Although they were back-to-back, the Pacers were still full of energy and energy when they came out. Especially the core player, Pickle Pepper, who sat on the bench with determination and confidence in his eyes.
He calmly waited for the entire Bulls team to jump in from the players 'tunnel. He watched as the substitutes came out one by one, and his eyes looked past Rondo and Wade behind Lu Yi with a hint of envy.
He was the only player in the Pacers lineup who could be considered a superstar. The other players, such as Teague and Turner, were at most quasi All-Stars. On the contrary, the Bulls had invested a lot this summer. After sending Ross away, they signed Wade and Rondo, the two All-Stars. The newly established manager also played at the level of an All-Star last season.
It seemed that the Bulls 'main lineup was stronger. With the rookie who played well the night before, and the peak of the team, the thickness of the lineup was also very impressive. It was more competitive than the Pacers.
Pickle pepper frowned and secretly sighed, no longer looking at the direction where the Bulls players came out.
The home DJ used an exaggerated tone to introduce Wade and the others. After everyone gathered together to cheer loudly, the lights in the stadium lit up. At this time, some of the audience watched Lu Yi walk to the bench with the team. They never expected Hoyberg to boldly put Mirotic on the bench and put him in the starting lineup.
This was completely different from their pre-match predictions.
When their head coach sent the main players on the field, they were shocked to find that Lu Yi was also among the starting five tigers.
"Lu was trusted by Fred just because of his outstanding performance in the first match. It seems that he is really extraordinary.”
"He is a rookie with a strong talent. His height of 206cm in shoes is enough. It is not strange for him to be promoted to the number 4 position. Have you forgotten that the Nation of Heaven came to our team as an addition to the trade for Ty gibson? It's not surprising that they're in the top position now.”
"He's much stronger than Tai!”
"Yes, after the match the night before, I look forward to him more than anyone else.”
While many fans were discussing, they were also filled with anticipation. A rookie from China had managed to score 20 10 on his debut. This was beyond everyone's expectations. Even those who had watched his three Summer League games could not imagine it.
Currently, Lu Yi's disagreement over the number 1 jersey had already begun to turn over a new leaf. No one was unhappy about this anymore. His debut performance had already conquered the vast majority of dissident fans.
Lu Yi took off his uniform, revealing his white No. 1 jersey. He entered the field naturally and calmly. Looking at his confident and ambitious appearance, he didn't look like a nervous rookie at all.
He himself did not expect that after the group confrontation in the morning, Hoiberg would put him on the main lineup list, and it was the fourth position. He had no interest in the fourth position and preferred the swingman style of play. However, Hoyberg did not set any rules for him. He only told him to do as he saw fit on the field and try to cooperate with the other three giants.
This was a bit like a free agent on the field.
Wade, Rondo, and Butler had no objections to him entering the starting lineup. Other than the latter, they all gave him some encouragement.
The match began. Both teams jumped the ball in the center circle.
As Robin tried his best to hit the ball, the basketball was caught by Lu Yi from the back. He was about to pass the ball to Rondo, who would organize the attack, when he saw Wade's position from the corner of his eye and threw the basketball in his hand.
Wade, who had just taken a step inside the three-point line, was about to turn around and return, but he did not expect the basketball to be in his hands so quickly. At this time, in front of him, due to the carelessness of the Pacers players, they temporarily gave way to a breakthrough route. He didn't hesitate to rush to the basket and make a layup before the opposing center, Miles Turner, could stand still.
"Beautiful. What an outstanding vision and overall view!”
On the sidelines, Hoyberg's eyes lit up. He was surprised by Lu Yi's choice of the ball and its sudden nature, but he was also very satisfied. He had already seen Lu Yi's extraordinary vision in the 10 assists he had in the previous game. That was why he thought of having one more attacker in the starting lineup and one more point of support.
He was very pleased to see the results at the beginning.
Monta ellis, who was facing Wade, and the Pacers 'head coach, McMillan, were stunned. They thought that the Bulls would play steadily on the first ball and fall into a positional battle. Who would have thought that after Lu Yi took the ball first, there would be a change and he could actually find Wade, who was in an open space.
With such an opportunity, would Wade think too much?
Even though he had gradually lost his peak and the Flash was no longer as explosive as before, he could still rely on his speed to catch them off guard.
"Well spread, Lu!"
Back in the backfield, Wade gave Lu Yi a thumbs up and no longer called him a rookie.
"Lucky!"
Lu Yi replied with a smile.
Rondo glanced at him but didn't say anything. He waited for Teague's arrival near the center circle.
He was already used to Lu Yi's ability. In his usual training, he had already experienced the vision and good passing skills that the other party had displayed. Other than his poor passing accuracy, his field of vision was almost comparable to his. Coupled with his height, he was simply a growing forward.
The Pacers passed the ball through the outside line, and Pickle, who was covered, broke through with the ball.
He rushed to the basket and faced Robin Lobes for a layup. However, his aim was a little off, and the basketball brushed past the hoop.
Robin grabbed the rebound and threw it to Rondo, who easily controlled the ball to the front court.
He brought the ball to the center circle and passed it to Wade. The next moment, the ball was in Lu Yi's hands.
Lu Yi received the ball without a pause. Facing Saydis Young, who was about the same height as him, he turned around and shook off the other party and appeared under the basket.
Turner obviously wouldn't let him enter the penalty area. He immediately blocked Robin behind him and went up to him. However, at this moment, Lu Yi took a small step in front of him and suddenly stopped. The basketball went directly around his back and passed to Robin.
"Clang!"
Facing the empty basket, Robin took off and dunked with both hands.
Awesome!
Two assists at the start. It looks like my change of formation was correct.
Hoyberg was secretly getting more and more satisfied. Lu Yi's performance on the offensive end had pleasantly surprised him.
