court in time, but let Ewing rest at the pace he was used to.

It was this hesitation and slow reaction that prevented him from catching the only flaw in the Bulls' lineup——

Rebounding and interior defense!

On the contrary, the Bulls took advantage of Ewing's absence and not only relied on Jordan, Pippen and Kukoc to completely control the rebounds, but also used their control of the rebounds and powerful offensive capabilities to launch a crazy counterattack!

Only 2 minutes played in the fourth quarter. Lin Tian, ​​Cole, and Kukoc each hit a 3-pointer, directly widening the point difference to 30 points.

At this time, it makes no difference whether Ewing can play or not, because the Knicks have been completely defeated!
Then, after the main players played for another 2 minutes, with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Jackson waved his hand and all the main players came off the field!

After another extremely coquettish five ups and five downs, Jackson announced that he would withdraw his troops!
Never beating up a drowned dog or pushing someone into a desperate situation is one of the biggest reasons why Jackson's players rarely get injured.

At this time, even if the Knicks have all the main players, even if Ewing starts to score again, it is still a drop in the bucket and has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The Knicks were never able to reduce the score to less than 20 points, and the Bulls' main force never returned to the court.

In the end, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 119:87.

The Bulls beat the Knicks with a 32-point advantage and got a good start to the season!

全场比赛，林天拿下19分16次助攻4篮板5盖帽2抢断的超全面数据，乔丹供献全队最高的31分4篮板2助攻，皮蓬13分7篮板4助攻，再加上罗德曼的6分14篮板，公牛队又打出了一场酣畅淋漓的大胜！

What makes many people in the league frown even more is that the Bulls played too easily. They gave people the feeling tonight that they only played at full strength in the third quarter and completely ruined the game. !The intensity they showed in the second half made everyone feel that they were just playing in the first half!
Of course, for other teams, whether the Bulls are really that strong or whether they are really in great shape tonight will need to be observed in subsequent games.

After the game, Lin Tian and Jordan followed Jackson to the post-game press conference.

Facing the packed media gallery, Lin Tian saw a familiar face at a glance.

An oriental face that looks gentle, wearing glasses and smiling!

Yang Yi!

Lin Tian knew before the game that the US-based reporter sent by Su Qun had arrived in Chicago, but he didn't expect it to be this one.

Well, according to Lin Tian's memory, within 3 or 5 years at most, after this man has matured, he will backstab Su Qun. Not only did he jump to "Sports Weekly" to be in charge of the basketball section of the weekly newspaper, he also In one fell swoop, several powerful reporters and editors from the Basketball Pioneer were poached, leaving Su Qun with a shortage of employees.

The two were very unhappy because of this incident. They didn't talk to each other for several years. There were rumors that the two had a fight in the office of "Basketball Pioneer". Well, Lin Tian didn't believe it anyway.

Both of them are venomous and shady people. If they really had a fight, why not write crazy articles and blackmail the other party to death?

I estimate that there is a high probability that there was a quarrel. One said that I will fly when my wings become stiff, and the other said that you can fly if you want. Why did you tear down my nest?

Chinese fans have repeatedly teased and tested the relationship between the two people, wanting to know the inside story of their falling out.

It's a pity that these two people and all the parties involved are tight-lipped. Apart from those half-true and half-false rumors, there is no reliable information to explain the relationship between the two people.

In the past, Lin Tian would only be a little curious about the quarrel between the two people and have a cup of melon after dinner, but now... "Basketball Pioneer News" is almost the property of the Lin family, and Lin Tianke has to take care of it. Once it is taken care of, Yang Yi must not be allowed to change jobs and affect the newspaper's sales and editorial strength.

Why not let him change jobs?

Trick him into going to a strip club and shoot some videos?

Deceive him to go gay and then make some videos?

Lie to him...

Hiss... No!
How come I, Senior Official Lin, am so sinister and vicious?
Just do the first one, and the rest won’t work!A little too much.

Just when Lin Tian was thinking wildly, the press conference had officially begun. The reporter who was called No. 1 stood up and said: "The first game of the new season, coupled with the fourth championship flag being raised, this feeling How about Michael?"

"Just like that, after all, this kind of thing is something I'm used to." Jordan shrugged and said: "Compared to the championship ceremony, what makes me happier tonight is that Patrick can no longer spray me like he did last season. That's rubbish! That idiot yelled at me last season for 1800:300 all year long. This year, it's my turn!"

Jordan's answer caused a burst of laughter from the reporters, and then another reporter stood up and said: "Michael, what do you think is the biggest reason for winning tonight?"

"Patrick only took 300 million, which means that his contribution was only one-sixth of last season, so we easily won the game." Jordan continued to answer, depending on what he meant, obviously, the salary and wages Guan, Jordan can't get through here!

Jordan would never let Ewing go without completely taunting him to the point of breaking his defense.

Who made this guy madly mock Jordan last season and shout 300:1800 throughout the entire series?
Everyone knows about Jordan's small-mindedness!

Next, the reporters asked many questions, 70% of which were directed at Jordan, only 20% were asked about Lin Tian, ​​and the last 10% were asked by a few professional and dedicated reporters about Jackson.

As time passed quickly, Yang Yi's arms felt sore, but no one asked him to ask questions. This guy was so anxious that he wanted to stand on the bench.

Seeing that the press conference was about to end, Lin Tian saw that Yang Yi was getting ready to go to the table. Finally, he stopped pretending not to see him and called on Yang Yi to ask him a question.

"Lin, it's an honor to ask you a question. In today's game you got a double-double and contributed 5 big blocks! How did you do all this? What is your goal this year? Do you have any clear ideas? What is the achievement to be achieved?”

Facing the first formal question raised by the fellow countryman, Lin Tian did not joke with him. Instead, he sat up straight, coughed and said: "The reason why Ewing can be capped so many times is because Michael told me: Patrick only got With 300 million, he is only one-sixth of what he was last year! Just go ahead and cap him!"

"Then I went, and then I succeeded continuously, and what Michael said was actually true!"

Lin Tian once again brought up the salary joke, which made the reporters and Jordan laugh so hard that Ewing had finally reaped the consequences of his trash-talking last year.

After everyone at the scene was laughing, Lin Tian continued: "As for my goal this season, the team's goal is very simple: to win the championship! For us, not winning the championship is failure. I don't think it should be said at the beginning of the season. If there is any problem with this, we are not afraid of being targeted, nor are we afraid of being called arrogant."

"If you don't even have this confidence, you don't deserve to play for the Bulls and charge for the title defense."

"The other goal is my personal goal. I hope I can be selected for the All-Stars this season and the best team of the year. As for other things, such as MVP, I really want to win, but I I thought Michael would be jealous that I was better than him, so I might as well forget it.”

Lin Tian's words caused the reporters to laugh again, while Yang Yi kept writing and drawing in his notebook. Lin Tian's words were enough for him to write many articles!
In particular, today's "Basketball Pioneer" can be renamed "Chicago Pioneer" or "Lin's Basketball News". At least half of their content will be related to Lin Tian and Chicago. Therefore, Yang Yi's workload, then But it's quite huge!
He had to break down the contents of tonight's interview and press conference into many articles and send them out in sections to fill the space prepared for him by the Pioneer Newspaper.

Yang Yi is under great pressure now!
Coming to the United States to be a team reporter is a first in China. No reporter has ever been able to follow the team for an entire season before, so Yang Yi was able to stand out among the large group of reporters from the "Basketball Pioneer" and get the award. This qualification definitely wastes a lot of effort!

But even so, he also knew that this opportunity was not solid. If the articles in a few issues were not written well or he offended Lin Tian, ​​he would have to return to China to continue his studies in a minute.

Therefore, tonight's opening match is his first interview and first submission after coming to the United States. He has been preparing for it for a long time!
So, after this interview, Yang Yi quickly returned to his rental house and began to revise the manuscript overnight!

"Jokingly saying that Ewing was only one-sixth as strong as last year, Lin Tian has already integrated into the circle of top NBA stars! 》

"With 19 points and 16 assists in a single game, is the future of the league's number one point guard already taking shape? 》

"In addition to 16 assists, there are 5 blocks!Lin Tian's goal may be to be the league's shot-blocking leader? 》

"I frankly hope to be selected for the All-Star and the best team of the year!" Second-grade Lin Tian has set his goals extremely high! 》

"The next magician or the smiling assassin?"Lin Tian may just want to be himself first! 》

"Fancy assists attracted a lot of applause. Lin Tian's selection to the All-Stars is by no means a foolish dream. Three major reasons helped him to be selected successfully! 》

"Want to be selected for the annual team?These 7 backcourt enemies are Lin Tian’s must-mentioned enemies, and the strongest among them is already a teammate! 》

……

In just one night, Yang Yi wrote seven or eight articles and sent them to Su Qun via email. Then, he lay on the bed and fell asleep beautifully.

Yang Yi believes that these articles of his will surely set off another sales frenzy for "Basketball Pioneer" and completely crush all sports newspapers in the same period!
For the Bulls, after defeating the Knicks, they can play three consecutive home games at home before starting their first road trip of the season!
And because it was just the beginning of the season, the league was not in a hurry to let teams fly back and forth between the East and the West. Therefore, in the first week of the season, even if visiting teams came to Chicago to challenge, the closest teams would come first.

The Bulls will face the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks in the next three games.

Of these three teams, in addition to the Pistons' ability to compete in the playoffs, the Cavaliers and Bucks are both teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league. The Bulls also defeated three opponents in three consecutive games. In the first week of the game, they were easily defeated. Easily won 4 consecutive victories!

With this wave of four consecutive victories, the Bulls naturally took the first place in the league. Although the Jazz, Heat, and Rockets also maintained complete victories in the first week, their net points were far behind. Far less exaggerated than a bull.

Therefore, whether it is the league's first week's strength list or the league's first week's player of the week, they are all won by the Bulls and Jordan!

Jordan was on full fire in the first week, averaging 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 55%!The biggest reason why Jordan's scoring quality and quantity are so impressive is that there have been some changes in Jordan's playing style.

The first is that in the first four games of this season, he almost did not launch the ball-holding breakthrough attack from the high position. He almost completely gave up the high-position breakthrough, which was his killer move when he was young and the most popular outside play in the league today.

Jordan completely released his offensive firepower in the low post, waist position and wings on both sides, and he also greatly reduced his forced singles after getting stuck in the low post.

Jordan used more catch-and-shoot jump shots with the help of screens after sliding down the baseline, emergency-stop jump shots that quickly broke away from the 1-2 dribble after catching the ball, and layups that followed the catch and then sinked to hit the basket. Easy layups and dunks on fast breaks.

Or to put it more simply: Jordan temporarily put away those relatively inefficient, difficult and energy-consuming offensive methods. In the first week of this season, he used a very labor-saving and very comfortable style of play!He turned himself into a pure finishing point. While doing so improved his efficiency, it also caused Jordan's assists to drop significantly.

But obviously, Jordan doesn't care about averaging 1-2 assists per game. He is not Stockton, and he only relies on that few assists to survive in the league.

For other teams in the league, no one expected that at this stage of his career, Jordan could actually change his playing style and style, and he also changed it so efficiently and concisely!
Regardless of whether fans can accept it and discover it or not, after his comeback, Jordan has indeed relied more and more on jump shots and back-ups. Breakthroughs, dunks, pull-ups, and high-post plays, which require very high physical strength and physical fitness, are all hidden by Jordan. He won't take it out until necessary.

But Jordan, who has become simple and efficient, is obviously more terrifying than before!
Because the current Jordan will give people a feeling of being light and simple. As long as you watch the Bulls' first four games this season, you will definitely have one thought -

That means Jordan didn't exert any force at all!
Then, when those analysts and coaches want to further explore the reasons why Jordan can play so easily and freely, they will discover Lin Tian!

Yes, it is precisely because of Lin Tian's existence that Jordan can play so easily!
Lin Tian always feeds the ball in a very timely manner in positional battles. After Jordan uses the screen, he can always let Jordan catch the ball before the opponent can catch up.

Not to mention the unparalleled overall view and vision that Lin Tian showed during the fast break, as well as the passing that made all the fans crazy and all the coaches scolded.

In the first four games of the season, Lin Tian averaged 14.5 points and 12.2 assists per game. His assist data was second only to Stockton's 13 assists, ranking No. 2 in the league!
Of course, in terms of assist-to-turnover ratio, Lin Tian can't compare with an old monster like Stockton. Stockton averaged 13 assists and only 3 turnovers per game, and he didn't even make the top ten in the league's turnover list.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he averages 4.5 turnovers per game, firmly ranking first in the league!
