Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 67 Rookie of the Week?Player of the Week!
"Is the era of the Lakers dominating the West over? "

"A disappointing game, the Lakers no longer seem to be the dynasty team! "

"Maggie's performance is disappointing, when will the Lakers usher in the next Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? "

……

The Supersonics' victory over the Lakers caused huge waves among NBA fans and media circles. The competition between the two teams was not low. Everyone expected that this would be a battle between sparks and the earth, but anyone who watched the entire game Fans, everyone is disappointed with the performance of the Lakers.

Although the Lakers didn't lose much, and only lost 8 points after the game, anyone who watched the game couldn't say "only lost 8 points".

Needless to say, the two teams made free throws at 10:24. Among Maggie's 22 points, 11 came from free throws. In addition, this is the result of Maggie playing for 35 minutes.

On the other side, who are the people who have been playing supersonic for a long time?

Among the main players of the Supersonics, Lu Feng, who played the longest, only played 28 minutes in the battle against the Lakers, and Kemp, the rising star of the Supersonics, only played 26 minutes.

Sam Perkins, the little transparent in the North Carolina San Shaoli, in the past few years, apart from being a younger brother behind Jordan and Worthy, has there been any highlight in the past few years?

Until now, his most memorable highlight moment is only the key rebound he grabbed in the 84 NCAA Finals, and then?Gone!

Ron Harper, a bastard who can't lead the team to win, the Mavericks can't stand him, so they will be traded to the Supersonics to start rebuilding.

The rest of them are either short or slow, and they can be called the concentration camp of the NBA's Wonderful Player Awards. They have all kinds of things, and they are still a group of rookies!

As for the Lakers being crushed and beaten by the supersonic speed, it can be described in one sentence: Don’t even have a hot face~

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not expect that he had just retired for less than two years, and his historical status would be elevated by Maggie. First, he was swept away by a gentleman under the sun in the second round of last season. Maple took a supersonic punch into the prototype.

Looking at the endless stream of interview invitations, Abdul-Jabbar was so happy that he burst into laughter.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Yes, the Lakers used to be me in C, and Maggie was Der~
The Lakers rely on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in C. This is really not a joke. Although Maggie snatched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's boss away in the second season of the Lakers, but in the playoffs, it is often Jabbar who can stand up at critical moments. bal.

In the 87-88 season when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's state declined sharply, the Lakers stumbled into the finals, facing the menacing Bad Boys, and were directly beaten 4-0.

After the finals that year, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired directly, and Maggie immediately proved it with actions in the past two years: Brother, without you, we really can't do it!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just came out of an interview program, and rushed to the next announcement...

Sitting in the car, Abdul-Jabbar thought to himself: As expected of my little brother, I still don’t forget to lift myself in this way even after I retire.

After Abdul-Jabbar got out of the car and entered the arena, he unexpectedly saw a person——Lu Feng!
Lu Feng was stunned when he saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and looked at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who came with a strange expression. Thinking back to the various filming and interviews in the past two days, he thought: I probably didn’t say anything bad about the Lakers in the past two days. ...

If there is a conflict later, what should I do? Should I fight back, or should I fight back?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar walked up to Lu Feng, with a bright smile on his face, patted Lu Feng's shoulder with both hands, and said, "Luck, yes, you are very good!"

Lu Feng:? ? ?
He thought it was enough for the Lakers' fans to be chubby, but he didn't expect, oh, he didn't expect that not only the fans, but even the Lakers' stars were chubby!
Then, Lu Feng and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar participated in a sports and entertainment talk show, showing all kinds of eccentricities towards the Lakers.

Lu Feng: I am the number one point guard in the league, and Maggie is no good at all!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Maggie is a Der, he has completely embarrassed Zijin Glory!

After defeating the Lakers, the Sonics have won 6 consecutive victories, and Lu Feng's popularity has become even hotter.

After the game, none of the Sonics returned to Seattle, and they were all participating in various interviews and talk shows.

Why is Los Angeles so popular with NBA stars?In addition to the big butt girls that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Los Angeles and various colorful and unique nightclubs, the most important point is the identity of Los Angeles as the capital of ugly entertainment.

But for any well-known football star, when he comes to Los Angeles, in addition to the daily fun, he can also participate in various activities and earn a lot of money during the trip.

It's no wonder that most of the fans in Los Angeles are fun people. You can see all kinds of stars appearing on the show every day. It seems that it doesn't matter whether you support your home team or not.

Lu Feng's popularity is high. In addition to the fact that the Sonics are undefeated, it is also because he has a high probability of being selected as the Player of the Week in the first week of the NBA.

Not counting the previous game against the Bulls, in the previous week, the Sonics won all 5 games, and they defeated many traditional strong teams like the Lakers.

The Bulls led by Jordan were not to be outdone. After losing to the Sonics, they won all 5 games, but the only problem with the Bulls is that they only played 4 games in the previous week, one less than the Sonics.

However, in terms of personal data, Jordan is the one who has the upper hand. In 4 games, Jordan averaged 31 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Outside of the game, he didn't take many shots. In the previous week's 5 games, the statistics were only 27.2 points, 2 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.

Even if you count the game against the Bulls, the average is only 30.5 points, 2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, and the statistics are also not comparable to Jordan.

If you hadn't watched Lu Feng and Jordan's various singles matchups in the first game, looking at the statistics alone, it would be impossible to tell that the two are players of the same level.

The main reason for the drop in Lu Feng's stats is that he doesn't take too many shots himself. For Lu Feng, in the regular season, he can just play casually. Compared with collecting stats by himself, the key is the team's running-in and helping his teammates improve.

One week after the start of the new season, many rookies of the 90s who were named the "Diamond Generation" by the media performed well. Bur Kimbell gained a firm foothold in the Nuggets, and Gaithers was entrusted by the Magic as soon as he came. High hopes, he was directly promoted to the team leader, and there are also players like Chris Jackson, Kendall Gill, and Derek Coleman, all of whom played well, averaging more than 15 points per game in the first week. point.

But compared to Lu Feng's strong record of leading the Supersonics against the Bulls and the Lakers, the others are obviously a level lower, and their statistics and records cannot be compared with Lu Feng's.

On the second day after meeting with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the league announced the first player of the week in the new season.

Countless people are looking forward to whether Lu Feng will be the best player of the week.

Since the league set the best of the week and best of the month in the 79-80 season, no rookie has won the best of the week and best of the month in the first week.

Magician and Bird won the best of the week and best of the month when they first entered the league, but the earliest Maggie won the best of the week in the fourth week.

If Lu Feng can get the best of the week, then there is no doubt that he is the No.1 in this matter!
After waiting anxiously, the league finally announced the player of the week. In the 90-91 season, the player who won the player of the week for the first week was - Lu Feng!
Lu Feng: That's right, it's me!
Lu Feng won the best of the week in the first season of the season, and his popularity was at the height of his popularity, but this time he could not continue to take advantage of the best of the week to make money, because the next game of the Supersonics was about to start.

The next opponent of the Sonics is - the Los Angeles Clippers!

The game is still in Los Angeles, which is the biggest reason why the Sonics did not return to Seattle after beating the Lakers.

After Lu Feng saw the Clippers roster before, he remembered that Payton was with the Clippers.

No wonder Payton has been yelling at himself in various ways. The biggest reason is that he is backed by the big city of Los Angeles, and he appears on shows more frequently than himself.

Lu Feng won the best of the week, and the media and fans became more and more crazy. Many people in the 90th class performed outstandingly in the past week. Lu Feng also won the best of the week in history. Lu Feng's light is highly affirmed.

Gaithers, Kimbell, Kendall Gill, Chris Jackson...well, why didn't I see Peyton's name?
Lu Feng checked the data of the Clippers' previous games. The team's record was 0-5, and it's been another year. It's no wonder.

What about Peyton?
首发5场，场均打28分钟，拿到7分3板6助攻，唯一的亮点就是还有场均2抢断。

Look at his three hit rates: 45%, 8%, 70%...

This is Peyton, the legendary "glove", that's it?

（佩顿的新秀赛季场均7.2分3篮板6.4助攻，三项命中率为：45%、7.7%、71.1%，到了四年级才开始数据爆发。）
Before the game between the two teams, Payton took the two former Supersonics leaders Dale Ellis and Xavier McDaniel, and made all kinds of yin and yang to Lu Feng and the Supersonics in front of the media.

Then came the day of the game...

"Larry, why are you short again?"

"Shit Luck, shut up, you!"

"Then let me put it another way, you let you take two steps, do you dare to shoot?"

"No... isn't it just shooting the ball, why don't you dare!"

84:67…

This is the score of the two teams after the third quarter, or the result of the Sonics starting only three quarters.

Dale Ellis shoots accurately. Although he looks like a black and tough guy, he is a big striker who likes to float outside and shoot. He is extremely slow, and he doesn't like to block and grab rebounds.

Xavier McDaniel is indeed tough enough and willing to do dirty work, but he is a blue-collar without a basket. Once he is squeezed into the middle distance, he becomes a nerve knife. How to cast a mid-range shot and why not.

In this game, the Sonics decided to practice their positional warfare. At the same time, they also made a small adjustment to the lineup. They put Sam Perkins on the 4th position and let the taller Kemp play the 3rd. bit.

Kemp's middle distance is still unstable, but he relies on his athletic ability far surpassing Dale Ellis to cut in, and Dale Ellis can't restrain the opponent at all.

The same is true on defense. Kemp has a jumping ability that does not match his height. Relying on his bounce speed and continuous bounce ability, Darle Ellis can't shoot the ball at all.

Dale Ellis was blown away by his substitute from last year. Not to mention annoying, the key is to lose face!
The same is true for Xavier McDaniel. After Sam Perkins was promoted to the No. 4 position, although he was of average height, he played in a more familiar position and fought like a fish in water. He kept giving Xavier McDaniel strength in the half game After a battle between men, the two looked at each other with sympathy and sympathy in their eyes.

What about Peyton?Do you need to think of any special way to deal with Peyton, just let him take two steps, and you can vote if you have the ability!
Payton: Just vote, whoever is afraid of whom!

6 for 0 long-range shots, 2 for 0 three-pointers, I am Payton, who am I afraid of!

After half the game, Lu Feng was numb from laughing, and the Clippers teammates were numb...

At that time, Payton was still so ordinary and confident. After the game, he tirelessly said: "This is just an accident. We haven't finished running in yet. We will definitely win the next game!"

Other members of the Clippers: Big brother, please leave, you have never won even a game against Lu Feng!
Lu Feng was not used to him, and directly said to the media: "That idiot who didn't shoot? Please, instead of caring about whether he can win against me, he should pay more attention to when the team will win!"

After defeating the Clippers, the Sonics have won 7 consecutive victories. They are the only team in the NBA that is still winning streak. Countless people are amazed by this: Is this really a team that has just been rebuilt?

Various media have hyped up, how many consecutive victories can the Sonics get at the beginning of the season?Who will be the team to beat them all?

Ball critics talk about it, but most people agree that the Sonics can win at least 10 consecutive victories.

Because the opponents after them were not strong, the Supersonics played a total of 4 games on the second Monday, 3 away and 1 home, all of which were Western teams. Yes, there are still strong Eastern teams such as the 5ers, Bucks and Celtics.

Then in the eighth game of the Sonics, the Sonics unexpectedly lost to the Warriors led by Nelson on the road.

In fact, it was not an accident. After the Sonics lost, a group of talents discovered that in addition to the Sonics, the Warriors were also a team full of surprises.

In the 7 games since the start of the game, the Warriors have achieved 7 wins and 5 wins. Except for one loss to the Bulls and one loss to the Rockets, they have no defeats. There are many opponents such as the Celtics and 76ers. .

For the Warriors this season, Nelson Sr. has created a team with a very different style. The starting five are: Tim Hardaway, Chris Jackson, Mitch Richmond, Chris Mullin and Alton Lister.

In this lineup, except for Alton Lister, everyone else can shoot three-pointers, and Chris Mullin, who has the lowest shooting percentage, has a shooting percentage of 37.7%.

Old Nelson's Warriors team is all shooters, but it's not a jumper team that can only shoot. Tim Hardaway and Chris Jackson are all good breakthrough players!
"The Beatles" Tim Hardaway himself is a player known for his breakthroughs, but in addition to his breakthroughs, he is actually a mid-range and long-range shooter with a good shooting percentage. His career 3-point shooting percentage is 35.5%, and he averages 5 shots per game. It's definitely not what the Internet said in the future, it will only use the body to break through.

The Sonics didn't expect that there were teams in the NBA whose average height was shorter than their own, and they were caught off guard by the Warriors. Even Lu Feng couldn't limit Tim Hardaway's performance.

What's more, the Warriors don't just have Tim Hardaway. Chris Jackson relies on various off-ball running positions to catch and shoot, as well as pick-and-roll misplacement, which directly puts the Supersonics in foul trouble.

During Polynice's rest, Kemp committed 6 fouls in three quarters, and Perkins also committed 5 fouls. Afterwards, he kept playing submissively and did not dare to foul at all.

It’s not easy for the Supersonics to replace anyone inside. Scott Montez and Michael Cage have been running back and forth without even a chance to grab a rebound. The same is true for Ron Harper. He can't take care of the ball's striker alone.

After the game, Lu Feng found Chris, who scored 21 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, and Eldridge, who played as the sixth man of the team and scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, and beat Dana Barros to a mental disorder. , the three made an appointment for a meal, and Lu Feng also got to know the high-spirited Tim Hardaway.

The second-year Tim Hardaway succeeded in usurping the throne in the Warriors this season, and his status in the Warriors has risen sharply, and he gradually has the shadow of the future "Beatle".

After losing to the Warriors, the Sonics corrected their attitude and won the Timberwolves and Mavericks in one go.

The Timberwolves' wolf management is still as "excellent" as the future. Obviously there are many rookies with explosive talents and potential in the 90s, but they just took a Felton Spencer who no one knows at the 6th pick. Together with the Clippers, it is called the shame of the 90 draft.

The lottery picked a rookie who didn't score in double figures. I really don't know what the management of the two teams are thinking!
In the game against the Mavericks, Lu Feng let Sam Perkins play to the fullest. He played 34 minutes in a single game, shooting 25 of 12 shots, 7 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 34 points and 14 rebounds. The hearts of Dallas fans are so cool.

This person was really just a substitute for the Mavericks two years ago?Are management and coaches all blind?
I don't need to forget it, why did I send people away so easily, and in the end I got back a big brush Danny Manning!

Even beating the Mavericks and the Timberwolves, the Supersonics escaped from the haze of losing to the Warriors, but they did not relax at all, because their real challenge has just begun!
The first two games of the Eastern Devils' five-game streak were against the Magic and the Nets.

The two games were not difficult. Gaithers has secured his position as the leader of the team since he arrived, but he still lacks helpers. Without a defender to pass the ball to him, he can't help it no matter how good he is.

The same goes for Derek Coleman of the Nets. He is happy to level up first. It doesn't matter whether he wins or not. Anyway, he needs to shoot more and score more points. The only task is to continue to play badly and get lottery picks.

Derek Coleman made 39 of 16 shots and 5 of 4 free throws against the Supersonics. He scored 36 points and 13 rebounds.

Even after the Magic and the Nets, the next three opponents of the Sonics, in order, are: the Celtics, the Bucks and the 76ers!
All three are playoff-level teams. The Bucks have All-Star guard Ricky Pierce, the 76ers have "Flying Pig" Barkley, and the Celtics are a star-studded giant!

The third game of the devil's five-game streak, the Seattle SuperSonics played against the Boston Celtics.

Before the game, Lu Feng met Jeff Brown's idol, a legendary man whose body was covered in beeps from top to bottom—the big beeping bird Larry Bird!
