首月回顾：雷霆火箭防守强劲 湖人新帅带来何变化？
新赛季的NBA常规赛已经进行一个多月。借着感恩节休战一天的机会，我们通过五个关键词对首个月值得关注的一些现象和表现进行了总结。
新帅
在2024年休赛期，骑士、篮网、活塞、黄蜂和湖人都选择了更换主教练。这五支球队都有明显变化，即使是黄蜂和活塞的战绩不理想，但他们至少展现出了积极势头。阿特金森接手时，骑士已基本成型，他稍作调整进攻体系与打法，有效开发了莫布里的进攻，并增强了第二阵容深度，使得骑士的进攻效率上升至联盟第一位。
湖人在首个月取得11胜7负，比去年同期增加了一场。在菜鸟教练雷迪克执教下，他们成功贯彻“让戴维斯成为进攻核心”的计划，目前湖人的进攻效率排名联盟第四，这是詹眉时代从未达到过的新高度。然而，防守依然是湖人最大的问题。雷迪克抱怨队中缺乏可靠的防守球员，这显示出他面临困难局面。他更多地使用换防策略，但当戴维斯提到高位时，球队却缺少有效护筐者。本应负责非持球点及空间点防守的大帝老詹，由于年近40岁，其护筐频率与效果均有所下降。此外，中锋八村塁和克内克特虽然身材高大，却无法提供有效保护。因此，目前湖人在禁区失分方面排在联盟第三，多重伤病影响导致情况更加严峻。
防守
本月雷霆与火箭展示了令人瞩目的防守能力，他们每百回合失分分别为103分及103.7，与后面的魔术、勇士拉开差距。这两个团队相比于其他球队，在百回合失分上低于平均水平超过9分，这一数据在如今以攻击为主流年代显得尤为突出。
两队之所以能够达成如此成绩，都强调无限换防并尽量减少单打弱点，通过强硬逼抢以及协同配合来制造对方失误，因此其抢断次数以及利用失误所得到积分都名列前茅。相较而言，霍姆格伦受伤前曾被视作最佳年度 defensive player 的有力竞争者，而他的退场令雷霆的小个阵容受到低估；即便没有传统中锋，该小组仍能保持良好篮下保护。而申京则虽有一定提升但仍存在短板，高端比赛中难免遭遇针对性挑战。
减法
This season, several teams have had to make tough choices due to the second luxury tax line; among them are the Warriors, Clippers, and Nuggets who lost key players but still manage decent results.
< p>The Warriors employed a “12-man rotation strategy” to maximize their depth advantage. Despite injuries affecting Curry and others during a three-game losing streak that raised questions about coach Kerr's lineup decisions, they remain competitive.< / p > < p > The Clippers sit sixth in the West even with Leonard sidelined and George out of action thanks to Harden’s offensive contributions alongside Jones’ defense under new coaching strategies which yielded impressive defensive stats.< / p > < p > After losing Pope affected their perimeter coverage significantly , Denver has been buoyed by Braun’s growth while Jokic continues his MVP-caliber performance averaging 30+ triple-doubles this season .MORPHING STRATEGIES
Teams making major additions over summer face challenges as seen with Mavericks , Kings , Timberwolves & Knicks struggling for expected outcomes despite roster upgrades . Dallas sits at 11-8 suffering from injury setbacks yet struggles persist on both ends offensively where Thompson remains below par shooting only 36% beyond arc whilst defensively he allows opponents near47%. Coach Kidd shows courage benching him when necessary however
Minnesota traded Towns aiming for Randall + DiVincenzo whose presence failed expectations leading them into issues regarding spacing/ ball distribution compounded further after Edwards aired grievances post recent loss demonstrating locker room tensions brewing underneath surface pressure cooker environment within squad dynamics overall lackluster performances throughout campaign thus far hinder progress made early seasons ago last year too!
INJURIES < / strong >
This season numerous franchises suffer heavily inflicted wounds especially76ers/Pelicans facing dire straits resulting shaky footing attempting stay afloat amidst chaos surrounding respective rosters without sufficient time build chemistry together needed cohesion ultimately required towards playoff aspirations! < P>The Sixers managed minimal six minutes featuring trio stars combined since opening day leaving uncertainty looming ahead concerning future matchups progressing forward needing minimum thirty-three wins secure postseason berth meanwhile Pelicans struggle mightily battling uphill climb breaking records seeking repeat miracle run past two years earlier find themselves deep hole already encumbered multiple absences including Zion likely returning mid-december along other injured players complicating matters exponentially worse than anticipated !
