Chapter 918 (1/2)
Before the 01-02 season, the NBA player of the month was in both East and West.
That is to say, at that time, only one month's player of the month would be born, instead of the two now. The whole season, but also only six months of the best seats.
Therefore, in those days, it was very difficult to be the best month for two consecutive months.
Even, if a single season can get two months of the best, the difficulty is also great.
Three months best in a single season? It's an impossible task.
Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Hakim olajuwan, Patrick Ewing and other ”big players” of the month in the 1990s have never achieved the achievement of winning the player of the month three times in a single season.
Under the rule of no distinction between the East and the west, only the peak ”shark” has completed the miracle of the best of the next month three times in a single season.
From the beginning of the 2001-02 season, the selection of the best player of the month began to distinguish between the East and the west, and the number of seats for the best player of the month changed from 6 to 12.
As a result, it seems less difficult to win the best three months in a single season.
Since the 2001-02 season, Garnett, Kobe and James have won three or more awards of the month in a single season.
The toughest was undoubtedly James of the 2009-10 season, when he became the Eastern Conference Player of the month for four consecutive months. It's like the whole East is spinning around James.
Although it is easier to win the best three months in a single season than before, there are only four stars who can do it in NBA history.
And these four guys, no doubt, are Hall of fame players of the future.
That is to say, if link wins the best month in January, he will be as famous as the four above!
And in the competitive West, no one has been able to get the best of the month for three consecutive months.
There are too many tough players in the West. Take this season as an example, none of the top eight teams in the West are easy to mess with. And these are not easy to provoke the team, generally has a very outstanding individual ability in charge of the star.
For example, James Hardon of the Houston Rockets!
”The best month? Of course I want it! In fact, I'm working on it. So far in my career, I've never had the honor of player of the month. I really hope to break this embarrassing record this season
In the field interview after the rocket's victory over thunder, harden expressed his determination to snatch the best month.
Now, January is half way through. At present, the best chance to get the best of the month is link and harden.
Curry's January numbers have fluctuated slightly, and the warriors have lost several key battles, which have been pushed far away by harden and link.
Other people's personal performance, is completely unable to compare with link and harden.
If there is no change in the second half of the month, the best month in January is one out of Hadden and link.
The next day, reporters also interviewed link, another protagonist in the incident.
Unlike harden, who is full of energy, link is not too excited when facing the honor of the best of the month.
”The best month? To be honest, I didn't think about that. The only thing I want now is to continue the Grizzlies' winning streak. For me, winning is the most important thing
Link didn't say that he would fight with harden and break the situation that no one in the West could be the best sanlianzhuang in the month.
His desire for it was obviously much weaker than that of harden.
Harden has not won the best player of the month in his career, but after all, link has won the player of the month in his rookie year...
this honor is no wonder to link.
What's more, now the Grizzlies' lineup is relatively complete compared with the beginning of the season, so link doesn't need to do everything.
Therefore, the data will certainly not be as gorgeous as the previous two months.
