Chapter 708: Galactic Battleship

"Won the Player of the Month for two consecutive months, Meng Xu leads the regular season MVP rankings!"

On January 1, 2007, just on New Year's Day, the NBA announced the Eastern and Western Player of the Month for December 2006 on its official website, and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers and Meng Xu of the Pacers were selected as the Player of the Month for the previous month.

Although Meng Xu's data this season is still a little tepid, he has played 31 games in the regular season, averaging 27 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 3.7 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game, but relying on the Pacers' almost invincible record, Meng Xu was still elected the Eastern Player of the Month for two consecutive months, and led the regular season MVP list, in 15 games in November, the Pacers only lost to the Spurs on the road, and in 16 games in December, The Pacers have also lost just one game and currently sit first in the league with a 29-2 record.

This season's NBA league can be described as changing, the Pistons, which have been in the top three in the East in recent seasons, have completely disintegrated this season, because the Eastern Conference semifinals were eliminated by the Pacers in an almost humiliating way, so after only one season in charge of the Pistons, Philip Sampson was forced to step down, and after Philip Sampson stepped down, the Pistons sent away Ben Wallace and Peja Stojakovic, who were considered embarrassed by management.

As a two-time best defensive player, Ben Wallace, who has been selected to the All-NBA team and the best defense for many times, and Peja Stojakovic, an All-Star small forward in his playing year, after the contract with the Pistons ended, Ben Wallace and Peja Stojakovic asked the Pistons for a big contract, but the performance of the two of them in the series with the Pacers made the Pistons feel that they were sorry for a big contract, so the Pistons negotiated a contract extension with them while secretly peddling them, Finally, on the day they completed the contract extension with the Pistons, the Pistons sent Ben Wallace to the Bulls and Peja Stojakovic to the Hornets, after Ron Artest and Ben Wallace were traded successively, the former Pistons Five Tigers were left with Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace, and the Pistons' record this season has also plummeted, and the Pistons also played the second record in the East last season. This season they have been reduced to a mid-table team.

The Pistons seem miserable enough, but compared to the Pistons, the Heat is undoubtedly more miserable, after the failure to hit the championship last season, the disheartened Gary Payton chose to retire, and at the beginning of the new season, the Heat's pillars Shaq O'Neal and Dwyane Wade have been injured and sidelined, and the Heat, who also reached the finals of the headquarters last season, are already on the verge of competing for the lottery this season.

After the Heat and Pistons collapsed for their own and external reasons, the New Jersey Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers took the opportunity to take their place, although their record is still far from the Pacers, but before the halfway point of the game, they have begun to distance themselves from the Bulls and other teams behind them.

And in the Western Conference, this season's bloody bridges are also one after another, the most influential of which is undoubtedly the trade between the Lakers and the Timberwolves about Kevin Garnett, after missing the playoffs and the best team last season, Kevin Garnett expressed his dissatisfaction to the management of the Timberwolves, bluntly said that he would either strengthen or send himself to a team that was willing to strengthen himself, watching Tim Duncan win the O'Brien Cup three times, and Dirk Nowitzki also reached the Finals twice, Kevin Garnett, who is 31 years old but has not yet touched the floor of the Finals, is really impatient to wait, Kevin Garnett does not want to miss the championship for life like his predecessors Carl Malone and Barkley.

And the Lakers, who were reversed by the Suns in the playoffs, are also racking their brains to search around, preparing to introduce a superstar-level or superstar-level interior to form a new OK combination with Kobe Bryant, so after hearing the rumors about Kevin Garnett, the Lakers' management is like a shark that smells blood, and quickly rushes to Minnesota, but the chips that the Timberwolves want the Lakers can't afford, and the Timberwolves who the Lakers are willing to give don't want it, In addition, Kevin Garnett also had doubts about going to Los Angeles, so this tear-up, which lasted for nearly two months, finally ended with the Timberwolves rejecting the Lakers' chips and Kevin Garnett staying in Minnesota, but after such a bloody summer, Kevin Garnett's career in Minnesota has undoubtedly entered the countdown stage.

After the Devil's schedule in November and December, the Pacers ushered in a relatively relaxed January, compared to 15 games in November, 16 games in December, the Pacers only had 12 games in the entire January, and the home court reached eight, and the remaining four away games were also the Knicks, Hawks, and Celtics, so in all 12 games in January, the Pacers won all.

"Crowned Player of the Month for three months in a row!"

"27 consecutive wins, 41-2 at halfway, the Galaxy Battleship in the NBA!"

"After three seasons, is the 74-8 regular season record, which has been called the most impossible to break, going to be refreshed again?"

In the face of the Pacers' wave of 27 consecutive wins and 41-2 records, even the discerning media could not find a reason to criticize the Pacers and Meng Xu, so Meng Xu also became the first star in NBA history to win the Player of the Month for three consecutive months.

Since Real Madrid has piled up a large number of superstars in the checkbook, the title of Galaxy Battleship has come out in full swing, after Real Madrid, Galaxy Battleship seems to have become a trend, no matter what sports league, as long as those teams with explosive records and stars will be followed by the media to press the title of Galaxy Battleship, no, the Pacers are now also pressed by these media in the United States to the title of Galaxy Battleship.

And halfway through the season, after the Pacers only lost two games, many bricks and media began to speculate whether the Pacers could refresh the best regular season record again this season and achieve a better record than 74-8.
