(Thanks to Yu Lingfeng for the monthly pass!!! ）

"LeBron, congratulations on leading the Cavaliers to victory over the Hawks."

James had just returned to the locker room after the game and had not had time to take a shower when he was surrounded by a large group of reporters.

"Thank you, my teammates played so well and made the game so much easier." The little emperor, who got 24 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists today, looked in a good mood, and he was very accustomed to and enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight in front of the microphone and camera lens in the hands of reporters.

"The day after tomorrow is against the Knicks, what do you think of this year's outstanding Tanhua show?"

Hearing the reporter's question, James visibly hesitated. The Chinese rookie's outstanding performance after entering the league even completely overshadowed his performance in his rookie season. Of course, the little emperor was only 18 years old when he became a rookie. And Sun Yi is 20 years old this year.

"Sun, he's a great player, I followed him in high school." James did go to watch Sun Yi's game with his friends when he was in his third year of high school.

……

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks, two teams with very different strengths and records, were quickly rendered by the media as a showdown between the Little Emperor and the Chinese Suns. However, one plays point guard and the other plays small forward. This kind of public opinion propaganda is obviously a bit far-fetched.

On November 25, the full-to-house Madison Square Garden Arena in New York welcomed the challenge of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are currently ranked second in the East.

Before the game, James, who is very good at showmanship, ran to the front of the Knicks rookie, hugged each other cordially and sent his own encouragement.

This move of the little emperor won the appreciation of many fans on the spot.

It's just that Sun Yi's heart is not a taste, and the Chinese young player with a depressed expression secretly thought to himself. Big brother, you're only four years older than me, don't be like your junior.

There is not much suspense about the outcome of this game, and the inside line composed of Ilgoskas, Ben Wallace, and Vallejo is both sophisticated, tough, and cunning. In the game, completely will be David. Lee, Milicic and Harrington's Knicks inside the line. Coupled with James' unsparing impact, the two sides invariably replaced the main lineup halfway through the fourth quarter, announcing that the game entered garbage time.

Actually, Cavaliers on the guard line of Delonte. West and Morris. Williams, in front of Sun Yi and BIGQ, can't get the slightest bargain.

The Knicks backcourt duo scored 27 and 22 points respectively, but the rest of their teammates didn't play well, and the New York Giants suffered their 10th loss of the season.

……

A day later, in a game against another Eastern powerhouse, the Detroit Pistons, Sun Yi finally met Allen, whom he had admired for a long time. Iverson.

The leader of the '96 Golden Generation just settled in Detroit, the city of automobiles, in a deal between the Pistons and Nuggets earlier this month. The 33-year-old 'Answer' has grown older this year, and the explosiveness of the once proud league has also declined significantly, but he still has not given up the pursuit of the championship.

Judging by the previous games, Iverson's maverick style and the Pistons, which emphasize teamwork, are completely incompatible. Even when he wasn't there, the team was better.

Before the start of the game, Sun Yi ran to the home team's bench very rarely, and paid tribute to this small defender loved by countless fans with a hug. The answer was to look at the rookie in the league who had recently become popular in front of him, and his eyes were full of envy. If I could be as young as he was......

There was nothing to say about the game itself, as the Pistons, who had eight players in double figures, comfortably beat the visitors' challenge 110-96.

As the champion of '01, the famous parallel champion in NBA history. Brown was the only one of the home team's starters who didn't pick up a point.

After only 11 minutes of fighting, Brown was defeated by head coach Michael Brown. Curry was firmly pressed to the bench.

Looks like I'm going to have to get my agent and the team management to have a good talk. The Pistons started center with a depressed expression on their faces, trying to control the anger in their hearts.

Kwamei, who signed a two-year, $8.1 million contract with the Pistons this summer. Brown was looking forward to a new life in the Motor City.

It's a pity that the reality is always so cruel. If it weren't for the old center Mike. Days has been injured lately, and I'm afraid he won't even be able to get those 11 minutes of playing time.

The best performer on the losing side of the Knicks was Harrington, the team's sixth man, who scored a team-high 25 points on 8-of-17 shooting. David. Lee finished with 17 points and 15 rebounds.

The Chinese teenager who got 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists has a significant decline in the state of the game compared with before.

……

When two of the league's best fast-break teams meet, can you imagine what the game will look like between them?

On November 29, 2008, the New York Knicks, playing at home, defeated the Golden State Warriors led by Nelson Sr. 138-125. There was no extra time, and it was the score between the two teams in 48 minutes.

The dazzling fast-break coordination and the high rhythm of the game made the home team fans who came to watch the game addicted. Although the Knicks' record this year is still poor, discerning New York fans rarely show their unwavering support for the team. Not only because of the passionate performance of the Chinese guy, but also because of the team's gorgeous and smooth cooperation. Of course, it would be perfect if you could win regularly on top of playing good games.

David, who has been in excellent form lately. Lee and Harrington scored 37 and 36 points respectively in this scoring feast. Milicic, Chandler and Richardson were not far behind, scoring more than 15 points.

Chinese teenager Sun Yi was the lowest-scoring player among starters in a rare manner, with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 16 assists. Thanks to his career-high 16 assists, he diverted the attention of the media. Otherwise, two consecutive games with less than 20 points will definitely be used by some people with ulterior motives.

……

December 2, 2008, U.S. time, before the start of the game between the Knicks and the Portland Trail Blazers at home. The staff of the league awarded the trophy of the best rookie of the month in the east to Chinese teenager Sun Yi.

25 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, this is the average data of the Knicks Scout Show in the past 13 games. If it weren't for the team's poor record, he would even have a chance to compete with James for the Player of the Month award.

The Rookie of the Year in the West was won by O.J. Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies, who averaged 18 points per game and narrowly defeated Eric Gordon of the Clippers.

After more than a month of competition in the new season, judging from the performance of this year's rookies, it is indeed the best overall quality in recent years. Like the champion show Derek. Although Rose missed out on the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Year in November, his upward momentum is very obvious, averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

Mike, the eye-catcher who broke the marijuana scandal. Beasley, whose performance with the Heat was well below expectations, still averaged 15 points per game in his limited playing time.

Russell, a Long Beach guy who regained the trust of his teammates with his performance. Westbrook now has 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Kevin of the Timberwolves. Love, Augustine of the Bobcats, Lopez of the Nets, Jason of the Kings. Thompson and the Heat's Money-Moss both averaged double-doubles in points per game.

Given the Chinese rookie who stands out from the crowd of newcomers in the league, many bookmakers have stopped betting on this year's Rookie of the Year. The advantage is too great, there is almost no suspense.

Sun Yi, who had not scored 20 points in two consecutive games, finally won the game in Steve. Blake's head was cut to 22 points, five rebounds and 13 assists.

However, just a half-crippled Greg. Oden and Plasbill, just let the Knicks have no height advantage on the inside.

The two teams were deadlocked in a stalemate and were defeated in the second half of the fourth quarter by Huang Mamba Brandon. Roy and Spanish killer Rudy. Fernand teamed up to take it away.

97-104, the Knicks lost to the Trail Blazers at home.

In the final moments of the game, the Knicks No. 8 has been trying to help the team in various ways. Unfortunately, the heavy pace made him lose his previous agile breakthrough, and the poor feel made him miss countless goals. The Chinese youngster, who looked very struggling on the court, has entered the rookie wall early.

……

A day later, the Knicks lost 82-118 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Sun Yi, who got 8 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, experienced the feeling of not scoring doubles for the first time.

On December 5, back-to-back away challenges against the Atlanta Hawks, Tanhuaxiu had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. The Knicks, who lost 95-98 to their opponents, continued their losing streak.

Two days later, the New York Giants, who returned to their home court, defeated the Detroit Pistons who were at odds in the locker room with all five starters in double figures.

Sun Yi had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, captain BIGQ had 23 points, Chandler had 17 points, Milicic had 12 points, and Harrington had 15 points.

After this game, the Pistons completely put two new players who joined the team this year into the cold palace. Brown.

On December 9, the return to the Windy City Chicago against the Bulls was a long-awaited revenge battle for Chinese rookies. In the face of the treacherous Bulls management at the time, the No. 8 Knicks player who was not in great form was like forcibly injecting himself with a stimulant.

After many years, when Sun Yi re-stepped on the venue of the United Center in Chicago, his mood was completely different. Once upon a time, how this Chinese basketball teenager wished to fight side by side with those great jerseys hanging in the air. Moreover, he is really only one step away from this basketball temple.

"Dude!"

Derek. Rose, as the current owner of the field, greeted his Chinese friends before the game with great grace.

After a short hug, Sun Yi carefully looked at the Inglewood guy who had known him for many years. The sincere look on Rose's face radiated with confidence. Since the draft, Sun Yi has not seen this sharp guy for more than half a year.

"Windy City Rose, how are you going to entertain your friends!"

"If the Bulls win, I'll invite you to my house!"

"Haha, forget it. I invite you! ”

"Oh, yes! Aren't you going to check out your old friends here after the game? ”

The 'old friend' in the other party's words, not surprisingly, should be Jenny. Ford.

"How's she doing?"

"You'd better ask her yourself, but I can tell you that she's safe now."

"Oh, that's good! Next time, you know we're going to New Jersey tomorrow. ”

"Well, okay. Good luck! ”

"That's up to me!"

……

Looking at the lineups of both teams, the Bulls have a slight advantage and they are now winning three more games than the Knicks. The only downside is that the team's big man Hinrich missed the game due to injury.

Head coach Vinnie. Under pressure from the management, De Nagro managed to pick out a starting lineup that looked good from the squad full of injured soldiers: Derrick. Rose, Ben. Gordon, Rohr. Deng, Drew. Gooden, Aron. Gray. Larry. Hughes, Nocioni and Joaquin. Noah was on standby on the bench.

The Knicks continued the starting lineup of the previous games, Sun Yi, Richardson, Chandler, Milicic, David. Plum.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks, who had a strong desire to attack, hit a difficult three-point shot on the head of the Bulls' top pick.

However, the calm Windy City Rose does not seem to be ready to fight back with a score, but patiently guides the home team's offensive organization. Because Rose knows very well that with his current scoring ability and that guy is definitely looking for death, Westbrook is the best example of this.

The Bulls' champion, who regards the team's victory as their highest basketball philosophy, does not count the momentary gains and losses in terms of statistics.

Many media reporters who hurried before the game, after seeing the two without fire, couldn't help but scold Rose in their hearts for being a soft egg and embarrassing the Emirakens.

The Bulls, who played a more traditional style of play, played in the young rookie Derrick. Ross's organization is playing with a clear eye. Every player who comes on the pitch can contribute to the team.

On the Knicks' side, except for the fast break when the offense and defense are switched, most of the offense relies on individual ability. Today, in addition to the Chinese youngsters with a strong desire to attack, another one who played well was Al. Harrington.

Positioned by D'Antoni as the team's sixth man, he averaged 16 points and 6 rebounds in 30 minutes per game. The No. 3 and No. 4 swing man who was not liked by Sun Yi became the second scorer in the Knicks.

Harrington, who had a very good hand today, scored 22 points on 10-of-16 shooting before the start of the fourth quarter. After a short break, he appeared again and became Sun Yi's most effective helper.

With Rose focusing most of his energy on his friends, the Knicks Chinese teenager wasn't very efficient today. Especially in the last 5 minutes of the game, when the scores between the two sides were the most anxious, they hit the iron again and again.

When present. After Gordon hit a crucial three-pointer to overtake the score, Bulls head coach De Nagro off the court saw the light of day for his team's victory.

Swish! Harrington's unreasonable three-pointer threw cold water on the heads of the excited home fans. In the end, Harrington, who has always been regarded as a cancer player by Sun Yi, scored 8 points in a row to save the Chinese guy's revenge battle.

105 to 97! The Knicks' No. 8 rookie finished with 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists on 8-of-18 shooting after two consecutive games of poor form.

When he said goodbye to his friend who had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, and was about to walk to the players' tunnel, he saw a touching scene.

There was a group of fans wearing the red jersey that Sun Yi was familiar with, yes, it was the jersey of the Timotai High School Trojans.

It seems that the fans in Chicago have not forgotten themselves! (To be continued.) )
