king of defenders

Chapter 1010 Consecutive Best Player of the Month

Meng Yun's entry into the All-Star starting lineup is already a certainty, so there is no need to canvass for himself, but Meng Yun still posted some canvassing words on social media.

Not for himself, but for Wade and Xiang Long.

If Wade stays in the Heat, the problem of being selected as an All-Star should not be too big, but now he is traded to the Lakers, and in the West, the competition for defenders in the West is too fierce.

Stephen Curry, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Damian Lillard. So many excellent guards participated in the competition, and the only guard player who can finally enter the Western Conference All-Star starting Two, Wade doesn't have much advantage.

So Meng Yun has to help Wade to win votes, hoping to help Wade and let Wade enter the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup.

At the same time, Meng Yun also helped Xiang Long to canvass votes. Xiang Long himself was not very concerned, mainly because he felt that there was little hope. Coupled with personality problems, he did not have social media at all, let alone canvass for himself in front of the media, so Meng Yun could only help out.

Unexpectedly, the effect is really good. Wade's votes have increased a lot, and he has already reached the top four guards in the Western Conference, second only to Curry, Harden, and Westbrook.

But these three talents in front are the biggest competitors. Needless to say, Curry, Harden averaged 30+ per game this season. Jia, Westbrook, George, and Anthony's running-in of the Big Three are very problematic, but Westbrook still averaged a triple-double per game.

These three people are very competitive, and Wade wants to beat them, and it is very difficult to win a starting position in the Western Conference All-Star.

In addition, Xiang Long's votes have also increased a lot, and he even entered the top ten frontcourt players in the Eastern Conference, temporarily ranking tenth.

But like Wade, there are still many strong competitors in front of him. It is not so difficult to continue to move forward, rank among the top three in the Eastern Conference, and be selected as an All-Star.

"I can only do so much."

Meng Yun can't do anything about the rest, he can only help solicit votes, and in the end it all depends on their performance on the field.

With the passage of time, the increase in the number of votes for each player in the first round of the All-Star voting has stabilized, and the Heat are continuing their journey.

There are only a few games left in December. The Heat are against the Lone Ranger, Pelicans, Magic, Nets, and Magic.

There were a total of five games, and the Heat won all of them. After all, these opponents were not very strong, and their strength was much worse than that of the Heat.

What's more, Meng Yun continued his fiery state, averaging 28.6 points, 10.2 assists, and 8.8 rebounds in five games, which is another quasi-triple-double data.

It's worth mentioning that although Xiang Long didn't say anything, he clearly wanted to work hard for the All-Star in his actions.

He played very proactively in these five games, and his statistics have improved. He averaged 17.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and his shooting percentage reached 54%. There is also 40%.

In terms of personal data, Xianglong's performance in these five games has surpassed Monroe.

It can be said that Xiang Long played his best performance so far, but in terms of entering the All-Star, this performance is not enough.

At the same time, the nba officially announced the best player of the month in December.

This month's Western Conference Player of the Month is Russell Westbrook. Obviously he is also working hard to compete for the Western Conference All-Star starting position. In December, he averaged 12 points, 27.8 assists and 10.6 rebounds per game. , The Thunder also achieved a record of 10.2 wins and 12 losses.

Averaging a triple-double seems to have become the norm for Westbrook.

In the East, Meng Yun won the best player of the month again.

Throughout December, Meng Yun averaged 12 points, 28.2 assists and 10.6 rebounds per game, not much worse than Westbrook.The key is that Meng Yun's efficiency is much higher than Westbrook's. Westbrook's shooting percentage is only 8.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 44.8%.

And Meng Yun's shooting percentage was as high as 49.2%, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 41.6%. He beat Westbrook in terms of three-pointers.

Moreover, throughout December, the Heat achieved a record of 12 wins and 13 losses, and only lost to the Warriors and Spurs at the beginning of the month.

Due to the team's excellent record and Meng Yun's personal outstanding performance, he defeated LeBron James and won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month consecutively.

Subsequently, Meng Yun's All-Star vote surpassed LeBron James for the first time, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

For a time, the Chinese fans were sensational.

"Meng Yun is really amazing. He averaged close to a triple-double, surpassed James to become the Eastern All-Star vote leader, and was selected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for two consecutive months. It is exciting. Our Chinese players can also do such a good job. , to achieve such results in the NBA."

"Meng Yun can always surprise people, he is really outstanding."

"The light of China, Meng Yun is the light of China!"

The boiling Chinese fans took action, causing Meng Yun's votes to soar again, gradually widening the gap with James, and temporarily securing the position of the top voter in the Eastern Conference.

Some James fans were upset and sprayed all kinds of things, but it was useless. Meng Yun didn't rely on the large number of people behind him, he spoke with his strength.

An average of 28+10+8 per game, such data is impeccable.

Even James admitted in public that in the past two months, Meng Yun's performance was better than him, and he deserved to be elected as the best player of the month.

Some people are proud and some are frustrated.

Thomas Jr. was one.

It has been more than a month since he came to the Heat, but he still hasn't been able to adapt. His status as a substitute player fluctuates, with ups and downs, and his efficiency is very low.

For more than a month, Thomas Jr. averaged only 10 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.5 rebounds per game, shooting 39% from the field and 31% from the three-point range.

This is obviously a huge gap with his data last season.

Seeing that Meng Yun won the best player of the month again, Thomas Jr. couldn't get jealous, because Meng Yun is really good, and he has to be convinced even if he is not convinced.

But seeing that Xiang Long's performance is getting better and better, he is getting more and more attention, his personal data has improved, his status in the team, and his playing time have also improved, Thomas Jr. is quite uncomfortable.

Just last season, it wasn't like that.

But now, just a few short months later, everything has changed, and it has become difficult for little Thomas to adapt, and it feels like a dream.
