Chapter 305: Best of the Month and Milestones

The six-game winning streak in the opening game was ended by the Knicks, and Anthony and Tang Wenlong staged a scoring drama.

The 76ers rotated the guards to compete with Anthony, and the Knicks did not show weakness to use a bunch of quality experts to find Tang Wenlong's unhappiness, but in this game, Anthony and Tang Wenlong's hands were so good that they were bursting.

"Superstars are like that sometimes." Maddie, who has been playing in the CBA Qingdao team, said in an interview with domestic media, he looked at the fiery eyes of the Chinese fans and gave his highest evaluation without hesitation, "Tang Wenlong is a scorer at the same level as me, he still has a long period of peak time, he is very, very comprehensive, and his shooting skills are unmatched." ”

In this game, Anthony scored 41 points and 15 rebounds, Tang Wenlong scored 49 points and 8 assists, Tang Wenlong scored to win the Knicks, but the Knicks finally won 109-102 against the 76ers.

"What a step forward!" After the game, Tang Wenlong praised the Knicks' performance.

"I've seen a different side of the New York Knicks this season, the Knicks are very competitive players, and under Cameron's leadership, there will definitely be some breakthrough results, and I'm looking forward to playing again next year, they are respectable enemies."

These words of praise for the Knicks are very in line with the psychology of arrogant New Yorkers, especially when this kind of words are said by a figure with a head and a face like Tang Wenlong, which makes them even more proud, and the support for Anthony, Chandler and other stars on the team is also unprecedentedly high.

"Say two words of praise and you won't die." Tang Wenlong thought so in his heart.

The more low-key he is, the more the league's eyes will be on other big teams, such as the Lakers this year, every team he meets will try their best to show themselves, after all, there are great benefits to be gained from beating such a team that is far more valuable than himself.

So the Lakers, led by new interim coach John Blair Bekstaff, struggled through the swamp. The 76ers, on the other hand, are on the right track for the season.

In mid-November, the 76ers had three road games against the Pistons, Cavaliers and Raptors.

Among them, the Cavaliers and Raptors were still back-to-back away from home, and the physical exertion of the players was huge, and in the end they failed to maintain a complete victory and lost to the Raptors' home court.

Then he returned to his home court to rest for two days against the Jazz from afar.

The 76ers easily defeated the Jazz 110-93, Tang Wenlong scored 21 points in the third quarter and scored 40 points in the game, which is also the second time this season that he has scored 40+.

At the beginning of the season, Tang Wenlong's score was much lower than last season, and after the high-scoring game soared, the score rose gradually, and immediately rushed to the first group of the NBA scoring list - Anthony, Durant, Kobe, and James.

After these few games, the Rockets' Harden completely broke the NBA's understanding of him.

In the first two games of the new season for the Rockets, he scored 37 points, 12 assists and 45 points and 7 rebounds, and shot 14 of 25 in one game, and 15 of 19 in one game, especially in the game against the Hawks, not to mention 15 of 19 shots and 15 of 17 free throws, which is simply a representative of efficient scorers in the new era. It was after these two games that Harden confirmed his position with the Houston Rockets, and no one could shake it.

He became Houston's new darling, and countless praises poured in him, and he was completely on fire in this league.

After the middle of the year, Harden's average points per game stabilized at about 26 points, which surpassed Westbrook, who was still above him in the Thunder ranking that year, because he had unlimited firing rights, and the Rockets did not have a bad record.

In late November, the 76ers suffered their third loss of the season, losing to the Suns on the road to Phoenix.

The Suns have maintained the usual run-and-shoot tradition this season, and after losing Nash, they talked about Dragic to straighten up, and at the same time partnered with Shannon Brown, Mike Beasley, Marcin Gortat and other basketball players who can run and jump, to put it bluntly, it is a copy of the run-and-shoot team that swept the league seven or eight years ago.

The direction of cultivation is good, at least when it breaks out, even a top team like the 76ers will be inexplicably pulled down.

As a result, in this game, the Suns scored 7 double-doubles, and the multi-point flowering made the 76ers unable to defend themselves, and it was not as good as the Suns who seized many opportunities in the case of attacking the offense. In the end, 107-115 to the Suns, Tang Wenlong scored a game-high 35 points, but it didn't work.

After that, the 76ers traveled to Dallas, narrowly beat the Cowboys by two points, and then returned to their home court to defeat the underdog Cavaliers, and all the games in November were over.

The 76ers led by Tang Wenlong have a 13-3 record, ranking second in the league, and the first is the Thunder in the West, who won the rest of the games except for the opening game to the 76ers and the Wizards in the next game, and won the rest of the games, with a 13-2 record, which is still above the 76ers.

Less than two games into December, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West for the first month.

Tang Wenlong's average of 29.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game so far surpassed the Eastern team and won the title of Eastern Player of the Month in the first month. The West was unsurprisingly awarded to Durant, who averaged 31.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, and his statistics were no worse than Tang Wenlong's.

It seems that it is not entirely unreasonable for the two teams to reach the finals last year.

In Tang Wenlong's second game in December, in the game with the Bulls, Tang Wenlong scored his 8th point in the second quarter of the game, and his career total came to 5,000 points.

It was his milestone statistic, and the crowd gave him a long round of applause, and he was also the youngest player in the league to score 5,000 points, a record held by James.

As a result, there is a very strange phenomenon in the league, Kobe's series of youngest scoring records have been broken by James, and Tang Wenlong may break James's record of breaking a series of young scoring records created by Kobe Bryant at this rate.

And unconsciously, Tang Wenlong is already on a par with historical superstars such as James and Kobe, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.

The biggest difference between him and Harden is that the stage that Harden is currently going through has already been experienced by Tang Wenlong as the first two seasons. (To be continued.) )
