"Legend is still in: Legend Creator series of missions.

Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to maintain the top position in the league before entering the All-Star Weekend. (Completed)

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 bronze draw.

Remaining draw times (opportunities): Gold 0 (0), Silver 2 (3), Bronze 2 (3).

Currently, the Supersonics team where Zhang Hao is located has a record of 39 wins and 8 losses, with a record of 16 wins and 8 losses in the past 24 games. It is judged as an excellent team.

Based on the actual situation of Zhang Hao's team, the next task goal has been determined.

Target 2: At the end of the regular season of the 2002-2003 season, Zhang Hao had to lead the Supersonics to rank higher than his old team, the Lakers.

Rewards are determined based on actual completion.”

‘Target 1 is actually not difficult. The first 23 wins and 0 losses have basically locked in the half-time championship. As long as the back is not too bad, like ours now, 16 wins and 8 losses, and a well-behaved record for strong teams, we can defend the league first while the Lakers and Mavericks perform so brutally...

In fact, during this period, although the Lakers' record is 20 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks' 21 wins and 4 losses, and we have 16 wins and 8 losses, the gap is not as big as the record seems.

Our 23 consecutive wins in the first place were not just me and Da Ben. The whole team is working hard and all the staff consumes a lot. It is normal that our overall performance is weaker than theirs after the winning streak. The previous team forced ourselves too hard for the winning streak.

In short, we just put our strength into different stages, which is related to the different situations in which our three teams are...

Target 2, the requirements seem to be not high, but as for the current situation in the Western Conference, the ranking at the end of the regular season is higher than that of the Lakers, so at least it must be second in the Western Conference or even second in the league. It is also possible to get first in the Western Conference or first in the league...'

Personally, after defeating the Clippers, Zhang Hao was analyzing what happened later this season.

The Supersonics team breathed a sigh of relief.

At least half the championship was won!

Unlike Zhang Hao, his teammates are under a lot of pressure in the middle of the season, otherwise Artest would not have been taken to rap all day long. Who would have played serious people?

Just said, seeing Zhang Hao so calm and Ben Wallace so cold and arrogant, his teammates had a clear mind.

The 23-game winning streak at the beginning has had a lot of impact on the young players of the Supersonics.

The overall situation is positive, and it is definitely a very good thing to win 23 consecutive games.

This is definitely a long winning streak that 99.99% of players cannot afford to spend their careers, and their confidence in this group of young players is a good accumulation.

It is also related to this that they can relieve the pressure from the decline in mid-season record in various ways.

But in fact, their Supersonics are theoretically a team with a 70% winning rate this season. With Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, they have 55 wins to guarantee their strength and a team with a 60 wins.

The pressure brought by the best start in history is definitely quite large.

The young team has the momentum. Jordan retired. After discussing with the Supersonics management and coaching staff, they decided to sign more young players in order to take advantage of the momentum of these young players.

This choice naturally faces risks, and there are many uncontrollable factors.

Fortunately, no matter how unexpected the situation in the early stage of the season is, now they are locked in the half-time championship!

...

February 1st, the new month has arrived.

The league announced the third competition month’s best awards.

In the East, there are three different Players of the Month in the three months. In January, Jermaine O'Neal led the Pacers to a record of 10 wins and 5 losses with a personal performance of 29.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and won the Player of the Month Award.

In the West, Zhang Hao finally made a substitution after winning the Best Player of the Month Awards in November and December for two consecutive months.

Yesterday, Nowitzki led the Mavericks to defeat the Lakers 108-101, giving the Lakers their 11th defeat this season. The Lakers' record turned into 37 wins and 11 losses. The Mavericks, who also had a 37 wins and 11 losses, returned to second in the Western Conference with their advantage of winning and losing against the Lakers. Nowitzki also won the Best Player Award for the second month of his career with his outstanding personal performance in January and team record.

Coach of the Month, Eastern Conference, Magic coach Doug Rivers won the Coach of the Month Award; Western Conference, Lakers coach Rick Carlisle won the Coach of the Month Award.

The Rookie of the Month, East China, Yao Ming has dominated three consecutive games, averaging 16+8+1+2 per game. Just like Gasol in the previous class, no one in the 202nd class can compare with Yao Ming.

The West was lively, Boozer, Gooden, and Jay Williams took turns to win the Rookie of the Month Awards.

The data are all very charming, Boozer averages 10+7 per game, Gudun averages 8+9+2 per game, and Jay Williams averages 11+2+6 per game.

Most of the talented rookies this year are concentrated in the East. Stoudemire, who averages 13+9 per game, Caron Butler, who averages 15 points per game, Wagner, who averages 13+3+3, and Wilcox, who averages 7 points and 8 rebounds per game... are all from the East.

This is also in line with the trend of the eastern region becoming stronger year by year since the shutdown.

Finally, the major awards this month have nothing to do with the Supersonics.

All the major teams marveled at Zhang Hao's best week three times, the best month two times, and Ben Wallace's best week two times, and thankful that the Supersonics' overall strength has declined now, and the main players are young players with rookie contracts...opportunities!

All the strong teams regard this season as an excellent opportunity!

The dynasty is not that easy. Even championships are rare in NBA history. If you can continue to win consecutive championships after winning consecutive championships, there are only three times in the entire NBA history.

George McCann's 6-year five championships, the first NBA dynasty.

Then there is Russell, the Lord of the Rings.

After that, there is the Bull Dynasty.

There were two consecutive championships at other times, but only two consecutive championships.

For example, the Lakers and Pistons in the late 1980s both won two consecutive championships, while the Rockets and Lakers in the mid-to-late 1990s both won two consecutive championships.

But since the 1960s, the only one who has completed three consecutive championships is the Bulls.

When the Supersonics won two consecutive championships, many championship teams regarded the following season as an opportunity to compete for the championship!

...

In addition to the announcement of the best prizes of the month, today is also the day when the All-Star Weekend roster was announced.

The head coaches of each team have selected the All-Star substitute, and the list of other games selected or successfully invited by the league is also announced today.

The Supersonics' Ben Wallace, O'Neal, Pierce, Ray Allen of the Lakers, Peja of the Kings, Nowitzki of the Mavericks, and Francis of the Clippers and seven others joined hands to be selected as the Western Conference All-Star substitute.

These 7 players form the Western Conference All-Star lineup with Anthony Hardaway, Nash, Garnett, Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi.

Kidd of the Nets, Jermaine O'Neal of the Pacers, Duncan of the 76ers, Payton of the Bucks, Marion of the Cavaliers, Big Z, and Marbury of the Knicks, and seven others were selected into the Eastern Conference All-Star substitute.

Adding Ecoca McYao to form the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup.

Because Carter withdrew due to injury, Hornets' Marshburn replaced Carter for the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup.

Another year of the stars' overflow, Weber missed the All-Star Game due to injuries.

Finley, Beeby, Grant Hill, Barron Davis, Andre Miller, Rashid Wallace, Cassel, Malone, Stockton, Brad Miller, Kenyon Martin... and other stars, all missed the All-Star.

However, it can be seen from the All-Star lineup that some things are indeed improving in the overall strength of the East.

In the past few years, the Eastern Conference inside could not even get a four-player rotation. Now, O'Neal, Duncan, Big Z, and Marion who can play power forwards, and Yao Ming, the Eastern Conference inside group has become more and more powerful, and there are talented high school students such as Kwame Brown and Stoudemire, and young talents such as Odom and Kenyon Martin are also very good... The situation of the Eastern Conference inside has been getting weaker and weaker every year has been reversed.

This situation can be seen from the league's rookie competition list.

This year's rookie competition, the highlights are coming!

There have been calls for a cancellation of the rookie tournament in the past two years.

After the All-Star Weekend last year, the media went to Zhang Hao to ask if there was any solution to this matter.

Zhang Hao had no choice but to provide a solution.

Unexpectedly, the alliance really took the initiative to adopt it!

Choose 9 players from the first and second grade players respectively. If there are 5 in the first grade in the east, then the first grade in the west can only choose 4, and 5 must be on the same side. The same goes for the second grade.

This year's rookie match has changed its name back to the 'rookie match'.

Eastern Conference rookies, Yao Ming, Caron Butler, Amare Stoudemire, Dajuan Wagner, 4 first-year players, Kwame Brown, Jamal Tinsley, Trenton Hassell, Jason Collins, and Eddie Curry, five second-year players.

The Western Conference rookies, Gordon Kirisek, Jay Williams, Boozer, Nene Hillaryo, Ginobili, five first-year players, Arenas, Richard Jefferson, Gasol, and Jason Richardson, and four second-year players, together.

Yao Ming chose to withdraw from the rookie tournament, and was replaced by the Heat's second round pick Lasour Butler.

The 2002 rookie is quite talented.

But if it is really divided into grades one and two, there is basically no suspense, and the second grade is defeated by the first grade.

After last year's rookie season, Arenas yelled that he should be the rookie MVP.

In terms of ability in such a game, Arenas is definitely the strongest among the first and second grade players, beating all other players in the first and second grades.

But in this way, the situation is different if the East and the East are divided into two groups, and the first and second grade players are mixed together.

The Eastern Conference rookies have an absolute advantage in the interior, while the Western Conference rookies are more balanced.

The announcement of the famous rookie competition alone has sparked heated discussions.

This match looks even more powerful than the rookie match before the suspension!

Judging from the lineup, except for the two teams in 2000 that were known as the "most fantastic rookie tournament in history", the other teams could not catch up with the East and West rookie team this year.

In addition to the rookie game reform itself, Zhang Hao became popular...

The man who 'controlled lightning' in the NBA!

Although the unification of the All-Star jerseys, the rules of the rookie game... etc. are all irrelevant things, but as soon as Zhang Hao said it, the league would change... Some people think this is a coincidence. If the league wants to change, Zhang Hao just made a reliable suggestion.

Most people are still willing to treat this as a "legendary story".

All-Star Games and Rookie Games are all attractive enough.

But the comprehensive event day is worse than one year...
To be continued...
