NBA New Year's Season, basketball "Spring Festival Gala" began!
On January 26, the Nets will play the Lakers at home.
In the NBA, there's a saying that if you're on an important game day and don't know which team is right to schedule, choose the Lakers.
NBA's "Spring Festival Gala", the Lakers are the brightest star, even if they struggle with the record, encounter rumors, still in the spotlight, if coupled with the Nets, that is, the feelings and traffic are full at the same time, the game is hot and hot.
"Spring Festival Gala" pays attention to a veteran out of the horse, James is today's NBA, the most "unlike" veteran of the veteran, 37 years old he has scored 25+ in 17 consecutive games, the league this season only Trae Young and Old Zhan to achieve 25+ consecutive games to reach 15 or more, and Yang Shaoxia this year 24, when James entered the NBA, the current Eagle ace is only 5 years old.
James' average of points per game this season has reached 29 points, just 0.3 points per game with Durant, who leads the scoring list. Adu can't play in the Nets' battle against the Lakers because of a knee injury, but Brooklyn has an offensive master who wins three points.
Harden started the season slowly, scoring not as "brutal" as before, he is chasing paul on the assists list, Deng ge currently averages 10.1 assists per game, CP3 averages 10.2 times per game, and the competition for assist kings is as suspenseful as the scoring king.
Harden has never lost the ability to cut high scores, but because the offseason recuperation training is not systematic, affecting the physical explosiveness, while the league has changed the scale of blowing penalties, so that his scoring version this season is not stable, high and low.
The free throw line is Harden's scoring lifeline, he has 8 games 30+ this season, including 6 free throws 10+, dengge who walked on the free throw line, is the hottest dunge, such as he played 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the year-end war, that game of free throws 17 times, leading the Nets to play a triumphant song, beating the Lakers.
Harden's form is a reflection of the Nets' state, you can't say they're not good, but they're not as good as expected. On Jan. 24, the Nets scored 125 points against the Timberwolves, but dropped a season-high 136 points, and the Timberwolves scored in double figures, including 3 with 20+.
Defense is not the Nets' strength, their advantage is in offensive firepower, but because Durant is injured, Irving can not play the home game, the Nets' offense is always unable to reach the full grid, which can also explain why there are recent rumors of Harden and the 76ers "eyebrows", the Nets theoretical ceiling is very high, but has not been reached.
Winning is the best way to dispel rumors, and the Nets want to win thanks to Harden's drive and the assistance of teammates, especially Mills. This season, when "Mishen" scored 20+ and the Nets were 10-3, he set a season record of 34 points, which came from the year-end battle against the Lakers.
The Nets are groping for a way to touch the ceiling of combat power, while the Lakers experience a stronger gap between the ideal of fullness and the reality of bone. The team that formed the Big Three failed to reach a 50% win rate, and the season prospects slipped from the championship to the current reserve for the play-offs.
The lakers and the nets have the opposite problem, the nets are in the offseason to add a large number of defensive players, but did not expect that their "singles little prince" refused to vaccinate, resulting in offensive resources downgrade, the Lakers are in the offseason to obtain a large number of offensive players, resulting in the loss of defensive resources, the result of the ability to resist the opponent's attack plummeted.
The Lakers are looking forward to the evolution of the offense, because Ofsho less than 30% of the three-point shooting rate and stagnant, with a small lineup to drive the space, but there are side effects of the basket is not good, the year-end war old Zhan was still remembered by Clarkston. In that game, James had 39 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and Wei Shao handed over a triple-double of 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, but it was hot on 4-of-20 shooting.
Vogel was embarrassed, the rumors of the end of the class were rampant, wei Shao also became the protagonist of the rumor, and the news of exchanging "poison" with Wall "poison" caused heated discussions. The Lakers in winter are not very peaceful.
The Lakers need a player who can both bring space on the offensive end and protect the penalty area on the defensive end, and this person has been in the Lakers' lineup and has only been recuperating from injuries for more than a month. Against the Nets, the Lakers are expected to welcome him back.
Anthony Davis, the Lakers salvaged the last hope of this season.
The thick-browed brother was criticized by fans before he was injured, but when he really stopped fighting, the Lakers struggled. Thick eyebrows healed these days, the Lakers 7 wins and 10 losses, their offensive efficiency during this period is 11th, the ranking is acceptable, but mainly due to the old Zhan 17 battlefield average 32.5 points of the bitter support, and the Lakers' defensive efficiency is only ranked 24th, losing 51 points per game in the box.
If the Lakers' offense can still be maintained by Old Zhan, their defense lacks thick eyebrows, which is really full of holes.
If all goes well, Thick Brow will make a comeback in the game against the Nets. This is a blessing for the Lakers, and it is also the last straw they can grasp. If the thick eyebrows can strengthen the Lakers' offensive and defensive capabilities and push them back to the right track, the Lakers may still have salvation this season.
Where the Lakers go, the answer starts from this NBA "Spring Festival Gala".
