Chapter 112 The Best Rookie Battle

"It was a frustrating game, it was a nightmare, and in the last quarter, we gave them 44 points...... That kid's luck is simply too good, and I don't want to encounter such a day again in the future. ”

- This is what Big Ben Wallace said in a post-match interview after the game.

…………

"There is no doubt that it was a fantastic game, leading, equalising, reversing, dunking, thigh-hugging, defining! If you put aside the teams they support, the fans have completely earned back the ticket price.

Li Feng is very remarkable, he is undoubtedly the biggest hero of the game, his dunk, crushed the Pistons, and captured the Auburn Hills Palace Arena! Only Li Feng is the leader of the Knicks, there is no doubt about it! ”

—The New York Times

"It was a great game, a battle between two declining teams...... Before the game, no one was bullish on the Knicks, however, they won, they won, and they put on a great show at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena! They deserve this victory, the Chinese striker is the hero of the Knicks, that's a fact! ”

- New York Sports Newspaper

"The aura of luck is still continuing, today the Detroit people are obviously not in shape, the reversal of 25 points is just an accident, God will not always spoil this arrogant Chinese boy, 35 points, this is Li Feng's highest score!"

—The New York Post

"The Knicks won, this game is too worrying, D'Antoni's tactics are executed perfectly, I have to admit that the Chinese was the best player yesterday, his arrogance, his ferocity, paradoxical, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Knicks!"

—The New York Chronicle

…………

Whether it's a sour tone or a genuine liking, this focus is undoubtedly Li Feng, a 19-year-old young man.

Li Feng's game is ironclad proof, and even the New York Chronicle has changed its usual hostile tone, while other media have praised it.

On the ESPN side, Brussard was directly silent, and Simmons played his "poisonous tongue" to make a sharp counterattack.

"35 points, 22 points in a single quarter, in the game to blow up the famous defensive Tysha Imprins, four-time best defensive player Ben Wallace has nothing to do with Li Feng, I really don't know why some people are so jealous of this excellent young man, in the Knicks game, he dominated the game, 19 years old, even a blind man can see that his future is bright, such a player, abuse, sarcasm, belittlement, is undoubtedly showing his lower IQ!"

ESPN expert Rick Buche also showed a clear appreciation for Li Feng, and Brussard became the object of his sarcasm, writing:

"Some people fall down in the face of doubts, and some people are getting stronger and stronger in the face of doubts, Li Feng is such a person, he just came to New York from Memphis, and he offended the fans because of a sentence, questioning, criticizing, and belittling ...... All kinds of negative news, but, how is he, he is getting better and better, killing the Spurs, reversing the Pistons, some people's faces have been beaten red unconsciously, I want to know, what else can't he do? ”

……

After the whistle blew at the end of the game, Kuster drilled his head into the player's tunnel without looking back, and the Pistons coach was very dissatisfied and angry.

The reporters in the press box who saw this scene muttered,

"Tsk, there's a lot of buzz in the Pistons' locker room."

"Guess who's going to be the unluckiest guy?"

There are journalists gloating.

However, Kuster stood at the foot of the steps of the players' corridor and glanced at the stadium with a meaningful look, of course the reporters did not notice, otherwise, these guys would have been even more excited.

……

The next few games will be in 2010, and the New York Knicks will continue to be in high form, beating the visiting Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings at home, and back-to-back victories over the Wizards and Portland Trail Blazers. …,

At this time, the league announced the best rookie of the first week of December of the 2009-2010 season, and Li Feng of the New York Knicks and Blake of the Los Angeles Clippers were selected as the best rookie players in the East and West respectively.

It was the first official honor of Li Feng's NBA career, and like the first snow of 2002, it came a little later.

A rookie of the week, Li Feng's performance in the Grizzlies is not that he is not eligible to be elected, but in terms of data, Li Feng suffers more.

This year's rookies, from the first Blake Griffin to the seventh Stephen Corey, are all Western players, and among them, Griffin, Evans, Corey and Li Feng performed very well, when he was in the Grizzlies, Li Feng did not have playing time in the Knicks, and could not compete with Griffin's 20+10, Evans's 20+5+5 and Corey's 19+7.

And the Grizzlies team, although they have a better record than the Kings, because Gasol has always been a fish belly image since he left, even the same data will suffer some dark losses, not to mention that the data is worse than them.

Now, as soon as Li Feng arrives in New York, he has become the absolute core, and there is no need to worry about playing time and shooting rights at all, Li Feng's various statistics have been refreshed again and again, coupled with New York's status as a big city, he deserves to be the best rookie in the East last week.

In last week's game, Li Feng averaged 22.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.7 blocks per game, leading the New York Knicks to win all four games.

Griffin's record is also gratifying, with the Clippers going 3-1 last week, averaging 24.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, and also beating Evans and Corey to be named the Rookie of the Year award.

As soon as this week's rookie of the week was announced, it was instantly used by sensitive media, East Li Feng and West Griffin became the keynote of this year's rookies, Evans and Corey were both pressed down by the two, who can become this year's best rookie, or optimistic about Li Feng, or optimistic about Griffin!

At this moment, it reminds people of the best rookie competition in 02, when it was the battle between Yao Ming and Xiao Si, and there was also a strong opponent like Caron Butler next to him at that time, whether Li Feng and Yao Ming were defeated, or Li Feng defeated Griffin, this is not what American fans care about the most, but what Chinese fans care about!

Li Feng has become the second person in NBA China, although he has not been able to threaten Yao Ming's status for the time being, but this season Yao Ming has been reimbursed for the whole season, and the major media have opened a special page for Li Feng, plus the "Feng Team" public relations is effective, and various media have made detailed reports on Li Feng, although exaggeration is inevitable, but the big media is more objective, and has not produced the role of "high-end black".

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Li Feng's strength, he deserves these praises!

A big reason why the media is so hyped is that in a few days, the New York Knicks will challenge the Los Angeles Clippers on the road, and the best rookies in the East and West will have the most direct collision!
