Chapter 343: Da Yao faces questioning, Rockets mock and ridicule!
The Bulls won the game.
However... the fans are also feeling a bit curious after the game.
"No, why did the Bulls have such a hard time against the weak Warriors.
It seems like if Su Yan doesn't score 40+, 50+ points, and doesn't contribute many steals and blocks on the defensive end, they can't win?!"
"Yeah."
"I'm also a bit puzzled.
Could the Bulls be so weak that they can only rely on Su Yan alone, always relying on him alone?!"
"No, no, no."
"What about the 'Dragon Country Twin Stars', it's just that... in the last few games, Da Yao's performance seems a bit sluggish.
vs Clippers, 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks.
vs Suns, 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks.
Tonight... it's even more dismal with only 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks.
It looks okay, not too bad, but... as one of the 'Twin Stars', as the second-in-command of the top team in the East.
Such a performance is really quite ordinary."
"Da Yao should play better."
"Such a performance is really hard to describe; it really doesn't live up to the title of one of the 'Dragon Country Twin Stars'."
"He... he wouldn't be failing, would he?!"
"......"
Da Yao's recent sluggish performance has sparked quite a bit of heated discussion, and even triggered some questioning voices.
Of course.
These are just the thoughts of the fans.
Inside the Bulls.
From coaches to players, not a single player thinks Da Yao is playing poorly.
On the contrary... Da Yao, who is always diligent in training, is still a role model for the players when it comes to hard work.
Everyone wants to work as hard as Da Yao.
So.
As long as you work hard enough, as long as your attitude toward the game is not a problem, then it is normal to have a period where you play poorly.
No one will say anything.
And the fans' discussion continues until noon, until the announcement of the Player of the Week.
Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
Who?
The Bulls' Su Yan, once again selected without any suspense.
Last week he averaged: 41.8 points, 3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 6.5 steals, 3.5 blocks, leading the team to 4 consecutive wins, undefeated.
Although this week wasn't a terrifying 50 points per game.
But... an average of 40 points per game is also a quite shocking existence.
Crucially, on top of the 40+ points per game, Su Yan also has 6.5 steals + 3.5 blocks, truly an "all-around warrior" performance.
His selection as Player of the Week is without suspense.
What about the West?
"Franchise" Steve Francis from the Rockets is selected.
Last week he averaged: 30.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 10.0 assists, 2.5 steals, 0.8 blocks, with a team record of 4 wins and 0 losses.
He put up a superstar-like performance.
Currently, the Rockets have a 6-game winning streak, taking down the Spurs, and with this winning streak, they have climbed to the fourth position in the West, a quite good record.
And during this winning streak.
Besides "Franchise" playing excellently.
Center Eddy Curry and Jamal Crawford, who were traded from the Bulls, are also performing very eye-catchingly.
During the team's 6-game winning streak.
Eddy Curry averaged 18.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks.
Crawford goes to the bench to play the "sixth man" role, focused on scoring, averaging: 16.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 steals.
The two are performing quite excellently.
No.
It can be described as fierce.
Rockets 6-game winning streak.
