Chapter 493 Happy people and depressed people
January just passed.
There are two people in the league whose moods can be said to be completely opposite.
The one who is in such a good mood is Chris Paul.
Today's Hornets are 32 wins and 13 losses.
Second in the West and third in the league.
It is a solid championship-level team.
Paul himself is still only a third-year player with an annual salary of $362 million.
His personal leadership ability has been recognized in many aspects.
In terms of personal data, he is now averaging 12.4 assists per game.
There are only 10 players in the league averaging more than 5 assists per game.
Kidd averaged 10.1 assists per game.
I just joined the Mavericks, and there is still a period of adaptation.
Deron Williams averages 10.5 per game.
But with his ball rights in the team, this is almost his limit.
Nash averaged 11.1 assists per game.
Nash will be 34 years old soon.
That's pretty much where his potential ends.
By the way, there is also the most difficult one.
Zhou Yao averaged 12 assists per game.
Obviously, this is not Zhou Yao's limit.
but.
The Bobcats' losing streak in January was enough to worry him.
The whole team is exhausted.
Zhou Yao himself must be quite tired.
In these games, his data has declined seriously.
If this continues, he should be out of contention for the assist title soon.
The Hornets are becoming more and more competitive now.
Chris Paul himself is becoming increasingly competitive.
This year's All-Stars.
Although Paul is not the starter, a substitute spot should be indispensable.
Some people also say that Paul has a chance to enter the best team this season.
It just depends on which team the best team is.
To exaggerate, some people even say that Paul has a chance to win MVP.
Although, this is certainly not the youngest mvp.
Even if you want to be elected, it is actually very unlikely.
However, being able to vote is also a kind of recognition.
Even none of these.
Can become the assist king this season.
It is also Paul's first important honor after entering the league.
From Paul's point of view, he now looks down on things like the best rookie.
I hope that the Bobcats will continue to be in the doldrums and Zhou Yao will also continue to be in the doldrums.
……
The person in a good mood is Paul.
It was Howard who was in a bad mood.
Speaking of which, the Magic's record is pretty good.
27 wins and 20 losses.
They are also a strong team in the playoffs.
Especially in the east.
Although no one thinks the Magic have a chance to win the championship.
But they are also working in this direction.
However, they just lost to the Celtics and then to the Heat.
These are all powerful rivals for the Magic to get out of the Eastern Conference.
It's no wonder Howard is in a bad mood.
Especially losing to the Heat.
O'Neal will be 36 soon.
Howard thought he could compete with the old shark.
Unfortunately, in the head-on confrontation, he lost again.
"Isn't this guy going to age?"
Howard couldn't help but complain.
Where does he know.
This season is regarded by O'Neal as his last chance.
It can almost be said that he is risking his life.
The data of 25 points and 15 rebounds may not have been a big deal back then.
Now, especially when facing Howard.
O'Neal really did his best.
However, seeing Kobe leave him can lead the team to the finals.
O'Neal had to use all his strength to fight.
Kobe can lead the Lakers to the Finals.
He has to do it with the heat.
He has to win the championship first before that poisonous snake.
Defeating a mere Howard doesn't satisfy O'Neal.
And Howard and his Magic team can only swallow the bitter pill of failure.
on the other hand.
In terms of personal data, Howard also felt distressed.
This year is Howard's contract year, and he also wants to produce a good report card.
Although, no matter what, the Magic management will come up with a big contract waiting for him to sign.
This season, Howard has played very hard.
He also initially established his dominance at the basket.
However, he did not gain any advantage in the contest with O'Neal.
That's all.
O'Neal averaged less than 9 rebounds per game this season.
Howard is now averaging 14.2 rebounds per game.
Ranked second in rebounding.
Yes, Howard, who averaged 14.2 rebounds per game, is only second.
After all, there is a guy who's performance is really abnormal this season.
11 month 23 day.
It was in the game against the Magic.
That guy grabbed 59 rebounds in front of Howard.
Still the same guy.
January is the most difficult month for the team.
The lowest rebounds in a single game were never less than 15.
Also in January.
That guy had 8 games with over 20 rebounds.
In this regard, Howard can only say.
"Coach, come out and see God."
Howard worked hard and only averaged 14.2 rebounds per game.
That guy is averaging 14.3 right now.
It just crushed him.
Howard just wants to say now.
"I'm averaging 1.3 assists per game now. If not, I'll play point guard!"
"Coach, I don't want to be a center anymore!"
……
In addition to Howard, there is another person who is also depressed.
Pau Gasol of the Grizzlies.
Gasol will turn 28 this summer.
This is also the seventh season in the league.
However, Gasol has never tasted winning in the playoffs.
The Grizzlies were last in the league last season.
You could have drawn a good lot based on this and tried to see if there was any chance of reinforcement.
Unfortunately, the management traded the first-round pick to the Bobcats early.
Look at Durant and Oden.
This season, the Grizzlies look like they won't make the playoffs again.
Gasol wants to go to a championship team.
The Lakers seemed like the best place to be.
The Lakers also said they could talk.
However, no matter how you look at it, the sincerity of the Lakers management is insufficient.
Maurice Williams plus a first-round pick this year.
At most, add Heshengzhen or Tianwo Yongtai.
There is no such thing as this value.
William Mo’s growth is obvious to all.
And this is a point guard who served as a substitute for Zhou Yao.
Not bad as a trading chip.
But it also depends on who is doing the transaction.
As for the Lakers' first-round pick.
With the Lakers' record, it's worthless.
As for Hesheng Town and Tian Wo Yongtai.
Even die-hard Lakers fans, few can name these two guys.
Aren't these two guys that the Lakers signed because they wanted to sell more broadcast fees?
Are you too embarrassed to use it as a trading chip?
But no matter what, Gasol can't join the Lakers now.
Gasol isn't the only one frustrated with this.
There are also many fans who cannot understand this.
Gasol was also selected as an All-Star as a substitute.
If they can get such a player, shouldn't the Lakers' pursuit of the championship be more stable?
Isn't the condition offered by the Lakers basically tantamount to rejection?
In other words, the Lakers are very satisfied with the current lineup...
