The NBA has just announced the new weekly best, this week's weekly best belongs to 2 very good guards, the East is the Pacers' Haliburton, who averaged 25.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 17.7 assists per game, and organized the whole team to achieve a 3-0 record. The Western Conference Weekly Champion was Alexander of the Thunder, who averaged 33.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, integrating offense and defense, leading the team to a 4-0 record. Both of them deserve to win the award, and it also represents a new era for the league.
The former league façade represented by James, Curry and Durant has declined sharply, the Warriors, Lakers and Suns, with a good lineup but poor records, young people are creating their own era. Among them, the two-way guard Alexander is the new king of the Thunder, and he played a performance that did not lose the performance of the Thunder three less, a wild record that no one has achieved in the 21st century, and Alexander has also successfully done it.
Alexander's performance was not just the last week. During the entire month of December, Alexander played 13 games, maintained full attendance, and averaged 31.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 3.1 steals per game. In November, Alexander also played 13 games, when he averaged 32.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and his shooting percentage remained at 56%.
In doing so, Alexander also achieved a record that no one has achieved since the 21st century, and he became the only guard player to average 30 points per game + 55% shooting for two consecutive months. This record is very difficult and the gold content is also very high. You must know that a guard maintains a 45% shooting rate, which is already extremely good, and it is difficult to exceed 50%, and a 55% shooting rate is an absolute miracle, not to mention an average of 30 points per game.
Looking at the entire history of the NBA, there are only 2 guards who have achieved an average of 30 points per game + 55% shooting rate for 2 consecutive months. In addition to Alexander, the other is Jordan, the god of basketball, which shows how tough Alexander is today. Even legends such as Curry, Kobe, Harden, and Wade in their prime, have not played this kind of performance.
So far this season, Alexander has averaged 31.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.6 steals per game, and his shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 54.6%. This kind of offensive and defensive performance is also one of the best in the history of the NBA. And Alexander is only 25 years old, even compared with Durant, Wei Shao and Harden at his peak, Alexander is not left behind, and he is completely worthy of the nickname of "the new king of the Thunder". If he continues to play like this, Alexander has a good chance to win the first regular season MVP trophy of his career.
