On 1st month, the NHA official website announced the best rookie in the East and West in February, and the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin and New York Knicks' Landry Ferdith won the awards.

In February, Ferdith averaged BB's second place in rookies, ranked third in nine rebounds and topped the rookies' list with two steals. He started 13 games for the Knicks last month, scoring more than double digits in six games, and five games with rebounds reaching or exceeding 10.

Griffin averaged 2.0 points per game last month, topped the rookie list, 13.6 rebounds, ranked third in rookie list, 087 steals, second in second in B9 assists, and ranked first in rookie list in 3.6 minutes of playing time.

After that, the player of the month was the best player in February. Chamberlain was naturally the best player in the Western Conference because the Warriors led by him won all in February, and he also scored 3 points, 17.6 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Now Chamberlain is leading the major list in all aspects. He is the voter leader in the All-Star vote, and he is also the first in the M rankings. He is far away from Rose, who ranked second. As for James, Mr. Mp last season, there are still a series of problems waiting to be solved by the Heat, so he is only ranked fourth.

After the Warriors have finished fighting the Grizzlies, they are going to see the Mavericks next.

After losing to the Warriors, the Grizzlies rushed to Los Angeles the next day and defeated the second-place Lakers in the away game back-to-back match.

The Grizzlies led the score from the first quarter to the fourth quarter in this game, and some of the team scored and broke through double digits, among which Guy and Randolph teamed up to score points.

Although Kobe, the Lakers star, scored all the points in the second half, no teammate in the team could help him, only power forward Gasol (］ points) and substitute Brown (］ points) scored more than double digits.

That night, Lakers fans rarely gave booing to their beloved star Kobe and his teammates.

In this game, the Lakers lost to their opponents rebounds, assists and steals. Although the shooting percentage is one percentage point higher than the Grizzlies, they can shoot fewer shots than the opponent. On the contrary, the mistakes are more than the opponent.

Lakers coach Jackson said helplessly: "We were defeated by our opponents in every link tonight."

Grizzlies coach Hollins said that although the Lakers have had several small climaxes in the game, he stopped in time to slow down and disrupt their pace, and gradually let the game enter their pace. "As long as our team plays at a level, they can still compete with powerful teams like the Lakers."

After the game, someone interviewed Hollings and asked him the difference between the Warriors and the Lakers, the two top Western Conference teams. Hollings considered it and said cautiously: "To defeat the Lakers, you just need to make the players perform well, and to defeat the Warriors, what you need is to make Chamberlain perform abnormally, otherwise everything will be useless."

Hollins's answer was a fuel to the fire. Kobe was really angry. He roared to the reporter during an interview: "Aren't you guys the best at writing some emotional sensation? Then now is the time for you to do something. Players may not read newspapers, but fans will read them, and they will put pressure on us during the game. This is a win-win thing, bringing us tension, and you can also sell more newspapers."

How frustrated should Kobe be that he thought of asking reporters for help? In fact, in recent times, Kobe has been emphasizing that he hopes to use his own efforts to awaken his teammates.

"I am a very self-encouraging person, but after I talked with my teammates, I don't know what to find to motivate them." Kobe said. "Everyone seems to be thinking about that far-reaching goal now, but he doesn't know that only by fighting one game after another can he achieve that goal."

Kobe is very sober. Even though he believed in his own efforts to bring victory to the team, it is by no means the reason for taking crazy actions now. He understands the importance of his teammates. He wants to awaken his teammates in his own way and get their help.

His mistake, perhaps only after a series of failures, still did not realize that this was not a correct and effective way, and even had a counterproductive effect - his teammates had complained, Gasol said: "We are always not smart enough," and even Bynum said: "We should let the ball hit the inside more."

No wonder Kobe is in a hurry. The Lakers are indeed having problems now. This team is getting further and further away from the Purple and Gold Legion that competes with the Warriors.

In the last four games, the Lakers scored only 3 points, and the opponent's net win was above 15 points: 79-6 Bucks, 8-3 Heat, and 8-97 Spurs.

Without any injuries or illness, what happened to the Lakers is the hottest topic in the NHA at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

For the Lakers who are determined to win the championship, there is really nothing to make a fuss about losing a few games in February and 1 month. However, in these four consecutive defeats, the Lakers' low combat effectiveness, speed of collapse, and long duration are rare in the three seasons since Gasol came.

In the past two seasons, the Lakers have also been relaxed, but there is Komatsu, and there is no big slack, and there has never been such a continuous collapse like this time. In addition, in the past, the Lakers were able to tighten after being relaxed, and often relaxed in the third quarter and tighten in the fourth quarter. But now the Lakers often collapsed thousands of miles away, loosened in the third quarter, and completely collapsed in the fourth quarter.

Taking the game of defeating the Grizzlies as an example, the Lakers were actually quite focused in the first half, giving the Grizzlies 9 big hats on defense. Although they were temporarily behind, their position was not messed up.

At the beginning of the second half, Kobe stepped forward. Kobe's single fight was always the focus of controversy, but in this battle, facing the Grizzlies' powerful inside players: Gasol Jr. and Randolph, Gasol Grocery and Bynum did not take advantage of it. In the first half, he relied on the inside offense and could not start the situation. Kobe's breakthrough was urgently needed to echo the outside offense.

However, while Kobe fired and scored continuously, the other four players on the field suddenly became wooden stakes and completely lost their desire to play. Not only did they not respond positively to Kobe, but they gave Kobe all the balls, not one to cut, two to grab the board, and three to retreat.

As a result, although Kobe scored 17 points in one quarter, the Lakers only scored 2 points, the Grizzlies counterattacked repeatedly, and the Lakers collapsed in the blink of an eye.

A glimpse of the game. After watching this game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that some problems in the Lakers may be problems of mutual understanding or basketball philosophy.

As he grows older and his athletic ability decreases, Kobe needs to adjust his playing style and mentality. The group of teammates led by Gasol must also be clear that it is no longer the time for the Lakers to win the championship.

As for the highly-watched Heat Big Three, the situation is even worse now. After James brought his talent to the South Coast, he was shocked to find that everything was not what he thought.

Wade needs to have the ball in hand to keep threatening, which James does not reject. His offensive ability without the ball is also the top in the league, and the problem lies with Bosh.

The reason why James is so passionate about the Big Three is that he actually values ​​Bosh's ability. In the past, because of Bosh's technical reasons and the Raptors' tactics, Bosh can play very good data every time he meets the Warriors - Bosh is floating and throwing outside, can't Chamberlain follow him, right?

Now the problem is that Bosh is positioned as a pillar among the Big Three, but he can't play the inside at all, and he doesn't play the inside at all - James and Wade both need to hit the ring to maintain the deterrence, and enough space must be left in the penalty area.

So, Bosh took advantage of this reason and simply stopped taking the inside and focused on running to the outside to invest.

His idea is very good. How tired is the internal muscles colliding? And they are easily injured. How can they be comfortable when floating on the outside to shoot?

This will make the Heat team suffer. Although there are Haslem, Danpier and other powerful men in the interior, Haslem is trapped by his talent. He is too short and is destined to do anything in the interior. Danpier and the big fans cannot blame the two old men who are over 70 years old together.

The East is now in a melee. The Celtics, Magic and Heat are originally the three most favored teams. The Celtics have an age crisis, the Magic's lineup is problematic, and the Heat have poor running-in. In this way, new troops such as the Hawks and Bucks have a chance to emerge.

The Magic have also invested a lot in the past two years. It may be the painful lessons of the sharks O'Neal and McGrady in the past. They still remember them freshly. Now, in order to keep Howard, the efforts made the players have to sigh that this is a conscientious boss.

Just at the beginning of the new year, a deal appeared: The Washington Wizards and Orlando Magic started first, the Magic sent Rashad Lewis to Washington, and the Wizards sent Gilbert River Rinas to Orlando.

The Wizards have always wanted to send Arenas away, who has become one of the most troubled players in Washington in recent years.

Although Arenas helped the Wizards to enter the playoffs for the first time in 10 years and was selected as the All-Star with Caron Butler, Antoine Jamison and others, last season, Arenas brought guns into the Wizards' home vrtu center locker room for violating league regulations and pointed at each other with a gun with a gun, so he was suspended by the league for 6 games. This season's preseason, Arenas was also suspended by the team for fraudulent injury.

Arenas' knee injury has always been a big problem. It was because of the injury that he only played 47 games in a season, but this season, whether it was playing side by side with No. 1 pick John Wall or leading the team alone, Arenas has shown some of the past's shining points.

The General made a comeback this season and performed quite well, which gave the Wizards confidence to sell him.

So far, he can contribute 17-point and 6 assists per game, so his joining will also bring some things they have been missing to the Magic. When facing some strong teams in the league this season, the outside performance cannot satisfy the team. Arenas's arrival can improve some situations.

The Magic's new general manager Smith said at a press conference that Arenas was suspended for six games due to gun possession and preseason fraud were not a problem.

"His contract length and injury may be something I care more about. His contract is still very long, and you always worry about the team taking too much, which is a question I have always considered. I understand some of the troubles Gilbert has off the court, and I also know what kind of person he is."

Lewis averaged only 2.2 points per game this season and shot only 4 from the field, both of which were the lowest in the past 10 years.

This season, Lewis was placed more as a small forward by head coach Stan Van Gundy, and it was obvious that he was not used to it. In the previous seasons, Lewis served as the team's power forward. Since his shooting range was outside the three-point line, he could flexibly switch on the court.

This season, the team gave Brandon Bass more time to play the number four he is familiar with.

Arenas has four years and $860,000 contracts. Two years ago, he signed a huge contract of 6 years and $100 million with the team, while Lewis still has 660,000 yuan in annual contracts. He also signed a maximum salary contract with the Magic in 207. However, his contract of $260,000 in the last year of $220-13 is guaranteed to be only 1.06 million. However, if Lewis' performance from now on can improve and complete certain terms stipulated in the contract, the amount of guarantee will increase.

For this transaction, it can be said that two teams holding garbage contracts made the transaction, each giving out a garbage contract, and then signing another one back.
