The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 232 The Best Rookie of the Month (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass)

On December 12, when the Thunder players rested, the results of the NBA's Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month selections for November were announced.

Although Lin Yue failed to win the Player of the Month award for himself, he still won the Rookie of the Month award without a doubt. Throughout November, the Thunder team won 11 wins and 10 losses, and their record changed to 5 wins and 12 losses. At first, it seemed that they underestimated them when they entered the playoffs. In the Western Conference where there are so many strong players, they can still achieve good results.

林跃本人场均能够拿到21分、10.2次助攻、6.5个篮板、1.3次抢断和1.1次盖帽，战胜场均拿到20分、5.2个篮板和4.8次助攻的埃文斯，拿到西部月最佳新秀。

The Rookie of the Month in the East was won by Jennings. He averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game. Except for a slightly lower shooting percentage, the others are very good.

As for DeRozan, due to his poor performance in mid-November, he missed the best rookie of the month. At the same time, his position in the Raptors is still not good enough.

The best player of the month in the West was won by Nuggets star "Melo" Carmelo Anthony. After Iverson left the Nuggets, they dug Billups to add color to the team's organizational skills.

Anthony averaged 31.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 49%. For an outside player, this shooting percentage is very high.

The best player of the month in the East was won by LeBron James of the Cavaliers. He averaged 30.5 points, 7.8 assists and 6.4 rebounds per game this month, helping the Cavaliers achieve a record of 13 wins and 5 losses, the same record as the Atlanta Hawks, ranking No.3 in the East.

After the introduction of O'Neal this season, the morale of the entire Cavaliers team is high. As O'Neal said, he came here to help James win the championship, but the competition in the East is very fierce now. Whether it is the "Big Three" Celtics or the Magic that will shoot all the way to the end, they are all very competitive. The competition this season is extremely fierce.

It's hard to predict who will win the championship in the end.

However, for Lin Yue himself, winning the best rookie is a good start. Now everything in the NBA has been smoother than he imagined. Durant gets along very well, and he and Curry are back together as teammates.

It seems that it has something to do with his personality. Lin Yue is different from Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming. He has a cheerful personality, and he will not be overly humble or not communicating with his teammates. He has done a good job in these aspects. From the blessings sent by the stars he met on his birthday, it can be seen that a proper social butterfly can achieve such an effect after only entering the NBA for a month.

When they learned that Lin Yue had won the Rookie of the Year award, the Thunder's management was very happy. Presti's persistence proved that he had a very good vision for selecting candidates, and Lin Yue played extremely well.

It's a pity that Lin Yue didn't win Player of the Month in the first month of his career. Anthony's recent form is too hot. Otherwise, based on Lin Yue's data, he is still qualified to compete with "Melon".

This news has spread throughout the country. Every time Lin Yue achieves an achievement, it will cause a climax among domestic fans. The performance of the Chinese people in the NBA has indeed increased a lot of expectations, and the game has become more interesting. After all, there is a team that can cheer. This sense of belonging makes them very happy after the Thunder wins.

Within a month, Lin Yue's jersey sales ranked among the top three in the country. This sales volume is much better than Yao Ming's at that time. Now that NBA fans have increased in China, the exposure is also different. In addition, Lin Yue's position is in the second place. The gorgeous style of play is easier to attract fans, and the sales of jerseys are naturally high.

After this selection, the events in November will come to an end for the time being.

On December 2009, 12, the Thunder will face the Philadelphia 2ers at home to start their journey in December. Lin Yue doesn't pay too much attention to personal honor. It is a good thing to win the Rookie of the Month, but it is not a big award, and the competition pressure is not great, so there is no need to be too happy.

On the contrary, they still have to be down-to-earth, win every game, and prepare for the playoffs. Not getting the best player of the month proves that he still has a lot of room for improvement. This month, they want to launch an impact in the Western Conference.

Stern is satisfied with the Rookie of the Month award from the league. Unfortunately, Lin Yue did not win the Player of the Month award in one fell swoop, otherwise his topic would be more popular. This is the effect he wants. What the business league needs is a topic. Now Lin Yue is a lively topic leader, and his performance affects many factors.

In fact, Lin Yue's performance was good enough, and there is nothing wrong with opening the back door.

Thinking of this, Stern immediately shook his head. Forget it, too much intervention is not a good thing. Competitive sports still need to be fair so that the NBA can go further.

Although Stern wanted to let Lin Yue take over Yao Ming's position immediately, he, the president, couldn't be too hasty, and it still needed time to test it.

If Lin Yue is a capable player, there is no need for him to package; but if Lin Yue is a parallel importer, then his packaging will not be effective.

Next, we can only expect the Thunder to bring more exciting performances.

"Lin, I really envy you. As soon as you got the best rookie of the month, someone invited you to participate in the show." Curry muttered, and it could be heard from his tone that he was sour.

"Didn't you also win the best rookie back then, and KD too, I just barely caught up with you this time." Lin Yue said speechlessly.

"But we haven't participated in the show, and the emphasis is completely different." Durant also complained. It seems that Lin Yue has only entered the league for a month, and his reputation has grown a lot. Even in this city, people seem to like him more.

Durant is also envious!
"You also want to be together. They said that they will also take shots of daily life. As my lovely roommates, you also want to appear on the scene."

After hearing Lin Yue's words, Curry and Durant ran back to the bedroom to tidy up and changed into a set of clothes that looked more like an athlete than a dick, but Durant's temperament as a contractor couldn't be concealed by clothes.

In the following afternoon, the three cooperated with reporters from the domestic (China) sports channel to shoot a video, and then interviewed the three of them, but the content of the interview was all about Lin Yue.

"It turns out that we are also tool people!" Durant sighed after the filming ended.
