Chapter 172: Best of the Week and Best of the Month

The league was shocked again, and Li Dong came from behind, and his blowout performance made him a well-deserved No. 1 in the class of 2015. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

What is the concept of averaging 20.7 points per game? In the NBA, the average score of the average offensive starter is about 10 to 15 points per game, and those who can score 15 to 20 points are basically an important firepower point in the team, and once a player scores more than 20 points, it proves that the player is at least a quasi-All-Star level.

What is a would-be All-Star? Regardless of whether the image and playing style are beautiful, once the team's results go up, the prospective All-Star players will turn positive in minutes.

And Li Dong is not yet twenty years old......

At that time, LeBron James was the pride of the sky, and he came to the league with various halos, and his performance was also struggling at the beginning, and LeBron James's rookie season cut 40+, which was also in March 04, when James had played most of the season.

A person like Li Dong who played a total of 14 games, counting about 20 preseason games, can surpass the vast majority of NBA players and get high scores that they may not have scored in their entire career, which is really rare in history.

So he naturally became the hottest rookie in the entire league, and he was in the limelight for a while.

The scouting reports of each team have changed again and again, from a rookie with amazing physical fitness, to a high-potential shooter-type player, and now to a super rookie with a top scorer, his name jumped out of this rookie, and suddenly he was ahead of the top Towns, Tanhua Russell and others, and people began to compare his performance to the amazing rookie seasons of some of the superstars in history, such as Jordan, such as James.

"He's a very smart player, he's got a great dribble, he's shooting accurately, he's playing phenomenally." Andrew Wiggins, who is an opponent and college senior, was also full of praise for Li Dong during the post-match media conference.

In China, Li Dong became the most talked about topic overnight in the age group of 15 to 35, and countless high school and college students fell madly in love with him, and his flowing playing posture and distinctive blood advantage made his fan base in the motherland growing day by day.

Yao Ming has long since retired, Yi Jianlian has returned to play in the CBA, one thing that should have made fans in other Asian countries happy happened to meet Li Dong's most popular performance, which made Asian fans have complex emotions, on the one hand, Li Dong is an outside player, occasionally wonderful and violent dunks, and his playing style is good-looking, which is the pride of the whole Asia, on the other hand, Li Dong is so powerful, when China forms a new round of national team, where is there still their country's drama?

The growing fame has also brought a lot of economic benefits, Li Dong's Magic No. 1 jersey was sold out of stock in just a few days, and the marketing volume of the Orlando Magic's official commemorative merchandise hall has shown explosive growth.

In addition, as Li Dong's agent Joe Thomas officially fell into pain and happiness, Chinese merchants who did not know the jet lag often quoted endorsement contracts with him in broken English in the middle of the night, and he stayed up with dark circles and nervous breakdowns for several days in a row. Joe Thomas pondered whether it was time to form a team of agents, so that no matter how much money he made, he would not have a chance to spend it.

At this time, Li Dong had been repairing in Orlando for two days, and once again embarked on the road to conquer other stadiums.

This time, the opponent was the Miami Heat next door, and the "unknown" Justis Winslow was selected in the draft, which almost broke down the Heat fans.

It's just unexpected that after the start of the season, the combination of rookies Justis Winslow and Tyler Johnson was eye-catching, especially Justis Winslow, his offensive options are very mature, he behaves like a 30-year-old ball skin on the court, and acts as a defensive gate in the bench lineup, winning the hearts of coach Eric Spoelstra all of a sudden, playing longer and more opportunities.

So far, Winslow is averaging 12.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game and has managed to squeeze out Lul Deng as the team's starting small forward.

The handsome young man is proud of the spring breeze, and he is very popular in Miami, and his girlfriend is changing like a horselight.

The arrival of the Magic has brought the two current rookie No. 1 and No. 5 rookies into a direct conversation, and the media have written articles to promote the game - "King Fight in the Next Five Years?" 》

When he was in college, Li Dong's good brother Kelly Oubre was particularly unhappy with Winslow, and at that time, even the invincible Li Dong also suffered from Winslow.

But this time, Li Dong is not the young Kelly Oubre, but the league's first-class backcourt defensive gate - Oladipo!

Winslow found Li Dong before the game and expressed how to admire the hero's demeanor and other soft words, his expression was sincere, and he could get full marks.

However, in the middle of the game, he found that these words were useless to Li Dong.

It turned out that in the Magic's offense, the highest proportion of ball-holding offense was Oladipo, followed by Vucevic, and finally it was Li Dong's turn, and after the last game, Skiles did not say that he would continue to extend the tactics of the last game, nor did he specifically draw out Li Dong's privileges, but in the offensive proportion, the players' hearts naturally changed, and Oladipo also intended to give more ball-holding opportunities to Li Dong, and he was happy to defend.

This wordless change is the best embodiment of Li Dong's strength proof, even in the face of Dwyane Wade, a scoring guard who is good at both offense and defense, perhaps because of the Flash's age, Li Dong's offense does not seem to fall behind.

In the first quarter of the game, Li Dongli scored 14 points, including 6 free throws, all of which were hit.

Justis Winslow struggled under Oladipo's blockade and awkwardly collected a duck egg on 0-of-2 shooting in the first quarter. The reporters sitting on the sidelines held their glasses and wrote in their notebooks the manuscripts they were going to use today--Li Dong finished blowing Winslow, and the first rookie won completely!

The Heat team as a whole was naturally suppressed, and Goran Dragic was in front of the young Payton, and he didn't see the shadow of Nash Jr. back then, and he was in a mess.

At the end of the game, the Heat lost by 21 points 78-99, and only three players scored in double figures, including Whiteside, who scored 25 points. On the Magic side, there were 6 double-doubles, and Li Dong scored the highest 29 points and was named the MVP of the game.

Poor Winslow only scored 4 points under Oladipo's defense, and was immediately blackened by the media after the game.

After the game, Li Dong was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week, averaging 35.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game to lead the team to defeats the Jazz, Nuggets and Heat, respectively.

This is the first time Li Dong has won the Player of the Week award, and before the subsequent home game against the Raptors, the team also made him happy with a simple award ceremony.

It's just surprising that in this game with the Raptors, the Magic actually lost the game.

As soon as Li Dong won the award of the Week, he was very embarrassed to have a bad hand, and in the whole game, he made four shots from the outside, none of which hit, but barely scored 11 double-digit points with free throws and layups.

After the game, some media joked that this was the curse of the week.

Just when Li Dong was stirring the world upside down in the east, the young wolf in the west finally broke out unwilling to be lonely.

On Dec. 17, Towns scored 25 points and 10 rebounds against the Knicks, and he showed the art of center with his basket skills.

The rookie list is finally no longer a stand-alone situation, Li Dong lost to the Raptors and lost to the Celtics, and only scored 10 points in the whole game, so after this game, Towns fought back gorgeously and jumped to the first place in the rookie list.

This whole month of December is a big drama with ups and downs, from the beginning of Winslow and Porzingis outbreaks, to the domineering of Li Dong in the middle of the season, to the Tiger of Downs in the second half of the year, people realize that this is an extraordinary rookie, and the words of the 7-year reincarnation that someone said at the beginning of the month are comparable to the words of the platinum generation, which seems to be a bit unpredictable at the moment.

Not surprisingly, the Western Conference's Rookie of the Month award went to Towns, who averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds per game as a rookie and ranked third in 52 percent shooting.

The competition for the rookie of the month in the East was fierce, and it was still awarded to Li Dong, who averaged 19.8 points per game, because Li Dong's average of 32.7 minutes per game was only fifth among rookies, lower than Okafor and Winslow, with a shooting rate of 49.7 percent and a three-point shooting rate of 38.9 percent, which is definitely a high production for an outside player.
