Chapter 107 The best get in the first month
On February 2, the Kings returned to the home court to face the Timberwolves who came to challenge them. Facing the Timberwolves in the first game of this season, the Kings are now playing very easily. He Yixiang led the Kings to lead the Timberwolves by 3 points at halftime with 13 points and 11 assists. As much, Love was suppressed by Cousins ​​at the basket, and Beasley was also caught in a fight with Iguodala.In the end, the King defeated the Timberwolves and won two consecutive victories. At the same time, the ranking returned to overtake the Thunder and return to fourth in the Western Conference.

After the game, the NBA also announced the best of the month in January. The Eastern Conference was won by leading James. Although the Heat only had a record of 1 wins and 1 losses in January, James was absent due to injury in 11 losing games. In the game present, he won 4 wins and averaged 4 points, 11 assists and 31.2 rebounds per game.

The Best of the Month in the Western Conference was won by He Yixiang. He led the Kings to 12 consecutive victories in January as the core, with a total record of 13 wins and 2 losses. He reached the top half of the playoffs in the Wild West. In the game, he averaged 15 points, 19.4 assists and 12.7 rebounds per game. At the same time, he also maintained his style of steals leader, averaging 5.2 steals per game, beating Thunder's Durant and Grizzlies' Randolph, while He Yixiang It even became the No.3.2 player who got the best of the month in his rookie season.

After hearing the news, He Yixiang once again became a hot topic of public opinion. As another person who won the best player of the month in his rookie season, his limelight even overshadowed today's first career cut of 40 against the Timberwolves. + Cousins.Cousins ​​was also very dissatisfied with following He Yixiang. This was a milestone battle for him, and you just snatched the headlines again.But there is no way, it's not him, even Zhan Huang, who won the best of the month in the East, can only be a foil for the title.

"East and West double Kings are both the best of the month, and the super rookie won the No. 1 of the month in his rookie season. This title, why, I think you are very good!" Cousins ​​complained while watching the latest news.

He Yixiang smiled and shook his head: "The best of the month? The one in the opposite east is the best in the 17th month, and he has two regular season MVPs." The boss is qualified to talk and laugh.

At this time, Barkley, who was explaining the game in distant Atlanta, also got the news for the first time. At this time, he had lost his status as a "Kings fan", but he couldn't help complaining when he heard the news: "ESPN You said the best player of the month won’t fight tough battles? Why is this guy so good? He won the best player of the month in his rookie season, Kenny, you don’t seem to have won it!” Of course, he didn’t forget to complain about his partner at the end .

"Charles, don't talk about me. I'm just a role player. I know where I am. You guy seems to have won four times as a top [-] superstar! After He's career is over, I don't know. How much.” Smith naturally would not accept such a provocation, not to mention his positioning of himself is very accurate.

"In the past, the best of the month was not divided into east and west. The whole league competed together. Besides, I still have the MVP of the regular season. Kenny, how is it?" Barkley was not to be outdone.

"But you don't have a championship." At this time, Smith, who has two championships in hand, directly attacked Barkley's most unbearable past. As a superstar at the league's historical level, he has never won a championship. In the 92 season, although he won the MVP of the regular season, he met the omnipotent Jordan in the finals. In the finals, he averaged 93 points per game and defeated the Suns in six games. Since then, he has never entered the finals .

"Let's watch the game! Even though they are facing the Celtics with the Big Three, the Eagles still played very well. Joe and Josh both played their own good rhythm." Upon hearing the word of the championship , Barkley immediately stopped talking and became a professional game commentator.

Back to the Kings, when He Yixiang won the best of the week in the first week, He Yixiang was hammered by the Lakers. This time he won the best of the month, and naturally there are people waiting to beat him, and now the most anticipated The one who met the king was Durant, who won the best of the month in the Western Conference in December and was looking forward to the best of the month for two consecutive months.And the first game of the season between the two sides was on February 12th, the last game before the All-Star Game, the battle between the two Western Conference All-Star starting teams.

In the game at the beginning of February, He Yixiang may have drank the best poisonous milk of the month. After defeating the Timberwolves on February 2, he only got 2 wins and 3 losses in 8 games. It only averaged 4 points and 4 assists per game. They lost to Anthony's Nuggets and Nash's Suns one after another. They were even avenged by the Nets at home. The triple-double data of 8 points, 17.7 rebounds and 9.4 assists made this guy elated. The king's three-pointers also began to slump after breaking the record.The team's three-point shooting rate is also as low as 27%.

It is such a king, who will soon go to the away game to challenge the Thunder, and in Oklahoma, there is Durant, the season's scoring leader, and Westbrook, who is also a point guard star like He Yixiang, is eagerly waiting for his arrival Well, Westbrook averaged 21.2 points and 8.4 assists per game as the team's second-in-command this season, and his statistics are not much worse than He Yixiang's. Season scoring champion.

This duo is also the combination with the highest scoring average per game this season except the Heat's Janeway combination. What's more, one of these two is the second place in 07 and the other is the No. 08 pick in 07. There is still a lot of room for growth. On the team, Jeff Green was the No. 5 pick in 09, James Harden was the pick in 08, and Serge Ibaka was the No. 24 pick in [-]. The talent of this team is even now The Kings are also jealous, and it can be predicted that for a long time in the future, these two teams will become each other's biggest competitors before.

"I don't know how good the player of the month is, but he has never beat me." In an interview the day before the game, Westbrook had nothing good to say about the new player of the month, who was two and a half years younger than him. He won the best rookie of the month and is also a point guard. Naturally, Westbrook wants to prove himself by defeating his opponent, not to mention that He Yixiang and the Kings are not in a good state recently.

He Yixiang didn't respond. He just waited silently for tomorrow's game. Recently, the team's state is not good, and all the speeches will only become the media's explanation. What he needs now is a victory.
