NBA The best newcomer for the month in February is released, and the East and West Zones are replaced at the same time, Bulls Kirby. White and Pelicans Williamson respectively took the lead, breaking the situation where the Heat Nunn and Grizzlies Morant have dominated the team since the beginning of the season. Since the return of No. 1 Williamson, he has been the focus of the media. It is not surprising that he has performed amazingly, but who is White? White played in North Carolina when he was in college. He was selected into the team with the seventh pick by the Bulls in 2019. It was also the Bulls who selected the North Carolina rookie in the first round after 1984. The last time they chose Jordan . Since the draft, White's name has been compared by media and football commentators with Lakers Brian because of the same pronunciation. However, even with these "coincidence", not many people at the time thought White was good enough to be the next Jordan or Kobe.
After entering the Bulls, the team initially positioned him as a substitute to control the ball. Unexpectedly, with a signature explosion, he showed amazing scoring ability. He scored 17 points in the first show and scored 25 points in the second game, defeating the Grizzlies rookie Morant and also won the Bulls' early victory this season. But then there were ups and downs. He once played for almost 30 minutes but did not score a single point, but he also made seven three-pointers in the fourth quarter against the Nick in November, setting a team's highest record in history.
Although White's scoring situation is powered off from time to time, he continues to play in full play. In the Bulls formation where the injured can form two teams this season, he becomes a live chess that the coaching team can use. Later, White tied his hair up and played in different images. He seemed to have started to perform differently, especially in late February, it heated up straight. When he played against the Suns on February 22, he scored a career-high 33 points, and then wrote a record of 33 points in two consecutive games when he played against the Wizards, and then went down to fight against the Thunder, pushing his personal score record to 35 points. He scored at least 30 points in three consecutive games and became the Bulls' rookie who has made such a record again since Jordan.
In the past five games, White scored a total of 142 points, and his recent situation is scary. Monster Williamson made nine games in February, scoring an average of 25.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and a shooting percentage of more than 56%. The only rookie who can match him is White. In the process of winning the single-month rookie in February, White also played 9 games, scoring the highest average of 20.1 points among the East District rookies, second only to Williamson. However, he is a light guard weighing only 88 kilograms, which is incomparable to Williamson's fast heavy-load tank with a speed of 130 kilograms.
White, who has an inconspicuous figure, delivered an explosive performance in February, not only showing his infinite growth potential, but also allowing him to regain the attention of mainstream media. When the Bulls lacked generals because of the wounded soldiers in the camp, although White, who was originally at Liao Hua's level, upgraded his combat power, the coaching team still allowed him to continue starting from the bench and did not directly become a vanguard. The role of maintaining the substitute scorer also allowed him to help the Bulls defeat the Mavericks in their first game in March. The long-sluggish Chicago fans gradually showed a glimmer of hope.
Bulls currently rank 11th in 21 wins and 40 losses. The Nets, the seventh-ranked top, and the eighth-ranked Magic only have 28 wins. In the case of White's explosion, it seems that it is not difficult to enter the playoffs at first glance. However, White played like this in February, but the Bulls only had a bleak record of 1 win and 8 losses. If Chicago wants to accelerate and catch up in the late stage of the season, in addition to relying on White to grab points alone, it may also require a better cooperation strategy to achieve success.
The first game of White this season made him the first NBA player born after 2000. His rise symbolizes the arrival of a newer young generation. In an interview recently, White said that he most wanted to learn Kobe's attitude, James' athleticism, Irving 's dribble, Curry 's shooting, and the most perfect player in his heart is Jordan. Although White wants to be the next Jordan or Kobe, the distance is still very far. But he repeatedly set score records, grabbing the team's first single-month newcomer award in five years, and also setting a new dawn for the Bulls.White, who successfully emerged, will his next performance fall back to the ups and downs of the early season, or will it soar to the sky, which is worthy of attention.
