At the Lakers training gym, a familiar face has returned.

"Bruce! Let me see your eyebrows, I heard that the doctor shaved your eyebrows in order to give you stitches! Campbell was the first to come up.

"Wow! There are really no eyebrows left! In the future, your nickname will be the Eyebrow Hero! "The players were giggling and laughing.

"Quiet, quiet guys." Kirtlambis took control of the scene, and Harris began to speak.

"When February comes, we will face a number of strong teams, and I hope you are ready to do so."

"We'll play the Washington Bullets at home on Feb. 2, the Clippers on Feb. 4 and the Bulls at home on Feb. 5."

"Then we're going to have a seven-day no-game day, and we need to take a break during that time and take care of the players who are going to the All-Stars."

"Speaking of All-Stars, this year's Western Conference All-Star head coach is me." Harris smiled slightly, the Lakers' No. 1 record in the league allowed him to win the title of All-Star head coach in the West, and this year's best coach will also be won.

"Congratulations Coach!"

"The coach is the best!"

Licking the dog growls loudly.

"After the All-Star break, we're in the end-of-season sprint, so we've got to stay in shape and get as many wins as possible while staying injury-free."

"Everyone, get ready, let's head to Washington, DC!"

...

On the flight to Washington, the Lakers players were talking about the All-Star Event.

When Bryant was named to the All-Star starter, his All-Star schedule was packed. First of all, I will participate in the Rookie Challenge, then the Slam Dunk Contest, and finally the main competition.

This year's All-Star Rookie Game is divided into East and West Troops, and only first-year rookies can compete. In other words, the 96 golden generation was all selected.

Four players from the Lakers have been selected for the Western Forces!

Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Bruce Bowen, Ben Wallace. It is the team with the most players selected in this rookie game, and the team with the most players in history.

The rest of the West Force players are Sharif Abdul Rahim, Matt Maronny, Lorencent Wright, Steve Nash, Stephen Marbury, Lorenzen Wright.

In this year's rookie game, the West side is full of Kobe Bryant's people, and Kobe Bryant is ready to make a big move and brush up on the highest score in the Rookie Challenge.

The teams in the East are Anthony Walker, Ray Allen, Vitaly Portapenco, Marcus Camby, Eric Dampier, Roy Roggers, Allen Iverson, Kerry Kittels, John Wallace.

"Boss! We've won! Fisher had fallen into the illusion that after Cleveland won his first accolade, there were countless crushes thrown into his arms.

"Hey, you moved half of the Lakers to play the Rookie Challenge." You don't have to look to know that it's Campbell who is there.

Due to the low ratings of the slam dunk contest in previous years, the league released news before this slam dunk contest that the 97 dunk contest will be the last. Still, it didn't attract any other stars other than Kobe.

This year's slam dunk contest featured Denver Nuggets rookie Davin Ham. Dallas Mavericks 2nd grader, Michael Finley. 2nd grader of the Wolves in Minnesota Sen, Chris Carr. Los Angeles Lakers rookie, Kobe Bryant. Milwaukee Bucks rookie, Ray Allen. Home Cleveland Cavaliers 2nd grader, Bob Sulla.

Bryant thinks that the more dangerous ones are Ray Allen and Michael Finley, and the other players are not to be feared.

The three-point contest has attracted a lot of players this year. Dale Ellis, Steve Cole, Timlegler, Terry Mills, Sam Perkins, Glen Rice, John Stockton, Walter Williams.

With the development of the league, the three-point offense has become more and more important, and the number of three-point masters has also increased.

Kobe Bryant didn't choose to participate in the three-point contest this year, and if he has the opportunity next year, he is willing to give it a try.

"Boss, what are you going to do in the slam dunk contest? Can you tell me? Fisher wanted to take Kobe's words so that he could brag to the girl.

Bryant ignored Fisher, who was caught in the spring, and he slowly read the newspaper.

The above has mixed reviews for Kobe Bryant's participation in the All-Star, and some people even say that it is Stern's conspiracy, and Kobe's votes are not so many at all!

Interesting.

The remaining All-Star bench players will need to wait for the vote of the league's coaches, and it will be selected in a few days.

Because of O'Neal's injury, Eddie Jones on the Lakers' side is very likely to be selected. As the No. 1 team in the league, it makes perfect sense that only one player has been selected as an All-Star.

The journey from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. was a long one, and Bryant slowly closed his eyes.

...

Washington, D.C., is the capital of the United States, named after President George Washington of the United States, set up as the capital in 1790, a special administrative division under the direct jurisdiction of the United States Congress, so it does not belong to any state of the United States.

The Washington Bullets are the team with the most name changes in the NBA, joining the NBA in 1961 with the first name being the Chicago Packers. 1962-63 was called Chicago Westwind. 1963-1973 named Baltimore Bullet. 1973-1974 called the capital bullet. 1974-1997 became Washington bullets.

Kobe Bryant knew they would change their name after the season.

Since the '60s, the team has been one of the powerhouses in the East, making consecutive playoff appearances and winning the first championship in franchise history in 1977-78. However, the Wizards played the underdog most of the time in the '90s, and they had not made the playoffs before this season, and are currently 22-22 and currently sitting in seventh place in the East.

Their star is arguably the most flashy offensive power forward, Chris Webb, who is in his fourth season in the league. He averaged 20.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, and was an out-and-out top power forward.

In addition, their point guard Rodstrickland is also a very good guard, who has averaged 18+9 top offensive guards per game for many seasons, and is very good at both individual offense and organizational tandem. He is also the godfather of later King Kyrie Irving, and the two have a lot in common in their playing style, so it can be said that Rod Strickland is a weakened projection and an enhanced version of Irving.

In addition to these two stars, they also have some good role players.

George Muresan, who is currently the tallest American basketball player at 2.31 meters, is on the Washington team, averaging 10.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game this season.

The No. 5 pick in '94, Juwan Howard, averaged 22.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game last season. Averaging 19.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game this season, he is a very tough forward.

The lineup on paper should not be underestimated, and what will their coach Jim Linam do in the face of Kobe Bryant, who leads the team single-handedly?
