Before the 1st, the league also announced the best winners of the East and West for the previous month.
The best player of the month in the East was won by John Wall, the star of the equipment team. In the past month, he led the Wizards to a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, leading the Wizards to the top four in the East, which is quite impressive.
同时个人表现也相当亮眼，场均24.5分4.4篮板10.7助攻2.6肠抢断0.4盖帽，三项命中率分别是为49.5%、30.4%和81.4%。
In the end, Wall defeated Davis of the Bulls, James of the Cavaliers, Thomas Jr. of the Celtics and others, and was named the best player of the month for the second time in his career.
In the West, the competition for the best player of the month is fierce, it is quite fierce; but is there any suspense?There is really no suspense!
First, why is it intense?
First of all, Westbrook of the Thunder averaged a large triple-double of 31+10+11 in a single month. Now in the eyes of countless fans and the media, Westbrook is basically equivalent to the incarnation of a triple-double.
此外，马赛克队的詹姆斯·哈登也打出了恐怖表现场均29分9.7篮板12助攻1.5抢断0.6盖帽。
The bearded man met D'Antoni, just like Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, and quickly entered the brightest moment of his life. In the latest MVP rankings, Harden has already worn No.3, the three top super giants of low pressure Zhan, Ku, and Du, second only to the triple-double madman Westbrook and...a hot man.
A man who is equivalent to a bug!
who?
Who else but Wang Zelin!
过去的一个月时间里，王哲林打出的表现无疑是历史级的得分盛宴。光是12月月初面对勇士的单场84分18篮板10助攻7盖3抢断的神级表现，就足以让他脸压一众竞争对手，再次斩获西部月最佳。
However, just being selected as the best during the day, but lost at night... This is quite embarrassing.
After the trip to Jingzhou, Wang Zelin and his teammates returned to Portland overnight, and they are about to usher in two consecutive games at home.
……
January is the peak period of NBA layoffs. After the teams lay off unwanted players, they can find reinforcements in the free market until the trade deadline.
In the past two days, the NBA has set off a frenzied wave of layoffs. When you open the news page of almost any team, you can see news like "the xx team dismantled xx and others".
According to statistics, in less than three days, a total of 86 people were laid off, which is a terrifying number.
However, fans who deal with the rules of the NBA season should know that before the start of the regular season of each season, such large-scale layoffs will inevitably occur before the official roster of 15 people is determined, because these players are basically unknown marginal players.
Such players can't perform well in training camps and preseason games, and basically have only one result of being laid off.
In addition, a large part of the people who were cut were veterans of various teams.Due to their age, such players can no longer maintain the competitive level of the NBA.
Take the Trail Blazers as an example. On the 2nd day, after repeated discussions between the coaching staff and the management, the team decided to remove veterans Richard Jefferson and Anthony Morrow.
At the beginning of the century, Jefferson, who was once known as the Trident of the Nets along with Kidd and Carter, was no match for the erosion of the years. At the age of 36 this season, he still had to usher in the last year of his career.
In his previous life, Jefferson, who entered the league in 01, did not realize his championship dream with the Cleveland Cavaliers until the 15-16 season. After playing for a year and a half, he officially announced his retirement.
In this time and space, he will retire one season earlier than Wang Zelin thinks, and it is he who voluntarily applied to the management for retirement.
In the past few years, he has played at least 100 games for the Trail Blazers in each season, which made the veteran advance to the day when the fuel was exhausted.
There is something to be willing to do, and he retired a season early, but in exchange for two precious championship rings, even Jefferson in his previous life would be more willing to say goodbye like this.
For Anthony Morrow, he has just turned 31 this season, and theoretically there is still a lot of oil in the tank.
But one thing must be clear before that, Anthony Morrow entered the NBA as a non-draft player, which means that his physical talent is actually not as good as the draft players.
After all, the draft is essentially a team betting on a player's talent.
From the 08-09 season to the present, as a non-draft player, Morrow has played in the NBA for nearly 10 years, and in the past two seasons with the Trail Blazers to achieve the dream of the championship dream.
Simply looking at the trajectory of a role player's career development, his career is undoubtedly perfect.
The total salary of his career reached 2 million, and he also won two championship rings in his later years.
Such a career as a role player can be called complete.
After learning that the Trail Blazers included him in the layoff list, Morrow was depressed for a while before recovering, but at the age of 31, he still has no plans to retire.
In the end, the Trail Blazers reached a deal with the Chicago Bulls in the East, using Anthony Morrow in exchange for a lot of cash, which in turn released a certain amount of salary space for the team.
So far, there are still 13 players left in the Trail Blazers roster. Considering that Aldridge is still recovering from his injuries, he may not come back until the end of the regular season, which means that they only have 12 players who can play.
Without Morrow and Jefferson, the strength of the Trail Blazers' wings has declined. Although Carter and McCaw can also play the third position, one of them is too old and the other is too young, and each has its own disadvantages.
Next, the Blazers management will set their sights on the free agent market, trying to find high-quality championship puzzles, targeting defenders and forwards.
Of course, that is something that the management and coaching staff need to consider.
As players, the goal of Wang Zelin and his teammates is to win the regular season in the first month of the new year.
Losing to the Warriors after a good start in 2017, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on the heads of the Trail Blazers players, allowing them to return from their arrogant mentality to their normal hearts.
Being number one in the league for too long, it's inevitable that he'll drift away!
Only by stopping properly and summarizing can we go further.
Two days later, on the evening of the 4th, the Trail Blazers sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers.
With the birth of various hot transactions in the trading market last summer, especially the emergence of the four-star warriors, the entire league has completely entered the era of strong teams.
In this context of the times, the Lakers' Big Three formed by Kobe + Paul + his sister-in-law seem less star-studded.
What's more, they led to the second round last year, which further exacerbated the outside world's pessimism about the Lakers winning the championship.
Therefore, the Lakers were also labeled as a fake strong team.
