In the 15 games in January, the Lakers' main opponents will be the Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Jazz, 76ers, Thunder and other teams, and these games are mostly on the road.

And for Wang Feng, the more important thing this month is that Harden is about to explode.

In another time and space, Harden averaged 43.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game in January!

In 14 games this month, Harden will score 1 60+ game, 2 50+ games, 5 40+ games and 6 30+ points, including 32 points and 14 assists in the least scoring game!

At present, Wang Feng still occupies a leading position in the scoring list, relying on his excellent 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, ranking first in the scoring list.

Harden's current average score per game is 34.4 points, a difference of 3.8 points from Wang Feng, which is definitely not a particularly big point difference.

……

On January 3, the Rockets faced the Warriors away from home, and after an overtime, they finally narrowly defeated the Warriors by one point with a score of 135-134.

Harden shot 13-of-32 from the field and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line for a massive triple-double of 44 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists.

Then he scored 38 points, 42 points, 44 points and 37 points in four games against the Trail Blazers, Nuggets, Bucks and Cavaliers!

In five games, Harden averaged 41 points, 8.4 rebounds and 12 assists per game, and was successfully selected as the first weekly player of the week.

And Wang Feng was not to be outdone.

On January 2, the Lakers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 117-107 at home, and Wang Feng scored 37 points and 11 rebounds.

On January 4, the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks 119-112, and Wang Feng scored 41 points in the game.

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, and Wang Feng scored 39 points.

On January 9, the Lakers defeated the Pistons 113-100, and Wang Feng scored a full 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 in a row.

"As the NBA schedule enters January, the battle between Wang Feng and Harden on the scoring list has also entered a white-hot stage, both of them have used their best to show their strongest scoring ability, compared with these two, the scores of other players in the league are a notch worse!"

"The best player in the East to play and win the Player of the Week award Joel. Embiid has only averaged 29 points and 13 rebounds per game in recent games, which is completely inferior to Harden and Wang Feng in terms of statistical performance. ”

"These two Western players are like they are on the scoresheet, and they have to fight to the death in the scoring rankings! But if this is not the case, we will not see such a visual feast for the majority of our audience. ”

In the process of the two powers, on January 11, the results of the second round of the All-Star voting were announced, Wang Feng continued to lead the league, and James and Antetokounmpo were still ranked second and third.

Although Harden competes with Wang Feng in the scoring list, he is far inferior to Wang Feng in terms of popularity, and is currently only ranked second in the Western Conference guard vote, lower than Stephen Curry.

And in all positions in the West, Harden can only rank fifth in the number of votes, behind Wang Feng, James, Curry and Paul. George.

In fact, if you talk about data, except for Wang Feng, whether it is James Curry or George is inferior to Harden, but the All-Star vote is not compared to the player's score, but to the audience base.

Although Harden's score is very exaggerated, only Wang Feng can overwhelm one, but as long as fans who have watched the Rockets game, they will never think that Harden's game is beautiful.

Harden's scoring average has risen to around 35.6 points per game, but 11.2 of those points have come from free throws.

A large number of free throws caused the Rockets' game to be intermittent, extremely inconsistent, and the Harden game was really ugly to watch.

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, like bloody muscle collision confrontation, who would like to stand on the free throw line and squeeze toothpaste like scoring 1 point by point?

Of course, the premise is that Harden's competitors are top superstars such as Wang Feng, James, and Curry.

If you look at it further, Harden's popularity is definitely much higher than that of a first-class star, and with the current vote rate, it is not a problem to start the All-Star Game.

……

At a press conference at the end of a game after the results of the second round of the 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 '17 and '18, and you won all three singles championships during the All-Star Weekend in '18 last year."

"So, will you sign up for three projects at the same time during All-Star Weekend this year, as you did in the previous two years?"

Faced with this question, Wang Feng did not hesitate at all, and replied straightforwardly: "Of course, I like these single events at All-Star Weekend very much, I think these competitions are very interesting, and I will also participate in them all this year, and it is best to win the championship if I can, if not, it is also a very good result to focus on participation." ”

The singles event and the All-Star Game itself are held on alternate days, and none of these events are particularly physically demanding, except for the slam dunk contest, which can be a bit more wasted because of the idea and practice dunking.

Considering that as long as you win the championship, you can get the reward of stat improvement, the champion of these individual events, especially the three-point ability value bonus of the champion of the three-point contest, is more important than the victory of a few games in the regular season!

Wang Feng will continue to participate in the three singles events of All-Star Weekend.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused quite a stir.

Fans who like Wang Feng are naturally very happy to see their idols win more trophies and brush up their presence.

And some fans who don't like Wang Feng feel that Wang Feng is a little too pretending.

"It's enough to do it once or twice, and you're really going to monopolize all the NBA All-Star singles titles? Did you know that doing so would offend a lot of people? You're high, you're amazing! The rest of the league players are rubbish, and you're the best! ”

"It's not just a singles 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 was originally a stage for star entertainment performances, and other stars were playing, so Wang Feng was seriously brushing the data, and finally brushed out an All-Star MVP, this kind of thing is just one or two times, if Wang Feng is still doing this this year, there will definitely be players who are unhappy, give him a lesson! ”
