Chapter 449. Chapter 449.

Today is the last game day before the NBA All-Star. There are two games, the Sacramento Kings vs. New York Knicks at home, and the Lakers challenge the Trail Blazers away.

Before the end of these two games, the NBA's half-time record has been released.

The first in the Western Conference is the Lakers, with 48 wins and 4 losses, and it is also the first in the league. The second is the Warriors, with 42 wins and 10 losses, the second best record in the league.The third is the Blazers 38 wins and 14 losses. The schedule of recent games is tight, which is unlucky.The fourth is the Rockets with 37 wins and 15 losses, the fifth is the Clippers with 38 wins and 14 losses, but because of the division system, they can only be ranked fifth, the sixth is the Grizzlies with 33 wins and 20 losses, and the seventh is the Spurs with 32 wins 20 losses, and they often have a large-scale rotation. Their record is mediocre. The outside world speculates that they are preparing for the playoffs. The eighth is the Pelicans with 30 wins and 22 losses. Their bravery at the beginning of the season gave them a certain advantage in the long season. In the playoffs.

The ninth after the first eight is the Mavericks 29 wins and 24 losses. The Mavericks have a very good momentum and hope to hit the playoffs.The tenth is the Thunder, 27 wins and 26 losses, and they are about to fall behind. Westbrook started a crazy data time, but since they are in the West, most of the teams they played against were also Western teams. No.11 Jazz, Hayward is getting better and better, but not enough, the two insiders are not mature enough.

The remaining four teams are basically farewell to the playoffs:
The No. 12 Nuggets are 23 wins and 30 losses. Mr. George Karl looked up to the sky and smiled. You really can't do it without me. No. 13 Kings, 18 wins and 35 losses, No. 14 Suns, 17 wins and 35 losses, no one knows how they played so poorly with such a good lineup, No. 15 Timberwolves, 15 wins and 38 losses, the league With the fourth worst record from the bottom, they are now completely rebuilt, with Rubio, Andrew Wiggins, Sabah Mohamed, Thaddeus Young, and Gogil Dieng as the core lineup for training.

For this reason, the Timberwolves even sent the big center Nicholas Pekovic, who has an annual salary of tens of millions, to the NBDL to free up playing time for Gion and Yang. There won't be so many veterans who still lose to hit these young players like before.

The competition between No. 11 and No. 8 in the Western Conference is fierce, and even the Nuggets have a theoretical chance to hit No. [-]. The Wild West is really not just for fun.

In the east, the polarization can be seen at a glance.

The Eagles are number one in the Eastern Conference, with 39 wins and 13 losses, the third best record in the league. There can only be one word to describe them, and that is excellent.The second is the Knicks, 37 wins and 15 losses. They are unanimously favored by the media. By the middle of the season, their defense has declined, but they are still in the top ten in the league. .The third is the Cavaliers with 35 wins and 18 losses, the fourth is the Raptors with 33 wins and 19 losses, and the fifth is the Wizards with 30 wins and 23 losses.

东部剩下的球队胜率都不到五成，第六是公牛，26胜27负，第七凯尔特人24胜28负，第八黄蜂23胜29负，第九热火22胜30负。活塞、步行者都是20胜33负、篮网19胜33负，魔术19胜34负。

The remaining two are the worst teams in the league.

The Bucks and the 76ers, one has 13 wins and the other has 14 wins. Both teams are working hard to get away from the bottom one, although the goals are different.

The last power ranking before the All-Star Weekend has come out.

Even if the Lakers didn't play this game, they still sit firmly at the top of the power rankings, and Liu Ren continues to rank first in the MVP rankings.

Unknowingly, the Warriors and Cavaliers have gradually secured the No.2 and No.3 positions in the strength rankings.

The Warriors became the second team in the league to break through 40 wins, securing No.2.

Although the Cavaliers' record is only 35 wins and 18 losses, that is all due to a winning percentage of less than [-]% in the first month.

The Blazers and Clippers tied for fourth.

After a good start, the Knicks have been quite satisfactory. They should win, but there are not many bright spots. Although the record is better than the Cavaliers, reaching 37 wins and 15 losses, they still only rank sixth in the strength list.

The Eagles with the No. [-] record in the East are only ranked seventh. They have recently suffered a three-game losing streak. The Rockets are eighth, the Grizzlies are ninth, and the Raptors are tenth.

It is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers have strengthened again. They have completed a deal with the Nuggets. Mozgov will report to Cleveland after the All-Star Weekend. The Cavaliers also have a big center.

The Cavaliers exchanged the two wonderful first-round picks they got when they traded with the Grizzlies and Thunder the year before last to the Nuggets' big center Mozgov.

These two draft picks are very strange. The Grizzlies' first-round pick was protected by the top 2015 picks in 20. This year's Grizzlies regular season record is not very good, and it is really possible to enter the sixth and seventh positions in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, maybe the record can't make it into the top ten in the league, so the pick can only be returned to the Grizzlies, and it will be postponed to the pick protected by the Grizzlies lottery next season.

The Grizzlies have no problem making it to the playoffs, but the Nuggets actually don't benefit much from wanting the pick from the Grizzlies. 2015 was a big draft year, and 2016 will be another draft year.

The Thunder's draft pick is even more exotic. In 2015, the 1st to 15th picks are protected, and the 26th to 30th picks are protected.The Thunder may not be able to give the draft pick. This year's Thunder record is estimated to be on the verge of the playoffs, and there are too many injuries.

If the Thunder wins the lottery this year, it will be postponed to the 2016 lottery protection and the 26th to 30th pick protection, that is, only when the Thunder's record is in the middle of the league, the Grizzlies can get the 2016 Thunder draft pick.

After all their members are healthy next year, it is basically determined that the regular season record will be in the top five in the league. Next year, the Nuggets are not likely to get this pick.

如果2015年和2016年这两个选秀权都没有到掘金手里，那这个首轮选秀权就会变成2017年首轮无保护和2017年的次轮选秀权和2018年的次轮选秀权。

This is how many years later.

It can be said that the Nuggets are sure to lose money in this deal.

The thinking of the Nuggets management may be that Mozgov blocked the development space of Faried and this year's talented rookie center Joseph Nurkic, so they sent him away.

Anyway, everyone who sees this deal thinks the Cavaliers have made money. Mozgov’s contract is 1300 million for three years. The data is 8+8 like their power forward Tristan Thompson, but Mozgov’s three-year contract is 5+8500. The contract has just started its first season, and Thompson has already begun to want a maximum salary of [-] million for five years.

……

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Lakers came to the Portland Rose Garden, and the game against the Blazers was about to start the second round.

"It's great, the Rose Garden Arena also has heating." Liu Ren said happily after stepping into the Rose Garden Arena.

"Paul Allen is not short of this little money. If he buys Portland's heating company to serve this team exclusively, he will not blink. I heard that Paul Allen is one of the richest owners in the league. I don’t know who is richer, he or Ballmer of the Clippers.” Nick Young said on the sidelines.

After changing his jersey and stretching his muscles and various tendons, Liu Ren and his teammates stepped into the court together under the notice of the staff.

It is indeed the Rose Garden Arena, which was called the devil's home stadium. Although the players and coaches of the Trail Blazers have changed several times, they are not the iron-blooded Trail Blazers who fought the Lakers in seven games at the beginning of the century, but the style of the fans is still so " Enthusiasm", the Lakers were greeted with overwhelming boos.

The Lakers players are used to it, but there is another person on the Blazers side who has been very dissatisfied with it.

"It's really noisy, when can we be quiet!" Aldridge muttered, his voice was so small that no one could hear what he was saying, he liked the kind of fans who reacted at the right moment, not this kind of fans who just reacted. I know what to say.

"It's finally here, this time I must take revenge!" Lillard looked at the purple No. 1 who was looking for a touch in the mid-range shot, full of fighting spirit.

Lillard has been extremely upset recently, especially after the All-Star substitute list came out this morning, he was about to explode.

Did not enter the All-Star bench!Popovich informed Duncan that he was unable to play due to injury after the vote, and the coaches re-elected Westbrook, not Lillard.

"I want to show those who look down on me, who is the number one point guard in the league!"
