Standing pretty old

Chapter 208 Fermentation
In fact, if you leave out the fact that the Lakers "robbed" Gasol, you don't mention it.

In February 08, there was another event that was destined to leave a deep mark in the history of the league, that is, the NBA's Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month were simultaneously taken over by the Chinese.

Needless to say, POM in the Eastern Conference, Ruan Erniu relied on two 2+ times in a single month and a shocking performance of 40 points, and finally scored an average of 59 points, 32.5 rebounds, and 20.6 assists in the whole month. Er Niu also led the Eagles to an excellent record of 5.8 wins and 1 losses throughout January.

Ruan Erniu won the best player of the month for two consecutive months, and Ruan Erniu has infinite glory. Since the award of the best player of the month was established in the 79-80 season, no player has been able to win the trophy in a rookie season, but Ruan Erniu did it.

Even Deng Daidai, who was ridiculed by the fans as "the peak of his debut" and "the eternal No. 21 rookie", even though he won the first team of the season's best team in his rookie season, he failed to get POM in his rookie season. , let alone reelected.

The POM in the West was obtained by Er Niu's compatriot, the league's top center-Yao Ming.In fact, if you remove Ruan Erniu, a center with a vague position, and Deng Daidai, who always claims to be a power forward (in fact, he is closer to a traditional center), Yao Ming is a well-deserved No. [-] center in the league.

Well, as long as he stays healthy.

Dayao averaged 25.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in January. He averaged 37.9 points per game and shot 54.3% from the field. The Rockets had a record of 10 wins and 3 losses in January.You know, this January, T-MAC was lying on the injured list and never made a comeback. It has to be said that Yao, who led the team with a single core, can achieve such results. It has to be said that this is a manifestation of his super strength.

The Rockets are accelerating, and the Eagles have climbed to the second place in the Eastern Conference and the second place in the league.

Of course, the No. 3 team is the Celtics, which has assembled the BIG36. Their record of 8 wins and 60 losses is the best in the league. According to this situation, it will be easy for them to win [-] wins.

The Eagles followed closely with a record of 33 wins and 10 losses, while the Pistons, who were squeezed out of the second place, fell behind the young Eagles with a record of 33 wins and 13 losses.

This season, the Eagles and the Pistons have one regular season left to play. It is foreseeable that this will be another playoff-level game.

Then again, if these news are placed in normal times, they are definitely the best choice for the front page headlines, but the big news in early February must be that Gasol was traded to the Lakers.

Not long after getting off the plane, Ruan Erniu was interviewed by Wang Meng, a reporter from "Sports Weekly" based in Atlanta.

The two have a good relationship, so they directly skipped the guest talk and got to the point.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you and Dayao for winning the POM last month. This is also the biggest surprise for Chinese fans. Can you briefly summarize your own feelings and last month's game?" Wang Meng asked.

Ruan Erniu thought for a while and said: "I am personally very happy to get this honor. Brother Yao has been in the NBA for seven years, but he only got the second POM in his career. I did it in my rookie season. It's definitely something to be proud of for me.

But this does not mean that my personal honor can override the team's achievements.Last month, we won some games that were not difficult, and we also lost some goals that should not have been lost.

Especially in the battle against the Phoenix Suns, we had almost no room to fight back. This reminded us that we are still far from the top teams in the league. "

Wang Meng smiled and said, "What about the night of 59 points? You broke Wilt Chamberlain's rookie season scoring record of 58 points in a single game. Why don't you talk more about this game?"

Ruan Erniu also smiled: "Didn't you say it all? So I came to the conclusion that I am now the holder of the highest scoring record in a single game in the new season, that's all."

"That's all, Er Niu, you're pretending, do you know that?"

"Brother Wang, will you write your sentence into the interview?" Ruan Erniu asked with a smile.

Wang Meng shook his head and said, "No, because I don't want to lose this job yet.

So, let's talk about the topic that everyone is discussing nowadays. What kind of changes do you think will happen to the Lakers after they get Gasol? "

Ruan Erniu came to the spirit, before Mike Bibby was traded, the goal of the Eagles was naturally the second round of the playoffs.But with Bibby, this goal must change.

And this change means that the Celtics in the East, the Lakers in the West and other teams have become the objects that the Hawks need to study carefully.

Ruan Erniu said: "Judging from the latest interview reports, Popovich called this transaction a standard 'robbery'. Personally, I partially agree with this statement.

Because Gasol is a player who fits seamlessly into the Lakers' triangle offense, my disapproval is that the Grizzlies' loss may not be as big as everyone thinks. "

Wang Meng suddenly became interested. This is the first time he heard different voices about this big deal that shocked the league today, "How do you say? Did the Grizzlies also make a profit? You know, they lost All-star Pau Gasol."

Ruan Erniu stretched out two fingers and said: "First, Kwame Brown is also an immediate fighter; second, no one knows how strong that Paul Gasol's younger brother Marc Gasol is. From two points of view, the loss of the Grizzlies is far less than everyone imagined."

Speaking of this, Wang Meng suddenly covered his mouth and said, "The trade deadline is coming up in a few days. May I ask, is there any internal news from the Eagles?"

Of course, Ruan Erniu couldn't reveal his tone casually, he spread his hands and said, "I have nothing to say about this!"

In fact, regarding this earthquake-level transaction, the discussions from all walks of life are far more than that.

In addition to the extra anger of the Lakers' direct rivals in the West, the Spurs, the attitude of the Celtics, which is flourishing in the East, is also the focus of attention from various media.

This time, the answers of the Big Three were quite consistent. They said in an interview: No matter who the opponent is, the goal of the Celtics will not change. Only the championship is their only pursuit.

Ruan Erniu's attitude towards this interview is: "The BIG3 gathered at the beginning of the season, and it took more than half a season longer than the Lakers. The Celtics have got cheap people, so of course they won't talk nonsense. gone."

The league has made up its mind to promote the yellow-green battle, but no one would have thought that the Hawks, a dark horse, are gradually becoming a powerful spoiler.

As the leader of the spoilers, Ruan Erniu must face greater challenges.

In a world where the winner is king, no one cares whether he is a rookie or not.

Ruan Erniu on the field is as dazzling as a god, but Ruan Erniu off the field is still an ordinary person.

He was somewhat uneasy about going back to the Midtown apartment now, he promised Dr. Han to settle the matter, but he didn't do it, on the contrary it was a bit complicated.

Men are selfish and possessive, and Ruan Erniu himself has to admit this.

When he returned home and looked at Han Meimei who had prepared dinner for him in the house, Ruan Erniu's feeling of uneasiness intensified.
