990 is as stable as Mount Tai
Time always passes quickly, especially when you are unintentionally.
Yesterday's weather forecast seemed to be saying that the Atlantic cold current was about to rage the American continent, but today I opened the window and it seemed that the plants and trees were sprouting and growing leaves...
The first month of 2ll year slipped away without realizing it, leaving it to the NHA with games one after another. The players have begun to be numb and have lost their passion for data and their desire for victory. Even the rookies who are most eager for the game have become employees who check in to and from get off work.
The Warriors' record is still extremely dazzling. In 14 games in 1 month, they won 13 wins and lost only one game. In these fourteen games, Chamberlain's performance was still as strong as ever. He averaged 3.4 points, 17 rebounds, and 6 blocks per game. Both opponents and fans began to adapt to his status as the king.
In any occasional game, if Chamberlain scored 3 or had less than 15 rebounds, fans would ask curiously, "Hey, what's wrong with Chamberlain? Did he eat his stomach and go to the stripper bar all night to play or have conflicts with his teammates?"
With a nearly sweep posture, Chamberlain won the best player in the West in 1 month. In addition, he also led the M rankings and was an absolute advantage.
The Warriors are not a team with perfect equipment in every position. They lack substitutes in the inside, no real organizers on the outside, lack depth on the bench, etc., and there are many shortcomings.
However, such a Warriors are still invincible because they have one advantage, and that advantage is that they have Chamberlain.
Carter's integration with the Warriors is not perfect, but it's not bad. He has become the Warriors' most powerful attack weapon on the outside, so that West can concentrate on learning to control the team, and there is no need for the team to attack the ring with the determination to blow up the bunker every game.
The Warriors did a very right thing, which was to bring Jamison and Carter's brother-in-law together. When they were on the court, their attack efficiency could be improved by 18. Unfortunately, the unreliable defense between the two made Old Nelson always tremble.
George's growth has taken one step at a time, Curry's three-pointer has become more and more accurate, and old Nelson has begun to shake his beliefs. He may no longer need to introduce any experts to the outside, and it is time for Curry to stand alone.
But it was Jeremy Lin who brought the biggest surprise to the fans.
In February, Jeremy Lin led a new basketball craze in the Chinese world. After scoring 6 points and 6 assists against the Hawks, Jeremy Lin got more playing time in the second game, and scored points in 3 minutes. In the third game, against the New York Knicks, he scored 2 points again and 1 assist.
It can be said that Jeremy Lin made an indelible contribution to the Warriors' crazy February.
Now other teams are scared to the point of being disgusted. Jeremy Lin's performance is too similar to Chamberlain back then. He is Chamberlain on the outside. If there is really a Chamberlain on the outside and he is in the same team as Chamberlain on the inside, then the other teams will not play unless they form an All-Star lineup.
Fortunately, in late February, as Jeremy Lin's physical strength declined and his research became transparent, his performance had become normalized, and the positioning of his old Nelson was to replace the point guard.
For other teams and other players, this is the best time and the worst time.
January of 2ll, this is the beginning of the second decade of the new century. The Heat's "big three" finally reacted, and the Lakers also played the value of the Western Conference giant. Ross is leading the young Bulls to prepare for a revival. The young Griffin came out of nowhere to torture the basket...
As January ends, it is not far from the All-Star Game. Only half a month later, Oakland will become the stage for the American basketball world.
The All-Star Game starts, which means that the NH season is over halfway through.
From this halfway perspective, compared with the All-Star era in the 1930s, the UB, which is full of personality, is more like a shopping mall than a sports field. This may be a milestone era, with some people withdrawing from the stage, some people rushing in, and some people leaving with honor.
After half of the season, many players and teams surprised the league, not only in their record, but also in their performance.
The season started with Rondo's magical performance and seemed to indicate that it would be an extremely complex season. Many X factors will become the key to this season. The two teams that have attracted the most attention in the league did not give us the due performance we expected.
Especially the Miami Heat, after the start of the game, they encountered a great crisis, their record declined and their motivation was blocked, and James was denied and cursed by almost all teams and fans in the league.
Miami once became the target of public criticism because the schedule was too tight at the beginning and frequently encountered strong teams. The Heat, which had not yet fully entered the form and had been running-in, became the most disappointing team in the league.
They were turned upside down by the Jazz at home and had difficulty winning the game away. After losing to the Mavericks, the team's in-squad meeting became one of the biggest twists of the Heat this season.
Almost all the contradictions have been resolved. The coexistence of Wade and James, the coach's ability to control the team, the substitute's performance and the rotation of the inside were all covered by the Heat's almost perfect winning streak.
But the Heat need to do a lot to break through the Celtics and Magic. Their inside line is still fatal. How far Wade and James can lead the team depends on whether their running-in can go further.
The Heat have already entered the state in the second half of the season. If there is no accident, although they have lost to the Celtics continuously, considering the Celtics' age and physical strength issues, the Heat are likely to climb to the top in the East at the end of the regular season and gain a home advantage.
The Lakers' schedule after the start of the game was extremely easy, but they lost the best chance to establish their home advantage due to Gasol's injury.
The Lakers fail to make good use of the perfect half-season may make themselves lose their home advantage in the playoffs and even the Western Conference Finals. Now it seems that the Lakers are still the Warriors' strong opponent in the Western Conference Finals.
However, this is not absolute. The Western Conference's powerful men are fighting particularly fiercely. Except for the Warriors, no other team dares to say what they can do, including the Lakers, either.
If the Mavericks had not suffered a series of losses due to the loss of Butler and Nowitzki at the end of the half, if the GDP had not started to rest, the Lakers would have to enter the second half with a third or fourth place in the West.
However, even after the half-time with the second place in the West, the Lakers still leaked too many problems. In the record of confronting the league's super strong teams, the Lakers even narrowly beat the Bulls at home, and lost all the other six games.
Especially when they lost to the Warriors at home, that game exposed the Lakers' old problems and disadvantages. They lack enthusiasm and always concentrate for a long time. The serious decline in Artest's form directly affected the Lakers' overall defense and outside defense, which made their strong inside line always troubled by fouls.
You should know that the Lakers have only encountered 10 teams with a winning rate of 50% or more than 50% in the entire half. The record of 6 wins and 6 losses has almost wasted their best half-time schedule in the league.
Kobe began to age, and his three-point shooting percentage was even about 20%. The Lakers wanted to defend the title, which may be the most difficult hurdle they have encountered in the past four years.
Especially they lost 15 points or more in the middle of the game, which made the Lakers fall to freezing point. On February 2, 210, the Lakers lost 19 points to the Bucks at home, and then the Lakers lost 6 points to one of the imagined opponents in the finals at Christmas. This is the third time in the history of the Lakers that lost at home and lost at least 6 points in a row. You should know that this happened before or the Minneapolis Lakers era, which was already 6 years ago.
Then when the Lakers lost 15 points to San Antonio, it was the second longest record in the history of the Lakers to lose 15 consecutive points. If the Lakers want to win the championship, the Warriors, Spurs, Celtics and the Heat are the biggest obstacles.
The problem before them is that even if the Lakers are lucky enough to surpass the Warriors, once they lose their home advantage over Boston or Miami in the finals, the Lakers' prospects will be extremely embarrassing.
The Spurs have made the Warriors feel unprecedented pressure this season. You should know that the Spurs have not changed much, which may indicate that the Spurs will regroup and return to the finals. However, the Spurs still have some problems. Whether they can win the championship in the end depends on how the Spurs deal with these issues.
The Celtics are the most low-key team except the Spurs this season, but from Rondo's magical runaway after the start of the game, to Lei Helun's efficiency and Garnett's return, Boston has become one of the four favorites to win the championship in the league. Many people even believe that they will still beat the Heat in the East to enter the finals.
In the summer trade, O'Neal Jr., plus Garnett and Perkins, the Bostonians' goal in the new season is not the Heat, but the Warriors at all.
They were greatly affected by Perkins' absence last season, and Boston was able to occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference this season even though he lost Perkins for a while.
The Celtics have surpassed the Spurs and become the team with the highest tactical literacy in the league. Garnett's return in form and the changes brought to the Celtics' inside line after O'Neal's arrival directly revitalized the entire team.
Pierce is still strong, while Lei Helun has become the best three-pointer in the league history, with his three-point shooting percentage setting a career high. Coupled with Rondo's current demon-like performance, the entire Boston team is running perfectly.
Occasionally losing to a weak team does not really reflect the strength of Boston's overall tactics. Two defeats to the Heat have shown many problems. Boston may do his best to strive for better results in the second half of the year to gain a home advantage over the Heat or the Lakers, which is one of the important factors in whether they can win the championship this year.
The Bulls and Mavericks are the teams with the greatest variables in the East and West except for the above four teams. Because the Magic's unstable state this season, the Bulls once ranked second in the East.
Rose's rise this season has still surprised the league, but overall, the Bulls still need time to prove themselves, especially as they are still young.
The Eastern Magic may become the most easily disruptive team in the East from one of the top three last season. Howard, who has the league's number one center, still has the ability to lead the Magic back to the top, and even if the Mavericks lose Butler, their deep bench lineup is enough to be ⊥They become one of the candidate teams for the Western Conference champions.
In fact, the league has divided the tiers of this season, with Boston, Heat, Magic, Bulls, Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks being the first tier of the league.
The Thunder and the Hawks will play the role of the second and quasi-first teams in the West and the East respectively. This season, the West still surpasses the East as a whole, but as far as the super strong teams are concerned, the East team is enough to compete or even slightly beat the West team.
The Cavaliers are in a struggle, and the Nets and Timberwolves are sure to become the lottery team. The Bobcats, Bucks, Grizzlies and the Suns need to hit the first eight, and they are still hovering on the edge after half of the season.
The league has entered the Warring States era, and Miami hopes to get a big scene, but the Lakers will be ahead of them for at least two years, while Boston and the Spurs will not age to the point where they will withdraw from the stage next season.
This may not be the best era, but it may be the most eye-catching and personal experience.
Each team has found their own position. After half a time, the strength and weakness are clearly distinguished and the hierarchy is obvious. This is the main theme of this season - the Warring States Period.
