Chapter 077 Rookie of the Week

Liang Xiao returned to the apartment, and the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, but he didn't have to worry about it now, it didn't mean that he wouldn't have to worry about it in the future. It's just that Li Shengnan didn't pursue it now. I didn't expect Li Shengnan, a usually competitive person, just like his name, to choose to be silent when he encountered such a thing.

In fact, Li Shengnan really has no good way to solve this problem, and he is also a newcomer, although he is competitive on weekdays, he can't fight in this matter, and he can't say that he was taken advantage of by Liang Xiao to take advantage of it. Besides, Liang Xiao is only nineteen years old now, and he can't say that he is responsible, and Li Shengnan is also a good-hearted person, so this matter can only be over.

After returning to the apartment, Liang Xiao changed his clothes, and between last night's staggering, his clothes also indirectly drank a lot of wine. I immediately went to the Knicks' training gym for training, and before that, I also had some nutritious meals in the team's restaurant, and I didn't eat and drink all night, and my stomach was a little uncomfortable.

Not everyone in the arena is here, because the game was only played last night, and today is supposed to be a break time, but everyone in the Knicks is very diligent now, and most of the players are training, although the game is a little tiring, but they still carry out some basic training, and they will not over-consume their physical energy.

Many of the main players are a habit that has been cultivated all year round, and the substitute players have formed an invisible competition in several games during this time. Seeing Liang Xiao get Van Gundy's trust in every game, stable playing time, and stable scoring, this makes draft players like Williams also have a sense of momentum in their hearts.

The Knicks won their first three games, especially against the Pistons in Game 1, which was somewhat unexpected by fans. In the eyes of the media and some commentators, the Pistons are the top team in the East this year, and the Knicks are likely not to make the playoffs.

Of course, this is in the case of an injury to the Knicks' new big man McDyce.

Before the start of the season, the Knicks began to be rated very highly in the scouting report of ESPN data expert John Hollinger, and under the leadership of the "two-gun combination", with the addition of McDyce, the "three guns" can be formed, and the Knicks' team ranking even ranked in the top five in the East at one point. But when the Knicks announced that McDyce was injured and the season was reimbursed, the Knicks' team ranking immediately dropped, because it can be said that the Knicks have no reinforcements to be eyed by these experts this season.

Now the Knicks' three victories seem to be telling these experts that your analysis is always so unreliable. This is based on the overall performance of the Knicks, and now Liang Xiao has come out as a dark horse for the Knicks, averaging 16 points per game after three games. This also surprised those data analysts.

The three consecutive wins at the beginning of the game, after Ewing's withdrawal in the past two years, the Knicks are off to a very good start, which cannot but be said to have a lot of luck during this period. Liang Xiao remembers that the Knicks in his previous life were not so good in the 20-03 season. It's really because the Knicks' results are so poor that they didn't even catch up with the playoffs in the end, so they can only let this team that once dominated the league continue to decline, until the "melon" Anthony and the "little bully" Stoudemire came to New York, and the Knicks' state can be regarded as squeezing into the ranks of the giants again.

When Liang Xiao and Sprewell were training, Sprewell smiled at Liang Xiao and said, "Hey, why are you listless, didn't you go last night, it's no wonder, you are the rookie of the week in the East now, you will be excited to anyone, and I was also very excited at that time." But oh, young people should pay attention to their bodies! Then he approached Liang Xiao and asked in a low voice, "Was it 3-p or 4-p last night, I saw that you were going to be blown up?" ”

Liang Xiao heard Sprewell say that he was the rookie of the week, and he was overjoyed, and finally someone recognized him, indicating that he had also gained a firm foothold here. But when I heard Sprewell say that it was a few p's last night, several black lines suddenly flowed from my head.

"Rookie of the Week? Where did you see it, why didn't I see it? Liang asked Sprewell. From last night's drinking and drunkenness to now, Liang Xiao has not gotten any news from the outside world, it seems that this wine is not a good thing, but after thinking about it, it seems to be a good thing, otherwise how could he be like Li Shengnan last night, that is, he ended his debut career without tasting the taste.

"Don't you read the newspaper and TV? And today's best of the week will have a notification from you, don't say you didn't receive it? Sprewell said.

But Liang Xiao really didn't say anything, today is a routine break, the Knicks' senior management did not come to work, the players are all spontaneous training, Liang Xiao thought that it may not be until tomorrow to receive the results.

Rookie of the Week, I really didn't expect that I could get such an honor, although the honor is a little laughing, if it is the best rookie of the season, it will be perfect, Liang Xiao thought in his heart, a little long. But it's really not good to say, first of all, the new players in the draft in the entire league are not strong in the East, the strongest is Caron Butler, and Carlos Boozer selected by the Cavaliers shit, and the strong players are mainly concentrated in the draft in the West, such as Yao Ming, and Stoudemire, who got the best rookie in this season, as well as Ginobili of the Spurs and Gooden of the Grizzlies. This is who called the current eastern teams stronger than the western teams, which makes the eastern teams not have a good lotto.

In terms of the current team strength, the Knicks are stronger than the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, and the Knicks' three-game winning streak also indirectly helped Liang Xiao win the Rookie of the Week.

But what Liang Xiao doesn't know now is the huge wave caused by such a result in the league, the huge wave caused by fans in the United States and at home.

New York's big win over the arch-rivals Heat in last night's game made many New York media recognize the Knicks' Chinese kid. Today's newspapers can be seen everywhere on the streets of New York.

The New York Times, one of the largest newspapers in the United States, did not publish the Knicks' game on the front page, but it gave a comprehensive report on Liang Xiao in the sports section, saying that Liang Xiao was the mascot that brought good luck to the Knicks, just like the Chinese panda, so that the Knicks got off to a good start in these three games.

"New York Today" reported on Liang Xiao mainly focused on the interview last night, praising Liang Xiao's modesty and courtesy, saying that Liang Xiao knows how to repay his kindness without a tattoo, and these media have a good impression of such a person.

There are also many media such as "New York Daily", "Today's News", "New York Daily News" and many other media have reported on Liang Xiao, for the vitriol New York media, Liang Xiao got praise this time, I don't know if Liang Xiao was praised for his efforts in the process of fighting against the sworn enemy Heat, and it was really Liang Xiao's humility and politeness that made them like it. But none of this matters, the important thing is that Liang Xiao is now known by more and more American fans.

The rookie of the week rookie list was also announced on the Internet, and many fans gathered in front of the computer screen to discuss this rookie of the week.

"Hey, Mike, come and see, do you know this guy?" In the dormitory of Meiyi University, an otaku stared at Liang Xiao's picture and said.

"Oh, Jim, it looks like you haven't been out in a long time, this guy is called Liang Xiao, he's from China, and now he's playing as a backup on the Knicks quarterback!" This one called Mike said.

"Then you mean to be a substitute for Houston, then this guy's stats are too scary. In 18.7 minutes per game, he scored 16.5 points, and his shooting percentage was also high, 58.6%, which means that two goals must be scored. Jim screamed. I'm going to the Knicks to watch the game, and I'm going to play tomorrow, it's so exciting. ”

As a fan, Jim, although he hasn't been out of campus for a long time, can see the game on online TV, and it just so happened that he had some delays a few days ago, and he didn't see last night's Knicks vs. Heat game.

In the United States, there are many fans who are not familiar with Liang Xiao who are amazed at what kind of person Liang Xiao is, there is such terrifying data, and they want to know what Liang Xiao really looks like.

It was more than 11 o'clock in the evening in China, and the major media had already passed the best reporting time, but Liang Xiao's achievements had begun to spread wildly on the Internet, and some things about Liang Xiao were dug up, especially in Zuo Qiang's dormitory, Liang Xiao was more interested in them, and everyone wanted to have a celebrity friend, which was also very attractive to these students in college.

Li Shengnan, a reporter from "Sports Weekly", began to make some revisions to Liang Xiao's interview when he returned to his residence in the morning, although he was a little unwell after an oolong incident with Liang Xiao last night, but when he thought about it, he felt a little angry and a little ambiguous. When I was writing, I unconsciously favored Liang and laughed, and tried to beautify Liang Xiao.

I believe that as soon as the new issue of "Sports Weekly" comes out tomorrow morning, the sales of the newspaper will continue to rise with Liang Xiao's popularity, and its circulation will increase to meet the demand, after all, they are the first domestic media to interview Liang Xiao in person.
