Super Lord of the Rings

The Kings are playing well, everyone in the Western Conference is in danger, and the free market is very active.

There are only a few teams that can compete with the Kings, and the strength of the East and the West is seriously unbalanced.

When Wang Jun and James were there, the top players in the East were not inferior to the West. After Wang Jun retired and left the Bulls, the strength of the Eastern Conference has dropped again and again. It has been so miserable that even the 12 All-Stars can hardly make up.

This pattern has become more serious this season. NBA President David Stern convened a meeting of the management and proposed to try to reform the playoffs, allowing the 16 teams with the best record to advance to the playoffs instead of the existing top eight in the East and West.

This will make the competition more intense, but as soon as the idea is put forward, it encounters a lot of resistance. The Eastern team is the biggest opponent, because the weak Eastern team will greatly reduce their status in the playoffs.

The bosses all want to make more money. Now because of labor issues, the NBA may be suspended next season. Of course, there is no way to change the system.

It is a helpless move for Stern to bring up this topic. With the trend of elites concentrating in the West, it is time to take some measures to ensure the balanced development of the NBA. In fact, the NBA has always been lacking in competitiveness. Not the best teams enter the top 16, and there is no relegation, which allows bad teams to play badly.

If there is not enough competition, it is impossible to attract fans to a greater extent, and it is not easy to make money.

Both the Thunder and the Blazers have completed big deals.

The Blazers star swingman Brandon Roy was reduced to a role player due to a knee injury, and the inside core Al Horford was reimbursed for the season due to a complete torn chest muscle. The Blazers can only do poorly this season.

In the past season, Roy suffered from the pain of lack of cartilage in his knees.

The meniscus is the cartilage between the two bones of the knee, which serves as a buffer for bone collisions and a protective film that prevents direct collisions between the leg bones. Due to the injury, the cartilage of Roy's two knees has been worn out. In order to return to the game, he has undergone two large-scale operations on his knees, but the recovery situation is not ideal.

The doctor warned him that if he continued his professional career, he was likely to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. It is already a miracle that Roy can still play this season.

The Blazers sent backup swingman Rudy Fernandez and fringe point guard Patrick Mills to the Thunder for starting center Nenad Kostic.

This is a win-win deal. Ibaka has improved significantly this season and has excellent defense. It is better to partner with LaMarcus Aldridge inside. Krstic's position is very awkward.

Sent to the Trail Blazers, he can play the starting center,

If the data is good, it is possible to compete for a big contract in the coming year. Thunder sending him away can train young insider Cole Aldridge.

In addition, the Thunder also acquired two role players to make up for the lack of offensive ability of the bench lineup. Before the second quarter, no one led the offense. Fernandez's shooting percentage is not high, but he has the ability to attack with the ball.

The Thunder has become the biggest dark horse this season, ranking second in the Western Conference, second only to the Kings.

Their tactics are relatively old-fashioned. Both insiders can pull out to shoot, creating space for stars to play singles.

Westbrook, Durant, and Aldridge all played star data, but they lacked stability and their shot selection was poor.

The top four in the West are the Kings, Thunder, Mavericks, and Spurs. The Lakers only ranked fifth, which is surprising.

The Grizzlies are sixth, with a lineup similar to the Thunder's, with a group of young people at the core, with strong impact and energy.

The Nuggets and Hornets ranked 7th and 8th respectively. The Rockets Kaman was injured and the inside defense was poor. They ranked ninth, and they were hanging half-dead.

The monsters in the Western Conference are dancing wildly, and the pressure of competition is too great. The Nuggets don't think there is any hope of winning the championship.

The Nuggets, Knicks, and Timberwolves also made a three-way deal.

The Knicks got Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter, Corey Brewer, Sheldon Williams.

The Nuggets got Pike Udo, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Costa Koufus, Villanueva.

The Timberwolves got two insiders, Anthony Randolph and Eddie Curry.

The Knicks didn't hurt their bones at all. After sending out a few rookies and bad contracts, they were replaced by the two Nuggets stars. It is impossible without anyone manipulating them behind the scenes.

The Knicks formed a Big Three lineup of Billups, Anthony, and Stoudemire, which is very competitive in the East. The Knicks will definitely have to pay more luxury taxes, and owner James Dolan won't care about it.

The Nuggets have got four excellent rookies. Villanueva can open up space and shoot three-pointers, and he can play in the system, which is not bad.

Afflalo in the team is very young and a good 3D player. The young point guard Ty Lawson is getting better and better. Letting him play is also the reason for sending Billups away.

As long as Kenyon Martin's contract expires in the summer and get rid of this super-package that has plagued the team for a long time, the Nuggets have sufficient salary space to sign and sign, and have a bright future next season.

As for the Timberwolves, how can this be reconstruction? Obviously it is to help the Knicks clean up bad contracts. Curry has become so fat that he can't play at all. He has no value except for his 11-year expiring contract. Randolph Jr. is also poor and has no effect on the offensive end.

If there is no shady scene, the Timberwolves' David Kahn must be the stupidest manager in the league. He has not done a good thing since he took office in 2009.

Relying on several drafts and the performance of rookies, the Nets are temporarily still ranked above the Knicks, fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The media has stepped up the promotion of the two teams, and specifically mentioned that the Nets are going to take the arena to Brooklyn. This is the team that the league is going to hold to compete with the Kings.

The Nets haven't traded yet, and the unexpected joy is that the team's insider Chris Humphries averaged 10 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, and became a double-double player from the bench, pushing Favors to the bench.

The current goal of the management is to strive for a super point guard. At present, Harden and Harris have mediocre organizational skills. At present, the prospects of the Nets are generally favored by experts.

In December, the best player of the month was selected, and the best player in the Western Conference was selected between Wang Jun and James. Even Durant's record could not be compared with them.

Relying on his super performance of 91 points in a single game, Wang Jun won the best of the month in the West, and the Bucks' Derrick Rose in the East.

Wang Jun's data is significantly better than James, averaging 32.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2 steals per game.

James is more comprehensive, with 24.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 9.4 assists. As a forward, he often plays power forward. His assists rank fifth in the league, which can be called abnormal.

Even so, James still didn't do his best. He didn't play enough time, otherwise he would compete for the assists king. He does too many things, and he can't focus on assists like Rondo.

Wang Jun's statistics are mainly scoring, and he defines himself as a scorer. He thought less, and went to the extreme in one way. The comparison between him and James proves that omnipotence is not necessarily better than a person with one trick.

In the regular season MVP rankings, Wang Jun ranked first without any suspense, followed by Derek Rose of the Bucks, and James only ranked third.

There is no dispute as to which of the two kings is stronger.
