Chapter 117

The new year begins on New Year's day.

Every team in the NBA must embark on a new journey.

The team that was expected to make it to the playoffs but started badly may have to consider thoroughly putting it down and trying to grab a good signing.

Teams that are expected to enter the playoffs and perform well before the start of the season should continue to work hard to keep the rhythm of victory in the next games until the end of the regular season and break into the playoffs.

Of course, there are also some dark horses that have played an eye-catching performance when they are not favored by others. The Cavaliers are probably such a dark horse team.

Before that, no one could expect that they could turn over in this season and enter the playoffs in the first season when they got the top pick James.

But now, they are really hopeful.

James led the team's performance is really good and has been recognized by more and more people.

Therefore, the eastern best Rookie Award in December is naturally in his bag, and no one can take it away.

No rookie in the East can compete with him, even Wade, who has played a good performance.

As for the best rookie of the month in the west, Anthony is also the winner. He is also a unique rookie in the West.

The media commented that it seems that the competition between the two giants will not end until the end of the regular season. Maybe it is another pair of lifelong enemies.

The media intend to shape the players into an antagonistic relationship, but they don't know that the relationship between the players in private is very good. It's not what the media reports say. If you play, you must kill the other party.

In December, James averaged 24.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals.

The data is further than the previous month. Compared with Anthony's average of 20.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists, it is still better.

A reporter suggested that if we start to select the best rookie of the season now, who will be the final winner between James and Anthony?

The reporter asked and answered himself, saying that from the perspective of fans and the media, James should laugh last and win the Rookie Award of the best season. However, from the perspective of NBA sponsors, James may not win the final award.

Because James's shoe endorsement brand is Li Ning and Anthony's endorsement brand is Nike, Nike's hard work and influence in the NBA is definitely much more than Li Ning.

So it's not safe enough for James to win the best Rookie Award at the end of the season. He needs to play a better performance than Anthony.

The reporter's point of view has been supported by many people, but Nike remains silent. Nike will not jump out and say that it will use their influence to interfere with the vote.

Some things can only be done, not said.

……

……

In the first game of the new year in 2004, the Cavaliers played away against the basketball nets, and James entered overtime for the first time in his career.

He hit a mid-range jump shot at the last minute of the fourth quarter, helping the Cavaliers equalize the score, 82-82, and the two sides entered overtime.

In extra time, James continued to win, scoring 9 points and sending out fatal assists to help Capono win three points and make a good start to the new year 96-93 away.

After the Cavaliers returned home, James led the team to win in a row to help the team win the game against the Raptors.

This time Bosh was pressed on the ground by James and rubbed well. Bosh only got 11 points and 7 rebounds in the whole game, while James scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, winning the game with Carter.

After two consecutive wins, the Cavaliers will usher in a difficult away schedule, six consecutive visitors, with a back-to-back game in the middle.

In these six away games, they will play the Knicks, Celtics, Lakers, supersonics, warriors and jazz in turn.

After playing these six games, it is already mid January.

Six in a row, the New York Knicks.

When James set foot on the Madison garden stadium in New York, many fans cheered him.

These people were conquered by James because of his great performance in Locke park on Christmas Eve.

Yes, a great performance. Many people in the street ball circle think so. James's battle against chili sauce in Locke park is too classic. It can be said to be the most sensational battle in the quiet street ball circle in recent years. Even in the history of street ball in Locke Park, it can definitely rank No. 1.

Otherwise, how could James be considered the new streetball emperor?

If it were just an ordinary war, no one would think so.

Therefore, James now has many fans supporting him in New York City, which has the holy land of basketball Mecca.

Now these fans are cheering for a star of the away team, which seems a little strange, because the fans here are very picky and will not easily recognize and accept a star.

Therefore, neither Anthony nor little overlord Stoudemire has been loved by the fans all the time.

In this game, James felt very good. He also succeeded in breaking through the strong attack basket in the outside line, which can be regarded as a good performance reward to the New York fans who supported him.

However, the New York team was miserable. James led the Cavaliers to rub on the ground and failed to catch up with the score.

At the end of the game, some loyal Knicks fans couldn't see the bad performance of the home team. They booed the home team players and gave applause and cheers to James's goal.

In this game, James scored 41 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 block and 2 steals,

Led the Cavaliers to a 109-93 victory over the Knicks.

If James conquered the street ball fans in New York with great performance in the street ball Holy Land Locke park before, now he also conquered the New York fans with great performance in the basketball Holy Land Madison garden stadium.

There are really few stars who can cut such data in Madison stadium, and it is even less to narrow down to rookies.

Some sports media commentators said that James engraved his name in the city of Mecca with amazing performance. This is a great moment.

It was also said that James completely conquered the basketball fans in New York, including street ball fans.

(it's the fourth day of the holiday, and the mobile phone is still coded on the road. I feel very sour. I start to code as soon as I get on the bus, and then get off at o'clock to play. When I get to the accommodation at night, I bury my head in code. It's really non-stop. It's not easy to keep getting better...)
