Oden's dunk boosted the morale of the Nets and suppressed the momentum of the Lakers' counterattack.

At the end of the third quarter, the Nets extended the margin to 20 points, and the Lakers continued to widen the margin in the first half of the final quarter, and the game was decided.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Lakers 108-91 on the road.

Jokic had 14 points, 15 rebounds and five assists, Yi Jianlian had 20 points and five boards, Deron had 17 points, and Butler and Gordon both scored 11.

Oden played his best game of the season, playing a season-high 20 minutes and finishing with a season-high 12 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.

For a player like him on the edge of the bench, it's already a blessing to be on the activation list, and it's important for him to be able to take the opportunity to put on a performance like that.

Of course, against the Lakers, who have become an underdog, and most of the time against rookie Nance Jr., such a game is far from enough, Oden's play has led him to a chance to enter the rotation, whether he can seize it depends on his follow-up play.

It's Christmas, the results of the first round of voting in the season's All-Star poll.

In the first round of voting, Bryant received a full 720,000 votes, far ahead of the others.

Curry (510,000) and James (350,000) were the second and third of the total votes.

Durant, Wade, Griffin, George, Westbrook and others also had the highest number of votes, which was similar to what fans expected.

However, in the results of the first round, the number of votes for two people was staggering.

One is James Harden.

After Harden was traded to the Rockets, the defense was still sparse, and it broke the news of dating with Odom's wife celebrity Kardashian in the offseason, I don't know if he was hollowed out off the court, his defense on the court was more unbearable than the Thunder period, although the average of 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game is gorgeous, but the average turnovers per game are as many as 4.6, and the shooting rate has also reached a career low of 43%.

His performance has also made the Rockets far less than expected, and the Rockets with him and Howard were one of the favorites to win the championship, but their record so far is only 19-18, and whether they can make the playoffs is questionable.

Because of this, Harden ranked fifth among Western Conference guards in the first round of voting, behind Curry, Westbrook, Paul and Thompson, which is also extremely inconsistent with his status as a double MVP.

The other is Yi Jianlian.

The NBA no longer counts the vote in the Asia-Pacific region as the final result, but fans who really want to vote still have a way, not to mention the large number of Chinese in the United States, even there are many circumvention tools.

In the end, Yi Jianlian got 160,000 votes, and after James and George, he beat Anthony and Bosh and ranked third among the forwards!

Yi Jianlian and Tang Tian were almost selected as All-Stars in their two seasons with the Cavaliers, and now they are to the Nets, and with the rise of the Nets, he is also back in the All-Star vote.

And so far this season, he has averaged 17.3 points, 8.3 rebounds per game, and 39% three-point shooting, which has also reached a career peak.

The results of the first round of All-Star voting were just a small episode of the season.

After Christmas, the Nets' inspection of the rotation roster continues.

The Nets' first game after Christmas was against the Heat.

The Heat signed Dragic on the free agency market in the summer and retained Wade, plus the original Bosh, Whiteside, and Ruel Deng, the roster is quite luxurious.

They are currently in fourth place in the East behind the Cavaliers, Nets, and Raptors, and are one of the Nets' main contenders in the East.

After the start of the game, the two sides fought extremely fiercely.

A head-to-head confrontation between competitors, where both sides leave no stone unturned.

The two sides played more than 9 minutes in the first quarter, and the score was tied at 21.

When entering the rotation, Tang Tian also replaced Oden as Jokic's first bench, which was also the first time that Oden got the opportunity to play in the first quarter this season.

He was followed by Amare Stoudemire.

After leaving the Knicks, Jr. spent a season with the Mavericks, and this season returned to the East to join the Heat.

Stoudemire came up to play Oden, wanting to use his experience advantage to eat, but Oden was exceptionally calm, and he forced Xiao Si to pass the ball to the outside line.

Winslow's strong basket was also blocked by Oden outside the box, and he barely shot and finally jumped out of the basket.

After the excitement of the previous game, Oden is starting to play calmly.

Tang Tian and Frank also nodded frequently from the sidelines.

There is no block, but the defensive end is full of intimidation, and this Oden is the Oden they are most looking forward to at this stage.

On the offensive end, Oden made a single shot against Stoudemire, but pressed the direct dunk to make a foul.

A goal that combines technology and violence is simply a copy of the peak of the little overlord on the opposite side.

Such a performance also completely won Tang Tian's trust.

It's difficult to get him to play against a top center, but with that kind of consistent play, he plays Jokic off the bench much better than Plalim.

In other words, with the last game against the Lakers, and the performance of this segment, Oden has earned himself a spot in the rotation.

Spoelstra saw that the momentum was not right, and replaced Bosh early and let him swing to play the number five position.

Bosh's confrontation is not stronger than Oden's, but the card card is very good, Oden's offensive end is powerful, and Bosh's excellent arm span makes his basket skills unable to play, and on the defensive end, he was pulled outside the three-point line by Bosh to lose his interior deterrent.

If you can't attack, it's useless to defend, just follow and run back and forth on the field.

Tang Tian followed up and replaced Oden with Jokic.

That's the dilemma of the traditional center, where Oden is still a bit far from the word dominance, and when he can't play Bosh on the offensive end, he becomes a burden on the court.

However, Oden's strength is already far behind Bosh, and this performance is enough.

In the end, the Nets won 112-106 on the road against the Heat, ushering in a wave of consecutive wins.

Yi Jianlian scored a team-high 26 points and 10 rebounds, and did not fall behind in the confrontation with Bosh.

This performance is also like a response to the All-Star vote, and the votes he received in the past were due to the support of the Chinese people, but this time his votes were real.

Booker has performed well off the bench, Oden has found his place in the rotation, and after more than half a season, the Nets have finally found the best rotation for them.

Starters: DeLong, Gordon, Butler, Yi Jianlian, Jokic.

Subs: Booker, West, Livingston, Oden, (Maddy).

It's still a rotation of 9~10 people, but the effect on the field has improved considerably compared to the beginning of the season.
