The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 90, the battle for the best rookie.

"Li Senlin and Westbrook are both very powerful opponents, and I am looking forward to playing against them. However, the best rookie of the season is mine."

Derrick Rose told reporters.

The sudden emergence of Li Senlin put him under a lot of pressure, and his record of 35 points in a single quarter made him dumbfounded.

No matter how confident Rose is, he doesn't think he can break this record, because it is too difficult to break this record, even better than Jordan and Kobe.

Rose is very introverted, but he is very competitive, a little paranoid, and still has an immature side.

Li Senlin's performance made him have to stimulate himself through the media's voice.

As this year's No. [-] pick, he does not allow the title of best rookie to fall into the hands of other rookies.

It makes him feel like a failure, he has to be the best in the class.

The Bulls were lucky enough to get the No. [-] pick last year, and with the exchange of Ben Wallace for Dern Gooden and Larry Hughes, their strength has increased significantly this summer, and their goal is to make an impact in the playoffs.

The Bulls in the post-Jordan era have been lost for a long time, and there has been no breakthrough in the record. The management has taken on a lot of pressure and provoked a lot of criticism.

In 2004, Kobe was almost poached from the Lakers.

Although Kobe only used them as a price tag to negotiate with the Lakers management, it still let other teams see the Bulls' ambition to restore their dominance in the league.

The Jordan-era Bulls were great and unique.

Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to dominate an era.

There are countless superstars who fell in front of Jordan. How many superstars met a god-like man at the wrong time because of this man known as the "God of Basketball".

After Jordan retired, the Bulls have been in turmoil for many years and have been in a chaotic situation. No matter what lineup they get together, they can never get close to the O'Brien Cup again.

It wasn't until they chose Derrick Rose as the No. [-] pick this year that they re-established the goal of building a team with this rookie No. [-] pick as the core. .

The performance of No. [-] pick Derrick Rose did not disappoint fans and management.

In the first game, Rose has shown the potential of the league's top point guard.

Rose scored 11 points and 9 assists in his first NBA game.

In the third game, Rose scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists against Mayo's Memphis Grizzlies, which further embodies the core value.

Since the beginning of the season, Rose has averaged 16 points (second in the rookie list) and 6 assists (first in the rookie list) per game, leading the best rookie list.

He averaged 37.0 rebounds in 3.9 minutes per game.Rose shot 47.5 percent from the field and 78.8 percent from the free-throw line.

This is how the media commented on him and Li Senlin.

The characteristic of Li Senlin is that his scoring is completely dependent on three-pointers. Except for three-pointers, other scoring methods are very scarce, with strong explosive ability and poor stability. He looks like a top shooter who is not suitable for the league.

The characteristic of Rose is that he does not rely on three-pointers for scoring at all. Except for three-pointers, you can ask him to do anything, especially for breakthroughs. He is very stable and has a very mature style of play, not like a rookie at all.

The two have completely different styles, and they also represent the two extremes in this rookie class.

There is no doubt that today's duel between the two will become one of the reference factors for the selection of the best rookie of the season.

Although Westbrook has performed very well since his debut, in terms of his ability to create topics, he is far from as explosive as Li Senlin.

However, although his performance was not as good as Li Senlin's explosive performance, no media dared to underestimate his talent.

Most discerning media can see that Westbrook's strength should be much stronger than Li Senlin's if Li Senlin does not explode.

Li Senlin is obviously a role player, but he is not much more aggressive than the league's first-class super giants.

He scored 25 points in a single quarter against the Lakers, dominated overtime against the Bobcats, and scored 35 points in a single quarter against the Cavaliers. He played a total of 5 games and broke out in 3 games, fully demonstrating the ability of a top shooter.

Smack the other 29 teams that missed him in the draft with his performance on the court. .

Maybe he was missed just because he was Asian, just because he was yellow.

And after last night, even some biased American media had to admit that Li Senlin's draft pick was seriously underestimated.

"Derrick Rose vs Lee Forest"

"No. [-] pick vs second-round pick."

"Best Rookie Top VS Popular Fried Chicken"

"Best Rookie Contest"

Li Senlin broke the record last night, and the heat is still fermenting.

Therefore, the media also focused their attention on today's game.

"Li, I won't pass the ball to you specially today. Look at the media reports and completely ignore me. It's really very unhappy."

Westbrook spoke to Li Senlin on his mobile phone in the locker room.

Even if Westbrook doesn't care about other people's opinions, he can't bear the neglect of the media.

Li Senlin's performance aroused his competitiveness.

On the training ground, he can beat Li Senlin in minutes.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Senlin and Westbrook are both rookies. Obviously Li Senlin's data is better, but in the absence of Durant, everyone is led by Westbrook.

Li Senlin is just good at breaking out during the game.

"Haha, Russell, it doesn't matter, as long as you can win, you can do anything."

"Hey, do you still care about how you look every day? I thought you were cultivating immortals every day."

It is rare for Li Senlin to see Westbrook depressed because of a report. Of course, he also knows that Westbrook is not dissatisfied with him.

The Turtle just wanted to beat him.

Li Senlin's recent hot state has given Westbrook a deep sense of crisis.

"I don't care what they think, I just want to be the best rookie."

Westbrook is very upright, and his teammates played well.

Although it has attracted the attention that should belong to him.But he doesn't blame his teammates, he just doesn't want to be surpassed by his teammates.

"Whatever you want, don't forget, I'm also a point guard. We're competitors."

After Li Senlin was promoted to C+, he became confident and confident.

Coupled with the wonderful pass, he will not have such a cowardly mentality when facing Westbrook now as when he first entered the team.

What about S-class?
What about the future MVP?
How about averaging a triple-double?
Westbrook is not as strong now as he will be in the future. Li Senlin's goal is to become a superstar, so he naturally has to be domineering in his mentality.

The tortoise is a very nervous person.

I couldn't feel Li Senlin's change at all, only when Li Senlin accepted his challenge.

"Hey, you two don't mess around, if you fight, give me a seat on the bench."

Brooks was very dissatisfied with the two unscrupulous personal performances in the locker room.

As soon as the two heard what the coach said, they immediately silenced and sat back in their seats honestly.

what boss?Brooks is the big boss.

The actions and dialogue of the two of them deeply hit the veterans on the side.

Of course, the old birds are not dissatisfied.

Durant is not here, these two guys are big guys.

They like to fight, as an obedient and qualified old bird, they just need to cooperate well and be obedient.

As for the team's victory or defeat?
That's what the coaching staff and bosses worry about. They just want to make a living from basketball.

The veterans of the Thunder are very cowardly.

Compared with the stars, Li Senlin's evaluation of them as garbage players is not an exaggeration.Of course, he was one of them.

as a bottom player.

In fact, they basically don't care much about the team's victory or defeat.

If you win, you are naturally happy.

It doesn't matter if you lose.

This is related to Brooks' single-swing tactics, and it is also one of the reasons for the Thunder's poor record.
