Rasheed Wallace is recovering well from his injury, better than expected, and will be able to resume training soon.
But McGrady is indeed tired. He has been fighting continuously and carrying the team forward with high scores. After a long time, the pressure will be great.
His current position in the scoring list is already quite close to Iverson. Iverson averaged 31.3 points per game and McGrady averaged 31.1 points per game.
He and Iverson are also the two players who averaged more than 30 points per game this season. The third player in the scoring list is Shaquille O'Neal with an average of 27.2 points per game. The gap is far away. The fourth is Paul Pierce with 26.1 points. .
The "K" of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, only ranked sixth in the scoring list, averaging 6 points per game, 25.2 points less than Duncan's scoring average per game.
In the away game against the Mavericks, McGrady missed a game because of a slight muscle strain in his leg.
The Eagles' winning streak came to an abrupt end, with 15 consecutive victories, which just broke the team history record and only improved by 1 game.
However, the team's pressure is also released, and they no longer have to carry the pressure of winning streak to move forward.
After this game, the All-Star voting officially ended. McGrady became the All-Star vote leader with 150 million votes, and Carter came in second with only 130 million votes.The overall vote count was more than 20 fewer than last season.
This year's All-Star Game will be held in Philadelphia.The race is on February 2th, and there is still about half a month left.
McGrady did not sign up for other activities. Although the league hoped that he could participate in the dunk contest or the three-point contest, McGrady declined the invitation.
Without Carter, the slam dunk contest will be even uglier, and it will be uglier for several years.Carter has played dunks to the fullest. Few people have turned dunks into art like him, with both violent visual impact and elegant aesthetics.
In the next few games, the Eagles finally ushered in the comeback of Rasheed Wallace. Although the team also suffered some minor injuries, they were generally controllable.
The rhythm of the game was very good, and the team entered the winning streak again.
After losing to the Mavericks, they defeated the Bulls and Bucks one after another.
Facing the Mosaic team at home, although Mosaic has a very positive attitude, the combination of Francis and Mobley cannot beat the Eagles at all.
Can only fail miserably.In this game, McGrady scored a season-high 62 points, which increased his personal scoring average this season by nearly 0.1 points. The terrible number is a little closer to Iverson's scoring average.
"We will never play badly!" After the game, Tomjanovich continued to shout the team's slogan, they will not play badly.If it is bad, it is very likely to win the No. [-] lottery. They have already sent the lottery to the Eagles. How can they draw the No. [-] pick and give it to the Eagles?
All Mosaic wants is a better record, and all he can do is work hard, but the hard work of the weak cannot splash water.
The Mosaic team can still accept the 2002 first-round pick, because according to the current evaluation, the quality of this year's rookies is very average, and there are no top players.Even worse than the 2001 rookie.
Especially on the other side of the ocean, the China National Basketball Association has not yet released it. If there is no potential new star like Yao Ming, the quality of this year's rookies will be even lower.
In this class of rookies, apart from Yao Ming, there are only a few other rookies left, including Stoudemire, Nene Hilario, Carlos Boozer, and Caron Butler.
After defeating Mosaic, the Eagles continued to soar.They have become the third place in the East and are still consolidating their momentum.There is still 1 win away from the Celtics, and 2.5 wins away from the top Nets.
The hole dug in the early stage was too big, and it was necessary to fill it up later, which was really stressful.
The focus of the Eagles is not on the current record. As long as they stay in the top four, they can rest assured to adjust their lineup and adjust their tactics.
Carlisle has grown a lot. With the cooperation of Stotts and Thibodeau, the offensive tactical design and defensive concept of the coaching staff are quite advanced and targeted, and can be adjusted according to changes in the opponent.
Inside the team, Tracy McGrady suppressed everyone. Under his leadership, the team's thinking is not biased, and everyone can release the greatest effect.
After defeating the Magic, Pistons, and Timberwolves, they lost to the elite Lakers by a small score, ending their 6-game winning streak.Once again started a small wave of winning streak, the Pistons, Wizards, and Clippers could not stop the Eagles.
Throughout January, the Hawks lost only two games, McGrady once again won the best player of the month.
His call to become the MVP of the regular season is gradually rising.
"In fact, compared to the team's record, I hope that the team will continue to win, rather than give up the team's running-in and the tacit understanding between teammates for the regular season MVP." McGrady said in front of the media.
It was still calm and breezy, as if he only wanted the record and nothing else.At present, McGrady is only ranked 5th in the MVP selection. It is too difficult to rise up, so he might as well score more points and get along with his teammates more.
In some games, he didn't play for a long time, and his scoring average remained at around 31 points per game, biting Iverson tightly.
After defeating the New York Knicks on February 2002, 2, all NBA teams entered a brief period of recuperation.
Next is the All-Star Weekend, the league's "halftime" time, for the stars to have fun.
The players for the Philadelphia All-Star Game are revealed.East: Tracy McGrady is the All-Star ticket king, and of course occupies the starting position in the East. Along with him, Mutombo, Antawn Walker, Jordan and Iverson are also in the starting lineup.
Carter missed the All-Star start due to injury, and Jordan replaced him.Yes, Jordan is that Jordan. He came back in the Wizards, and then averaged more than 20 points per game, and entered the All-Star Game.Also absent due to injury is Jermaine O'Neal.
Eastern bench players Jason Kidd, Pierce, Ray Allen, Mourning, Raheem and Baron Davis, of which Pierce and Davis entered the All-Star Game for the first time.
In the west, the starting list is equally exciting. Kobe is the ticket king in the west, along with Duncan, Garnett, Webber and Steve Francis.
Well, O'Neal withdrew from the All-Star weekend because of a toe injury, which made him less happy.O'Neal and O'Neal were absent due to injuries at the same time, which is a bit interesting.
The bench lineup for the West is Gary Payton, Nowitzki, Peja, Szczerbiak, Nash and Elton Brand.
From the perspective of personnel, the internal and external lines in the west are balanced, and the allocation is more reasonable.
Nets head coach Scott and Mavericks head coach Don Nelson, because the team's record ranked first, became the head coaches on both sides.
Heidi, vice president of the NBA, was very proud of the media, "This year's All-Star Game has 5 international players, which is the most international players in the previous All-Star Games."
It proves that the NBA's international market development has entered a new stage.At the same time that Heidi held a press conference, Stern was in talks with Chambers.He wanted to know that Chambers and Arne Traum were both in China some time ago, and they had talks with the China National Basketball Association, and how effective they were.
There are Chinese players in the Eagles. If they can take advantage of the opportunity to open up the Chinese market, such a result is what Stern hopes to see the most.
Once upon a time, in order to allow China to broadcast NBA games, Stern went to China alone and blew cold wind at the door of CCTV for a long time, just in exchange for CCTV to broadcast NBA games.
