List of high-quality authors On February 6, Beijing time, in the past night, there were 3 messages from the NBA, let's take a look.
The little card deserves its name
Today, the NBA officially announced the list of Player of the Week in the East and West last week, with Hawks guard Trae Young in the East and Clippers star Leonard in the West. Last week, Trae Young played in three games, averaging 31 points, 1 rebound and 11 rebounds per game3 assists 17 steals and 56 percent shooting9% and 64 percent from three-point range5%, leading the Eagles to win all three games; Leonard played in 4 games, averaging 29 per game8 points, 8 rebounds, 35 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, shooting a whopping 56 from three6%, 48% and 100%, helping the Clippers to a 3-1 record.
It is worth mentioning that Leonard's performance last week is a microcosm of his excellent form in the last two months, in December and January, Leonard 10 times 20+, 7 times 30+, 1 time 40+, 3 shooting rates as high as 58%, 51% and 91%, selected to the 200 club, he played 24 games in the Clippers with a proud record of 21 wins and 3 losses. However, because he missed four games in December, he clocked in multiple three quarters in January, and the data was not explosive enough, which led to Leonard's regrettable loss to Thunder star Alexander in the competition for the best of the month. This time, Leonard's election as the best of the week can be said to be late but deserved!
The Lakers are on the way
Today, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, after a detailed examination and evaluation, Lakers forward Vanderbilt suffered a midmetatarsal sprain in his right foot and is expected to be conservative** and will be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks. On February 2, in the Lakers' victory over the Green Army, Vanderbilt accidentally twisted his foot during a ball grab, and then looked very painful, went straight back to the locker room, and withdrew from the game. The initial post-game diagnosis was less than ideal, and it is likely that he will undergo repair surgery, and the Lakers are even ready for Vanderbilt's season reimbursement. Now, Vanderbilt won't have surgery and will be back in as little as a month is fortunate news, given that his passion, defense and energy are all integral factors for the Lakers to go far this season.
At the same time, there is also good news for the Lakers, the Lakers officially announced that the statue of the team's famous Kobe Bryant will be unveiled on February 8 local time (February 9, Beijing time), and officially opened to the outside world on February 9 (February 10, Beijing time). The Lakers' move not only pays tribute to Kobe Bryant and expresses his recognition of his contributions, but also can inspire fans to feel interested and belonging, bringing more ticket revenue and off-court economic benefits.
I just don't know if Kobe's statue will be his iconic step-back jumper or the classic jersey biting action, which is also quite exciting.
The 24+25 inside line was robbed
Today, Michael Scotto reported that the Bulls put Drummond on the trade shelf and have attracted interest from the Lakers, Celtics, Suns, Mavericks and others. Drummond, 30 years old, is 211m, weighs 126kg, plays as a center on the court, he is the 9th pick in the first round in 12, and has played in 835 games in his NBA career in 12 years, averaging 27 per game4 minutes to get 128 points 124 rebounds 13 assists 13 steals 13 blocks, 2-time All-Star, 1-time All-NBA, 4-time rebounding champion.
Although Drummond's competitive level is no longer as good as his peak as he gets older and has many injuries, he is still a very good blue-collar interior player, with 15 rebounds in double figures this season and 24 points and 25 rebounds against the Hawks. For teams looking to add depth to the interior, Drummond, who is big, tall and has long arms, and a small contract ($336w this season), is definitely a great value for money to pursue, as he can help with rim protection, rebounding, covering, and inside pie-eating. It will be interesting to see which team will get the rebounding monster Drummond in the end.
