Chapter 988: Those Players

On February 16, 2011, there were three games in the NBA that day, and after the day's games, the players could enjoy a little vacation because All-Star Weekend was coming.

One was the Spurs vs. the Bulls, and as a result, Rose scored a career-high 42 points, plus eight assists and five rebounds, leading the Bulls to a 109-99 victory over the Spurs, and the Bulls won four in a row, ending the Spurs' two-game winning streak.

For the Spurs, Parker had 26 points, Ginobili 16, Duncan 14 points and nine rebounds, Jefferson 12 points and Neal 16. For the Bulls, Rose was a big spotter, in addition to Deng 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Boozer 15 points and 6 rebounds.

The Spurs are the most surprising team in the league this season, and they have become one of the strongest teams in the league this season with no major roster changes.

Popovich continued the Spurs' glorious tradition of training new players, and Neil's emergence and the growth of newcomers like Hill gave the Spurs great support, and the Spurs' cultivation and activation of new talents can almost be used as a reference for the league.

And Popovich's use of Duncan has also benefited the Spurs a lot, this season, Shi Fo's number jรน has dropped to a career low, but he has been best protected, both physically and physically, just take today's game, from the book can only see Duncan has 14 points and 9 rebounds, it seems that the table is sluggish, but those who watched the game know that Duncan only played 24 minutes today.

More surprising than the Spurs, the Bulls surpassed the Heat to become second in the East last month after losing Noah, and although they still finished third in the East, the Bulls' table was enough to satisfy fans.

The Bulls have significantly improved their combat power after gaining the Jazz's main players Boozer, Brewer and Korver, their style of play is still full of impact, but they are more calm in key moments, and Korver's play on the outside makes the Bulls have a lethal threat.

In this win over the Spurs, the Bulls stabilized the situation with Korver's final three-pointer.

The other game is the Western Conference Civil War, where the Trail Blazers take on the Hornets.

So far, the Trail Blazers are eighth in the West, which is not a good result, but if you look at their books, it is a miracle that the Trail Blazers have come this season.

At the beginning of the season, outside big man Fernandez was reimbursed, and it was only the first round of blows to the Trail Blazers, and then Pulzbila also began to be injured, and the worst news is that Roy's career was almost ruined, causing huge problems for the Trail Blazers.

It is in such a state of mourning that Portlanders are more resilient under Aldridge's leadership, and when injuries envelop the Trail Blazers, they do not give up to keep the Trail Blazers in the top eight in the West, which can be regarded as an inspirational blockbuster.

As opponents of the Trail Blazers, the New Orleans Hornets are now in a much more awkward position.

At the start of the season, the Hornets shook the league with a perfect start to eight straight wins, and this team that was not favored by the people showed excellent form after the start.

But then, the Hornets hit a slump. The slump wasn't just in terms of record, but even more embarrassingly, the Hornets were left unclaimed โ€” they didn't have an owner.

As a result, the Hornets were forced to be hosted by the league, which was the first time in NBA history that something so embarrassing had happened, as the Hornets' record had declined and the audience attendance was extremely low.

The reason for the league hosting is because the attendance rate of the Hornets' home court is not up to the NBA's minimum passing line, the team has been completely overdrawn due to consecutive years of losses, and the team is currently in debt as high as 1. $1.1 billion, $8.9 million in interest for a year.

In fact, before giving up the team, Hornets big owner Sheehan had been trying to sell 65% of the team's shares to minority shareholder Horst, but Horst had no intention of taking over the team. Eventually, the Hornets became an unclaimed "orphan team" until they were taken over by the league.

The rest of the game was more dramatic, with the saddest Cavaliers against the Knicks, who were in desperate need of a revival.

After James left, the Cavaliers owner gave James the most vicious curse, "I can sue you for his shameful behavior and selfish betrayal, which has burned our fighting spirit to a level we have never reached." He seemed to feel that he didn't need to die to go to heaven. Sorry, this can't be. His shocking infidelity has shown us the true face of this proud son, and our children should also learn from it, he should no longer be their idol, and they must not be like this when they grow up. โ€

Dan Gilbert's most amazing move was the promise to the Cavaliers, "Our tomorrow will be even better...... I assure you that our fighting spirit, confidence, experience and dedication will allow us to achieve our ultimate goal: to bring you a championship trophy that you have been waiting for for so long. โ€

However, after the half-time, the Cavaliers were almost the worst and most miserable team in the league, except for a few games at the start of the season, and since late November, they have been on a losing streak and can't stop.

The New York Knicks are having a much better time than the Cavaliers, and judging from the first half of the season, New York will return to the playoffs, which is the consensus of everyone, and the transfer of Stoudemire and Felton's play have finally given New York a chance to breathe a bad breath.

As the mecca of basketball in the world, New York City's decade-long depravity of basketball has to be heartbreaking. The place that has the most heroes on screen and rescue stories has fallen in reality, and no one has come to save New York basketball.

Last summer, although the team did not get the James they dreamed of, they got Stoudemire, and this half season, Xiao Si played like a fish in water under D'Antoni, leading the Knicks to the fourth place in the East for a time, which made New York fans dance with excitement.

In the final result, the Knicks slaughtered the Cavaliers 98-75. The unlucky knights really don't have anything to do now, the head coach replaced himself at the end of last season, and of course the core also ran, not only ran away, but also packed and took away several veterans such as Ilgoskas.

Now the Cavaliers, like a bankrupt developer, used to be infinitely beautiful, driving a big run and wearing leather shoes to hug Xiaomi, but now the property market is turbulent and bankrupt, and Xiaomi is still running away with the only bit of private goods.

After the first half of the game, the All-Stars began, and this time the All-Stars belonged to the Warriors, as they will host this year's All-Star Game at home.

Compared to the previous All-Star Game, to the regret of Warriors fans, this time only two people from their team were selected as All-Stars, Chamberlain is naturally the ticket king, and the other is West, who came off the bench to enter the All-Star team.

This season's NBA has entered an era of star blowouts, especially on the outside, and there are many talents like carp crossing the river.

There are only two or three good birds on the inside, not to mention Chamberlain, who is the scoring champion, rebounding champion and block champion, and the other two centers, Howard and Oden, can also take a look.

Howard is averaging 21 per game this season. 9 points, 13. 1 rebound, 2. With two blocks, he led the Magic to a 27-14 record so far, ranking fifth in the East, which is a bit embarrassing.

In the past, when it came to Howard, the fans' reaction was that the body was a vigorous Superman, and at that time, compared with the center, Howard was compared with Chamberlain on the same level.

As a result, Chamberlain is now in a league of his own, scoring more than ten points more than Howard, and the rebounds and blocks have opened up a huge gap.

Occasionally, Howard always feels frustrated when he thinks about what happened to the two, and what makes him even more frustrated is that now he is almost unstable in the second echelon of centers.

Not to mention Oden, who is getting more and more fierce these days, let's talk about Loew and Griffin, both of whom are a threat to Howard.

Griffin can fly and dunk, impacting Howard's superman status in terms of playing style, and Loew is happy to count jรน this season, surpassing Howard in counting.

As the saying goes, there is no motivation without pressure, and there is a saying that great opponents make great lives. In front of so many opponents, Howard has grown more in half a season than in the past three seasons.

In the past half season, he has gradually developed more offensive methods, and he has become more stable when shooting free throws, and now at least he is the No. 1 center in the East, and no one can question it.

Inside talents can be counted in two slaps, and the outside line is the main thing.

At the forward position, Kevin Durant and James have become the brightest twin stars.

Durant is now averaging 30 points per game. 2 points, 6. 2 rebounds, 2. 9 assists and 1. With one steal, he was second only to Chamberlain in the scoring charts, even after returning from the World Championships, his three-point shooting percentage was high and low.

Under Durant's leadership, the Thunder are becoming more mature and their style of play is becoming more and more balanced. And even if he is immature, it doesn't matter, Durant still has the ability to turn the tide at critical moments.

James is now averaging 27 per game. 6 points, 7. 1 rebound, 7. 2 assists and 1. With 5 steals, the Heat are second in the East with a 30-11 record.

A move to Miami was a stressful time for James, but with the Heat finally on track, his life has been much better. But one thing is true, he said something in the new season - neither I nor Wade can win the MVP.

Neither of them finished in the top five of the MVP list after the halfway point, and many pundits believe that he and Wade may be the best outside team in league history, but as long as the two are together, neither of them can lift the MVP trophy.

This season, Rose's rise among defenders has been unexpected, and he is averaging 24 per game. 7 points, 4. 7 rebounds, 8. The score of 0 assists led the Bulls to 28-13 in the halfway and ranked third in the East!

Rose's progress this season has been remarkable, as he's only been in the league for three years but is already one of the MVP favorites.

Another star who must be mentioned is Anthony.

The NBA is a business that needs hype, and for teams, the best hype is trades.

The NBA has some key people in trade scandals every season, in 2007 it was Kobe Bryant, and then many teams began to make a fuss about bringing in James, and now Anthony, another protagonist of the golden generation in 2003, also made the Nuggets restless with a transfer.

The trade rumors reached their peak in mid-January 2011, when Yahoo Sports revealed that the Nets, Nuggets and Pistons would complete the largest trade in history involving 13 players. At the same time, the Nuggets began to stumble, losing various games and being weakened by Yan Zhan Ng.

The result? The Nuggets' record fell again and again, and Anthony prayed for a trade more and more, but the trade just didn't come.

Anthony and Paul are now looking at each other across the Denver Plateau, and if they could, they would really like to turn into butterflies and fly in pairs......
