The NBA has monthly selections for the best rookie, player, and coach.

After the end of the first month of the 16~17 season, the relevant selection was also released by the Heat.

The Eastern Conference of the Month was easily won by James, and although he is 32 years old, he still seems to be at his peak, and there is no sign of decline, and under his leadership, the Cavaliers have started the season with an 11-2 record, proud of the East.

In the West, Durant won the best player in the West in the first month, although the statistics of 22.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists are much inferior to previous seasons, but considering the Warriors' 12-0 start, such a selection can be said to be no suspense.

However, in fact, it is not these two people who are the most discussed, fans generally do not show too much surprise at what is expected, James and Durant's performance is expected and reasonable, and what really surprised them was the old enemies of Towns and Tang Shuai.

In last season, the performance of both of them was quite amazing, Tang Shuai "snatched" the best rookie award with his outstanding performance in the playoffs, and in the new season, the two seemed to aim for another trophy "regular season MVP" and began to impact.

Tang Shuai's average of 30.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game in November is absolutely amazing, and if it weren't for the team's average record, it would be difficult to say that he wouldn't have a chance to grab Durant's monthly award.

Although the crazy performance in the playoffs last year was impressive, this season's outstanding performance still made fans obsessed with Tang Shuai.

In contrast, Towns, who lost to Don Shuai last season, also showed super talent, averaging 22.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, absolutely super-first-class interior data, and what is even more rare is that under the leadership of him and the team's head coach Thibodeau, the Timberwolves finally cashed in on their talent, with a 9-3 record that allowed them to occupy the third place in the West.

In terms of best manager, Lu and Thibodeau won the award.

On the rookie side, Simmons of the 76ers performed well, averaged 12.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, like a guard version of James's data, and won the best of the month in the East without any suspense, while in the West, Ingram, who joined the Clippers, did not have many opportunities to perform, and his thin body often put him at a disadvantage in the confrontation, and the performance did not meet expectations, but it was the older rookie Buddy Hield who was selected by the Pelicans showed a very good improvisation, averaging a rookie high of 15.6 points per game, plus 2.3 assists, and successfully won the best rookie of the first month in the West, 43Percent's three-point shooting also proved that he was a qualified shooter and made up for the void of Gordon's departure.

In addition to these selections, the MVP rankings for the first month will also be followed.

In the top ten, the Warriors alone occupy three spots, Durant, Curry, Draymond Green are ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 10th respectively, and the Cavaliers also occupy two spots, James and Irving occupy the first and fifth positions, and the other positions are divided by the core of the major powers, and even Towns has reached the sixth place with his outstanding performance.

This list is still relatively reasonable, but what really makes fans unhappy is that Tang Shuai did not appear in the top ten, in fact, the 11th is Thompson of the Warriors, and Tang Shuai is only ranked 12th.

As soon as this ranking came out, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among many fans.

AK12LMF: What the hell ranking? Tang averaged 30+ per game, the league's scoring champion, and a 51% shooting rate, and he couldn't even get into the top ten of MVP! Has this happened in the past?

kl*cbtr*in: this is really excessive! It doesn't matter if the best of the month is not, now Tang Shuai is ranked 12th, and the Spurs are now 8-4 with a record, which is not much better than the Lakers, but Aldridge is ranked 6th?

It's the year of the year: it's red. Bare. Naked discrimination, I dare to assert that if Don were a white man, he would definitely be in the top three on the list now, and might even squeeze out LeBron and Kevin in the first place, knowing that Stephen was in that position last year!

……

After the MVP rankings came out, the discussion among fans was noisy and intensified.

Tang Shuai, who was in the whirlpool of discussions, naturally couldn't escape, and he was quickly caught by reporters after training for the first game against Celtic in December.

"Don, the latest MVP rankings are out, and you're ranked 12th, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Don, is the position of 12 a disdain for you? Are you ready to respond to such doubts with a better performance? ”

……

The reporters' questions blasted towards Tang Shuai like cannonballs, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

After waiting for the reporters to be quiet, he spoke: "12 position, is this position poor?" I wasn't selected until the 15th spot in last year's draft! ”

His opening remarks immediately made the reporters laugh.

"I want to thank the judges for being on this list, and I think about it, I remember that there was a sentence in the Adidas' Adidas, and I want to give it to them, thank you for the encouragement." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

The reporters were stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, with a look of excitement in their eyes.

In Lillard's Adidas commercial, there is indeed the phrase "thank you for the encouragement", and the narration of the ad that comes out of this sentence is: What is there to say to the person who has been hacking you?

Tang Shuai's quote from Lillard's ad is quite obvious, he will not care about these doubts, but he will use them as motivation to move forward.

After coming out of the pile of reporters, he turned around and went back to training with his teammates.

After a season in the league, he is no longer as impulsive as he was when he first arrived, and this list, like other lists, is selected by journalists, media and celebrities, and these people have never looked at him, whether it is when selecting All-Stars or other things.

"Don, rest early, be careful of your injuries." Stephenson said as he gasped like rain of sweat.

Tang Shuai nodded, and then continued to train.

After training for so long the Prokopio way, he already knows where his limits are, so he doesn't have to worry too much about that.

On December 4, after two days of daily training, Tang Shuai and his Lakers teammates boarded a plane to Boston, where they will usher in the first regular season game of December.

The Celtics didn't do well in the offseason, they couldn't trade Don Shuai, and they didn't attract Durant, which didn't match Angie's previous boastful "team change", but they didn't get nothing in the end, and they finally took Horford and upgraded the team's power forward position.

And after a month of validation, they have also shown that they are more competitive than last season.

Horford's 18.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game are much better than they were with the Hawks, and his efficiency has improved greatly since he returned to the familiar No. 4 position, and the Celtics finished 9-4 in November and finished third in the East under him and Thomas.

Zhou Qi, who joined the team in the offseason, also showed good immediacy, he didn't get much playing time because of his thin stature, but in 10.8 minutes, he still efficiently contributed 6 points and 1.8 blocks, and I believe that he will have a better performance after his body is further enhanced.

On the night of the 4th, the TD North Shore Garden Arena in Boston attracted countless fans to watch the game that night.

The matchup between the Lakers and the Celtics has always been able to attract the attention of countless fans, not to mention that both teams are on the road to revival and are inextricably linked.

Angie tried to trade Tang Shuai twice at last year's trade deadline and this year's draft, but in the end Tang Shuai still went to the Lakers, and Tang Shuai and Zhou Qi's Chinese derby is also full of highlights, compared to Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi's performance in the Celtics is obviously better.

The stadium was full, and Tang Shuai and his teammates looked surprised when they entered.

Because the team's performance is not particularly good, except for the last home game against the Thunder, whether it is a home or away game, the attendance rate is not particularly ideal, but this time, the bustling scene in the Garden Arena made them feel a different atmosphere.

In the last three minutes before the game, the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the LED screen.

On the Lakers' side, Wharton continued to start the previous game, with Noel and Gasol on the inside, Tang Shuai and Batum on the outside, and Barnes as the small forward.

On the Celtics' side, Stephens also used the lineup from the beginning of the season, with Olynyk and Horford on the inside, Jae Crowder on the small forward, and Thomas and Bradley on the outside.

The whistle blew on the sidelines, and the game between the two sides officially began.

Olynyk made a small move that made it impossible for Knoll to jump, and he then flicked the ball back into the Celtic half.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Celtics were given the right to attack first.

When he was with the Clippers, Tang Shuai had already played against the Celtics, and in summary, this is a team full of resilience and very good at playing tactical coordination.

At the beginning of the game, Isaiah Thomas dribbled to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Jae Crowder at the top of the arc, and then went to the right wing at a 45-point angle outside the three-point line, and then took advantage of Horford's pick-and-roll to the basket.

Claude held the ball high, looking ready to pass it in.

Thomas's speed was fast, and the Lakers' defensive center of gravity was quickly pinned in, and at that moment, Crowder saw an opportunity and gave a sudden through ball to Horford.

Horford received the ball and raised his hand to make a long-range two-point shot.

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, textbook tactics, Horford hit a solid jumper.

At the moment of scoring, the fans at the scene suddenly let out a burst of excited cheers.

Last season's setup, the endpoint of this position was Sallinger, who is now an upgraded version of Horford.

That's what Stevens is capable of, what kind of player you give him, what kind of tactics he gives you, and he can always get the most out of the lineup. (To be continued.) )
