"The revenge of a rookie? Or did Ross kill his old master?"
"A showdown between the favorite of the Best Rookie Award and the youngest MVP winner? Who wins and who loses? Let's see tonight's match between the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks!”
"The super rookie and the former Windy City Rose are facing off against each other. Can the former continue to perform in the MadisonSquare Garden? Or Ross 'Bull of Vengeance?"
" The deal will add to the superstar's performance. Will he be able to take revenge on the Knicks 'higher-ups by returning to the Garden tonight?”
"Can the former Rose of the Wind City prove that she still has combat strength in front of her former master?”
Originally, it was just an ordinary regular season game, but because the lineups of the two sides had almost swapped in the summer, facing each other's old owners, it became a gimmick for the Alliance to hype up.
Derrick Rose, once the youngest MVP winner in the league's history, had a glorious period of his career with the Chicago Bulls. However, after the injury, his condition deteriorated severely and he was thrown to the Knicks.
In addition to him, there was also Ty gibson and Joakim Noah, who were the Bulls 'main lineup last season. Now, they had to fight with their former teammates and brothers in the Bulls 'lineup for their own masters. It was really a joke.
Regardless of whether they were holding back their anger to prove themselves, the Alliance's media would make this match the focus of attention and create hype to attract attention. Some of the fans who had not paid much attention to the two teams had mostly shifted their attention and began to pay attention to the game.
In the evening, before the game even started, the crowds at the garden were already packed. As one of the home games with the highest attendance rate in the league, even when the team's performance was at the bottom, it could attract countless fans to watch. If you paid attention, you would find some familiar figures sitting in the front row of the audience. For example, a celebrity in the entertainment industry, a famous actor, a singer, or a sports star. There were also some upper-class celebrities, successful people, and so on, who were elegant and graceful.
The Garden had always been known as the holy land of basketball. It was once the place where countless star players yearned to play. Even though the Knicks had become a star black hole and did not have the two superstars, Carmelo Anthony and Amar Stoudemire, it was still the most lively home game in the league.
At this time, in the away team's locker room, all the Bulls players were ready to go, listening to Hoyberg's tactical deployment. In fact, Hoyberg did not arrange too many details. He only asked the players to be in their respective positions, what they should do and what they should not do, and gave Lu Yi a lot of freedom.
He reiterated Lu Yi's three-point cover tactic and strictly ordered the players to strictly implement it.
After the manager was done with the arrangements, everyone began to change their jerseys.
Lu Yi's personal locker, which was originally in the corner, had long been moved to the core area, next to Butler, Rondo, Wade, and the others. This phenomenon showed that whether it was Hoiberg or the players, they had already placed Lu Yi on the same level as the major stars.
If this was not a prodigy or a rookie with a high draft pick, it would be hard to imagine. However, Lu Yi, who hadn't gone through a proper draft before entering the league, relied on his outstanding performance in a few consecutive games to quickly improve his status in the locker room.
Now, other than Wade and Rondo, the two old hooligans, no one else dared to call Lu Yi a rookie.
"Lu, how many points do you plan to get here tonight? Tell me, I'll keep passing the ball to you.”
Rondo asked with a smile as he changed his jersey.
That tone of his seemed to not care about the Knicks at all. Lu Yi could get as many points as he wanted. Of course, he also believed that Lu Yi had the ability to get high marks. It just depended on whether the other party was willing to do so.
Lu Yi didn't think that this match meant anything to him at first, but today's crazy media hype and his teammates 'incessant teasing made him realize that his opponent tonight was his old master.
Even so, he was not affected at all because Nikos did not owe him anything. He just thought that he did not need him and chose to trade. In fact, he was secretly grateful for the old Zen master's choice. Otherwise, if he joined the Knicks, it would be difficult to compete with Anthony for playing time. Anthony was a well-known player and had the right to reject trades. Even if the Knicks wanted to get rid of him, they would have to form a team to persuade him.
Lu Yi was just a rookie. What right did he have to compete with Anthony?
"That's right, Lu. If you don't get a high score tonight, others will look down on you.”
"Lu, tonight you have to prove to the outside world that the Knicks made the wrong choice and that you are already a great player!”
"Let's go, rookie. The Knicks 'basket is yours!”
Following Rondo's suggestion, his teammates teased and echoed him, urging Lu Yi to do something as if they were afraid that the world would be in chaos.
"60 points?"
Lu Yi looked up at the ceiling and muttered.
"Then it's decided. If you don't get 60 points tonight, you can wait to treat me!”
"60 points…It might be difficult for other teams, but a miracle could happen in the Garden. Kobe, Jordan, the ancient beast, Wilt, and even Anthony himself had scored super high points!”
"Tonight, as long as you are in good condition, 60 points will be a piece of cake. Your three points are too abnormal.”
"That's right. In this game, you can use three points to shoot through them!”
When they heard that Lu Yi wanted to get such a high score tonight, their teammates seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and raised their flags one after another. Behind them, Hoyberg only frowned and did not say a word. He did not want to dampen their spirits.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The game was about to begin. The Bulls, who were the first to enter the stadium, watched the home team players enter the stadium. The atmosphere at home reached a climax after Anthony came out. The DJ seemed to be on drugs, crazily inciting the fans to cheer.
It was just an entrance ceremony, but the atmosphere at the garden was already extremely scary.
However, the Bulls players watched coldly from the sidelines, their hearts unmoved.
After Boss Qiao's appearance, the market of the Chicago Bulls had gone from a small market that no one paid attention to a super market in the league. Therefore, the treatment they received at home was no less than that of the Knicks. Of course, when the team's record was low and there were no superstar players, the attendance rate was not high.
After Anthony came out, he was full of confidence. He seemed to be extremely confident about tonight's game. He glanced in Lu Yi's direction. He was expressionless, but he held his head high, acting like a superstar.
When he was about to kick off, he stood beside Lu Yi with a stern look in his eyes.
"Newbie, don't you dare be presumptuous here tonight!”
