331. Mars shines everywhere

Rookie of the Month was released, and the Eastern Conference spot was finally captured by Okafor, and the former Rookie of the Season quickly showed his strength after getting acquainted with the NBA. Carter is said to have had a night chat with Okafor, who then positioned himself as an interior defender, and it was very effective.

Okafor is averaging 10.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game this month, and with his help, the Raptors have won 9-5 in 14 games and have won the last four consecutive wins, Carter + Bosh + Okafor, this inside and outside combination, has shown its power.

The West Rookie of the Month of the Year was Devon. Harris -- Mostly no one in the West, and fierce competition in the East: Okafor, Howard, Iguodala, Ben. Gordon, these four talents are the main thing.

The Eastern Conference Coach of the Month award went to Jordan, who has won most of the awards a player can get: Rookie of the Year, MVP, FMVP, All-Star Game MVP, Slam Dunk Contest Champion Now he's making the cut for coaching and looks like he's likely to win this year's Coach of the Year.

The coach of the month in the West is D'Antoni, who led the Suns to play a colorful run and bomb, with a gorgeous style of play and strong combat effectiveness, he is really invincible in the West!

November's awards ceremony came to an end, and the NBA ushered in its second full month of competition, which began in December.

The Bobcats vs. Pacers game begins at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 1 and is broadcast live to the nation by TNT. When TNT bought the broadcast rights of this game before the game, it was only considering the contest between Huaben and O'Neal Jr. and Artest, the Pistons led by Huaben and the Pacers fought seven games last season, and it was he who ruined the team's championship dream with his own hands.

Who knows, until now, TNT has found that he has made a lot of money, and no one expected that the new army Bobcats would be able to win 14 games in a row to become the boss of the East, and it was the Pacers who were pressed by him, that is, this game is still a battle for the boss of the East.

The Pacers were 13-1 and lost the only game they lost to the Nash-led Suns. No one could restrain Nash in that game, but in fact, no one has been able to restrain Nash since the start of the game.

In this game, if the Pacers win, there is no doubt that they will be the East bosses; If the Bobcats win, the Pacers would tie the Pistons for second place in the East: the Pistons lost two games and are in third place for the time being.

Neither the Bobcats nor the Pacers want to lose this game, one doesn't want to give up the honor of first place in the East, and the other is crazy to get revenge and end the Bobcats' winning streak to break their undefeated myth.

The Pacers were held out of the Finals last season by Warburn's unbridled inside attack, and after the game, the team learned the hard way and realized they needed a consistent third scorer and a hard-nosed individual defender. So Harrington, a small forward who can be inside and out, was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Stephen, who has championship experience. Jackson.

Jackson wanted to be a great performer in the Spurs' championship victory, and he was a consistent scorer for the Hawks last season. Moreover, he has a tougher style of play than Harrington, and with Artest, he is most effective in defending against a thriving hitter like Waben.

The team's focus is still on O'Neal Jr. and Artest, who are now considered the best duo in the entire NBA league when O'Neal and Kobe Bryant separated, and Maddie and Yao Ming are well-known in China, but in the United States, they are not considered by many teams.

O'Neal Jr. plus Artest, and then pick three players from the Indiana Pacers' bench lineup, such a lineup is enough to lead the Pacers to the playoffs. But the Pacers certainly can't, and they're using the best blue-collar workers in the playmaking guard and center positions — Tinsley and Johnson will team up as point guards, while Foster and Pollard will play at center.

Before the game even started, the Consec arena was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and before the game, every player of the Pacers let out a message to kill the Bobcats.

Artest swore to reporters: "If you ask me which team I hate the most, I don't want to say, but if you ask me the person I hate the most, it must be Ben. Wallace! That guy always billed himself as a tough guy, but today I'm going to prove with my fists and muscles that he's nothing more than a clown! ”

Although Jackson had just arrived at the Pacers, he immediately became close friends with Artest, both of whom were short-tempered and temperamental, and they could be regarded as stinking together.

After Artest, he also said: "Yes, we've changed a lot, there's chemistry between the players, and today we're going to tell those rookies what defense is. Root. Wallace? It's just a data brush, and he'll be in his true form after this game! Also, those rookies, hopefully we won't freak them out today, these guys probably don't know what's going on in the NBA yet. ”

O'Neal Jr. was more cautious and more objective in expressing his attitude: "The Bobcats have played well so far, they have won in a row. However, apart from the early stage, they didn't meet any strong teams, we are different, we are second in the East. And, as we've all seen, their stamina and drive have dropped a lot lately, and it's been very difficult to win the first two games. Besides, my injuries were a big reason for losing to the Pistons last season, but now I'm fit, so this game is dead. ”

Barkley's comments echoed the sentiments of many veteran fans: "The Bobcats didn't lose a game in their first month, which is a great achievement, congratulations to this rookie team, they hit back the doubters fiercely. However, apart from Ben and Patin, I really don't see any bright spots in this team, maybe Michael is better on the pitch than everyone else in his jersey!

The reason why they played so well in the first month was not only because of Big Ben's excellent performance, but also because of the rookies' attitude of doing their best. It's just the regular season, there are 82 games in total, and you have to understand which game to put in a lot of effort and which game to face easily, and the rookies don't understand that. So, you see, from the first two games, their attacks started to have problems, and I bet the further back on, the more their problems in this area will be exposed! ”

For all the provocations and doubts, Huaben's response was only one sentence: "We'll see." ”

In the Martian atmosphere, the Bobcats players entered the court at the Consec Center. Everyone came out and endured huge boos and all kinds of abuse, and when Huaben appeared, the boos were like rumbling cannons, and many fans threw things at him.

Instead, a smile appeared on his face, and after high-fiveing each of his teammates, he said to Iguodala and the others, "You follow me, Pattin, and Memet, otherwise these fans wouldn't have welcomed you like this." ”

Patin laughed, "Last season, we really offended a lot of people. ”

"We will offend more people in the future, because we will dominate the O'Brien Cup!" Hua Ben said proudly, "Are you afraid?!" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Patin yelled with the crowd.

Artest and O'Neal Jr. walked over, and the two of them lazily looked at the Bobcats players, and said to Warben, "You're going to be miserable today, Ben, are you ready?" Now you don't have the help of the villains like Rashid and Chauncey, and I hope you'll be as tough as you used to be. ”

Hua Ben smiled contemptuously, "As you wish, you will see." ”

Artest yelled at the others in a rough voice: "Little bird, prepare more tissues later, don't have nothing to wipe your tears when you cry!" Today you will understand what the real NBA is! ”

Iguodala sneered without showing weakness: "The real NBA is Bibi yes's loud voice? If so, then we haven't seen it yet. ”

Patin and the others laughed cooperatively, and Artest stared at Iguodala viciously, stretched out his thick finger and pointed at him, "What do you call Andera?" I remember you, I'll break your bones later. ”

Iguodala slapped Artest's finger and scolded, "Don't finger paint for me"

Artest had never seen such an arrogant rookie, and he suddenly became angry, clenched his fists and rushed towards Iguodala. Huaben pulled Iguodala behind him, and O'Neill Jr. also grabbed Artest at the right time, and said, "Ron, don't be impulsive, teach them a lesson during the game, ok?" Get back! ”

The game hasn't been fought yet, and the fight almost started. Hua Ben had a hunch that something big might happen in this game.

The starting line-ups for both sides appeared on the big screen above the pitch:

The starting lineup of the Pacers is that the center is Jeff, who is 2.11 meters tall. Foster, the big forward is O'Neal Jr., the small forward is Jackson, and the playmaking guard is 1.91 meters Jamal. Tinsley.

The Bobcats' starting lineup is almost fixed, with center Oku, power forward Huaben, small forward Steven Gerrard, playmaking guard Patin, and shooting guard Iguodala.

Oku and O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball, and Hua Ben thought about it, pulled Oku behind him, and decided to come on his own. The Pacers' morale is very high right now, and he has to get the lead from the start, and Oku's jump ball is clearly no match for O'Neal Jr.

Although Hua Ben's height is not good, the bounce speed and bounce are all first-class in the NBA, and the jump ball generally does not miss. Little O'Neill's speed and bounce are not as fast as Huaben's, but his height and arm span are slightly better, and it's hard to say who will kill the deer.

The referee threw the ball up, O'Neal Jr. squatted down and jumped, Warben omitted this process, jumped up directly, grabbed the opportunity, and touched the ball with his finger to Patin.

Patin was able to cope with Tinsley's defence with ease, and he looked at Wabben tentatively and asked if he was going to do it himself.

Artest stuck to Waben's side after landing on the jump ball, and his strong body squeezed Waben, making him uncomfortable with the ball.

The team is really not in good shape right now, and the first ball Hua Ben decided to come by himself to boost morale.

In this way, he made two back-to-back runs in a row, shaking off Artest to reach the ball, but as soon as he stopped, Jackson rushed in front of him again, and the same tight defense pressed him.

Wajben grabbed the ball with one hand behind him, and he looked inside, where O'Neill Jr. was waiting for him in the penalty area, while Artest was a step away from him, ready to wrap up.

From the very beginning of the game, the Pacers gave up defending the others and focused on dealing with Huaben. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to leave empty places for other players.
