Chapter 221(1/2)
220. Another No. 21 almost got beaten (No. 1 update please give me a monthly vote)
Liu Xiu locked in a single month with an average of 20+ per game!
His average score has also increased from 16.9 points per game to 18.4 points at the end of last month, reaching the third place in the rookie average.
Since the new century, there are not many rookies per game per month. This season's rookie, only James and Anthony can do it before Liu Xiu.
Last season, only Caron Butler won a single-month average of 20+ in March and won the Rookie of the Month Award.
It is worth mentioning that Caron Butler won four Eastern Conference Rookies of the Month last season, with Yao Ming and Amare Stoudemire both twice, but in the end, Yao Ming and Amare Stoudemire won 82% of the votes, while the others combined only 18% of the votes.
In the 2001-02 season, Paul Gasol won it once.
In April of the 200-01 season, a rookie averaged 21.8 points in 10 games. Scoring guard Contney Alexander, who was 13th in the first round, won the last league-to-day rookie in NBA history.
But he only averaged 9.5 points per game in the rookie season. At the beginning, he had no playing time with the Mavericks. He was sent to the Wizards as a top-notch player and instead played. Unfortunately, he died of injury and left the NBA in the summer of 2003.
The 99-00 season is different, with a total of 11 (those players) averaging 20+ per game per month...
So far this season, only 21 players in the NBA averaged 20+ per game.
There is also the situation in the same team like the OK group. There are about 10 teams who have no average scorers of 20+ per game.
In other words, if you average 20+ per game, any team will be a star or even a star player.
For rookies, averaging 20+ per game per month is enough to excite fans and focus on training the team!
Judging from the situation in the new century, all the rookies who averaged 20+ games per month, except for Anthony who was unlucky for a month, all won the rookies of the month!
But this time the question arises - what should we do if two rookies average 20+ per game per month?
Also tied for November?
But that means Liu Xiu is eliminated from the competition for the best rookie!
This is different from Amare Stoudemire's few rookies in the month last season but won the best rookie.
Caron Butler had no opponent in the East last season, and only won the Rookie of the Month 4 times, competing with the two centers in the West in a comprehensive disadvantage.
Liu Xiu and Anthony are in the West together. The best rookie in the month is naturally a direct comparison. The more months you perform better in a single month, the stronger your performance will be throughout the season.
Last month, Anthony won the Rookie of the Month and surpassed Liu Xiu's Rookie of the Month. At the beginning of this month, both of them were in excellent shape. The popularity of the Western Conference Rookie of the Month in March has been quite high.
Now, Liu Xiu has also locked in a single month after averaging 20+ per game, and his popularity can grab some of the crazy March limelight.
Because Anthony and Liu Xiu were the core of the inside and outside of the NCAA Basketball Championship last season!
Regarding the ownership of the rookie of the month, supporters on both sides have their own reasons.
Anthony needs to be the number one scorer when entering the NBA. It is very difficult to lead the team forward, as strong as Allen Iverson, and his rookie year is not as good as Anthony.
Liu Xiu is in a 50-win team when he enters the NBA. It is also very difficult to stand out in such a team with a salary of over 100 million and star-studded team.
The more intense the competition, the higher the topic!
This made the only candidate for the Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference so envious.
Wade was also back. He just won the Player of the Week and was injured. It doesn’t matter if he stopped for three or five games. He can compete for the Rookie of the Month by playing more than 10 games.
But after he healed his injury, the highlight state similar to Anthony, Liu Xiu and others disappeared.
So, despite Wade winning a Player of the Week Award, James's Rookie of the Month is still unstoppable.
Because James also played his best performance this month, hoping to compete with Wade for the best rookie of the month with the first player of the week at the start of this month. Now he is competing for the best rookie of the month. The public also believes that he will win the best rookie of the month for six consecutive months, but he is very panicked now!
Even though many media have hyped that he wants to be the best rookie in the six consecutive months, he is not as popular as those two!
...
...
Public opinion in the basketball world, the best rookie in the month, Liu Xiu locked in averaging 20+ per game in a single month, and the hype was very popular.
The Trail Blazers naturally care about this matter very much.
On the afternoon of the 27th, after the preparation training for tomorrow's game against the Spurs, Randolph said to Liu Xiu: "Warner, you have to thank me very much. It was me who gave you the right to take action, it was me who attracted the attack, it was me who helped you lead the team, it was me who... You can average 24 points per game!"
The more you say Randolph's voice is, the higher the tone.
Because he averaged 23.3 points per game in a month, just in January this year, he took off in a single month.
Liu Xiu responded with emotion: "Then don't let the ball be given to me, for example, there will be a game on the 30th tomorrow, and I will give you all the shot."
"Really?" Randolph's first reaction was delighted, but immediately felt something was wrong...
etc!
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Duncan and Garnett!
The warden's heart is punishable!
When fighting these two people, give him the right to take action? Let him transform into a little blacksmith on the West Coast?
He doesn't want to jump back!
Why didn’t the teams who played against the Celtics and Magic?
Eh?
Wait! You can learn to jump shot after the fall!
Then, he is slightly at a disadvantage in height, and he will have much less disadvantages at close range, and he will be able to use it in the future to practice mid-range shots... No, I think it's a bit wrong!
Randolph withdrew his mind, and said, "Hmph, I don't need you to give up the right to take action. You are still a rookie and like to compete with others. This butcher gives in to you..."
...
At night, the Nuggets and Lakers played their last fight this season.
Tonight, both Malone and O'Neal's two towers were absent. Both sides could not control the rhythm and could not suppress the speed, so they started to soar.
On the Lakers, Kobe made 15 of 29 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, so he made 38 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, and 3 steals. He led the Nuggets by 14 points after the third quarter.
But Anthony, who was crushed by Kobe in the first three quarters, broke out in the final quarter and led the team to score a 38-25 score in regular time in the last quarter.
In the last 2.4 seconds, Anthony made a buzzer-beating mid-range shot, killing the Lakers, and the Nuggets reversed the Lakers 112-111 to win.
Anthony scored 22 points in a single quarter, increasing the score to 41 points, and won 40+ in a single game for the second time in the rookie season!
After this game, Anthony played 16 games this month, and his average score increased to 24.5 points this month. One game increased the average score by 1 point this month, surpassing Liu Xiu to become the rookie of the highest average score this month!
...
When Liu Xiu saw Anthony's average score increased to 24.5 points this month, he wanted to ask the little blacksmith on the West Coast - how did you guard against it?
Just watching Anthony make 7 of 14 shots in the last quarter, 5 offensive rebounds in a single quarter, and Kobe's three blocks appear in the last quarter. When Anthony made a career high with 17 rebounds in a single game, the warden was speechless.
Everyone comes from Syracuse University...
Since the season's play, Anthony's average score has increased to 23.2 points, becoming another rookie after Allen Iverson to average 23 points per game.
All rely on February and March to increase the average score per game.
It is a fraction higher than Liu Xiu's impression of average score.
The strong people in the sports world can promote the development of the sports era and make other athletes have to be more talented and harder to keep up, otherwise they will be eliminated; but the sports world is not afraid of the strong people appearing. If you don’t work hard enough, you will have people who work harder, you will have people who are not talented and talented, and if someone is eliminated, it is actually freeing up a seat for others.
Liu Xiu does not have such ability and has not had such an impact.
But among the rookie group, at least for Anthony, he has achieved this effect.
Just like the influence he had on the team to Randolph, Rahim, extrajudicial madman... and others.
After defeating the Lakers, the Nuggets' record this month has reached 9 wins and 7 losses. There is still one game on the No. 31, and the opponent is the Supersonics.
Liu Xiu did not have any expectations for the defense of Lewis and Radmanovich.
The Trail Blazers' record this month is currently 9 wins and 5 losses, from 42 wins and 15 losses at the end of last month to 51 wins and 20 losses.
Although the battle for the best rookie is mainly a battle for data, when the data are not very different, it depends on the results.
In the worst case, the Nuggets won the last game, 10 wins and 7 losses; the Trail Blazers lost in the last two games, and their record turned into 9 wins and 7 losses, which was not as good as the Nuggets.
But Liu Xiu is under a lot of pressure!
This month he won a weekly best, and he could lose the best rookie of the month unless he encountered the worst situation.
But he can't lose it!
So, the next two games will have to fight for the next one!
...
...
I like it very much!
It's him!
A cruel but handsome rookie!
It's this rookie who did something he always wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
On March 28, 2004, at 7:16 pm, the Spurs and the Trail Blazers had entered the Rose Garden Stadium.
To be continued...
