against the front

Chapter 163 The battle for the first center forward
After defeating the Eagles at home, the Kings started with a record of six consecutive victories, ranking first in the league. Although with the strength of the Kings, it is difficult to maintain such a record for a long time, but this is enough to make all the fans who support the Kings excited And I am excited, because the last time the Kings reached the top of the league, it dates back to nine seasons ago, and the record of six consecutive victories at the beginning also created the best start for the Kings in nearly 30 seasons, let alone the Kings. In this wave of six-game winning streak, they double-killed Los Angeles in back-to-back away games, and triple-killed the top three in Texas in the trip to Texas hell.

You must know that after the announcement of the new season's schedule, almost all the fans and media who support the Kings are full of sorrow, thinking that this is the league's intentional targeting of the Kings. Journey, not to mention the Kings, even the Celtics, the top team, after this wave of away games, they will peel off their skin if they are not dead. However, the final result shocked everyone. Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers, but also retreated from Texas, winning all five away games.

After defeating the Atlanta Hawks in the first game back home, the Kings ranked first in the league with a record of 6 wins and 0 losses. After the Kings, Kyle ranked second and third with 5 wins and 0 losses. The Specials and the Magic with 5 wins and 0 losses, and the Kings, Celtics, and Magic, these three teams are also the only team in the entire league that currently maintains a record of unbeaten victories.

On November 11, the Kings defeated the Bobcats at home and increased their winning streak to 6 games. The Celtics and Magic were not to be outdone, and defeated their respective opponents to increase their winning streak. To 7 games.

On November 11, the Kings played against the underdog Warriors at home. Facing the Warriors' weak inside, Yan Hua scored 8 points, 28 rebounds, and 24 blocked shots, leading the Kings to a 6-110 victory over the Kings. The best 86-game winning streak in the history of the Kings, only 8 games away from the 12-game winning streak in the history of the Kings.

The day after the home game against the Warriors, the NBA officially announced the player of the week in the second week of the new season. Yan Hua averaged 24.5 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game, and he played four games against the Kings The undefeated record was re-elected as the Western Conference Player of the Week.

While Yan Hua won the Player of the Week in the Western Conference, Dwight Howard in the East, like Yan Hua, also won the Player of the Week in the Eastern Conference this week. In this week's four games, the Magic also won four The game was a complete victory, and Dwight Howard also sent out 17 points, 17.8 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks against the sky.

After the restructuring of Player of the Week and Player of the Month, there has never been a precedent for Yan Hua and Howard to be the Player of the Week in the East and West respectively at the beginning of the season, because at the beginning of the new season, all In the stage of player explosion, it is much more difficult to win the best player of the week at the beginning of the new season than in the middle or end of the season.

Yan Hua and Dwight Howard became the best player of the week in the East and West in a row, which also led to a controversy, that is, who will be the No. [-] center in the NBA this season and even in the future, Dwight- Howard was selected for the double team last season, won the rebounding and blocked shot kings, and became the best defensive player of last season. Not only that, Howard also led the Magic all the way to the finals, although the Magic won five games in the finals Lost to the Lakers in China, but there is no doubt that Dwight Howard is already one of the best players in the league. Some media even put Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant and LeBron James together. For the current three strongest players in the league.

Since the beginning of the new season, the Magic has won all 7 games, and Dwight Howard has averaged 20 points, 18 rebounds, and 4 blocked shots per game. He is the favorite for the championship this season.

Compared with Dwight Howard, Yan Hua's performance last season was much inferior, but as a rookie, while winning the best rookie, Yan Hua was also miraculously selected to the best team, and Leading a team that missed the playoffs for many years to the conference semifinals, there is no doubt that Yan Hua has achieved the ultimate that a rookie can do.

After the start of the new season, Yan Hua's performance was also terrifying. Last season, the Kings, who ranked seventh in the Western Conference, started with a wave of 8 consecutive victories and directly took the first place in the league. In the game, he averaged 8 points, 25.7 rebounds, 15.5 blocks, and 3.75 assists per game. If Yan Hua's performance can continue, Dwight Howard's first center position is true. It may not be guaranteed.

Although the outside media has been following the rhythm all the time, trying to provoke Yan Hua and Dwight Howard to spray each other in the air to create a gimmick, and Dwight Howard is also under the provocation of the media, making continuous voices and provoking Yan Hua one after another , but Yan Hua did not respond to this, and refused all interviews with various media.

What others don't know, Yan Hua knows very well. In last season's playoffs, one player from the east and the west made a breakthrough in strength and mentality, and became a superstar. The one in the west is Kame from the Nuggets Lon Anthony, and Dwight Howard in the east, the strength rating of 94 and 95 are two completely different concepts, so now Yan Hua, who has a strength rating of only 89, chooses to make a fortune in silence and practice hard. Try to improve your own strength as soon as possible, and the king is now in a winning streak. The whole team is working hard and wants to take the opportunity to break the record of 12 consecutive victories in team history, so Yan Hua, who is the core of the team's offense and defense, will He can't be distracted anymore.

On November 11, the Kings defeated the Thunder 11-97 at home, increasing their winning streak to 90 games. After this Eastern Conference road trip, the Kings will face the Pistons, Pacers, Bucks, and Bulls in succession. Four away games in 9 days is also a full-fledged devil's schedule, but fortunately, this road trip Several opponents are very average, and as long as they win these four rookies, the Kings will break the winning streak in team history, so when the Kings special plane left Sacramento, the whole team was extremely excited, because once they created a new If there is a winning streak, then everyone in this Kings team will be on the honor roll in the history of the Kings and will be remembered by all Kings fans.
