"There seems to be something wrong with the form of the players." In New Jersey, the Lakers were preparing to play against the Nets, and Kirtlambis looked at the Lakers players who were crazy about playing iron in shooting drills without anyone to defend, and was a little surprised.

The team's form has obviously started to decline since the game against the Heat, perhaps because 11 three-pointers in the half consumed too much character. In recent days, the Lakers players have clearly not felt quite right. Coupled with a long time away from home, flying around on the flight is not an easy thing, and the Lakers' group of players are mainly recruits, and under such conditions, the overall state of the Lakers team is very bad.

"Well, it's good that Kobe's state doesn't seem to be affected." As the head coach of the team, the Silver Fox Harris is also a little worried about the state of the team's players, and it is not terrible to fall into a slump, and the young team will inevitably experience such a state ups and downs in a long season.

To the surprise of both Harris and Kirtambis, Bryant seems to have no ups and downs at all, and since the start of the game, Bryant has only occasionally lost power for one or two games, but has never seen a long period of low form. Kobe has been the most consistent player on this young Lakers team.

Kobe Bryant seems to have experienced countless professional basketball schedules, and as an 18-year-old high school first-year rookie, maturity is not good. He can fall asleep at any time, whether it's a noisy flight, a bumpy team bus, or a pre-game physiotherapy room. Whenever Bryant feels tired, he will take a nap, about 15-30 minutes. Then Kobe Bryant will immediately come back to life, and the tiredness and fatigue will be swept away.

It's an amazing talent, and it's a unique way for Bryant to stay in great shape over a long season.

"Fortunately, the opponent in this game is the Nets, and if it is still a playoff team like the Magic, then this game is difficult to say."

"Don't be careless, there is no weak team in American professional basketball. Even the Nets have a chance to beat the Lakers. ”

...

On March 24, 1997, the Lakers played the New Jersey Nets on the road.

The current Lakers are 60-8, the first top team in the league to reach 60 wins, and the current league's regular season record.

The New Jersey Nets, currently 21-46, are at the bottom of the East. Their goal is to rebuild, the current Nets are a mess, and the most talented player on the team is Sean Bradley, the No. 2 pick in '93, a 2.29-meter super-tall bamboo pole center.

Shaun Bradley has been doing reasonably well this season, and although he has been injured for 30 games this season, he is currently averaging 4.0 blocks per game.

The rest of the Nets' players aren't worth the show, they're all additions, and the team's starters can't even play off the bench at a playoff level. Such a team is currently the lower limit of American professional basketball, and it is a strong contender for the top prize.

Speaking of top contenders, this year's battle for Tim Duncan is as hot as the battle for the top spot in the league!

Wake Forest's performance in the NCAA is too amazing, he averaged 20.8 points, 14.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game in his senior year, and the American media currently believes that his template is a combination of Bill Russell and Olajuwon, the king of the rings!

What kind of monster is the combination of the No. 1 defensive center in history + the No. 1 offensive center in history?

Not yet in the league, NBA scouting director Marty Black also said of Duncan: "He's probably the most mature player to enter the NBA in the last decade. In the past ten years before Duncan, super rookies who entered the league included Kobe, Hill, O'Neal, Mourning, Kidd, Iverson and other players, which is enough to see how good Duncan is!

This sentence caused an uproar! A more mature player than Kobe? Although the current Duncan is a senior, 21 years old, 3 years older than Kobe, in the eyes of fans, there is no way for them to imagine that an inside line will be more mature than Kobe!

Public opinion is intertwined, and Duncan's attention continues to rise dramatically. In addition to the teams that chose to play bad at the beginning of the season such as the Celtics, Spurs, and Grizzlies, there are many teams that have joined the bad industry!

In the East, there are the New Jersey Nets, Toronto Raptors, and Milwaukee Bucks, all of which have barely won in recent days, and they are all new members of the Swing Tanks. You must know that in this year's draft, there is not only Duncan, a combination of Russell and Rajowon. and Odom, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, left-handed magician. Look at Kobe, look at Garnett, these high schools have proven in the MLS Basketball for high school draft players that Odom won't fall out of the top three this year!

On this side of the West, the Grizzlies are really rotten, and they are not posing. The Spurs are proper actors, and Kobe very much hopes that Stern can target the Spurs, and it is best not to give Popovich this year's top pick.

The Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, and Golden State Warriors are just a few teams that have also started their tank journey after a playoff hope, and they desperately need to dig up a few star embryos. After the '96 Golden Generation, the quality of the '97 draft was also a dream for all teams. There are also plenty of talented players this year, and the University of Utah's super-space forward Keith Van Horn is also known as Bird Jr. As a 2.08-meter white striker with an unrivalled shooting touch, the Celtics have focused on the white striker, who they think is the next Bird.

Chancey Billups, an older point guard from the University of Colorado, has also received a lot of attention, and he is an extremely immediate, playmaking breakthrough and shooting that can be an immediate help for the team.

OF COURSE, THERE'S ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL KID WHO HASN'T RECEIVED MUCH ATTENTION RIGHT NOW — TRACY MCGRADY, WHO WAS AN UNKNOWN HIGH SCHOOL KID UNTIL ABCD CAMP MADDIE BEAT OUT OF ORDOM, AND AFTER THE CAMP HOSTED BY ADIDAS IN JUNE AND JULY, MADDY'S DRAFT PICK WILL SOAR FROM A SECOND-ROUND PICK TO A LOTTERY PICK. Coupled with the collective explosion of high school students in the league this year, when encountering a rebuilding team that wants to gamble on the lottery opportunity, perhaps Maddie will break into the top ten or even the top five.

The remaining players such as Antonio Daniels, Tony Barty and Ron Mercer are some players with good potential who may not be able to grow into stars, but with enough proper development, there is no problem in becoming a qualified starter.

There was also a 'Martial Saint' who even fell into the second round and was ignored.
