Chapter 36 Lin Tian’s weakness was discovered!The rookie wall is coming! Throughout November, the Bulls can definitely be said to be making great progress, marching forward indomitably, and becoming invincible in the world! In the four games in October, the Bulls won an eight-game winning streak throughout November. Then, they lost an upset game in the Denver Plateau, and then they had a nine-game winning streak!It wasn't until November 10th that they lost their second game of the season in the last game of a new wave of seven consecutive away games due to exhaustion and back-to-back games.
At the end of the current month, the Bulls had a terrifying record of 17 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league without any suspense!
The only pity is that Lin Tian has never been able to complete the system's task of continuous playing time. Firstly, it is because the Bulls have too many people to play and the opportunities need to be evenly divided.
Secondly, many games were directly blocked, which resulted in the fourth quarter of the game. The Bulls often only used players who were more peripheral and closer to the water cooler to play.
Lin Tian never expected that...the team was too strong and it actually became his own pain! For the entire team, Jordan, who returned as the king, directly averaged points, rebounds and assists per game. Not only was he successfully elected as the best player of the month and ranked No. 1 on the mvp list, he also won the eighth consecutive season. , continue to occupy the No. 1 position in the scoring list!
The basketball god has returned with full blood!
Pippen, on the other hand, averaged points, rebounds, assists and steals per game. He still maintained his versatile style of both offense and defense. Coupled with Rodman's points and rebounds, the Bulls' iron triangle, each performing its own duties, became a well-deserved player in the league. The first trio and the entire league’s nightmare! As for Lin Tian, with his brilliant performance, he has gradually secured his position as the team's sixth and seventh man. He and Kukoc often play at the same time, and the two of them have a tacit understanding. The pass-cutting and fast-break coordination between them is very impressive! Throughout November, Lin Tian averaged 11 points, assists and steals per game! For a newcomer and substitute, Lin Tian's performance is absolutely amazing!
In addition, his scoring average ranks sixth among rookies, second in assists, and first in steals!
As a second-round pick, Lin Tian's performance definitely made the Bulls a lot of money! Not to mention his statistics were produced on the top team in the league!This is completely different from the playing style of Stoudemire, Stackhouse and others who unscrupulously collect data on weak teams regardless of the record, and the gold content is even more different.
Therefore, although the Rookie of the Month was won by Damon Stoudemire, Lin Tian ranked fourth on the first rookie list announced in early November! He is second only to this season's No. pick, Joe Smith, who averages points and rebounds per game, Damon Stoudemire, the current No. point guard, who averages points and [-] assists per game, and the new generation of North Carolina Flyers. Jerry Stackhouse, who averaged [-] points per game! These three are all the most popular rookies in this year, and they are even top rookies worthy of being ruined by the team!And Lin Tian is just a second-round pick with the 52nd pick in the second round!
In addition, Lin Tian is in Chicago, a top football market and the most watched team, and his attention and popularity have skyrocketed in a short period of time. Countless people have noticed that in Chicago, there is a person with a similar appearance. The handsome, fast Asian second-round pick is playing well! This attention is good for Lin Tian. For example, although he doesn't even have an agent, he has reached some cooperation with several small local brands in Chicago in a short period of time, making a small profit! But there are more disadvantages!
For example, more and more teams are beginning to study him and watch his game videos, and his strengths and weaknesses have been analyzed by the coaching staff of many teams.
Today's Lin Tian is definitely at the top of the league in speed, and his ability to handle the ball in fast breaks is also excellent. Although his mid-range shooting and three-point shooting abilities are not top-notch, they are still passable.
But his shortcomings are also obvious: although the size is good, he is a bit thin. When facing heavy defenders and experienced veterans, he will inevitably in positional battles, as long as the opponent's body is withstood, the speed advantage will not be used to some extent. Although the finishing ability has been significantly improved when driving to the basket, it will still be overwhelmed when confronting the opponent's center. A small loss.
Many teams in the league, when facing the Bulls, will target Lin Tian, engage in confrontation, increase his physical strength, press the rhythm, and not give him a chance to shoot directly after the pick-and-roll!
After this set, Lin Tian's efficiency and data also fluctuated obviously.
For example, on November 11, when they lost to the powerful SuperSonics in the Western Conference in Seattle, Lin Tian was completely restricted by Payton's body and experience. As a result, when it was supposed to be a point increase, he was beaten by the SuperSonics. Wave attack climax.
Lin Tian only made 8 of 2 shots in this game, which is considered the worst game in his entire career. However, neither Lin Tian nor the team is too anxious about such ups and downs.
As a rookie, it is normal to have flaws. Training quickly and making rapid progress is the last word!
However, what most Bulls players did not expect was that just after losing to Jordan's old rival SuperSonics on November 11, the team just returned home on December 30 and encountered another of Jordan's nemesis: Ray Jim Miller and his Indiana Pacers.
In this game, Miller once again entered his own Miller moment! 全场比赛狂中9个3分，其中光是第四节，米勒就中了5个3分单节轰下23分！ In addition, Jordan seemed to be in a bad state in this game. He only scored 23 points on 6 of 20 shots, which was not as high as Miller's score in one quarter. Everyone on earth knows that compared to Miller's 3 To score the ball, his mouth is the most hateful and infuriating thing in the world.
The whole audience was trash-talking non-stop, coupled with the nearly explosive matchup, Jordan looked as if he had eaten 100 kilograms of expired canned Spanish mackerel! And Lin Tian did not perform well in this game. He encountered the type of player he is currently least good at dealing with: Mark Jackson! Jackson is known as defender Barkley. He has a big, fat butt and can fight. He stuck out his butt and fought hard all the way. The beating was extremely painful for Lin Tian and he was completely at a disadvantage.
Originally, Lin Tian wanted to use his shark power to educate Jackson in the fourth quarter, but who knew that Jackson did not give Lin Tian any chance in the fourth quarter.
After all, Lin Tian made only 6 of 1 shots tonight, and was beaten by his opponent Jackson with perfect statistics of 21 points and 10 assists. In the fourth quarter, Jackson of course chose to trust the more mature and steady Hubble!
But in the fourth quarter, the Bulls encountered the 'God Killer' version of Miller. The Bulls had no choice but to suffer a disastrous defeat! (End of this chapter)
