Chapter 1198 [Things must be reversed, who is the tumor]
On Feb. 15, the Lakers defeated the Suns 141-125 on the road, and the stars were on a winning streak until the weekend, bringing their record to a terrifying 58-game winning streak.
Since Guo Xu left the Suns, owner Brian Colangelo has lost a pair of sharp eyes. He continued to make fools, losing both the draft and trades, and gradually brought the Suns into the slump.
The 33-year-old Brandon Roy changed his fortunes, being a seven-time All-Star and a six-time champion, but this season he has become a veteran who averages just 8.7 points per game and his form has taken a serious dip.
Roy has been in the league for 11 seasons, which is enough. He hopes to achieve one person and one city, and is willing to reduce his salary and renew his contract to help newcomers improve their experience. It's a pity that the model of veterans leading rookies has not been successful, and the Suns' newcomers don't have much potential to tap.
The worst decision the Suns management made was to let go of Jimmy Butler, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten to where he is now, and he would have to fight to make the playoffs.
After Gortat's departure, the Suns' interior strength also weakened. They started with the non-tradeable Whiteside and Ibaka, who lacked offensive ability with the ball, and the non-draft NBA Allan Williams and blue-collar Festus Azeri came off the bench.
Now Serge Ibaka and Klay Thompson have requested a trade from management, and they are both hungry to win and want to play for a team with potential.
Brian agreed, ready to trade the stars on the team for a rebuild. He wanted to prove that without Guo Xu's advice, he could help the team rise.
Guo Xu scored 52 points, 11 assists and 4 steals in the face of his old club, but he didn't even make headlines.
After he retired, all the fans missed him, saying that the game would not look good without him, and the NBA would never find a star as dominant as him. As a result, he has only been back for his second season, and many fans find the game boring again. Some people say that the Lakers are about to become a Harlem basketball team, and every game is like an exhibition game.
The lack of competition in the game was real, and it did not prevent fans from voting for Guo Xu, who was elected the vote king of the New Orleans Star Game without any suspense, with a total of 3.3 million votes. Fans who participated in the voting will never forget him, this is the 11th star vote champion in his career.
For the third time since 2008, NBA All-Star Weekend is in New Orleans. Friendship and foe, old and new, MVP battles, dunk three-point contests and Chinese elements will be the highlights of the 2017 All-Star Weekend.
Lakers players were also in the spotlight during Star Weekend. Since Durant joined the Lakers, the revolutionary friendship boat of the "Thunder Less" has capsized. Not long ago, the Lakers visited Oklahoma, Westbrook and Durant made no secret of their contradictions, spraying trash talk on each other, and demonstrating to their opponents with their lives, presenting to the audience the posture of enemies.
Horford stood firmly on Durant's side and happily cleaned up together, making the scene even more embarrassing.
This All-Star Game trio will appear in the Western lineup at the same time, and it is likely that they will play together. Fans are wondering how the trio will resolve the awkward situation?
A pass, a high-five, a greeting? Or is it the happy cooperation of the two Lakers, putting Wei Shaoliang aside to watch the excitement? Or maybe Wei Shao played with the ball and let four teammates watch the excitement from the sidelines?
Judging by the Thunder's performance in the regular season, the third scenario is the most likely.
Four other starters in the West: Stephen Curry, James Harden, Durant, Anthony Davis.
There are many big-name stars in the West, and it can be said that there are many stars, and the Spurs' Kawhi Leonard can only come off the bench, and he does not get as many votes as Davis, which is probably directly related to his image of facial paralysis.
Western Conference bench seven: Leonard, Horford, Westbrook, Chris Middleton, Kyrie Irving, Marc Gasol, Jrue Holiday
The Clippers' Chris Paul and Blake Griffin were not All-Stars, both of whom are injured and sidelined, and the Clippers' record was surpassed by the Pelicans last week to move into fifth place.
Spurs power forward Aldridge was also not selected, and he became the Spurs' second-in-command, with a disappointing performance. He is currently averaging only 17 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, which is not at all like an All-Star.
There are also many players in the West who cannot be selected because of poor records, such as Kyle Lowry of the Rockets, Towns and Oladipo of the Timberwolves, Wiggins of the Mavericks, and so on.
The East's star lineup this year is not weak, with a starting five: Damian Lillard, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, LeBron James, Joel Embiid.
The Bucks had two starters, surpassing the Nets and the Raptors to move up to second place in the East.
The Nets are only fourth, and center Brook Lopez will be sidelined for two months with a serious knee injury in mid-January, and James alone can't stand it.
After joining the Nets, Lopez averaged 34 minutes per game and had a heavier task than he did with the Warriors. He averaged 21 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 blocks per game, but the attributes of the glass man began to appear.
Eastern Conference bench seven: Kemba Walker, Millsap, Gallinari, Jokic (76ers), John Wall, Nurkic (Wizards), Gordon Hayward (Magic).
As Guo Xu expected before the game, the 76ers have become the biggest dark horse this season, with a record that has always ranked first in the East, and has led the second-place Bucks by 4 wins, and is expected to win 60+ wins in the regular season.
Because it is a rebuilding team, the 76ers players are not very popular, and the four starters were selected together for the Eastern Conference bench. Only Walker scored 20 points on the team, but they each have their own strengths in the system, averaging more than 15 points per game.
Walker played 35.6 minutes, had 20.7 points, 4 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.3 blocks, shooting 43.6% from the field and 38.4% from three-point range, averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game. He went from being "one of the most overrated point guards" last season to the outside core of a divisional championship team.
Gallinari played 34 minutes and finished with 17.7 points, five rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 39 percent from three-point range and 90.2 percent from the free throw line.
Millsap played 34.5 minutes and finished with 17.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 48.4% from the field and 34.5% from three-point range.
Jokic was the most critical player, averaging only 28 minutes per game, with 16.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks, shooting 57.8% from the field and 32.2% from three-point range.
After the departure of Jordan Jr. and Kobe Bryant, the completely unfavored second-round rookie center has grown into the core of the interior offense, and many people predict that Jokic may become the boss of the 76ers in the future.
In stark contrast is the Knicks Big Three, which has been at the bottom. They have won more games than the 76ers last season, with 15 wins so far, and it will not be difficult to win more than 20 games in the second half.
The Knicks have more Rose and Kobe Bryant but are worse than last season, and the reason is of course from these two. Tactical role, data comparison, Ross is better in all aspects, who is the cancer?
This time, almost no one on the Internet whitewashed Kobe, and the number of Komi plummeted, leaving only a group of peak Komi. In China, the term has even become an insult.
A: "I heard you're a Komi?" ”
B: "You're the Comi!" Your whole family is a corrosion! ”
Someone on the Internet analyzed that if Kobe Bryant was not a veteran close to 39 years old, the Knicks would definitely not give him face, and it is estimated that he would be cut in the middle of the term.
Kobe Bryant tried his best to break Abdul-Jabbar's regular season scoring record, and as he grew older, he couldn't guarantee full attendance, and his scoring efficiency became less and less, and he certainly couldn't catch up this season.
Next season, he may not have a team to want......
