NBA: No. 1 Forward

, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!

Another interesting thing is that this year's All-Star Game was held in Orlando, and Howard beat Kobe and James to become the second place in the first stage of votes.

Of course, Orlando's role as the host city for the All-Stars is huge. As the host, Magic fans naturally have the spirit of ownership and actively participate in the All-Star voting.

As the core of the Magic and the most dominant center in the league, Howard is of course the first choice.

That alone, Howard's votes are enough to be guaranteed.

Secondly, Howard himself has the strength of the vote king.

Needless to say, Howard's ability, in addition to this, there is another point that I have to admit is that Howard is a big boy who likes to play.

In 2008, Howard won the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. His "Superman" image was all the rage. In the All-Star Game, many fans like entertaining stars.

And Howard is undoubtedly the big man he likes to play the most after O'Neal retired.

In the West, the soul of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant, received the most votes; followed by the star of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who was one of the most popular MVPs in the regular season besides Lian Dao. Durant.

…

Just when all Knicks fans were expecting the team's winning streak to continue to expand, the Knicks lost the second game against the Heat in back-to-back away games.

Against the Houston Rockets, five starters, only Cousins ​​played, four rounds of rest, it would be strange not to lose the game.

This is also for D'Antoni to protect the players. They don't need to deliberately pursue a winning streak this season. The most important thing for the Knicks this season is to stay healthy while making the playoffs!

After playing the Houston Rockets, the Knicks finally ended five days and four games, a back-to-back road trip.

Back at home, on January 31, with Cousins ​​taking a break at home, the Knicks still easily defeated the Detroit Pistons.

After playing the Detroit Pistons, it also announced the official end of the Knicks' game in January.

In January, the Knicks played a total of 17 games and achieved 15 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

At the same time, with 32.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9.6 assists, Lian Dao was undoubtedly re-elected the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference.

The best player of the month in the West is Kobe Bryant. The Lakers also played 17 games in January and achieved a record of 10 wins and 7 losses.

The Lakers' record is not particularly good.

During the offseason, the Lakers wanted to trade for Paul, but in the end it was all for naught and was used as a tool for trading. Gasol was a little psychologically injured.

Recently, the state of other Lakers players is not very good, but this also prompted Kobe to take over the banner of the team's offense again.

Throughout January, Kobe averaged 31.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. In January, Kobe scored 40+ in 4 consecutive games. This state made fans exclaim that Kobe returned to his peak season in 2005-07.

…

Entering February, the Knicks' first game is at home against the Chicago Bulls.

The rebirth of Lian Dao had a butterfly effect, causing some players not to go to the team in their history. One of the victims was the Bulls.

They lost two players, Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler.

It can be said that the current overall strength of this bull is not as strong as that bull in history when compared with history.

However, the glory of the Bulls is destined to be created by Rose, and the current Bulls have forced a stronger Rose.

It's a pity that they met the more powerful Knicks.

On February 2, the Knicks' first game in February, the Knicks ushered in their first victory.

In the home game against the Chicago Bulls, even though Derrick Rose scored 34 points and 12 assists, it still didn't help. They did not take away the victory from Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks, who are stronger overall, took the bull's head off the Bulls with six players scoring in double figures.

Subsequently, the Knicks defeated the New Jersey Nets and the Utah Jazz respectively, achieving a new round of four consecutive victories.

The Knicks have just ended their 12-game winning streak, and have another 4-game winning streak.

With 21 wins and 3 losses, the defending champion is still unstoppable.

All teams in the league are particularly afraid of the Knicks, especially the Knicks' attitude of dominating the world, which makes all teams very unwilling.

All teams in the current league want to beat this defending champion.

However, as soon as February entered, the Timberwolves and the Raptors initiated a deal that stunned Lian Dao.

The Timberwolves sent DeMar DeRozan and Darko Milicic to the Raptors, and then the Raptors sent their leading center Andrea Bargnani.

Lian Dao still knows about Andrea Bargnani, the No. 1 pick in 2006, an Italian with a height of 2.13 meters.

Last season, he averaged 21.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. So far this season, he has also averaged 19.5 points and 5.5 rebounds.

This data looks and feels like the Timberwolves have earned it.

After all, DeRozan's data in the Timberwolves last season was only 16.4 points. With the addition of "Golden Boy" Rubio this season, DeRozan's possession of the ball has dropped sharply, and the data has even shrunk somewhat.

DeRozan's 14.4 points per game so far doesn't look good.

Everyone felt that the Timberwolves had made a profit, but Lian Dao felt that the Timberwolves had lost a lot.

Although Andrea Bargnani is not strong enough, he has flexible feet and a good shooting touch.

For a player of his stature, Bargnani is fast and quick on his feet, especially the first step when breaking through.

The shot is quick, the bounce is outstanding, the ability to take off continuously, and the ability to block shots is strong.

These are the advantages of Andrea Bargnani, but Andrea Bargnani has a fatal flaw, that is, he is a glass man.

Historically, he suffered an injury this season, then fell into a slump, and never played a brilliant record again.

Especially in the five years since 2012 when he played for an NBA team, he averaged only 36 games per game in the season.

But now Andrea Bargnani is not known as the champion of parallel imports like later generations.

Although the current Andrea Bargnani will never grow up to the draft template Dirk Nowitzki when he first entered the league, as a big man with a soft touch and excellent skills, he is also favored by some teams. favorite.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】

"However, why would the Timberwolves use a player with great potential at the 2nd position for an inside player who is injured and can't play?"

This made Lian Dao puzzled.

Immediately, Lian Dao searched for news about Andrea Bargnani on the Internet, and Lian Dao finally knew why the Timberwolves agreed to the deal.

Originally, this guy should have been injured after the game against the Jazz on January 15, but now he is still healthy, which is why the Timberwolves agreed to this deal.

Since the deal initiated by the Raptors still uses the No. 1 pick of the year, it can be seen that their team doctor Andrea Bargnani should not be very ideal in the player's injury assessment.

However, after Lian Dao learned about DeRozan's deal, he immediately called DeRozan.

In fact, Lian Dao is not very good at comforting people, but Lian Dao knows that DeRozan really needs the comfort of his friends now.

The two chatted for about half an hour.

Although DeRozan felt disappointed with the team's trade, it did not lead to aggravated depression as in history~www.mtl.com~ After all, he has only been in the Timberwolves for two seasons, and his sense of belonging to the Timberwolves is far greater than that of the Timberwolves. The Raptors of the last life.

Under Lian Dao's enlightenment, DeRozan's mood improved a lot.

It's just that I didn't expect the wheel of fate to be so **** up. After going round and round, DeRozan returned to the track of history.

Hopefully, DeRozan will not be abandoned by the Raptors again, but with this experience, I believe that even if history reappears, DeRozan's psychological quality and ability to accept will be stronger than in the previous life.

However, in the first game DeRozan joined the Raptors, he lost to the Boston Celtics by a huge score of 64:100.

DeRozan, who started the game, only scored 8 points, 3 fouls and 2 turnovers. Everyone felt that the Raptors lost money in this round of trading.

But then, in the Timberwolves' road game against the New Jersey Nets that night, Andrea Bargnani played 12 minutes and left with a sprained ankle.
