After playing the Wizards, the Warriors defeated the Heat, Mavericks, and Nuggets, and as for the 76ers, Pistons, and Raptors, it was even more abusive.

In January, the Warriors had a 13-1 record in 14 games, the best in the league, and the only loss was the Durant-led Thunder.

The young recruits are indeed extremely brave, and their team has a bunch of goalscorers, once they go crazy, it is simply unreasonable!

In this game, Durant scored a terrifying 52 points with a dunk, Westbrook, a rookie, cut a triple-double of 22 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds, and Jordan Jr. suddenly exploded in that game, picking up 21 rebounds.

However, the defeat was not hidden, and Chamberlain averaged 35 per game. 2 points, 18 rebounds, 6. 5 blocks, voted Western Conference Player of the Month.

Echoing him is LeBron James' reign in the East, where he led the team to 15 games in January, 12-3, averaging 34 per game. 8 points, 9. 6 rebounds, 7. 2 assists, an all-around mess.

Chamberlain and James are naturally rated as the league's most proud players, and on the other hand, General Arenas is the most disappointed player.

Indeed, there is no worse than Arenas this year.

Although "Gun Gate" is not the kind of vicious incident that the report portrays, it must be admitted that the impact he has had on the alliance is very bad.

Many retired NBA stars have also come out to show their sense of guilt with this incident, Karl Malone, who was known for his taciturn back then, is now quite able to talk eloquently, he participated in a game of the Jazz, deliberately stayed on the scene after the game, and was interviewed by reporters.

Malone said it would be a huge blow to the league's image, as fans suddenly know that the players who used to play in the stadium carried guns with them, which would also have a huge impact on their own safety.

Indeed, Malone is not making it out of nowhere, and he points to the fact that the Wizards have always shied away from the fact that Arenas' inappropriate gun handling could endanger the interests of the fans, which is ultimately the NBA.

In addition, what will teammates and opponents who are in the locker room or playing on the same field with Arenas think in the future, after all, Arenas is the one who carries a gun with him, so everyone starts to worry about their own safety.

Many retired stars have responded to Malone's views, and even among the current players, there are many who have a negative attitude towards this matter.

Antoine Jamison, who has always been close to Arenas as a brother, did not choose to support the General this time, and even Ron Artest, who often stands against the league, supported Stern's punishment of Arenas this time, and he jokingly questioned whether this Wizards leader player had graduated from college, how could he do such a ridiculous thing?

The players' union, which has always spoken for players, has remained silent about the Arenas incident, and Nets player Kenyon Dulin, who is also the vice president of the players' union, said that he understands the reporter's dissatisfaction with the Arenas incident, but we are not all people who are at large with huge salaries, and the subtext of this statement is obviously to draw a line with Arenas.

Billy Hunt, the player's union leader, only said that he would only appeal if the league's penalties were too heavy, and he also admitted that Arenas's actions were completely ridiculous.

A few days after the gun-toting eruption, on January 9, Arenas got into trouble again.

At that time, before the game against the 76ers, Foye, McGee, Blecher and other four people formed a circle, with the "General" in the middle, and then pointed their fingers at their teammates one by one as if they were drawing guns, and most of the Wizards players were laughing at the time.

At this moment, the NBA was completely enraged.

Actually, this move is nothing, every team will make a celebratory gesture before the start of the game, but Arenas's posture of pulling out a gun and shooting people is really too much, and at this critical moment, his brainless behavior makes it easy to think that he is satirizing the court's sentence against him.

After the day's game, the NBA Commissioner's Office drafted a statement overnight, saying in Stern's name: "An NBA player holding a weapon in the team's locker room is causing us the most serious concern. At first, I thought we needed to be cautious in handling this matter, and that the league would not take any decision to impose penalties until the police investigation was officially concluded. With the same considerations in mind, I also instructed the wizards to take no action first. The Wizards will continue to be investigated by the judiciary and will be kept up with the situation.

While it's clear that Arenas' actions will end up with a lengthy ban and potentially worse, his actions now lead me to conclude that he is no longer fit to play in the NBA. Therefore, I am announcing an indefinite suspension of Arenas for non-payment of wages, effective immediately, until the NBA completes its final investigation. ”

Originally, Chamberlain, Kobe, James, Iverson, Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett and other superstars joined forces to write a book, and Stern, who was about to retire, did not intend to be as knowledgeable as Arenas, he wanted to retire peacefully, so he would be so light at the beginning of dealing with this matter, and now the old man sees that Arenas is treating his good temper as weakness, and he didn't say it, him!

In this way, he was punished by the NBA with an indefinite ban until the matter came to light. In addition, McGee, Blecher, Foye and others also fell ill, and Stern issued them a ticket together, in addition to the fine and suspension.

Now, no one dares to intercede with Arenas anymore.

In fact, Arenas unfortunately became the target of public criticism this time: not only the league wanted to blame him, but the players and players' unions supported the appropriate punishment of him, and even the Wizards management was willing to have him sentenced heavily.

There are two main reasons for the Wizards' sudden attack on Arenas: First, the team has historically been known for its abhorrent attitude towards gun violence, and the recently deceased owner Abbey Pauline changed the name of the team that had been called for 30 years "Bullets" to "Wizards" in the mid-90s in protest against the continuous shooting incidents in Washington, D.C., where the team was located, and the assassination of his friend Israeli Prime Minister Rabin.

Now that the owner has just passed away, Arenas has created such a catastrophe, and the team's attitude can be imagined.

Another point is that the contract of more than 100 million signed by Arenas and the Wizards a few years ago now seems to be a high salary and low ability, especially since a series of injuries have greatly reduced Arenas's strength, and the Wizards are trying to find a way to get rid of this contract.

There is a little-known "ethics clause" in the NBA's collective bargaining rules, which gives teams the right to terminate a player's contract if he behaves unethically or unsportsmanlike.

Obviously, the Wizards want to use this clause to terminate the huge contract with Arenas, which not only relieves the financial pressure on the team to pay the luxury tax for many years, but also gives the team a huge salary space in one fell swoop. The Wizards will also have a chance to get a slice of the free agent supermarket in the coming summer.

With such a small abacus, the Wizards have been doing their best to help the prosecutor's office and the NBA official provide evidence enough to destroy Arenas since the beginning of the "gun gate", and the relevant evidence was voluntarily handed in, and from time to time publicly stated that the team wanted to terminate the contract, which made Arenas, who was dedicated to the Wizards and even took the initiative to cut his salary before, very disappointed in the team.

In particular, the team owner's public statement has made it clear that Arenas has done something disappointing, and as the Washington Post recently reported, the relationship may have broken off completely.

There is also the issue that Cory Tanton, another of the "gunmen" parties, has not been punished so far, and the prosecutor's office does not seem to have included him in the list of defendants.

In this way, the whole incident presents a very comical scene, and from the result it looks like a one-act play of Arenas, where a man suddenly pulls out a few guns, and then shouts at himself for a long time, and the last person accepts the punishment.

Even the imitation of shooting and provocative performance before the game is actually not a big deal, but just like the same defensive action, Yao Ming is a foul, the same protest to the referee, Rasheed Wallace must be a technical foul, this time the same pre-game performance, Arenas caused Stern to issue an indefinite ban.

Basically, it's okay to say that Arenas is finished.

Arenas's frustration was also reflected in the All-Star Game.

In the early morning of January 22, the official NBA website announced the starting lineup of the East and West for the 2010 Dallas All-Star Game. Chamberlain is undoubtedly the All-Star vote leader this year, while Bryant is second in the West.

While becoming the king of this year's All-Star votes, Chamberlain once again broke his own votes, with more than 4 million votes this year, which is the record of an NBA All-Star so far!

The previous record was also held by him, and in last year's All-Star Game, his votes were more than 3 million, but this year he stubbornly raised more than 1 million votes.

This time, no one dares to say that Chamberlain is an All-Star who relies on Chinese to enter, perhaps, there are still a lot of Chinese in this year's vote, but in the minds of American fans, he is still the league's well-deserved number one star.

This year's All-Star starting lineup in the West is: Oden, Chamberlain, Duncan, Kobe Bryant and Iverson.

Xiao Si is really sad now, he originally came to see Yao Ming injured, and he definitely couldn't play an All-Star this season, so he opportunistically slipped and reported himself to the position of center. Helplessly, Oden is also a center, in addition, fans across the United States have great hopes for Oden, hoping that he can carry Chamberlain and show the power of the American center, and they voted for him.

In this way, Xiao Si once again missed the All-Star starter.

The Eastern Stars are Howard + Garnett + Yi Jianlian + James + Wade.

Yi Jianlian also played well this season, and he lived up to his status as a lottery pick, averaging 17 points and 8 points per game. 5 assists, 8. The all-around watch with 5 rebounds won unanimous praise from domestic fans, but he continued to be selected as an All-Star starter, and other fans except for the Chinese were very reluctant.

But what if you don't want to? The votes of the Chinese are also votes, not to mention that with last year's All-Star incident as a buffer, there are not many people who really resist Yi Jianlian's All-Star.

The arms can't reach the thighs, for the NBA stars, they used to bully international stars, and now they have finally reversed.

Originally, Arenas had a chance to be an All-Star, and he was very successful after his comeback this season, scoring high points in a row. It's a pity that the gun door is now completely ruined for him.

What hasn't been released yet is the All-Star bench, and the league's head coaches are starting to vote for them.

Iverson has already said that he doesn't plan to play this year's All-Star, but he was selected by the fans, and many fans left messages on his website and the NBA's website, saying that Iverson accompanied them through their youth, and his All-Star They watched one less session, hoping that he could stick to it.

What Iverson means is that he wants to promote West, and his position is actually to suppress West, otherwise as Curry matures, West can already become the starting point guard, and it is also appropriate to let Curry be the sixth man.

But the All-Star certainly doesn't allow players to quit without permission, because it's about the league's box office and image, and Stern made a special call to Iverson and asked him to be sure to participate in this year's All-Star.

The Warriors also support Iverson's participation because it is likely that this will be Iverson's last All-Star.
