The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 219 218. East and West Awards (seeking a monthly ticket)

February 1.

After the Magic defeated the Cavaliers in an upset at home, the entire outside media is currently busy.

After all, in this game, Lewis, the second leader of the Magic, was also absent due to injury, so before the game, all the media were unanimously optimistic that the Cavaliers could win the game.

As a result, it was never expected that under the personal leadership of Su Jiu, the Magic team reversed the game with their own strength.

This also made the outside media frantically busy. While questioning the Cavaliers, they also made a praiseworthy report on Su Jiu.

In particular, Su Jiu's exhausted look lying alone on the floor of the arena after the game was widely reproduced by the media.

And this article was packaged internally by the company, and some tear-jerking topics were written for news promotion.

For the two teams, the Cavaliers and the Magic, if they want to break through and reach the finals in the Eastern Conference, they can definitely be said to be the biggest opponents in the Eastern Conference.

After all, the entire Eastern Conference has been showing a trend of three-legged confrontation so far, and among them, the Celtics' record this season is the worst of the three teams.

This has also led to more and more people becoming optimistic that in this year's Eastern Conference finals, the two young teams, the Magic and the Cavaliers, will meet.

Therefore, every match between the two teams can be described as very eye-catching, which makes the fans talk about it.

But what the fans never expected was that the Cavaliers still lost the game when the Magic's second scorer Lewis was absent due to injury.

And the reason for losing this game was not because of Warcraft Howard's great power, but the rookie Su Jiu led the team to reverse the Cavaliers with his own strength.

This also made many fans feel shocked, calling it incredible.

And many doubts from the outside world obviously made Cavaliers coach Mike Brown feel great pressure.

So when he was interviewed by the media after the game yesterday, Mike Brown had no choice but to praise Su Jiu.

After all, in this game, Su Jiu personally led the team to reverse the Cavaliers, so as long as Su Jiu's performance is praised a little higher, the Cavaliers' loss will make people feel that it is not so difficult to accept.

And if Mike Brown slanders Su Jiu's performance, then he really has shit in his head.

As a result, it was Mike Brown's remarks that made Su Jiu hit the headlines again.

After all, if the opponent's head coach can be recognized at the press conference, then this player's performance has definitely reached a very good level.

…………

On this day, when most of the outside fans were discussing the game between the Cavaliers and the Magic, the NBA officially announced the best awards for the East and West in December.

In the West, among the outside fan groups, Kobe Bryant is of course the most vocal in the selection of the best player in the West in December.

After all, in this month, Kobe still led the Lakers to a very good performance, and he still averaged 25.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in terms of personal data.

However, when this award was announced, the best player in the Western Conference in December was won by Carmelo Anthony of the Nuggets.

Throughout December, Anthony also led the Nuggets to a record of 12 wins and 9 losses.

Among them, he was able to contribute 34.5 points, 26.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists in an average of 3.8 minutes per game.

And compared to this season's 43.2% field goal percentage, throughout December, Anthony's field goal percentage was as high as 12%, of which the three-point field goal percentage was also 49.6%.

Therefore, when the team's record is not as good as the Lakers, Carmelo Anthony finally beat Kobe to be elected the best player in the Western Conference in December.

It is worth mentioning that the Nuggets currently rank second in the Western Conference under the leadership of Melo Anthony, and are only 3.5 games away from the Lakers who are the Western Conference's No. [-] team.

Therefore, Anthony this season is also highly anticipated by the fans. After all, whether it is in terms of team record or personal performance, Anthony this season can be described as very good.

However, after the award was announced, many fans immediately questioned it.

Although most of the doubts come from the fans of the Lakers, it can be seen from this point how popular Kobe is this season.

Compared with the wild dance of demons in the west, once the best player award in the east is announced, the doubts will obviously be much smaller.

On the Eastern side, the Eastern Conference's best player award in December was once again awarded to Howard of the Magic.

Although the election this time also allowed Howard to be re-elected as the best player for two months in November and December, the doubts this time are obviously much smaller than the last time.

Because throughout December, the Magic finally played a terrifying 12 wins and 12 loss.

When the team's record can be said to be excellent and cannot be better, Howard personally averaged 17.6 points, 14.7 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game.

And in December, Howard's shooting percentage was as high as 12%, ranking first among all players in the league who averaged more than 63.1 minutes per game.

Although this has a lot to do with Su Jiu's frequent alley-oop feeding, but in competitive sports, although the process is also very important, people often pay more attention to the final result.

In addition to the best players in the East and West, the best coach in the East in December was won by Stan Van Gundy as he wished.

After all, with a record of 12 wins and 1 loss in a single month, even in the long history of the entire NBA, this is definitely an excellent performance.

Therefore, Stan Van Gundy did not have any pressure in the end. In the selection of the best coach in the Eastern Conference in December, he suppressed Mike Brown and Doc Rivers and was successfully elected.

However, after Mike Brown and Stan Van Gundy have won the best coach award successively.

Among the current three-legged teams in the Eastern Conference, only Celtics head coach Doc Rivers was not elected.

And it's not only that, the Celtics are also the team with the worst record among these three teams, so after the awards are announced this time, Rivers will obviously suffer more pressure.

On the West side, compared to the selection of the best players, there is still no suspense about the best coaches in the West in December.

Throughout December, Zen Master Jackson also led the Lakers to a record of 12 wins and 11 losses.

While consistently ranking first in the Western Conference, he also successfully overtook the Magic at the last moment, and once again climbed to the top of the league.

Therefore, no one has questioned Jackson's re-election as the best coach in the Western Conference.

Because throughout December, only Magic coach Stan Van Gundy has a better record than Zen Master Jackson.

Therefore, among the coaching groups in the entire Western Conference, Zen master Jackson can be said to be the best, sitting firmly in the first place.

And this time the selection of the best coaches in the East and West, combined with the strength shown by the two teams in the half of the season, also made the outside media make some bold predictions about this.

It is very likely that the best coach of the season will be selected from Zen Master Jackson and Stan Van Gundy.

Although so far, Zen Master Jackson's support rate is 25.6%, ranking first in the league.

But Stan Van Gundy, who is closely behind him, has so far had a rocket-like approval rating of 21.4%.

With the addition of George Karl, McMillan, Mike Brown and others behind him, the gap is not very big.

So this seems to make this year's best coach competition more and more blurred...
