Chapter 616 This month belongs to Chinese players (30)

Apart from
blue.

For many players, teams, and cities, December is a melancholy blue.

Lakers, Raptors, Magic...

O'Neal, Carter, and Hill's injuries and retirements were accompanied by a sharp decline in their record.

After all, it is difficult to lead a team with a single core, and it is difficult to support a team alone.

The Magic lacked Hill, and McGrady returned to the single-core leadership mode.He scored a lot personally, and he is currently ranked as a helper in the scoring list. However, the Magic's record is not good.

They slipped down from the original No. [-] in the East.

In 12 games in December, McGrady led the team to a poor record of 13 wins and 4 losses.

Of course, their rankings are still safe.

With a record of 14-16, they are ranked 6th in the Eastern Conference.

Without Carter, the Raptors lack a backbone.

They slipped from the original No. 4 in the East to No. 8 in the East, with a record of only 12-18.

Of course, the eighth place is attributable to being in the east, otherwise they would definitely be ranked last.

However, the Lakers in the West are miserable.

Without O'Neal on the court, the Lakers can only rely on the young Kobe to lead the team with a single core.

Now that the alliance's defense is legalized, Kobe has suffered a lot.

Kobe personally scored a lot of points, but the record of the Lakers is not good.In the Christmas game, Kobe also scored against Jordan. He scored 50 points and indeed defeated Jordan's 40 points, but the Lakers lost to the weak Eastern Conference Wizards in the Christmas game.

The Lakers went directly from No. 5 in the West at the beginning of the month, and now they have slipped directly to No. 11 in the West, which can also be said to be No. 4 in the West.

Their current record is only 11-19, which can be said to be terrible.

Kobe's single-core leadership failed to achieve satisfactory results for the fans, and he was questioned by some media people for this reason.

"What's the use of Kobe averaging 36 points per game? Isn't it a bad record of 3-10."

"The OK combination is actually only 'O'!"

"Without Shaq, this Lakers team is nothing."

"Even the Clippers are ahead of the Lakers, what a shame!"

"Every year is the most hopeful to win the championship, and every year is a dream shattered. I think, it won't be long before the Lakers will rebuild."

"Who will the rebuilding Lakers choose to keep? The answer is self-evident."

For a team with good expectations but a poor record, everyone is naturally disappointed and sad.

However, that is a small part after all.

As far as the entire league is concerned, this December is still a thriving situation.

Especially the few teams in the vanguard played very eye-catching.

Mavericks, Kings, Nuggets, Spurs.

The current record of the four teams is world-leading in the league,

Mavericks (26-4)

Kings (25-5)

Nuggets (25-5)

Spurs (24-6)

The fourth-ranked Spurs have 18 more wins than the 12-6 of the fifth-ranked Nets in the league.

Mavericks, Kings.The pizza of the three Nuggets teams is the most popular.

The Nash + Duncan + Anderson Trident of the Mavericks, Webber of the Kings, and Li Nan of the Nuggets are the hottest players this month and the most popular players among the audience.

This December, the Mavericks Trident's record is world-leading in the league, and the combined average of "75 points, 20 rebounds, and 20 assists" by the three is also amazing in the league.

Webber averaged 24 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists per game. The gorgeous games played by him and his teammates have been the most popular games in the league for several years in a row.

Li Nan averaged 30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game this month. The drop in scoring was because Li Nan passed a few more balls.But he has more assists, but his scoring efficiency has actually increased, and the Nuggets' offense has become more beautiful.

Although the Spurs have a good record, they are lacking in viewing. Their games are not as attractive as those of the Nets.

In addition to these teams and their star players, there are still a few people who have performed very well this month.

They are the boys from China.

The Wizards, who were "bullied" a bit miserably in November, finally recovered this month.

How did the Wizards slow down?
Here is our Liu Wei's credit.

.

Since last month, the Wizards coaching staff has been trying to adjust the starting point guard.

Miller, Bobby Jackson, Liu Wei, Jordan, Stackhouse, all five are on the test list of point guards.

All five have tried in official games and scrims.

Andre Miller's problem is too obvious. He organizes the pass well and has a good overall view.

However, he has a big problem, shooting!

In the game, Miller is often emptied by opponents, and even when Miller dribbles in a high position, there is no one within 2 meters.

This is all because of the World Championships, and Miller's shooting weakness was also exposed to the whole world. Almost everyone in the world knows that Miller's shooting is terrible.

The Wizards would lose before, except for Jordan's poor state, Miller also has a lot to do with it.

Bobby Jackson.

He was the starting point guard and he messed up the starting lineup.Not only can you not score points, but your teammates can't score points either.It completely erased the characteristics of his assault player.

stackhouse.

Stackhouse is a shooting guard himself, and the point guard position is difficult for him.When he was in the 76ers, he tried to play point guard, but after so many years, he still couldn't make achievements in the No. 1 position.

After he played the starting point guard, he scored a lot of points himself, but Jordan was running back and forth on the court, unable to touch the ball at all.If the core players can't touch the ball, the point guard can't do it.

Jordan.

He's pretty good at point guard.It is indeed a good combination to arrange Stackhouse at the shooting guard position and the cooperation of the two North Carolina brothers.

It's just that such a Wizards team can't win.

Defense!
With Jordan and Stackhouse together, the Wizards' perimeter defense can only look at Pippen.

Pippen's old legs are like running to waste every game.

Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was originally a point guard, and he dared to fight on the court.He is the most selfless point guard among all of them, and he can make open shots, his personal offense can break through, and he can distribute the ball very well for the whole team!
After he came on the court, the Wizards' offense was miraculously smooth.

Both Yao Liang and Jordan can get the ball they deserve.Especially Yao Liang, after Liu Wei came up, Yao Liang's offense was much more comfortable.

Yao Liang and Jordan are playing comfortably, and the Wizards are starting to win.

In the end, head coach Doug Collins made the decision: "It's you!"

Since Liu Wei became the starting guard in early December, the Wizards have slowly started to win.

In the Christmas game against the Lakers, Liu Wei even scored a double-double of 14 points and 10 assists, which was amazing.

There were a total of 12 games in December, and they finally won 13 wins and 7 losses.

It's not amazing, but it's enough to get the Wizards back into playoff contention.

Their overall record has changed from 6-11 at the beginning of the month to 13 wins and 17 losses. They are currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, surpassing the Raptors.

In these 13 games, Liu Wei averaged 8.2 shots, 4.4 goals, 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.2 steals, 53.7% shooting, 41.4% three-pointers, and 82.2% free throws.

Yao Liang averaged 18 shots and hit 11 goals, 28.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 3.5 blocks, shooting 61.1%, three-pointers 39.4%, free throws 86.5%
Yao Liang and Liu Wei also became stars in Washington, and they were the heroes who saved the Wizards.In Washington, no one did not praise them both.
