After the All-Star break, the Pacers' form declined.

After all, the team's lineup lacks thickness, and Reggie Miller cannot maintain strength for a long time. The Pacers are actually a very interesting team. The leading star is not too strong, but after the leading star is injured or leaves, there will always be similar players emerging.

In parallel time and space, after Reggie Miller, it was O'Neal who led the Pacers, and then Danny Granger and others, and the leadership of the court was seamlessly connected.

"Although it failed to maintain the first record in the Eastern Conference, the team will continue to work hard to win a better playoff spot." Reggie Miller still remembers that at the beginning of the season, he played with the Nets inextricably, thinking that the Pacers would be very good. weak.

Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Carter, the Nets have overcome the impact of injuries and have been stable among the top three in the Eastern Conference. Looking back on it this way, the game between the two teams at the beginning of the season was not a competition between rookies, but a competition between experts.

The situation in the Eastern Conference feels a bit like the top three, with the Bulls, Pacers and Nets ranking among the top three. There are obvious gaps in the last few, and the winning gap is more than 3 games, making it difficult to catch up.

The Hawks, Heat, Knicks and Charlotte Hornets are all trying their best to move forward, but the Knicks are unlucky and have more injuries this season. Ewing and "Central Shooting King" Houston have both suffered injuries. "Aunt" Larry Johnson was also very uncomfortable with his back. The team's record was ups and downs and could not be stabilized.

Several other teams competing for the playoffs are the Cavaliers and Wizards, Magic and Pistons. The Pistons, like the Magic, are in a bad situation due to injuries to core players and record fluctuations.

"Vince, in the next game against the Lakers, as long as we defeat our opponents, we will lock in the top four. But the team may pay a huge price. After all, everyone is tired, which will increase the risk of injury. There are only 10 games left. Playoffs." Calipari took a deep breath and met a strong opponent.

Facing the powerful Lakers, with four All-Stars sitting on the field, it was really difficult to deal with. Do you want to give it a try? The key is that Lakers insider O'Neal is in charge and crushes the Nets insider. The advantage inside is very obvious. Even if they have to fight, the Nets have to rely on Carter's super performance.

"This season, winning one game and losing one does not seem to affect our final ranking. There is no difference between second place and third place." Carter is very calm. The team must gather strength for the playoffs. Jason Williams' wrist will take another week to recover. Some time ago, after Yasha's party, he hit the toilet in the bathroom and was injured. The injury was very embarrassing. Carter smiled and said, "We need to be healthy."

"Okay, do your best." Calipari said with a hint of pity. If you double play the Lakers, it will be a great experience. This season, we faced the strong teams in the Western Conference and achieved a record of one win and one loss. The Nets are slightly weaker on paper, but with Carter's performance, they can compete with these teams.

In key games, it still depends on Vince Carter's performance.

O'Neal has gone crazy in order to win a better playoff position for the team. Facing the Nets inside, whether it was Rasheed, Eric Mobley, or even Ben Wallace, they were all beaten bloody by O'Neal.

"You three come together, I'm not afraid." O'Neal roared, howling with confidence, directed at Vince Carter, "Vince, you better come here and fight hard, I am going to exceed 40 points!"

"The playoffs are coming, the most important thing is to stay healthy, Shaq, health is the most important thing." Carter was very calm, it didn't matter if O'Neal scored 100 points, all he wanted was the playoff record.

The most important thing is that after a whole season of high-intensity training, Carter's post-up and shooting abilities are much stronger, but his body is also very tired. If he does not adjust well in the last few games, he may be injured. His perception of the body's condition has reached a very precise level.

Maintaining health is the key to a player's career protection. Derrick Rose’s career was brilliant in the first three years, but his knees couldn’t handle it; yellow mamba Brandon Roy also played amazingly in the first few years of his career, and then disappeared…

"I haven't won the championship yet, so I have to fight for a year." O'Neal gritted his teeth and continued to fight.

He wanted to prove that he was the boss of the Lakers no matter what. He didn't have a decent record and was sorry for his talent.

"I also want a championship. Sooner or later we will meet in the playoffs." Carter joked.

Calipari thought for a long time and chose to replace Carter. Yes, the playoffs are approaching and the most important thing is for the team to stay healthy. I just saw that the Lakers' Joan Barry sprained his ankle. If the Nets also have some problems, it will be more harm than good.

When Brent Barry saw his brother injured, he couldn't help asking the referee why he didn't stop the game. He is fortunate that he is still in good physical condition and can compete for a better contract next season.

In this game, O'Neal scored 50 points. Kobe, as a substitute, scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. His performance was also very good. The call for him to break into the starting lineup became louder and louder.

"How many points did Vince score?" Kobe asked "Little Fish" Fisher as soon as he came off the court, eager to know Carter's performance.

"28 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. However, the Nets' shooting percentage was not high today. No one else scored more than 15 points. Carter alone cannot carry the team. We are 10 points ahead." Fei Scheer was honest on the court and took the initiative to tell all the details.

The little fish at this time is not the old fish who quietly lurks in his teammates' homes.

This year's Lakers have the strength to win the championship. The Western Conference is also a situation of three strong teams, and the Lakers are one of them, and are favored by many media. O'Neal dominates the inside, and there are two All-Stars in Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel on the outside. On the bench, there is Kobe Bryant, the All-Star starter.

There are also players such as "Lord of the Rings" Robert Horry and Rick Fox from parallel time and space to assist. The book strength is very strong.

It is recognized that the strongest team in the Western Conference is last season's Western Conference champion, the Utah Jazz. Many players are in their prime, powerful and expected to compete for the championship.

In the All-Star Three-Point Shootout Competition, Jeff Hornacek successfully won the championship, while Brent Barry was eliminated in the first round. Both Karl Malone and Stockton are still in excellent condition, and ordinary teams have no way to resist the "Xuanming two elders".

The third team that is expected to win the championship is the San Antonio Spurs. David Robinson gradually gave up the leadership of the team and established a Spurs team with Duncan as the core. After all, after Duncan joined, the Spurs suddenly discovered that they had a top insider with 20+10 points, and his strength seemed to be a little bit stronger.

Paired with players such as "Little General" Johnson, the Spurs' strength cannot be underestimated. Among the other teams in the Western Conference, the Rockets are old and have no chance. The SuperSonics and Timberwolves are just one strong team and have no hope of winning the championship. As for other teams, they are still struggling for playoff spots.

O'Neal led the team to victory at home.

"Vince, I hope we can meet in the finals." O'Neal was so proud that he had already thought about winning the championship in the future. He even wanted to cooperate with Carter. It must be very comfortable.

"There will definitely be a chance." Carter is also very confident.

Kobe Bryant came over, unruly, with fighting intent in his eyes. He hadn't fought enough and wanted to continue fighting, "Vince, I will beat you up next time."

"That's what you said last time."

…………

The Nets' next game won't be until two days later, and Calipari gave the team a day off.

Carter did not rush back to New York, but stayed in Los Angeles. He had a date tonight.
