Quietly winning 5 games in a row! No. 1 in the league! The biggest dark horse in the Eastern Conference was born, and the 1-for-1 trade turned out to be a win-win situation.

In the new season, many teams in the East and West have risen to prominence, and the league pattern is different from expectations. As of now, there are only three teams in the league that remain undefeated. They are the Thunder (6 wins and 0 losses), the Spurs (5 wins and 0 losses) and the Chicago Bulls (5 wins and 0 losses). The Thunder are the defending champions, and 6 consecutive wins are commonplace and easy to come by; the Spurs have a Kirin like Bunyama, and the 5-game winning streak at the start of the season is well deserved to set the record for the best start in team history. Looking back at the Chicago Bulls, with the departure of DeRozan and LaVine, this team has turned a new page, but it has transformed into the biggest dark horse in the Eastern Conference, which is impressive.

The Bulls showed signs of rising after the All-Star Weekend last season. They made it to the play-offs with a record of 39 wins and 43 losses, but they were still eliminated by the Heat in the play-offs and missed the playoffs for three consecutive years. During this offseason, the Bulls' most important operation was to reach a four-year, $100 million contract extension with Kiddy, making him a key training target. In the new season, the Eastern Conference will face major changes that have not been seen in many years! But when looking at the prospects of the teams in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks and Cavaliers are the main themes, and the Magic, Pistons and other young guards are considered spoilers. Not many people regard the Chicago Bulls as a piece of cake.

Since the beginning of the season, the Bulls have defeated teams such as the Timberwolves, Pistons, Magic, Hawks, Kings and Knicks, quietly winning 5 consecutive games! Among them, in the opening game against the Timberwolves led by No. 1 pick Huazi, the Bulls struck back and completed a counterattack after being 15 points behind. They narrowly won by 6 points and got a good start; against the Pistons led by No. 1 pick Cunningham, the Bulls established a lead of up to 23 points. With a huge lead, they withstood the opponent's attack and narrowly won by 4 points; against the Magic, led by No. 1 pick Benqueiro, the Bulls won a 12-point victory; against the Knicks, led by the Big Four, the Bulls led by up to 22 points, and finally defeated the opponent by 10 points.

What is the concept of 5 consecutive wins at the beginning? According to statistics from the NBA official website, this is the second-best start record in the history of the Bulls, tying the 1995-96 season (starting with 5 consecutive wins and ending with 72 wins and 10 losses), second only to the 1996-97 season (starting with 12 consecutive wins and ending with 69 wins and 13 losses). In the words of fans, five consecutive wins may not be worth mentioning, but the Bulls have been waiting for this moment for 30 years, a long time coming! The Bulls have won consecutive games, and their opponents are not soft persimmons. Their performance on both offense and defense is remarkable. So far this season, the Bulls rank fourth in the league in offensive efficiency (119), sixth in defensive efficiency (110.3), and first in the league in assists (30.6) and opponent three-point shooting percentage (30.1%).

The Bulls had a fantastic start, and Kiddy was indispensable! So far this season, Kiddy has played in 5 games, averaging 32.6 minutes per game, averaging 22 points + 8.8 rebounds + 8 assists + 2 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 45.5%. Especially in the game that upset the Knicks, Kiddy fought against the Big Four in New York and scored 32 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists and 0 turnovers. His scoring reached a career high. He also became the first player in the history of the Bulls to achieve such statistics, which was better than Jordan and Rose. Kiddy is a tall guard with a strong view of the overall situation, his defensive basics are also online, and his three-point shooting has reached a new level. It is so good. He is the new generation of ball-handling core that the Bulls are looking for.

The Bulls have won five consecutive games and are super-rising. Kiddy's statistics have hit new highs and are challenging the All-Stars. He said bluntly in an interview: It is confidence and trust that have made me what I am now. I feel wanted here in Chicago, I love it here, and I love playing with my teammates every night. At least judging from the current situation, the 1-for-1 deal between the Thunder and the Bulls in which Caruso was exchanged for Kiddy was indeed a win-win situation - Caruso has helped the Thunder win the NBA championship, and the Thunder has embarked on the road to defend the title with 6 consecutive victories; Kiddy has also transformed into the leader of the Bulls, using a wave of 5 consecutive victories to rise.
