NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 123: Elected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, is James good again?

The popularity of the Kewang combination can even be described as crushing the Yao and Mai combination, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Originally, McGrady didn't have many fans in China. Although he has two scoring titles, his popularity is still far behind that of Kobe Bryant, who won four championships in the past five years.

Moreover, the Rockets' record is completely incomparable with that of the Lakers. In the past 10 games, the Rockets have only achieved 4 wins and 6 losses, ranking outside the top ten in the Western Conference. They are very different from the Lakers, who have firmly ranked second in the Western Conference after defeating the Suns.

Without any other special emotions, pure passerby fans definitely prefer a team that keeps winning to a team that keeps losing.

The Lakers have always been a powerhouse in the Western Conference in the past few years. They have won 5 championships in 4 years and created a dynasty. They are also the most popular team in the NBA.

In contrast, the Rockets basically have no competitiveness except for having the first Chinese champion.

Dayao has indeed brought a large number of Chinese fans to the Rockets. Even in the more than ten years after Dayao retires, the Rockets will still be the home team supported by many Chinese fans... until a disgusting person... Animals commit suicide and cause trouble in public.

The Rockets in the 04-05 season were actually pretty good. Although they did not perform well at the beginning of the new season due to running-in issues, as the schedule continued, the team began to gradually produce a chemical reaction, especially the Yao-Mai combination. McGrady averaged 25.7 points per game. With 6 rebounds and 5.7 assists, Dayao averaged 18.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. As a dual-core team, his performance was not bad. With many players in the team scoring in double figures, the Rockets achieved a record of 51 wins and 31 losses in the regular season, ranking first in the league. Fifth in the West.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets faced off against the Mavericks and fought fiercely with their opponents until the seventh game before losing. It was considered an honor to lose.

Of course, fans don't know these things now. At least at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' battlefield performance was far better than the Rockets. Even if they lost to the Rockets before, they are still generally considered to be much better than the Rockets.

Especially after defeating the Suns in an away game, the Lakers started another winning streak.

From November 11st to November 21th, the Lakers' five opponents are the Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Hornets and a rematch with the Bucks.

Among these opponents, the only one that is more difficult is the Sacramento Kings.

But the Kings in this period are no longer as brave as they were in the past. Although the players in the peak period of the Princeton system are still there, the core players including Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic and others are all over their years. In their thirties, although the two of them can still steadily contribute 20+ points per game, the Kings' strength is still visibly declining.

In the 04-05 season, the Kings could barely get a regular season record of 50 wins and 32 losses. In the 05-06 season, with Webber leaving the team, even though the team was supplemented by players such as Artest, the record still dropped to 44 wins. And in the 06-07 season, they fell out of the top eight in the Western Conference, thus starting a career as a bottom-ranked team that missed the playoffs for 17 consecutive years.

The process of the Lakers beating the Kings was relatively easy overall.

115:99, a 16-point victory at home.

Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 31 points, and Wang Chong also scored 27 points.

Whether it's the back line or the forward line, the Kings can't find a suitable candidate who can effectively limit the combination of Kings and Kings.

As a result, without paying attention, the Lakers went on a seven-game winning streak. It was not until December 12 that they lost to the Bulls 1:84 in an away game, ending their winning streak.

整个11月的15场比赛，湖人取得13胜2负战绩，短暂的超越12胜3负的马刺与11胜4负的太阳，高居西部榜首。

科比凭借这15场比赛场均28分5.8篮板6.6助攻的数据，力压场均16分11.4助攻的纳什当选11月西部月最佳球员。

值得一提的是入选东部11月最佳球员的，是率领骑士队夺得9胜5负，场均可以贡献26.3分7.8篮板6.1助攻的詹姆斯。

Just like the original historical process, in the second season of his career, James showed the strength of a top star.

<divclass="contentadv">The current data is not his peak performance this season. Not surprisingly, James' personal data will average 27 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game this season.

It's just that James, with such a strong performance on the court, still failed to lead the Cavaliers into the playoffs. He and Kobe, who averaged 27.6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the Western Conference, were like brothers.

Won the Player of the Month and leading the team to good results, James fans couldn't help but start shouting again.

Although Wang Chong's overall performance in November was not much worse than James.

In 15 games, Wang Chong averaged 26.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 51%. He was not inferior to James in scoring and rebounding, but was only slightly inferior to James in assists.

But why do current James fans care about that? Wang Chong has been suppressed in almost all aspects, especially James, who could only serve as a substitute for Wang Chong during the Olympics. He could hardly hold his head up.

Now that I have finally made a name for myself, I naturally rush to take it out and brag about it.

Of course Wang Chong didn't care about this.

If he has to come out and brag because he is selected as the best player of the month, it will only prove that this player is not good enough.

Rather than comparing with James, Wang Chong now focuses more on the game.

Since the schedule entered December, the Lakers' record has begun to fluctuate and is not as strong as it was in November.

12月1日客场输给公牛后，湖人在自家主场97:88击败勇士，但还没来得及高兴，湖人便在主场110:113不敌太阳遗憾告负。

It's really a pity to lose this game.

The Lakers still use the same small-ball lineup against the Suns, with Odom as the starting center.

The two teams were also inseparable for a time, and the Lakers almost won the game.

But Kobe couldn't stand it when he got sick at a critical moment. He only scored 7 points on 1 of 3 shots in the fourth quarter. He felt cold but had to attack persistently. Even if Wang Chong was on the court and had a good opportunity, he couldn't catch the ball at all.

Wang Chong, who traveled from the future, has a deep understanding of Kobe's problems. He even knows very well why Kobe suddenly had convulsions in this game.

原因是太阳队那边乔.约翰逊今天状态不错，在科比的防守下全场19投10中，三分球7中5，砍下25分3篮板7助攻。

The matchup failed to suppress Joe Johnson, which made the proud Kobe very unhappy. Therefore, in the fourth quarter of the game, he persistently wanted to prove his strength by beating the opponent in singles.

This style is just like that of a three-year-old child, but this is Kobe.

Even if he holds five championships in the future and becomes the number one player in the league, he will still take a lot of shots due to competition with a certain player, which will delay the game.

In fact, the other Lakers players were not bad in this game. Wang Chong scored 48 points with a 24% shooting rate. Odom and Chris Mihm both scored 60 points with a shooting rate of over 18%. The team Having been in the lead in the first three quarters, it was really a pity to lose the game.
