Chapter 243 243. The strongest rookie in history? (Add more 1523)

In one draft, if there is a player who can average 20+ per game in his rookie season, it is already very good.

There are two, a proper draft year.

3, the last time was the 32 draft 1971 years ago!

Most players who can average 20+ per game in their rookie season can become the best in the league.

That's why the future Tyreke Evans is so embarrassing.

From 2004 to 2016, for more than ten years, there were only two 20+ rookies per game, one Durant and one Evans.

Evans still averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

The three rookies averaged 20+ per game, and the statistics are also very topical.

安东尼场均23.6分6.2板3助攻1.4抢断0.5盖帽，82场全勤，成为了自1989-1990赛季后，场均得分最高的新秀，超越了艾弗森的场均23.5分。

詹姆斯79场比赛，场均21分5.5板6助攻，成为了自乔丹之后又一位场均20+5+5的新秀。

Liu Xiu averaged 77 points, 20.1 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 4.6 steals, and 1.4 blocks in 0.1 games... the rookie leader in rebounds, triple-doubles, and scoring in a single game, and led the team to a record of 58 wins and 24 losses. He has the highest field goal percentage at 46.5%, the middle three-point percentage at 31.9%, and the highest free throw percentage at 88.5%.

On the night of the end of the regular season, the websites of the major media and the sports news programs of the major TV stations began to predict the major awards, and the morning papers also reported the final ranking and award predictions the next day.

For the best rookie predictions, don’t look at those media’s fancy black Liu Xiu, but the prediction list is now ranked No.1 by all major media, and the second place between Anthony and James is different from each other.

MVP prediction, Garnett first.

Duncan is also considered to have a high probability of completing three consecutive games. Duncan has played the best efficiency of his career so far this season. The efficiency of 27.1 is rare for a traditional center, although there is a clear gap compared with Garnett's efficiency of 29.4. , but every 100 rounds can help the team get 107 points, and every 100 rounds limits the opponent to only 86 points, ranking first in the league and the strongest performance so far in his career.

These two are competing for MVP. Originally, Peja was possible, but before the end of March, Peja lost hope of competing for MVP.

The best defensive player, 5 candidates, very lively, Artest, Ben Wallace, Garnett, Ratliff, Bowen.

Candidates for the Most Improved Award, Randolph, Kirilenko, Boozer, Reid, Joe Johnson... are also a bunch of people.

There are two major contenders for the best sixth man, Jamison of the Mavericks and Damon Stoudemire of the Trail Blazers.

Antawn Jamison, who once averaged 24.9 points per game, was at his peak, played as a substitute, and averaged 53.5 points and 14 rebounds per game with a shooting percentage of 6%, which is simply bullying.

Little Flying Squirrel averaged 12.4 points, 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, relying on a better record, he can compete.

There are also predictions such as the best team, the best defensive team, and the best rookie team, so the discussion is not so high.

But looking back at certain games during the regular season, certain individual performances... people's discussions are much more enthusiastic.

Like the best individual performance of the season, people are debating it.

McGrady scored 8 three-pointers in a row to frighten the new No. [-] pick.

There were three crazy slaughters at the end of the season after the OK combination was angered by the warden's 62 points.

Nowitzki scored 22 points on 16 of 43 shots and used a three-pointer to beat the Sonics.

有姚明在打老鹰队时21投15中拿到41分16板7助攻三加时取胜。

The game with Liu Xiu and Kobe was 62 points to 58 points...

……

……

"So many people came to pick up the plane, my God!"

"Warden, look, they are all your fans..."

"What do you mean? They are all his fans. There are many fans of this butcher! Look, there is also a man wearing the number 50 jersey... Fake! Madman, you can't even keep your starting position, wear your jersey How come there are more people wearing my jersey?"

"It's more domineering to wear his jersey. Our red and white home jersey has the words "Outlaw Fanatics" on the back..."

"It turns out that's the case! Sure enough, the least good guy on our team is this high school student."

"???"

Two consecutive losses at any time to end the regular season, missed 60 wins.

But the record of 58 wins and 24 losses still makes Portland fans so happy that they fly.

I thought it would be nice to win half of the 32 games after the All-Star break.

The result was a record of 21 wins and 11 losses!

At the end of the regular season, the team returned from an away game, and thousands of fans gathered at Portland International Airport to pick them up.

The warden, who averaged 24.5 points per game in March and 31.7 points per game in April, is naturally the most sought after object by fans.

Besides the warden, the most popular ones are not butchers and outlaws, but little flying squirrels.

This is a native of Portland. He has never left Oregon before 1991. With the adjustment of play, the acceptance of the sixth man position, and the improvement of his role on the field... mainly because of his record, he began to be favored by fans in his hometown again. favorite.

Because the fans were too enthusiastic, the airport dispatched a large number of security personnel to escort the Trail Blazers players to leave.

The last time this side appeared was in the Western Conference Finals in 2000. After trailing 1-3, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers in G5 and returned to Portland, attracting thousands of fans to pick them up at the airport.

Coming out of the airport, the Trail Blazers went straight back to the Rose Garden Arena.

The day after tomorrow is the playoffs, and we will directly enter the state of preparation for the playoffs.

No one complained about this, everyone was excited.

Many players on the Trail Blazers played in the playoffs for the first time, including Raheem. Like McDyess, he only played in the playoffs once in the 97-98 season.

So many fans picked up the plane, which made them even more excited.

After arriving at the Rose Garden Arena, Liu Xiu was taken away by the waiting press officer.

Liu Xiu asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Kyle?"

The press officer responded: "Good thing!"

"Good thing? This is the direction of the lounge... I see, the best rookie of the month trophy is here, right?"

The news officer shook his head mysteriously.

But immediately the news officer lost his composure and said, "Director, aren't you curious?"

"Curious, but I'll know right away. I thought about it. It's more interesting to wait for a while than to ask for the answer."

"..." The press officer clenched his fists, and suddenly, he had an idea and said, "You won the best player of the month."

"What? Don't be kidding...really?"

"Hahahaha... do you think what I said is true?"

No matter what Liu Xiu asked, the press officer kept silent and walked away.

Finally beat the warden once!
……

The end of the regular season, at 12:2003 noon, the official NBA live broadcast program of the American cable TV sports channel, the NBA2004-[-] season regular season last week's best award and month's best award were announced.

The first to be announced is the Player of the Week award.

东部：猛龙队的卡特，3胜1负，场均28.5分6板4.5助攻1抢断1.5盖帽。

At the last moment of the season, Carter tried his best to lead the team to the playoffs, but missed the playoffs by one win.

西部：开拓者队的刘秀，2胜2负，场均33分7.7板6助攻2抢断0.25盖帽。

This was followed by the Rookie of the Month award.

East: James of the Cavaliers averaged 20.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

West: Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers averaged 31.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2 steals per game.

The final grand prize, the Player of the Month Award.

东部：猛龙队的卡特，6胜3负，场均27.9分6板4助攻1抢断0.9盖帽。

West: Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, 5 wins and 4 losses.

When the player of the week in the Western Conference was announced as Liu Xiu, people already guessed that the player of the month in the Western Conference would be Liu Xiu.

There will be a situation where the player of the month does not get the player of the week in that month.

But in the two-and-a-half-week schedule, if a player wins two weeks of the best, there will be no other possibility.

Liu Xiu won the Player of the Week award 5 times, which is already an exaggeration, one more than Garnett, the top MVP favorite.

But when the player of the month award was announced and Liu Xiu was confirmed as the best player of the month in the Western Conference in April, 4 player of the week awards were not a big deal.

There are too many great rookies in NBA history.

Since the official establishment of the best player of the month in 1979, there have been countless powerful rookies.

Magician, Big Bird, Big Dream, God, Gorilla, Admiral, Big Mom, Big Shark, Duncan... and other stars who enter the NBA will fly fiercely.

But Bird is the only one who can get the Player of the Month award in his rookie season.

No one else got it.

After 23 seasons, Liu Xiu became the second rookie to win the Player of the Month Award!

……

……

Seeing that the popularity of 62 points in a single game has declined, from a focus topic to an ordinary hot topic; seeing that the popularity of rookies averaging 20+ per game cannot support the headline dominance model, the league has given Liu Xiu's popularity a hard dose.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

On the 19th, the most popular player in the basketball world was Liu Xiu again.

Some people say that Liu Xiu took advantage of the division of the best player of the week award and the best player of the month award between the East and the West.

Some people say that there are only 4 games in the April schedule, and if the normal schedule of 9-14 games is extended, Liu Xiu will not be able to get it.

Some people say that the Trail Blazers led by Liu Xiu only won 9 games in 5 games, and their record is not good.

someone said……

These opposing voices, those who support Liu Xiu said that they are right, that's right.

But it is also the third season of the Eastern Conference, and no other rookie has won the Player of the Month Award.

There are 9 games this month, there is no way, it only has 18 days of competition.

The Trail Blazers only won 9 games in 5 games, because at the end of the season, most of the games were Eastern teams playing Eastern teams and Western teams playing Western teams. The Western Conference is not only the Trail Blazers. Everyone has the same record, the Lakers have 3 wins and 1 loss, but Liu Xiu scored 62 points in that game to prop up his opponent who won the player of the week award for the second month in a single month and the player of the month award. It's the Lakers!
Judging from the current public opinion, it is completely different from the situation when Liu Xiu won the best rookie of the month by relying on 50+ in a single game at the end of the month after the first game month!

He scored 5+ in a single game 40 times, 50+ twice, one of which was 60+, the second rookie season in history with 10 triple-doubles, two lore... and other excellent performances, which are constantly being mentioned. Early to mid-term is rare.

Strength, performance, and record may also have something to do with endorsements.

There was a lot of hype outside, and some experts even shouted the slogan of 'the strongest rookie in history'.

As for the person involved, after receiving the best player of the month trophy, under the surprised eyes of the whole team, he sank into the training of the backward jumper...
