After the time enters December, the All-Star voting officially begins. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, the star players also began to perform, using explosive individual performances to canvass for the All-Star vote.

The players broke out one after another, the game was exciting, and the viewing was much greater.

For the Lakers, they have several potential players in contention for the All-Star spot this year: Kobe, Noll, Whiteside, and Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo is averaging 14.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game so far, shooting 46.7% from the field and 34.3% from three-point range.

Statistically, Antetokounmpo doesn't have much of an advantage, but considering this is only his second season in the NBA and he has stars like Twin Towers and Kobe Bryant around him, Antetokounmpo's ability to play like this is a testament to his quality.

Of course, Antetokounmpo's chances of becoming an All-Star this season are the smallest of the four.

The second is Whiteside, after Whiteside became the starter this season, his personal level reached the level of "15 points + 10 boards + 2 blocks". It's just that now the All-Star has long canceled the center position, and letting Whiteside compete with a bunch of forwards is obviously a great disadvantage.

This season, Noll averaged 21.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, shooting 55.7% from the field and 75.1% from the free-throw line. Looking at the rankings, Knoll is the most efficient interior player other than Cousins, Griffin and Love.

And of the four insiders, Knoll has the best defense.

Obviously, both in terms of popularity and individual performance, Knoll has a very good chance of becoming an All-Star this season.

Finally, Kobe Bryant, who has the highest demand, has been a super scoring guard who has been popular for more than ten years, and a soul-level player of the Los Angeles Lakers.

This season, Bryant unexpectedly chose to switch to point guard, and there were very few voices who were optimistic about him at first. However, in just 20 games, Bryant silenced all doubters with his individual performance. Bryant averaged 14.5 points, 9.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game while shooting a career-high 49.7 percent from the field.

In terms of the measurement of a point guard and a guard, Kobe Bryant's individual performance is definitely a star, and if you consider that this year is the first year of Kobe's transformation, then he should be selected as an All-Star.

In fact, from the current point of view, Kobe Bryant's choice to play point guard is undoubtedly very right. After all, he's not too young, and playing point guard allows him to avoid more physical confrontations. In addition, with the containment of the twin towers, Kobe Bryant is completely able to play more efficiently, which is why his season shooting percentage can create a new career high.

Obviously, Kobe Bryant has rejuvenated the second spring of his career, just like Nash, he averaged 10 points and 10 assists per game for three consecutive years in the three seasons of 38~40 years old, completely maintaining the level of a star.

In this regard, Bryant and Duncan remain very similar, as if they are both growing in reverse.

Speaking of Duncan, Duncan, who is 38 years old this season, handed over the torch to Leonard, but his individual performance is still first-class in the league, averaging 13.9 points, 11.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, shooting 47.6% from the field. This level is completely the performance of some star centers. However, at the age of 38, Duncan is still able to deliver such a performance.

**************

If Lakers players want to get an All-Star spot, they naturally need to put on a good performance.

And the best proof is the most difficult period of this season's schedule, the Devils have seven consecutive road trips, that is, from December 4 to 14, in 11 days, the Lakers have to play seven consecutive road games.

This is a very difficult schedule, and it has also been criticized by the Lakers' management for a while.

However, there was no improvement under the negotiations at the time, so the Lakers could only carry out this schedule for the new season.

The first opponent in a seven-game tour was the Miami Heat, and the Lakers won the game easily at No. 4.

The next opponents are the Pelicans, Pistons, 76ers, Celtics, Knicks, Charlotte Hornets.

Back-to-back games against the Pelicans, the Lakers were overturned in the final quarter and suffered their third loss of the season. As a result, the Lakers' unbeaten streak of nine wins on the road this season has come to an end. In this game, the confrontation between Anthony Davis and Norris Noll became the biggest focus, and the two were completely evenly matched, Davis contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, and Noll contributed 23 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Such a situation makes people can't help but sigh, and the duel between the Kentucky brothers will undoubtedly become the focus of the alliance for the next ten years. For now, though, Knoll has achieved more than Davis, who already has a championship ring and Rookie of the Year award.

After losing to the Pelicans, the Lakers did not have a seven-game road streak collapse, and led by Kobe and Knoll, the Lakers defeated the Pistons, 76ers and Celtics in a row.

Then, on the 12th, they visited Madison Square Garden in New York, where the Lakers challenged the New York New York Army led by Parker, Ellis, and Stauskas.

In this game, Coe continued his magical performance at Madison Square Garden as he had throughout his career, and he made Spike Lee shake his head on the sidelines in frustration. The shooter known as Ray Allen in the next moment, Stauskas, was completely vulnerable in front of Kobe, and even when Ellis came to defend, it was also useless.

Bryant contributed 41 points in the third quarter and was a terrifying 13-of-19 in individual offensive efficiency.

Without a doubt, this was Bryant's best offensive performance of the season, and he used it to prove that he was a threat when he was on the court, not that he played point guard because he didn't have offensive ability anymore.

On the contrary, the 41 points in the third quarter proved that Kobe Bryant still had a very, very lot of gas in the tank. Just to go longer and further, he needs to retain some energy.

As for playing point guard, it can only be said that he is because of the needs of the team, and he also wants to prove that he is not a lone wolf.

After winning the Knicks, the Lakers' Devil Seven Straight will only have one last game left, and the opponent is the Charlotte Hornets led by Joe.

Jordan watched the game from the sidelines, and he and Kobe Bryant interacted for a long time and agreed to have dinner together after the game.

The superficial kindness does not mean that this game is easy, I don't know if it was ordered by Jordan, the Hornets played really hard in this game, and that intensity was completely playoff level.

Arguably, the Hornets definitely put out the best of their game.

In this game, the Lakers almost turned the tables, but in the end, with the play of several young players, the Lakers passed the danger 99-93 and ended the Devil's seven-game losing streak with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss.

It is worth mentioning that in the final game against the Hornets, Whiteside slashed a quasi-triple-double of 12 points, 15 rebounds and 9 blocks. The team's sixth man, Jeremy Lin, exploded and scored a team-high 21 points. (To be continued.) )
