Chapter 304 Wang Feng wants to participate in all projects again?
In the 15 games in January, the Lakers' main enemies will be the Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Jazz, 76ers, Thunder and other teams, and most of these games will be away from home.
For Wang Feng, the more important thing this month is that Harden is about to break out.
In another time and space, Harden averaged 43.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game in January!
In the 14 games this month, Harden will score 1 game with 60+ points, 2 games with 50+ points, 5 games with 40+ points, and 6 games with 30+ points. The game with the lowest score also has 32 points and 14 assists!
Wang Feng currently still occupies the lead in the scoring list. With his outstanding performance in December, Wang Feng's average points per game are currently stable at 38.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.1 steals, firmly ranking first in the scoring list.
Harden's current scoring average is 34.4 points per game, which is 3.8 points behind Wang Feng. This is definitely not a particularly big difference. If Wang Feng slacks off a little, Harden may very well overtake him!
…
On January 3, the Rockets faced the Warriors away from home. After an overtime game, they narrowly defeated the Warriors by one point with a score of 135:134.
Harden made 13 of 32 shots in the game and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 44 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists, a huge triple-double.
Then he scored 38 points, 42 points, 44 points and 37 points respectively in four games against the Trail Blazers, Nuggets, Bucks and Cavaliers!
In 5 games, Harden averaged 41 points, 8.4 rebounds and 12 assists per game, and was successfully elected as the Player of the Week in the first week.
And Wang Feng was not to be outdone.
On January 2, the Lakers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 117:107 at home. Wang Feng scored 37 points and 11 rebounds.
On January 4, the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks 119:112. Wang Feng scored 41 points.
On January 6, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 108:86, and Wang Feng scored another 35 points.
On January 7, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 107:97, with Wang Feng scoring 39 points.
On January 9, the Lakers defeated the Pistons 113:100, and Wang Feng scored 40 points.
In the same five games, Wang Feng averaged 38.4 points per game, only slightly lower than Harden, while the Lakers won five consecutive victories.
"As the NBA schedule enters January, the competition between Wang Feng and Harden on the scoring list has also entered a fierce stage. Both of them have tried their best to show their strongest scoring ability. Compared with these two people, the rest of the league has
The players’ scores are all down a notch!”
"Joel Embiid, the best player in the Eastern Conference and winner of last week's Player of the Week, has only averaged 29 points and 13 rebounds in recent games. In terms of data performance, he is completely inferior to Harden and Wang Feng."
"It's like these two players from the Western Conference are at loggerheads. They have to fight to the death on the scoreboard! But if it wasn't like this, we, the audience, wouldn't be able to see such a visual feast."
In the process of the two powers competing for hegemony, the results of the second round of All-Star voting were announced on January 11. Wang Feng continued to lead the league, while James and Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo were still ranked second and third.
Although Harden competes with Wang Feng in the scoring list, he is far less popular than Wang Feng. He is currently only ranked second in the voting for Western Conference guards, lower than Stephen Curry.
Among all positions in the entire Western Conference, Harden can only rank fifth in votes, behind Wang Feng, James, Curry and Paul George.
In fact, in terms of data, except for Wang Feng, both James Curry and George are inferior to Harden. However, All-Star voting is not based on the player's score, but based on the audience base.
Although Harden's scoring is very exaggerated, only Wang Feng can block one goal, but fans who have watched the Rockets game will never think that Harden's game is beautiful.
Harden's current scoring average has increased to about 35.6 points per game, but 11.2 of these points come from free throws.
A large number of free throws caused the Rockets' game to be intermittent and extremely inconsistent. Moreover, Harden's game was really ugly to watch as he fell down and fell down.
What's more, even if Harden's personal data is so explosive, the Rockets' record is still tepid, and the number of fans who like Harden will of course be greatly reduced.
This is a very realistic and objective question. Fans like gorgeous and elegant three-pointers and passionate muscle clashes. Who would like to stand on the free throw line and score points one by one like squeezing toothpaste?
Of course, this premise is that Harden's competitors are top superstars such as Wang Feng, James, and Curry.
If you look further down and compare, Harden's popularity is definitely much higher than that of first-class stars. With the current vote rate, it is not a problem to be the starter in the All-Star Game.
…
At a press conference after a certain game after the results of the second round of All-Star voting were announced, a reporter asked Wang Feng an interesting question.
"Mr. Wang Feng, as far as we know, you signed up for the skills challenge, the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest at the same time during the All-Star Weekend in 2017 and 2018, and in last year's 2018 All-Star Weekend,
During the All-Star Weekend, you won all the championships in the three individual events."
"So, would you like to ask, will you sign up for three events at the same time during this year's All-Star Weekend like the previous two years?"
Faced with this question, Wang Feng did not hesitate at all and answered straightforwardly: "Of course, I really like these solo events during the All-Star Weekend. I think these competitions are very interesting. I will also participate in them all this year. It would be best if I can win the championship."
, if not, focusing on participation will also be a very good result.”
The individual events and the All-Star Game itself are held on the next day, and these events are not particularly physically demanding. Only the dunk contest may waste more time because of the creativity and dunk practice.
Considering that as long as you win the championship, you can get rewards for improving your attributes. The three-point ability value bonus for the champions of these individual events, especially the three-point contest champions, is more important than winning a few games in the regular season!
Wang Feng will continue to participate in three solo events during the All-Star Weekend.
Once this news was announced, it immediately aroused considerable repercussions.
Fans who like Wang Feng are naturally very happy to see their idol win more trophies and increase his presence.
Some fans who don't like Wang Feng feel that Wang Feng is a bit too pretentious.
"It's enough to get through once or twice. Do you really plan to monopolize all single-player championships in the NBA All-Stars? Do you know that doing so will offend many people? You are noble and awesome! Other players in the league are trash, just
You are the best!"
"It's not just a single event, haven't you noticed that Wang Feng has won the MVP of the All-Star Game for two consecutive seasons? The All-Star Game is originally a stage for entertainment performances by stars. Other stars are playing, but Wang Feng is seriously playing.
Data, and finally get an All-Star MVP, this kind of thing happens once or twice. If Wang Feng still does this this year, some players will definitely be unhappy, teach him a lesson!"
