Chapter 67 Rookie of the Week? Player of the Week!

"Is the Lakers' era of dominating the Western Conference over?"

"A disappointing game, the Lakers no longer look like the dynasty team they were!"

"Maggie's performance is disappointing, when will the Lakers welcome the next Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?"

…

The SuperSonics' victory over the Lakers caused a huge stir among NBA fans and media circles. The competition between the two teams was very popular. Everyone expected it to be a battle between Mars and the Earth. Anyone who watched the entire game

Fans, no one is disappointed with the Lakers' performance.

Although the Lakers did not lose much, only losing by 8 points at the end of the game, no one who has watched the game can say "only lost by 8 points".

Needless to say, the two teams made free throws at 10:24. Of the 22 points that Maggi scored, 11 came from free throws. In addition, this was the result of Maggi playing 35 minutes.

On the opposite side, who are the people who have been playing the Sonics for a long time?

Among the SuperSonics' main players, Lu Feng, who played the longest time, only played 28 minutes in the battle against the Lakers. SuperSonics' rising star Kemp only played 26 minutes.

Sam Perkins, a little transparent among North Carolina's junior juniors. In the past few years, apart from following Jordan and Worthy as their little brother and riding on their popularity, has he had any highlights?

Until now, his most memorable highlight moment is the key rebound he grabbed in the 1984 NCAA finals. And then? Gone!

Ron Harper is a bastard who can't win games while leading a team. The Mavericks themselves couldn't stand him, so they traded him to the SuperSonics to start rebuilding.

The remaining people are either short or slow. They can be called a concentration camp for the NBA's weird player awards. They have everything, and they are still a group of rookies!

The Lakers are being beaten by the SuperSonics. To describe it in one sentence: Don’t be shy~

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not expect that less than two years after his retirement, his historical status would be elevated by Magee. First, he was swept by the Phoenix Suns in the second round of last season. Then, just as he was about to improve this season, he was immediately swept by Lu.

Kaede punched the prototype with supersonic speed.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked at the endless interview invitations and smiled with joy.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Yes, I used to be on C for the Lakers, and Maji is a Der~

The Lakers rely entirely on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in C. This is really no joke. Although Ma Ji just came to the Lakers in his second season, he stole Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's boss, but in the playoffs, it is often Kareem who can stand up at critical moments.

Barr.

In the 1987-88 season when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's condition declined significantly, the Lakers stumbled into the Finals. Facing the aggressive Bad Boys, they were beaten 4-0.

After the finals that year, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired directly, and in the past two years, Ma Ji immediately proved with actions: Brother, we really can't do it without you!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had just come out of an interview show and rushed to the next announcement...

Sitting in the car, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar thought to himself: He is indeed my little brother. Even after I retired, I still haven’t forgotten to use this method to support myself.

After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got out of the car and entered the stadium, he unexpectedly saw a person - Lu Feng!

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment when he saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He looked at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was coming with a strange expression on his face. He recalled the various filming interviews in the past two days and thought to himself: I probably haven't said anything bad about the Lakers in the past two days.

…

If there is a conflict later, what should I do? Should I fight back, or should I fight back?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar walked up to Lu Feng, with a bright smile on his face, patted Lu Feng's shoulders with both hands, and said, "Lark, that's good, you're very good!"

Lu Feng:???

He originally thought that Lakers fans were cheating, but he didn't expect that not only the fans, but also the Lakers stars were cheating!

Then, Lu Feng and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar participated in a sports and entertainment talk show, making all kinds of shady remarks about the Lakers.

Lu Feng: I am the number one point guard in the league, Ma Ji is not good at all!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Ma Ji is a Der, he has disgraced Zijin Glory!

After defeating the Lakers, the SuperSonics have won 6 consecutive victories, and Lu Feng's popularity has become even more popular.

After the game, no one from the Sonics returned to Seattle, and everyone was participating in various interviews and talk shows.

Why is Los Angeles so popular with NBA stars? In addition to the busty girls and various colorful and unique nightclubs that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Los Angeles, the most important point is that Los Angeles is the city of ugly entertainment.

As long as a well-known football star comes to Los Angeles, in addition to daily fun, he can also participate in various activities and earn a lot of money during his trip.

It’s no wonder that most Los Angeles fans are fun-loving people. You can see all kinds of stars appearing on the show every day. Whether or not you support your home team doesn’t seem to be that important.

Lu Feng is very popular, not only because the Sonics are currently undefeated, but also because he has a good chance of being selected as the NBA Player of the Week in the first week.

Not counting the previous game against the Bulls, in the previous week, the SuperSonics had won all five games, and many of their opponents were traditional strong teams like the Lakers.

The Bulls led by Jordan were not to be outdone. After losing to the Sonics, they went on to win 5 games. However, the only problem for the Bulls was that they only played 4 games in the previous week, one less than the Sonics.

However, in terms of personal data, Jordan has the upper hand. In 4 games, Jordan averaged 31 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Although the SuperSonics have a better record, Lu Feng except for the first game against the Bulls

Outside of the games, he didn't take many shots. After playing the 5 games in the previous week, he only averaged 27.2 points, 2 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.

Even including the game with the Bulls, he only averaged 30.5 points, 2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. His statistics are also not as good as Jordan's.

If you hadn't watched the various singles matches between Lu Feng and Jordan in the first game and looked at the data alone, you wouldn't be able to tell that the two are players of the same level.

The main reason for the decline in Lu Feng's statistics is that he doesn't take too many chances. For Lu Feng, just playing a few games in the regular season is enough. Rather than brushing up his own statistics, the key is to work with the team and help his teammates improve.

One week after the start of the new season, many rookies in the 1990s who were named the "Diamond Generation" by the media performed well. Berg Kim Bell established a firm foothold in the Nuggets, and Gathers was highly regarded by the Magic as soon as he arrived.

With high expectations, he was directly promoted to the team boss. In addition, players such as Chris Jackson, Kendall Gill, and Derek Coleman also performed well. In the first week, they all averaged more than 15 points per game.

point.

But compared with Lu Feng's strong record of leading the SuperSonics to defeat the Bulls and Lakers, the others are obviously a level lower. Their statistics and records cannot compare with Lu Feng.

The day after meeting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the league announced the first Player of the Week for the new season.

Countless people are looking forward to whether Lu Feng can win the Player of the Week award.

Since the league established the Player of the Week and Player of the Month in the 1979-80 season, no rookie has ever won the Player of the Week and Player of the Month in the first week.

Magic and Bird won Player of the Week and Player of the Month awards as soon as they entered the league, but Moji didn't receive Player of the Week until the fourth week.

If Lu Feng can win the Best of the Week, then there is no doubt that he will be the first person to do this!

After anxious waiting, the league finally announced the player of the week. In the 1990-91 season, the person who won the player of the week in the first week was-Lu Feng!

Lu Feng: Yes, it’s me!

Lu Feng won the first Player of the Week of the season, and his popularity was at its peak. However, this time he was unable to continue to take advantage of the Player of the Week to make money because the SuperSonics' next game was about to start.

The Sonics' next opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers!

The game is still in Los Angeles, which is the biggest reason why the SuperSonics did not return to Seattle after beating the Lakers.

After Lu Feng looked at the Clippers roster before, he remembered that Payton was on the Clippers.

No wonder Payton has been shouting at him in various ways. The biggest reason is that he is backed by the big city of Los Angeles and appears on the show more frequently than he does.

Lu Feng won the Best of the Week, and the media and fans became even more crazy. Many people from the 1990s performed outstandingly in the past week. Lu Feng also won the Best of the Week in history, and many other people from the 90th class also won the award.

Lu Feng’s light is highly recognized.

Gathers, Kim Bell, Kendall Gill, Chris Jackson...well, why didn't I see Payton's name?

Lu Feng checked the Clippers' previous game statistics and found that the team's record was 0-5, another bad year. No wonder.

What about Payton?

Started 5 games, averaged 28 minutes per game, scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. The only bright spot was that he averaged 2 steals per game.

Look at his three shooting percentages: 45%, 8%, 70%...

This is Payton, the legendary "Glove," that's it?

(In his rookie season, Payton averaged 7.2 points, 3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game, with three shooting percentages: 45%, 7.7%, and 71.1%. His numbers only started to explode in his fourth grade.)

Before the game between the two teams, Payton pulled two former SuperSonics bosses, Darle Ellis and Xavier McDaniel, and made all kinds of irritating remarks to Lu Feng and the SuperSonics in front of the media.

Then came the day of the competition...

"Larry, why have you become shorter again?"

"Shit Luck, shut up!"

"Then let me put it another way, if I give you two steps, do you dare to shoot?"

"No...it's just shooting. Why don't you dare!"

84:67……

Is this the result of the score between the two teams after the third quarter, or the result of the SuperSonics starting lineup only playing three quarters?

Darle Ellis shoots accurately. Although he looks like a dark and tough guy, he is actually a big forward who likes to shoot from the outside. He is extremely slow and doesn't like to block positions and grab rebounds.

Xavier McDaniel is indeed tough enough and willing to do the dirty work, but he is a blue-collar man without a basket. Once he is squeezed into the mid-range, he becomes a psychopath. In addition, his touch is not good in this game.

How come there is no such thing as a mid-range shot?

In this game, the SuperSonics decided to practice their positional warfare, and also made a small adjustment to the lineup, moving Sam Perkins to the 4th position and letting the taller Kemp play the 3rd position.

Bit.
