NBA: No. 1 Forward

The team with a serious decline in record is the Portland Trail Blazers. Their head star Huang Mamba Brandon Royin suffered a knee injury relapse against the Dallas Mavericks on December 17 and has been absent from the game.

And just today, December 31, the Portland Trail Blazers announced that Brandon Royin will be "indefinitely truce" due to knee soreness.

For Brandon Luo Yin, Lian Dao is also very sorry.

A healthy Luo Yin is an all-around fighter, but Lian Dao knows that this season will be Brandon Luo Yin's last solo dance in the league.

This season, Brandon Royin had his menisci removed from both knees, but his legs could no longer jump up. In this way, the second guard in the Western Conference and Kobe's successor, who was once recognized by the league, became God's best player. Jealous genius.

For Luo Yin, the biggest enemy in his career is injury, which should have been the peak age, but unfortunately everything was ruined by injury.

Historically, Brandon Luo Yin chose to come back to join the Timberwolves after retiring in 2011, but he only played 5 games and played 122 minutes before completely ending his NBA career.

There are regrets and unwillingness, but after all, they are still no match for the arrangement of fate. At the age of 28, he was an age with great achievements and calling the wind and rain; at the age of 28, he should have been a promising assassin in Portland when he was in danger; at the age of 28, Brandon Royin chose to compromise and choose to reconcile with life.

In addition, this season's Western Conference is still the field of Shura. From the top eight rankings in the division, it can be seen that the thousands of rankings in the Western Division are all positive records, while in the East, the Pacers and 76ers who are in negative records unexpectedly Able to break into the top eight rankings in the Eastern Conference.

The two most surprising teams in the first half of the season according to ESPN are neither the Thunder nor the Bulls, but the Spurs and the Knicks. The two No. 1 teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences can play so well. than everyone expected.

Although the Knicks rank first in the league, they are only one game ahead of the Spurs. So far, the two teams with the No. 1 records in the East and West have not played against each other, but it will soon. In the January schedule, these two teams will play against each other at home and away.

Of course, the game between the Knicks and the Spurs has also attracted the attention of many people. It is estimated that no one wants to miss the match between the top two teams in the league.

With the Knicks defeating the Magic, they also drew a fairly perfect end to 2010.

Entering 2011, after the Knicks returned home, the first game of the new year was against the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers this season have not changed much compared to last season. They have only traded once this season so far. The Indiana Pacers sent away Troyon Murphy, an inside player this summer, and then traded from three parties Among them, the trade came point guard Darren Collison and 34-year-old veteran James Posey.

Oh, and there is the rookie player Paul George they selected in the first round of the draft at the tenth position. Paul George with the lower limit of the template and the upper limit of Granger's Paul George has not yet achieved the reputation of "General Joe" in later generations. The Pacers have Danny Granger, the starting small forward, exists, and the rookie Paul George also started as a substitute at the 2nd position.

Moreover, Paul George, who was not good at handling in his rookie season, is positioned as "3D" in the Pacers.

The Pacers played best in this game was Darren Collison, who played 31 minutes and 40 seconds and scored 22 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

But that's all. Danny Granger only scored 12 points and 7 rebounds against Lian Dao's defense in this game, while Lian Dao scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists in this game. In the game, Lian Dao completely defeated Danny Granger.

Stoudemire also performed well in this game, with 26 points and 8 rebounds. When Lian Dao and Stoudemire formed a pick-and-roll cooperation, the Knicks seemed to become a **** of war with both offense and defense.

At 105:83, the Knicks easily defeated the Pacers and won 5 consecutive victories.

But at the same time, the San Antonio Spurs also defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder at home! Tony Parker scored 14 points and 10 assists, and Tim Duncan scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. In this game, the Spurs sent out iron and blood defense and maintained the lead.

In this game, although the Spurs' "demon knife" did not come out of the sheath, Ginobili also scored 9 points and 7 assists.

After killing the Thunder's three young men known as the "Western Guards", the Spurs also won four consecutive victories, and the media and fans are increasingly looking forward to the meeting between the Knicks and the Spurs.

And on January 4, the two teams will meet for the first time this season.

"No. 1 in the East VS No. 1 in the West, who is the ultimate winner?"

"The strongest confrontation between east and west!"

"..."

As the game approached, the media continued to create momentum to attract attention, and at the same time attracted more attention to the game.

In fact, the traffic brought by the attention of the first duel between the East and the West does not require media publicity at all.

The game was set to be broadcast live across the United States by the league.

For this game, the Spurs also attach great importance to it, because this year is the first year that their offensive core has shifted to the perimeter, and the Knicks' perimeter this season is also known as the "bronze wall".

This game was also designated by Popovich as a game to test the core quality of the Spurs' outside offense.

Since the Spurs got the NCAA No. 1 college student Duncan in the 96-97 season, they have been building a championship lineup around Duncan.

Although the owner of the Spurs has been digging and searching, he has never been willing to spend money to bring in big-name players.

But Deng Dada was too upbeat. He played poorly in the core of the year's draft and brought four championships to the Spurs.

Although they did not establish a dynasty, in the hearts of many fans, in the Western Conference after 2000, the playoffs were almost a duo between the Spurs and the Lakers. Even if other teams made it to the Western Conference Finals, they only occasionally made it once or twice.

But after being swept out by the Suns 4:0 in the playoffs last season, the Spurs really understood that Duncan was old. Although the Spurs fans still didn't want to admit it, but judging from their performance in the playoffs, the 34-year-old Duncan did come. To the end of his career.

Regardless of whether the Spurs are willing to admit it or not, we can know from last season's game that the league's tactics for the Spurs and Duncan have been thoroughly studied.

The powerful first power forward in the past has often become a defensive loophole for the Spurs.

So at the end of last season, there are only two ways before the Spurs: Either the Spurs change their tactics with Duncan as the core, or the Spurs introduce players to find better helpers for Duncan.

The second one was directly passed by the Spurs management, because before the start of last season, the Spurs introduced players such as Richard Jefferson and Mike Davis, but last season the Spurs were in the playoffs 4 :0 was eliminated.

Then there is only one way before the Spurs, and that is to change the core of the team's offense, and Parker, who has reached the peak of his career in these two seasons, has become Popovich's primary candidate.

Judging from the current record of No. 2 in the Western Conference No. 1 league, their change is successful, but how far they can go in the playoffs will be verified through this season's games.

As the league's No. 1 Knicks, it is naturally one of the teams that the Spurs have verified their lineup tactics, and it is also one of the teams that the Spurs most want to beat.

In order to interfere with the psychological state of the Knicks players, Popovich also used some small means off the court.

This kind of off-board trick is not unusual for Popovich.

When the game between the two teams was approaching, when Popovich participated in the press conference, he also frequently pointed out Knicks players.

For example: The reason why the Knicks maintain the first record in the league~www.innread.com~ is entirely due to the strength of Lian Dao...

For example: Although Stoudemire is excellent, he can only be the second head of the team. If the leading star is replaced by Stoudemire, he will never be able to lead the Knicks to defeat the Heat!

For example: Millsap is just a tool man, and with the arrival of Stoudemire this season, he was quickly marginalized.

for example:…

The intention of Popovich's words is obvious. To sow discord is to cause conflicts within the Knicks, even if there is a gap in their hearts.

Although Lian Dao didn't care about what Popovich said at all, other Knicks players didn't know if they cared about Lian Dao.

Millsap can go from the second-round pick to his current position. If his brain is not smart enough, he would have sunk in the Jazz long ago. He also knows Popovich's intentions.

When interviewed by the media, he also outspokenly pointed out Popovich's despicable behavior.
