933:Early Gift to Simmons (Fourth Update)
Russell. Westbrook, like Harden, has yet to win a single Honor of the Month in his career so far.
and James. Harden, like him, has played a game this month that he can definitely win at any time in the past.
On February 23, in the Thunder's victory over the Nuggets, Westbrook played 27 minutes, contributing 21 points, 17 assists and 8 rebounds, of which the number of assists tied a career record.
On February 25, in the Thunder's victory over the Pacers, Westbrook had a triple-double of 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and scored a triple-double for the 11th time in his career.
On February 27, the Thunder lost to the Suns 113-117 in overtime. Although he lost the game, Westbrook had 39 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, contributing a triple-double in two consecutive games.
On February 28, in the game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, Westbrook contributed 40 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, and scored a triple-double in three consecutive games in his career, becoming the first player since Link to achieve this achievement.
Throughout February, Westbrook led the Thunder to an excellent 9-3 record. He averaged 31.2 points, 10.3 assists and 7.5 rebounds per game for a quasi-triple-double.
In addition, Westbrook also set a career record for assists in six consecutive games.
And the scoring and assists in 6 consecutive games reached 20+10 respectively, which also tied Gary. Peyton's all-time record.
Westbrook, meanwhile, also achieved a career score of more than 10,000 in February......
His performance is unbeatable, but unfortunately, he's the same as Harden.
Like Harden, he didn't win the best of the month, and like Harden, he played an incredible monthly performance. is also the same as Harden, even if he performs against the sky, he still misses the best of the month......
On the evening of March 2, the NBA officially announced the results of the selection of the Eastern and Western Player of the Month for February.
In the East, James won the best honor of the month for the first time this season with 24.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists and an 8-3 record.
Westbrook is better than James in terms of both individual data and team record. But unfortunately, he didn't win the Western Conference Month award even better.
The reason is simple - Link is in the west!
February's Western Player of the Month was once again given to Link!
In the case that Westbrook's data has been so perverted, Link still crushes the "Turtle".
First of all, the team's record, the Grizzlies had a 10-2 record in February, which is not at all inferior compared to the Thunder's 9-3 record or the Cavaliers' 8-3.
Secondly, from the perspective of personal data, Link's data for February is also quite exaggerated.
He averaged 30.4 points, 10.4 assists, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2.1 steals per game...... Westbrook's ultra-terrifying stats are also slightly inferior to Link's.
He was behind in all respects, except for scoring 0.8 more points than Link.
But don't forget, while Westbrook scored 0.8 more points than Link, it was much less efficient. So, Westbrook's scoring performance is not necessarily better than Link's.
And this is the second time this season that Link has hit a nearly triple-double average in a single month.
With both his stats and team record outperforming Westbrook, Link deservedly won the February Player of the Month!
So far, Link has won the best of the season for 4 months in a row. This allowed him to tie LeBron in the 09-10 season. James, the two together became the player with the most monthly awards in a single season.
Link, meanwhile, is also the first player in the West to win the Player of the Month award for four consecutive months.
Now, Bill. Simmons was really panicked.
Westbrook has been like this in February, and he hasn't been able to beat Link yet. In the next two months, will anyone else be able to come up with better stats and performances than Westbrook?
Even Bill. Simmons himself must admit that it was just too hard!
Judging from the current situation, Link has a good chance of making history! Because in the whole West, it is completely impossible to pick out Link's opponents.
Maybe the Grizzlies aren't invincible, but Link, as an individual, is invincible.
Simmons was now very worried while that night when he watched. After T's show, he became even more anxious.
T. Tonight they invited Link, the newly released Western Conference Player of the Month, to their studio and join Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny. Smith's three living treasures partnered up on a talk show.
During the show, Link and O'Neal performed a low-post 1v1, teaming up with Barkley to make the fans grin. Smith carefully analyzes the future of the league's game trend.
But none of these are the highlights, which come at the end of the show.
"One last topic, Link. We all know that this is already your fourth Player of the Month award of the season. All you need to do is take two more to achieve the achievement of taking all the Player of the Month in a single season! There is no doubt that if this does happen, it will be immensely great. But I don't really care much about how great this is, I care more about Bill. Simmons' head. ”
As soon as O'Neill finished speaking, Barkley and Kenny were beside him. Smith laughed.
"All three of us are bald, and bald is nothing. But I really can't imagine, Bill. What would a guy like Simmons look like with a shaved head. Damn, that's definitely uglier than Shaq! Barkley immediately complained, of course, not forgetting to take advantage of O'Neal.
O'Neal glared at Barkley and then continued, "Link, if Bill. Simmons really shaved his hair for this, how would you react? Have a good laugh? ”
Link shrugged, "No, you may not believe it, but I'd be sorry if Simmons really shaved his head." ”
"You're right, we really don't believe it." Barkley didn't hesitate to debunk Link.
"No, I'm not kidding this time. In fact, I've already bought a hat for Simmons, just in case. If nothing else, the hat should be delivered to his door tomorrow. You see, I'm still very considerate of others. ”
Link looked meaningfully at the lens of his glasses, and Bill. Simmons, however, felt a chill down his spine in March when the temperature had slowly risen......
※※※
Early in the morning of March 3rd, Bill. Simmons received a large box of packages.
The courier dropped the package directly onto the lawn of his yard, and judging by the packaging outside, it was indeed a box of hats.
Simmons was a little surprised, he thought Link was just joking on the show. Unexpectedly, I actually sent him a box of hats.
Simmons couldn't believe it, when did Link be so kind?
So, the famous basketball writer couldn't wait to open the box on the lawn.
But when he saw the contents of the box, Simmons couldn't help but yell, "! ”
Then he turned around and walked back into the house in a rage.
The contents of the box were scattered all over the lawn, and Link's was indeed a hat, but it was a pile of empty hats that couldn't hold his hair away!
This gift, Link was really carefully chosen......
