Chapter 112 Battle for the Best Rookie of the Month(1/2)
106 to 88.
No one may believe it, but with Lin Ying's inside advantage in the first half, the Nuggets established a 15-point lead in the first half.
In the second half, Lin Ying was heavily targeted, but Iverson stepped up to stabilize the situation, and the Nuggets won.
Of course, what's more interesting is the Kings themselves, it's a mess when they're behind.
They have good fighting strength on paper, but they are playing like this. There is no one in the Western Conference who can blame them.
According to the statistics after the game, Lin Ying got his first 20+ in his career, no, more accurately it should be 20+10!
21 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks!
This is the data of three quarters, and the points and rebounds are the highest in the team!
What he did in the paint today was really cool.
Sure enough, if you want to explode, besides being in good condition, you also have to look at who you are beating!
This dumpling meal is filling!
After the game, Karl also praised Lin Ying to the sky.
And when he was bragging, he also deliberately mentioned the topic of "Best Rookie" several times.
Don't be surprised, although the "Rookie of the Month" is selected by the league, the final award of "Rookie of the Month" is selected by the media.
Although there is no suspense about Durant being elected this year, as a coach, he must actively fight for his rookies!
Adelman next door was also canvassing for Scola's votes at the end of this year in history, and Scola's votes finally ranked third.
And it's not that Lin Ying has no chance, at least he has a good chance this month.
And although the Rookie of the Year is nicknamed by fans as the "Rookie of the Year", efficiency value is also a major reference factor when the league makes selections.
It was Scola who also "stole" the Best of the Month award from Durant this season, also relying on efficiency.
After the game against the Kings, the Nuggets continued to face the Bulls at home.
The Bulls ranked third in the Eastern Conference in wins last season, and this season should be the time to make further progress.
However, the reality is that a large number of exchanges in the summer failed to take place in the end, and the players' mentality is completely different.
Because they know that no matter how well they play, they will be sold out, and players will lose motivation even if they don't realize it.
In addition, after the Bulls traded for Camby in the summer, they sent their big money to the Cavaliers.
As a result, after beating them, they realized something was wrong.
It's no different now than in the 1980s and 1990s. They certainly know that Camby doesn't block people or get blocked in the Nuggets.
But they also know why Camby did what he did. Wasn't it just to win the best defensive player?
You won it last season and your wish is fulfilled. You should be able to defend well, right?
After all, the second pick of the 1996 generation, under one man, was the main defensive powerhouse during the Raptors and Knicks eras.
But facts have proven that once defensive habits are formed, changing them is not something that can be done overnight.
Of course, what's more important is that Camby doesn't seem to want to change!
Ruel Deng and Nocioni were the leaders over there, and he took all kinds of risks when he saw the opportunity.
What? The man he was guarding? Who cares?
This makes Skiles of the Bulls angry!
But the Bulls have given away their big money, and there is no center better than Camby.
If it were to be Aaron Gray, he would still be the big man when he was a rookie, and he would be beaten by Nene every minute.
So when the Nuggets beat the Bulls, the happiest person was Karl, the head coach of the Nuggets.
Because in the past, he was so angry that he had a cerebral thrombosis in every game. Now, it's better. He was the only one who got a cerebral thrombosis because he saw Skiles on the other side!
Then the second most enjoyable thing is Martin.
He has an advantage against Nocioni, but it's not particularly big. After all, he's also facing an Argentine beast.
But once Martin helped defend, he felt relieved.
Kenyon·Actually I am also the master of coordination·Martin is online.
Nene, the pie-eating master Hilario, Lin, the mid-range killer, Shadow, Allen, the off-ball cutting master, Iverson, JR, the three-point shooter, Smith...
A hundred flowers blooming, it’s so beautiful!
Let alone real NBA games, those who have played 2K should know that if you follow the ball but not others, the court will be riddled with holes.
And Karl also started to get rough in the second half. He replaced Martin and asked Lin Ying to play the fourth position.
This is the true master of low-position coordination.
This assist was soaring.
In the stands, Bulls general manager John Paxson really wanted Lin Ying to punch him twice.
His head was caught in the door, and he thinks that Camby will be a new person when he gets to Chicago!
And the key is Lin Ying, he played so well!
This is really the rhythm of running towards the next Yao Ming!
Although he didn't choose the person, even if he was given the choice, he might not choose Lin Ying.
But just like Bob Buss, the former general manager of the Hornets, he will not be able to escape this topic for the rest of his life.
The fans don’t care if you chose it or not, you made the deal anyway!
And to be honest, he actually couldn't feel comfortable inside.
Just like although the goddess sleeps in the same room with you because of work, nothing happens, but after all, you have slept with the goddess!
After four quarters, the Nuggets defeated the Bulls 118-105, ushering in a three-game winning streak!
In terms of statistics, the Bulls: Ben Gordon had 24 points and 4 rebounds, Luol Deng had 23 points and 8 rebounds, Nocioni had 18 points and 5 rebounds, Camby had 12 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks!
Nuggets: Iverson had 25 points and 4 assists, Nene had 21 points and 9 rebounds, Lin Ying had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, J.R. Smith had 14 points, and Martin had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
Lin Ying scored 20+ points in 2 consecutive games!
It feels so comfortable to eat dumplings this time!
Moreover, after winning the Bulls, the Nuggets' record improved from 4 wins and 4 losses to 7 wins and 4 losses, reaching the sixth position in the Western Conference!
After this game, ESPN ranked Lin Ying as the number one rookie for the first time, beating Durant.
This caused domestic fans to start bragging mode.
Originally it was the Emperor of the East and the Emperor of the West at the beginning of the season, but now that Yi Jianlian has hit the rookie wall, there is only Lin Emperor left!
"Your Emperor Lin is hard for anyone to guard against!"
"Your King Lin is the king of the NBA!"
"Young people don't know me, King Lin, and mistake LeBron for the king!"
…
Even at the press conference after the game, Lin Ying became the focus of reporters' interviews.
Because he has scored 20+ points in two consecutive games, Lin Ying is the only one among this year's rookies besides Durant.
Moreover, Lin Ying did not have unlimited fire rights, so he won it in an extremely efficient way.
If Karl said before that Lin Ying had a chance to compete for the Rookie of the Year because of the calf guard, then the reporter really thinks so now!
In the midst of all the bragging, the calmest person was Lin Ying himself.
"We are facing different opponents every night, and the real challenge for us comes in the next three games."
He didn't mean to be polite. The Nuggets' opponents in the next three games are the Hornets, Jazz and Trail Blazers.
The opponents in the first two games were weak and not strong inside.
But these three teams are very strong on paper and in excellent form.
As Lin Ying said, the real challenge has just begun.
The next three games are all away games. After packing their bags, the team sets off for New Orleans.
Two years ago, Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans and destroyed the city. At that time, the Hornets were forced to temporarily relocate to Oklahoma. Two years later, although some dilapidated scenes can still be seen from
We can see the traces of the original hurricane, but the city has been rebuilt and has new vitality.
Same thing with the Hornets.
In terms of lineup, the Hornets still have a five-pronged lineup of Paul, Maurice Peterson, Peja Stojakovic, David West and Tyson Chandler.
But their desire to compete when they return to New Orleans is completely different.
It's that feeling that when you keep winning, you bring hope to the people after the disaster.
The Nuggets eventually lost 88-93.
To be continued...
