The Knicks didn't lose again until mid-January, losing to the Kings.

It's not a gutter overturn, and the Kings are expected to make the playoffs. After trading Isaiah Thomas out of the team, the Kings' No. 1 defense went up a notch. Under Mike Malone's tutelage, they finally learned to defend.

In the summer, the Kings brought in a group of people such as Reggie Evans, Carl Landry, Darren Collisson, and Sessions, and the strength of the interior and exterior has improved. With the addition of Gay, Thompson, and Cousins, the Kings played a beautiful combination of inside and out.

Last season, O'Neal disparaged Dwight Howard of the Rockets on multiple occasions, believing that Howard had not improved in nine years, while O'Neal felt that DeMarcus Cousins could replace the Monsters and dominate the league as the No. 1 center.

In the past three seasons, the 211CM Cousins has averaged a solid double-double per game, and last season he played 22. 7 points 11. 7 rebounds 2. 9 assists 1. 5 steals 1. 3 caps of the luxurious number jù. He is a rare inside talent, but because of his hot personality and many stalemates with the team, his prospects have not been optimistic.

A hot temper doesn't mean he doesn't have a ball quotient, he occasionally makes fools, but most of the time he plays smartly, so he can play luxury numbers.

Cousins is even more fierce this season, 32. 5 minutes per game, 23 per game. 8 points 12. 6 rebounds 2. 8 assists 1. 2 steals 1. 5 caps. There are few centers in the league who can block him, and he can not only rely on his strong body to attack in the low post, but also shoot in the center after blocking.

The Kings and Rockets have played twice this season, and both Kings have won.

When the two centers are faced one-on-one, Cousins can rely on rich offensive means to make Howard, who attaches importance to the defense of the restricted area, unable to defend, and Howard, who relies on scoring under the basket, can only rely on his body to score, when encountering Cousins, a center like 2011CM, weighing 122 kg and excellent athleticism, often unsatisfactory, the Rockets' interior advantage completely disappears.

These two games Howard was obviously pressed by Cousins, and Howard, the first center, was a past Magic period, and it was difficult for him to return to that period. And even at that time, Howard's free throws and mid-range shots were terrible.

After the game, the reporter asked Zhou Xuan to evaluate Cousins.

Zhou Xuan said: "He is very strong, the offensive end is very comprehensive, he used to be easily excited, and he was poor in shooting selection, but in the past two seasons he has improved significantly, and his shooting percentage is improving." If he can completely calm down and play sensible, I think he should have a higher shooting percentage, and of course he's already good, and he should be an All-Star this year. ”

This soon came true, and fans finally stopped ignoring the big man, who received a high number of votes in the All-Star vote and was even expected to be a starter.

In addition to the Kings in January, the Knicks lost to the Pelicans.

After Asik's arrival, the bench has also improved, with excellent stars inside and outside, and Anthony Davis has returned to the right power forward position, and his number jù can almost compete for the scoring title, averaging 25+10 per game, and three blocks.

In the final game of January, the Knicks defeated the Thunder, who were making an impact on the playoffs.

The Thunder let go of Sefrosa in the summer. The fans said that it was nothing, and they couldn't see what Sephorosa was using from the number of jù, the 3-point shot was unreliable at the critical moment, and it was not as good as the old fish, and the defensive ability was average, at least in the Thunder, there was no immediate effect, and he played less and less time last season.

As a result, without Seferosa, the Thunder's defense and demolition were weakened by a notch, and after the middle opponent blocked and dismantled, whether it was Morrow or Lamb, the confrontation ability was too poor and it was easy to be squeezed out. When encountering a strong interior line that can shoot, the Thunder is not good at defense.

Lefu slipped in the number of knights jù strict zhòng, only 17. 1 point 9. 3 rebounds, when he played the Thunder, he scored 33 points and 18 rebounds, and almost hit 30+20. Also bullying the Thunder were Cousins, Griffin, Jefferson and others.

Even though the league's top scorer Durant has returned, and Westbrook, the top five point guard, is still brave, the Thunder are still playing hard this season, and it is getting harder and harder to win. The two forwards brought in by the draft are not used at all, and Perkins is a waste of slag.

Offensively, the Thunder still don't have a lot of tactics, and management continues to trust Brooks and squander the talent of the stars.

Durant is conflicted right now, and the harsh reality is that if you don't go, it's hard to win a championship. But the Thunder uniform team promised to find him a helper in the summer. I don't know who to look for, but if he doesn't play well after coming, he will renew his contract for at least another five years. In another five years, Durant will also be a veteran who will be over 30 years old.

Westbrook is as desperate as ever, with fewer breakaways and more pullup jumpers. With Rose's experience and injuries himself, he had to be careful.

In this sense, Westbrook is smart. Because he is smart, he is also thinking about whether to jump out of the contract in the future, or look at Durant's decision. If Durant leaves, there's no need to stay when his contract expires. He can be a leader in the future, but he knows that with his style of play, it will be difficult to win a championship without a good partner.

This season, Vi has played a lot of minutes, 32. 2 minutes per game averaged 27. 1 point 5. 4 rebounds 6. With 8 assists, he temporarily leads the scoring charts and has reached his peak.

Ibaka's number jù is also very stable, and he still relies on mid-range shots, 15+7 counts, and there is no low-post offense. It's not that he doesn't want to play in the low post, it's not that he doesn't want to dominate, it's that his weight can't do that, and if he develops an offense with the ball like Jamison and scores with skill, maybe there's room for improvement.

Relying on the best record in the league, Zhou Xuan won the best player in the East for two consecutive months. Averaged 17 per game. 4 points 1. 8 rebounds and 16. 6 assists 2. 3 steals.

Entering February, the league's teams are strong and weak, and the top eight teams in the East are the Knicks, Raptors, Wizards, Hawks, Bulls, Cavaliers, Bucks, and Nets.

The Heat and Celtics are in ninth or tenth place and also have a chance to make the playoffs.

The Heat have dropped a lot this season, and Wade is no longer the Flash he used to be. He re-emerged as the team's attacking core, shooting 44 from the field. 7%, after blocking and dismantling, Scola can't pull out the inside like Bosh, and the opponent can wrap Wade.

Hardaway Jr. has a good offense and a poor defense, and Kerr is even worse. Small forward Lore Deng is okay, but his defense is actually better than offense, and his shooting percentage is average, and he can't use the playful style of playmaking like James.

Just like when James left the Cavaliers, the Heat couldn't find the feeling of winning. James' style of play as a striker requires a lot of possession in his own hands, and over time his teammates will become dependent on him. When James was there, the shortcomings of poor organizational ability at the No. 1 position were not too strict, and he didn't need to be organized, and he only used to shoot three-pointers in the running position. Now they need to be in the No. 1 position to keep the ball, and they can't do it well, and Chalmers, who starts, only averages 4 assists per game.

The Heat owners are not satisfied with Riley's summer operation, and the only consolation is that the Heat do not have to pay the luxury tax, and without James, Miller, Jones, and Lewis contracts, their salaries have been significantly reduced, just above the salary cap. At the end of this season, if Chandler does not renew his contract, it will be even lower.

Chandler is likely not to renew his contract, and many teams that lack a center are eyeing him, and the Mavericks are the first to be among them, and they have always lacked a big man who can defend. Daim Potter moves too slowly and can only be in the box, and the number jù is pretty, but not what the Mavericks want. Cuban also wants Nowitzki to win another championship before he retires.

The Cavaliers only finished sixth in the East was even more surprising, and Blatter's adjustments to several rosters didn't work, and their defense was terrible.

All numbers have declined, with only James remaining super-efficient, averaging 25 per game. 4 points 5. 2 rebounds 7. 8 assists 1. 4 steals. No matter how beautiful the number is, James can't be happy. Rumors of infighting among the Cavaliers have spread in the media, and James has publicly disgruntled his teammates' appearances, and they have been out of action this season.

The Warriors have the best record in the West with 28 wins and 6 losses. Curry number jù is beautiful, 24. 8 points 5. 2 rebounds 7. 6 assists and 2 steals. He is a strong contender for MVP. Thompson averaged 21 per game. 1 point 3. 6 rebounds 3. Four assists proved that he deserved the top salary. David Lee was injured, and Draymond Green played unexpectedly well, becoming a qualified starting No. 4, ensuring the team's record.

The Trail Blazers are second in second place, and their offensive and defensive systems are already good, with Matthews making up for the weakness of the No. 2 position.

The Grizzlies are third in the list, and the duo is competitive on the inside, with pitchers on the perimeter.

The Rockets are fourth, the Clippers are fifth, and the Spurs are only sixth.

The Duncan count did not fall, and Parker and Ginobili both began to decline. Also getting worse is Dio, the dead fat man became depraved after signing the contract, Popovich scolded uselessly, and the shooting percentage was low. Split is still blue-collar and doesn't help much on the offensive end.

The Pelicans are seventh, and the Mavericks are eighth. The Suns, Kings, and Thunder are close behind, with similar records, and are all expected to overtake and enter the playoffs in the second half.

As for the Lakers, the bottom of the league is only better than the Timberwolves. At the beginning of the season, there were 8 consecutive defeats, and Nick Young only played a little better after his return.

The Lakers are as experts predicted, even more depraved than last season. After Kobe Bryant returned, he still dared to take on the offensive responsibility as before the injury, Jeremy Lin did not have the ball, and the number of jù declined across the board.

Nick Yang's number is not bad, but he is angry and publicly says that someone in the team is too lonely, and the team can't win. What is the concept that makes Nick Young feel more alone than himself?

Nick Young and Kobe Bryant taunted each other in the summer, and Young said that he could beat Kobe Bryant alone, and said that he was Kobe's mentor this summer. As a result, the two exchanged trash talk in preseason training, and during the training game, Kobe Bryant tore the ligament in Nick Young's thumb with an elbow and missed two months of games.

Now Yang is dishonest again, and the countdown to leaving the team is already in the countdown.

Bryant averaged 24 per game. 1 point, 5 rebounds, 4. 8 assists, an outrageously low shooting percentage of only 36. 7%, 27 three-pointers. 1%, he still has to vote if he can't vote.

The scariest thing is that Kobe Bryant is still the highest-paid player in the league this season. With a super high salary, the defensive end makes people pass casually, and persistently helps the league's 29 teams become stronger.

Kobe Bryant played in spite of the team in order to surpass Jordan in the total scoring list, but he forgot that he had already thrown Jordan N roads in the iron list......

In an interview, Bryant said: "I'm still recovering, I believe I can get back into shape, I'm not going to retire at the end of this season, I want to play another year or two." ”

Experts predict that in one to two years, he is likely to play until he is 40 years old, striving to surpass Abdul-Jabbar and become the league's all-time leading scorer. And he has surpassed Havlicek in the regular season this season and has become the first in history. Coupled with the number of iron played in the playoffs, Kobe Bryant has long been the first in history.

If Kobe Bryant wants to continue playing, the Lakers will have to renew his contract, and he will definitely bleed heavily. In 2013, Bryant made it clear: "I will never accept a pay cut, I will do my best to demand what I deserve." ”

In the past, people said that little Buzz was a pit father, which was incorrect, he had long regarded Kobe as his father, this is Kobe Bryant's son.
