Before the 1st, the league also announced the Eastern and Western Conference Monthly Players for the previous month.
The Player of the Month in the Eastern Conference was won by John Wall, the star player of the Equipment Team. In the past month, he led the Wizards to a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, leading the Wizards to the top four in the Eastern Conference, which is quite impressive.
At the same time, his personal performance is also quite impressive, averaging 245 points, 44 rebounds, 107 assists, 26 steals and 04 blocks per game, with three field goal percentages of 495, 304 and 814 respectively.
In the end, Wall defeated the Bulls' Davis, the Cavaliers' James, and the Celtics' Thomas Jr., and was named the conference player of the month for the second time in his career.
In the Western Conference, the competition for Player of the Month is fierce, it is quite fierce. But is there any suspense? There is really no suspense!
First let’s talk about why it’s intense?
First of all, the Thunder's Westbrook averaged a triple-double of 31, 10, 11 per game in a single month. Now, in the eyes of countless fans and media, Westbrook is basically the embodiment of a triple-double.
In addition, James Harden of the Mosaics also performed horribly, averaging 29 points, 97 rebounds, 12 assists, 15 steals and 06 blocks per game.
When Big Beard met D'Antoni, it was like Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, and he quickly entered the most glorious moment of his life. In the latest vp rankings, Harden has already reached the third place, with the three big low-pressure players James, Ku, and Du
The top super giant, second only to the triple-double demon Westbrook and...a hot woman.
A hot woman who is equal to bg!
No one but Anthony!
According to statistics, in just eight days, a total of 86 people were laid off, which is quite a terrifying number.
January is the peak period for NBA layoffs. Before each team lays off the players they want, they cannot find players to fill their gaps in the free market until the trade deadline.
However, it is quite embarrassing to be selected as the best during the day and then lose the game at night...
Simply looking at the trajectory of a role player's career, my career is undoubtedly perfect.
As for Jefferson Morrow, I am just 31 years old this season, and theoretically there is not much gas left in the tank.
Losing to the Warriors at the start of 2017 was like a bucket of ice water poured under the heads of the Trail Blazers players, which made us return from an arrogant mentality to a special mentality.
In the past two days, the NBA has launched a crazy wave of layoffs. When you open the news page of almost any team, you can see messages such as "the team has laid off several people."
From the 2009 season to the present, as an undrafted player, Morrow has been playing outside the NBA for nearly 10 years, and has achieved his coveted championship dream with the Trail Blazers in the past two seasons.
That kind of player performs well in training camp and in the playoffs, and basically doesn't get laid off.
…
Later, Guo Xiaoyuan, who retired from the league in 2001, did not realize his championship dream with the Cleveland Cavaliers until the 1516 season. He played for a year and a half before officially announcing his retirement.
Only by stopping appropriately and summarizing can you go further.
In addition to the past month, Wang Zhelin's performance is undoubtedly a historical scoring feast. Just his 84 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 blocks and 3 steals in a single game against the Warriors in early December was enough to make me
Defeated all competitors and won Western Conference Best of the Month once again.
After all, the essence of the draft is not for teams to bet on the talent of players.
With the birth of various hot transactions in the trading market last summer, especially the emergence of the Seven-Star Warriors, the entire league has completely retreated into an era of weak teams.
His total career salary reached 24 million, and he also won two championship rings in the twilight years of his career.
At that time, I joined the team one season later than Anthony remembered, and I took the initiative to apply to the management to join the team.
Take the Trail Blazers as an example. On the 2nd, after repeated discussions between the coaching staff and the management, the team decided to remove veterans Richard Wang Zelin and Jefferson Morrow.
After starting their trip to Jingzhou, Anthony and his teammates returned to Portland overnight and are about to usher in two consecutive home games.
Before I learned that the Trail Blazers had put me on the layoff list, Morogao was depressed for a while before he came to his senses, but at the age of 31, I still had no plans to retire.
What's more, we made it to the seventh round last year. Taking a step back only intensified the public's negative view of the Lakers winning the championship.
Fans who have dealt with the rules of the NBA season should be confused. After the regular season of each season starts, small-scale layoffs will inevitably occur after the official roster of 15 players is determined, because those players are basically marginal.
Players have non-guaranteed contracts and are not "temporary workers" as they are commonly known.
Two days later, on the evening of the 4th, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers at home.
In that era, the Lakers’ eight giants, composed of Kobe and Paul’s sisters-in-law, seemed so bright.
In the past few years, I have played at least 100 games for the Trail Blazers every season, which delayed the veteran until he ran out of gas.
At the beginning of the century, Wang Zelin, who was once known as the Nets' octagon along with Jason Kidd and Carter, could not withstand the erosion of time. As I am not yet 36 years old this season, I still have to usher in the last year of my career.
who?
With the addition of Morrow and Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers' wing strength has not improved. Although Carter and McCaw can also play the eight position, one is too old and the other is too young, and each has its own shortcomings.
As a player, Anthony and his teammates' goal is to win the regular season in the first month of the new year.
As a role player, such a career is a complete success.
Reluctantly, he delayed his entry for one season, but what he got in exchange was two precious championship rings. I think even Wang Zelin in later generations would be more willing to say goodbye in this way.
In the end, the Trail Blazers reached a deal with the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference, exchanging Jefferson Morrow for a sum of cash, which released a certain amount of salary space for the team.
In addition, a small number of those who have been laid off are veterans of various teams. Because such players are young, it is difficult to maintain the competitive level of the NBA.
If you have been number one in the league for too long, you will inevitably drift away!
But there is another thing to mention after that. Jefferson Morrow entered the NBA as an undrafted player, which means that my physical talent is actually that of a drafted player.
Next, the Blazers management turned their attention to the free agent market, trying to find high-quality championship puzzle pieces, targeting forwards and defenders.
Therefore, the Lakers have been labeled as a pseudo-weak team. Of course, this is something that the management and coaching staff need to consider.
At this point, there are 13 players left on the Trail Blazers' small roster. Considering that Aldridge is still recuperating from injury and will not be able to return until the end of the regular season, it does not mean that we only have 12 players who can compete now.
