Chapter 706: Chaotic First Man Battle
"Hey, Dwyan, what are you thinking? Focus, Chris, it's time to cover for him, timing, timing"
Now the United States has entered December, and at this time, Boston has entered the cold time after late autumn, so at this time, many outdoor games in Boston that can be affected by the weather have begun to end, such as the major league baseball that ended not long ago, and finally the Boston Red Sox failed in the finals, and unfortunately did not win the championship and unfortunately failed to follow the footsteps of the Boston Celtics.
Of course, even if the Boston Red Sox can win the championship in the end, it is impossible for this team to regain the same level as the Boston Celtics with this championship, after all, the championship is very important for professional sports, but there is another equally important thing in addition to the championship, such as the sense of belonging to the team, The Boston Celtics' current players have been drafted themselves or slowly developed from a young age, and this success can make fans feel more involved.
After all, watching these players grow from a rookie to a king, the relationship between such fans and the team is definitely not comparable to the championship built up by money, of course, perhaps for many Boston locals, no matter what, they are the happiest group of sports fans in the United States in recent years, after 20 years of silence in all aspects. made his voice again, and such a voice was deafening as soon as it appeared, for example, just like the just-concluded NBA game in November, the Boston Celtics' star Maddie won the best of the month and the first in the MVP rankings, which is also the first time in two years that Maddie won both honors again, but the year before last, he obviously just played a soy sauce. And he himself was burdened by such an honor, and in the end he quickly lost all this, so at that time, Maddie did not have his own prestige and did not have the confidence to speak out.
Only this time, the Boston Celtics' dominant player is noticeably different after carrying last season's Finals MVP. Of course, under Maddy's strong voice this time, the Boston Celtics have another player who also made his voice to all fans in the league and the NBA, although the voice is a little weak, but it is loud enough, and the voice is naturally the Boston Celtics' No. 3 pick Wade this year, the Boston Celtics bench guard beat the Hawks' new outside leader LeBron James won the second place in the Eastern Rookie of the Month and Rookie of the Month list, It can be said that he has established his status as not a parallel rookie in one fell swoop, you know. Before the start of the season. Almost all the media and experts consider him a parallel import.
Of course, the parallel goods mentioned here do not mean that he is not strong, Wade is powerful, but his strength is absolutely impossible to enter the top three, because TJ Ford, who is in fourth place, is better than him in any aspect. In the future, Milicic and Boscinrich are also better than him, in this case, his ability to be in the third position is indeed considered by many people to be a very parallel decision of Zhuang Fei.
It's just that judging from the performance of the first month, the Boston Celtics, known as a parallel trade, have delivered an average of 21.5 points per game and 4.8 assists per game that surprised everyone, which is much better than those experts who say can crush Wade TJ Ford in all aspects. Ford was only able to average 12 points and 6.5 assists per game this season when he was directly promoted to boss by Suns head coach McBrown, although such statistics are good enough for a rookie No. 1 position.
Of course, in addition to TJ Ford, several other players who are known as better than Wade, such as the Clippers' focus on cultivating Hinrich this season's statistics are only 10 points and 5 assists, although the point guard is called Stockton's second, and Brand has also been called Malone's second a long time ago. But the combination of these two No. 2 pairings is a bit inconsistent under the leadership of Dunleavy, the former Lakers head coach, so in this case, the Stockton successor is naturally very disappointing in all aspects and it is impossible to compare with Wade, and except for these two outside players.
The other two Bucks' new core Milicic and Magic's new core Bosh are interior players, which is also difficult to compare intuitively, but obviously, the data of these two people averaging 12 points and 8 rebounds per game may be difficult to compare with Wade, and the results of these two teams are still at the bottom level, so in this case, the Boston Celtics' No. 3 pick is really in line with his ability and performance as the No. 3 pick, At least among this year's rookies, only Anthony and James can really be better than him, of course, as far as the current Wade is concerned, there is indeed a certain gap compared to these two players.
Whether it is in terms of team positioning or personal data, although Wade is now in a high position with the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei does not mean to limit him, which can also be seen from the number of shots he has the second most on the team, it can be said that this Mr. Wade used him as the core training as soon as he entered the league, and even to a certain extent, the rookie enjoyed the status of Arenas last season, and Jackson and James Posey made way for him again in terms of data and other aspects.
But even so, Wade is still difficult to compare with James and Anthony, who are the team's bosses once they enter the league, and James is good to say, although he and Rasheed Wallace have led the Hawks this season are also very good, currently ranked seventh in the East, and it is very promising to enter the playoffs.
And this season, Rashid Wallace, who is a contract year, has even put up his best stats since entering the league. In this case, a Rasheed Wallace, who averages 18+9 per game, with a James who averages 20 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game, can also be extremely competitive, and because of this, although James's movement in the East this season is not as big as Anthony's in the West, but it is also recognized as a player who can win the best rookie in most years. Of course, in terms of Wade's stats and the Boston Celtics' results, there is no problem with such a result.
Of course. For Wade, it was definitely a surprise to be able to score close to 22+5 in the first month, after all, the Boston Celtics opponents were not strong last month, and the Boston Celtics backup guard actually played the most minutes of the Boston Celtics. Even the team's boss Maddy's average playing time per game is not as good as him, so it is naturally difficult for such a thing to happen in the future, so it is also a big question for Wade to be able to compete with James for the best rookie in the East in the future.
After all, there is a natural gap between the two in the team's positioning, but no matter what, this first month still allowed the rookie guard of the Boston Celtics to fully prove himself, of course, the competition for the best rookie in the new season Wade may be a dark horse, but the dark horse is only a dark horse after all, and no one knows whether it can be black. And exclude this dark horse. This year's Rookie of the Year is naturally only Anthony and James, who are now tagging an astonishing 20 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.
The last player to be able to do this was Carter, who averaged 27.5 points, 7 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game in 1998-1999, when Carter won the league's scoring title, and since Carter, no player in the league has been able to do this in his rookie season.
In the history of the league, there are only 5 players who can achieve 20+5+5 in their rookie season, the first is James's template Oscar Robinson's average of 30.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game, followed by Jordan's average of 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and then Duncan and Carter of Wake Forest, Duncan averaged 24 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game in his first season. It can be said that according to James's performance so far, this is the top performance of the league's outside rookies, and this kind of performance is undoubtedly able to win the best rookie in most years in the league.
It's just that in this year, his competitive pressure is a little great, after all, there is an Anthony who came in with the halo of Jordan and Carter in the West, although the player who led this team to a storm in the first season of the Raptors is only an average of 25 points and 7 rebounds per game, such data is not better than James, and naturally it is not as good as Jordan and Carter's rookie season, but this player is the best one in terms of personal data and team record, in this case, Coupled with the support of public opinion and the great light of acc on him now, as long as this player's team can finally enter the top four in the West, and his personal data can be maintained at the level of 25+7, this player can basically win this year's best show, if James wants to counterattack, it is estimated that he can only play 25+6+6 or more than 25+6 data directly as Jordan and Carter did at the beginning, or the Hawks can finally enter the top four.
Of course, the competition for the best rookie is basically determined in the competition between Anthony and James or plus a Wade, and in this competition, whether it is Wade or James or Anthony, they all have extremely beautiful data, in this regard, so far the data of these three people can be said to be god-level data among rookies, and unlike the competition for the best rookie, this year's MVP is a little weird, Because there doesn't seem to be a player in this year's MVP list who is not like Carter in the previous two seasons, Carter's MVP in the previous two seasons is basically without any doubt, whether it is the team's record or his own personal data or championship bonuses.
It's just this year, the top two in the MVP rankings, the first Maddie is averaging 22 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds per game for 31 minutes per game, and the Lakers leader Ao Fat, who is the second on the MVP list on the other side, only averages 21 points and 11 rebounds per game, which is very shabby compared to the MVP of all previous seasons, but at this time, because the team has not broken through, so even if he starts to play the No. 4 position this year, Carter, who averaged 26 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game, ended up only in third.
Of course, because Duncan in the West is naturally affected by the team's record, Duncan and Caterpillar are fat and Maddie in terms of data, but it is obvious that if Carter and Duncan cannot complete the breakthrough in last season's results, this year's MVP can only be produced between Fat and Maddie, and last season, the teams of these two people were second in the East and second in the West, especially for Carter, who has won two MVPs in a row, so in this case, basically after the end of the season, This year's MVP selection will be very suspenseful and very lively, and there will definitely not be a one-sided thing like Carter and Garnett or Duncan in previous seasons.
"Coach, Tracy is much more mature now, if it had been two years ago, he would have thought that it would have been time to fight Carter, and now he is not so impetuous, but Dwyanne still has a long way to go."
In the Boston Celtics training hall, Zhuang Fei also looked at the Boston Celtics players on the court with a smile on his face after hearing the words of his assistant Green, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps for Zhuang Fei, the growth of every player needs to be like this, whether it is Carter or Pierce or Garnett, and now Maddie or Wade in the future.
"This is also the fun of the NBA, they are never short of challenges and opponents, just to see if they have the heart to always pursue challenges," Zhuang Fei said with a smile at the end. And after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Green on the side also nodded.
A heart for a challenge? Zhuang Fei believes that his team is never lacking, and after Maddy won the best of the month and the first place in the MVP list, the new league player soon led the Celtics to victory in the next game, on December 1, the Celtics defeated the Suns 118-100 at home, Maddy played 38 minutes and scored 35 points and 11 assists, while Wade cut 22 points, 5 assists and 4 steals in front of TJ Ford. This rookie also let everyone know the difference between the third rookie and the fourth rookie this year. (To be continued.) )
