Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 78 78. Blessings from all parties (please subscribe, please recommend)
After losing to the new champion Cavaliers, the Thunder still have to face the old strong team Spurs.

On January 1, the Thunder came to San Antonio.

The confrontation between the two teams in the Western Conference Finals in 12 is still vivid. At that time, the Thunder's three young men defeated the troika and entered the finals.

Today, only one of the Thunder's three young players remains, and the troika is slowly getting old, and Duncan has even retired.

Now the core of the Spurs is Kawhi Leonard, plus insider LaMarcus Aldridge, the immortal sword Manu Ginobili and the fuel tank and the French sports car Tony Parker.

Coincidentally, Ginobili also came to the Thunder's half before the game.

Another round of greetings and pleasantries, as well as blessings for Richard's selection to the rookie competition.

Sabonis is sour, he also entered the rookie competition, why is Richard the only one who got the blessing?
Looking at Richard himself, he is already a little crazy. In the first year of entering the alliance, various big shots paid attention to him, which is unimaginable.

I am afraid that even this year's No. [-] scholar does not have this treatment.

Oh, and Ben Simmons missed all of this year with a foot injury.

No performance really nobody cares.

Attention is attention, and there is no release of water. The Thunder lost 2 consecutive away games.

101:108，一样的输了7分，李察德今天表现尚可，16投7中拿到19分。

Back-to-back on February 2, the Thunder ushered in the Chicago Bulls at home.

That's right, Dwyane Wade also came to the Thunder.

With the same attention and blessings, Richard felt very honored this time.

After all, Wade is the strongest shooting guard after Kobe, and Harden is after Wade.

Being able to have a relationship with Vedra, you can ask for advice if you have nothing to do... At present, it only exists in imagination.

At this time, the reporter accompanying the team finally captured this scene.

After some investigation, it was discovered that Richard had received special visits from many stars including Nowitzki, James, Wade, Ginobili and so on.

This rookie has earned respect and wants to be fired!

All kinds of hype reports came out immediately.

"Why rookie Richard received superstar praise"

Behind the scenes of "The relationship that has to be said: Richard"

"Why Richard can make such rapid progress"

"This rookie is amazing"

……

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, not to mention that many stones were thrown into the seemingly calm but turbulent social life at the same time. The photos of Richard chatting with many stars instantly became popular all over the Internet.

Huaxia got the news and publicized it even more. On the one hand, it made Richard's reputation extremely loud, and on the other hand, it raised the friendship of several superstars in China.

People rushed to tell each other, and for a while the rookie challenge surpassed the all-star competition.

What's more, some crazy fans want to revisit the All-Star voting.

If re-voting, Richard may really be voted high. After all, the number and strength of Huaxia fans are immeasurable.

Even if he can't make it to the All-Star because the fans vote only accounted for 50%, he can still show his face.

Such heated discussions diluted the news of the Thunder's three-game losing streak. They also lost to the Bulls at home, and allowed Jimmy Butler, who did not play in the last game, to score 28 points, and Wade also scored 20 points.

And Richard made 14 of 6 shots and only scored 17 points.

There was laughter outside, but there was some gloom among the team.

Donovan seriously criticized all members of the team after the game. Since knowing that Westbrook will participate in the All-Star Weekend and that Sabonis and Richard will be present in the Rookie Challenge, the team has been in a particularly impetuous state.

Including Westbrook and Richard.

Westbrook is easier to hit the top. When the mid-range shot is inaccurate, he always carries the ball and kills in, and the organization doesn't catch it.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the low shooting percentage of other players. There is less transmission of the ball between each other. Many people always think about singles, or catch and shoot, regardless of whether they are open.

Richard's shooting rate has also been below 50% for many games in a row, which is completely different from before.

Although this is still the highest hit in the team's outside line.

"Take a good look at the video yourself. What is this fight?" Donovan angrily wanted to smash the tactical board.

Mouth said that he could no longer express his anger, and Donovan simply led the team to watch the video together.

The team's looseness and various shots are not like a strong team in the league. Although they used more enthusiasm to grab rebounds and actively defend, they did not lead to a lot of losses, but compared with the Thunder that fought the Warriors to the end two weeks ago, the gap is still quite large.

The team's tactics are not implemented, the running is not active, and one person holds the ball and all watch. Seeing these states, the players in the team are full of guilt.

"Increase training!" It was kind enough for Donovan not to yell at others. He just played consecutive home games and had more time to carry out more training work.

Although very unwilling, but this is self-inflicted, and the players can only silently nod in agreement.

On February 2, the latest best rookie rankings and MVP rankings were released, and the players who had been training intensively began to go crazy again. In the rankings, Richard's name was high and ranked third.

The first time it appeared, it ranked third. How long has Richard been forgotten?

"No. 11.2 on the rookie list: Brogdon (Bucks), averaging 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and [-] assists per game.

Second: Hilde (Pelicans), averaging 12.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Third: Richard (Thunder), averaging 17.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. ’ Collison read the latest news.

The general news is that Collison digs for everyone, like a news manager.

"Li Cha is averaging almost 18 points per game, why is he ranked third? The gap between the first two is too big. What kind of broken ranking is this!" Sabonis himself, as a rookie, defended Richard.

"Li Cha is on the list for the first time, it's good enough, these guys were blind before." Kanter grabbed some French fries from nowhere, and was chewing with gusto.

"Where are the French fries, give me some." Adams reached out to grab it.

Ignoring the bearded brother's nonsense, the others continued to discuss, "Li Cha was not well-known before, and no one thought of discussing him. Now that so many stars are paying attention, they realized that they should join the discussion."

"The main reason is that we are considered a small ball market, so we have not been paid attention to by others." Some people are very bitter.

"The Pelicans are also considered a small ball market." He was immediately refuted.

"Fortunately, Li Cha has entered the rookie competition, and the league is not blind, but the media's vision is too poor."

"Yes, you can see that Russell played so well, and he didn't get a fair evaluation!"

"Aren't you talking about Richard? How did you become me?" Westbrook didn't care. "It's good that our team wins. I just try to play hard."

"No. 25.8 on the MVP list: LeBron James (Cavaliers) averaged 8.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and [-] assists per game." Collison suddenly read the MVP list inexplicably.

"Brother Nick, what are you doing?"

"Second: James Harden (Rocket) averaged 28.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 10.8 assists per game." Collison ignored it and continued reading.

"This kid Harden is really strong this year. He is both a father and a mother. The offensive organization will catch him."

"First: Russell Westbrook (Thunder) averaged 30.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game." Collison loudly announced the number one.

"Russell!"

"That's about the same. It's not so easy to get a triple-double per game."

"Such data is rare in a hundred years, this is the MVP!"

"Oscar Robertson averaged a triple-double, and he won the MVP that year."

"So, Russell should win the MVP!"

"Don't grab, don't grab, there are only a few. This is my breakfast." Kanter protected the French fries in his hand, and almost got into a fight with Adams.

"What are you two doing!"

After being yelled at by everyone, Brother Beard stopped what he was doing, which also made the MVP discussion pause.

Everyone knows that there is a high probability that the MVP will fall into the hands of Westbrook. He has played 50 games so far this season. Westbrook has won 18 triple-doubles, and there are many consecutive triple-doubles.

The best rookie, Richard's scoring average is far ahead, and he has become the team's second-highest scorer. Although rebounds and assists are a little lacking, it is already great for a rookie to stand out in a certain aspect, and the place that needs the most performance is scoring.

Only with a violent scoring ability can the team see your value.

3D players or defensive players are generally not valued in the first few seasons of their careers. After all, there are far fewer offensive players than defensive players in the entire league. Isn't experienced defenders more fragrant?
The first choice for a rookie is usually to score. Being able to score in front of various defenders shows how talented you are.

Obviously, Richard is now clearly the most talented rookie in the 16th class.

Originally, Simmons and Ingram attracted much attention. Ben Simmons was hailed as the next James, and Ingram was also called the next Durant. Their talents and templates were all described in the draft report.

But Simmons was injured and never played, no one knows, it only exists in expectation.

Ingram doesn't seem to have achieved results in the Lakers. How can he average less than 10 points per game and compare with Durant, who is super offensive. Durant averaged 20 points per game in his rookie season, although it was piled up by shooting rights.

As for the new backcourt stars like Jaylen Brown and Jamal Murray, they didn't play in the first year.

……

"I asked you to train, what are you doing? I left for a while, you are all lazy here, and you can't play anymore!" Donovan's furious voice came, scaring the gathered players away.

But the heart has fluctuated, the players are more impetuous, and how can they train, a good team training is just perfunctory.
