Standing pretty old

Chapter 547

The regular season in January is all over, and the Eagles continue to occupy the top position in the league with a record of 42 wins and 5 losses. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have been biting them, are somewhat lacking in stamina. Their record is now 36 wins and 9 losses. This is also a commendable performance, but they met the Eagles who played even more crazily, and they could only rank third in the league and second in the Eastern Conference with a slight advantage.

The Celtics and Magic rank third in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the Eastern Conference, and this ranking seems to have been fairly stable since mid-December.

According to the current trend, perhaps by the end of the season, this ranking will not change in any way.

In the West, the Lakers are naturally thriving, with a record of 37 wins and 9 losses, ranking second in the league and first in the West.

The other western powerhouses seem to have continued the fierce competition of last season: the Nuggets, Spurs, Trail Blazers, and Rockets are in the second echelon. It is not yet clear what their final ranking will be.

In terms of individual awards, Erniu won the fifth POM (Player of the Month) trophy in his career, and won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for January.

The best player of the month in the Western Conference was awarded to Kobe Bryant, who led the Lakers to the second place in the league.

The Black Mamba averaged 28.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. Coupled with the team's monthly record of 11 wins and 4 losses, he also deserved his POM trophy.

Even so, since the 08-09 season, no one can deny that the most eye-catching is Ruan Erniu's god-level performance and the unstoppable performance of the Eagles.

In the All-Star voting that just passed, the results of the last round of voting were actually announced on January 1.

As expected by everyone, Ruan Erniu was elected as the All-Star vote leader with a record-breaking 3240238 votes, LeBron James ranked second with 2940823 votes, and the third was won with 2850181 votes Dwight Howard.

But I'm sorry, Sparks still can't be elected as the All-Star starter, because Ruan Erniu, as a center, has more votes than him.

Sparks, who was forced to become a substitute, complained in front of the media: "There is absolutely a problem with the current voting system. I am not questioning that Kraft Nguyen should not get such a number of votes. He does have the qualifications, but his style of play is obviously closer to the PF or SF, he's not a pure center, I should be an All-Star starter with Kraft Nguyen."

The implication and obvious, his position was replaced by a veteran of the Celtics
Garnett, who got 2066833 votes, said with an innocent face: "I didn't make the rules. Dwight complained about these things last year, but the league didn't change the relevant rules, so I can't comment on it."

Garnett pretended to be innocent on the surface, but he might be happy in his heart.

This season, the Magic's strength has been further improved. In the East, it has obviously caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics. The Taurus Garnett will never let go of the opportunity to suppress Howard.

The starting lineups of the East and West were determined in the fastest time.

Eastern side:

C Ruan Erniu

PF Kevin Garnett

SF LeBron James

SG Dwyane Wade
PG Allen Iverson

Head Coach: Mike Woodson

Western side:

C Yao Ming
PF Tim Duncan
SF Amare Stoudemire

SG Kobe Bryant
PG Chris Paul
Head Coach: Phil Jackson

Of course, there are more than ten days before the 2009 All-Star Weekend will be officially held. Therefore, in addition to looking forward to it, the media and fans are still focusing more on the Atlanta Hawks, who have only lost 5 games so far this season. body.

An old-fashioned topic was brought up-can they break the NBA's best season record of 95 wins and 96 losses set by the Bulls in the 72-10 season?
同时期的公牛在1月的截止战绩为39胜3负，但是当他们和鹰队一样打完47场的比赛时的战绩，同样为42胜5负。

Judging from the time record alone, the Hawks have already beaten the Bulls, and from the record of games, the Hawks have also tied with the legendary team.

Countless people are studying why the Eagles can achieve such a great success this season?

So far, the Eagles have never had a losing streak, and the five opponents they lost to are: Cavaliers, Spurs, Mavericks, Rockets, and Magic, all of which are powerful teams with All-Star players.

Of course, the Bulls are actually similar: the Magic, Supersonics, Nuggets, Pacers, and Suns are all powerful teams with All-Star players.

Let’s take a look at the data comparison of the star players of the two teams:

Ruan Erniu VS Michael * Jordan is naturally a set of comparisons that must be discussed:
Erniu's average per game so far is: 33.1 points, 22.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.

And Jordan's average data that year was: 30.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.

Although countless proud Americans don't want to admit it, the fact is that Ruan Erniu has completely blown Michael Jordan in the 95-96 season in terms of statistics.

In terms of second masters:
Joe Johnson vs Scottie Pippen:

Jon Jonson's average data per game is: 18.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists.

Pippen's averages are: 19.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists.

Judging from the data alone, Jon Jonson is still a little weaker than Pippen in terms of rebound protection, but given the existence of Ruan Erniu, a rebounding monster, it seems that Jon Jonson doesn't need to work too hard on rebounds.

In terms of the three masters:
Josh Smith OR Mike Bibby vs Tony Kukoc OR Dennis Rodman:
The average data of the lunar eclipse is: 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists;

Bibby's average data is: 13.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists.

And Kukoc's average data per game is: 13.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists;

Rhode's average data is: 5.5 points, 14.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists.

Well, this group of comparisons is completely incomprehensible, because the personal positions and styles of play are too different, and it is really hard to tell who is more important in the system.

But no matter how those ancient blowers deny it, the Hawks do have the qualifications to be on par with the 72-win Bulls.

Some experts even suggested that the Bulls may not have won 72 wins in the current basketball environment. After all, basketball has been evolving, and the rules and system have undergone great changes.

At the press conference for receiving the POM trophy, Ruan Erniu said frankly: "All the debates are meaningless now. Of course I understand the significance of 72 wins, but what I want to say is that the ultimate goal of everything must serve us. Successfully defended.

If we break the record of 72 wins and we don't win the championship, then everything will be meaningless. "

It's hard to imagine that a 20-year-old superstar can treat his achievements so calmly, but no one can know whether Ruan Erniu said so, whether he thinks so in his heart.

Moreover, even if he really thought so, whether he would be immune to his teammates' reputation in history would become a big question.

Defending the title is already a difficult thing, and now the goals and requirements of the record are added, which undoubtedly makes the Atlanta Hawks' road to defending the title even more difficult.

After a training session, Ruan Erniu found the head coach. He said to Woodson worriedly: "I think it's very troublesome now. Those guys are discussing the issue of 72 wins. They obviously forgot that the success of defending the title is the first. One."

But Woodson wiped his shiny forehead and asked, "Haven't you thought about it?"

Ruan Erniu secretly said: "Not good!"

Unexpectedly, the fat egghead was also tempted!
