NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

Two weeks after the All-Stars weekend, the winners of the Player of the Week in the East and West are"freshly released"! The Player of the Week in the East for the two weeks is the same person, that is, the South Coast superstar LeBron James, who led the Heat to six consecutive wins after the All-Stars Game and has led the Heat to 14 consecutive wins! After the All-Stars Game, the Heat seemed to have fallen into the"injury wave" in the middle and late stages of the season, and veterans such as Ray Allen and Lewis were absent due to injuries. During this period, the emperor"alone" took the lead in the charge of the Heat, followed by Wade, Bosh and other younger brothers. The Big Three led the Heat to lead the league with an average score of 66.25 points per game. During this period, the emperor was selected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the two weeks with weekly averages of"32+6+8" and"29+7+10" respectively! It is worth mentioning that before this, the emperor had won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for three consecutive months. (Trivia: The deputy GOAT won all the monthly awards in the Eastern Conference during the regular season of the 2012-2013 season...) In contrast, the three best awards in the Western Conference were shared by 58-pointers, Kevin Durant and... the Rockets'"new king" James Harden. It's understandable that the first two Western Conference players won the award, but what about Deng Zi, who just joined the Rockets? In fact, Deng Zi in January was really the best performing player in the Western Conference...no one else! As of January 9, when the Rockets defeated the Lakers 125:112 in Los Angeles, James Harden had scored 25+ points in 13 consecutive games, tying the team's scoring record held by the team's legendary center Moses Malone. Then on January 10, in the away game against the Hornets, James Harden scored 25 points, raising this team record to 14 games, surpassing the team's legendary center. (I also watched the replay of this game. In the fourth quarter, with the help of coach McHale, Deng Zi scored a three-pointer. Then he was called for a timeout and was replaced. This wave can be regarded as"starting and ending"). On January 22, the Rockets played against the Dallas Mavericks at home. Deng Zi started and scored 21 points, increasing his consecutive games of scoring 20+ to 22, creating a Rockets history. The Rockets also achieved a record of 11 wins and 6 losses throughout January. Under Harden's leadership, they once reached the seventh place in the Western Conference. Deng Zi also won the Western Conference Player of the Week for two weeks in January. Finally, in the list of Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month released by the league on February 4, he was elected as the Western Conference Player of the Month in January with an average of 25.8 points, 7.1 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game. It is worth mentioning that Harden also won the first triple-double of his career in the game against the Bobcats at the Toyota Center on the day of the award. (21+11+11) Deng Zi also took advantage of this"east wind" and successfully made the Western Conference All-Star reserve lineup. The Player of the Week in the first week after the All-Star Game was also awarded to Harden, who led the Rockets to three consecutive wins. This week, Harden already had some shadows of the"King of Porcelain" in later generations. In the three games against the Thunder, Wizards and Clippers after the All-Star Weekend, he averaged 33.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. In the game against the Bobcats on February 21, he went crazy in front of his eldest and second brothers and made seven three-pointers, scoring a career-high 46 points in the game, leading the Rockets to a home victory over the second-ranked Thunder in the West, completing his"revenge battle"! Durant also logged on to his own account after the game and liked a post on YouTube in which a netizen angrily criticized Presti for"you ruined a dynasty." On the second day of this game, John Wall, the head guard of the Eastern Washington Wizards, challenged the Miami Heat away, and the South Coast Little Emperor scored"40+" against each other, scoring 43 points and 47 points respectively. In the end, the Miami Big Three, who scored 89 points in total, defeated the visiting Washington Wizards after an overtime. It is worth mentioning that the Wizards, who did not make the playoffs this season, will make the playoffs next season with the fifth place in the Eastern Conference. After years of playing badly and hoarding a large number of"potential stocks", the Wizards management has finally harvested the harvest. In the West, the Spurs shocked the entire league with the"Princeton System" in the first game after the All-Star Weekend. But"old man talks about the youth's madness", Duncan, who scored"44+16" in that game , became the biggest winner. The day after leading the team to defeat the Kings, the 37-year-old Duncan was on the hot search of the MiLijia basketball circle, and after"many years", he appeared again in the top five of the regular season MVP prediction list of TNT and ESPN MiLijia's major authoritative sports media. When major basketball commentators and experts exclaimed that"the terrifying low-post unsolvable killer at the beginning of the century" was about to come back, two days later, Duncan answered them with a"14+12" game - the Spurs are still the familiar Spurs, but Duncan is no longer the hard-hitting one back then.

"OK"The combination of the"double Wallace" and the"No. 21 rookie" who led the team to win the O'Brien Cup...

The"baby-faced killer" from Oakland in the West was unwilling to be lonely when he saw many predecessors"standing out in front"; less than a week after the challenge to the Spurs on February 22, the"Splash Brothers" blew up Madison Square Garden in New York, and Curry played the most representative game in the early stage of his career- scoring a career-high 54 points!

In this game, Curry made 11 three-pointers, only one away from the league record, and scored 54 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, almost turning Madison Square Garden into the second Boston North Shore Garden.

(Those who understand will understand that in terms of discrimination and insults to players, Boston is the"nightmare" of visiting players in the playoffs)

The second-generation star Thompson was not to be outdone. Not only did he defend the old predecessor Angua to 7 of 26, he also contributed 18 points on the offensive end, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and the two second-generation stars Curry and Little cut"70" together.+"

In the 1980s and 1990s,"Curry"+"Thompson" Dream Linkage in the New Century!

Old Curry, Old Thompson: The value of our shot back then is still increasing!!!

And Joey, who served as the new tactical core of the Spurs, soon ushered in one of the most representative games of his career...
