Chapter 57
【57】Superstars explode!
The youngest 50-point player?!
Who?!
Su Mo?!
No.
It's Jennings.
That's right.
It's this year's tenth pick, Brandon Jennings.
Since his debut with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, he has become the rookie that the league focuses on. In the second and third games, he also averaged 22+7+7. No matter how you look at it, he is an All-Star guard.
If it weren't for Su Mo's aura, Jennings would definitely be the most popular player among the rookies. Even if he faced the"No. 1 pick" Griffin, he would be even more popular.
And just last night.
In the Bucks vs. Wizards matchup, he exploded, completely exploded. He shot
20 of 34 shots, 6 of 7 three-pointers, and 5 of 8 free throws. With a shooting percentage of 58.3% and a terrifying 85.7% three-point shooting percentage, he scored 51 points.
Even if 7 Wizards scored in double digits and 3 of them scored 20+, they couldn't win the game.
Jennings.
He became famous in one battle.
He scored 50+ points at the age of 20 years and 49 days, breaking the 50+ points set by LeBron James at the age of 20 years and 80 days in the 04/05 season, becoming the youngest 50-point player in NBA history. As soon as this report came out, the league was shaken.
The whole city was in an uproar.
The praise for Jennings overshadowed Su Mo, who scored 40+ in three consecutive games.
After all, this era is not the era of small ball, and it is not easy to score 50 points in a single game. Coupled with Jennings' rookie status, it caused such a sensation.
"Jennings is the best rookie!"
An excited Bucks fan made such a controversial comment, which undoubtedly caused controversy among countless players.
"Haha, you dare to say that Su Mo is worse than Jennings after only scoring 50+ points in one game. I really laughed. Who gave you the confidence?!"
"Yes"
"Oh, I think you are just jealous, no exaggeration, 50 points in a single game, surpassing LeBron James, becoming the youngest 50-point player in the NBA. Just based on this point, Jennings is better than Su Mo"
"That's all you can say."
"Damn, Su Mo's NBA debut even surpassed Zhang Dashuai's"
"......"
This controversial topic has caused the fans to argue
"Stop arguing. There are still 3 games left before the Warriors and the Bucks face off. Who is stronger? When the two meet head-on, the winner will be clear."
""Okay."
Some fans tried to smooth things over, and the controversy gradually subsided.
However, everyone really focused on the matchup between the Warriors and the Bucks. Everyone wanted to see who was stronger between the youngest player to score 50 points, Su Mo, and the player who scored 40+ in three games, and who was the strongest rookie of the"09 Silver" generation.
When Jennings caused a stir, Griffin, the"No. 1 pick" who was destined to have a place this season, was not idle either. He was not as explosive as Jennings last night, but he also scored 25+15+5 all-around data.
Although the Clippers lost the game, in the last quarter, a brutal dunk on the opponent's center gradually made his name"White Beast" surface.
It also let the league know that he is indispensable in the competition for the best rookie.
Under them,
Curry played the best, averaging 18.2 points + 4.1 rebounds + 7.1 assists per game, firmly sitting in the starting position.
In addition,
DeRozan, Rubio, Harden, Holiday, Although Teague and others are not as explosive as Su Mo, Griffin and others, their performance is remarkable.
Last year's rookies, led by Rose and Westbrook, were quite popular.
This year, because of Su Mo and Jennings, the attention and popularity are undoubtedly more explosive, making fans sigh that this year's rookie monsters are emerging.
At the beginning of the season.
Rookies scored 30+, 40+, and 50+ points in an endless stream, as if giving people an illusion that the NBA stage is completely dominated by this year's rookies?!
No.
Of course not.
Or in other words, the superstars of the major teams disagree.
Wade, who just won the scoring title last year, should not be underestimated in the new season. After playing 4 games, Wade averaged 29.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. He led the Heat to win 3 of them.
Durant of the Thunder has played 4 games so far this season. Although he has only won 2 of them,......Averaging 36.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
It's terrifying.
In his rookie season in 2007, he averaged 20.4 points per game, and last year he averaged 25.3 points per game. This year, he directly soared to 36.5 points. Durant is extremely talented, and his growth is shocking. Averaging
35.5 points per game.
It also makes Durant rank second in the scoring list, second only to Su Mo who averages 42 points per game.
In addition.
After defeating the Jazz last night.
Durant was interviewed, and the reporter asked:"Mr. Kevin, you are in great shape this season, averaging 36.5 points per game, ranking second in the league"
"Second only to rookie Su Mo"
"The Thunder's next opponent is the Warriors. What do you want to say to Su Mo, who scored higher than you?!"
Su Mo?
Durant frowned almost the moment he heard the name. Thinking of the humiliation in the archery hall, his mind got hot and he said quietly,"There's nothing to say. He's just a rookie. He's not worth my attention."
"If we meet him?"
