Chapter 817 817. Terrible Monster

At noon, the NBA officially announced last month's Best of the Month awards.

Rookie of the Month:

East: Nets combo guard Marcus Williams, averaging 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

West: Andrea Bargnani of the SuperSonics, averaging 16.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.

Coach of the Month:

East: Bobcats' Bernie Bickerstaff; West: Trail Blazers' Maurice Cheeks.

Player of the month:

East: Dwight Howard of the Magic, 15 games, 11 wins and 4 losses, averaging 18.2 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.

West: Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, 16 games, 14 wins and 2 losses, averaging 34.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.87 assists, 2.4 steals and 0.67 blocks per game.

Warden has won the Player of the Month award for two consecutive months, and is also the first time in his career that he has won the Player of the Month award in December!

This greatly exceeded people’s expectations!

With 24 wins and 7 losses, the Trail Blazers have finished two games and are ranked second in the Western Conference. They are only two games away from the Spurs, who are first in the Western Conference with 26 wins and 5 losses!

Moreover, Warden's performance in December was not inferior to that in November, and he even scored 81 points in a single game like someone possessed by Satan!

This is different from the warden in people's minds.

In people's perception, the warden's performance is often tepid in the months of December and February.

Because after getting through the opening month of November, all the stars in December have already entered the state; after getting through the most difficult and torturous game month in January, all the stars have another highlight game month in February.

In the past two years, the warden's performance in these two months has been tepid and average.

In people's eyes, what makes Warden great is his stability. November was a slow start for other stars, January was a fluctuating state, and March and April were a decline in data. These were the months when he was at his strongest.

This year, before this stereotype was firmly established, it was broken by the warden!

Liu Xiu was also surprised that Howard was so aggressive in his third year. He suddenly stole the best player of the month award from so many stars in the Eastern Conference.

However, it seems that the Best of the Month in the last month of the Eastern Conference last year was won by Howard... He was indeed regarded as a top talent in his peak period who could single-handedly replace James at his peak.

But this month is the best, and there is some intention in the alliance to support the beast.

O'Neal has fallen from the end of his peak to the bottom. So far this season, he has only averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds per game. At the center position, Yao Ming has become the dominant player in the Eastern Conference.

What surprised him even more was that Roy was actually robbed of the Rookie of the Month award in the second month, and it was Bargnani... The No. 1 pick who had the least presence in time and space, now he seems to be the No. 1 pick after not being the No. 1 pick.

It's quite excellent.

It’s just that Aldridge is going to be scolded again. It’s so miserable...

…

After Yao Ming, Howard was elected the Eastern Conference Player of the Month. As Liu Xiu expected, fans naturally compared the two together.

Howard, who is only 21 years old, performed really well. He is not inferior to Milicic. He has a fierce playing style and a cheerful personality. He has attracted many fans and has become the focus of the moment.

But the one with the hottest topic is Liu Xiu.

Not to mention the 81 points, Liu Xiu has been the Western Conference Player of the Month for two consecutive years since his sophomore year. This topic is also very popular, and another January is here...

At 8 p.m., the Trail Blazers' away game against the Mavericks started at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

It's not a good thing that Nowitzki feels popular for the first time.

Since he got the nickname "Silver Corner King", he has become very popular in China. His personal playing style is beautiful and the team's style of play is also good. His games have very good ratings in China.

For two years, NBA officials often used it as a contending party in popular games broadcast live in China.

Kobe Bryant's popularity in China is so high that even NBA officials are confused. It's so popular that he even compares it with Liu Xiu and Yao Ming. So, yesterday, on January 1, 2007, China's imperial court arranged a popular game.

It's the Lakers playing the Mavericks.

The desperate Liu Xiu scored 81 points the day before yesterday, so last night, Kobe Bryant made 18 of 33 shots and scored 53 points... thanks to Josh Howard who scored 27 points, Nowitzki scored 24 points, and Terry

With 24 points and 8 assists, all three of the Mavericks' stars scored 20 points. The Mavericks narrowly defeated the Lakers 114-109 on the road.

We just had a bloody battle with Kobe to the last minute yesterday, and today we are back in Dallas to meet Liu Xiu...

Nowitzki seemed to have returned to the nightmare stage of last season. Kobe had just beaten them and scored 75 points. A few days later, Liu Xiu beat them and scored 76 points...

He thought, yesterday Kobe scored 53 points, if Liu Xiu let go tonight, he would have 54 points!

In terms of lineup, the Trail Blazers are still better than the Lakers, and they are back-to-back with the Mavericks!

The rest of the Mavericks have similar thoughts to Nowitzki.

So, tonight, the Mavericks transform into the Raptors...

And compared to the Raptors, who are young, have unlimited impact, and can score more than 100 points on offense regardless of their defense, the Mavericks pulled away tonight.

Terry scored 29 points, Nowitzki scored 18 points, Josh Howard scored 11 points, and the three of them scored 58 points, but the team only had 85 points.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu was defended and only made 6 of 20 shots, scoring only 18 points. However, he still had 10 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals. In addition to Ray Allen's 28 points and Randolph's 18 points, he boasted

Mae Brown's 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks... 104 to 85, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Mavericks and won their 13th consecutive victory!

…

Liu Xiu’s third triple-double this season!

He only got his third triple-double in the third month, which is the slowest pace since entering the NBA.

But his scoring average is a new high so far in his career!

On the 3rd, the Trail Blazers came to San Antonio's ATT Arena to challenge the Spurs away from home.

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on strong defense to lead the Spurs by 3 points, 21 to 18. In the second quarter, the Spurs responded with a 26 to 23 victory over the Trail Blazers. After halftime, the two teams were tied at 44!

In the third quarter, the Spurs played a strong performance of 26-16 in a single quarter. In the last quarter, the Trail Blazers won 24-21 by 3 points, but in the end the Trail Blazers began to lose the game.

The Trail Blazers' 13-game winning streak was strong, but they lost to the Spurs' stable strength!

84 to 91, the Trail Blazers' 13-game winning streak was ended by the Spurs!

Liu Xiu made 12 of 30 shots and scored 35 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. His performance was not bad.

Mainly because the Spurs performed a bit too much!

Ginobili had 14 points and 7 assists, Duncan had 14 points and 9 rebounds, Parker had 14 points and 5 assists, Bowen had 12 points, Barry had 13 points, Finley had 10 points, Bonner had 7 points, Oberto had 4 points, and Udrih had 1 point and 3 points.

Assists... 9 players from the Spurs played, and all 9 players scored!

He only scored 91 points, but 6 people scored in double figures!

Compared with the last time they played against each other, Liu Xiu clearly felt the improvement of the Spurs team's offense.

Compared with the Spurs system that was built after accumulating several years of experience in the offensive basketball era, the system that Popovich and the Troika are now forced to make changes has many deficiencies in details.

However, the details that are missing are nothing to worry about!

The troika is at its peak!

Liu Xiu felt that he had forced out a terrible monster...
