Before the 01-02 season, the NBA Player of the Month was divided into two parts.

In other words, at that time, only one player of the month would be born in one month, not two now. Throughout the season, only the best seat in 6 months.

Therefore, in that era, it was very difficult to be the best of the month for two consecutive months.

Even if it can get the two-month best in a single season, it will be extremely difficult.

Best three months in a single season? That is simply an impossible task.

Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing and other "big players of the month" in the 90s have never achieved the achievement of three player of the month in a single season.

Under the selection rules that do not distinguish between east and west, only the peak "big shark" has completed the best miracle of the next month three times in a single season.

At the beginning of the 01-02 season, the selection of the best player of the month began to distinguish between the east and the west, and the monthly best seats changed from 6 to 12.

As a result, taking the three-month best in a single season seems to be less difficult.

Since the 01-02 season, Garnett, Kobe and James have won three or more monthly awards in a single season.

The toughest is undoubtedly the 09-10 season James, that year he became the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for four consecutive months. It seems that the entire east is revolving around James.

Although it is easier than before to get the three-month best in a single season, there are only 4 stars in NBA history who can do this with a full play.

And these four guys, without a doubt, are all future Hall of Fame players.

In other words, if Link wins the next month's best in January, he will be as famous as the above four!

And in the highly competitive West, no one has ever been able to win the monthly best for three consecutive months.

There are too many strong players in the West. Take this season as an example. None of the top eight teams in the West is easy to mess with. In these teams that are not easy to mess with, there is generally a star with outstanding personal ability.

For example, James Harden of the Houston Rockets!

"The best of the month? Of course I want! In fact, I am working hard for this. So far in my career, I have never been involved in the honor of Player of the Month. I very much hope to break this embarrassment this season. recording."

In the sideline interview after the Rockets' victory over the Thunder, Harden made no secret of expressing his desire to grab the best of the month.

Now, the January schedule is over half. At present, the best chance of getting the best of the month is nothing more than Link and Harden.

Curry's data in January showed small fluctuations, and the Warriors also lost several key battles, which have been thrown away by Harden and Link.

The personal performance of other people is completely incomparable with Link and Harden.

If nothing changes in the second half of the month, then the best of the month in January is basically the situation where Harden and Link choose one of two.

The next day, the reporters also interviewed Link, another protagonist of the incident.

Unlike the energetic Harden, Link was not too excited when facing the honor of the best of the month.

"Best of the month? To be honest, I didn't think about it. The only thing I think about now is to continue the Grizzlies' winning streak. For me, victory is the most important thing."

Link did not say that he must compete with Harden, and that he must break the situation where no one in the west can have the best three-tiered village of the month.

His desire for this matter was obviously much weaker than Harden.

Harden has never won the best player of the month in his career, but after all, Link was the player who won the best player of the month in his rookie year...

For Link, this honor is not surprising.

What's more, the Grizzlies' lineup is relatively complete compared to the beginning of the season, and Link doesn't need to make a big deal.

Therefore, the data will certainly not be as gorgeous as the previous two months.

Seeing that Link didn't seem to care about it, Harden even more vigorously prepared to fight.

The best month for the first time seems to be near!

In the remaining games in January, James Harden showed his best form.

Playing the Warriors on January 17, although the Rockets lost, Harden's 23 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists are still very eye-catching.

On the 19th, the Rockets beat their opponents without George by 12 points. Harden scored 45 points in a single game!

After the game, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said bluntly, "James Harden has played MVP-level performance this season!"

On January 21, the Rockets lost to the Warriors for the second time in five days. But soon on January 23, Harden used 33 points and 10 assists and 3 steals, plus a mid-range shot lore in the last 1.3 seconds to win the stubbornly resisting Phoenix Suns!

A game of 45 points, a lore, so that Harden's call for the best of the month has become more and more loud.

The news of this bearded man was everywhere, and the heat even overwhelmed Link!

Now, people know that Harden is the best to go to the moon. Everyone believes that Harden's performance is unmatched.

Even Harden himself thinks so.

For the remaining four games in January, Harden has continued to work hard and played very well.

Playing the Lakers on January 25th, Harden had 37 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and played another game with a field goal percentage of more than 60%.

Playing the Mavericks on January 28, Harden did not give his former teammate Chandler Parsons face at all.

In the game, Harden scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. At first glance, Harden's data seems to have fallen sharply, but his 61.5% shooting percentage is a season high!

In the past, people complained that Harden would only touch porcelain, and his performance was extremely unstable.

But now, Harden has blocked everyone's mouth with two consecutive 60% shooting victories.

At the same time, it also proved that he does have the strength to compete for the best of the month.

On January 30, the Rockets VS Celtics, Harden made just 4 of 21 shots and only scored 14 points.

However, it is generally believed that occasionally a poor performance is harmless. Overall, Harden's performance in January is still quite amazing.

And the next day, in a back-to-back game with the Pistons, Harden was also very contenting to win back for himself.

Facing the defense of second-year Pistons guard Cadwell Pope, Harden made only 17 shots and hit 10 of them!

With 26 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Harden completely broke the controversy.

At this point, the Rockets' January game is over. At the end of the game, ESPN also immediately played Harden's January data at the bottom of the screen.

Harden averaged 25.8 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 17 games in January, plus 2.2 steals, and led the Rockets to 11 wins and 6 losses.

During this period, Harden scored at least 30 points in 8 games. In the game against the Indiana Pacers on January 20, Harden scored 45 points and 7 assists. Then, on January 24th, he challenged the Suns at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Harden scored 33 points and 10 assists, and made a mid-range shot lore.

He is extremely confident, he thinks the best of the month is already in his bag.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Harden even more confidently said, "I finally broke the embarrassment that the Rockets have not had the best player of the month since 2008!"

Although the best results of the month will not be announced until two days later, Harden has put the "crown" on his head!

After returning to the locker room, Harden happily checked Charlink's January data. This month, Link did not make any big news. He did not have 60 points in a single game or consecutive triple-doubles.

Harden thought that Link's performance should be rather mediocre.

As a result, when the beard saw Link's January data and Grizzlies' victory, he completely closed himself.

Harden suddenly realized that he seemed a bit overconfident...
