There are five All-Star seats, and the Lakers have four of them, which is indeed a very amazing thing, although because the previous two All-Star votes have already had such results, many people can also guess that there will be such a result.

But when such a result appears, it is still shocking enough, which has never happened in history, a team has four All-Stars a year, although it is not common or nothing, such as the previous Lakers, Timberwolves, Wizards and Celtics, but this time the Lakers are starters, which is gone.

Of course, although the outside world is amazed by the domineering of the Lakers in popularity, it is just amazed and amazed, which does not mean that there is any controversy, there is not much controversy in this All-Star vote, in the West, the four people of the Lakers are so qualified, so after this result appears, more people are facing it with an expectation, such as expecting these Lakers players to play as offensive as they did in the Lakers?

Even the head coach of the Timberwolves, George Carr, who is also the head coach of the All-Star West, himself said that he would give the Lakers players more playing time if necessary.

However, for the All-Star, this is a thing that makes the Lakers happy, for example, after getting the news, the atmosphere in the Lakers' training hall is also very hot, after all, for anyone, being able to enter the All-Star starter represents a huge recognition.

Especially for Hill and Hardaway, two players who have long been away from the All-Star for various reasons, although according to their agreement with Zhuang Fei, they came to the Lakers to enjoy basketball. But in the present. These two don't have the same calm mood as enjoying basketball. Or maybe the excitement is part of enjoying basketball.

Of course, as far as the Lakers are concerned, the All-Star is half a month later, before the All-Star, the Lakers still have regular season games, and the Lakers' schedule before the All-Star is not simple, even extremely difficult, although the opponent may not be very strong. But it's extremely dense.

"Stephen, those guys should be quiet by now," Zhuang Fei, who had been looking down at the team's analysis report before Green entered the office, also asked with a smile after Green came in, looking up at Green.

Recently, the Lakers All-Star starters accounted for four of the five things that were very popular, just like not long ago the Lakers continued to create a winning streak, at that time it felt like the world's media was in Los Angeles, and now it is not much better than that time, and now Zhuang Fei has not stopped his Lakers players from accepting these interviews from the world's media.

After all, Kobe Bryant is a player who likes to deal with the media very much, and the self-control of the three elders is also trustworthy, so there is no need to ban it, but it is obvious. In recent days, the Lakers' focus has not been on training and games.

"Yes. It's almost now, and the number of people who surround us outside our training camp every day is also decreasing" After looking at his teacher, Green also replied with a smile, this matter does have an impact on the training of the Lakers, but this impact is slowly passing, so after hearing Green's answer, Zhuang Fei also nodded slightly.

Enough is enough, that is, the current situation of the Lakers, and it is also an empirical summary of how Zhuang Fei has dealt with the media environment in big cities after coming to Los Angeles for half a year. And right now, the Lakers are doing well.

As Green said, the climax of the world comes and goes quickly, and it is not too slow, and as the popularity of All-Star starters decreases, the Lakers also start their remaining games.

After beating the Spurs, the Lakers' record is already 44 wins and 43 wins, and after beating the Spurs at home, the Lakers' next opponent is the Suns Rockets from the Southwest Division, and the team has been changing in recent times, just as trade rumors have been surrounding the Spurs recently, and the same trade rumors have been surrounding the Rockets.

This team has not made the playoffs once after Olajuwon left the Rockets, which is an extremely embarrassing thing, as a Western powerhouse that has won the championship, the time to win the championship is not too far away, most fans have witnessed the glory of this team, but from the current point of view, this team does not let people see his hope.

On the contrary, this team is not only not hopeful but constantly sinking, especially since the team's boss Francis has not made any progress, and many fans are tired of the Rockets' annual lotto, and for Alexander, although he did not ask the team to win the championship or anything.

But just like Glenn Taylor, although he can't win the championship, he at least has to stay competitive, so he naturally can't stand such a rocket, so the recent rumors about Francis's trade have been coming and going.

It's just that for the Lakers, it doesn't make much difference whether the Rockets are in trade trouble or united, this team has no possibility of upsetting the Lakers on the Lakers' home court for now, and this team's defense, although they are sitting on the league's block king, they are also sitting on the league's most rubbish defense.

And after the start of this game, it is true, Francis's personal ability is very good, there is no doubt about it, in the absence of an interior barrier, the Lakers did not do a good job of his defense, so the Rockets' leading guard in this game also exploded, but it is obvious that his big explosion does not affect the overall situation, just like Camby's block can't change the Rockets' defense.

In this game, which was almost the Lakers beating the Rockets through, the Lakers established a score that was almost impossible to get back at the end of the half, and when the third quarter of the game ended, it was logical to enter garbage time, and the Lakers were also on the pure bench again, even Kobe Bryant was down, after all, Kobe Bryant had already scored 40+ in the first three quarters, and at the end of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers also defeated the Rockets from afar with a disparity of 148-97.

After defeating the Rockets, Zhuang Fei also visited and comforted the Rockets head coach Tang Shuai, who looked extremely depressed after the game, and at this time Zhuang Fei had a hunch that something big was likely to happen to the Rockets. It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei still wanted to say something. In the end, the head coach of the Rockets did not give Zhuang another chance. This also made Zhuang Fei sigh.

After the Lakers defeated the Rocket, Zhuang Fei had a premonition that something might happen to Tang Shuai, which Zhuang Fei's premonition was not wrong, on the second day after the Lakers defeated the Rocket, the Rockets announced that the team's meritorious head coach Tang Shuai resigned as the team's head coach, and for a time the United States was in an uproar, and after Tang Shuai's resignation, the Rockets also entered the rhythm of selecting the coach.

About Tang Shuai's resignation. Zhuang Fei only learned when he got off the plane, after defeating the Rockets at home on February 6, the Lakers went back-to-back to play the Hawks away, and Zhuang Fei sighed when he received the news of Tang Shuai's resignation.

Zhuang Fei is also extremely sorry for his idol, after Olajuwon, Tang Shuai's reconstruction of the rocket was not successful, and it can even be said to be a failure, but although this failure is not his own reason, he needs to bear it alone.

But it's the same. For Zhuang Fei, he thinks that Tang Shuai's departure from the quagmire of rockets may not be bad. It's just that Tang Shuai, who has a deep affection for rockets, doesn't know if he thinks so.

Of course, Tang Shuai's time is always just Tang Shuai's business, which has nothing to do with Zhuang Fei and the Lakers, and what has more to do with the Lakers and Zhuang Fei is the back-to-back games against the Hawks away.

When Zhuang Fei brought the Lakers to Atlanta, he was treated like a home team again, and when the Boston Celtics faced Atalanta in the playoffs last year, Atlanta turned against Zhuang Fei just like the Charlotte Hornets faced Zhuang Fei.

While the Hawks were a playoff powerhouse last season, this season the team has fallen outside the playoffs.

The situation of the Hawks this season is very bad, and the whole team is left with James alone after the departure of Rasheed Wallace, and the team's second uncle Howard, who was traded from the Grizzlies, is also very average.

Even this year's rookie Nelson is about to become the second leader of this team, and it can be seen from this aspect that this team is lacking in people, even if James is fast this year, but it is not possible for him to take this group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to the playoffs in the current East.

Even if his data has reached an astonishing 28+8+7 this season, and the two in front of him who can brush this data are Carter and Jordan, but it is clear that his fate is not as smooth as Jordan or Carter, who made the owner of the Hawks is now busy selling the team, how can he have time to think about how to strengthen the competitiveness of this team. In this case, it is understandable that this team has played like this this season.

And the tragedy of the Hawks is also a tragedy for James, especially since last year he was fourth in the East, and this year he didn't even touch the threshold of the top eight in the East, such a gap is a big blow to this young man who is just 20 years old, even if his mind is as precocious as his master Carter, such a blow may be a lot.

It's just that judging from the game between the Lakers and the Hawks in this game, James adapted quite well.

This game is a back-to-back for the Lakers, so the Lakers' starting lineup for this game is Josh Smith, Jackson, Szzebiak and Kobe and Paul, the three elders are still on the injury list, and this game is also the first meeting in the NBA between Paul and James, the two inseparable old enemies who fought in high school.

It can be said that this game is very important for both Paul and James, especially Paul, when he was on the plane, the young Lakers guard clamored to teach James a lesson, and the fighting spirit was quite strong.

In fact, in terms of the strength of the two, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, James is still slightly stronger, coupled with the difference in the status of the two teams and the gap in the strength of the two teams, the most likely result in this game is that Paul wins the game and James wins the data.

It's just that Zhuang Fei was a little surprised that James didn't seem to want to lose the game in this game, and Paul didn't even seem to want to lose the data, looking at the James who was desperately trying to kill the Lakers basket with a basketball on the court and Paul, who was very selfless except for some sticky balls, kept throwing the ball to the basket, Zhuang Fei was a little speechless.

The rivalry between the two is far more intense than he thought, and it's clear that the rivalry between the two men in high school is now leading to the NBA.

However, as Zhuang Fei expected, even if James wants to beat the Lakers alone, he can't do it with his current ability, and even if Paul brushes up on his scoring data, his scoring ability is still worse than James's, and even Kobe Bryant is constantly helping him brush up on his data.

In the end, after 48 minutes of fierce battle between the two teams, the Lakers, who rotated their lineup, defeated the Hawks 124-107 on the road, and James scored a career-high 56 points with 15 rebounds and six assists on the road, which is typical of one person carrying a team.

Of course, Zhuang Fei's defense of James in this game is also not targeted, and even for a period of time Paul went to defend James, Zhuang Fei did not stop it, and on the other side, the Lakers only scored 40 points in addition to Kobe Bryant's fourth quarter of the game to help Paul brush up the data for most of the time, Paul played the first 30+10 in his career in this game, 38 points, 14 assists and 8 rebounds of a quasi-triple-double.

And after the end of this game, what made Zhuang Fei feel interesting was that Paul didn't seem to be satisfied with the victory of this game after winning the game and not losing too much in terms of data.

After the game, he kept humming and went to James's demonstration to say something, maybe it was the first time in his career that he lost to Paul, so at this time James looked very regretful, but he didn't care too much about Paul's provocation, after all, he did lose this game.

The relationship between James and Paul, Zhuang Fei thinks it is very interesting, maybe Zhuang Fei sees the same shadow of Carter and Duncan in these two people, but these two are much more intense than Carter and Duncan back then. After all, no matter how much Carter and Duncan competed back then, both of them were teammates, and it was more of a situation of fighting side by side. However, although these two are no longer teammates after coming to the NBA, they are now the first and second in the league, and their personalities are also extremely introverted, which is not the same as Paul James.

But in any case, this is a kind of continuation, and maybe after this era, the theme of the next era will be these two people. (To be continued.) )
