The Pope of Basketball Community

In December, the Lakers continued to make great progress. The "drug combination" plus a group of role players with special skills were unstoppable. No double-teaming, just play with the stars. If the double-teaming is passed out, you will throw three-pointers from the outside.

Odom, Diaw, Ellis, and Damon Jones are recognized as the strongest bench gangsters in the league. They can often suppress the opponent's starting lineup. If these four people are still there during garbage time, the opponent will not dare to replace all the main players. Otherwise, you will be beaten.

This year's Christmas game was the Lakers VS Heat again. The Lakers won 132-97 in an away game, leaving the Heat in total loss.

The addition of Jason Williams and Antoine Walker strengthened the Heat's offense, but the two did not help the team on the defensive end and were even loopholes.

Moreover, the Heat's ball rights are difficult to distribute. Caron Butler only averaged 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. He is an ordinary role player. In Yang Rui's previous life, Butler began to show his star appearance this season.

Butler is in a contract year and it is difficult to get a big contract. If he leaves the Heat, some team will definitely find a treasure.

Yang Rui believes that it will be difficult for the Heat to reach the finals. In their previous life, they were able to win the championship in 2006 purely by luck. There is a lack of competition in the Eastern Conference. As long as they beat the Pistons, they will break through, and they can also suppress the Mavericks lineup. Now, the Bulls are better than the Pistons in the previous life, and it is difficult for the Heat to pass this level.

The Lakers also maintained a complete victory this month. Only the Raptors, Mavericks, and Grizzlies caused trouble for them. After three overtimes, the Lakers had the last laugh.

Kobe won the Player of the Month in December, and his competitor was Yao Ming. In the MVP rankings, their positions were also reversed.

Entering January, the Lakers defeated the mediocre defensive Jazz twice and won 31 consecutive games. Fans around the world were shocked. The Lakers are very much like the Raptors in 1999-2000, with the strength to crush the entire league.

There are many reasons for setting an amazing record. The Lakers had an easy schedule at the beginning, and the league provided certain conveniences. David Stern hopes the Lakers can achieve a good record this season and break the Bulls' record. The Lakers are a wealthy team, while the Raptors are just a young team located in Canada. This important record should be controlled by wealthy families.

But Stern didn't expect the Lakers to be this strong, giving the impression that they were simply invincible.

Fans online commented that they felt that the Lakers' defense of the title was stable, and it affected the balance of the league and made it less competitive.

"The Lakers will definitely break many records this season. They have no opponents at all. The best record is a certainty. This is the most terrifying team in NBA history."

"It won't be 82 consecutive victories in the end, right?"

"The opponents behind are not strong either. They have to win at least 40 consecutive games."

"After this season, the Lakers must disband. Other teams can't play. This is not a game, it is a Lakers show."

The 76ers, Clippers, Pacers, Trail Blazers, Cavaliers, Warriors and other teams were indeed unable to threaten the Lakers and all lost by more than 20 points.

Yao Ming exploded when playing against the Trail Blazers, scoring 44 points, 23 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks. When playing against the Kings, Kobe broke out, scoring 51 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.

Until January 20, the Lakers finally lost back-to-back games, losing to the Suns 108-116, and the winning streak was finally fixed at 39 games.

Some people still questioned the Suns' home advantage in this game, because Yao Ming was troubled by fouls. He only played 23 minutes in the game and had 5 fouls. His 10 points and 7 rebounds were far below average.

Rasheed Wallace also played abnormally, playing 30 minutes, making 2 of 7 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only had 6 points and 3 rebounds.

Kobe became a blacksmith, playing 40 minutes, making 12 of 33 shots, 4 of 12 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, scoring 37 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 4 turnovers.

The Big Three of the Lakers are in a downturn together. This is the first time this season. Even so, they still have a chance to win. Odom scored 15 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, made 7 of 12 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, almost helping the team complete a reversal in the final quarter.

On the Suns side, Nash had 17 points and 12 assists.

O'Neal Jr. had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Marion had 22 points and 16 rebounds, and 6 players on the team scored in double figures. House, the substitute, performed at a superb level and scored 19 points.

After the game, the media and fans were still praising the Lakers for their strength because they always have players who can stand up and perform. If Odom and Mo Williams were given more chances to shoot in this game, they might have won.

The Suns players tried their best, shooting 48.7% overall, 44.4% three-pointers, and 91.7% free throws before grabbing a victory. How many teams in the league can produce such statistics?

After a day of rest, the Lakers returned to their home court and defeated the Raptors. They then had 4 days of rest to recover and defeated the Warriors at home.

The Warriors were impressive for just a month before they showed their true qualities as a bad team. In Yang Rui's previous life, they exchanged Baron Davis from the Hornets, but now they exchanged Steve Francis, and their fate is different. Last season Francis was fine, but this season he was injured after playing 12 games. Fisher became the starter, but his strength was much worse. The team lacked someone to attack with the ball.

Moreover, Monta Ellis, who the Warriors should have selected in the second round, also joined the Lakers.

At the beginning, many people were optimistic that the Warriors would enter the playoffs. After Francis was seriously injured, there was no need to think about this matter. This is inevitable by accident. Francis' playing style is destined to make him prone to injuries. He relies on his body to rush inside, and his shooting has not improved.

On the 29th, the Lakers defeated the Pistons. On the 31st, the Lakers slaughtered the Knicks 140-97, ending January's game.

Phil Jackson is a complete tragedy. The Knicks currently only have a record of 10 wins and 34 losses, ranking last in the Eastern Conference. The first time they lost to the Lakers, it can be said that the run-in was not good. Later, people discovered that the Knicks could lose more than 20 points against a weak team, and their offense was terrible.

In January, the best player in the Western Conference was won by Kobe Bryant. Kobe started to take more shots in December, obviously trying to compete for the MVP. The best player of the month is also a reference for winning the final MVP.

Yao Ming took fewer shots, reduced the number of air cuts to the basket, and increased the number of three-point shots to open up space.

On February 1, the Lakers lost another game, losing to the Pacers 104-107.

The Pacers have formed a trident of Michael Reed, Brad Miller, and Stojakovic this season. Reed and Peja each made 5 three-pointers in this game, and substitute Danny Ge Langie also scored 14 points and 12 rebounds, performing at a superb level.

Kobe became a blacksmith again, making 8 of 24 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He only had 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Once Kobe becomes strong, the game will be difficult to play. Recently, Kobe has become more independent in order to compete for MVP, and his shot selection has also been poor. Yang Rui said that it doesn't work for him and he can freely express himself on the court.

On February 7, the Lakers lost to the Mavericks 107-112 away from home, and on the 15th they lost to the Hawks in overtime at home 110-114.

Star Weekend is here. The Lakers lead the league with 48 wins and 4 losses. This month, Lakers players are starting to feel tired.

Many people, including Yang Rui, are looking forward to the celebrity weekend and want to take a break and have a good rest. If he can't be re-elected as the coach of the All-Star Game, without Yang Rui this time, Popovich of the Spurs will be the coach of the Western Conference.

It doesn't matter if the coach is distracted, he's on the sidelines anyway. When players look forward to a long vacation, their performance on the court is not so good. This is the reason why the Lakers have lost consecutive games this month. No matter how strong the lineup is, they cannot be distracted while playing.

Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant, and Rasheed Wallace couldn't rest. They were selected to the All-Stars together, and Yao Ming became the top vote-getter in the All-Star Game for two consecutive years.

Now not only Chinese fans are voting for Yao Ming, but he has also conquered fans from other countries. The bonus point for blocking Robinson's shot left a fierce impression on people.

However, Yang Rui felt that Yao Ming was not good enough, so he had a private conversation with Yao Ming before going to Houston.
