Chapter 187 Best Rookie Of The Month (5/5)

Chapter 187 Best Rookie of the Month (55)

After supper, Yi Jianlian sent Tang Tian to the hotel, and then went back.

Seeing Cayenne disappear from his sight, Tang Tian also looked back.

To be honest, although Tang Tian lived a lifetime, he is still a very patriotic person in his bones.

A country is like a university. You can criticize it, but never allow others to say a bad word about it. You can complain about it, but you definitely hope that it will become better.

Yi Jianlian is the core of the national men's basketball team. Tang Tian also coached the national team in his previous life, so he naturally hopes that it will become better.

After the Dallas game, the Spurs then set off on a plane to Philadelphia.

Compared with when they came to Dallas, the team members were much quieter at this time, mainly resting.

For the Spurs, the most torturous aspect of the lockout season is the back-to-back games, which is not very friendly to an aging team like them.

The 76ers have entered the post-Iverson era, and the core of the team is "little AI" Iguodala.

However, the strength of Jrue Holiday and Louis Williams this season, plus Turner, Vucevic and other high-quality rookies, the competitiveness is not small.

Tang Tian also met his old acquaintance, Lavoy Allen, who also ran for the election this year, but was selected by the 76ers with the 50th overall pick.

In the back-to-back games, the Spurs were obviously out of shape. They were beaten by the opponent in the fourth quarter, and finally lost to the opponent 92-100.

Although he lost, Tang Tian's performance was relatively stable, scoring 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in 25 minutes of playing.

That's basically how he's been playing for the Spurs.

This kind of performance even surprised the Spurs coaching staff. They rarely see a rookie who can play so steadily.

The last one was Tim Duncan, they used it for almost 20 years.

The schedule is dense, there are many back-to-back games, Ginobili has not yet come back, the Spurs' record in January has some ups and downs, but the overall performance is still very good.

Time flies, and it is February in a blink of an eye.

The Spurs' record so far is 16 wins and 6 losses, beating the Thunder with half a win record and still sitting first in the Western Conference.

This kind of record also attracted a burst of emotion from fans on ins.

"Didn't the Spurs get older again? Why is it that after a month of games, they are still number one in the Western Conference?"

"It cannot be ignored. There are a lot of back-to-back games this season, which has a great impact on the performance of the Spurs. Their record could have been better."

"Manu has also been on a truce for almost a month, and their record could have been better."

"Speaking of which, why is the Thunder so disappointing? This should have been their season."

"Look, the Thunder will soon be No. 1 in the Western Conference!"

"This seems to be the Durant Trumpet?"

"..."

"Why doesn't he change to another trumpet? ┑(￣Д￣)┍"

"Maybe he is too lazy to change it? After all, it is quite troublesome to register this thing."

...

The day ended with the home game against the Jazz, and the Spurs raised their win again.

Tang Tian came out of the shower.

"Godfather, you have to treat us to dinner." Ginobili shouted at him.

Tang Tian had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Congratulations, Don." Parker smiled and came over to give him a hug.

"What happened?" Tang Tian was at a loss. Could it be that just now Popovich came in and said he was going to start the next game?

No, things like starting the game are usually only mentioned before the game.

"The league just announced that you are the best rookie of the first month." Green was still a good person, and he got up and said to Tang Tian.

In a normal season, the league's first Rookie of the Month award is December, but because of the lockout, this has become January.

A smile appeared on Tang Tian's face, and he was in a good mood.

Irving is the best performer among rookies, but he is in the East.

The rookies in the East, like Marshan Brooks, Walker, Tristan Thompson, etc., were basically overwhelmed by him.

But in the west, the competition is relatively fierce.

Ricky Rubio, who landed after a two-year delay, Derrick Williams, the No. 4 pick, Klay Thompson, who is getting better and better, Faried, the "Orc" of the Nuggets, and the Kings' sudden emergence little thomas.

It was not easy for Tang Tian to stand out against all the rookies.

This has a lot to do with the Spurs' first record in the league, but Tang Tian's performance is definitely worthy of this honor.

In 13 games played by the Spurs in January, Tang Tian averaged 23.2 minutes per game, scored 13.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 48% from the field and 50% from the three-point range. Second only to Irving, he ranks first among rookies in steals, and ranks third in the league in three-point shooting percentage.

And the three-point shooting rate, because of the rise in the tactical status of the Spurs, he took more three-point shots, and his shooting rate fell naturally.

Reggie Jackson wants to make the 23 teams that didn't choose him regret, but judging from his performance, there is still a long way to go.

But Tang Tian's performance has already made the other 29 teams in the league start to regret it.

This is only a second-round pick!

Even the Spurs only spent 1 million to buy this draft pick, and every team actually has a chance!

Of course, what I regret most is the Heat and Timberwolves. One could have been won steadily, and the other was given away for $1 million.

"Please, of course please, I'll make lunch tomorrow." Tang Tian said bluntly.

If there is an opportunity to build a good relationship with his teammates, of course he will not refuse.

There was a whistle in the locker room, obviously it was the first time they had seen such a heroic rookie like Tang Tian.

Not long after Tang Tian sat down, he received a text message from the alliance official.

"Mr. Tang Tian, ​​congratulations on becoming the Rookie of the Month in the Western Conference in January of the 2011~2012 NBA season. You can choose the following ways to receive the trophy.

1. We express to the team;

2. Awarded in home matches;

3. Go to the alliance headquarters to pick it up, address: "Olympic Tower" Building, 645 Fifth Avenue, New York. "

This is the first time Tang Tian has received such a text message. The professionalism of the NBA is indeed the best in the world.

Because the Spurs will fly to New York to play the Knicks in the next game, he directly chose the third option.

After he chose for a while, he replied with a detailed collection process.

Including how to get to the headquarters, the contact person after arriving, etc., are very detailed.

Tang Tian put away his phone, remembering that he hadn't contacted Olsen for a while, and sent her a text message, saying that he would go to New York to play a game in two days.

After he changed his clothes, Olson's text message had already returned.

It turned out that she was already familiar with the script of "The Martian" during this time.

It seems that with a basic framework given by Tang Tian, ​​Ridley Scott has already finished the script, and the progress of the movie should be much faster than expected.
