Chapter 617 The Rise of Chinese Basketball (31)

In addition to them, several other Chinese players also performed very well in their respective teams.

Zhu Fangyu has already secured the Cavaliers' starting small forward position at the beginning of this season.

Accurate 3-pointers and fierce defense are magic weapons for Zhu Fangyu to settle down.

Although the leader of the Cavaliers is Ricky Davis, and he is also the team's number one scorer, Zhu Fangyu can often play beautiful games that cover up Ricky Davis's brilliance.

In December, Zhu Fangyu hit 12+ three times, and he must score a three-pointer in each game.When Zhu Fangyu made a free throw, the fans in Cleveland shouted cordially and enthusiastically: "Zhu! Zhu! Zhu!"

Although he is so popular, Zhu Fangyu still remembers the teaching of a certain senior and maintains a humble attitude.

When facing interviews, he often said to reporters, "I can perform so well today because of the credit of our captain Ricky. It is because of his continuous teaching on and off the court that I have such a performance on the court." . I want to thank him."

Ricky Davis also laughed so hard that his mouth would split open. He often said in the media: "Zhu is my best helper!"

.

Butt of the Mavericks has become the defensive gate in the rotation lineup. He has shown excellent defensive ability in the matchup between the substitute and the substitute from time to time.When partnering with Nash in the pick-and-roll, his excellent mid-range and long-range shots made Dallas people like it very much.

When he played against the Lakers in early December, Bart knocked O'Neal to the ground.And in that game, Bart and Nash picked and rolled, hitting large two-pointers and three-pointers from the outside in a row.Bart made O'Neal's scalp numb from the shot, and scored a career-high 12 points to help the team win the Lakers.

It was also in this game that Bart became famous.

After the game, reporters also surrounded Bart.

A reporter asked Bart: "Do you think you are better or Shaq?"

Bart's answer was this: "Shaq is really good, he can bully the Grizzlies' Pau Gasol, he can wreak havoc on the Clippers inside, he can knock Dikembe into the air, he's a giant at the basket Ba, he can do anything."

Bart praised O'Neill for a while, and the reporters also thought that Bart, like many Chinese, was humble and sensible.

However, at this moment, Bart suddenly said:
"But! So what? I'm stronger than him, I shoot more accurately than him, I can shoot three-pointers, can he? So, of course I'm the stronger one!"

"Wow!"

Such a turning point of Bart also has countless fans.

Because of this, Dallas people gave But a kind nickname, called "But".

.

Du Feng, who had just joined the Raptors, was also reused by Lenny Wilkens and became a backup power forward.

In December, Du Feng also scored 12 points in double figures for the first time, plus 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

Raptors coach Lenny Wilkens is also very fancy to Du Feng.Recently, Du Feng's playing time has been slowly increasing.

.

Xue Yuyang of the Eagles is a player who can't sit on the bench of the Eagles, and there are not many opportunities to play. In the 12 games in December, he played 14 games, and he played more or less time in each game.

However, every chance he gets, he'll show off his dunks.

Crotch dunk, folding back buckle, big windmill.
Although it is not as brilliant as Carter's Li Nan, it is really not bad.

Eagles fans are also very fond of this big man who loves to show off, and they have suggested that the league invite Xue Yuyang to participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

.

As for Wang Dazhi of the Nuggets, his performance is still so good.

Averaged 13.4 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

If it weren't for the fact that the Nuggets had too many scorers and Wang Dazhi had too few shots, he would definitely have a better performance.

Head coach D'Antoni once approached Wang Dazhi and wanted to take him away with him, but Wang Dazhi hesitated.

Leave the Nuggets?He was a little bit sad.

However, if he doesn't leave, he will always be under Xiao Li's wing in the Nuggets.

Of course, leaving may be worse than being in the Nuggets.

Wang Dazhi hasn't made up his mind yet.

The New Year's Day in 2003 came so fast!
On New Year's Day, the NBA officially announced the player of the month for December.

West Li Nan, from the Denver Nuggets!

Eastern Yao Liang, from the Washington Wizards!
And in the latest official list of the best rookies, Liu Wei airborne at No.3 on the list!
Ahead of him are Amare Stoudemire and Caron Butler.

The names of the three Chinese players appeared together in the eyes of the American public, but they did not raise any objections to this.On the contrary, some feel lost and frustrated.

"The best of the two months was given to the Chinese? Oh Mygold! Unbelievable! Where have all our players gone?"

"The next time the dream team meets the Chinese team, will they still lose?"

"Lee and Yao did play very well, but, what I want to say is, Kobe, Allen, Tim, Michael, where have you been?"

At such a juncture, TNT's basketball commentator Marv Albert also specially organized a program on the TV program.The title of the show is: "The Rise of Chinese Basketball."

"This episode is about the Chinese players who are playing better and better in the NBA. In the past December, we have heard too much news about them. Why did they suddenly appear? ? Let’s talk about it today.”

Old Jim also specially sorted out the information of 8 Chinese players, and he is going to introduce and analyze them one by one.

"Li, we know too much about Li, so I won't talk about it here. Let's talk about his teammates in the national team."

"Wang! It's a pity that Wang is a player in my opinion. He really has too few opportunities in the Nuggets. He is completely overshadowed by Lee and his teammates. If there are more opportunities, he will perform. Better. In my opinion, at least, he's no worse than Dirk."

"Yao is definitely an All-Star player now. He is one of the few big men in the league who can compete with Shaq. It would be wonderful if the All-Stars can see the match between Yao and Shaq this year."

"Zhu is an excellent shooter. If you give him enough opportunities, I don't think he is worse than Richard Hamilton of the Nuggets."

"Liu came up from the NBDL league. His basic skills are very solid. He has all the advantages of a traditional point guard."

"."

"After analyzing so many Chinese players, we will analyze one characteristic. Their basic skills are solid! Whether they are big or small, their basic skills such as shooting and dribbling are very solid.

Of course, more than that, they worked very hard on the court and played very hard.

Why can the Chinese men's basketball team win the runner-up of the World Championships?
That's why. "

This is a program that analyzes Chinese players, but it is also a program that criticizes young American players for not working hard enough.

As for whether young people in the United States will be stimulated to work hard, it is hard to say
