The game between the Nets and the Thunder was intense.

Like Durant said, Westbrook is playing better than ever.

But it's not that Westbrook has gotten stronger.

It sounds a bit paradoxical, but the truth is that Westbrook is less on the ball and more energy off the ball and defending.

Well, yes, Westbrook was defensive in the Thunder era.

Accordingly, Durant assumed more responsibility.

This is also an important reason why Durant is averaging high points per game. .

But it does prove to be the way to go.

So aside from the defensive counterattack, the two teams played a bit similar in positional warfare, both relying on a singles-derived strategy with a strong offensive point.

This looks like a true Texas Gemini showdown.

Durant is as versatile as Lin Ying, has no solution, and cannot be defended one-on-one.

The two teams fought fiercely until the end of the fourth quarter, when some subtle changes took place on the court.

The biggest difference between Durant and Lin Ying is also reflected.

Physical fitness, Durant's physical fitness is not enough.

So at the last moment forced, the ball went back to Westbrook.

Westbrook has shown confidence, and the organization is actually not bad.

But one or two of those rounds his picks were deadly.

For example, a break-through throws the ball directly to the Nets, or a break-pull jumper hits the timer.

Not much, just two rounds in total, which is a lot less than in the past few seasons.

But it's deadly enough.

Because the two evenly matched teams are fighting for a few details at the last moment.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Thunder 116-112.

This game can also see why the Thunder played well, but failed to surpass the Warriors and Spurs in record.

This isn't the first time they've had a night like this.

...

Time flies to the end of January.

The season is over halfway, and the pattern of the east and west is beginning to show.

The Warriors are the top team in the Western Conference, which is also the No. 1 team in the league.

They only lost 9 games in the half of the season, and the record of 40 wins and 9 losses is amazing.

According to this winning percentage, they are likely to reach 65+ wins this season.

That's incredible for a team that wasn't in contention for a title last season and whose biggest change in the offseason was the head coach.

Then there's the Spurs, who are just as amazing, trailing the Warriors with a 39-11 record.

Duncan had his best performance in years, and he really came with revenge.

The Thunder beat the Lakers and the Mavericks in third, with a record of 35 wins and 15 losses, although it was a notch worse than the Warriors and the Spurs, but it was good enough.

The Lakers are fourth with a 33-16 record.

The Mavericks are fifth with a 31-19 record.

The remaining Grizzlies, Clippers, and Trail Blazers occupy the remaining three spots.

The Cavaliers are the No. 1 team in the East, and they have also shown competitiveness as the run-in is over, with a record of 38 wins and 11 losses.

The Nets are second at 35-14.

The Eagles are third with a 33-16 record.

The Celtics are fourth at 31-18.

The Heat, Raptors, Wizards, and Bulls are ranked five to eight.

From the rankings and records, we can see the pattern of the East and West.

The overall strength of the Eastern Cavaliers is still more dominant, while the Nets, Eagles and Celtics occupy the second group.

The Western side is a standard mess. The Warriors and Spurs are slightly more competitive overall, but the Thunder, Lakers and Mavericks are not bad at all.

This year's uncertainty should be the largest in recent years.

It was at this time that the results of the All-Stars were released one after another.

Lin Ying won the vote again.

It is worth mentioning that only Lin Ying was selected for the All-Star Game this year by the Nets.

However, Jokic was successfully selected for the rookie game with his excellent performance.

Lin Ying won't look too lonely in the All-Star Game.

Although actually because this year's All-Star Game is played at Madison Square Garden, he can go home and sleep after the game.

*With all-star list

West starters: Curry, Kobe, Durant, Griffin, Yao Ming

Western Reserves: Westbrook, Paul, Harden, Klay Thompson, Aldridge, Duncan, Marc Gasol

...

Blink of an eye to mid-February, after fans have been waiting for a long time, the 2015 All-Star Game kicked off at Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks.

On the first day of the rookie match, Lin Ying appeared on the sidelines with Swift and Xiao Lin Yi, and also sat in the front row of the audience.

Well, Kobayashi Yi even ran on the court before the game to chase after him.

These first- and second-year rookies all knew the identity of Xiao Lin Yi, and they were chased all over the field, which was quite lively for a while.

This scene is very similar to the scene where the general's son frolics in the military camp in the movie.

Kobayashi's future life and basketball are destined to be inseparable.

The rules of the Rookie Challenge have changed every year in the past few years. In the first two years, the team was formed by famous candidates. This year, it changed back to the international team VS the US team.

Jokic is naturally on the international team. He is on a team with Wiggins, Antetokounmpo, Gobert, Schroder, Mirotic and others.

The US team is led by Noel, Oladipo and LaVine.

After the game started, the international team quickly gained the upper hand.

Although the rules are changing, the rookies are still freshmen and sophomores, and this will not change.

From the quality of the team and the situation after the start of the game, it can be seen that the talent of NBA international players in the past two years is better than that of the United States.

And most importantly, Jokic is very excited to play.

Not only did he continue to show off his handwork of "appointing the teacher", but he also hit the basket several times.

In the past two months, he has been serious about losing weight and gaining muscle. Compared with the beginning of the season, the confrontation has been greatly improved.

And the US team is in good condition on the outside, but the inside is really good, and no one except Noel can see it.

This also gave Jokic a lot of opportunities.

In the end, the International team won the game with a 121-112 victory over the United States.

Statistics.

On the international side, Wiggins contributed a game-high 25 points, Jokic contributed a triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and Gobert had 12 points and 16 rebounds.

On the US team's side, Oladipo contributed a team-high 22 points, LaVine 12 points, and Noel 12 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.

The final rookie match mvp selection results came out. Following Lin Ying and Durant, the rookie match once again shared the situation.

Wiggins and Jokic share the honor.

Although it is not as legendary as the Texas Twins, the outstanding performance of the two still makes people feel a little "new era".

The first day of the All-Star Game was quite interesting.

After the single event on the second day, the highlights were further increased.

This day became very interesting because of the three-point contest with "Splash Brothers".

Facts also proved that the fans' expectations were not in vain. The "Splash Brothers" performed well in the preliminaries and advanced to the final together with Owen.

Thompson even shot the highest score of 24 points in the preliminaries, Curry and Irving also scored 23 points.

This result is very interesting, whether it is the "Splash Brothers" infighting or Owen's victory over "Splash".

In the finals, Irving, Curry and Thompson came on stage one after another.

Irving had just 17 points.

Although his heart is not small, the three-point shooting competition requires ability in addition to the heart, and Irving is not good at three-point shooting.

Curry, who came on the scene next, was the loudest.

In addition to the tactical system brought by Kerr, another important reason for the rise of the Warriors this season is Curry's performance.

In this year's All-Star Game voting, Curry's votes beat James and Durant and others, second only to Lin Ying.

Curry also lived up to expectations, throwing 27 points under the pressure to break the scoring record in the three-point contest.

Although this is a new record after the addition of the flower ball, it is enough to show how strong Curry's three-pointer is.

Lin Ying also got up and applauded Curry.

Although as a traveler, he knew that Curry would be king in the three-point shooting contest this year, but it was still shocking to watch Curry's game live.

The last Thompson Alexander.

Fans also expect Thompson to turn the tide and win the "Splash Brothers" civil war.

But unfortunately, Thompson's final performance was the same as in history, and he played abnormally under heavy pressure, and finally only scored 14 points.

Curry was crowned the three-pointer for the first time in his career.

The three-point shooting contest has made fans' appetites high.

Originally, fans didn't have much expectations for the dunk contest, but LaVine's performance surprised everyone.

He easily beat the Oladipo Masked Slam Dunk Contest champion.

Fans even felt that he didn't use his full strength.

Although he was average for the Cavaliers, his performance made it clear that he was no ordinary dunk.

On the third day of the All-Star Game, Lin Ying played very well.

It's been a tiring season, and he doesn't want to spend too much in the All-Star Game.

Fortunately, this All-Star Game is not short of highlights.

On the East side, James was eager to prove that he played extra hard, and Durant on the West side was also full of firepower.

In the end, the overall strength of the West Army was even better, defeating the East Army 163 to 153.

Durant contributed the highest 41 points in the Western Division and was successfully elected as the MVP of the All-Star Game, the second time in his career that he has won this honor.

His performance also gave Thunder fans more prospects for this season.

After the All-Star Game, fans were still discussing the performances of Curry, LaVine and Durant on social media.

But management is already busy with the looming trade deadline.

The Nets are also active.

They're going all out to sell Joe Johnson.

The team spent half a season waiting for Johnson's state to recover, but Johnson eventually pulled.

A thing that is not known to the outside world, Walkendian has been discussing with Karl to let Johnson play the bench and let Claude play the start.

Against these backdrops, it's all too normal for Johnson to be on the shelf.

It's just that Johnson's contract is still a year and a half left, and the Nets are also very difficult to deal with.

Another name that appeared on the trading market was somewhat surprising.

The Celtics could potentially send Garnett away.

Not leaving Pierce in the offseason has shown Ainge's cold-blooded side, and Garnett has been so old this season, it's not surprising that Ainge cleaned him up.

After all, the Celtics now have Rondo, Butler and Howard, and they must be aiming for results.

Another person caught in the trade rumors was a little surprised. It was McAway, who just won the Rookie of the Year with the 76ers last season.

But just like 76ers fans couldn't understand general manager Hinkie's previous actions, they couldn't understand this time either.

If I have to explain it, Hinkie is picking the core of the team, and any player who does not meet his expectations will be sent away by him at the highest value.

Also under the many rumors, the 2015 NBA trade deadline arrived as scheduled.

Unlike the past few seasons, the trading market this year is really lively.

The Heat took the lead, and they reached a three-way deal with the Nuggets and the Rockets.

They sent Lawson and a future first-rounder to Dragic from the Nuggets.

The Nuggets got some expiring contracts from the Rockets and the Heat's first round, sending Dragic.

The Rockets used the expiring contract in exchange for Lawson.

This tripartite deal takes what it takes.

The Heat need to upgrade their point guard and send Anthony's "old party" along with them; the Nuggets need to straighten Wiggins; the Rockets get their favorite Lawson.

Immediately after, the Thunder also shot ~lightnovelpub.net~ They sent Perkins and Timothy, and traded Kanter from the Jazz.

Both sides have expired contracts, but the Thunder, which is aiming to rush to the championship, needs to supplement its interior strength.

Well, this is reinforcement, and there is a stop loss.

Detonator's draft vision is amazing, but the level of operation will not let people "disappointed".

They traded away Reggie Jackson and got DJ Augustin and Kyle Singler from the Pistons.

There is only one reason for making this transaction. Jackson is also unwilling to reduce his salary and renew his contract, and his slightly piercing personality made the management choose a stop-loss transaction.

But the good thing about this deal is that Durant and Augustin are teammates.

The University of Texas Gemini became famous in the NBA back then, but they were the tridents in college, and Augustine was the one...

Then, several transactions that were rumored before have also been settled one after another.

The Celtics sent Garnett "home" and acquired Thaddeus Young from the Timberwolves.

The 76ers reached a deal with the Suns and Bucks, McAway was sent to the Bucks, Brandon Knight went to the Suns, and the 76ers got an expired contract and draft rights.

It is worth mentioning that before the deal was reached, Nash had already announced on social media that he would retire after the end of the season.

The Suns acquired Knight in response to Nash's retirement.

As for the Nets.

The Nets were unable to trade Joe Johnson in the end, but they traded Ian Mahinmi from the Pacers with a special $5 million trade exception and two second-round picks from Terry.

ps: Two books are pushed today.

A book called "NBA: The Lakers Grab Kobe Bryant at the Start" is also about sports.

The other one is called "Swords All Beings", by Xianxia.
