This is the Spurs' first triple-double of the season, and in the Spurs' system where everyone shares the ball, it is not easy to get a triple-double.

This game also made Chinese fans very excited, as time went by, coupled with Li Yang from time to time to participate in some interviews organized by the Chinese media, more and more Chinese fans regard Li Yang as a Chinese player, after seeing Li Yang have such an outstanding performance, it is naturally extremely happy, it is foreseeable that in the subsequent All-Star vote, Li Yang's votes should usher in a significant increase.

"It's just a triple-double in a game, which isn't a big deal, there are too many players in the NBA who have had a triple-double. ”

Although some people think that Li Yang's outburst is very accidental, but then, Li Yang began to fight back with one game after another, although he did not get another triple-double, but the good form still made many people have to shut up.

After entering the new year, Li Yang was in a very good state, and suddenly ushered in a big explosion.

After a triple-double against the Trail Blazers, Li Yang recorded a double-double in the following game against the Kings, where he had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists to help the team continue to win.

Then, they met last season's Finals opponents, the Miami Heat, for the first time since the Finals, in Miami.

The loss in the Finals last season obviously put a lot of pressure on the Miami Heat's players, after all, the whole world said they could defend the title, but in the end they fell to the Finals, allowing the Spurs to take away the O'Brien Cup.

In addition, the veterans of the Heat team this season have been affected by injuries, and their record has been suppressed by the Pacers in the East, which makes the whole Heat team hold their energy.

The Heat did play very well in this game, they won the Spurs by 10 points in the first quarter, and after the first half, the difference between the two teams widened to 18 points.

After the start of the third quarter, the Spurs began to chase points, especially at the end of the third quarter, Li Yang took the bench players to completely blow up the opponent's bench, Li Yang got 6 points and 3 assists in just 4 minutes, helping the Spurs narrow the gap to only 7 points.

Although in the end, the Spurs were still unable to complete the reversal and win by 5 points, but the transition period between the third and fourth quarters of the game really made Heat fans break out in a cold sweat.

Although the Spurs lost the game, it was indeed because the Heat played very well in this game, in fact, the Spurs players performed well in this game, and Li Yang was completely worthy of the word excellent, in the whole game, he got 21 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

In three consecutive games, Li Yang scored more than 20 points, showing his good form during this period.

In the following game against the Nets, Li Yang was plagued by fouls, and his playing time and statistics were somewhat affected, but even so, he still had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

And just one game later, Li Yang once again rebounded in the game against the Timberwolves.

24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, in the game against the Timberwolves, Li Yang's hand was hot, he shot 3 from outside the three-point line, and his breakthrough made the Timberwolves' already weak interior even more vulnerable.

Against the Rockets, Magic, Mavericks, Knicks, Bucks...... In January, although the Spurs' results were not as dazzling as the previous two months because of the start of the rotation, Li Yang's outburst made Chinese fans excited.

In 14 games in January, the Spurs went 10-4 and improved their record to 39-7, still leading the league and three more than the Thunder.

In these 14 games, because of the increase in the playing time of the team's wheel body, coupled with Li Yang's excellent state this month, he can average 20.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

Such data, even if it is only a single month, is enough to shock the outside world, you must know that this is in the Spurs, and now the Spurs' highest scoring Tony Parker is only averaging 16.7 points per game, and Li Yang has increased his average score per game to 16.1 with his performance this month, ranking second only to Parker in the team.

Li Yang's one-month explosion turned out to be that his popularity continued to climb, and it also allowed him to truly lock in the position of the Western All-Star starter.

At the end of January, the final All-Star vote was announced, and Durant, who has a very high MVP call this season, got 1496294 votes to beat James to become the vote king, and Li Yang also ranked second in the Western All-Star and fourth in the league with 1125743 votes.

In addition to Durant and Li Yang, Griffin, Kobe Bryant, and Curry have taken the other three positions of the Western Conference All-Star starter, and because Kobe Bryant has been injured for the season, his place will be replaced by a player, who is likely to be Paul or Harden.

Griffin also has an interior player in the West, while in the East Five, there is no interior at all, and three forwards James, Anthony, George, and two guards, Wade and Irving, make up the All-Star starting lineup in the East.

In addition to being an All-Star starter, Li Yang was also invited to participate in the Rookie Challenge as a sophomore, and the league also recently announced that they will send Li Yang an invitation to the slam dunk contest.

For a time, Li Yang was in the limelight.

Li Yang is getting more and more popular, which has brought a lot of pressure to the Spurs, and the reason is simple, because Li Yang's contract expires this season.

Although it is only in the middle of the season, according to the information that the Spurs know, many teams have already set their sights on Li Yang and even started to make some tentative contact with Bill Duffy.

And judging from Li Yang's performance during this time, it is clear that his new contract will be very large, how can the person who has been selected as an All-Star starter have a small contract?

The Spurs did not expect Li Yang to suddenly usher in a big outburst, and immediately attracted the attention of other teams, they were naturally unwilling to wait passively at this time, so RC Buford took the initiative to find Bill Duffy to discuss Li Yang's contract renewal. (To be continued.) )
