Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

Because the Suns were playing an away game, they returned to Phoenix contentedly after eating two full meals with Nowitzki and others, preparing for the next game.

This wave of 7 consecutive trips made this group of athletes leave for half a month.

Everyone felt a burst of exhaustion. Fortunately, the league is not ruthless. Next, the Suns can play several consecutive games at home, and the interval between games is relatively large, allowing them to have a good rest.

For example, from December 26th to January 1st, during the whole week, the Suns only need to play 2 games, and they are all at home against underdogs, namely the Charlotte Hornets and the Toronto Raptors Team.

After winning these two games easily, the Suns also raised their winning streak to 9 games. They still maintained their pursuit of the Spurs and firmly occupied the second place in the Western Conference.

At the beginning of the new year, the alliance finally issued some small awards and brand new rankings for December.

The first is the team's combat power list.

The San Antonio Spurs are still ranked No. 1. Their solid strength and complete lineup system allow them to firmly hold the No. 1 position in the league two months after the start of the game.

And their average net points per game is still the highest in the league!

Ranked second is the Phoenix Suns. With their recent winning streak, they have successfully ranked second in the league and second in the Western Conference. At the same time, the Suns have the highest offensive efficiency and scoring average in the league. No. 1 in 3-point shots and 3-point shooting percentage. As the league's number one offensive force, they now have Lin Zhan!

Lin Zhan's outstanding rebounding ability has allowed the Suns to have no rebounding losses in 7 consecutive games. This is the most valuable asset for this Suns team! After all, Stoudemire's injury affects the entire inside system of the Suns team. Their already fragile inside line has not been completely broken by the opponent until now, and Lin Zhan's rebounding is definitely the most important reason.

Under the Suns, the third is the Mavericks, the fourth and fifth are the Eastern duo Pistons and the Heat, the 16th, the sixth and the seventh are the Denver Nuggets and Cleveland Cavaliers led by the 03 golden generation Anthony and James, plus The fifth Heat, the Platinum Trio of the 2003 generation, has begun to slowly take over the league and become a force to be reckoned with.

As for the next ones, the New Jersey Nets, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings and other teams.

Among the top ten, there are 4 Eastern teams and 6 Western teams. This ratio is finally not as exaggerated as it was at the beginning of the season.

Another list is the mvp list, which is also the favorite list of many people in the league and the majority of fans.

In this list, Dirk Nowitzki ranks first. He leads the Mavericks this season and is expected to hit the tenth 60 wins in team history.

In second place is Steve Nash!

Nash was able to bring the Suns to the second place in the Western Conference after the team lost a lot of main scorers, especially after Stoudemire was absent due to injury. His contribution and leadership can be seen, even if Lin Zhan plays better and better , but everyone can see that Lin Zhan's defense may be able to lock up many star-level players on his own.

However, his offense and scoring depend entirely on Nash's passing. Lin Zhan's ability to score independently is still a major weakness of his.

Then came LeBron James of the Cavaliers in third, Kobe Bryant in fourth, Chauncey Billups, Elton Brand, Devin Wade, Teddy Tom Duncan and others, it is worth mentioning that the tenth place is actually Lin Zhan!

In the first year of his career, or to be precise, in the second month of his career, Lin Zhan broke into the top ten of the mp list!

This has caused a heated discussion and analysis among fans to study whether Lin Zhan is worthy of appearing in this position.

Lin Zhan once again became the center of discussion thanks to this mvp list!

And on the following rookie list, Lin Zhan went to the top without any surprises, overtook Chris Paul once again, and became the first place on the rookie list!

At the same time, Lin Zhan also won his first rookie of the month in the Western Conference together with Villanueva in the Eastern Conference.

Behind Lin Zhan on the rookie list are Chris Paul Andrew Bogut, Management Villanueva and other talented players who have been famous in college.

But compared to the tenth place in the mvp list, Lin Zhan's rookie of the month seems to have no objections.

After all, in terms of record, the Suns have won 9 consecutive victories in December. In terms of statistics, Lin Zhan averaged 18.1 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game in this 9-game winning streak. No matter how you look at it, he is worthy of this title and honor!

Of course, what Lin Zhan doesn't know is...

In New Orleans, a mysterious man with a height of 183 centimeters tore the newspaper in his hands to shreds after only looking at the rookie list.

"Lin Zhan! Last time I didn't hit you because you were lucky, next time I will definitely make you look good!"

Lin Zhan's strength has officially attracted the attention of the entire league, and many rookies or famous stars have already regarded Lin Zhan as a potential opponent.

Of course, more teams have begun to conduct some in-depth research on him before the start of the game against the Suns.

A large number of analysts, videographers and professional coaches began to gather in front of the TV to analyze Lin Zhan's game strategy, study his playing style, and look for his weaknesses on the court.

From now on, Lin Zhan has officially entered the field of vision of the major teams in the league. It will be difficult for him to play as easily as before!

This is actually the reason why many rookies encounter the so-called rookie wall.

Many rookies can always play well when they first enter the league. That is because most teams don't know how to study them and don't spend too much energy on them. It is precisely because of this that they can play well. Some really nice performances.

But after they gradually develop their playing style and reputation, other teams will not give them such a comfortable environment. Their shooting habits, playing characteristics, behavior preferences and even personality traits will be recognized by scouts and analysts throughout the league. They use it for research.

At this time, most rookies will often usher in a bottleneck period, their scoring and hits will drop significantly, and the number of turnovers will also increase.

Then there is a long or short adaptation period. Some players can quickly break through the so-called rookie wall and play wonderful games again. Such players can often become the top stars.

And some people are playing worse and worse, and it is difficult to regain the bravery at the beginning of the season. From this time on, it is actually a real watershed for each rookie to become a star.

Stars can quickly break through the rookie wall, and they are not even afraid of it at all. Rotation players may change their playing style and be a role player with peace of mind. Some people may never break through this wall in their entire lives, leaving the league early and disappearing from everyone.

Since January, Lin Zhan has also begun to find that his game is not so easy! Even though he relies more on Nash's pass to score, Lin Zhan finds that there are always more defenders on the way to his running position In delaying his running route, when he catches the ball, the defensive players will always rush forward more actively, preventing Lin Zhan from scoring easily.

More physical contact, greater defensive strength, plus Lin Zhan's weakness in handling the ball, many teams will double-team Lin Zhan to force him to make mistakes

Under such circumstances, throughout January, both the Suns' record and Lin Zhan's personal performance have declined to a certain extent.

The Suns failed to continue their winning streak in January, and only achieved a record of 8 wins and 5 losses throughout the month. After this mediocre month, although they were still able to sit in the second place in the Western Conference, their record has already fallen. Being overtaken by the Mavericks is all based on the advantage of being the first in the division to sit in this position.

Lin Zhan's average per game has also changed from 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals in December to 14 points, 10 rebounds and 2 steals in January. Although the rebounds continue to rise, Lin Zhan's turnovers have also increased from before December The average is less than 1 time per game, soaring to the average of 2 times per game in January.

His hit rate dropped from 52%+43%+80% in December to 47%+39%+78% in January.

The opponent's target has made it extremely difficult for Lin Zhan this month. Fortunately, he has gained the trust of D'Antoni and continues to make his contribution on the defensive end. Therefore, even though Bell's state has improved, the starting position is still the same. Still firmly occupied by Lin Zhan.

At the end of January, the results of the second voting for this year's All-Star voting were also announced.

The positions of most people have not changed, and the number of shocks has also risen steadily.

The very few changes come from the backcourt of the Eastern Conference "Flash" Wade. With his recent wonderful performance, he successfully surpassed the veteran star Vince Carter and became the second place in the Eastern Conference's backcourt. If he can continue to maintain, he will Can become an All-Star starter for the first time in his career.

In the West, Kobe's fans finally began to work hard after the first voting results came out. With their hard work, Kobe's votes finally surpassed Lin Zhan and became the first guard in the West, while Lin Zhan temporarily fell to the second.

As for the other positions, they have basically maintained their previous rankings, and have gradually opened up the distance from others behind them.

Yao, Garnett, Duncan, Kobe Bryant, and Lin Zhan in the West have basically secured the All-Star starting position.

The only suspense is that only Lin Zhan and Kobe are left, who can become the No. 1 backcourt in the Western Conference.

As for the eastern side, O'Neal, James, O'Neal and Iverson have also distanced themselves from the others, and have basically secured an All-Star starting position. Has reached the stage of white-hot.

The margin of votes between Carter and Wade is slim.

Whoever's fans make a little effort, they will be able to overtake their opponents immediately.

But there was no gap at all, and the gap between the two votes remained within tens of thousands of votes.

The competition between Wade and Carter is not only a head-on confrontation between famous superstars and rising stars in the league, it has also become a big topic that all fans talk about huge controversy.

But no matter who the fans are, the last topic will always come to Lin Zhan inadvertently.

Almost all the fans came back and said, "Anyway, he is more qualified than that guy Lin Zhan!"

This also directly caused Lin Zhan to keep sneezing after the results of the staged voting came out.

He wondered if he had a cold.

And on February 10, the week before the start of the 2006 All-Star Game, the discussion on this topic reached its peak.

Because the two core characters at the center of the topic will have a head-to-head confrontation on this day!

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns!

The current record of the Lakers is still mediocre, and they can only be ranked sixth in the West for the time being, but Kobe Bryant is truly in full swing!

2 months ago, Kobe 3

He scored 62 points in the quarter to kill the Mavericks. Half a month ago, Kobe scored 81 points and reversed the Raptors.

These two games are just the best two games of Kobe's crazy scoring show this season. He slaughtered the Clippers with 50 points, beat the Grizzlies with 55 points, beat the Hornets with 51 points, and beat the Hornets with 49 points.

king...

In his entire January, Kobe played incredible performances, all kinds of high scores, all kinds of performances supporting a team by himself, he almost single-handedly defeated the disabled

The broken Lakers dragged to the sixth position in the West.

This month, Kobe averaged 29.6 shots per game, with a 53% shooting rate, and averaged 43 points per game! You know, this month's Lakers averaged just 9 points per game.

4 points!

Kobe alone, every game has to score more than 45% of the team's points to ensure the team wins!

It was also this month's Kobe who completely convinced countless fans who didn't like him, hated him, and discredited him.

There are quite a few people who, for the first time, have raised a question on the Internet and in reality.

Could it really be O'Neal that delayed Kobe?

It was Kobe who was so full of firepower, scored crazy points, and presented the greatest personal scoring show in the entire 21st century to fans all over the world. Finally, on the day of February 10th, he met

On the Suns.

It stands to reason that this is just an ordinary regular season. Although Lin Zhan and Kobe are neck and neck in the All-Star voting, but in terms of status, statistics, and ability, the current Lin Zhan and Kobe

Kobe is not a player of the same level at all!

The reason why he was able to attract so much attention and expectations was because Kobe said a word to the media after the game 2 days ago.

"I can't stand a guard who scores and needs to be fed, on par with me! I'm going to blow him up, you can expect that.

"So, are you going to perform like that against the Raptors again?" Immediately, a reporter smelled the smell of gunpowder, and asked urgently.

"Maybe."

Kobe only left this one word, which attracted fans all over the world eagerly looking forward to it!

TNT even temporarily changed their broadcast plan, so the game was broadcast live across the United States.

Bryant's popularity now....... can be seen!.
