Ask for a recommendation ticket

……

The Knicks, who were second in the Eastern Conference last year, have not changed much in their lineup this year, but it is hard to win. Fans are starting to miss Kidd. After Germany went to next door Brooklyn to be the head coach, the Knicks crashed directly.

In the Eastern Conference right now, except for the Heat and the Pacers who dare to predict that they will enter the playoffs, the predictions for other teams are all talking and avoiding the topic. Who the hell can guess who will enter the season in the Eastern Conference? Playoffs?

Originally they were optimistic about the Eagles, a team that tried their best to imitate the Spurs this year. They played very well in the first two weeks of the season and ranked third in the Eastern Conference. But after other teams figured out their routines, this team has not yet The team that really integrated the system also crashed. The Lakers were really unlucky when they lost at the beginning of the season.

From fourth to No.13 in the Eastern Conference, the victories are between 4 and 7 games. If anyone wins two more games, the ranking will immediately change drastically. No famous expert dares to predict this situation. The prediction is purely He took the initiative to stick his face out to find him.

December 12st, what started every year on this day continued this year.

The NBA All-Star first ballot voting has begun. After a series of reforms, the current All-Star voting has changed a lot compared to the last decade. First of all, it is no longer experts who choose a few stars from each team. Let the fans vote, but all players have the opportunity to become an All-Star starter. Fans can vote for whomever they like, even if this player ranks last in the league, as long as he is popular.

This is a new voting rule for this year. Liu Ren feels that this is a decision made by Stern after seeing that there are no players from China and India in the league.

Then, just like last season, continue to abolish the position of center in the All-Star starters, and become three frontcourts and two backcourts. It is said that in this way, there will be no more situations where Yao Ming plays the starter and O'Neal plays the substitute. If so If two dominant centers are in the same division, they can start together.

But in fact, it will cause not many people to vote for the center in the All-Star starters in the next few years.

The start of All-Star voting is a big deal for Yoo Ren!

Of course he wants to be an All-Star. If he doesn't make the starting lineup, he feels that he may not be selected as a substitute. The choices of the coaches are sometimes unexpected, such as Lillard who will not be selected as a substitute several times in the future.

The best of the first month is released today.

The best player in the first month of the Western Conference is Durant, who has averaged 29.9 points, 10.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game so far. He stood up when Westbrook's knee injury was repeated and often truce, and he played very versatile data. The surge has reached an average of 3.5 times per game.

However, in recent games, he passed the ball too deliberately. He dropped 32 points from 30 points per game at the beginning of the season, and the effect was not very good. His dribbling ability has improved by leaps and bounds this year, but after all, he did not have the ability to hold the ball before. When he deliberately passed the ball, his intentions were too obvious, and he made a lot of mistakes when he was spotted by the opponent. Especially in the past two weeks, after the opponent got used to his rapid dribbling, he made more mistakes and his record declined.

Even so, he is still the best player in the West, and the Thunder's record is not bad, 12 wins and 5 losses. His statistics are good, and the league has a habit of picking the best players, and it is those few every year.

So although Liu Ren regretted not getting the best of the first month, it was not surprising.

To choose the best of the month, first of all, the record is the most basic. The top four in the West are the Spurs, Lakers, Rockets, and Thunder. Someone may be elected as the best of the month.

The Rockets only lost one game after losing to the Lakers. With a record of 14 wins and 4 losses in an extremely unfriendly schedule, they are naturally eligible to be selected as the best of the month. After all, it has to cooperate with Howard, so it doesn't look very dazzling.

Lakers Liu Ren's data is thriving, averaging 25.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. It is really enough to be the best of the month, but who is Durant is a superstar? After looking at the names of the two, the league chose Durant.

The best player of the month in the Eastern Conference is James. He is the only player in the Eastern Conference. Although the team's record was overtaken by the Pacers, the Eastern Conference really couldn't find a player who could match his performance.So far, James has averaged 28 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. He is very versatile and looks the same as last season.

But Liu Ren knew that James was already getting tired. It can be seen from the last few games that his performance has suddenly declined. He just doesn’t know if this year’s finals will be staged as he remembers. If everything goes as he remembers It happened, this year is the last year of James in the Heat, his performance will drop a lot in the middle of the regular season, and his body has been overloaded by being a father and a mother and leading the team in the past few years.

The best rookie of the month in the West is Trey Burke, averaging 11 points and 4 assists per game, and McAway in the East, averaging 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

Basically, no one can be selected, so the rookies with the best data in the east and west are selected, but the two teams are at the bottom of their respective divisions.

The overall strength of this year's rookies is too bad. The champion Lang Bennett has averaged 2 points and 1 rebound per game so far. It is rare to score a sports goal in ten games. It is said that he is injured.

Liu Ren knew that Bennett wasn't injured, but that he really didn't have the strength of the NBA. Even playing in the Development League was enough. To put it bluntly, he wasn't talented enough. To put it bluntly, Bennett was an amateur player, and the league he belonged to was not good enough. Similar to the amateur league, many amateur players in the United States are stronger than him.

"It seems to be the same as before. Bennett, the unlucky guy, won't be able to get away with the title of the most underwhelming champion in history. Kwame Brown should be very grateful to him. In comparison, the former best parallel importer is really outstanding." Liu Ren shook Shaking his head, he can't say whether he should sympathize with Bennett or think that this guy is very lucky. If the Cavaliers don't choose him, he will probably be selected at the end of the first round or early in the second round, right?Or maybe other teams will bet on him in the lottery. This year's draft is already bad, and everyone is similar. Few second-round picks have successfully entered the league, and most of the first-round picks have been sent to the Development League. After a year or two, he was laid off.

Bennett can earn a lot of money by getting the salary of the No. 12 pick for two years. If he was selected before 4 years, he can get the salary of the No. 2000 pick for four years, which adds up to more than 11. The rookie contract for the first round has made new regulations, and it has become a 2+1+1 contract, which means that the next two years are team options, not full guarantees.

But even so, Bennett also received a salary of about 1000 million in the first two years. If he was not selected by the Cavaliers, it is estimated that he could get a salary of more than 100 million in two years before being laid off. After being laid off after a year, I still found a job, although I ended up being laid off again.

And precisely because of this tens of millions, Bennett will always be nailed to the shame of the NBA. In the future, it will be difficult to have a champion who is better than him. It is not easy to be the worst among the 60 rookies in the first year.

This is why Liu Ren sympathizes with Bennett and thinks he is lucky. It is not easy for a player to let people remember him forever.
