。

The Grizzlies won the Christmas War.

Kobe Bryant's face flashed with a moment of unwillingness and annoyance, but then he still stepped forward and hugged Li Lei: "You won me again, and I must win it back next time." ”

Li Lei hugged Kobe Bryant: "Then I'm sorry, I won't give you this opportunity." ”

When it was Garnett's turn, the tall and thin man wrapped his long neck in a towel and looked at Li Lei condescendingly: "See you next time!" ”

He didn't pretentiously shake hands with Li Lei, or hug them.

Rather, it is a direct declaration of war.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Li Lei naturally will not show weakness.

This season, the Grizzlies have won two consecutive victories over the Lakers.

However, there is a difference between these two times.

In the first meeting, Li Lei just felt that the Lakers were strong.

And this time, in the process of playing against the Lakers, Li Lei felt suffocated.

It's also normal, and the Lakers are still strengthening with the body this season.

Traded veteran Fisher from the Jazz to add the No. 1 spot. Trade to Ariza to strengthen the No. 3 position......

The Lakers are getting stronger in every position.

What's more, as the season progresses, Lakers players will get better and better together, creating better and better chemistry.

And the most important thing is the attitude of Garnett and Kobe.

Both superstars are in the hunt for the championship.

Although there are some differences in details.

Garnett is trying to win the championship.

Bryant wanted to prove that he could lead the Lakers to a championship even without O'Neal.

But the two have a common goal.

So they can find common ground while reserving differences, overcome all odds, just to defeat every opponent who stands in their way to winning the championship.

……

In this game, Li Lei scored a game-high 45 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

Bryant had 33 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Garnett rebounded, 5 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks.

All three superstars have shown their strength.

On the Grizzlies' side, Gasol did not play well, shooting 2 of 9 from the field, and only scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

Every time he faced Garnett, Gasol played badly and was nicknamed "sister-in-law" by Chinese fans.

Lowry's performance was also average, with 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and even 6 turnovers on 2-of-8 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers.

However, the veteran Hill performed well and gave Li Lei enough help, with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

In short, the old man Jerry West signed Hill's contract with the veteran's base salary in the summer, which is really cost-effective.

It's an old man!

The eyes are so poisonous!

At the post-game press conference, both the Grizzlies and the Lakers were touting Li Lei.

Rick Carlisle: "You know, I'm probably the most relaxed head coach in the league, and I call fewer timeouts every game because Stone can solve most of the problems. ”

Hill: "Stone can do it all, three-pointers, mid-range shots, breakaways, dunks, back-to-back singles, passing...... It was as if I saw my old self. No! Stone is stronger than me, he's Jordan at 205cm. There was simply no one on the pitch to stop him. ”

Guy: "Whenever the team is behind, I get a little bit of a panic. But as soon as the boss gets the ball, I'm relaxed. You know, he's always got some incredible goals and scored late games. He's the worst killer in the NBA! ”

……

At the press conference on the Lakers' side, everyone was also full of praise for Li Lei.

Kobe: "Oh, I lost to him again, I'm unwilling!" But Stone has the quality and the quality to beat me, he's the best of the new generation, and he's the best in the entire NBA right now. ”

Garnett: "......"

Garnett was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "All I can say is that 100 percent hard work can't beat Stone. The next time I play him, I'm going to give 120 percent. Certainly...... Defeat him! ”

Phil Jackson: "I've coached countless great players: Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant...... I can guarantee that Stone will be a great member as well. ”

……

Shortly after the Christmas game, the Grizzlies took on the Suns.

The Suns, who have Nash, O'Neal, and Stoudemire, have been attracting a lot of attention.

So far, though, the Suns haven't had enough chemistry.

When O'Neal and Nash are on the floor at the same time, the rest of the Suns are overwhelmed.

Playing a little faster, the aging O'Neill can't keep up.

Playing a little slower, the Suns will have to abandon the shelling style of play they have long been accustomed to, and the others will be at a loss.

So the Suns' record has not been up or down, and they can't play chemistry.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Suns.

At this point, the Grizzlies have played against all the strong teams this season.

76ers, Magic, Pistons, Celtics in the East......

Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, Suns, Jazz in the West.

Almost all of them were beaten once.

And the Grizzlies have won the vast majority of victories and have always maintained their position as leaders.

However, this record was only maintained until the end of 2007.

After the Chinese New Year, the Grizzlies lost more and more games, and their record slowly fell.

One is the problem with the Grizzlies themselves.

Fatigue, there are too many strong teams this season, and playing against strong teams in a row is too physically and mentally exhausting.

Injuries, Gasol, Hill, Jones Sr., and Tyronn Lue are inevitably injured...... Luckily, it's all minor injuries, just a few weeks off, and no major injuries that will be reimbursed for the season.

Second, the opponent is getting stronger.

This summer, many teams have undergone huge changes and adjustments, such as the Lakers, Celtics, Magic, Suns......

They put together a new lineup.

At the beginning of the season, they were relatively new to each other, and there was no tacit understanding between the players.

And as the season progresses, the players between these teams play more and more tacitly.

For example, Garnett is completely integrated into the Lakers, and he conscientiously assists Kobe Bryant and does the dirty work.

And then there's Lewis.

Lewis is a big shooter who plays the No. 4 position for the Magic.

He wasn't a superstar per se, but his presence completely activated Howard's power.

Howard is getting better and better, and his stats and performance have improved tremendously.

……

As of February 14, 2008, the league has released a new edition of the record list.

This side of the west.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a negative record and are in first place in the West.

The Lakers can get to the top of the West, and that's a matter of course.

Any team has the No. 1 scoring guard, the No. 2 forward, and the most legendary head coach in the game...... Isn't it normal?

Of course, there are also many fans who have expressed their dissatisfaction.

Feel that the presence of the Lakers has upset the balance of the league.

The combination of Kobe and Garnett has left the rest of the league hopeless.

On some lists, the Lakers have become one of the most hated teams this season.

……

Then there's the New Orleans Hornets, who have a negative record and are second in the West.

This record shocked everyone.

Hornets ...... Who the is that?

Who are their players?

No one paid attention to this team at all, and no fans thought this team could play, but they managed to climb to second place in the brutal West.

The core player is, of course, Yi Jianlian...... It's weird.

Yi Jianlian, a sophomore, averaged 12.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks per game, although the data is not bad, but it is definitely not enough to become the face of a team.

The face of the Hornets is, of course, Chris Paul.

Paul, a third-year player, averaged 21.1 points, 4 rebounds, 11.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game.

Just looking at the stats, Paul is already a superstar.

He and Delon are also considered two of the best point guards of the younger generation.

In addition to this, the Hornets also have Peja, Chandler, Peterson......

If you take a closer look, the players of the Hornets are really not bad, but they are not very famous, but they are also really powerful.

Peja was once the boss of the Kings and was a top big man shooter on the MVP charts.

Chandler is a defensive center with explosive physicality.

Yi Jianlian is a flexible No. 4 with excellent range.

Peterson is also a quality 3-and-D player.

With these fantastic role players around Paul, it's no surprise that they can play.

……

He was followed by the Jazz led by Deron Williams, known as Paul's lifelong enemy.

They played a negative record.

Delon and Boozer are known as the new duo of the Utah Jazz and their fighting power is amazing.

Deron Williams is even known as eating and sleeping to beat Paul.

……

In fourth place was the losing San Antonio Spurs.

The old and stalwart Spurs.

As long as the GDP is still there, they will always be the favorites to win the championship, as steady as old dogs.

In fifth place, it was finally the Grizzlies' turn, and they lost.

……

Just looking at the top five in the West, the Lakers have 41 wins and the Grizzlies have 38 wins...... With only three wins between first and fifth, you can imagine how fierce the competition is in the West.

A single win can often affect the ranking of several teams!

The sixth to eighth places in the West are the Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, and Phoenix Suns.

The eighth-place Suns even have 35 wins.

……

The situation in the east is completely different in the west.

In the East, the top four teams are all favourites.

And from fifth place, it is clearly not a level.

No. 1, Philadelphia 76ers, 44-7.

The defending champions led by Iverson and Yao Ming are outstanding, and their record is even better than that of the Lakers, and they are in the leading position.

However, it is not fair to compare the 76ers to the Lakers.

The Lakers play more against the strong teams in the West, and the 76ers play more against the weaker teams in the East.

In second place, it was the Orlando Magic who lost.

Maddie, Howard, Lewis, Tecoglu, Huo's second uncle...... This Magic team has a very gorgeous lineup and a championship look.

Of course, they also have hidden dangers.

This season is the final year of Howard's child labor contract.

By the summer, Howard would have signed a salary cap.

At that point, the Magic will face a huge luxury tax.

Third place, losing to the Celtics.

Ray Allen and Pierce are aiming for the title.

Jefferson, Perkins, and Rondo are all good role players, and the Celtics should not be underestimated.

Fourth place, the Pistons.

The Pistons' record is still excellent.

But as everyone knows, today's Pistons are getting weaker and weaker, and they are no longer the favorites for the championship that year.

"Big Ben" Ben Wallace left Detroit for money.

Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton are getting older.

It still seems to be strong, but the Pistons are actually on the verge of a rebuild.

Within a few years, they will face dramatic changes.

The top four teams in the East have a record of 38 wins or better, which is still comparable to the top four teams in the West.

However, when it came to the Cavaliers, who were fifth in the East, their record fell directly to the negative.

The seventh-place Raptors lost, and the eighth-place Hawks lost...... The seventh and eighth win rates are even less than 50 percent.

……

Therefore, in terms of the general trend, it is still a situation where the west is strong and the east is weak.

……

Soon, the league also announced the final results of the All-Star vote.

Kobe Bryant occupied the first place with 2.42 million votes, overturning Li Lei's three-year monopoly on the vote king.

Of course, many fans have expressed doubts about this.

With a huge number of Chinese fans as the back, no one thought that Li Lei would lose to Kobe.

Many fans think it's NBA cheating.

Conspiracy theory: The NBA will not tolerate a foreign player dominating the All-Star spot for a long time.

The NBA was quick to respond to the fans, assuring that they would check themselves and give the fans a satisfactory answer.

But...... Huh.

The NBA acts as an enforcer, a supervisor, an inspector...... Check yourself, if you can find something wrong, it's a joke.

But Li Lei can actually understand it.

This season, Kobe Bryant finally has a strong helper by his side.

The Lakers' record is unbeatable, Kobe's style of play itself attracts fans, and Kobe Bryant is in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States......

These reasons add up, Kobe Bryant's votes have bottomed out, and it is not impossible to surpass Li Lei.

Li Lei received 2.41 million votes, followed closely behind.

In the center position of the West, O'Neal received 990,000 votes and ranked first.

Behind O'Neill are Camby with 410,000 votes, Chandler with 290,000 votes, and Dampier with 250,000 votes.

Forward position in the West.

Li Lei had 2.41 million votes, ranking first.

It was followed by Garnett with 1.72 million votes, Duncan with 1.71 million votes, Anthony with 1.7 million votes, Nowitzki with 1.35 million votes, Boozer with 550,000 votes, Yi Jianlian with 540,000 votes, Gasol with 510,000 votes, and Durant with 500,000 votes......

Yes, the forward position in the West is still the most competitive.

Defender position in the West.

Bryant ranked second with 2.42 million votes.

This was followed by Nash's 1.59 million votes, Paul's 1 million votes, Hill's 800,000 votes, Ginobili's 540,000 votes, Parker's 500,000 votes, Byron Davis' 490,000 votes, and Terry's 300,000 votes......

The magical Hill is worthy of being the former king of votes.

After a six-year break, he was fourth in the back as soon as he returned.
