"Chinese kid: the best of the week has been won, the best of the month is the goal"

Early the next morning, the 76ers players who continued their road trip got up and saw the news headline of the local Los Angeles media in the newspaper box outside the hotel room door.

Although the strength of the 76ers is recognized as not yet at that level, everything is the result of the right time, place and people, but the first in the east is the first in the east, and winning is winning, in the eyes of many people, victory is the only criterion for testing competitive sports.

The front page of the local sports newspaper in Los Angeles is the report of the Lakers' victory over the 76ers last night, the second page is the focus of Kobe's strong outburst, and the third page, that is, the first page that catches your eye after turning the first page of the newspaper, is just above such a big headline.

The Chinese kid is talking big again.

After seeing Chen Mu's speech at the press conference, many fans' first reaction was this.

But on second thought, it's not right!

Big words, that is something that cannot be realized, can only be called big words when it comes out of the mouth of a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky.

And what about the Chinese kids?

Did he really say big things?

What he said, he did. For example, if Jordan said at the press conference one day, I am the god of basketball, and no one is better than me, is this sentence a big word?

Let's talk about it, this is really arrogant enough, and it makes people hate it when they hear it.

But don't count it, because it's true!

Jordan, Bird, Moses Malone, and so on and other legendary stars, they are all masters of saying "big words", but the problem is that after the big words, they all did it, which is incredible.

Now works for the TV station, as Buckley, who is a fan of Chen Mu's brain. is also a lover of big words, but after people say "I'm the best player on the planet", they immediately won an MVP, is this a big talk?

Count? Doesn't count?

Countless fans are caught in the tangle.

As a professional media, the local sports newspaper in Los Angeles is obviously much calmer and more rational, and it is indispensable to criticize Chen Mu's words, but after the condemnation, the media made a list.

This form is quite short and concise, and the first grid is written about the "big words" that Chen Mu said. The second grid is written about the final result of these big words.

Rebounding king? Got it.

Playoffs? Punched in.

An away win? Did it.

And now?

Let's not mention it for a while, it's still far away, but the best month?

More than half of November's tournament has passed, and the candidates for the Eastern and Western Player of the Month are now basically out.

On the western side, the competition is fierce, especially the two interior players, who are very strong.

Carlos Boozer, averaging 25 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists per game. teamed up with Delon and the rest of the Jazz players to load and fly together, and now the record is the first in the Northwest Division, beating the Nuggets with the golden double guns.

Howard, who came to the Suns in the new season, averaged 24 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. Compared with last season, it has evolved a lot, especially in terms of rebounding, and it has suppressed Garnett, a rebounding master for many years, and stood on the second place in the league.

First in the league?

Chinese kid. Chen Mu, averaging 15.4 rebounds per game.

If Howard averages more rebounds per game, it's because the Suns have more offensive and defensive rounds. The number of rebounds generated by itself is large, and the improvement of individual strength is the result. Then Chen Mu's performance is even more surprising.

In the new season of the 76ers, there is a rebounding maniac Evans on the team, no matter who is with him on the court, the rebounding aspect will definitely be diverted by this monster who keeps yelling and burning around, snatching and grabbing rebounds.

But in such a situation, Chen Mu's average number of rebounds per game has increased instead of decreasing, which has to surprise people.

Who will end up winning the rebounding champion this season?

Is it Howard, who has sprung up, or Chen Mu, who has risen steadily?

Many fan websites have begun to give such voting options, just wait for the end of the season to see what happens.

Even some "spinach" institutions have also given ways to play about the rebounding king, and the swarming gamblers have made their moves, making the teeth of the institution's talkers laugh.

Returning to the topic of the best of the month, the Chinese kid said wildly, which caused a lot of controversy, but does his statistical performance and court strength have the capital to compete for the best of the month?

The answer is yes.

Not only there is, but there is a lot of hope.

Among the current best candidates in the East, if you look at the data, the most powerful is undoubtedly LeBron James, who averaged 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and also had one steal and block, which made many people feel a trance after seeing it:

Am I looking at real NBA stats, or am I looking at the database in my game?

Behind LeBron, Chen Mu averaged 23 points, 15.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game, as well as 1.8 blocks and 1.5 steals.

These two super beasts from the future, who will get the best of the month in the first month in the East?

Everyone has their own opinions, experts and the media have their own perspectives, and in the end, most people agree that the outcome is evenly matched.

If you add the record factor, the answer is somewhat skewed.

Philadelphia 76ers, 11-1, Cleveland Cavaliers, 9-4.

76 people prevailed.

"In the last week of November, as long as the 76ers' record does not decline significantly, the best of the month is likely to be picked up by the Chinese kid and clean up his 'big talk'."

The media here in Los Angeles finally came to such a conclusion.

Time passed, and the week-long event was quickly over.

After losing to the Lakers, the 76ers faced consecutive Western powerhouses, losing two of the three games in the last week of November, and the record became 12-3, and was overtaken by the Celtics, who were 14-1 in the East and started the second wave of their winning streak, and fell to second.

The next game is still not easy, and December is considered to be the "Devil's Month" of Philadelphia by countless fans who have studied the 76ers' schedule. But for now, this record. Enough is enough.

In the first month of the 2007-2008 season, the awards were announced.

Western Conference Player of the Month, Dwight Howard, deservedly deserved 23.9 points, 14.9 rebounds and 2.8 blocks.

Eastern Player of the Month, Chen Mu, 23.7 points, 15.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 steals, overwhelming the crowd.

In Chen Mu's data, the score has increased slightly, and the rebounds, assists, and steals have declined slightly. Fans who watched the game live or videotaped. It doesn't take long to find out why.

The rest of the 76ers' players began to feel up and down.

If a teammate can't score a ball that is passed, it naturally can't be counted as an assist. In the last three matches in November, Chen Mu almost single-handedly fought against his opponents, with Iguodala, Korver, Carney, Louis Williams and others all having a slippery hand.

The 76ers' new lineup has also been thoroughly studied by the opponents, and what is not used to it, and the like does not exist, and it is naturally more comfortable to deal with it.

The weakness of the 76ers. The key is the lack of outside shooters.

Korver is the league's top scorer, and even if his hand drops a little, he can still shoot through a hundred shots. But the three-point shots of Iguodala, Lowry, Carney, Louis Williams and others are not stable, and they come and go. There was a texture. One wave takes away the opponent, there is no feel, and one wave takes away the teammates.

But in any case, Chen Mu. Once again, he completed his big words, and the title of Player of the Month was in hand, and it became the first month of the new season. The best player in the East.

Some fans made a timeline of Chen Mu's performance for more than two seasons, and everyone gasped when they looked closely:

Draft-undrafted, rebounding master, mid-range shooting beauty, super sixth man, best of the week, rebounding king, team core, good back, block talent, steal master, and a back-to-back jumper with no match is in continuous development.

Nowadays, the best of the month.

Chinese boy, the speed of progress is terrible......!

"Treat! YEAH！ ”

The 76ers players who finally returned to Philadelphia naturally had this first reaction after learning the news......

"The task in December is very difficult!"

After a full meal, everyone was chatting about topics of interest to them, and Justin, who was invited to the venue as a "royal reporter and friend", began to mumble about the schedule.

"December 7 against the Spurs, December 10 against the Hornets, December 11 against the Mavericks, December 13 against the Rockets, the first half of the month to play the Southwest Division!"

"Don't read it, okay? I'd like to eat more! Carney vomited.

"It's not over yet." After a long time, Justin also knew that Carney was always fooling around like this, and waved his hand and continued: "The second half of the month is generally okay, but more than half of the opponents are playoff-level teams. Then by the beginning of January, hit the Celts. ”

"Damn!" Carney threw his knife and fork in anger.

"And it's not once, it's two games against the Celtics in half a month, and then there's a bit of a comfortable schedule, and after the All-Star in February, two games against the Celtics in a week, and then there's ......."

"Okay, okay, don't read it, I won't be able to eat if I read it any longer." Iguodala shook her head with a wry smile.

"I asked the seniors at the newspaper, and they all thought that after the December event, we might fall to around seventh or eighth place in the East." Justin was stunned, where would he care about the players' lamentations, and in his words, he directly called the 76ers with "we", which shows that these words are not said as a bystander, in the hearts of the young men, they have long regarded themselves as a part of the 76ers.

"Eighth can't do it, play Celtic in the first round? It's crazy. Carney muttered.

"And what about the seventh? Hit the piston? Iguodala asked.

"The sixth is not easy, I guess I will fight the knights." Lowry smiled wryly.

"And the fifth? It could be the Raptors or the Wizards, we have a good chance. Louis Williams said.

"Why do you want to do so much? Fight hard, fight hard, if you have a good ranking, you will make great progress, and if you are not in a good position, you will go down, dark horse! Chen Mu concluded his statement.

"Below, dark horse!" The players raised their glasses and shouted.

The devil in December has arrived. (To be continued......)
