The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 231 Perfect November (seeking subscription, monthly pass)

It is terrifying to get a triple-double of 30+10+10 in his rookie season. After entering the league, Lin Yue proved that he is not the second place in the parallel imports. On the contrary, his game status is still improving and his performance is getting better and better.

Curry hit 6 three-pointers in this game and scored 25 points and 4 assists.

After Durant scored 13 points in the first quarter, he scored 26 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds in a quasi-triple-double. The first team almost had two triple-doubles.

The perfect performance of the three in this game made the Jazz not only a tool man, but also a background board many times. The domestic fans said that they were addicted, and please beat the Jazz hard when you meet the Jazz in the future.

However, the professionalism of the Jazz players is still worthy of praise. They still did not give up their belief in winning despite the extremely unfavorable atmosphere on the scene. There are always people who lose on the basketball court, but the guys who never give up in their hearts are worthy of praise.

After the game, Sloan and his Jazz walked away sullen. Overall, the game wasn't good for them, in every sense, and they had a lot to deal with internally. This game was just a microcosm of the start of their season.

The Thunder won the game. After thanking the fans, Lin Yue followed the team back to the locker room. On the way back to the locker room, he saw Westbrook, Griffin and Love.

"Why are you here?" Curry asked, not knowing it either.

"Of course it's for Lin, we didn't play today." Westbrook replied.

Afterwards, the six exchanged pleasantries, and the rest of the Thunder players did not disturb them who were reunited.

"By the way, the coach said to clean up for a while, take a shower and go to celebrate. He has already booked a seat." Ibaka said to the six people.

"Can we go too?" Westbrook asked weakly. He didn't expect the coach of the Thunder to be so good. The players even came out to celebrate their birthdays.

"Of course." Curry said happily, the dinner party is naturally more interesting if there are more people.

In the early hours of Oklahoma City, everyone on the Thunder team plus three people had been playing and playing. After winning the game, the celebration was much more enjoyable. After Westbrook finished drinking, he kept complaining about the team and said a lot of interesting things.

He and D'Antoni really don't get along. The two made a lot of jokes, but they got along more and more harmoniously. New York is a good city, with high exposure and high salary in a big city, but it is too far away from the championship he aspires to. Maybe he will leave the team in the future, but that's all for later.

"He's drunk like this, so there's no game today." Lin Yue asked worriedly.

Usually NBA games are two-person games, but sometimes back-to-back games will result in a game in three days, but this season's schedule is relatively tight, and there is a high probability that it will be a game in two days, so Lin Yue asked this question.

"Don't worry, although this guy is usually careless, he takes the game more seriously than anyone else. If there is a game, he will definitely not drink." Love said, he and Westbrook were classmates in college, and this guy has a strong heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't practice desperately and improve himself. As for D'Antoni's fast-break three-pointer, it is difficult for Westbrook to do well. His body is too strong, and there will be subtle differences in his shooting posture, which leads to his unobjective shooting percentage.

Taking this opportunity, Coach Brooks also expressed his thoughts during this period of coaching, "Lin, it's great that you can come to this team. We had KD and Stephen last season, but we couldn't play decent results. Stephen was also affected by injuries. I was just appointed as the head coach at that time. A rookie season of coaching did not bring everyone good results. Fortunately, Lin finally came to the team. Now the team's record is also thriving. This is something to celebrate."

"By the way, and happy birthday, I am an immature coach who is lucky to meet players like you." Brooks said with tears in his eyes.

He has been under a lot of pressure this season, basically he hasn't had a good night's sleep, the schedule is tight, and he has encountered strong teams in succession during this period, the schedule is very difficult, but the performance of the players has exceeded his expectations. Facing the increased training volume, no one complained.

Even, driven by Lin Yue's increased training alone, the rest of the players followed suit. The atmosphere in the team is very good, and everyone will work hard in the future playoffs.

That's why, as the head coach, he can't fall behind.

After the dinner party, everyone was taken to the hotel by someone who was still awake, and it will be the night. After waking up the next day, the whole team just returned to the gymnasium to start today's training.

"Where are Russell and the others?" Curry asked, and he hadn't seen the three guys when he got up.

"They sent a message in the group, and now they have gone back." Lin Yue showed Curry his phone.

……

After defeating the Jazz, the Thunder's record this season has reached 10 wins and 5 losses. If they continue, they have a good chance to enter the playoffs with a good ranking.

The Thunder's next opponent is the Bucks. After selecting Jennings, their performance this season was unexpectedly good, with 8 wins and 5 losses ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

After Jennings scored 55 points, there was a period of trough. This is because after he played, he was valued by other teams, and his chances of shooting were not as good as before, and he played a lot of games.

During this period of time, after gradually getting used to the defensive intensity, his state has recovered, and he has led the Bucks to a good record, ranking fourth in the rookie rankings, which is very good.

The Thunder had two days to rest after the Jazz game. After the busy schedule, it was their turn to transition. The remaining two games this month were the Bucks and the Houston Rockets.

The Thunder have a chance to win three consecutive victories. After getting 30+10+10, Lin Yue's scoring average this season has successfully increased to 20, becoming 20.5 points, his average assists per game has also become 9.8, and his average rebounds per game are also 6.2.

With such efficiency and data, coupled with the good results of the Thunder, Lin Yue and Durant, who averaged more than 29 points per game, also appeared in the real-time MVP list. Lin Yue ranked fifth and Durant ranked seventh.

I don't know if Lin Yue has the bonus of being a rookie, but the current state is very telling, that is, this season Lin Yue may not only get the best rookie, but also may be selected for the All-Star and the best team, and he may even have a chance to win the MVP. Although the probability is very low, but being on the list means that experts are already paying attention to his performance.

Lin Yue has played flawlessly so far in his rookie season, exciting Chinese fans, and even Yao Ming praised him on the phone, saying that his future has unlimited possibilities.

The time came to November 2009, 11. The Thunder played against the Milwaukee Bucks at home. The outside world was generally optimistic that the Thunder could win the game. The Bucks had a good record, but they still showed a clear gap in strength when they encountered tough problems.

In this game, under the defense targeted by the Thunder, Jennings failed to perform brilliantly. He only made 12 of 4 shots in the game. He made a good three-pointer, 3 of 2 and 6 of 4 free throws. He scored 14 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

The rest of the Bucks didn't perform well either, and eventually lost to the Thunder by a score of 90 to 108.

Lin Yue scored 20 points and 10 assists this time, and Durant also successfully scored a game-high 35 points. This game was under the Thunder's control from the very beginning, and they had no chance to overtake.

After a big victory, the Thunder's record came to 11 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking in the West is still rising.

Next is the away game against the Houston Rockets on November 11. The Rockets had a record of 29 wins and 8 losses before the start of the game, which is almost what people guessed. Without Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, this team is not bad enough.

The Rockets still have more capable players, such as Luis Scola, Ariza, Battier, Brooks, Carl Landry and others. If the Thunder are not careful, they may also lose in the away game.

However, the Thunder were not careless. After Coach Brooks confided his heart last time, their condition is getting better and better, and the coach's arrangement is also obeying. Although I really don't want to say this, but it is true that everything the coach does is for this team.

At the beginning of the game, the Thunder showed a strong desire to win. In the last game in November, they wanted to bid farewell to this month with a win.

Durant, Curry, and Lin Yue's Thunder Trident once again showed their strength. The three-person offensive cooperation is becoming more and more mature. Many teams don't know how to play this kind of three-core lineup, especially Stephen Curry's three-point accuracy, Lin Yue's strong passing vision, and Kevin Durant's bug-level scoring ability.

How to defend this kind of team, the Rockets are also troubled by it.

Fortunately, Battier and Ariza's defensive ability is good, they limit the opponent's scoring efficiency to a certain extent.

But Brooks is a defensive loophole. Curry can finally show his offensive talent this time. Carry a game, shoot from inside and outside, not only can score, but also be efficient.

Lin Yue had a great time with Curry's assists this time, with 6 assists in a single quarter, which is not often the case.

In the end, the Rockets also resisted for halftime. In the third quarter, they gradually lost accuracy on the offensive end and were pulled apart. They lost the game 91-100. In this campaign, the two of them scored 21 points, Brooks and Landry, and Brooks and Ariza with 17 points.

Lin Yue scored 18 points, 13 assists and 8 rebounds. Curry scored a game-high 34 points and hit 7 three-pointers in a single game. Durant also scored 29 points. The three took the victory again.

In November, the Thunder finally headed into the next month with a perfect three-game winning streak.
