    In the first thirty games of this season, there were fewer injuries than last season. Due to the experience of the shortened season, each team has at least 14 players. Many teams have made up a 15-man roster to prevent player injuries.

    Some big things happened during this time.  Former Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni joined the Los Angeles Lakers.  This is the biggest coach they can hire, and he signed a four-year contract.  D'Antoni vowed that he is confident that the Lakers will perform well and compete for the championship.  After a few games, it turned out that they were aiming for the No. 1 pick. Now their record ranks fourth from the bottom in the Western Conference. Only the Kings, Timberwolves, and Suns are worse than them.  .

    After a month of maturity, Kobe saw that his team's record was rubbish and it was difficult to even make it to the playoffs, so he began to press for a trade again.  This time, boss Buss and manager Kupchak were annoyed.  When he was about to be traded, he refused to leave. Now that Paul and Bynum have been sent away, Kobe starts to make noises about being traded again. Isn't this causing trouble?

    The Lakers uniform staff asked Kobe where he wanted to go, and they sent him wherever he wanted to go without keeping him. They also told him clearly that they would not renew his contract after it expired, even if Kobe wanted a minimum salary.  This time it was Kobe and the front office who had a conflict.

    Now Kobe¡¯s commercial value is falling again and again. Los Angeles and even the United States are fans of Ye Feng. In comparison, Kobe is more like a negative example of scoring points in the regular season and forging in the finals.  In this case, he was no longer for sale. As soon as he heard Kobe's request to be traded, the Lakers front office immediately put it on the shelf.

    "It's a pity that this time, there are not many teams that want Kobe, and even none that have the chance to advance to the championship.  tn*t commentator Barkley unceremoniously mocked Kobe, saying that if any team gets him, just like when the Pistons got Iverson, bolder teams can give it a try.

    With such a prediction, who would dare to spend a big chip to exchange for Kobe?  The teams that want him all want to use his popularity to attract the sluggish ball market, and they don't think about the championship.  The only team that wants Kobe and is likely to make the playoffs is the Bulls.  But Kobe unceremoniously rejected the Bulls, thinking they were too bad.  Bulls fans are also offended.  A Chicago basketball expert wrote: "The Bulls don't need Kobe. Now the Hawks have the most salary space. It is recommended that they trade Joe Johnson for Kobe and let Kobe be the Eagle King. That is the most suitable nickname for him."

    Of course Kobe will not be the Eagle King, so he changed his tune and decided to stay with the Lakers. This farce left the Lakers completely helpless.  Kobe hopes that the earth revolves around him, but unfortunately he is not the sun.  Now it's more like Halley's Comet.

    The Rockets have risen, ranking sixth in the Western Conference.  oj. Mayo took on the task of scoring from the outside, averaging 21.4 points, 4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1 steal per game.  The shooting percentage was 47.5% and the three-point shooting percentage was 55.3%.  He developed a strong three-point ability in the Heat.  The offense is mainly about outside shooting.  Kevin Martin has become a substitute and can also bring vitality to the second team.

    The Rockets are also very good inside, with Zach Randolph averaging 16.7 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.  Asik, who was poached from the Bulls, is also a super blue-collar player, averaging 9.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.

    The Rockets' biggest weakness is the No. 1 position. Veteran Baron Davis joined the Rockets as a free agent this season and occupies the starting position. This year's first-round pick Tony Wroten's playing time is also guaranteed, and there is also backup Jeremy Lin.   This lineup should be able to make it to the playoffs, but there is no chance of going too far. First, the substitutes are poor.  Second, because of being stingy, the Rockets let go of Dragic, who performed well last season, without changing his true character.

    Thunder Twins¡¯ Derrick Rose is seriously injured and is out for the season.

    Last season, Rose suffered multiple injuries, but they were not serious. He did not be careful because of this.  Rose missed a total of 9 games in the previous seasons. The most serious injury was a sprained left wrist in a game against the Nuggets in the 2009-2010 season and missed 4 games.

    This time, Rose suffered a torn knee ligament, a serious injury that can ruin a player's career.  The "self-inflicted" style of play is the root cause of Rose's injury.  His inside attack ratio is a career record, and his tough style of play is both a blessing and a curse.  This style of play can indeed cause maximum damage to the opponent, but the downside is that sudden changes in direction during rapid dribbling can also cause maximum damage to ankles and knees.

    An outside player with an extremely tough style and extremely lethal offensive methods, having Rose may be a blessing for the Thunder, but for Rose himself, such a style of play lurks great dangers.

    Ross is reimbursed for serious injuries, according to the analysis of ESPN experts.  The Thunder have no chance of winning the championship this season. Durant can only lead the team past the first round, and Marshawn Brook becomes the starter. His scoring data has improved, but his organizational ability cannot compare with Rose.

    Rose¡¯s tragedy has once again reminded players who like breakthroughs, especially Westbrook, who has a similar style to him.  Wade and Kobe have both transformed. It is a general trend in basketball development for guards to rely mainly on jump shots to score.

    This season¡¯s most excitingPeople pay attention to the rookies.  The quality of the 2012 rookie class is much higher than the previous class.

    Last year¡¯s rookies didn¡¯t have many players who played at a star level.  Derrick Williams, who was originally expected to be the second overall pick of the Timberwolves, shot only 37.9% from the field this season and scored 9.2 points.  Ens Kanter is even worse. He did not perform well in the Jazz. It is difficult to get a chance to play among the three big insiders of Jefferson, Millsap, and Okur. He averaged 4.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

    Except for No. 1 pick Kyrie Irving, DeMarcus Cousins, Kawhi Leonard, and Brandon Knight, the 2011 lottery picks were all substitutes for their respective teams, or even marginalized.  people.

    As for players outside the lottery, the situation is even worse. Nuggets Kenneth Faried and Oklahoma City Thunder Marshawn Brooks performed well, and many people left n early

    a.

    The only second-round picks that caught people's attention were Chandler Patterson, who was transferred to the Heat, and Kyle Singler, the Pistons' 33rd second-round pick. Singler was a senior at Duke University and had  Known as another Bird's successor, he was the No. 1 small forward in the United States in 2007.

    Since the summer of 2011n

    A was suspended. Singler did not join the Pistons but went to play in an overseas league. Now he has returned to n

    a.  He is a very good shooter, averaging 10.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 25 minutes per game, shooting 50.4% from the field and 44.4% from three-point range.  This season, the Pistons have the lowest record under the leadership of the cancerous Stuckey, but Singler is very efficient. The Pistons coaching staff also saw this and gave him more time. The Pistons won the first time when he entered  Starting lineup.

    This year¡¯s rookies are much better. Among the top ten rookies, only the Hornets¡¯ Austin Rivers performed unsatisfactorily. The others all played well in their respective teams.  In particular, No. 1 pick Anthony Davis performed the best. As long as he was not injured, he locked up the Rookie of the Year position early.

    On January 2, the Clippers¡¯ home opponent was the rebuilt New Orleans Hornets.  The Hornets are now ranked eighth in the Western Conference and have become a dark horse this year in the playoffs.

    Starting point guard Mike Conley averaged 15.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2 steals per game, shooting 48.8% from the field and 39.1% from three-point range.  Conley has become a star this season.

    Substitute Greivis Vasquez is also very capable. He is a combo guard. He has a good body shape as a point guard, but his defense is weak and his athletic ability is limited. What is commendable is that Vasquez was able to show it in his rookie season.  His excellent passing ability, in terms of pure ball possession rate, can surpass the top two-thirds of point guards in the league.  The Hornets have the advantage against the Clippers at No. 1.

    Shooting guard Austin Rivers.  Before the start of the season, he was touted as a strong contender for the Rookie of the Year and Kobe Bryant's successor. As a result, he scored 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 30.7 minutes of playing time, shooting 35.8% from the field and 27.7% from the three-point field.  The most frightening thing is that he dares to take shots even though he is not accurate. He tries again and again if he fails to score.  Clippers rookie Harrison Barnes averages 11.3 points per game, which is much better than Rivers.

    The starting small forward Hakeem Warrick has strong athletic ability, excellent wingspan, and weak outside shooting ability.  Substitutes Bobby Simmons and Michael Pietrus are both marginal players that no one wants.  This is the shortcoming of the Hornets.  Just relying on the weakness of positions 2 and 3, it is impossible for the Hornets to defeat the Clippers.

    Starting power forward No. 1 pick Anthony Davis.  He has dominant shot-blocking and rebounding abilities, a long wingspan, and excellent mobility.  Played 35.4 minutes, 19.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.8 blocks.  Aside from the need to put on some muscle, there are few other shortcomings that people can find about Davis.  Even the score is close to 20+, which is unexpected.  His defensive ability is so good and he has enough shooting skills that it will be extremely disappointing if he does not make the All-Star Game this season.  Although it is his rookie season, he will not be at a disadvantage against Pau Gasol.

    Center Robin Lopez, standard blue-collar, pseudo-starter.  The offense is poor, but his size on the defensive end will have a good deterrent effect, but his slow speed is very deadly. Among all centers last season, his defensive rebounds ranked only fourth from the bottom, and his excessive number of fouls was  He became the biggest stumbling block in the starting lineup.  If he screens high, he can choose to let it go.

    Another important offensive weapon of the Hornets is substitute insider Ryan Anderson, last season's most improved player, a slow but aggressive power forward with deadly three-point shooting ability and quick release.  Poor offense with the ball, almost unable to break away from the defense.  He is actually equivalent to a poor version of Nowitzki, able to use the limited number of shots to score as many points as possible, thereby giving more remaining opportunities to his teammates, allowing them to also have the opportunity to score.  The defensive ability is average and there are almost no blocks.  This season, he averaged 16.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.

    In addition, the Hornets' substitutes are not too strong, including Xavier Henry, Roger Mason, Darius Miller, Lance Thomas, etc. These people will not play a lot of playing time and mainly rely on 10-man rotation.

    There is not much suspense about the outcome of this game, butIt has attracted attention and was broadcast live on ESPN. Because the Hornets have obvious weaknesses, Ye Feng is likely to score!
