Chapter 80 The Battle for Rookie of the Year
After the race against the supersonics, Li He received a very interesting email.
The other party sent the email directly to the Trail Blazers' official email address, or it was relayed to Li He by a staff member.
The content of the mail is as follows:
"Hansen Lee! I absolutely hate you!"
"You scored 47 points against my favorite team, hitting 12 three-pointers. I'll always remember this game and use it as a goal to strive for!"
"Don't retire yet. When I make it to the NBA, I'll score 47 points over you!"
Signed by: Zach LaVine.
Li He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the signature; he hadn't expected Raven to send an email.
Zach LaVine is probably only 8 years old now and is attending elementary school in Seattle.
I never expected that my performance in just one regular season game would break through LaVine's defense.
But it's okay, your brother is a magnanimous person and will give you a chance to get revenge.
……
With the November competition officially concluded.
The awards for the first month of the regular season have also been successfully announced.
The Eastern Conference Player of the Month is Jermaine O'Neal of the Indiana Pacers, who averaged 21.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game.
The Western Conference Player of the Month is Kevin Garnett, who averaged 24.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.4 blocks per game.
Both players delivered extremely strong performances in the first month of the new season, with the Pacers and Timberwolves ranking first in the Eastern and Western Conferences, respectively.
As for the Rookie of the Month award, there is even less controversy.
The Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month is LeBron James, who is averaging 20.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game.
The highly anticipated "chosen one" has shown remarkable performance in his first month in the NBA, giving people great hope for his future.
However, even with James' outstanding performance, he still falls short of the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award.
Li He won the Western Conference Player of the Month award with an average of 28.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game!
At the same time, a system notification sounded:
"Congratulations, host, for winning the [Rookie of the Month] award! Your progress has increased from 8% to 44%!"
[Rookie of the Month] He was astonished by the huge improvement.
With the third template in hand, his progress in training and matches became increasingly slow.
"It seems I need to earn more honors to unlock more one-on-one duels," Li He thought.
Li He's performance also caused a huge stir in the basketball world.
What does it mean for a rookie to average 28.3 points per game in his first month?
Even a player as great as Michael Jordan only averaged 26.3 points per game in his first month as an NBA rookie.
When the data was released, fans and media outlets engaged in heated discussions.
Who is the Rookie of the Year: Hansen Lee, LeBron James, or Carmelo Anthony?
2003届选秀是当之无愧的大年，卡梅隆·安东尼场均也能贡献19.7分5.9篮板2.8助攻，德维恩·韦德场均15分以上，克里斯·波什也能拿下11分7篮板的数据。
As things stand, only Li He, James, and Anthony are capable of competing for this honor.
Unfortunately, the Nuggets are in the Western Conference, and Anthony seemed somewhat powerless against Li He, whose statistics were overwhelming.
The question went viral among fans and the media, with many people joining the discussion.
Some people believe that LeBron James is the best rookie, because he is more versatile, has explosive physical talent, is full of violent aesthetics, and has more room for growth;
Some also believe that Li He is the best rookie this year, since the "best rookie" award is based solely on current performance, not future results.
With an average of 28.3 points per game in his first month as a rookie, Hansen Lee's dazzling playing style, textbook shooting, and explosive scoring ability are simply the Michael Jordan of Asian descent!
Those who support James started to refute him by bringing up Li He's off-court issues.
It is said that Li He is a problematic player who cannot carry the team at all. His performance is just a flash in the pan and he will be proven wrong in the future.
The two groups then engaged in a heated argument online.
Gradually, LeBron's supporters realized they couldn't win the argument against him.
Because of the inexplicable influx of Hansen Li's supporters, they have been relentlessly attacking and suppressing the LeBron faction on various forums.
Li He's data is strong enough to be described as overwhelming, which makes his supporters even more confident.
Their reasoning was simple: Li He had better stats and led the Trail Blazers to a crushing victory over the Cavaliers.
That's right, this is the mysterious power from the East.
Since Yao Ming made a brilliant performance in the NBA, Chinese basketball fans have been united and incredibly active.
Li He's sudden emergence brought the atmosphere of Chinese basketball to another climax.
In this situation, the rivalry between Li He and James garnered support from many hometown fans.
Not only basketball fans, but even football and table tennis fans came to support the event!
A few days later.
In ESPN's Rookie of the Year rankings, Li He has surpassed James to take the top spot.
This greatly displeased James, who has always been very self-confident.
He's been surrounded by accolades all the way to where he is now, yet he's been overshadowed by Hansen Lee?
This unscientific!
When the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers faced off, their stats were almost identical, right?
In a pre-game interview, when asked about "Rookie of the Year," James responded as follows:
"Whether on or off the court, I will do my best so that I can become a better player."
These words are quite clearly sarcastic.
It means that while Hansen Lee performs well on the field, he is terrible off the field and cannot be compared to me.
Li He also sent a message from afar after learning the news:
"Basketball is a competitive sport, and performing well on the court is the most important thing. When you can't perform well, you shouldn't focus on other things."
The simplified version means: if you're bad at something, practice more!
In any case, the seeds of discord between the two have been sown.
Li He is also looking forward to the next game against the Cavaliers. He will definitely go all out and let young LeBron James taste what cruelty is.
……
The regular season continues.
12 month 7 number.
The Trail Blazers hosted the Houston Rockets at home.
The two teams faced off in the preseason, when Li He scored 38 points with 10 three-pointers, dominating Francis throughout the game.
The regular season rematch of the Chinese derby promises to be a highly anticipated and exciting event.
Francis, on the other hand, was holding his breath, wanting to regain face with Hansen Lee.
Before the match, Li He and Yao Ming greeted each other in a friendly manner and chatted together.
The two had a good relationship to begin with, and Yao Ming was genuinely happy for Li He's performance.
"What have you been up to lately? Have you settled into NBA life yet?" Yao Ming asked with concern.
Li He covered his mouth and whispered, "To be honest, I've been dabbling in stocks lately."
Upon hearing this, Yao Ming's face showed worry. Li He was so young, and it was not safe for him to get involved in stocks so soon after making some money.
Therefore, the following suggestion was given:
"Xiao Li, I think you should focus on basketball. Stocks are a bit complicated. You can hire a financial advisor when you have more money in the future."
Li He, however, said with a grin:
"Brother Yao, $20 is just a small gamble. I'll recommend you buy NetEase stock, you're welcome."
Yao Ming was speechless. No, you've really taken this to heart.
