Chapter 237 The best of the month

October 1, noon
When the time entered 11 o'clock, nba officially announced the best players of the East and West in December 2017:
West: Russell Westbrook

Westbrook's election was almost a no-brainer, and in December he:
He averaged 27.5 points (ranked fifth in the league), 10.4 assists (ranked first in the league) and 10.1 rebounds (ranked fourth in the Western Conference). Under his leadership, the Thunder achieved a record of 12 wins and 5 losses in a single month, including defeating the Spurs, Raptors and other powerful enemies.

Westbrook scored six triple-doubles that month, which also raised his triple-double number this season to 12. In the last nine games in December, he shot more than 12% in seven games. On December 50, in the game against the Hawks, he scored 12 points and 23 assists.

Compared with the best of the month in the west, there is no suspense, and the best of the month in the east is more suspenseful:
Compared to the suspense, it's just that the two candidates in the East have more or less problems,
勒布朗詹姆斯在去年12月的14场比赛里拿下了接近场均三双的27.5分8.2个篮板10.2次助攻。

Among them, 27.5 points ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, 8.2 rebounds ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, and 10.2 assists ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Lead the Cavaliers to 9 wins and 5 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference
LeBron James' data and record, if he wins the best player of the month in a normal month, it is not a big problem.

But apparently not enough in December 2017
30.5 points (second in the league), 9.5 rebounds (fifth in the Eastern Conference), 8.5 assists (fifth in the Eastern Conference)

In the case of basic data with their own advantages and disadvantages, Young is not far behind James in double-doubles and triple-doubles

8 double-doubles and 9 double-doubles, 3 triple-doubles and 5 triple-doubles

Did not widen the gap
Not to mention

扬在12月达成了职业生涯第一次单月30+得分加命中率180俱乐部（54%+47%+97%）

This also has a lot of plus points.

The only fatal disadvantage is that LeBron James played 12 games for the Cavaliers in December, while Young only appeared in 14 of 15 games.

Eastern Best of the Month:  ………

April 1

Shams: Young of the Philadelphia 76ers completed his review today, and he has recovered from a first-degree strain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee.

April 1

Shams: Young of the Philadelphia 76ers, although he completed the 5v5 training the day before yesterday, will not return in today's away game against the Celtics.

"24-minute time limit plus a second rest." On January 1, although the team medical team agreed to play tomorrow, the playing time must be controlled.

And, the next game against the Grizzlies is best to take a break to observe the condition of the knee.

The time of the day is very fast, and it is the day of the G42 competition in a blink of an eye.

"Young will come back today and will not play more than 28 minutes." In the pre-match press conference, Monty Williams answered the first question about his comeback.

Having said so much, I almost forgot to introduce my opponent:
The opponent of the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 42 is the Milwaukee Bucks who met in the playoffs last year

This year's Milwaukee Bucks are very different from last year's Milwaukee Bucks:
The good change is that the "Greek Monster" Antetokounmpo has completed his evolution again, averaging close to 20 points and 10 rebounds per game.

High-level data has also officially entered the forefront of the league
On the bad side, the team's defensive strategy of pinching the ball holder seems to be figured out by the league
The Bucks' three-point defense against the bottom corner: the sixth worst in the league, and the three-point shooting percentage against the bottom corner is the fifth worst in the league.

The collapse of the defense caused the Bucks to completely lose the top eight seats in the Eastern Conference
Ranked tenth in the East
According to gossip, the Milwaukee Bucks management has come up with the idea of ​​taking head coach Jason Kidd in the face of such poor results.

Embiid goes straight to the Greek monster
Facing this regular season, the 76ers still made a little preparation before the game.

Before the game, the Bucks suddenly changed the injury list
Injury list update:

Antetokounmpo (right knee soreness) Milwaukee Bucks

The truce of the "Greek Monster" made it unnecessary for the 76ers to even do special matchups.

…………

…………

{Is this position pinching Malcolm like this?} When the 76ers attacked for the first time, Yang was amazed at the Bucks' pinching attack
Bottom corner
Even if the pass is as poor as Embiid, in such a large passing space, he can also send the ball to the bottom corner.

砰

No matter how fast Bledsoe makes up, it can't prevent the screen masters on each team from giving him a delay

Even without a cover, there is no way to prevent the optimal filling route from being blocked and requiring a detour.
Sterling Brown, who was unable to defend well, changed hands and missed a large open shot.

Counterattack
Young, who picked up the rebound, fed Tatum a layup in Tony Snell's selection to suppress the ball handler.

Flank
Middleton, who wants to score, can't get rid of the hardware problems of three unstable shooters around him (Bledsoe, Sterling Brown, Tony Nell) and a long-range man.

cut off
Middleton's open pass was directly copied by Richardson.

{Let me vote? ? ? } When everyone can score, Yang's shot and desire to score are not so strong.

{It's okay, you vote}Hip-pull Sterling Brown gave Richardson a message-carrying look.

{good}

If you let yourself come, then come yourself

There is no need to retell the wonderful arc of the "shua" three-pointer in words.

If someone interviewed Young and asked him what his three most confident "weapons" were on the basketball court, his answer would be 100%:
The first is the excellent projection ability, which allows you to shoot without dead ends

The second is space perception and vision, which allows you to clearly know where the loopholes are and which teammates have open opportunities in front of you.

Of course, if it is the combination of three unstable shooters and a long-range man without range that Middleton encountered in this game, Young does not have a good method hardware.

three is the body

There really isn't much room for my hips in this body.
But there are too many minor injuries and minor injuries.

Unfortunately, no one has asked this question until now.

The excitement of the first quarter ends here, because Young reached the time limit of 4 minutes and 30 seconds
With 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, Yang's statistics can only be said to be average.

17:29
The two teams played calmly in the first quarter, and the referee didn't even call for fouls a few times.

In the first quarter, it was routine, and in the second quarter, after the rotation lineup came on the field, it was the sound of wind and water.

Stealing and dunking, the first attack of the Milwaukee Bucks in the second quarter was completed by Burks.
A half-fast counterattack, after Thornmaker managed to complete two points, Burks, who got the ball, rushed to the frontcourt and found Van Vleet outside the 45-degree three-point line.

18 seconds later, with Kilpatrick's error, the Philadelphia 76ers got a third chance, this time not a three-pointer but Siakam's left-handed breakthrough
And it also caused Kilpatrick's foul.

34:54
When Young returned, the suspense of the game was all but killed.

…………

…………

89:108
Four 4 minutes came to an end very quickly.

The 76ers also solved the Bucks neatly
With 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, in the first game of his comeback, Young lost the possibility of defending the best in January.
