Chapter 69 Best of the Week and Best of the Month

The league was shocked again. Tang Wenlong came from behind, and his blowout performance made him a well-deserved No.2010 in the 1 class.

What is the concept of averaging 20.7 points per game?In the NBA, average offensive starters average around 10 to 15 points per game, and those who can score 15 to 20 points are basically important firepower points in the team, and once a player scores a breakthrough 20 points, it proves that this player is at least a quasi-All-Star level.

What is a quasi-All-Star player?Regardless of whether the image and style of play are beautiful or not, once the team's performance improves, the quasi-All-Star players will become regulars in minutes.

And Tang Wenlong is not yet 20 years old.
Back then, LeBron James, the proud son of heaven, came to the league with various halos and added to his body. He also struggled in his performance at the beginning, and LeBron James scored 40+ in his rookie season, which was also in March 04. Yes, James had already played for most of the season at that time.

A player like Tang Wenlong played a total of 14 games, including about [-] games in the preseason. He was able to surpass most NBA players and get high scores that they might not have scored in their entire careers. It is really rare in history. .

So he naturally became the hottest rookie in the entire league, and he was in the limelight for a while.

The scout reports of each team have changed again and again, from a rookie with amazing physical fitness to a shooter with great potential, and now he has become a super rookie with a top scorer. He jumped out of the rookies, leading the No. [-] pick Wall, Tanhua Hayward and others. People began to compare his performance with those amazing rookie seasons of superstars in history, such as Jordan and James.

"He is a very smart player. He dribbles the ball very well and shoots very accurately. He has played a phenomenal performance." Kevin Durant, as the opponent, also praised Tang Wenlong at the media conference after the game.

In China, Tang Wenlong became the most talked about topic overnight between the ages of 15 and 35. Countless high school students and college students fell in love with him crazily. The fan base in the motherland is growing day by day.

Yao Ming has not come back yet, and Yi Jianlian is struggling on the Wizards bench. What should have made fans in other Asian countries happy, but met Tang Wenlong's hottest performance, which made Asian fans have mixed emotions. On the one hand , Tang Wenlong is an outside player, occasionally has outstanding performances and dunks, and his style of play is good. He is the pride of the whole of Asia. On the other hand, Tang Wenlong is so good. When China forms a new round of national teams, there will be no drama in their country. ?

The growing fame also brought a lot of economic benefits. Tang Wenlong's 76ers No. 1 jersey was sold out in just a few days, and the sales in the Philadelphia 76ers' official commemorative merchandise hall showed explosive growth.

In addition, as Tang Wenlong's agent, Joe Thomas was officially in pain and happiness. Chinese businessmen who don't know the time difference often quote endorsement contracts with him in broken English in the middle of the night.Joe Thomas considered whether he should form a team of agents. If this continues, no matter how much money he makes, he will have no chance to spend it.

At this time, Tang Wenlong had been recuperating in Philadelphia for two days, and once again embarked on the road of conquering other arenas.

This time the opponent is the New Jersey Nets next door. After the Russians settled in, the New Jersey Nets have become the team with the most local tyrants in the league. Let the Nets fans collapse, and Harris is no longer as popular as in previous years, with high shots and low efficiency.

It's just unexpected that after the start of the season, the combination of rookie Gordon Hayward and insider Brook Lopez is eye-catching, especially Gordon Hayward, his offensive options are very mature, and the field The performance is like a 30-year-old ball skin, suddenly won the favor of coach Avery Johnson, playing more and more time, more and more opportunities.

So far, Hayward has averaged 13.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, and successfully squeezed out Travis Outlaw to become the team's starting small forward.

The handsome young man is proud of his spring breeze, and he is doing well in New Jersey, and his girlfriends are changing around him like a lantern.

The arrival of the 76ers allowed the two rookies who are currently No. [-] and No. [-] on the rookie rankings to have a direct dialogue. The media have written articles to promote this game-"The Kings Showdown in the Next Five Years? "

In college, Tang Wenlong's good brother Wesley Johnson was particularly unhappy with Hayward. At that time, even the invincible Tang Wenlong also suffered from Hayward.

But this time, Tang Wenlong's side is not the youthful Wesley Johnson, but the league's top wing defensive gate-Iguodala!
Hayward approached Tang Wenlong before the match, and expressed his admiration for the demeanor of heroes and other soft words, with a sincere expression and full marks.

However, during the competition, he found that these words were useless to Tang Wenlong.

It turned out that in the offense of the 76ers, Iguodala had the highest proportion of offense with the ball, followed by Holiday, and Tang Wenlong was the last. The privilege of Tang Wenlong was specially designated, but in the proportion of offense, the hearts of the players naturally changed. Iguodala also intended to give Tang Wenlong more opportunities to hold the ball, but he was happy to defend.

This unspoken change is the best manifestation of Tang Wenlong's strength. Facing Anthony Morrow against such a weak shooting guard, without saying a word, he just used his vigorous body to overwhelm him.

In the first quarter of the game, Tang Wenlong scored 14 points from inside and outside, including 6 free throws, all of which were hits.

Gordon Hayward was miserable under Iguodala's blockade. He made 2 of 0 shots in the first quarter and embarrassingly received a duck egg score.The reporters sitting on the sidelines adjusted their glasses and wrote down the manuscripts for today's use in their notebooks——Tang Wenlong beat Hayward, and the first rookie won!

The Nets as a whole were naturally suppressed. In front of the young Holiday, Devin Harris also disappeared from the shadow of the All-Star back then, and he was in a mess.

At the end of the game, the Nets lost 78 to 99 by 21 points. Only three players in the team scored in double figures. Among them, Lopez was eye-catching and scored 25 points.On the 76ers side, 6 players made double figures, and Tang Wenlong scored the highest 29 points and was named the MVP of the game.

Poor Hayward only scored 4 points under the defense of Iguodala, and was immediately hacked by the media after the game.

After the game, Tang Wenlong was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week. He averaged 35.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, leading the team to beat the Cavaliers, Thunder and Nets respectively.

This is the first time that Tang Wenlong won the player of the week. Before the home game against the Raptors, the team specially organized a simple awards ceremony for him, which made him very happy.

It was just unexpected that the 76ers lost the game without the Dragon King's Raptors.

As soon as Tang Wenlong won the award of the best of the week, he had an embarrassing situation. In the whole game, he took four shots from the outside, but none of them hit. Only relying on free throws and layups, he barely got 11 points. two-digit score.

After the game, some media joked that this was the best curse of the week.

Just when Tang Wenlong was turning the world upside down in the east, the white monster in the west finally broke out unwillingly, so fast that people forgot that this repeater from class 09 was just a rookie this year .

On November 11th, Griffin scored 20 points, 44 rebounds and 15 assists in the game against the Knicks. He used his violent aesthetics to demonstrate the art of dunking. People were shocked by his various dunks. After watching it more than a dozen times, I still find it incredible. It is hard to imagine that such a jumping spring man suffered a super serious injury such as a stress fracture of the left knee and kneecap a year ago.

Finally, the rookie list is no longer a standout situation. Tang Wenlong lost to the Celtics after losing to the Raptors. He only scored 10 points in the game. So after this game, Griffin counterattacked brilliantly and jumped Became No.1 on the rookie list.

The entire month of November was a drama of ups and downs. From the outbreak of Hayward and Turner at the beginning, to the display of domineering Tang Wenlong in the middle period, and to the emergence of Griffin's Tigers in the second half of the year, people realized that this was a big drama. This is an extraordinary rookie. At the beginning of the month, someone said that there is a 11-year reincarnation, which is comparable to the words of the platinum generation. At this moment, it seems a bit unpredictable.

A few days later, the time entered December, and the first month of NBA games officially ended.

Unsurprisingly, the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference was awarded to Griffin. He averaged 20.2 points and 11.6 rebounds per game, both ranking first among rookies. He ranked second after Wall in 35.5 minutes of playing time. Ranked third with a rate of 52 percent.

In the East, the Rookie of the Month competition was fierce, and in the end it was awarded to Tang Wenlong, who averaged 19.8 points per game, because Tang Wenlong's average playing time of 32.7 minutes per game ranked fifth among rookies, lower than Turner and Hai Ward's shooting percentage reached 49.7%, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 38.9%. For an outside player, he is definitely considered a high-yield player.
