Chapter 108: The Best Rookie Contest (for the addition of 7,000 recommended votes)

After playing the Celtics, the Bucks took advantage of this momentum to win five games in a row, surpassing the Raptors in sixth place in one fell swoop and becoming the new sixth in the East.

With seven games left in the regular season and five wins ahead of the ninth-place Pacers, the Bucks are all but assured of a playoff spot.

After a year, the Bucks are making the playoffs again, which is definitely good news for Milwaukee fans.

Of course, the biggest good news this season is the harvest of Yi Jianlian, a newcomer with unlimited potential.

In the six-game winning streak, Yi Jianlian's statistics are still very bright, averaging 22.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and he is undoubtedly winning the Rookie of the Week for a second time, and he is also seeing that the Rookie of the East in March is about to enter his pocket.

That's the Rookie of the Month 3 in a row!

This also means that since entering '08, Yi Jianlian has not conceded the Eastern Rookie of the Month to anyone else.

Clearly, this is a manifestation of dominance.

Yi Jianlian perfectly dominated the rookie list of the class of '07.

"The best rookie must belong to Yi!"

"Needless to say? The team's record and the undoubted data speak for themselves! ”

"I also believe that this will definitely become a fact!"

Milwaukee's die-hard loyalists have begun to treat Yi Jianlian as the best rookie in the 07.08 season, and it is no wonder that they are so anxious, in the history of the Bucks, the last "best rookie award" that belonged to them has to be traced back to 1969 "Tiangou" Abdul-Jabbar, since him, in the long 38 years, the Bucks have not had a best rookie.

They need someone to break this embarrassing record.

Yi Jianlian is the person closest to this goal after "Tiangou" Abdul-Jabbar, especially now, Yi Jianlian's average points per game have risen back to 21.3 points after a month and a half of hard work, surpassing Durant again to become the first in the rookie scoring list.

If you compare other data, it is only high, not low, and it is reasonable to say that this "best rookie" should also be Yi Jianlian.

"What's the hurry? It's not the end of the season yet! Who knows if you can make the playoffs, if the two All-Stars can't make the playoffs, then it's really laughing, and what face is there to compete with Kevin for the best rookie? ”

There are fans of the SuperSonics team who still don't admit defeat, in their opinion, the NBA has no history of Chinese players being elected as the best rookie, this is a historical problem, and it may not be so simple to break it, especially at present, there is no particularly big gap between Durant and Yi Jianlian from the data point of view.

"That's right! With Michael's help, what's so great about getting into the playoffs, it depends on the performance of these two teams when they play against each other, and the performance of these two players can decide the winner! ”

seems to be waiting for the first rhythmic one to stand up, and there are more and more fans who disagree with Yi Jianlian becoming the "best rookie".

What Charlotte fans, what Celtics fans, and naturally SuperSonics fans. Well, think about it carefully, this season, the Bucks and Yi Jianlian have really a lot of enemies!

These people all ran out, and the suspense of shouting "best rookie" at this critical time had to be saved to the end.

"Anyway, the Bucks have one more game against the SuperSonics, and I think this game will determine the final Rookie of the Year! As long as Kevin plays well, he can definitely win the best rookie! ”

The "big mouth" Barkley, who has not been seen for a long time, stood up at this time, and his words were also affirmed by many American fans and praised one after another.

The whole thing was naturally edited into a report by Huaxia Media and sent back to China, but Huaxia fans are very optimistic:

"Hahahaha, Barkley said that? That's stable, everything that comes out of this stinky mouth is the opposite, don't worry about it anymore! ”

"I think he just wants to kiss the donkey's butt, after so many years, I miss that smell a little!"

"Didn't say it, UAE, him, get the best rookie back!"

***

Three days later, the Bucks traveled to Seattle to take on the SuperSonics on the road.

They were greeted by tens of thousands of Seattle die-hards gathered at Key Arena, some holding taunting signs, others holding cheering props, and others booing loudly from the Bucks as soon as they entered the arena.

In short, every SuperSonics fan is doing their best to support Kevin Durant in the final victory in this rookie of the best game.

"Nervous? Easy! ”

After warming up and returning to the bench for final preparations, Michael Reed on the side suddenly asked, "Is there a burden?" ”

"Not at all!"

Yi Jianlian replied very calmly.

In fact, he didn't take the game seriously at all.

In other words, he really wants to win this game, but not to compete with Durant for some "best rookie".

In his opinion, as long as the league is fair, then the ultimate ownership of this best rookie will definitely be his, and the group of fans who are clamoring now are just having fun for themselves.

"Confident enough!" Michael Reid didn't continue, at first he thought Yi Jianlian was so silent because he was nervous, but now it seems that he was thinking too much about himself, and this thing didn't rest assured about it at all.

***

At the beginning of the game, it seemed to be encouraged by the SuperSonics fans, and Durant performed very eye-catching from the beginning, with a variety of domineering and unreasonable shots, leading the SuperSonics to lead the Bucks for a while.

To say that Durant's recent performance is indeed getting better and better, under the careful cultivation of the Supersonic team's training team, his strength, weight and the entire confrontation have made great progress, and the "hemp stick" figure that used to be swaying three times has gradually become explosive, coupled with the NBA's first-class offensive skills, the combination of the two is immediately different, Yi Jianlian won the best rookie of the month in the East at the same time, he also won the rookie of the month in the west.

This is also the reason why SuperSonics fans dare to shout!

It's a pity that Durant has improved this season, and Yi Jianlian has also improved this season, and the improvement is more obvious than him.

The starting power forward of the SuperSonics is Jeff Green, well, like Durant and Yi Jianlian, both are rookies in '07, and this guy is ranked 5th in the first round of '07.

Anji can replace Ray Allen from the SuperSonics, and one of the main chips is this brother!

But in today's game, he was ravaged by Yi Jianlian's various unilateral ways, the kind that was hung up and played.

From the point of view of the dominance and cruelty of the counterpoint, Yi Jianlian is better than Durant, and more importantly, the Bucks completed the reversal in the last minutes of the game and won the final victory, completing the double kill against the Seattle SuperSonics this season!

Durant played 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, while Yi Jianlian had 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

Except for the shooting percentage that is a little bit worse, every major stat is a little higher than Durant's.

You say it's not annoying.

But this is also very similar to the comparison between Durant and Yi Jianlian this season, Yi Jianlian did not completely crush Durant's performance, which is also the reason why the "best rookie" is still controversial, but he will always be a little better than Durant.

Of course, there is a precondition here, which is that the group of reporters who voted in the final vote turned a blind eye to Yi Jianlian's 10 percent higher hit rate.

Maybe the final win will be won by that point!

"After this game, if the best rookie in the class of '07 still needs to be argued, it will be the biggest injustice to Yi Jianlian!"

As soon as the results of the game came out, Max Pierce quickly found the tweet he had posted before, retweeted it, and added: "How long will it be argued?" Please be respectful! ”
