The world's best combo guard

Chapter 91
Li Hao didn't lose himself in the nightclub, but just relaxed for a while. After all, he still has to be responsible for the word "professional player".

Early the next morning, Li Hao and the others set off back to Los Angeles. The away game is always more exhausting. After Li Hao had a good night's sleep, he came to Chinatown for more than an hour of massage.

A day later, the Lakers ushered in the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies, the deputy squad leader of the league, at home. Compared with the previous two games against the Spurs and the Mavericks, there was almost no suspense in this game.

Today's Memphis Grizzlies are good international teammates, absolute cash machines, and anyone can win on them.

In the end, the Lakers still won a big victory in the absence of Kobe. Li Hao played well in this game again, scoring 30 points, 6 assists and 3 steals in the whole game.

.........

The morning after the game against the Grizzlies, Yao Zhijun happily came to Li Hao's apartment with a file.

"Ah Hao, ESPN's best rookie list updated every two weeks has been released, and you are also on the list."

"Oh?" Li Hao became interested. Since the start of the new season, this is the third time ESPN has updated the list, and this is the first time he has been on the list.

"This list only includes the top 10 rookies with better performances. With your outstanding performance in the last few games, you are ranked third on this list."

"The third place?" Li Hao looked very calm. To him, this was a somewhat unexpected ranking. The reason why he was surprised was not that he felt that the third place was a bit high, but that he thought it was a bit low. .

Afterwards, Li Hao took the information from Yao Zhijun and read it in detail.

Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat has started all 6 games in the past half a month, averaging 24.5 points, 4.1 assists and 0.8 blocks per game, ranking first among all rookies in scoring and blocks per game One, the Miami Heat have four wins and two losses in the past six games. Wade has made a lot of contributions. Therefore, public opinion is impeccable in terms of record or statistics. Wade ranks first on this list .

But ESPN ranked LeBron James second, which made Li Hao a little hard to understand. What did they base on?Just based on LeBron James being the No. 19.5 pick?He still bears the title of "Son of the Chosen", or based on his average of 4.3 points and [-] assists per game in the past half month, he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a record of [-] wins and [-] losses?
Li Hao felt that he should be ranked ahead of LeBron James.

In the past half month, the Lakers played a total of six games, of which Li Hao started two games. In the last three games, Li Hao averaged 34.6 points, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals. I know that the reason why the Lakers were able to quickly recover after a wave of four-game losing streak and gain a wave of gold-rich three-game winning streak is largely due to Li Hao's credit. He averaged 23.4 points, 3.6 assists and 0.9 steals, ranking second among all rookies in points per game, third in assists per game, and first in steals per game bit.

"Hehe" Li Hao just smiled lightly after reading the list, he lost all interest in the list in an instant.

"I said yes, ESPN is a bunch of idiots, they have been wearing invisible glasses to us international players from the beginning to the end." Yao Zhijun defended Li Hao.

"Forget it, Brother Jun, it's just a list. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you want the honor of best rookie or not. I just want the championship." Li Hao instantly looked away.

"It's worth noting just the award for the best rookie, Ah Hao, don't forget that there are reward clauses in some of the commercial contracts we signed before, and all of them involve this award for the best rookie. After a while, if you can get this trophy in the end, you can earn at least 50 US dollars more." As Li Hao's chief butler, for Yao Zhijun, money is the most important thing.

"Is there such a thing? I didn't look carefully, let it take its course, of course I will work hard to get it, as for whether I can get it, it depends on God's will."

Every time ESPN updates the best rookie list, it will arouse heated discussions among many people, and this time is no exception.

Especially everyone's comments on the top three candidates on this list.

Pat Riley was probably grinning when he was sleeping during this period. When he selected Dwyane Wade with the fifth pick in the first round, many people thought that he might be lost because of this choice. So much so that he lost the name of "magic fortune teller", but since the start of the new season, Dwyane Wade has used incredible performances to completely shut up those who questioned him at the beginning.

From No. [-] and No. [-] on the Rookie of the Year list in the previous two times, to No. [-] on this list, Miami fans feel as if they have seen the next Michael Jordan.

The Chosen One is certainly excellent, and the first two rankings are the best interpretation. However, as the season progressed, the little emperor became more and more lonely around him. Cleveland did not have even one player who could help him. The naked seven-game losing streak in half a month made the young Zhan Huang finally feel the long and arduous journey of defending a city with one person.

People will get tired after all. You can't put all the responsibility for the seven-game losing streak on James. He is really too tired. Compared with the Miami Heat, he really doesn't deserve the top spot in the past half a month.

But should he really be higher than the Los Angeles Lakers' No. 10?

Some people think they should, and some people think they shouldn't.

The Chinese defender led the Lakers, who were short of major generals, against the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks. They even led the team to easily defeat the Memphis Grizzlies and ushered in a strong three-game winning streak.

The youngest 40-pointer in history, the first player in the 2003 rookie class to score 40+ points, 30+ points in three consecutive games.

Supporters believe that if such a standard cannot be recognized by the second place on the rookie list, then the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade's top position on the list is of little value.

As for the second place LeBron James, it is even more incomparable.

Opponents believe that Li Hao's last three games were brave, but they were indeed only three games. Compared with LeBron James, Li Hao may be just a flash in the pan, and ESPN ranked Li Hao third. The recognition of these three games also reflects the rigor with which they made the list.

"Come on, Americans are just like this, double standards forever"

"LeBron James has been a media-pleaser since high school as we all know"

Chinese fans are very united, they directly summed up the basis for making this list.
