    The All-Star Game ended with a bang. The Nuggets achieved a lot in this All-Star Game. Williams won the skills challenge championship, Korver won the new three-point champion, and Anthony won the All-Star Game.  MVP, it was only after the All-Star Game that people noticed this. For a time, the Nuggets became famous in the league.

    But what is more interesting is the bet between "Magic" Johnson and "Big Mouth" Barkley. Originally, after the pizza, Barkley had won the bet, but the bizarre scene that happened later made him still in the end.  After losing to Johnson, he also wanted to invite Anthony to participate in TNT's entertainment program, but with his usual urination, he didn't know when he would fulfill the bet.

    After the All-Star journey, the star players of each team returned to their respective teams to prepare for the next half of the season.

    Anthony and his teammates also returned to the Nuggets, preparing for the next game.

    The wonderful performance in the All-Star Game brought the Nuggets' morale to an unprecedented high, and their schedule for a long time after returning was also very easy. There were no back-to-back games. They defeated the Hawks two weeks later.  Team, Jazz, Nuggets, Bucks and Trail Blazers, after a wave of five consecutive victories, surpassed the Spurs with a record of 28 wins and 14 losses, ranking third among all teams in the Western Conference.

    It wasn't until the sixth game after returning that they faced a real challenge. They faced the Pistons with excellent defense, offense versus defense. It was a fierce game. In the end, Anthony and Brand contributed one before the end.  A 6-0 attack wave won the game without any danger. In this game, Anthony scored 36 points, and Brand even grabbed 21 rebounds, contributing 25 points and 21 rebounds.  The big double-double allowed the Pistons to get what they wanted from the double Wallace inside line. It was their outstanding performance that allowed the team to extend their winning streak to 6 games.

    Six consecutive wins is not a big event for the league. People's attention to the Nuggets was not very obvious, but in the next week, the Nuggets continued their efforts and successively defeated the Warriors, Wizards and Magic.  , when the winning streak was extended to 9 games in one fell swoop, Denver began to report heavily. During the 9-game winning streak, Anthony averaged 29.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. Brand scored 24.5 points and 13.8 rebounds. Two  The duo of individuals has become the most dazzling combination in the league.

    The team is on a winning streak, the cooperation between the players is becoming more and more mature, and the performance of the role players is also becoming more and more mature. The Nuggets are on the right path. However, after the winning streak, the Nuggets' opponents are all trying their best.  Trying their best to stop their winning streak puts the Nuggets under much greater pressure than before.

    However, Anthony and Brand's performance is still strong, and the performance of Williams, Nene, and Bell has also improved steadily. They continued their efforts after nine consecutive victories and defeated the Hazy, Celtics, Suns, and Hornets respectively.  The winning streak extended to 13 consecutive wins. Now, not only the media in Denver, but also the media across the league have focused their attention on the Nuggets. Winning streak slogans can be seen everywhere in newspapers, and the duo of Anthony and Brand can be seen everywhere.  .

    Not only in the United States, the strong performance of the Nuggets has also set off a fanatical star-chasing craze in China. The gorgeous running and gunning offense is pleasing to the eye. Fans compete to imitate it. They buy Anthony's boots through various channels. In Jordan  Just a few months after the brand opened up the Chinese market, the sales of Anthony's sneakers in China surpassed Tracy McGrady's 3rd generation boots and Kobe Bryant's boots, becoming the best-selling sneakers in China.

    In the past, when fans were proud of Tracy McGrady's boots, they were replaced by Anthony in a very short period of time, which can be called a miracle in the history of sneakers. However, this is actually inseparable from Anthony's performance. Anthony is walking on a path that others have never walked before.  On the road, his performance in his rookie season can only be described as phenomenal.

    ??In fact, in the United States, China, and Europe, the Jordan brand has also swept across like a spring breeze, creating a storm of Anthony sneakers around the world. Jordan's investment has achieved unprecedented success.

    The sneakers were selling like crazy, and the bonus Anthony received from the Jordan Brand was also rising. Money was slowly turning into a number in Anthony's eyes, but he didn't change his original intention just because the money was getting more and more.  He still insisted on training. In addition to secretly asking someone to go to China to find Su Xi, his relationship with Fox was also very stable.

    Anthony's performance is still outstanding, but with the increase in winning streak, the players' mentality will inevitably become a little relaxed after 13 consecutive victories.

    In the first game in March, they faced the Heat, which was not particularly strong. The Nuggets were lagging behind in the first three quarters, falling behind by nearly 20 points at most.Korver hit 4 consecutive three-pointers in the second half of the third quarter, which brought the point difference to 12 points. After that, Anthony and Brand worked together to make persistent efforts and once again hit an offensive climax, and then ended with 3 points before the end.  The advantage was enough to win the game thrillingly.

    After the game, the Nuggets unexpectedly did not attend the press conference. The players spontaneously held a player meeting in the locker room. It is said that Anthony took the lead in reviewing his performance at the meeting, which made many Nuggets players ashamed.

    A small meeting had unexpected results. In the following games, the Nuggets showed unprecedented combat effectiveness, and the gap between them and their opponents seemed to be slowly getting wider.

    In the March game, they first defeated the Clippers, which had become completely weak, with 40 points, then slaughtered the Trail Blazers at home in Portland with a 32-point advantage, and then they defeated the Trail Blazers with 28 points.  The advantage defeated the powerful Kings, and the running and gunning against Princeton was also a gorgeous offense. In the end, the running and gunning completely defeated Princeton.

    In the past three games, they have beaten their opponents by an average of 32.7 points per game, and their morale is at an all-time high. It is precisely because of this strong performance that they have extended their winning streak to 17 games.  Once again, there was an uproar in the league. Fans compared the Nuggets to an invincible team. There was even a betting company that predicted the Nuggets' winning streak. Fans placed crazy bets on the Nuggets.  The popularity has risen to another level again.

    It is precisely because of this winning streak that the Nuggets surpassed the Lakers and Timberwolves in one fell swoop, leading the Western Conference, and their record in the league is also outstanding.

    This phenomenon of the Nuggets has even attracted attention in the political arena. Illinois Senator Barack Obama expressed his love for the Nuggets in public.

    All the glory around them surrounds the Nuggets. They are experiencing an unprecedented good time. Because of the team's winning streak, the Nuggets occupy a very favorable position in the selection of various awards.

    In the mvp rankings, Anthony is undisputedly ranked first on the list. In the selection of the best rookie, he also undisputedly crushed James and firmly occupied the top position.

    And after the All-Star Game, D'Antoni surpassed Carlisle of the Pistons and Saunders of the Timberwolves for the first time in the selection of the best coach.

    Even in the selection of the best sixth man, Korver and Diaw both have very high support rates, especially Diaw, whose all-round performance amazed everyone.

    In the Most Improved Award, Bell's average data per game has nearly doubled compared to last season, which also occupies a very large advantage in the selection.

    This is probably the benefit of a strong team. The selection of various awards will be tilted towards the team.

    After ending their 17-game winning streak, the Nuggets encountered the biggest challenge, challenging the Nets and Lakers back-to-back.

    The Nets have the Big Three of Kidd, Jefferson and Martin this season and are very strong. After a series of big wins, the Nuggets also encountered an unprecedented challenge in this game. The two teams really  The team fought hard until the last minute. Anthony showed his big heart at the last moment. He first hit a mid-range shot at the buzzer to give the team the lead, and then blocked Martin on the defensive end.  A close hook shot, and then hit a chasing three-pointer to give the Nuggets a 4-point lead. After that, the Nets adopted foul tactics. Jefferson and Kidd hit two consecutive three-pointers, but fortunately  The Nuggets made all their free throws and narrowly defeated the Nets by 2 points.

    After a whole night of fierce fighting, the Nuggets players had a big physical reaction, but before they had time to rest, they flew to Los Angeles the next day to face the Lakers again.

    This time, the Nuggets failed to perform another miracle. Anthony and Brand's performance was still stable, but the other Nuggets players obviously couldn't keep up with their physical strength. Even Ko Williams and Bell sprained in the second half of the third quarter.  D'Antoni suffered an ankle injury. This sudden situation caught D'Antoni by surprise. In order to protect other players from injury, he was put on the bench when he was still behind by about 10 points in the third quarter and strategically gave up the game.

    The Lakers finally defeated the Nuggets. Kobe fulfilled his promise when he was an All-Star. However, winning in this way was obviously not what he expected. He found Anthony in the player tunnel after the game and chatted for a while, but compared to the last time  , I don¡¯t know how much to be warm this time. As Kobe said, he has regarded Anthony as a true friend.

    Because of the loss against the Lakers, the Nuggets' winning streak was fixed at 18 games. What's more interesting is that if they win one more game, they will be able to tie the 19-game winning streak the Lakers achieved in the 1999-2000 season, but in the end  , they missed this record and failed to perform the magic.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Website: www.hlnovel.com
