Chapter 104 What happened to the rookie?

(Today I have only one chapter, sort out the outline and clarify the ideas.)

The switch between Sun Yang and Davis also made the game smoother again. Otherwise, it would be difficult to score 20 points in one quarter if Sun Yang and Ross fought to the death. It was obviously abnormal to score 80 points in the whole game, which was rare in the playoffs.

Ross ran forward with the ball in his possession, and his physical fitness was more than Sun Yang, but Byron Davis's experience after switching to defense could curb his excessive performance.

With a simple delay on the outside, Ross rushed in from the middle, and scored a small throw after a jump before Camby blocked the face, and the score became 2:2.

Sun Yang is not in a hurry to show his performance. He hopes to drive the whole team through his personal efforts and form an organic combination. After the basketball was handed over to Randolph at the high position, Sun Yang ran along the left side without the ball, and just reached the low position, Randolph's pass also arrived. If Davis had this ball, he would definitely rush in and deduct one, but Sun Yang just used a fake move to lure Gray to jump and threw the ball into the air. Camby kicked the floor with his powerful thigh and then staged an air relay, which was very relaxing for him.

The Bulls' scoring points are still too few, and Rose alone is far from enough. He fell behind by 7 points in the fifth minute. Sun Yang did not contribute other than the first two points, but he only got 5 assists in half a quarter, and he couldn't run a double-double today.

——————————————

During the regular timeout in the six minutes of the first quarter, the Clippers replaced the rotation lineup. DeAndre Jordan replaced Camby, Nowak replaced Thorton, and Mike Taylor replaced Sun Yang. In this case, only two main players, Randolph and Byron Davis, are still on the court. Currently, the Clippers are leading 15:8, so there is no need to worry.

In fact, Sun Yang did not communicate too much with Dunleavy, but the two were like they had a sympathy. This lineup was obviously to hone the rookie. Without Sun Yang's oppressive defense, Ben Gordon scored 4 points in a row. He first received Ross' breakthrough pass and made a mid-range shot, and then he successfully beat Taylor, almost 2+1.

The Clippers then responded very promptly, that is, they insisted on defending the joint defense. They forced you to break through or shoot easily, and they could always see two or more people around them. This also has disadvantages and it is easy to consume physical strength. But for the substitutes who are less than 20 minutes per game, they are worried about not having room to play. Now Dunleavy's strategy is equivalent to giving everyone a signal, as long as you play well, there is enough chance. That means more data and more chips are added when renewing the contract.

——————————————

The Bulls' breaking defense was useless, that was to constantly hit the ring. Headed by Ross Gordon, both of them were experts in breakthroughs. Fortunately, they always scored goals every once in a while. Gordon seemed to be in trouble. His height was a shortcoming, and 191 cm was not enough to see. After taking two big shots, Gordon became a little timid, so the Bulls' offensive task was all implemented on Ross, and the burden on his shoulders became heavier.

30:27, the first quarter ended with Davis' missed layup. The Clippers performed well in the back-to-back away game. They almost didn't put much effort into the Thunder last night, so they were in good shape.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams made pure starts, and Sun Yang also returned to the court. When he was just resting, he carefully looked at a championship pennant above his head. The first three consecutive championships were won by 91-93, and the second three consecutive championships were won by 96-98. These six pennants were all because of the man named Michael Jordan. It can be said that Jordan and Stern promoted the NBA to the whole world. There is no end to the topic about him. He is not only a microcosm and representative of American sports, but also influenced several generations.

People always think of Jordan inadvertently when playing in this stadium, and Sun Yang is no exception. Now everything in the team is developing in a good direction, but he dare not expect a championship at all. Compared with those seniors, he is just a grass. The impression left by the Clippers this season is just that they are rising and can afford the title of "upstart". Perhaps it is not a big problem to enter the playoffs, but no one thinks they can play in the Western Conference semi-finals. Compared with those old and powerful teams, the Clippers always seem to lack something, which is the confidence and domineeringness brought by strength. Sometimes experts always like to use the championship to talk about things, which is not false.

———————————————

After thinking so much, it was actually just a moment. Sun Yang took Byron Davis' serve and moved forward. The road had to be taken step by step, and if you take a big step, you would get the egg. Don't think about those false things for now, winning is the king.

Ben Gordon saw Sun Yang appearing on the court and defended from the bottom line to the backcourt. The two had similar physical hardware, but Ben Gordon's overall quality was much stronger, so Sun Yang was not that comfortable to play.

Continuous cross-dribbling pressed step by step, Sun Yang suddenly pulled the ball and pulled out his hand. He brushed it with a beautiful 3-pointer, but he didn't expect that he would get the first test shot from the outside. Jordan actually had three-pointers when he first entered the league, but he was criticized and then made up for it. Sun Yang was just the opposite, starting with shooting. Sun Yang's physical limitations made him destined to be unable to open and close like Kobe. Although he occasionally made amazing moves, it was just an instantaneous explosion and could not count.

"Your defense is really bad. Do you dare to put some pressure on me?" Sun Yang recently played like an old guard who had been ups and downs for more than ten years. But he was only 20 years old after all. Thinking of the unnatural reactions that happened in this stadium, this may be the recklessness of youth.

"This is not a place where you can go wild. You will pay for what you do. Don't be too arrogant, a rookie." Ben Gordon said viciously. Being selected by the Bull in the third place has proved his talent.

"What's wrong with the rookie? Ross has become the team leader as soon as he comes out. He has done something you haven't done in four years in a month. So never underestimate the rookie. After all, the most dangerous things in the world are the elderly, children and women." Sun Yang didn't know why he said this. Maybe he was thinking a lot recently and thinking too much, regardless of whether Ben Gordon understood it.

Ross took over the ball with all his power and passed halftime, and Ben Gordon reached out to ask for the ball. Ross had already seen the trash talk between him and Sun Yang, and it was not surprising that he passed the ball over. Little did he know that Gordon had touched the pain because of Sun Yang's words, and he also had some dissatisfaction with him.

Gordon just renewed his contract with the team this summer, but he only signed for one year, and the 6.4 million US dollars is not bad. There is no need to clarify the taste of it, everyone is waiting to see his jokes. If he performs poorly this season, he will definitely be kicked out. After all, if the team really needs him, he will not only sign a one-year contract. It can be said that he is no longer in the Bulls' reconstruction plan.
