Chapter 133 Battle for the Best Rookie of the Month(1/2)

As the new season gradually deepens, the NBA official website has integrated resources and compiled various lists, which has attracted the attention of the outside world.

In addition to the most watched record rankings, the popularity of the rookie rankings has also quickly increased, becoming a hot topic among fans.

At this stage, the NBA official website only displays the top five players in the rookie rankings.

1. Golden State Warriors, Sun Yi: Averaged 21.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game.

2. Sacramento Kings, Evans: Averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game.

3. Milwaukee Bucks, Jennings: Averaged 17.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.

4. Golden State Warriors, Curry: Averaged 16.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

5. Toronto Raptors, DeRozan: Averaged 11.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.

In this list, Sun Yi ranks first without any doubt. Even if he stretches his hips in the next two or three games, he can still win the Rookie of the Month in November with his 50 triple-double.

Curry was originally ranked third on this list, but he began to hit the rookie wall after entering late November. His status was ups and downs. He failed to score in double figures in several consecutive games, which lowered his average data per game and dropped his ranking.

One person.

Some people may ask, why don’t you see James Harden on this list?

This is normal. Harden's starting point is lower than that of several other rookies.

This guy plays the role of the sixth man for the Thunder, while other rookies are trained according to the core players.

How can a player who plays on the bench compare to a player who plays in the starting lineup?

At the same time, as November comes to an end, the topics of Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month have been heated up by media reporters.

Regarding the competition for the best player of the month, Sun Yi's data barely ranks high, but it is too difficult to win this honor. After all, there are too many superstars in the league.

As for the Rookie of the Month, Sun Yi has basically won it.

But nothing can be said too fully, there is still a bit of suspense.

In the next game, the Warriors will play against the Kings. After this game, the Western Conference Rookie of the Month will be announced in advance.





On November 27, all members of the Warriors came to Sacramento.

Tonight they will challenge the Kings away from home.

The Kings lineup during this period was not bad.

The star player is Kevin Martin, who averages 20.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, and his performance is quite outstanding.

Rookie Evans also lived up to expectations and performed brilliantly, ranking second on the rookie list.

Inside, there are defensive anchors like Spencer Hawes and Jason Thompson.

On the bench, there are also strong players like Yourid, Dante Green, Nocioni, and Francis Garcia.

This kind of lineup configuration can theoretically make the playoffs.

But the Kings have proven with actual actions that they can't hold up the wall. They have achieved a record of 5 wins and 10 losses so far, ranking second from the bottom in the Western Conference.

Such a poor record made the Kings management give up this season and work hard to continue to obtain high draft picks.

Not to mention, during the period of bad performance, the Kings were lucky and received unexpected gains.

With the sudden rise of Evans, the Kings management changed its focus and began to fully cultivate Evans as the core of the team.

There is nothing wrong with this, after all, Evans was better than Kevin Martin at his peak in his rookie season.

Although the Kings are struggling this season and don't care about results, they will go all out in this game.

At this stage, Evans is ranked second on the rookie list, and the Kings' management staff will definitely find ways to make Evans go further.

On the other side, the Warriors, who have lost three consecutive games, also need a game to stabilize their morale. The Kings are a good opponent.

Therefore, this game should be very fierce.

During the warm-up activities, Sun Yi and Curry went to say hello to Evans.

The three of them played games in college and naturally kept in touch.

After exchanging a few words with Evans, Sun Yi and Curry returned to the Warriors for halftime of the warm-up activities and continued their warm-up activities.

After the warm-up activities, players from both sides returned to the bench one after another.

At the same time, the starting lineups of the two teams were displayed on the big screen.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Ellis, Maggette, Sun Yi, Randolph.

Kings starting lineup: Evans, Kevin Martin, Casspi, Jason Thompson, Hawes.

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle, signaling the starting players from both sides to come onto the court.

Sun Yi and others quickly left the bench and walked to the center circle.

Unfortunately, the system does not release random tasks, so there is no way to benefit from the system.

After players from both sides arrive at the center circle, they take their positions and prepare to jump the ball.

The referee looked at the timer, blew the whistle, and threw the ball into the air.

Randolph quickly took off and grabbed the basketball, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.

Curry dribbled the ball quickly toward the frontcourt while observing the position of his teammates.

If you want to break the rookie wall, primary school students must make some changes. They cannot play without the ball all the time, but they must also grasp the organization of offense.

Sun Yi doesn't have any objections to this. He doesn't need to organize an attack. He can invest a lot of energy in other aspects and his data will not be bad.

After Evans saw Curry dribbling across half the court, he quickly ran forward to defend.

The physical fitness of elementary school students is naturally not as good as that of Evans, so they can only slow down their speed, dribble steadily to outside the three-point line, and make tactical gestures.

Sun Yi quickly ran forward and made an off-ball screen, firmly blocking Evans.

Curry took the opportunity to bypass the screen and break into the three-point line.

At the same time, after completing the screen, Sun Yi made an air cut into the penalty area.

The primary school student had quick eyes and quick hands and hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi, who was running, received the pass and made a three-step layup.

Hawes near the penalty area quickly retreated to the basket to defend.

Seeing this, Sun Yi threw the ball to the right.

Randolph rushed into the basket, jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.

2:0!

The ball transitions and the Kings attack.

Evans dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, did not call for pick-and-roll cooperation, quickly made a forward change of direction, and dived into the three-point line.

Curry took small steps and moved laterally to block the ball.

Although the defense was not out of position, the size gap between him and Evans was too big, and he was crushed and pushed towards the penalty area.

"Damn! This guy is too strong."

Curry still remembers this kind of extremely brutal breakthrough, after all, his teammates made this kind of breakthrough.

Immediately, the primary school students tried to use the method used to deal with Sun Yi's breakthrough to deal with Evans.

On the other side, Sun Yi, who was near the penalty area, quickly rushed back to the penalty area to help defend.

His opponent, Jason Thompson, has poor shooting stability and is only a threat when entering the penalty area.

Therefore, Sun Yi can safely and boldly assist in defense.

At the same time, Evans had already carried Curry into the penalty area. He found that he was double-teamed by the Warriors and immediately passed the ball out.

Curry took the opportunity to intercept but failed, watching the basketball fly far away.

Martin, who was lying in ambush in the bottom corner, received the pass, faced Ellis' defense, and shot a three-pointer.

Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

The Kings players quickly returned to defense, leaving only Hawes to fight for the offensive rebound.

At the basket, Randolph did not forget his mission, blocking people and creating opportunities for his teammates to grab offensive rebounds.

Sun Yi jumped up to grab the rebound, passed it to Curry for advancement, and then quickly ran forward.

After the elementary school student catches the ball, he quickly dribbles the ball forward.

When he reached a position about half a meter outside the three-point line, he suddenly remembered what Sun Yi had said to him before.

"As long as you feel confident in shooting, you must take it decisively."

So Curry jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.
