NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western Players of the Month for November.
The Eastern Conference's Best of the Month went to Paul George, who had just performed the Return of the King drama. Although there were a few games where his performance was average, overall, George, who had just returned from injury, played very well.
In November, the Pacers played a total of 16 games. Under the leadership of George, they achieved a record of 11 wins and 5 losses. They are now ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.
He played in all 16 games, averaging 36 minutes per game, contributing 27.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.2 blocks.
Even though the team record and personal data were not comparable, considering that he just suffered a serious leg injury last season, with a hint of sadness, he finally beat James and won the best honor in the first month of his career.
In the Western Conference, there are only two people who have the best chance of winning the best honor in the first month of the new season.
Stephen Curry and Wang Zelin!
Last month, Curry led the Warriors to an 18-0 record. With consecutive back-to-back games on No. 29 and No. 30, they not only played one more game than the Trail Blazers, but also successfully surpassed them and temporarily ranked first.
No. 1 in the West and No. 1 in the conference.
In terms of personal data, Curry's performance is also quite terrifying. In all 18 games, he averaged 34.6 minutes per game, shooting 52.5% from the field, 44.5% from the three-point range, and averaging 31.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.5 per game.
0.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, including three data points, rebounds and steals, all reaching career highs.
In comparison, Wang Zelin led the Trail Blazers to a 17-game winning streak last month, and his record was slightly less than half that of the Warriors.
However, in terms of personal data, he can be described as a pervert.
In all 17 games, he averaged 35 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 69% and a free throw percentage of 92%. He averaged 36.9 points, 17.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 4.3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game, averaging close to 4x5 per game.
All-around performance, nothing too outrageous!
In the end, Wang Zelin was successfully selected as the Western Conference Player of the Month for the first time by virtue of his personal performance that far exceeded Curry.
This time, even Curry's fans were choked and speechless.
There is no way, the data gap between the two is too big, what is the difference between saying something else at this time and being tough?
However, the world has never been short of tough-talking people.
Soon, Draymond Green took the initiative to jump out, triggering a new round of scolding.
"There is no doubt that our record is better than that of the Trail Blazers, and Stephen has contributed the most glorious single-month performance of his career so far! But even so, he still lost to that lucky boy from the East.
All I can say is that someone in the league is being too loving."
The implication is that the league is too biased in favor of Wang Zelin. With the Warriors' current record, Curry deserves the honor of last month.
Green had just said these words, and the Blazers, who had originally planned to settle the matter, stopped immediately.
Damn it, Curry just took Ruijia Zhou last week, but now he even wants to win the Best of the Month Award? He doesn’t even look at whether Curry’s small physique is worthy of him!
On the first day of December, Green's social media account was directly blasted by countless Trail Blazers fans and domestic fans who had circumvented the wall, and the comment area was also completely compromised.
That guy Green is really a fool!
Wang Zelin looked at all this while using his trumpet to surf the Internet, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Although Trail Blazers fans and domestic fans have taught Green a lesson, he has no intention of playing football.
On the morning of December 2, during an interview with an ESPN reporter at the training center, Wang Zelin expressed his envy for Green.
"To be honest, seeing Green's achievements, I feel extremely envious."
Hearing what he said, the reporters immediately became excited. According to their understanding of Wang Zelin, this guy was definitely up to something.
Sure enough, things turned 180 degrees in the next second.
“I envy that he is regarded as a superstar by many fans just because of his top order statistics;
"I envy him that even though he was defeated by us last season, he could still easily get a multi-million contract at the same level as Damien LaMarcus;
I envy him that he can meet a group of teammates who are far superior to him, and in only his third year he has reached the Western Conference Finals that Chris Paul dreams of;
Tell me, who doesn’t envy this kind of shitty luck? Many of my teammates struggle desperately every day, but they are not as happy as a gangster!"
The surrounding reporters were completely excited. The familiar Wang Daodong was back! Today’s headlines are here!
After Wang Zelin's interview was exposed by ESPN, Green's lungs almost exploded with anger.
His words can be said to be like a knife, piercing Green's chest fiercely.
Along with this, the meme "averaging three singles per game" gradually became popular among the fan base.
As expected, the furious Green launched a decisive counterattack.
But what Ling Green didn't expect was that there was no need for Wang Zelin to deal with him now. Countless king secretaries were the first to jump out to confront him.
And the reason was very hard-core. "We have a championship, what do you have?" This question stunned Green and the countless Warriors fans behind him.
Facts speak louder than words.
The Warriors were eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the playoffs last year. Unless they can eliminate the Trail Blazers in the same way in the future, the Warriors will always be at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion when it comes to the Trail Blazers' championship.
This time, Green experienced firsthand what Barkley went through when he was silenced by O'Neal on a daily basis.
In competitive sports leagues, the winner takes all is an eternal law. In front of the champion, the various opinions from everyone's mouth are not enough to form a counterattack. Instead, they are more like the nonsense of an anxious kindergarten child.
In this war of words, Wang Zelin's interview temporarily put him in the lead. Thinking of that guy Green's furious look at this moment, he felt better than after drinking Lei Bidu for 82 years.
Of course, this is only a preliminary victory. To achieve the final victory, he needs to defeat the Warriors in the exchange and see who gives the first defeat of the season to whom.
Just when the scolding battle between the two sides entered a fierce stage, on the evening of the 12th and 3rd, the Trail Blazers met the Bulls at home.
The Chicago Bulls are the penultimate opponent before the Trail Blazers play against the Grizzlies. If they kill the Bulls and then try to see how good the Lakers' new Big Three are, they will face the Warriors in the first game of the season.
Speaking of the Lakers, I have to mention Brother Cannon.
He probably didn't even think about it. As a melon-eater, he was planning to enjoy the new round of scolding between the Trail Blazers and Warriors. As a result, Wang Zelin started to criticize Green and even brought him with him, which made his original good mood worse.
I felt completely numb.
Have labor and management eaten your rice?
As a result, this further led to Pao's poor performance in the game on the 2nd night, only scoring 8 points and 5 assists. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Spurs 97:102 in the away game, and fell out of the top four in the Western Conference rankings.
Neither Wang Zelin nor Green expected that after the two had a verbal spat, the old gunman next door would be the first to be shot.
