From Today it is the King of the Basketball

In the past few years, in January each year, the NBA will point to the Eagles, Lakers, Heat, Suns, Mavericks and other teams to continue their lives.

No way, almost every season in January is the month with the lowest NBA network traffic and news topic index.

In addition to the fans starting to watch the game fatigue, the players are not willing to fight hard at this time, fear of injury and other strengths affect the performance of the second half of the season.

But this year is different. The Hawks have beaten the Mavericks, Hornets, and Cavaliers in a row.

Because of the second to ninth ranking competition in the west, it has become fierce from the beginning of the new year! Even if the Blazers play a wave of winning streak, they may rush to the second in the west.

In January, the NBA's attention is rising instead of falling!

There has never been such a fierce competition in NBA history. This year, the West may create the spectacle of the top nine all winning 50, that is, there may be a team that cannot win the playoffs with a 50-win team. !

This has never happened in NBA history.

Facts have proved that it is not how much fans do not want to watch the ball in January, but they all know that in January, except for the few popular teams that are scheduled to meet, they will play more intensely. Falling, the fans are somewhat aesthetically fatigued.

By the time of the card game after the All-Star break, didn't fans all come back?

This season has not seen a decline in NBA ratings until the middle of the season, and network traffic has not decreased but has risen. This is a good illustration of this.

On January 6, the first all-star voting data was announced.

On the second day after the Hawks and Lakers played Christmas, the All-Star voting began. Starting on the 6th, 17th, and 28th, the number of votes was announced every 11 days, and the 28th announced the final result.

The enthusiasm of the fans continues, which is also hugely beneficial for the All-Star voting.

This time, in the first stage of the All-Star vote, 8 stars have broken millions!

In terms of Western defenders, Kobe and Iverson's 96-generation guards, like the original double 21, began to occupy the position.

The votes of both men broke through one million, and Kobe won the first championship after O'Neill left. Popularity continued to rise, with 1.39 million votes ranking first in the West and the total number of votes so far.

Iverson ranked second in the Western Guards with 1.13 million votes and third in the Western Conference.

The only western striker to break the one million mark is Tim Duncan, who has once again entered the peak period, with 1.03 million votes.

Anthony's 790,000 votes ranked second among the Western forwards.

In the center position, Yao Minglei was the first player who couldn't move. He had six consecutive games and had 1.25 million votes.

Western defenders and centers do not have much suspense. Kobe and Iverson are too popular. The third Chris Paul and the fourth Steve Nash combined are not as high as Iverson votes.

Yao Ming is also the same in the center position. O'Neill has only more than 700,000 votes, only 50,000 more votes than Wang Zhizhi.

Duncan ’s All-Star is estimated to be difficult to shake, but Anthony ’s point is not stable, there are 750,000 votes in Carlos Boozer and 710,000 votes in Josh Smith, and 630,000 votes in Gasol and Odom 470,000 votes.

On the eastern side, except for Liu Mang, no one expected the Eastern All-Star to win the first vote is Dwight Howard.

Howard ranked first in the Eastern Center with 1.28 million votes! Even more votes than Western center Yao Ming!

This is not to say that Howard is the most popular among Eastern stars, but that he is the most lovable at this stage. He laughs like a big kid all day long, attracting many people to vote for him.

Kwame Brown is far from an All-Star, with only 610,000 votes in second place in the Eastern Center.

But even more unfortunate was Milicic, the unlucky boy. The United States ranked fourth in the Eastern Center with only more than 300,000 votes. Even the Heat's backup center Rashid Wallace got 60,000 votes higher than him. .

Like Nowitzki, the fans thought he was powerful, but not many people voted for him.

Milicic is too plain. When other people go to promote their money in the summer, he goes back to his hometown to help his mother milk milk and rely on his own fame to help his mother's ranch contact dairy manufacturers to sell milk ...

He doesn't need to help his mother grow land now, he has money, but the older generation cannot leave the land. Milicic helped his mother buy a ranch.

The most powerful dairy farmer among NBA players is Milicic.

As for the eastern striker, James ranked first with 1.15 million votes and Garnett second with 910,000 votes.

The storm caused by Garnett last year has been much smaller this year. Garnett and the Bulls management's tearing battle is continuing. One wants to make a long-term contract, and the team only wants to pay a short-term high salary. It also affected Garnett's popularity from a certain level.

The eastern striker competition is also very fierce, and the following Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Raheem, Pierce, Bosh, Marion votes are not low.

Grant Hill, in particular, ranked fourth in the Eastern Forward with 690,000 votes.

In terms of defenders, Liu Mang ranked second in the east with 1.2 million votes, and McGrady had 1.13 million votes.

These two are very stable, because the third vote is Wade's 850,000 votes ... The fourth Carter after that is only 510,000 votes, and the gap between the first three is already very large.

Although Carter started to develop a more stable play two or three years later than the original time and space, but he also did not escape the "out of breath" matter.

Wade didn't know whether he was lucky or not. The league announced the All-Star shortlist on December 24. All-star players can only choose from this. Wade will come back on the 21st. The first performance of the comeback is good. The league will Add him to the list, but on the shortlist, he can only be ranked third.

Regardless of the situation, the Eastern All-Star guard is the Hawks.

There is no doubt that the All-Star voting result will also become a factor that affects player motivation.

The fierce competition in the top nine in the western region means that the record will not be much worse. The data of the stars has not reached the point where there is a difference. The unusually wide distribution of the first round of votes in the west naturally makes some stars unhappy.

Improving the enthusiasm of the players and increasing the highlights that fans can find in watching the ball is the reason why the league announces the number of votes every ten days, otherwise it is enough to announce the All-Star on the 28th.

But ...

These things have nothing to do with the Hawks.

The third to fifth competition in the east and the second to ninth **** competition in the west have nothing to do with the Hawks.

The Hawks' schedule in January looks relatively difficult. Since the Hawks are at the end of October plus November and December, there will be four or five strong enemies, so the remaining 52 games will naturally have a lot more strong enemies.

Like the first three games played in January, the first game was the Hornets and the second game was the Cavaliers, both of whom were considered opponents of the popular team at the beginning of the season.

After playing the three away games in January, the Hawks record turned 27 wins and 6 losses. After seeing the results of the first All-Star vote on the 6th, the Hawks ushered in the challenge of the Nets that night.

This is the first game in five consecutive home games for the Hawks.

In the Pacers game yesterday, the Hawks did not feel happy at all. The opponent's posture was captured by the opponent. The Eagles were embarrassed to abuse too much and won 36 points.

This time playing the Nets, the Hawks can be very active players.

Said to be able to play ... It's simple, the Hawks' back-to-back second-round rest came.

The coaching staff will never allow Wade to play back-to-back in the second game. The team doctor said that Wade can play without restrictions, but the coaching staff is afraid!

It's a miracle that Wade can recover to such a healthy state. Since there is a medical record in NBA history, there has never been a torn cruciate ligament, and it can still have top physical fitness.

This is even more pampered.

In addition to Wade, McGrady, Kwame Brown, Marion also took a break.

The Hawks team sent Rondo, Liu Mang, Mason, O'Neal, Brad Miller.

The Hawks have a sophomore plus a superstar plus three bad old men ... The strength of the game is really impressive.

Rondo has a habit of losing. When he partnered with Liu Mang, Marion, McGrady, and Kwame Brown, he counterattacked and threw them into the air. These four people jumped out and then dunked. Do it.

In the first quarter, the Hawks trailed by three points 23 to 26, but after the half-time play, they reached 50 draws. The first half tied the score purely by enthusiasm.

In the second half, the depth of the Hawks' lineup showed its advantage.

It ’s true that the Nets are still good. They did n’t reach the bottom of the East. They gave away two big stars. They got a lot of quality role players. When they sent the best lineup, they were comparable to the Hawks in the first half. Among them, rookie Noah's strategy played a big role. Nocioni's three-pointer and Duhon's cut cooperated well with Noah.

But as the game deepened ~ www.readwn.com ~ Jason Terry found the feeling, Scola's inside singles in the second half, plus the most stable Liu Mang ...

In the third quarter, the Hawks played a score of 37-22 in a single quarter, pulling the difference to 15 points in one fell swoop, making the game lose its suspense.

In the end, relying on Liu Mang played 39 minutes to get 33 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, Rondo's 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Jason Terry's 21 points and Scola's 16 points, the Hawks scored double figures , 113 to 99 easily beat the Nets to get a seven-game winning streak.

After playing the Nets, on January 8th, the Hawks ushered in the second opponent Wizards of the fifth consecutive.

At present, the seventh Eastern Wizards only have a record of 16 wins and 19 losses, which is different from the last time they competed with the Hawks to the last minute. This time, the Wizards were defeated by the Hawks.

Liu Mang played 21 minutes in the first half and got 17 points, 6 assists and 4 blocks in the first half ...

McGrady, who came back after a break, was really extraordinary. In the first quarter, he hit 5 three-pointers and helped Liu Mang get 4 assists in a single quarter. As a result, in the second and third quarters, McGrady added three points and 6 0 ... ... lively hit the hit rate.

Liu Mang felt that McGrady was like this every time. After a wave of anger, he wanted to follow Sao, but the results were quite Maddie's.

Wade's comeback is to ensure the continuity of defense in the rotation. Wade played 28 minutes. Although he only got 14 points and 4 rebounds and only two assists, the Hawks started to surround Liu Mang. The high-quality defense played continued.

115 to 91, the Eagles beat the Wizards by 24 points and scored an 8-game winning streak!

29 wins and 6 losses!

If you win another game, the Hawks can become the second team in the league to get 30 wins, and if you win another game, the Hawks will tie the Spurs ’season-high nine-game winning record!
