I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 157 Won the Best Rookie of the Month
On December 12, when all members of the Mavericks took a flight to Minnesota, the league announced the best player of the month for the East and West in November.

东部这边，作为现阶段排名东部第三的新奥尔良黄蜂队的当家球星拜伦-戴维斯，以场均24.3分4.9个篮板8.2次助攻2.8次抢断的数据带领在整个11月获得11胜6负的战绩，荣获了东部的月最佳球员。

西部这边，萨克拉门托国王队的当家球星佩贾-斯托亚科维奇，以场均23.3分5.8个篮板2.3次助攻的数据带领国王队在整个11月获得12胜4负的战绩，荣获了西部的月最佳球员。

In fact, Peja is very lucky. The best player of the month is equivalent to a missed one. His statistics are not very good among Western players, but due to various reasons, his competitors have been defeated by him.

For example, Nowitzki was injured and missed a few games; Li Xuan also missed a few games because of the suspension; Garnett was unable to compete for the win because of the team's record...

Although Li Xuan failed to win the honor of Player of the Month, he won the NBA's Western Conference Rookie of the Month in November.

在11月的比赛中，李轩场均获得24.6分9.8个篮板3.1个助攻1.8次抢断2.8次盖帽的全面数据。

Although Li Xuan missed several games, his statistics were much better than Anthony's and he successfully won this honor.

The Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference was undoubtedly won by LeBron James.

In the November game, he averaged 11 points, 20.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, overpowering Wade to win this honor.

During this period, the best rookie of the month can get a small trophy, so Li Xuan won the first trophy in his career.

At the same time, Li Xuan, who was recuperating with his eyes closed on the recliner on the plane, suddenly opened his eyes and cursed inwardly.

"Fuck! It's like this every time, so I can't make it more humane. Fortunately, I don't have a heart attack, or I would have been scared to death."

After recovering, check the system prompt voice that sounded in your mind before.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the best rookie of the month for the first time, rewarding energy drink +10, skill experience card +20."

After receiving the reward, Li Xuan immediately used 100 [Skill Experience Cards] to upgrade [Death Coil] to LV3.

Checked the upgraded skill [Death Coil], the passive effect has been improved a bit, but the active effect has not changed.

"It's not bad, the success rate of one-on-one defense is getting higher and higher."

After Li Xuan finished checking, he turned off the system panel, lay back on the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

……

……

On December 12, all members of the Mavericks came to Minnesota. Tonight they will be a guest at the Target Center Arena to play against the Timberwolves.

Before the game, the air conditioner in the visiting team's locker room was broken. This is a problem that every team often encounters when playing away games.

After all, the arenas in the league have been in disrepair for a long time, and the air conditioning in the visiting team's locker room is rare several times a year.

But this season, Minnesota has started to snow, and the indoor temperature is also very cold, which makes the Mavericks players complain that the Timberwolves will do anything to win.

After complaining, you have to find a way to play the game, and then quickly change your jersey and go to the stadium. No matter how frantic the Timberwolves are, they will not break the air conditioner there.

After the warm-up activities, the Mavericks players were very sluggish. It was really too cold in Minnesota. Suddenly they came from the mild Orlando to the icy Minnesota, which made them unable to adapt for a while.

After the start of the game, apart from Li Xuan who was full of energy, the other Mavericks players were severely lacking in energy, and they couldn't move their bodies. They felt cold, and they even hit the iron frequently when they were open, and their condition was abnormally bad.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves are in an extremely hot state. This is their home court, and they have long adapted to this environment.

Taking advantage of the sluggish state of the Mavericks, the "three-headed monsters" combination of the Timberwolves used their own methods to score quickly, widen the point difference, and establish a leading advantage.

In this game, "Madman" Sprewell's touch was extremely hot, and he hit three-pointers from the outside one after another. Even if Finley defended well, he could still hit the fairy ball. The nerve knife really deserves its reputation.

Garnett, the inside core, restrains Li Xuan in the interior, preventing Li Xuan from wanton defense, and he has some advantages in the fourth position, and he is very good at using his advantages to score.

The Mavericks will not easily hand in their guns and surrender when encountering difficulties. Li Xuan stepped up to take on the offensive task at this time. With the help of his teammates, he ran out of opportunities, received passes from Nash, made multiple mid-range shots and three-pointers, and closely followed the score. .

If it is a one-on-one defense, Garnett can limit Li Xuan's offense.

But the Mavericks in this game decided to put all their eggs in one basket. They used three players to cover for Li Xuan, and Nash specially delivered shells for Li Xuan, making Li Xuan the most beautiful boy on the field.

As long as an opportunity arises, Li Xuan will take shots resolutely, regardless of whether he makes it or not, at least he is more reliable than his teammates, and his teammates are simply a group of ice shooters.

In this way, when there were only about 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves held an 8-point lead.

When there was only 1 minute and 20 seconds left, Li Xuan hit a difficult three-pointer against Garnett's defense, and only then narrowed the point difference to only 5 points.

Only at this time did Li Xuan activate the skill [Fatal Strike]. He thought he would lead the team to reverse and win, but tonight the goddess of luck chose the Timberwolves.

First, Garnett hit Li Xuan from the back and hit a turnaround jumper, gaining a 7-point lead.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan was double-teamed and unable to make a shot, so he chose to pass the ball out. Finley, who was open in the corner, failed to hit a three-pointer.

The Timberwolves protected the defensive rebound and began to press time. In the last few seconds, Sprewell hit Finley's defense and hit the decisive three-pointer.

The Mavericks served the ball quickly, and after Li Xuan received the pass, he could only use the active effect of [Fatal Blow] in advance, narrowing the point difference to only 7 points.

With only the last 20 seconds left, the Mavericks players did not give up and chose to use foul tactics.

"Alien" Cassel stood on the free throw line, withstood the pressure, and scored 2 points in two free throws.

The Mavericks requested a timeout and arranged offensive tactics.

After the timeout ends, the game continues.

Nash received the serve from the sideline, dribbled it, and passed the ball to Li Xuan, who was running fast without the ball.

Li Xuan took off immediately after receiving the pass, and under the pincers of Garnett and Sprewell, he made a three-pointer.

The Timberwolves protected the backcourt rebounds and saw that the Mavericks players stopped playing and no longer attacked, waiting for time to pass.

With the piercing beep, the game came to an end.

In the end, the Mavericks lost 87 to 96 away to the recently hot Minnesota Timberwolves, ending their seven-game winning streak.

这场比赛，李轩上场42分钟，投篮26投15中，其中三分球13投7中，罚球4罚4中，得到41分16篮板2助攻2抢断3盖帽的全面数据。

纳什投篮15投6中，其中三分球3投1中，罚球5罚4中，砍下17分10助攻的两双数据。

The main reason is that his teammates are too strong, which makes it very difficult for him to get assists. In the end, he can only pass the ball to Li Xuan to get double figures in assists.

森林狼队方面，加内特投篮18投10中，罚球8罚5中，砍下25分12篮板4助攻2盖帽的两双数据。

Sprewell made 9 of 6 three-pointers and scored 28 points and 3 rebounds.

After the game, the Mavericks players quickly returned to the locker room, immediately took out thick clothes and put them on to keep warm, before going back to the hotel before taking a shower.

Even the air conditioner is broken here, and it is normal that there is no hot water in the bathroom.

Not long after, Old Nelson pushed open the door of the locker room, looked at the players wrapped in zongzi, swallowed what he wanted to say before, clapped his hands and said: "I won't do the post-match summary today, pack up and leave immediately This damn place."

Old Nelson didn't want to stay any longer, he was also freezing, and immediately led the players out of the locker room, took the bus outside the arena, and returned to the hotel where they were staying.
