Chapter 719: Black and White and Fat Head

For many people, the most surprising team in the NBA West this year is the Raptors where this year's champion is located, this team has been close to half a season, still ranked in the top four in the West, or directly ranked third in the West, for many teams, although such progress cannot be said to be unprecedented, after all, just three years ago, when Zhuang Fei did not go to the Celtics, in fact, was also ranked very low, The team went from fourth to second in the league in the following season, and in that regard, the Boston Celtics were even crazier than the current Raptors.

But even so, in the history of the NBA, there are really not many teams like this year's Raptors who have undergone earth-shaking changes because of a player or a coach, so this year's Raptors are also attracting attention because of this, but unlike the Raptors, although the Portland Trail Blazers, another team in the West this year, have not changed as much as the Raptors, for this team that has been in the playoffs this year, it is difficult for them to produce the same upward explosiveness as the Raptors, though, in terms of rising horror, this team isn't as shocking as the Raptors.

But again, Portland, led by Gasol and Randolph and Jamison and Cassel, is still in the top five in the West this season, and the team is surprisingly improving by a small step a year. Of course, for most people, the Portland Trail Blazers are a team that is always moving forward. But after all, it is also in the normal range, although it is a surprise, but there is not much room for such surprises, so this team is a team that has been ignored by 1 until this team defeated the surging Lakers at home, and the current Lakers, especially the Lakers after the Christmas game. This team, which only defeated Zhuang Fei and Celtic Shenwei, has almost reached the apex of the league and the apex of this team for a while.

In this case, no one would think that this team would lose so quickly. For most supporters of this team or most fans and experts, although this team is not as undefeated as Zhuang Fei said, it is really difficult for people to imagine what kind of way they will fail, after all, this team is too difficult to beat, as long as this team is willing, they can play the hardest offensive basketball and can also play the most crushing basketball, just like the Lakers vs. Celtics did before.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that the Lakers, who were almost about to be canonized, actually lost to the Trail Blazers, the little dark horse in the West this year, in the first game after the Christmas War, which is also a big upset in the absolute sense. And in this defeat. Kobe Bryant, one of the team's leading players, scored his highest 36 points this season, but none of the other Lakers players have played properly, and in this case, the team, like many previous failures, still let people know that they still have some problems that have not been solved, or these legacy problems have cast some shadows on their future path.

Of course, shadow to shadow, this Laker is like a lot of times when they advertise themselves. When this team is really serious, their strength is still the first in the league, for example, on December 29, when the team returned to the home court to face the challenge from the Celtics, they were still able to get serious quickly, the Celtics started their Pacific journey soon after the Christmas game, and the first game of the Pacific tour was also very easy to defeat the Suns 111-90, which also made this team reappear on the road to victory, Especially in the Lakers' loss in Portland, the record of these two teams was actually stretched again, and the Celtics' 28-5 record is still the first in the league.

It's just that on December 29th, the league leader who just lost to the Lakers in the Christmas game still couldn't control the rhythm of the Lakers when he came to Los Angeles, although this game O'Neal Jr. was not as sluggish as the previous game, so that Yao Ming was as lonely as the Lakers' two interior lines, although in this game Maddy's defense in the face of Kobe Bryant has performed much better, although in this game, Kobe's initiative on the offensive end is much stronger, But in this game, when referee Bavita blew the whistle for the end of the game, as the defending champion of this year, lost to the Lakers again, and the final score was 108-103, and the Boston Celtics lost to the Lakers by 5 points, although such a point difference is very small for the two teams.

But obviously, it is a little unrealistic to rely on such a half-disabled Celtics to defeat the Lakers who are almost in the face of the Boston Celtics and Zhuang Fei, even if the Boston Celtics have done a good job so far, of course, the Boston Celtics lost in the second game of the season with the Lakers and were killed by the Lakers, but the Boston Celtics are still ranked first in the league with a 28-6 record. The Lakers, on the other hand, are still half a win behind the Celtics.

Although in this trip to the Pacific, Zhuang Fei's team lost to the Lakers again, but this is also because there is indeed a certain gap between the two teams, and it is also caused by the imperfection of the Celtics now, for the Lakers, such a Celtics is not perfect enough, but for other teams such a Celtics is not an imperfect team, on December 30, the Boston Celtics hosted the Golden State Warriors away, Ever since their boss was crushed in the second half of last season by Maddy, the languid genius Anthony Walker has lost the magic he should have been.

In the second half of last season, Anthony Walker and his performance were a little abnormal, originally last season they were completely likely to enter the playoffs as the top six or even the top five, but in the end, the team's boss Anthony Walker completely collapsed in the second half of the season, which directly made the team finally only enter the playoffs in the eighth position, and was swept by the Spurs in the first round. In particular, the Warriors' fans and management just think that their team's leading player is a little tired, so they are confident that their team's leading player will re-emerge in the new season.

After all, the former Celtics boss has brought them too many surprises in the past two seasons, so in order to better assist the All-Star player, the Warriors have successfully poached the Lakers' leading point guard Xiaoyu Fisher for him, but what makes people a little speechless is that even if he gets Xiaoyu Fisher, the Anthony Walker still has no signs of recovery in the new season, and the team boss returned to the team after the offseason The bloated figure made Warriors fans and management not know what to say for a while, And in fact, there is not much to say, because the team's standings this season are now everything, especially after being beaten by the Celtics on December 30, the team fell directly to 13th place in the West.

You know, the Boston Celtics who played back-to-back games in this game are the second lineup of Haslem, Chris Anderson and Kirilenko and James Posey and Wade, the three leading players of this team did not play a minute, in this case, the Warriors lost by 12 points at home, and this game made Kirilenko and Haslem and Birdman Anderson, the three players who did not play in the last game against the Lakers, played almost top role player data, In particular, Kirilenko played the league's first 5x5 data this season, the Boston Celtics all-round forward scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks in this game, and this game Kirilenko sent 4 steals and 3 blocks to Anthony Walker alone, it can be said that Anthony Walker's state is outrageously low.

Anthony Walker's state is very sluggish, the slump makes the Warriors very hurt, originally the team thought that they had found a lifelong object, but in the end they found that this object deceived them again, but all this is no longer important to the Celtics, thinking that the play of Arenas and others, Zhuang Fei and his Celtics ended this Pacific trip more perfectly, and also ended all the schedules in December this year relatively smoothly. In the past 35 games, the Boston Celtics have a 29-6 record, and the winning rate has reached a terrifying 80%.

And when Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics returned to Boston, all the awards in the league for December this year were all out, and the Boston Celtics' star Maddie defended the Eastern Player of the Month title, after all, in December, the Boston Celtics almost faced the Eastern team, especially the Eastern strong team maintained a very high winning rate, which is why Maddy is not as good as Carter in statistics, but finally defeated Carter, although the Celtics now look a little proud of the East, Maddie also seems to be starting to show her dominance in the east.

But in this month's MVP rankings, the Celtics' leading player suffered a counterattack from the Lakers' leader O'Neal, from the first last month to the current second, and the Lakers' other leading player Kobe Bryant was not on the list last month to the current fifth, it is obvious that some of Zhuang Fei's previous words still had an impact on public opinion, of course, another award, Wade still did not beat James in the end, and the rookie of the month was robbed by James. But even so, Celtic had a relatively successful last month. (To be continued.) )
