Chapter 749 The Madness Before the All-Star Game

"Kobe Bryant rules November and December in this new era!"

"And when the New Year's bell rings! People discover that this most brilliant era is far more than just Kobe."

——Doug Collins

In 1999, the NBA entered the turn of the century!

The year 2000 is coming!

This year is destined to be full of legends.

As the Lakers adjusted their status, the performances of other superstars in the league instantly overshadowed Kobe's limelight!

January!

The last month before the All-Star break!

At this time, the team's tactics have gone through two months of running-in and have basically been finalized.

Except for some NT coaches, few coaches will make major adjustments to player rotations and game lineups at this time.

And with the two-month season, the players' performance has begun to get on track.

You must know that not every player is as disciplined as Kobe. In this era, after an offseason like O'Neal has passed, players who are out of shape are the mainstream of the league!

2 months! Enough players and teams to get regular!

This is a month when the season enters a fierce battle, with strong teams competing for the playoff rankings.

From first place in the division to top ten in the division, everyone started fighting crazily for a high-exposure occasion like the playoffs.

The boss of a team that has made it to the playoffs and the stars outside the playoffs are two extremes!

The former has many people willing to offer high salaries, while the latter will be labeled as a brush and a cancer.

No one likes a weakling!

And if you don't make it to the playoffs, you're the loser!

January!

Grant Hill had the best month of his career after the Christmas Day game!

Averaged 29.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 11.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game!

Averaging a triple-double of nearly 30+10+10 per game!

In this era where the average triple-double per game has not been contaminated by certain players, this performance is simply dazzling to the extreme!

Even the basketball god Michael Jordan can't cover up his shine!

Led the Hornets to victory in 13 games in January!

Penny Hardaway!

Hardaway, who fought alone, led the team to 13 wins and 1 loss! Overtaking the Heat and Pacers in one fell swoop and reaching second place in the Eastern Conference!

Averaged 28.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.7 blocks and 3.7 turnovers per game!

Pence put the team on his back!

Postman Karl Malone!

After Richmond left this season, the Jazz's performance in the regular season was almost unaffected!

This is thanks to Malone's MVP-level performance! In January, Karl Malone averaged 33.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.7 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game!

Malone crossed his big elbow! Rampant!

If it weren't for the emergence of Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone would be the strongest player in the league in this era!

Chris Webber!

The most gorgeous power forward played the most gorgeous performance. Without Penny Weber, although his efficiency dropped, his overall data panel was even more terrifying!

Averaged 27.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.9 steals and 3.5 turnovers per game!

Under the leadership of Weber, the rebuilding team of the Kings has reached the top eight in the Western Conference in such a terrifying division!

big dream

A large number of veteran stars have performed at a phenomenal level.

They began to adapt to the new rules and crash into the zone reasonably!

This new rule will undoubtedly make the stars play more comfortably!

Not just these veteran stars!

After Iverson defeated the Lakers and scored 60 points, he seemed to have opened up his heart!

Averaged 35.1 points per game in January! ! !

40+ in 6 consecutive games!

Kill!

The shortest number one pick in league history explains his talent! Why was he able to beat the crowd in the 1996 golden generation!

Wolf King Garnett!

Timberwolves this season! The sword points to the second round!

With Marbury and Tom Gugliotta preserved, the Timberwolves' record this season once reached fourth in the Western Conference!

Defeat the Rockets, Suns and other strong teams!

It relies on the Wolf King's comprehensive and almost unsolvable performance.

In January, he averaged 24.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 4.1 blocks, 2.1 steals and 2.7 turnovers per game!

The data column is filled to the brim!

Tim Duncan!

Kobe considers the strongest opponent in the Western Conference. This season, the Spurs, led by Stone Buddha who has entered his peak period and the Admiral in his prime, rank third in the Western Conference! Second only to the Lakers and Jazz!

Duncan's performance of 20+10+4+3+1, people often feel that after a game, Duncan did not see too much holding the ball or playing in isolation, but he scored an ordinary 20+10!

Tracy McGrady!

After Fat Tou Tuo left, McGrady instantly jumped from a defender averaging 13+4+5 per game to an all-star player averaging 21+7+6 on offense and defense!

UFO Carter

Stackhouse led by a single core

Ray Allen has grown into a gentleman's sword

Rasheed Wallace started roaring.

"What a prosperous age!" Old Bass clasped his hands together and happily watched the movements of the NBA.

All heroes rise together!

Although the Lakers only had a record of 10 wins and 3 losses in January, they still topped the league.

The overall record is 39 wins and 3 losses!

Equally terrifying!

"Father, we can win 70 games again this season." Jenny Bass's eyes were filled with stars.

"Yes Jenny."

"The market value of our team has doubled in the past three years! From 670 million to 1.3 billion!" Jim Buss was also overjoyed. Bass has promised that this team will belong to him in the future!

"But the performance of other teams should not be underestimated. The Hornets are already catching up! If Hill continues his crazy performance, maybe they will also win 70 games!"

"The achievement of 70 wins is becoming less and less valuable now." Jerry West smiled bitterly on the side.

In their era, let alone 70 wins.

Teams that win 60 games are considered legends!

"Jerry, why are the players so crazy this month?" Old Bass handed a glass of wine to the LOGO man.

"The All-Stars are coming soon, and they want to canvass votes."

"This year's All-Stars in Orlando, I heard that the slam dunk contest will be restarted. UFO Carter's participation will bring this event back to life."

"Carter's style of play is so exciting! His dunks are even more domineering than Kobe's."

"But his leadership ability is not that good."

"Of course, this is also related to the fact that Billups and Antoine Walker appeared beside him at the same time."

"There are more superstars this year than in any previous year!"

"Just counting, there are more than 10 superstars performing at their peak in the league! And the scary thing is that many teams in the league have more than 2 superstars!"

"This is the best era, and I believe that the Lakers will become the brightest pearl in this best era!" Old Buss looked in the direction of Staples.

That will be the future of the Lakers! That new arena must be decorated with glory!
