With the halfway point of the schedule, the strength of the league's teams has gradually appeared in people's sight, and the situation of the strong west and weak east has not been alleviated, except for the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Magic in the top three, the other teams in the East Division are still a little insufficient.

The Lakers remain the league leader, with a 39-9 record that gives Los Angeles more confidence to defend their title, and it is difficult to find a team that can compete with the Lakers in today's league.

Putting aside the Cavaliers, who have repeatedly suffered in the playoffs, the Celtics and Spurs, two teams that are considered the Lakers' best rivals, are also getting tired because of the halfway point of the schedule.

As for one of the high-profile teams in recent days, they're at best just getting on the playoff line, and no one thinks they're a competitor to the Lakers except themselves, even though they scored a memorable victory at the Staples Center the other day.

Behind the Lakers in the West are the Nuggets, the former has secured the second place in the West with a wave of outbursts in January, and the latter has also climbed steadily to third because of its enduring high efficiency, and the Spurs, who were strong at the beginning of the season, have now fallen to fifth, and the Jazz have taken the opportunity to occupy fourth.

The Trail Blazers' record has been declining due to repeated injuries within the team, and their previous highest ranking was second in the West, and now they have fallen to sixth, and the re-reimbursement of Oden the Great and Roy's non-stop injury have put the pressure on the Trail Blazers back on Aldridge's head, but as it stands, it seems. The young phenom is very adaptable to his new role.

The Suns, who were pitted by the Knicks, climbed back into the playoffs again, and after the return of the Mask Man Xiaosi, Phoenix played a wave of 11 straight wins in the shining league. Nash, who has rejuvenated from the old tree, was also named the best in the Western Conference in January for his team's outstanding record, and his outstanding performance helped the Suns successfully occupy seventh place in the West.

Eighth in the West is undoubtedly the upstart Thunder, even if they have been stumbling this season, but with their youth and talent alone, the Thunder have enough reasons to grab a good spot, and the top three drafts for three consecutive years have gradually played a subtle chemistry, compared to other veteran powerhouses that are gradually tired due to physical problems. The young Thunder are still full of energy.

The Rockets, who were in the spotlight early in the season due to trade issues, didn't have a satisfactory result, and while the All-Star stats don't represent the final result, it can tell us a little bit.

The battle for possession has kept Houston's internal system in disarray. The inaction of head coaches and management has made this situation even more apparent, and 10th in the West has been able to tell some questions, with the Rockets claiming 24 wins so far. And at the same time. They sent 24 defeats.

The bottom of the West belongs to the surprising Timberwolves, and the Kings have a better record than the Timberwolves in Love because of Evans' presence, although it is only the second-to-last, but compared to the latter's current 10-win situation, the Kings' 15 wins are obviously much better.

Back in the Eastern Conference, the Timberwolves don't need to be sad at all, because they are not the worst in the league, and such an extreme honor belongs to the people of New Jersey. Although it is only separated by a river, it is compared to the Knicks, the city's rival who has turned over this season. The Nets' performance was indeed a bit underwhelming.

No one can tell if the six-win record is unsuccessful, but no one can confirm it, and unlike other teams that are still struggling for a playoff spot, the Nets have very different goals, and how to avoid the worst record in NBA history is the problem they must face now.

The position of the big brother in the East belongs to the Cavaliers for the time being, with 37 wins, they are only two wins away from the league leader Lakers, of course, even if there are such small regrets, but this result is enough to make them laugh in the Eastern Division, anyway, not in a region, and the Lakers have no other benefits except to improve a little so-called self-confidence.

The Magic, who have won 36 games, are on their heels with the Cavaliers, and the departure of Turkoglu has not changed Orlando, as they have continued to execute their tactics around Howard, and that persistence has earned them the current second-place finish in the East.

The Hawks have just overtaken the Celtics recently, and the fledgling Green Army has begun to selectively drop some games, and the energetic Eagles clearly have no reason to do so. Of course, given the consistent situation, such a ranking doesn't have much credibility, and any basketball fan knows that the Celtics' old bunch is the real playoff boss.

Fifth place in the East belongs to the Flash and his Heat, and Wade has once again attacked the scoring title this season, but obviously, the world of young people can no longer tolerate him as an old guy, whether it is the Big Apple, which has been leading the way, or Durant, who has recently surpassed Anthony, they seem to be much better than Wade in scoring.

However, the lack of individual performance will not prevent the team from competing for the overall standings, and with consistent performance, the Heat have achieved a satisfactory result so far for Miamins.

Counting further down to the Bucks, Milwaukee regained the feeling of a strong team after getting rid of the nightmare of the Big Easy Emperor, and rookie Jennings' scoring performance was breathtaking, and the rookie's 55-point performance in a single game almost surpassed the record set by the Big Apple last season.

Considering the tragic situation of Yi Di's new club, the Bucks do have reason to rejoice, at least for now, they still have the right to visit the playoffs, even if it will be a round trip more often than not, but something is better than nothing.

The competition for the remaining two spots in the East is fierce, and although the Knicks are almost out of the tournament due to a large wave of losses earlier, New York is back with a strong performance after the return of the Big Apple. Although it is not a drama to talk about the return of the king, the 21 wins are enough to rejoin the contenders.

The Bobcats also have 21 wins, but New York is second in the Atlantic Division, while the Bobcats are in the Southeast Division. In addition to the Magic, the Heat and the Hawks are also their bosses, as you can imagine. How dismal the Bobcats' home record will be.

The Bulls occupy seventh place in the East by one win, and in the battle with the Big Apple, Rose finally has an advantage, although it is only in the team standings, but the Chicago fans are already very satisfied, if they can't kill him one-on-one, then let's fight him. The people of Windy City have never been in the camp of gentlemen.

After February, the biggest event in the league is the All-Star Weekend in Dallas on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, and voting for the starting lineup is already in full swing. Judging from the current situation, the position of the ticket king has almost properly belonged to the Big Apple in New York, and after a season of precipitation, Li Chen's popularity is even better than before.

For the fans. No stats are ever as intuitive as scoring. As the current leader of the scoring list, Li Chen has taken a lot of convenience, so far, he has received more than 2.9 million votes, nearly 600,000 ahead of the second-place James, and now that there is only one day left before the deadline, the All-Star vote king belongs to New York.

For this surprise, the whole New York is very excited, the glory of the ticket king is different from other things. This partly means that they have the most popular player in the league, considering the positioning of the city of New York. For the first time, people found that the Knicks and the Big Apple were so compatible.

The league's best of the month announced the next day was another big surprise for New York, and the Big Apple was the obvious choice for the East. In the whole of February, New York had a total of 14 games, and although the record of 9 wins and 5 losses is not experience, it is a rare record for New York.

Especially considering the lack of the Knicks' overall strength and the individual performance of Big Apple, this strengthens their determination to award the best to Li Chen. Indeed, averaging 37.6 points, 3.9 assists and 6.9 rebounds per game doesn't need anything else to prove that the Big Apple is good, and he has enough reasons to take on that honor.

The New York Times gave the Big Apple a special interview with face, and Time Magazine also vaguely revealed that they wanted Li Chen to be the cover character of the next issue, in addition, CCAV's all-star special column team also intends to give the limelight Big Apple a chance to be on camera before this, after all, listening to a so-called foreign star in Chinese to participate in an interview can always bring a little strange pride to the Chinese people.

The best in the West went to Nowitzki, and the Mavericks' ability to finish third in the West was inseparable from the excellent performance of the German tanks, averaging 28.9 points, 2.1 assists and 9.1 rebounds per game in February, which successfully helped the Mavericks win 11 games.

Because the league has lifted the position limit, this year's All-Star starting lineup is a little different, and Nowitzki in the East once again magically overtook his opponent at the last minute, of course, everyone knows what happened.

Yao Ming once again said goodbye to this year's Quan Ming due to injury, and his place was replaced by the mask man Xiao Si, for Phoenix, two of the All-Star starters belong to them at the same time, which is a very rare honor.

In addition to Nowitzki, the host, and Nash Xiaosi, the other two spots in the West belong to the Nuggets' heartthrob Melon and the Spurs' old immortal Duncan, a guard with four forwards, and there are no words to describe the characteristics of this combination except for the odd.

However, the situation in the East is similar, Howard has almost no competitors in the East, the reputation of the Wolves has always been embarrassing, although James's ticket king was robbed, but this does not prevent him from sitting in the starting position, as for Wade, the Flash's coquettish breakthrough is the best guarantee for him to squeeze into the starting lineup.

The remaining Big Apple is well deserved, with a good skin and excellent skills, a topic of conversation on and off the field, an outstanding young man with a double day off in art and sports, a language genius to a certain extent, and a brawler in a certain aspect, all these factors have created this year's All-Star Ticket King.

In terms of coaching, the baton of the West was handed over to George Karl of the Nuggets by the league, and although Phil Jackson's voice was high, after all, he had already shown his face once last year, and it was the league's practice to take turns sitting in the bank. On the eastern side, the Magic's Stan Van Gundy is in charge, and it's not a little exciting to be able to lead such a talented superteam.

The bench has not yet been revealed, it all depends on the choice of the two coaches, of course, the fans don't care about it, the protagonists they are focused on are already on the list, and that is enough.

The traditional Spring Festival in the East is approaching, the CCAV column team specially came to the alliance to take a scene, and various stars have used their broken Chinese to send blessings to the other side of the ocean, Li Chen, the hot ticket king, was arranged as the finale, and the language talent of the Big Apple is once again enviable, after all, for the big market of China, being able to speak Chinese first takes the lead.

"Happy New Year, I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Tiger!" Behind a simple blessing, Li Chen had already seen countless renminbi beckoning to him! (To be continued......)
