From today on is the king

Chapter 1529 Chapter 1528. This is Maddie (seeking a monthly ticket)

In the past few years, every January, the NBA will point to the Eagles, Lakers, Heat, Suns, and Mavericks to continue their lives.

No way, almost every season in January is the month with the lowest network traffic and news topic index in the NBA.

In addition to the fans starting to watch the game tired, the players are not willing to play hard at this time, fearing that things other than strength such as injuries will affect their performance in the second half of the season.

But this year is different. The Eagles defeated the Mavericks, Hornets, and Cavaliers in a row, but they couldn't secure the headlines. The same is true for killing the Pacers by more than 30 points.

Because the competition for the rankings from No. [-] to No. [-] in the Western Conference has entered a fever pitch from the beginning of the new year!Even if the Blazers play a wave of winning streak, they may rush to second place in the Western Conference.

In January, the NBA's attention has risen instead of falling!

There has never been such a fierce competition for rankings in the history of the NBA. This year, the Western Conference may create a miracle that the top nine all win 50 wins, that is, there may be a team with 50 wins that cannot enter the playoffs!

This has never happened before in NBA history.

Facts have proved that it’s not that the fans don’t want to watch the game in January. It’s just that everyone knows that in the games in January, except for those few popular teams who are arranged to meet and play a little more intensely, most of the games will be confrontational.

When it comes to the card game after the All-Star Weekend, the fans will all come back.

In the middle of this season, NBA ratings have not declined, and network traffic has risen instead of falling, which is a good illustration of this point.

On January 1th, the first round of All-Star voting data was announced.

On the second day after the Christmas game between the Eagles and the Lakers, the All-Star voting began. Starting on the 6th, the 17th and 28th, the votes will be announced every 11 days, and the final result will be announced on the 28th.

The enthusiasm of the fans continues, which is also a huge positive for the All-Star voting.

This time, the number of all-star votes in the first stage, 8 stars have exceeded one million votes!
As for the guards in the Western Conference, Kobe and Iverson, the guards of the 96 generation, began to occupy positions just like the double 21 back then.

The votes of the two both broke one million. Kobe won the first championship after O'Neal left, and his popularity continued to rise. With 139 million votes, he ranked first in the Western Conference and is also the leader of the total votes so far.

With 113 million votes, Iverson ranked second in the Western Conference guards and third in the Western Conference.

The only player in the western forward position to break the million mark is Tim Duncan, who has entered his peak again, with 103 million votes.

Anthony ranked second among Western forwards with 79 votes.

At the center position, Yao Ming is unshakeable first, with 125 million votes for the sixth consecutive championship.

There is not much suspense between the Western defenders and centers. Kobe and Iverson are too popular. The third Chris Paul and the fourth Steve Nash combined do not have as many votes as Iverson.

The same is true for Yao Ming at the center position. O'Neal received only 70 votes, only 5 more than Wang Zhizhi.

Duncan's All-Star starter is estimated to be difficult to shake, but Anthony is not stable. Behind him are Carlos Boozer with 75 votes, Josh Smith with 71 votes, Gasol with 63 votes, and Odom with 47 votes.

In the East, except for Liu Mang, no one would have expected that Dwight Howard would be the number one All-Star in the East.

Howard ranks first among Eastern Conference centers with 128 million votes!Even higher than the number of votes of western center Yao Ming!
It's not that Howard is the most popular star in the Eastern Conference, but that he is the most lovable at this stage, smiling like a big kid all day long, which has attracted many people to vote for him.

Kwame Brown is far away from the All-Star starter, with only 61 votes, ranking second among the Eastern Conference centers.

But what is even more unlucky is Milicic, the unlucky kid. The number of votes in the United States is only fourth among the Eastern centers, with only more than 30 votes. Even the Heat's backup center Rasheed Wallace has 6 more votes than him.

Just like Nowitzki, fans think he is great, but not many people vote for him.

Milicic is too simple. When other people, Balloon Star, went to publicize and make money in the summer, he went back to his hometown to help his mother milk the cows, and relied on his fame to help his mother's ranch contact dairy manufacturers to sell milk...

He doesn't have to help his mother farm the land now, and he has money, but the older generation can't do without the land. Milicic helped his mother buy a pasture.

The most powerful dairy farmer among NBA players, if nothing else, is Milicic.

For Eastern Conference forwards, James ranked first with 115 million votes, and Garnett was second with 91 votes.

The storm caused by Garnett last year is much smaller this year. The battle between Garnett and the Bulls management is continuing. One wants a long-term contract, but the team only wants to give a short-term high salary.

The competition for the forwards in the Eastern Conference is also very fierce. The votes of Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Raheem, Pierce, Bosh and Marion are not low.

Especially Grant Hill, with 69 votes ranked fourth among Eastern forwards.

In terms of guards, Liu Mang ranked first with 120 million votes, followed by the Eastern Conference with 113 million votes.

These two are very stable, because the third place is Wade with 85 votes... and the fourth place after that is Carter with only 51 votes, which is already far behind the top three.

Although Carter started to develop towards a more stable style of play two or three years later than in the original time and space, he also did not escape the "out of breath".

Wade didn't know whether it was good luck or not. On December 12th, the league announced the All-Star candidate list. The All-Star players could only choose from there. Wade came back on the 24st. He performed well in the first game of his comeback. The league added him to the list.

In any case, the Eastern All-Star starting guard is the Hawks.

……

There is no doubt that the results of the All-Star voting will also become a factor affecting player motivation.

The competition for the top nine in the West is fierce, which means that the record will not be much worse, and the data of the stars is not too different. The unusually disparate distribution of votes in the first round of the West naturally makes some stars dissatisfied.

Improving the enthusiasm of the players and increasing the highlights that fans can find while watching the game is the reason why the league announces the votes every ten days, otherwise it will be enough to announce the All-Star starters on the 28th.

But...

These things seem to have nothing to do with the Eagles.

The battle from third to fifth in the Eastern Conference and the bloody competition from second to ninth in the Western Conference have nothing to do with the Eagles.

老鹰队1月份的赛程看起来相对艰难，由于10月底加上11月和12月老鹰队就那么四五个强敌，那么剩下的52场比赛强敌自然会多很多。

Just like the first three games played in January, the first game was the Hornets, and the second game was the Cavaliers. They were all opponents who were regarded as popular teams from the beginning of the season.

After playing the three away games that started in January, the Eagles' record became 1 wins and 27 losses. After watching the results of the first All-Star voting on the 6th, the Eagles ushered in the challenge of the Nets that night.

This is the first of five consecutive home games for the Eagles after five consecutive away trips.

In yesterday's game against the Pacers, the Eagles didn't play happily at all. The opponent looked like they were going to catch it without a fight, and the Eagles were too embarrassed to abuse them too much.

This time against the Nets, the players that the Eagles can play are quite motivated.

Said to be able to play... It's very simple, the Eagles have a rest for the second game of back-to-back games.

The coaching staff would never let Wade play the second back-to-back game. The team doctor said that Wade could play without restriction, but the coaching staff was afraid!

It is a miracle that Wade can recover to such a healthy state. Since there are medical records in NBA history, there has never been a situation where he can still have top physical fitness after a cruciate ligament is torn.

This needs to be taken care of even more.

In addition to Wade, McGrady, Kwame Brown, and Marion are also taking turns.

The starting lineup sent by the Eagles for this game is Rondo, Liu Mang, Mason, O'Neal, and Brad Miller.

The Eagles have a second-year player, a superstar, and three bad old men... the strength of their play is really not good.

Rondo is not used to it. When he was partnered with Liu Mang, Marion, Tracy McGrady, and Kwame Brown, the four of them counterattacked and threw them into the air. The four jumped out and dunked. Now only Mason and Liu Mang can do it.

In the first quarter, the Eagles trailed by three points 23 to 26, but they caught up to 50 after halftime. The score was tied in the first half, purely by enthusiasm.

In the second half, the advantage of the Eagles' lineup depth was reflected.

It is true that the Nets are still good. They did not reach the bottom of the Eastern Conference. After sending away the two stars, they got a lot of high-quality role players. When they sent the best lineup, they played on par with the Hawks in the first half.

But as the game progressed, Jason Terry found his feeling in the second half, Scola's inside singles, plus the most stable Liu Mang...

In the third quarter, the Eagles scored 37 to 22 in a single quarter, opening the point difference to 15 points in one fell swoop, making the game lose suspense.

最终，靠着刘莽出场39分钟拿到33分5板9助攻、隆多的11分4板3助攻，贾森-特里的21分和斯科拉的16分，老鹰队四人得分上双，113比99轻松击败篮网队拿到七连胜。

After playing the Nets, on January 1, the Eagles ushered in their second opponent, the Wizards, for five consecutive games.

At present, the seventh Wizards in the Eastern Conference only have a record of 16 wins and 19 losses. Unlike the last time they competed with the Eagles until the last minute, this time the Wizards were defeated by the Eagles early.

Liu Mang played 21 minutes in the first half, scored 17 points, 6 assists and 4 blocks in the half and clocked off work...

McGrady, who came back after a break, was really extraordinary. He hit 5 three-pointers in the first quarter and helped Liu Mang get 4 assists in a single quarter. As a result, in the second and third quarters, McGrady made 6 of 0 three-pointers... The hit rate was down.

Liu Mang felt that McGrady was like this every time, and wanted to continue flirting after a wave of anger, but the results were all very McGrady.

Wade's comeback ensured the continuity of the defense when the lineup was rotated. Although Wade only scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and only 4 assists in [-] minutes of playing, the high-quality defense that the Eagles played around Liu Mang at the beginning continued.

115 to 91, the Eagles defeated the Wizards by 24 points and won 8 consecutive victories!

29 wins and 6 losses!

Win another game, and the Eagles will become the second team in the league to win 30 wins, and win another game, and the Eagles will tie the Spurs' record of nine consecutive victories this season!
