Chapter 72: Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week

"Who would have thought?"

"Lotto show team Suns beat championship favorites Thunder?"

"Diamond Generation?"

After beating the Thunder at home on Nov. 3, 2013, the Suns were finally able to skip the plane and go back and forth, and they could play the Pelicans at home. Li Mojie did a regular workout, and then began to browse the news, and then saw his cover appear on ESPN Sports News Network, super rookie Mo Jie. Lee, the second rookie in NBA history, swept the Rookie of the Week and Player of the Week positions. McCarvey is only the second rookie in history to win the Weekly Championship award in the first week of his career. It's unbelievable, is this still the 2013 rookie of the year of the draft that our scouts have previously given?

McCarvey became the second rookie in history to win the Weekly Championship award in the first week of his career after O'Neal "The Shark" in 1992. As the 11th overall pick in the 2013 draft, McCarvey helped the 76ers start a 3-0 campaign, including victories over the defending champion Heat and the Eastern Conference powerhouse Bulls. In the first three NBA regular season games of his career, McCarvey averaged 20.7 points, 9.0 assists and 4.3 steals per game, of which assists and steals ranked first on the team. On October 30, local time, in his first NBA game, McCarvey scored 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds to help the 76ers defeat the Heat 114-110 at home. Nine steals were the most in NBA history for a rookie debut, and his 12 assists were the second-highest in NBA history for his rookie debut, behind Ernie Gregorio in 1973, when he dished out 14 assists in his NBA debut.

Last season at Syracuse University, McCarvey (sophomore) averaged 12 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and three steals per game. Before the draft began, he made it clear that he wanted to be the top pick, but he was selected with the 11th pick in the first round.

"I try to prove that I should be the best in every game. After these games, I'm getting more and more confident about it. McCarvey said.

In addition, McCarvey is not just motivated not to be a top pick, for the past six years, he has been plastered by his bedside with a training camp report from a basketball review he attended before entering high school. The report predicts that McCarvey will never play at a prestigious school, such as Syracuse University. The report says that if McCarvey practices hard in the next few years, he may have a slight chance to play in a small academy.

Staring at the evaluation report, McCarvey eventually took himself to the prestigious Syracuse University and then to the NBA, but now he can no longer see the evaluation report, and in March of this year, a fire burned down both McCarvey's home and the evaluation report.

Senior brother Anthony is willing to hand over the baton.

McCarvey's performance made his college brother Carmelo Anthony proud, and Melon laughed in an interview that the title of "Syracuse University Player of All Time" was about to be snatched away by McCarvey.

Anthony, who led Syracuse to an NCAA championship, held a retirement ceremony for Anthony's jersey in the middle of last season. "I'm more than willing to give him the baton and he deserves it." Anthony said, "Any team that gets him is picking up a big bargain. ”

Even James, the league's No. 1 star, was impressed by McCarvey's performance. During a timeout in the opening game, James offered encouragement to McCarvey.

The U.S. media poured cold water on Jeremy Lin

The famous American basketball magazine "DIME" wrote an analysis of this: It is too early to predict that McCarvey will become a star player in the future.

The article points out that Jeremy Lin made a crazier storm last year than McCarvey, but now Jeremy Lin is just a qualified starter. The same can be said of McCarvey, who has shown exceptional quality and potential, but still has a lot to overcome, and it is too early to say that he is the cornerstone of the team and the All-Star level, and even the best rookie is not guaranteed.

The article also reminds that in the NCAA period, McCarvey can only be said to be talented, but not yet an All-Star player.

Jacques Lee beat fellow rookie McCarvey to become Rookie of the Week, and became the second rookie in history to win the Weekly Weekly award after O'Neal in 1992 after O'Neal "The Shark" in 1992. As the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft, Jacson-Lee helped the Suns get off to a 3-0 start, including victories over the Western Conference powerhouse Trail Blazers and last year's No. 1 Western Conference No. 1 Thunder. In the first three NBA regular season games of his career, Jay Lee averaged 25.3 points, 7.3 assists and 7 rebounds per game, of which scoring and assists ranked first on the team. On October 30, local time, in his first NBA game, Jay Lee scored 25 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds to help the Suns defeat the Trail Blazers 104-97 on the road. Let's witness the birth of a legendary record, the youngest triple-double record in the NBA league, set by the Suns' champion show Li Mojie, who broke the record of 20 years and 20 days James at the age of 19 years and 125 days, becoming the youngest triple-double king in the NBA!

His brother DeRozan also praised: "It's unbelievable, you know? He made his debut a triple-double and his performance was perfect, and when you see his game, it's hard to imagine that he's the rookie of the year, I mean his composure and big-picture view is impressive! ”

The U.S. media also poured cold water on Evans.

The famous American basketball magazine "DIME" wrote an analysis on this: It is too early to predict that Mojie Lee will become a star player in the future.

The article pointed out that Evans's performance back then was not much weaker than that of Mojay Lee, but now Evans has not grown to the heights that people expect. The same is true for Jacques Lee, whether he is the new Magic who Suns fans are hoping to lead the Suns back on the rise, we still need time to judge, maybe he will be the next James in two or three seasons, but maybe he is the same player as Evans.

Here's how McCarvey and Jeffrey Lee performed last week:

Best Player in the East: McCarvey, 76ers

On October 30, he VS the Heat, scored 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds to help the 76ers win 114-110 over the Heat.

Nov. 1 vs. Wizards, 14 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, the 76ers defeated the Wizards 109-102 away.

Nov. 2 vs. Bulls, contributing a double-double (26 points and 10 assists) to help the 76ers beat the Bulls 107-104 at home.

Rookie of the Week, Western Conference Player: Jay Lee, Suns

On October 30, VS Trail Blazers, got 25 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and made a triple-double in his debut, breaking James' record and becoming the youngest triple-double king in the NBA, and the Suns also defeated the Trail Blazers 104-97 on the road.

Nov. 1 vs. Jazz, 22 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, the Suns defeated the tenacious Jazz 90-84 on the road.

VS Thunder on November 3, contributed 29 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and helped the Suns beat the Thunder 109-103 at home when they were not favored.

The other nominees for last week's Eastern Conference Player of the Year are: Aaron Afflaro of the Magic, LaMarcus Aldridge of the Trail Blazers, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves, Anthony Davis of the Pelicans, Kevin Durant of the Thunder, Paul George of the Pacers, Greg Monroe of the Pistons, and Chris Paul of the Clippers.

This year is considered a small year for the draft, and the best rookie should not be much to watch, and in the three games before that, Bennett's performance was: 0-of-5 shooting in the first game against the Nets (relying on free throws to score 2 points alone), 0-of-3 shooting in the second game against the Bobcats, and 0-of-4 shooting in the third game against the Pacers. In the first four games of his career, he shot 0-of-15 and scored only 2 points. This is the lowest score in the first four games of the first four games since the 1966 draft. The previous lowest was China's Yao Ming, who scored 10 points in four games. Not only that, but Anthony Bennett is also the first player in league history to not score in more than one game, and before that, Oden, Yao Ming and Doug Collins, who did not score in their first game, all scored in their second game of their careers. And Alto Porter, who was the fourth pick, didn't even get a minute of playing time. But the emergence of Jacques Lee and McCarvey has added a lot of excitement to this rookie class, and no one dares to make predictions easily now, because the rookie performances of these two players are so shocking.

"Is this McCarvey so strong now? Sure enough, it's the rookie and the pinnacle, but this guy actually said that he is worthy of the top show, hehe, when I meet you, I'll let Bledsoe kill you! Also Is Alto Porter so miserable now? Anyway, he is also the No. 4 rookie, and now he hasn't even fished out a minute of playing time after three games, which is even worse than Milicic back then! I expected Bennett, he probably won't be on par with Olavokandi in his life, but he will definitely be involved with Milicic, right? Li Mojie swiped the mouse and muttered to himself.

"Hey, where is Brother Alphabet? Doesn't this guy have any news? Sure enough, isn't it time for him to exert his strength? Li Mojie continued to browse the news, and suddenly his rice phone rang, "Hey, hello, who is it?" ”

"Uh, I'm Abby, a reporter for Fox Sports." A slightly hesitant female voice came from the phone.

"Oh, it's the coach's baby daughter, is there anything you want me to do?" Li Mojie rolled his eyes and said in a frivolous tone.

"Uh, well, we at Fox Sports would like to do an interview with you and congratulate you on being Rookie of the Week and Western Conference Player of the Week, do you have time?" Abby was immediately angry when she heard Li Mojie's tone, but she still held back.

"Ah, no, you know, I'm a person who is hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, very busy, I don't have much time." Li Mojie poured himself a glass of water leisurely and said.

"You lie, I'm outside your house, why did I see you outside the villa." Abby stood outside the villa and looked at Li Mojie, who had Erlang's legs crossed inside the transparent glass window, and said through gritted teeth. This person is so annoying!

"Ah, you're looking at the wrong person, it's not me in my villa, I'll shoot an advertisement now." Li Mojie didn't blink his eyes, and pulled up the curtains.

"You ......" so angry, Abby is now eager to rush in and take this kid out and beat him.

"I want to drink milk tea from the bubble tea shop at 104 Rock Street in Phoenix right now, you know, every time I go there there there are a lot of queues, and I don't have much time, if someone is willing to buy it for me, I'll be happy, and the commercial will be done quickly." Li Mojie put his legs on the table, his mobile phone clipped to his shoulder, and said word by word with his fingernails trimmed.

"There are a lot of people there every day, you grudge guy, I ......" Abby was about to say something, but he didn't expect Li Mojie to spit out a few more words.

"It's 10 o'clock in the morning, you know, and I'm going to train at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so I'm going to take a nap at noon, and if you don't go, you won't be able to catch up."

"Okay, I'll go!"

"The last GO word is too heavy."

"You have to take care of it!"
