On March 2, the NbA official website announced the winners of major awards in February. The Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month was won by Bobcats rookie Kemba Walker.
The competition for Western Conference Rookie of the Month is a bit fierce. In the February game, Klay Thompson continued to perform exceptionally, breaking Irving's monopoly on the Western Conference Rookie of the Month, and successfully won the Rookie of the Month.
Although Irving failed to continue to win the Rookie of the Month, he still ranked first on the rookie list, and other rookies could not shake this guy's position at all.
It can be said that as long as Irving performs normally in the next game, the Rookie of the Year award is basically certain. The Eastern Conference Player of the Month was won by LeBron James of the Heat.
In the February game, the little emperor averaged 24.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, leading the Heat to an excellent record of 11 wins and 2 losses, and deservedly won the Player of the Month award.
There is still no suspense about the Western Conference Player of the Month, and Sun Yi continues to win this honor. In the February game, Sun Yi averaged a near-triple-double of 28.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, leading the Warriors to a 14-0 record.
If the Player of the Month is not awarded to Sun Yi, it will undoubtedly be Chi Guoguo's shady story. Of course, where there are people there are bound to be fights.
Durant fans were very unconvinced by this. In the February game, Durant averaged 30.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, leading the Thunder to an excellent record of 12 wins and 3 losses.
Although the data is not as comprehensive as Sun Yi's, Durant scored high! Based on this alone, Du Fan believes that the Player of the Month should belong to Durant.
Sun Yi's fans couldn't sit still. This is a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky. They spontaneously started a verbal spat with Du Fen online.
As for whether Durant has logged into the trumpet to compete with fans, it is unknown. When the league saw that the matter was getting serious, they came out to act as peacemakers and announced the voting results report, listing Sun Yi's super efficiency and the Warriors' undefeated record, leaving fans with ulterior motives speechless.
At this point, the controversy caused by the best player of the month has come to an end. .........On March 3, the Warriors came to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies away from home.
Before the game, most fans predicted that the Warriors would win the game without a fight. Just because the Grizzlies' strength has dropped significantly this season, and their record is not very good.
Moreover, the Warriors won a resounding victory in the first meeting between the two sides this season. Facing the strong Warriors, why can the Grizzlies win?
! But after the game started, the fans discovered that they were wrong. The Grizzlies still have a few tricks up their sleeves, and they played back and forth with the Warriors.
The fans at the scene suddenly felt as if the Grizzlies had become stronger! In fact, it's not that the Grizzlies have become stronger, but that the Warriors have a problem.
Thirty-four consecutive wins is undoubtedly a double-edged sword, which not only gives the Warriors great glory, but also brings them endless pressure.
Under this kind of pressure, some Warriors players played cautiously and did not shoot decisively, for fear of making mistakes and losing the game.
In addition to this, the Warriors were collectively inaccurate in this game and their shooting percentage was very poor. The outside line was not accurate, so the Warriors changed their offensive method, hoping to rely on the impact of Sun Yi, Curry and others to break the game from the inside.
But the Grizzlies were well prepared, quickly adjusted their defensive strategy, and made the interior impregnable. Although the Grizzlies limited the Warriors' offense, their offense was also at a loss and failed to open the score.
In this way, the game was extremely fierce and anxious, with both sides taking the lead alternately. With 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies led by 1 point.
The Warriors requested a timeout and arranged their final offensive tactics. After the timeout, Curry received the baseline serve and quickly advanced toward the frontcourt.
Sun Yi stepped forward and set a pick-and-roll for Curry. After blocking the man, he cut inside. The Grizzlies guessed that Sun Yi would come to play the Warriors' final attack, and made a targeted defensive strategy during the timeout.
Gai Yin, Gasol and others quickly rushed back to the penalty area to prevent Sun Yi from catching the ball and attacking the frame. Seeing this situation, Curry did not pass the ball to Sun Yi rashly and decided to end the final attack himself.
I saw the elementary school student quickly made a crossover, stepped back to the left to distance himself from the defender, and immediately picked up the basketball in his hand and threw it out.
This kind of unguarded jump shot was something Curry had always been sure of before, but something went wrong this time.
The basketball bounced off the basket. The Grizzlies fans in the audience were happy when they saw this. They saw the hope of winning.
But what happened next extinguished the fire of hope that had just been ignited in the hearts of Grizzlies fans.
In the penalty area, Sun Yi jumped up before Gasol, Gai Yin and others took off, grabbed the basketball in the air with one hand and dunked it into the basket.
"Incredible! Sun Li turned the tide and saved the Warriors, and they overtook the score!" In the on-site commentary box, Barkley stood up excitedly and told the Grizzlies fans at the scene this cruel result with a roar like a butchering pig.
Back on the court, Grizzlies head coach Hollins came to his senses and immediately requested a timeout. At this time, there are about 6 seconds left before the end of the game, enough time for the Grizzlies to complete the final attack.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued. Gai Yin quickly came out to receive the serve with the help of his teammates' cover, and then started to break towards the basket.
Sun Yi moved sideways to block the ball with small steps. He defended very tightly and did not give Gai Yin a chance to easily break through.
Seeing that there was not much time left in the game, Gai Yin saw that he could not get rid of Sun Yi's defense, so he had no choice but to stop and shoot.
Sun Yi did not lose his position and rushed forward to interfere with Gai Yin's shot. Bang! The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
At the same time, the final buzzer sounded, and the game was over. In the audience, Grizzlies fans let out sighs of regret.
They were just a tiny bit away from victory and breaking the Warriors' undefeated streak. In contrast, the fearful Warriors fans breathed a sigh of relief, feeling grateful that the team had escaped, and at the same time mixed with joy.
After the game, Sun Yi finished the interview and was escorted by security personnel back to the locker room to join the team.
......... After narrowly defeating the Grizzlies on the road, the Warriors' winning streak reached 35 games, and the winning streak is still expanding.
But the good times didn't last long, and the Warriors paid the price in the next game. It proves the saying: If you go out and mess around, you will pay back sooner or later!
After narrowly defeating the Grizzlies, the Warriors rushed to Salt Lake City non-stop to challenge the Utah Jazz in back-to-back games.
In this game, the Warriors' luck seemed to have been exhausted, and they were unable to escape again. At the last moment, Sun Yi was double-teamed and defended by the Jazz and had no chance to catch the ball.
Curry seized the opportunity and hit a key three-pointer to tie the score. At this time, there are about 2 seconds left before the end of the game.
Everyone thought the game would go into overtime, but a miracle happened. After the timeout, the Jazz served a sideline ball.
Hayward quickly ran out of the three-point line to receive the pass, turned around and threw the ball randomly. Sun Yi, who was pursuing the defense, pounced forward, but failed to block the basketball.
The basketball flying in the air bounced into the basket after hitting the board.
"Oh my God! Gordon killed the Warriors. He broke the Warriors' undefeated streak!" Jazz commentator McConn announced the exciting news excitedly.
