Chapter 747 The Rise of the Legend(1/2)
The Warriors and the Spurs made great strides after the start of the game, which is actually not surprising in the entire league.
Just say that this season, the Western Conference has suffered a rapid decline in strength due to the rapid decline in strength of the Lakers and Timberwolves, resulting in a gap in strength between the Spurs and the Warriors.
Just talking about the East and the East, the beginning of the season, all kinds of former super teams actually have many problems.
For example, the Heat team was disbanded, and the Raptors and Bucks changed their head coaches, and it was a really good time to get in the early stage of the season.
Now in the entire East, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers have also had amazing results.
So, this season is really a very special season for the NBA.
The NBA has entered a period of adjustment since its peak in the past few seasons.
And during this adjustment period, the number of super strong teams in the east and west has declined.
Of course, this number drop is temporary.
Not to mention whether the Raptors can recover, the Bucks will definitely recover.
After all, the Bucks are there.
In December, the Warriors' schedule was very good. In the 14 games in December, the strongest one may be the Bulls led by Wade.
Including the Bulls, the Warriors have 14 games in December, and only 5 of them are currently in the playoffs.
All the other 9 games were lottery.
With such a schedule, the Warriors played very easily.
Just talk about Chen Xiao, in the 14 games in December, Chen Xiao clocked in and got off work in three quarters in 10 games. In December, Chen Xiao averaged only 32 points per game, and his average data was only 24 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists per game.
Since Westbrook averaged triple-double per game last season, Chen Xiao has not continued to pursue this data, or in other words, Chen Xiao has never pursued it before.
After Cole focused on cultivating Jokic this season, Chen Xiao was even very happy to distribute the authority of his team's tactical core to Jokic, hoping that Jokic could grow quickly.
For Chen Xiao now, data is indeed not that important.
The Warriors have been opening three quarters like this now, and it is indeed difficult for Chen Xiao to obtain data.
I can only say that things are so interesting. When you enjoy the environment with poor strength in the West, you also need to bear the impact of data in the West, which is difficult to obtain such a long presence time.
Of course, Chen Xiao’s data is not very good, and Luo Ge, who is Chen Xiao’s competitor in the western region, his data will not be good either.
On the contrary, Xiao Zhan, the player in the Cavaliers who is temporarily ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Conference this season, has a very amazing data this season.
The competitive environment in the East is good, and at the same time, Xiao Zhan's transformation is also very successful. He is now a terminator and is very easy to play.
With Duncan getting older, Jaycee is now the league's number one power forward.
Especially as the league's inside line is getting faster and faster, and traditional inside lines are getting fewer and fewer, Xiao Zhan's score in the inside line is quite easy.
So, after the game in December, Chen Xiao, who won the best of the month in December, won the West again.
In the East, Xiao Zhan, who led the team with 13 wins and 1 loss, also won the best month in the East for two consecutive months.
After the entire December game, the Warriors achieved a record of 28 wins and 2 losses, and ranked first in the league with the Spurs. Of course, the Spurs won directly, so they ranked first, the Warriors were second, while the Cavaliers had third with 27 wins and 3 losses.
It is worth mentioning that in December, the Spurs lost one of the two games, one of which was the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' strong dialogue this season is very strong, but they beat the weak team and failed two games.
The Cavaliers' game is extremely intense now. The inside combination of Oden and James can limit almost any offensive system to a tight limit.
What's more, the outside of the two inside combinations is Danny Green, Matthews and Conley.
More importantly, they have been together for many years, and their tacit understanding is really invincible.
Anyway, the Cavaliers this season are very competitive.
It is worth mentioning that in this Christmas battle, the Warriors and Bulls, the confrontation between Chen Xiao and Wade, the two fought well in this game, and staged a visual feast for many fans who are paying attention to this game.
Before leaving the Heat, Wade needed to abide by the Heat's tactical discipline, although Wade has always been a very selfless player.
But it is obvious that with the Heat and with so many superstar teammates, it is difficult for Wade to completely let go of the game.
But it's completely different in Chicago Bulls.
This season, Wade played very freely with the Bulls, and at the same time, he also led the team very well. This season, the Bulls' record so far is 20 wins and 10 losses, ranking fifth in the East.
This is a very outstanding record.
I can only say that Wade, who has not suffered major injuries in this career, is almost 33 years old now, but his strength is still super strong.
In fact, what Wade is stronger now is his control over the game.
In terms of his own offense and ball rights distribution, it can be said that he has reached the level of great excellence.
And Wade is indeed very willing to work hard for the Chicago Bulls.
This is not only because this is the team he supported when he was a child, his hometown team, but also because he is grateful to the team for giving him a maximum salary of 5260 million yuan.
So, it may be very incredible to say that this season, who would have thought that the top two players in the scoring list were Kobe and Wade.
Moreover, the only three players in the NBA who averaged more than 30 points per game this season are the best.
As for the third one, a certain Knicks's Tortoise Boy...
Last season, he averaged 30 points per game and used 25 shots per game.
This season, Westbrook is even more crazy. With Anthony, he has to average 25 shots per game.
So far, his data is still a triple-double average of 30+ per game.
Good guy, this Tortoise boy is likely to be the second player after becoming Chen Xiao this season to average triple-double and 30+ triple-double in two consecutive seasons.
You know, when Chen Xiao came out for 30+ triple-double in a row, experts at that time said that there was no one coming later.
Good guy, in just a few years, the Tortoise Boy has emerged.
I can only say that the NBA in this world is really hard to guess.
By the way, the Christmas game between Wade and Chen Xiao was also a milestone for Wade. In this game, his NBA total score reached 25,000 points.
It has to be said that the first three Hawks of Marquette University have accumulated data in the NBA more and more powerful.
Chen Xiao's total score has reached nearly 33,000 points, while Wade has reached 25,000 points, while Luo Ge is moving towards 22,000 points.
Even widened the range a little further. The two claws that Sanhawks caught in two, Braxson and Dena, are now moving towards 10,000 points.
Although Braxson has lost the starting position and replaced the starting position with the Bucks by Zhu Meng Green, and Dena has always been a substitute, the two are still the leaders of the Bucks.
When the two retire, it is certain that they will reach 10,000 points, and they will definitely retire their jerseys with the Bucks.
By then, the three eagles and two claws at Marquette University will all become legends, which is a good story.
On January 2, the Warriors played against the Raptors at home. In this game, Chen Xiao met his good friend Nash and took charge of the coaching stick.
The Raptors this season have not had a good record under the leadership of Nash. Of course, it is difficult to have Milicic, the league's number one center now.
Now the Raptors are ranked sixth in the East. Previously, the Raptors have always been the first in the Atlantic Division. The Raptors have been the number one in the Atlantic Division for almost 10 years, but this year, they have been surpassed by the Boston Kyle.
The Celtics have been rebuilt. Noah, Guy, Adam Morrison, and Rubio are now very strong.
Perhaps even if Nash doesn't take charge of the team, and the one who takes charge of the team is Old Nelson, it will be difficult for the Raptors to be better than the Celtics in terms of record this season.
Gu Lu
One is a team that keeps going up, while the other is a team that is already old.
In this game with the Raptors, the Warriors' starting players were Jokic, Davis, Chen Xiao, Clay and Bill.
On the Raptors, there are Milicic, Josh Smith, Almi Johnson, Terrence Rose, and Rory.
In fact, this lineup is very strong in terms of hard strength.
In fact, the Raptors played well this season, and the players performed well, but at critical moments, the Raptors would lose because of the arrangement of key tactics, which is also the reason why Nash was criticized this season.
Being surpassed by the Celtics is a trend, and there is nothing to say, but being surpassed so quickly, Nash is bound to be responsible.
But this is what experts believe.
For the Raptors players and fans, even if Nash leads the team to dive, they have no objection.
For this team, unless Nash resigns himself, he will not be dismissed.
If Yao Ming is the head coach of Shanghai, will he be fired?
In this game, Jokic appeared in the starting lineup again. This was a special arrangement by the Warriors, hoping that he would compete with his own national team's big brother Milicic.
Milicic is now Yao Ming’s number one center forward in the league after he retired.
With the power of World Cup championship and defeating the United States, Milicic's performance this season was excellent.
In the Raptors, they can contribute 28 points, 14 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.7 blocks per game.
This data can be said to be incredible in luxury.
Even when Yao Ming was there, Yao Ming could not produce such data.
It can only be said that Milicic's omnipotence and excellence make him born for data.
With such data and performance, even if the American media recommends Oden, there is no way to meet Milicic.
I can only continue to give the first center to international players.
To be continued...
