After defeating the Charlotte Hornets, the Los Angeles Clippers traveled to challenge the Detroit Pistons.
As expected, the Pistons were defeated with little resistance.
The Clippers' journey continued; after defeating the Pistons, they successively beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Washington Wizards, and Sacramento Kings.
They surpassed the defending champions Golden State Warriors to become the number one team in the entire league!
However, the Clippers' winning streak could not be sustained.
The King of the North, the Toronto Raptors, employed a full-court double-team strategy against Kai Chen.
Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam began to besiege Kai at the start of the game.
And on offense, the Raptors utilized more ball movement to tear apart the Clippers' defensive system, successfully defeating the Clippers.
However, in today's game, although the Raptors won against the Clippers, Kai Chen's performance on the offensive end was still unstoppable!
Kai, who scored 48 points in the entire game, could completely leave Toronto with his head held high.
Around the world, many fans expressed:
The Los Angeles Clippers lost, but Kai didnt!
Ultimately, the Clippers finished their November schedule with a record of 18 wins and 2 losses.
December 1st
The NBA also didn't sit idle; on its official website, it timely announced the best players of the previous week for the East and West.
First to become the Eastern Conference Player of the Week was the rising Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Giannis averaged 33.4 points, 13 rebounds, and 8.9 assists last week, leading his team to a three-game winning streak and an undefeated week!
Becoming the Player of the Week was indeed well-deserved!
There was no surprise for the Western Conference Player of the Week.
Kai Chen was named Player of the Week for the fourth time in his professional career.
It was his fourth consecutive week winning the Player of the Week award.
Although they lost an away game to the Toronto Raptors last week, Kai's individual performance was indeed unparalleled.
While maintaining insane statistics, he also managed to inspire his teammates to deliver career-highlight performances.
Whether it was Beverley, Lopez, or Carmelo, all of them achieved their best offensive efficiency last week.
He got better himself, the team's record remained first in the league, and his teammates also improved.
Kai Chen winning Player of the Week was well-deserved!
At the same time, Kai officially surpassed Yao Ming to become the player with the most Player of the Week awards from Asia.
And this was only the beginning of his professional career!
TNT immediately published a headline stating: "Kai Chen's future, perhaps, is now!"
In the main text, TNT also stated: The surpassing in Player of the Week awards is merely the first step in Kai Chen's various honors.
This season, he is very likely to contend for the Most Valuable Player trophy and the NBA championship!
Of course, becoming the Asian basketball GOAT is basically a foregone conclusion.
But to say that he will win the Most Valuable Player trophy and lead his team to a championship in his rookie season, and become the greatest player in history in the future, that is a bit exaggerated.
However, even with such an exaggerated writing style, it still received support from most fans.
According to the individual strength Kai has displayed so far, he might truly be another player in NBA history who can threaten Michael Jordan's reign as the league's top player!
After all, when discussing the greatest player of all time, the most compelling argument is individual awards and honors.
The awards Jordan received in his rookie season were not as dominant as Kai's!
But Michael Jordan's honor of six NBA Finals appearances and six championships also puts a lot of pressure on Kai!
After announcing the Player of the Week awards, the NBA subsequently announced the various monthly awards for the East and West for November!
First, the Rookie of the Month award.
In the East, the Rookie of the Month was won by the fifth overall pick, Trae Young, from the Atlanta Hawks!
Because in this year's draft, whether it was the first overall pick Deandre Ayton, or the second overall pick Marvin Bagley, or the third overall pick Kai Chen, or even the European king Luka Dončić, they were all clustered in the Western Conference.
This also led to Trae Young easily winning the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for November, even though the Hawks' record was poor due to years of tanking and failing to establish a team culture.
As for the Western Conference Rookie of the Month, there was even less suspense.
Even though Luka Dončić delivered near triple-double performances in the latter half of November.
In the Western Conference, due to the presence of the great demon king Kai, the Rookie of the Month could only belong to him!
As for the reason the NBA gave for Kai Chen becoming Rookie of the Month, it was very simple.
They did not list Kai Chen's individual statistics one by one, nor did they list Kai's representative games.
The NBA official website only gave one sentence: Kai Chen is creating an unparalleled myth in his rookie season.
Throughout NBA history, he is unique!
With the team's record as a backup, Kai's individual statistics were also excellent, and winning Rookie of the Month was what the people wanted!
Subsequently,
The NBA official website also announced the Eastern and Western Conference Coaches of the Month for November.
In the East, Coach Stephenson, who coaches the Boston Celtics, was named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for November.
And in the West, Coach Rivers won this award after a long time.
After the Rookie of the Month and Coach of the Month were announced, the most significant awards for November—the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month—were also revealed.
First to enter the media and fans' view was the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.
The competition for the Eastern Conference Player of the Month was quite fierce.
The Boston Celtics, with their five superstars, achieved a record of 16 wins and 3 losses this month, a record only lower than the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors.
Their star player, Kyrie Irving, although his statistics were not explosive, still managed to average 25.5 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Closely following were the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers.
The star players of these two teams both delivered unparalleled individual statistics.
Giannis averaged 30.4 points, 11 rebounds, and 8.8 assists throughout November.
And Embiid from Philadelphia was not to be outdone, averaging a super 32.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2.1 blocks.
Ultimately, the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for November was awarded to Giannis!
Although some fans felt it was unfair to Kyrie Irving and Embiid, they actually had other star players on their teams.
Whereas Giannis only had a group of three-point shooters around him.
After seeing the Eastern Conference Player of the Month's recipient, fans eagerly turned their attention to the announcement of the Western Conference Player of the Month.
Fans were mentally prepared, but also full of anticipation!
The Western Conference Player of the Month for November belonged to the Los Angeles Clippers' third overall pick—Kai Chen.
Throughout November, Kai led his team to the best record in the entire league, while his individual statistics also reached an average of 42.1 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists!
An average of 42.1 points, this was the first time in NBA history, besides Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant, that a player achieved the feat of averaging 40+ points in a month. [1]
And he was only a rookie!
The only player who could average 40+ points in his rookie season was Kai Chen!
==========
[1] James Harden has also averaged 40+ in a month but that hasn't happened yet in this story.
