Nine Hundred and Thirty-Three: An Advance Gift to Simmons

Russell Westbrook, like Harden, has not won any Best of the Month honors so far in his career.

Like James Harden, he also played a performance this month that can definitely win the best performance of the month at any time in the past.

On February 23, in the Thunder's victory over the Nuggets, Westbrook played 27 minutes and contributed 21 points, 17 assists and 8 rebounds. The number of assists tied his career record.

On February 25, in the Thunder's victory over the Pacers, Westbrook scored a triple-double of 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, the 11th triple-double in his career.

On February 27, the Thunder lost to the Suns 113-117 in overtime in an away game. Although he lost the game, Westbrook scored 39 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, contributing a triple-double in two consecutive games.

On February 28, in the game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, Westbrook contributed 40 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. He scored a triple-double in three consecutive games in his career, becoming the first player after Link to achieve this achievement. players.

Throughout February, Westbrook led the Thunder to an outstanding record of 9 wins and 3 losses. He averaged a near-triple-double of 31.2 points, 10.3 assists and 7.5 rebounds per game.

In addition, Westbrook also set a career record with double-digit assists in 6 consecutive games.

The scoring and assists in 6 consecutive games reached 20+10, which also tied Gary Payton's team history record.

At the same time, Westbrook also reached the achievement of scoring more than 10,000 career points in February...

His performance is unmatched, but unfortunately, he is the same as Harden.

Like Harden, he has not won the Best of the Month, and like Harden, he has had an incredible month. Just like Harden, even with his extraordinary performance, he still missed out on being named the best player of the month...

On the evening of March 2, the NBA officially announced the selection results of the Eastern and Western Players of the Month for February.

In the Eastern Conference, James won the Best of the Month honor for the first time this season with 24.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists and a record of 8 wins and 3 losses.

Westbrook is better than James in terms of personal data and team record. But it is a pity that he failed to win the Western Conference Player of the Month award despite his better performance.

The reason is simple - Link is in the west!

The Western Conference Player of the Month for February was once again given to Link!

Even though Westbrook's data has become so abnormal, Link still dominates the "Turtle".

The first is the team record. The Grizzlies' record in February is 10 wins and 2 losses. Whether compared with the Thunder's 9 wins and 3 losses or the Cavaliers' 8 wins and 3 losses, they are not far behind at all.

Secondly, from the perspective of personal data, Link’s February data is also quite exaggerated.

Averaged 30.4 points, 10.4 assists, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2.1 steals per game... Westbrook's terrifying statistics are slightly inferior to Link's.

Except for scoring 0.8 points more than Link, he lags behind in all aspects.

But don’t forget that while Westbrook scored 0.8 points more than Link,

The efficiency is much lower. Therefore, Westbrook's scoring performance is not necessarily better than Link's.

This is the second time this season that Link has averaged a triple-double in a single month.

With his personal data and team record better than Westbrook's, Link deservedly won the February Player of the Month award!

At this point, Link has won the best for 4 consecutive months this season. This allowed him to tie LeBron James in the 2009-10 season. Together, the two became the players with the most Best of the Month awards in a single season.

At the same time, Link is also the first player in the Western Conference to win the best player of the month for four consecutive months.

This time, Bill Simmons was really panicked.

Westbrook has been playing like this in February, but he still can't defeat Link. In the next two months, can anyone produce better data and performance than Westbrook?

Even Bill Simmons himself must admit that it is too difficult!

Judging from the current situation, Link has a high possibility of making history! Because in the entire western region, there was no way to pick an opponent for Link.

Maybe Grizzly Bear is not invincible, but Link as an individual is invincible.

Simmons was now very worried, and that evening he became even more anxious after watching a T.N.T show.

T. N.T specially invited the newly minted Western Conference Player of the Month Link to their studio tonight, and partnered with Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith for a talk show.

During the show, Link and O'Neal performed low-post 1V1, teamed up with Barkley to make the fans grin, and carefully analyzed future league game trends with Kenny Smith.

But these are not the highlight, the highlight comes at the end of the show.

"The last topic, Link. We all know that this is your fourth Player of the Month award this season. You only need to win two more to win all the Player of the Month awards in a single season. What a player's achievement! There is no doubt that if this really happens, it will be great. But I don't really care about how great it is. I care more about Bill Simmons' head."

As soon as O'Neal finished speaking, Barkley and Kenny Smith beside him started laughing.

"The three of us are bald, and bald is nothing. But I really can't imagine what it would be like for a guy like Bill Simmons to shave his head. Damn, he must be uglier than Shaq!" Barkley immediately complained, of course. , and did not forget to take advantage of O'Neal.

O'Neal glared at Barkley and then continued to ask, "Link, if Bill Simmons really shaved his head for this, how would you react? Would you laugh?"

Link shrugged, "No, you may not believe it. If Simmons really shaves his head, I will feel very sorry."

"You're right, we really don't believe it." Buckley exposed Link without hesitation.

"No, I'm not joking this time. In fact, I have already bought a hat for Simmons, just in case. If nothing else, the hat should be delivered to his door tomorrow. You see, I am still very considerate other's."

Link looked at the camera meaningfully, but Bill Simmons felt a chill down his back in March when the temperature was slowly rising...

※※※

Early in the morning on March 3, Bill Simmons received a large box of packages.

The courier dropped the package directly on the lawn of his yard, and judging from the outer packaging, it was indeed a box of hats.

Simmons was a little surprised. He thought Link was just joking on the show. Unexpectedly, he actually sent him a box of hats.

Simmons couldn't believe it. When did Link become so kind?

So, the famous basketball writer couldn't wait to open the box on the lawn.

But when he saw what was in the box, Simmons couldn't help but yelled, "Fuck!"

Then, he turned around and walked back to the house angrily.

The contents of the box were scattered on the lawn. What Link sent was indeed a hat, but it was a pile of empty hats that could not block the hair!

Link really carefully selected this gift...
