123. Forever drop God!(1/2)
The cold east wind blew.
The old 2001 passed quickly,
The new year 2002 will arrive soon.
At the end of 2001, after the Wizards defeated the Lakers, they should have been in full swing and winning consecutive games.
However, this is not the case.
It seems that I used too much force in 2001. From 2002, the Wizards' condition began to fluctuate.
In every game of the New Year, the Wizards' record is like losing and losing, losing and winning, no longer as strong as before.
So, a young team is a young team and cannot be stable.
They achieved good results all of a sudden, and the whole league was targeting them. They themselves became more arrogant because of the media's rush to report.
The results are naturally coming.
Of course, it is not all because of these reasons.
There is no way. In this 2001-02 season, in the Eastern Conference, all teams are really monsters and strange teams.
There are many troubles, and the east is completely a mixed living situation.
The team before the eighth place in the playoffs, whether they are in the front or behind, everyone's strength is not as great as they imagined.
Even if you are eighth and face the first, you will not have the strength to absolutely win the opponent.
In such a chaotic Eastern League, it is really a place where heroes are in power, and all kinds of heroes have risen.
New Jersey Nets, Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons, Boston Green Kay, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Charlotte Hornets, Indiana Pacers, and Milwaukee Bucks.
This is currently the first tenth team in the East.
Judging from their record, it is obvious that in fact, the difference between them from 1 to 10 is only 6 games.
Just 6 games!
With such a winning gap, it can be said that the competition in the East is really fierce.
In the Eastern Conference, it can be said that even if you accidentally lose a game, then maybe your ranking will fall sharply at the end of this game, from the top eight places in the playoffs to the tenth position.
These are completely possible.
And in this Eastern Conference where the heroes emerged, the most eye-catching thing is not the extremely strong Washington Wizards some time ago, but the top of the list now.
New Jersey Nets.
The Nets can be said to be a team that suddenly emerged during this New Year.
They have been competing with the Wizards and the Pistons before, but they have not shown a very strong momentum.
However, when they reached their belief, they suddenly became stronger.
As the Nets begins the New Year, their playing style has become more distinctive.
Their team seems to be very good at disrupting games.
In such a messy situation in the east, they can win in chaos and gain an advantage in chaos.
Now, the New Jersey Nets have firmly dominated the current top throne of the Eastern Conference.
Although the competition behind the teams are fierce and they are eyeing the top Nets, they are out of reach. No matter how hard the teams behind them work, they just can't catch up. The basketball team can steadily overwhelm others.
Of course, in addition to the Nets' sudden emergence and sudden overtaken attention, the most famous one is naturally the Wizards who killed the defending champion Lakers twice.
The Wizards are now ranked second in the East.
In the messy East, the Wizards' record of faith is not good, but their performance is still stable. Although it is not as outstanding as at the end of last year, their record is really stable now.
In the past, it was a victory, a victory, a loss, but now it is a victory, a victory, a loss, and a loss.
The Wizards are now the second most stable team among the Eastern Conference teams, just a little worse than the Nets.
Although they are ranked second in the Eastern Conference for the time being, they can't catch up with the Nets, which want to hit the No. 1.
At the end of last year, they had successfully overturned the Nets, but after the belief began, they never found another opportunity.
Every time I see an opportunity, the Nets will ruin the game at this time and play a beautiful game.
It's really hard for the Wizards to catch up.
Just like a racing competition, I was a novice blocked by a veteran opponent. If I wanted to overtake, my opponent blocked the route of overtaking and could not pass.
Although the young team is full of motivation, there is no experienced old guy leading the team. They don’t seem to know how to keep winning and ensuring that they keep winning.
The rankings of other teams after the second place in the Eastern Conference have changed a lot every day.
There is no way. When everyone has little difference between them, a game is likely to change their destiny.
From time to time, the Philadelphia 76ers jumped up, and from time to time, the Detroit Pistons occupied the third place again.
In short, the Eastern Conference team is striving for the first place, and everyone is thinking about competing for the position of the Eastern Conference boss in the season when the West is strong and the East is weak.
Nowadays, when everyone has a small gap in strength, it is impossible to play badly.
If there is a playoff game, who would be happy to play it?
Everyone is motivated. In such a chaotic season, no one can think of a good life in the Eastern Conference.
...
Amidst the chaos, January of the New Year passed quickly.
In early February, the voting results for the NBA All-Star Game were released.
Espn directly announced the voting results.
Eastern All-Stars Starting List:
Philadelphia 76ers guard, Allen Iverson,
The guard of the Washington Wizards, Wang Xiaohui,
Washington Wizards' small forward, Michael Jordan,
Vince Carter, small forward of the Toronto Raptors,
Philadelphia 76ers' big center, Deakinbe Mutom
Western All-Stars Starting List:
Los Angeles Lakers' defender, Kobe Bryant,
Houston Mosaics defender, Steve Francis,
Minnesota Timberwolves' power forward, Kevin Garnett,
San Antonio Spurs power forward, Tim Duncan,
Shaquille O'Neal, the Los Angeles Lakers' big center.
The voter king in the past two years was Vince Carter supported by Naike, but the All-Star voter king this season has changed.
This year's ticket king is what everyone expects. He is the superhero that everyone is looking forward to, and he is the superstar who saved the whole United States and the world:
Michael Jordan of the Washington Wizards!
Moreover, Michael Jordan received a very terrifying vote this year.
3.5 million votes!
This is a very exaggerated 3.5 million votes!
After Vince Carter won the title of the New Century Slam Dunk King, his reputation resounded throughout the United States. He then won the title of the All-Star votes one after another, and his maximum votes were only 2 million.
This time, after experiencing such a big disaster, no one expected that the fans would become more enthusiastic about the NBA.
The votes of the vote king actually reached a terrifying 350 votes!
This is the charm of Michael Jordan!
From these votes, we can see that everyone really hopes to see the old guy Michael Jordan participate in this All-Star Game.
But unfortunately, Michael Jordan, an old hooligan, broke his ribs by his younger brother Ron Artest when he was fighting his old club. Michael Jordan has not made a comeback yet. It seems that he is still recovering from his injuries in a sanatorium in Washington.
After all, for a hundred days, Michael Jordan, the old guy, is almost forty years old, and it is definitely impossible for him to recover so quickly.
"Oh, based on the three months of injury, is Michael going to miss this year's All-Star Game?"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo I want to watch Michael play!"
"It's all the Bulls, it's all their damn guys. If they hadn't revenge, how could Michael be injured?"
"That monster is now a player of the Indiana Pacers, please don't throw your anger on our Bulls."
"Soon or later someone will deal with this villain Ron Artest."
"Michael, come back soon. If you come back, I will definitely come to the court to watch the ball. After watching the ball for decades, I have never been able to give up the scene, but for you, I am willing."
However, no one expected that at this moment, the Washington Wizards actually emerged.
The official media person of the Wizards released the best news that everyone is looking forward to to fans across the United States and around the world:
To be continued...
