There were still five minutes before the end of the game, but the Chicago Bulls were already on their way, and the score was getting wider. On the contrary, the Celtics had been under strong resistance, and their attacks often stagnated. Thomas Jr. was even more powerful.
Even so, the Celtics still launched a strong offensive to prove that they were still alive and could still be rescued.
In the last four minutes, they intended to turn the situation around and bombarded the Bulls 'basket. As long as there was a chance, no matter who it was, they would shoot directly. However, the basket was smashed askew, and they didn't manage to score much. Instead, they were pushed back by the Bulls, and they pulled away to 20 points in one wave.
With only two minutes left in the game, Steven had no choice but to replace the main force and announce his surrender. Since the start of the regular season, they had suffered two consecutive defeats against the Bulls.
"Congratulations, you have a good start to the new season!”
Steven shook hands with Hoyberg and congratulated him dejectedly. Hoyberg laughed to himself, but he looked very calm. He replied,"I was just lucky enough to beat you two. It's not worth mentioning. The season is still long.”
His tone was humble, but his words were very infuriating.
How can you call it luck that you beat us twice?
If you give us Lu, we can win you back twice, no, four times, and sweep you all in the regular season!
Steven was secretly furious, but he still maintained a gentlemanly smile. Before he left, he deliberately walked toward Lu Yi and held his hand. He said in a tone of appreciation,""If you're not happy in Chicago, you can come to Boston.”
Tonight, Lu Yi scored 30 points again. He scored 14 out of 21 shots, 6 out of 10 from three points, and hit 4 out of 6 free throws. He scored a game-high of 38 points, and he also contributed 7 rebounding, 11 assists, 1 steal, and 1 blocked shot.
Other than the first 20 10, which was considered an excellent result, the following three consecutive 30 games, with an average of 33.7 points, 7 rebounding, and 7 assists per game. His performance was outstanding and comprehensive. He was a superstar. Especially in this game, his 38 points had once again set a new record for his career. It was unbelievable.
He didn't even feel like he could use such a rookie as the first draft pick for Steven.
Lu Yi was the cornerstone of the team that he wanted the most.
Taking into consideration that Lu Yi's current 1 1 basic salary contract did not match this rookie with superstar potential, Steven began to throw out bait and build a good relationship in advance.
Did Wan Yiliuyi really want to leave the Bulls?
Lu Yi smiled and replied calmly,""I'm really sorry, Bullard. I'm still very happy with the team and have no intention of leaving.”
That's really a pity!
Steven didn't say anything else and left with a bitter heart.
After tonight, they would only have a 2 - 2 record in the new season, while their opponent Chicago Bulls, had won four consecutive victories in the opening season, beating the 3 - 0 Boston Cavaliers and the Oklahoman Thunder to temporarily rank first in the league.
After the game, the eye-catching performance of Lu Yi caught the attention of the audience. The reporters of TNT blocked him and interviewed him.
"Tonight, you scored 30 points again and created your own new scoring record. Do you have anything to say?”
Lu Yi pondered for a while, not knowing what to say. He didn't realize that he had already scored so many points. He just felt that the feeling was very smooth and hot, continuing the state of the previous three games.
He thought for a moment and replied,"I'm very excited right now. I'm very grateful to the team for sending me on. If it weren't for Fred's trust in me, I wouldn't have achieved such results.”
Although he was very touched, he looked very calm and emotionless.
The female reporter nodded with a smile and continued to ask,""A lot of people in the outside world said that you've booked the Best Rookie award because of your performance in the first three games. What do you think?”
"Thank you for their praise. I will continue to work hard!”Lu Yi lowered his head and replied.
After he responded to the reporters 'questions one after another, he walked into the players' passageway.
Not only were the BulBulls players happy that the team had won four consecutive victories in the opening season, but even Hoiberg, the team's head coach, was in a good mood. When he returned to the locker room, he praised Lu Yi and secretly praised his idea of changing the offensive core at the last minute.
It was because after Lu Yi took over the offensive starter, the Bulls 'offense was immediate, and the effect was completely different from Butler's forced solo play. In his heart, Butler was an excellent player. He entered the league as the No. 30 player in the first round. With his own efforts, he achieved an All-Star level score of 20 5 5 per game. However, when compared to Lu Yi, who was even more talented, he was just an ugly duckling. He did not have the shine of a core member.
If Lu Yi hadn't been the core of the offense tonight, the Bulls might have died in Boston.
Compared to Butler, Lu Yi, who had only played four games, was more like a core player.
This core player did not just score high points. He also sent out 11 assists throughout the game and connected with his teammates to lead the team to a comeback victory. This game was without superstar Wade.
He had been robbed of the ball before, and now the manager was putting on a show of Lu Yi in front of everyone. Butler did not say a word, but he felt very uncomfortable. He had a vague feeling that his position as the core of the team was about to be lost, and Hoiberg was already showing signs of helping Lu Yi.
He was very unhappy and his face was very dark.
The Bulls left the North Shore Garden Arena and returned to their hotel. At this time, the comments on the Internet had exploded. Various basketball experts expressed their views on Lu Yi, and comments were released one after another.
"This year's strongest rookie is born-Lu Yi!”
"While we were still concerned about when the Philadelphia 76ers 'No. 1 draft pick, Ben Simmons, would recover from his injury, Lu Yi, as a rookie who had not been drafted, played an amazing performance in the first four games. He had an average of 30 per game, 6.5 rebounding, and 7.8 assists. He was extremely all-rounded. The rookie rookie played an important role in the team's four-game winning streak since the start of the new season. The New Chicago Bulls beat the Boston Cavaliers and the Orlando Thunder to temporarily rank first in the league.”
