Chapter 37 Rookie Wall

"28 points, 14 rebounds, the crazy rookie scored a large double-double, leading the Kings to an away victory over the Magic!"

"The competition for the best rookie is no longer in suspense? After Shaq O'Neal, the best rookie at the 5th position!"

On November 2008, 11, the day after the king's away game against the Magic, the overwhelming praise almost overwhelmed Yan Hua. It was Yan Hua's performance against Dwight Howard. Excellent, the last player who scored close to 5+30 data in the fourth game of his rookie season, but the shark who is known as the most dominant, especially Yan Hua's opponent in this game is still The current No. 15 center Dwight Howard, so after the game between the Magic and the Kings, a lot of media went crazy.

Compared with Howard, who has no technical content and only relies on strong physical fitness, Yan Hua showed a low-post offensive ability and defensive skills that are one block higher than Howard's in the game against the Magic, and most importantly, compared to Howard. The almost abnormal physical fitness, Yan Hua's hardware ability is also excellent, super long wingspan, powerful strength, outstanding movement speed, all of these indicate that this will be a player who can change the league structure, And some basketball experts, after watching the game between the Kings and the Magic, quickly found a template for Yan Hua, that is, one of the four major centers who once shocked the world, Hakeem, nicknamed the big dream- Olajuwon.

Before the king's away game against the Magic, because Yan Hua ranked first in the rookie rankings in the first week, some media gave Yan Hua the best of the season in order to create topics and increase sales. The rookie, and the hat of the future No. [-] center. The media's enthusiasm for Yan Hua quickly angered a large number of people, especially the current "No. [-] center" Dwight Howard, who even publicly stated that Yan Hua should be tested. The fineness of Hua, the future No. [-] center.

In the face of increasing popularity, TNT, the main broadcaster of the NBA, also included the game between the Kings and the Magic in the scope of observation, but on the day of the game between the Magic and the Kings, there was a "horse battle". However, after the game, when Yan Hua scored 28 points and 14 rebounds in front of "No. [-] Center" Howard and helped the Kings beat the Magic away, TNT TV Network I regretted not being able to broadcast the game.

After the game between the Kings and the Magic, almost all the media in the United States was boiling. Yan Hua had previously "collected statistics" on weak teams, overwhelming their support of Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley, and won the best of the week. After the rookie, a large part of the media was very upset. After all, compared to Yan Hua, Rose and Beasley were the darlings of the media and fans. Therefore, before the game between the Kings and the Magic, many people who paid attention to this game What the audience wants to see is the scene of Howard brutalizing Yan Hua.

But the final result disappointed these people. Not only did Yan Hua not "reveal his true form" in front of Howard, but he also played the best game since entering the NBA, with 28 points and 14 rebounds. The players who cut off such data from White Howard's head can be counted on one hand, so on the second day after the game between the Kings and the Magic, Yan Hua was greeted with only praise, most reports The media who participated in the game all praised Yan Hua.

Since the King's record last season was really not good, and two cores were sent away during the offseason, so after the start of the new season, the King has no sense of existence. Who will pay attention to a champion favorite? Woolen cloth?In the new season's national live broadcast list, the Kings only had two pitiful games, but after Yan Hua overwhelmed Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley and other super rookies, and climbed to the first place in the rookie rankings, More and more eyes are turning to the Kings and Yan Hua, especially after the Kings beat the Magic in an away game and achieved a four-game winning streak. Both TNT and ESPN have begun to discuss increasing the number of live broadcasts of the Kings across the United States.

For these profit-seeking broadcasters, whoever the fans follow and who the audience wants to watch, they will naturally broadcast whose games, so when Yan Hua has received more and more attention, increase the number of live broadcasts of the Kings across the United States , is a natural thing.

Soon, on the eve of the King's away game against the Celtics, the TNT television network announced that it will broadcast the game between the Kings and the Celtics across the United States. The Celtics formed Kevin- The Big Three of Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce defeated their old rival Los Angeles Lakers in the finals and won the final championship. Now the Celtics are also in the limelight. After Yan Hua's battle with the Magic, the current limelight is no different, so the game between the Celtics and the Kings naturally becomes the focus of the next round of the game, because everyone wants to see , a rookie who scored 28 points and 14 rebounds on the head of Dwight Howard, a rookie who was crowned Olajuwon's successor, what kind of performance can he play after meeting Kevin Garnett , Is it a flash in the pan, or continues the current phenomenon-level performance.

Under the hype and exaggeration of many outside media, the game between the Kings and the Celtics quickly became the focus of all 13 games that day. However, Yan Hua's performance in the game was somewhat apologetic for the outside world's treatment of him. In the game against the Celtics, Yan Hua played 25 minutes and made 7 of 2 shots. He only scored 5 points and 6 rebounds. In addition, he had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. Facing Dwight Howard's prestige is completely opposite. When Yan Hua is facing Kevin Garnett, he is as immature as a junior high school student.

If the Kings lost to the Celtics, it would be understandable for Yan Hua to be blown up against Kevin Garnett. After all, Kevin Garnett is the top insider in the league. He also won the honor of the best defensive player in the season, so when Yan Hua played against the Cavaliers, Ben Wallace, whose position has been seriously declining, and the second-rate center Zajunas Ilgauskas At that time, after still performing poorly, all the media and fans who were paying attention to Yan Hua thought of a word, that is, the rookie wall.

The media who said that Yan Hua encountered the rookie wall has already given Yan Hua a lot of face. After all, the new season has not even had ten games. It is a bit early to encounter the rookie wall at this time, so those who have been waiting Looking at the jokes in the media, he returned to the nature of the grass on the wall again. What is short-lived, blind cats meeting dead mice, etc., are all used to describe Yan Hua.
