The Clippers and Spurs are ranked second and third in the West, respectively, and their strength has not changed much from last season.

The Spurs' lineup has hardly changed, the Clippers' improvement is mainly due to Paul Pierce, and the strength of the center position is still not good.

Spencer Hawes was injured soon after joining the Clippers, averaging only 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.5 minutes per game, and the Clippers' No. 5 position was flawed on both ends of the floor.

The Suns had a tepid performance and finished fourth in the West. They ultimately failed to poach point guard Kyle Lowry, who joined the Rockets on a three-year poison contract after leaving the Raptors. The Rockets want to poach stars for rebuilding, and the No. 1 position has always been a weakness.

The Suns can only renew Jeremy Lin's contract, and the lineup is almost unchanged from last season, without Guo Xu, the Suns will have no capital to attract stars to join. In the past, many second-rate stars wanted to join, but the sun didn't want them.

The fastest regressive team in the West is the Thunder, who started the season 6-13 and is likely to miss out on the playoffs.

Al Horford suffered a torn chest muscle and recuperated from an injury, and as soon as this inconspicuous three-man was sidelined, the Thunder players immediately became incapable of winning. They're all blue-collar on the inside, and there's not Steven Adams, who is on the Wizards.

Those who said Durant should have won last season's MVP have shut up, and now many are saying that Durant is overrated. Westbrook didn't get that kind of evaluation, because no one ever overestimated him, and they all said that he was a cancer.

The Thunder are two young people in each game in turns, and they can't see any tactical coordination, and head coach Scott Brooks is definitely going to leave class after this season, and he looks like a bastard.

The fastest regression team in the East is the 76ers, which is sliding faster than the Cavaliers who lost James.

The Cavaliers started the season with four wins, with Isaiah Thomas becoming the team's new core, averaging 22.3 points, 3 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, and Wesley Matthews also averaging 16.6 points per game, both of whom set career highs.

The 76ers started the season with a magical 1-19 record and a solid bottom of the league, including a wave of 15 straight losses.

Bryant and starting point guard Tony Rotten had another conflict, he felt that Rotten was a piece of waste, bad offense and defense, and was unwilling to pass the ball to him.

ROTTEN IS A TALL POINT GUARD WHO IS 198CM TALL AND WEIGHS 93 KILOGRAMS, AND HE HAS NO ROLE AT ALL WHEN HE IS A FIXED-POINT SHOOTER OUTSIDE THE THREE-POINT LINE. If Luo Teng wants to play, he has to break through with the ball and play blocking and dismantling with his teammates.

Kobe Bryant attacked with the ball, and Roteng could only wait for opportunities on the periphery, otherwise the penalty area would be crowded with people. He also wanted to change, averaging 4.7 three-point attempts per game, hitting 1.2 shots for a 26.1 percent shooting percentage.

This miserable three-point shooting percentage is already a new career high, and he has never shot more than 25% from three-point range.

As for defense, the 198CM Luo Teng mainly plays point guard, how can it be good to defend small speed guards? The slow speed of traversing causes him to be passed casually. If the 76ers send Ismael Smith, who is 183cm tall and weighs 79 kilograms, it will be poor in interfering shots and confrontations.

When Kobe Bryant joined, he said that he wanted to help the 76ers improve their record, and the implication was to compete with the Nets, but what face did he have when he played like this?

During training, Kobe Bryant was often dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates, and after losing to the Pistons, he openly sprayed Rotten's defense, thinking that he couldn't prevent the guard from breaking through.

Luo Teng was not polite to Kobe, and directly made a big move: "You can do it!" No, don't BB! ”

Coach Brett Brown knew that this would not work, so he arranged the tactics for Kobe Bryant to shoot threes from the outside and his teammates to take charge of the ball.

But Kobe Bryant still wanted the ball in the half, and threw two steps at the middle and long distance, averaging 6.3 three-point shots per game, with a shooting rate of 29.3%. The big two made 5.6 shots and shot 38.4 percent from the field.

This season, Bryant has completely lost his crosshairs, playing an average of 35 minutes per game, scoring 23.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists, shooting only 37.8% from the field and 47.7% from the field.

Kobe Bryant is not powerful if he doesn't play in the low post, but in recent years, his shooting distance has become more and more out, and the proportion of mid-to-long-range shots has reached a new high of more than 70%. He wanted to hit the basket but couldn't, Jordan Jr. is a center who can let go, and the opposing center doesn't go out at all near the restricted area, and Kobe Bryant's strong attack will be trapped.

The 36-year-old Bryant has no speed, no whistle, elbows will be whistled for offensive fouls, and it is difficult for him to get free throws by shooting. In the past, he was able to break through, averaging more than 7 free throws per game for more than a dozen consecutive seasons.

Jason Richardson, the team's most accurate three-point player, has suffered a recurrence of an old knee injury, and Kevin Garnett and Earl Clarke are in a slump. Parallel world forward Robert Covington, who plays for the 76ers, is now in the Rockets, and the Rockets are short of small forwards.

The most embarrassing thing is that as soon as Kobe Bryant left, the bottom Mavericks returned to the playoffs and are currently ranked 7th in the West. Their starters are Devin Harris, Monta Ellis, Andrew Wiggins, Chandler Parsons, center Tyson Chandler, and a big four.

The Mavericks' rotation lineup is led by Barria, Aminu, Jae Crowder, and Brandon White, who resolutely play small-ball tactics and focus on quick counterattacks. White, who was injured last season, has been in good form this season, new forward Anthony Tolivier has been fast, and the young Mavericks have been able to play up their offense.

The Mavericks can play pick-and-roll, have organized forwards, and guards are good at cutting and breaking, and keep running. When there was Kobe, the Mavericks couldn't run, so they could only settle down and wait for Kobe to play a triangle attack. If the guard doesn't wait for Kobe Bryant to break quickly, he will be threatened by the Death Glare after a few rounds.

Wiggins is not a "mamba" now, showing his talent to the fullest, playing an average of 35 minutes per game, scoring 15.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2 assists. His stats are mediocre, but they're good enough to compete for the rookie of the year.

Ellis also regained the energy of his time with the Lakers, averaging 19 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 33.6 minutes per game.

When the Mavericks won and the reporter asked Ellis to talk about his feelings, he said categorically: "Because Kobe Bryant is gone, that's why we can win." I've been teammates with him twice, and whether it's with the Lakers or the Mavericks, he's going to stick to his own style of play and disrupt the team's offensive system. ”

Barkley commented: "There are still people who are more unique than Kobe, and the last one happened to be a player with the 76ers. Many times, Iverson took the ball and did it alone, with a low shooting percentage and many mistakes, and finally lost the game alone. He can be said to be the most unique player in the league, and there is no one, in one sentence, it is to kill and not pass. ”

Many fans on the Internet discussed the "Big Four" of the year, all of whom were inefficient scorers, and in the end no one wanted them. Kobe Bryant was the most successful of them all, and he couldn't get out of this cycle.

Two of the four quarterbacks had no ball to play as early as 2010, and Carter wanted to hug his thighs and compete for the championship, so he had to join the Grizzlies with a base salary.

Bryant had the most balls, and in late December he set an alternate record, surpassing Havlicek to become the NBA's all-time iron king. And his average number of shots per game is only the third-highest in NBA history, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone.

Now many 76ers fans are suggesting that the team cut Kobe, and the management certainly won't do that. However, their goal has shifted from breaking through the second round of the playoffs to picking the top pick.

76ers owner Josh Harris didn't mention Kobe Bryant in an interview, and when asked about the bottom, he said with a wry smile: "We have to start rebuilding, don't say we deliberately play bad, we are really bad, not intentional to lose." ”

Many people were surprised to find that Josh's words were almost exactly the same as what Mavericks owner Cuban said last season......
