Chapter 988: The Best Rookie Who Averages Less Than 10 Points Per Game (Third Update!) )
Fans are talking about it on social media, and the next games of the Western Conference are becoming more and more exciting.
After the Pelicans equalized, the two sides will face the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
This is the first time in the past two seasons that the Pelicans have been forced to Tianwang Mountain, which also shows that the strength of the two teams is evenly matched.
And the more this situation is, the more people look forward to the next Tianwang Mountain.
The best news for the Pelicans is that Kings Mountain will play in New Orleans, which allows them to play at ease.
Back in New Orleans, Tang Tian hadn't seen his son for five days, and his heart was itching.
As soon as he returned to the manor, he saw Yongqi and Downs chasing Meixiao on the grass.
The lion cub watched quietly from a distance, drooping its ears and looking very leisurely.
Seeing that Tang Tian was back, the two sons ran towards him.
Although he didn't get along with them for a long time because of his long-term play, his son was still very close to him because of frequent videos.
Kiss, hug, hold high.
Tang Tian's love for his son can really be described as doting.
After playing with his son for a while, he beckoned Carl to bring him the new toys he had bought from Auckland, and then asked the nanny to accompany them to play for a while.
Sitting on a wicker chair on the grass and drinking hot coffee, he enjoyed a rare leisure time.
"I'm looking at social media."
Olsen held the back of Tang Tian's hand and spoke.
"What did they say?"
Tang Tian looked at Olsen with a smile.
In order to focus on helping the team defend his title, he turned off social media after the start of this year's playoffs.
Occasionally, Olsen told him to hear.
He won the game in the last game with a good performance, and most of the social media flattered him.
Sure enough, Olsen smiled and spoke, saying much as he had guessed.
"You have to watch out for Pachuria."
But in the end, Olsen specially reminded Tang Tian.
Tang Tian nodded.
What Olsen said should have been discussed by fans on social media.
But this reminder is still very timely.
Tianwang Mountain is very important, and the most intuitive thing is that according to historical statistics, the probability of the team winning Tianwang Mountain has reached 82%.
If you narrow it down to teams with home field advantage, that figure rises to more than 90 percent.
In other words, after losing Game 4, the first thing the Warriors have to do to win this series is to do everything they can to win the King's Mountain.
And in order to do this, there is still the possibility of some non-basketball means appearing.
The Warriors, in particular, are a team with a track record.
The two days passed quickly.
Before the Warriors and Pelicans welcome the Kings Mountain, there are two other things to watch in the league.
The first is the East Final.
The Knicks have tied the score with two consecutive cities, and they will also face the Cavaliers in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
Their situation is the same as that of the West Duel.
Howard is still playing with an injury, and although he is playing on the road, the Knicks are still in high spirits.
However, this Tianwang Mountain fight was much worse than expected.
James got into the groove at the beginning, scoring 18 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, and no one could stop him.
The Knicks are helpless in the face of such a little emperor.
And James not only played well on the offensive end, but also limited Anthony to death on the defensive end.
In the end, under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers led the Knicks by as many as 20 points in the third quarter, and finally defeated the Knicks 114-94 to win Tianwang Mountain.
Fans couldn't help but sigh after the game that James was stimulated by Tang Tian and played the value of the second person in the league.
This state of affairs also makes them look forward to a possible second season of Pelican Wars.
At that time, James and Tang Tian will have a peak two-person duel that can throw, pass and rush, and have first-class physical strength, coupled with the lineups of both sides, it will be exciting.
In addition to the Eastern Conference Final, another thing that attracts attention is the sixth batch of awards of the season.
There is only one award in this batch, Best Rookie.
The honor of Best Rookie is much weaker than the previous MVP, but this year it has attracted much attention.
The reason for this is that the champion Ben Simmons has only played more than 20 games due to injury and cannot participate in the best rookie selection.
Second, Ingram has had a dismal performance in Philadelphia, averaging less than 10 points per game this season.
This, coupled with the fact that the performance of other rookies is also mediocre, makes the selection of the best rookie confusing.
The best thing to say is that the competition is fierce, and the bad thing is to pull out the general in the short man.
As of now, the more vocal rookies are Sharic, Hield and Brogdon.
Sharic, a 2014 first-round pick who played overseas for two years before landing in the NBA, is also expected to be named for Rookie of the Year according to the rules.
This season he was Randle's backup with the 76ers, averaging 12 points and 7 boards per game.
The stats are eye-catching among the rookies, but what falls short is his shooting percentage, 41 percent of two-pointers and 31 percent of three-pointers, which are not good for an interior player.
Hield averaged 12.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, the most of any rookie except for Simmons, with 42.6 percent of two-pointers and 39.1 percent of three-pointers also eye-catching.
He is also the hottest candidate for Best Rookie.
Of the three, Brogdon was also the most unexpectedly candidate.
The 76ers and Kings are underdogs, and rookies are easy to figure out in them, but Brogdon is also doing quite well for the Pelicans, the defending champion team.
He averaged 9.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game while shooting 47% from the field, plus 41% from three-point range.
Although the data is average, because of the Pelicans' exposure, his mature and steady style is also liked by the media and fans.
The final selection results came out, and the vote rates of the three were 22%, 33%, and 40% respectively.
Brogdon eventually beat Hield and Sharic to win the Rookie of the Season!
He also set a new record and became the only rookie to average less than 10 points per game since the establishment of the NBA!
The results of this selection have attracted another wave of heated discussions on fans' social media.
"The best rookie is already in the lineup!"
"Winning the championship, holding the strongest rookie, having the present and the future, I want to ask, as a Pelican fan, why can I be so happy!"
"Brogdon's style of play is really rare and stable among rookies, and if it is in other weak teams, it is entirely possible to average 15+ per game! He's really strong! ”
"The best rookie who averaged less than 10 points per game without ifs? This year's NBA is also so hilarious! Comments from Jokic fans.
"As much as I like Brogdon too, I think he's really close to being the best rookie." Comments from Brogdon fans.
"Brogdon played well, but he didn't really deserve to be the best rookie, and I'm rooting for Hield this time." Comments from Boban fans.
