The Bulls defeated the weak Hornets back to back, relying on defense, and they killed their opponents little by little.

Under Okafor and Gerald Wallace, the Hornets defended well, but they did not have a reliable scoring point.

Compared with last season, Okafor has made no progress. On the other hand, the Magic No. 1 Dwight Howard played better and better. The Magic has paid off for high school students' gambling.

Back at home, the Bulls lost to the Suns.

Wang Jun scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, but the Suns' offense was stronger.

Nash's organization, Marion's empty cut, Cote Thomas can shoot mid-range shots after pick-and-roll, and the two outside pitchers ensure three-point shooting.

In terms of substitutes, Boris Dior made obvious progress and became the team's second organization point, with a comprehensive skill set of a quasi-triple double. Barbosa can break through and shoot, and the speed of counterattack makes people unable to defend.

What annoyed the Bulls fans the most was Tim Thomas. After being cut by the Bulls, he joined the Suns freely and was immediately reborn. His data increased to 11 points and 5 rebounds, and his three-point shooting percentage was 43%, providing firepower for the Suns substitute lineup.

He was obviously lazy and was laid off on purpose, and he was unwilling to be a marginal person in the Bulls. Now he is entering the contract year and is starting to fight for the next big contract and exert his strength.

While Wang Jun lost, Kobe Kobe got angry in the West.

In the Lakers' home game against the Mavericks, Kobe scored 62 points in three quarters and led the team to victory.

Kobe scored 15 points in the first quarter and also performed normally in the second quarter to score 17 points. However, he suddenly found the touch in the third quarter and scored 30 points, turning the game into a personal show.

62 points allowed Kobe's previous personal highest scoring record to be over. In 2002, the Lakers played against the Grizzlies, Kobe scored 56 points in a single game. 62 points was also the second highest individual single game score in the Lakers' history.

Because Wang Jun has performed this season. Kobe has not only received praise, but also many fans say that he played too alone.

Kobe made 18 of 32 shots in the whole game, 4 of 10 three-pointers and 22 of 25 free throws. He also scored 8 rebounds and 3 steals without assists. He didn't want to pass the ball at all, just do it alone, and 25 free throws in three quarters were also the most exaggerated performance of the season.

This triggered a verbal battle between the prince and Komi.

Komi said that Wang Jun was 60+ in three quarters and it was nothing great, Kobe could do it, and scored more points.

The prince laughed at Kobe for not assisting, and broke the free throws in most players' career single-game free throw records. The home whistle was obvious, and the opponent would have to make free throws even if he blew his breath at him.

The reporter also interviewed Wang Jun and asked him to evaluate the game.

Wang Jun said frankly: "I know many people will compare me with Kobe. I have also seen some people belittle me or Kobe online, hoping to prove that their idol is stronger. Here, I hope that fans can judge the football rationally and do not have to distinguish between the top and bottom. In fact, we are all very strong. Isn't 60+ in three quarters the best proof?"

The reporter asked: "Do you think your playing style is different?"

"I shot more three-pointers, and Kobe's breakthrough was better. He was better at making fouls, and he was also very good at tilting jump shots and trolleys. I rarely had a backward jump shot. That way I took more energy to shoot."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is Kobe's biggest advantage?"

"He has a high ball possession. He doesn't make many mistakes. He can grab rebounds without shooting and defend quickly. But it will be fatal to make many mistakes. I have a deep understanding of this. He has been working hard to do better."

Wang Jun's answer came to the nail on the head. He and Kobe averaged about the same playing time as him. With a small ball possession percentage, he averaged 3.4 turnovers per game, while Kobe only had 3.1 turnovers.

Of course, because Kobe is more of a shot to finish offense than passing this season, his assists have been reduced from 6 to 4.5, and his turnovers have been reduced by one compared to last season.

Wang Jun used to make few mistakes, but he took the ball and took action. This season he has undertaken more offensive tasks, so the mistakes have increased. Once he is double-teamed and made a mistake in passing, he will almost certainly lose points, and the same is true for the ball to be intercepted by the ball.

Few fans will pay attention to this data, but they can measure a person's strength. Kobe has indeed reached the peak this season, not what many Ke Hei said, "He only knows how to swipe data."

Finally, Wang Jun added: "I think Kobe will be my biggest competitor in scoring."

After praising Kobe, Wang Jun expressed his determination to compete for the scorer on January 2 with his actions.

Kobe has zero assists and started to score points. If he develops in the direction of James and passes more to his teammates, how can he compete with Kobe?

At home against the Bucks, Wang Jun broke out and scored 44 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.

The Bucks are not weak teams. Reed and Mo Williams's outside combination has a sharp offense, but the small forward Bobby Simmons who was dug up by high salaries is a bit of a trick. Once the contract year passes, the data has declined across the board.

Australian No. 1 picks Bogut and Maglouil formed a double tower in the inside, and did not do a good job of receiving and shooting after defending the outside.

On the Bulls, Hinrich continued to be stupid, making 1 of 7 shots, only scored a three-pointer, scoring 3 points and 2 assists.

When he first joined the NBA, Hinrich could despise Mo Williams with all his heart, and now the second round guards are riding on his head.

The more he wants to play well, the more his mentality becomes unbalanced and his performance is poor.

In the same day's game, the Lakers played against the 76ers at home, and Kobe scored 48 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the team to win.

Iverson only scored 32 points and 5 assists. Fans were surprised to find that if they wanted to win the scoring title this year, the 30+ media used "only get it" to describe it...

One day later, Wang Jun made 17 of 32 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 43 points and 6 rebounds to lead the team to defeat the Supersonics, and his data was completely out of reach.

Kobe is even more powerful, making 17 of 41 shots, 7 of 15 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, scoring 50 points, and 8 rebounds and 8 assists. He led the team to win the Los Angeles Derby and defeated the Clippers.

The media were shocked. Are the two of them competing until the end of this season?

Soon, people discovered that this was not a competition between the two, and Iverson joined in.

In the 76ers' game against the Hawks, Iverson scored 53 points, and the team fell behind the whole game. Although they almost caught up in the fourth quarter, Weber's shot in the end, and the 76ers finally lost to their opponents 108-111.

After this game, Iverson once again surpassed Wang Jun, ranking first in the scoring list with 33.2 points.

Chris Webber was traded for the king because he fought for the boss with Stojakovic. When he reached 76ers, he no longer had to consider fighting for the boss and became a foil.

For Iverson, the scoring champion this season seems to be more important than entering the playoffs, and he also played the highest efficiency and highest scoring in his career.

The players were furious, the fans were excited, and the ratings of the NBA game were back.

After seeing the news, David Stern was in a happy mood and his goal was achieved. The league is slowly getting rid of the shadows brought by defensive teams such as the Nets, Spurs, and Pistons, and moving towards the direction of offensive winning.

The reason why players are so crazy is related to the league's guidance of public opinion. As long as someone performs well, they will immediately compare them with other stars.

Several stars are very arrogant, have the same ideas, and must prove themselves, which inspires stronger scores**.

Stern believes that in the latest three years, the 2003 rookies will reach their peak, driving the league into the golden age. NBA will make a lot of money, surpassing other sports in the United States, and becoming the most profitable league is just around the corner.
