Chapter 19: Memories of Generations

Even if Jordan scored 20 points in this game against the Nets, it would not help at all, and after the Nets finished this game, the point guard who could be the first in the league naturally drifted away with the wind.

Then the local Wizards quickly got back on track and easily defeated the Bulls and Timberwolves...... Although the Timberwolves are a Western Conference playoff team and have given away some garbage contracts on their own, they have also given their interior blue-collar to the Knicks, and now they have begun to contact the interior blue-collar of other teams. Kwame scored a career-high 41 points against Garnett in this game...... Not in Garnett's main defence, of course.

Then comes the final highlight of January, against the 76ers.

In the last game, due to Iverson's injury, I didn't see Jordan and Iverson face off, but this game made basketball fans, especially those who are willing to watch superstars fight each other, even more crazy. In the home court of the Wizards, fans have never sat down to watch this game, and they are all shouting and shouting for the two leading scorers. The first time Jordan didn't play completely calmed down, he was completely infected by the fans and Iverson, and felt the heat that he hadn't felt for a long time.

In this game, Iverson played the full 48 minutes, cutting down 38 points and 5 assists, even against Tyrone Lue's defense, Jordan also played 42 minutes in this game, cutting 30 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds.

The result was a final victory for Iverson, with Mutombo not relenting against a somewhat weakened Kwameco.

Maybe it was stimulated by Iverson, or maybe he was unusually dissatisfied with the loss to the 76ers, Jordan directly turned on Superman mode in future games.

On January 24, 2002, in the game against the Cavaliers, Jordan scored 40 points and 8 rebounds.

On January 26, in the game against the Suns, Jordan scored 41 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds.

On January 29, in the game against the Pistons, Jordan scored 32 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.

On January 31, in another game against the Cavaliers, Jordan scored 26 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.

Jordan, born in 1963, was 39 years old in 2002...... All of this is also extremely real data, not everyone can be called the god of basketball, and no one can become a permanent sign of the NBA after retirement.

Spurred on by Jordan, the Wizards, who lost to the 76ers, ushered in their own four-game winning streak, and although Jordan lost to Iverson in the January Player of the Month rankings, the better information for the Wizards was the final result of the All-Star Game vote.

Carter became the All-Star vote champion for the '01-02 season, followed by O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, and Jordan in fourth place...... Kwame Brown became the center with the most votes in the East, and Gong Feng was given the 8th overall vote in the East by fans from Huaguo, and if nothing else, he was the backup guard for the Eastern All-Star starters.

For a guard who averages 10+12 per game, this is beyond Gong Feng's imagination, but as the main guard of the first team in the East, Gong Feng's selection cannot be said to be unexpected, I believe that anyone who has watched the Wizards play knows Gong Feng's role in it, especially when Jordan lets go to score, there is Gong Feng in order to ensure the connection between other players and Jordan.

Gong Feng's shooting rate is now about 47 percent, but such a shooting rate only averages about 7 shots per game.

Of course, all of this was concealed by the deliberate tactics of Collins and Jordan, and there was no wanton play in the game, Gong Feng also had his own consciousness, and he would only score when he got a vacancy in every game, and he did not deliberately pursue a height that he could achieve, especially in the average playing time of 37 minutes per game, and he had to protect his physical reserves.

The Wizards team is still strong in February, defeating the Hawks, Pacers, Raptors, and Raptors in succession, and there is no strong matchup between the two scoring masters against the Raptors.

The approach of the All-Star has also led to the players of some strong teams, or the stars have the mentality of wanting to rest, and the same is true for the Kings, the Kings who visited the Wizards' home court had no defensive attitude in the last game day before the All-Star, and Hamilton's 33-point explosion caused by some special emotions and other special reasons completely made the team that is now the first in the West lose face in the home court of the Wizards.

Most of the players on the next Wizards team ushered in a five-day break, but as rookies, Gong Feng, Kwame, and Jordan have no way to rest, and now they are the hottest characters in this All-Star Game.

However, before Gong Feng and the others could be happy, a big deal came that shocked the alliance, and the Knicks made another move.

The Knicks sent their star Alan Houston, Kurt Thomas, who averaged 11 points and 9 rebounds per game, and Mark Jackson, a decorated guard, to the Orlando Magic.

And the price paid by the Magic team for this is Grant Hill, who is already destined to not play this season, second-year Mike Miller, Buichler who can no longer play, and the unprotected first-round picks in 02 and 03, and a second-round pick in 03.

This is more than a trade, the whole league knows the Knicks' intentions, this is to go straight to the 2002 No. 1 pick, that is, to pin all hopes on future rookies, send away all the people who can play, just leave a bunch of rookies, and players with a little potential.

Knicks fans have begun to protest en masse, compared to New Jersey, which is second in the East across the river...... Hearing that the price of the Nets' trade began to rise rapidly after the trade appeared here, the owner of New Jersey for the first time in public said that he wanted to consider whether to sell the Nets......

Against this backdrop, McMiller was sent to the Warriors before he could report to the Knicks, and the exchange for Arenas was not so eye-catching.

The Magic team became the overlord of the Eastern Conference playoffs after this change, and the Knicks trade made all the playoff teams, including the Wizards, scold a hundred sentences, despise Mill Dolan's generosity in their hearts, and envy the good luck of the Magic team in their hearts.

Even after Jordan knew about the trade, he talked to Collins in the room to see if it was possible to increase the strength of his team again.

However, these have no effect on Gong Feng and Kwamei, the two of them don't feel that it is a playoff team at all when they play against the Magic, except for Maddie's breakthrough and dry pull, they haven't felt anything special, and the two who are particularly broad-minded don't want to waste their good mood for the first time in the All-Star Game because of this than a trade.

But before enjoying it, Bow Peak has one more thing to do, and Drake found Bow Peak before Bow Peak competed in the Philadelphia All-Stars.

"Busy man, I finally saw you today." Gong Feng's first words when the two met were words that made Drake very angry.

As friends for many years, the two of them have not seen each other for a long time, and they will not feel embarrassed when they are together.

"You kid threw himself into the game and left me alone in front of those cannibalistic bosses, are you embarrassed to sue first?"

"Cannibalistic boss? Not necessarily, right? In front of you, Drake, a vampire, even a cannibal has to worry about his own blood, right? ”

After Gong Feng finished speaking, he made an exaggerated grimace, and after Drake smiled helplessly, the two hugged each other laughing, and kept beating each other's backs with both hands...... The actions of the two people are very tacit, and they are worthy of being friends who have been friends for many years.

"I knew what you kid was specialized in and put other things aside, so I didn't look for you before the All-Star break, you know I'm busy during this time, just for you. But knowing that you kid has the habit of maximizing profits, I have studied the data for many years, and I also have a certain understanding of Huaguo, plus my trust in you, your trust in me, I also want to suppress those who see you, it's like seeing the banknotes flying away, how about it? You don't have a problem with me doing this, do you? ”

"How so? After I participated in the All-Star in my first season, I will make my commercial value to the extreme, plus Chinese fans, people living outside, the first successful yellow person, these factors together are the real me, if you are anxious because of this, I will be disappointed. Disappointed, you're not the famous vampire anymore. ”

"Fuck off, for your own good, and talk about me like this, you don't know that my mobile phone has been blown up in the past few days, how much trouble I have saved you, but the result is not even a word of verbal praise, it really disappoints me." Drake's expression seemed to say, "Praise me."

"yes, got it!" Seeing this, Gong Feng just said lightly, saying that I will look at Drake's changing face in the future, and finally there is no way to tighten the nerves on my face in the end.

P.S. See Derick again? I love this guy, it's a memorial to another type of basketball, and it's the only novel that I've written like that, and it's from him that I learned a lot of interesting stories in the league...... I'm still writing a novel, but I don't want people to really forget some things, most people just know that Jordan has been a six-time champion, right?

How many young people still remember Jordan back then?

Well, I admit that I haven't seen the old man's demeanor either, but I'm very yearning...... Jordan was a generation before Jordan, and after Jordan was the era of later generations, and there was an absolutely dominant star in an era and ten years, which is something that is almost impossible to happen after modern basketball.

Hopefully, this slightly nostalgic style will grab your attention! Finally, very solemn...... Ask for votes! Ask for votes! Ask for votes! Ask for all kinds of tickets!
