"When it really comes, you will never say that!" Bryant said this, and the whole person was full of strong confidence. And what makes him feel so confident comes from his team, he believes that the strength of the current Lakers team, let alone winning this season's championship, is very easy to create a great dynasty again.

"See you then!" Lamar said, holding out his hand to Kobe.

Bryant was stunned for a moment, and also reached out and patted Lamar. The two hands parted with just a slight touch, which was just an agreement, and had nothing to do with the that friendship first and competition second.

"I said they wouldn't be friends!

The game is over and the Eastern Conference All-Stars are in victory. Bill Wharton's long-awaited Lamar won the MVP of this All-Star Game. At this time, the old villain was in a very good mood, and now he is happy as long as Kobe Bryant is unlucky, and it can be seen that he is quite disdainful of his son Luke Wharton joining the Los Angeles Lakers.

"They're going to be enemies in this life, it's hard to be friends! They seem to have made a decision just now, is it going to be a Finals goodbye or something? It's great! I'd love to see these two teams in this year's Finals. It's unfair to other teams to say that, but the reality is that the Knicks and Lakers are definitely the two strongest teams in the league right now!"

"If what you say is true, would you want to win your son Luke's Lakers, or Lamar's Knicks?"

Such a sharp question really stopped Sven Beast Bill Wharton, and for a while, this old ball ruffian who was used to seeing big scenes didn't know how to answer. But when he saw Kobe's figure disappear into the players' tunnel, he made up his mind.

"There's no doubt about that, although I'd love to see Luke bring back another championship ring for the Wharton family, provided he's the star of the game, of course. Like now, even if the Lakers win the championship in the end, Luke is just a dispensable little guy who only plays for three or four minutes every game when the main players are tired and about to stick out their tongues. Bill Wharton began to shamelessly talk about his reasons for supporting the Knicks: "Rather than make that nasty guy proud, rape and criminal, I'd rather Lamar win the championship." ”

Bill Walton's predictions, or wishes, certainly don't count, and his words naturally don't attract much fan interest. Now all eyes are on the pitch.

Although the game is over, it does not mean that the topic of this game is over. At this time, there is one on the scene, and the next thing to do is the award ceremony of the league chairman Mr. David Stern for this year's All-Star Game MVP Lamar Odom.

This is indeed a rather dramatic result. Because David Stern has made a lot of noise about blocking Lamar from participating in the All-Star Game before, coupled with the past grudges between the two people, it is impossible to make the two of them laugh at each other.

David Stern stood on the podium with the trophy symbolizing the MVP of the All-Star Game, and the smile on his face looked a little stiff no matter how you look at it. The old guy faced the frantically flashing lights of countless reporters, and he couldn't make any excessive moves, so he could only force a smile against his will. I believe that in this case, he would rather win the award than Lamar, an old enemy, who would rather win the award.

On the contrary, Lamar seemed very calm, and his heart was also dark when he saw David Stern being deflated. In fact, such an experience has happened before, but it is very pleasant to see Stern's appearance.

Taking advantage of the reporters' inattention, Stern put on a smile and leaned into Lamar's ear and whispered: "Young man, you better be careful! ”

Not to be outdone, Lamar also smiled and whispered back: "No, sir, my luck has always been good, and looking at your bad luck, I will continue to do such things!"

Stern was angry for a while, but there was nothing he could do. In front of so many reporters and so many fans, he couldn't smash Lamar's head with the trophy.

But this scene just now is completely different in the eyes of reporters and fans, Stern and Lamar are actually laughing and biting their ears, if this photo is uploaded to the Internet, the click rate will definitely easily exceed one million.

Could it be that the two of them really have a day of reconciliation?

The question immediately flooded the minds of everyone present, but soon this absurd idea was dismissed. But what is the explanation for the intimate action of the two people just now?

Soon after, when the host announced Lamar as the MVP winner of the 2004 All-Star Game, David Stern and Lamar teamed up to tell the people that instead of reconciling, the feud between them deepened.

"Congratulations!" Stern said coldly, then shoved the trophy into Lamar's hand, and then quickly flashed to the side, as if Lamar had a virus on his body that would infect him at any time.

Since Stern is so faceless, Lamar will naturally not be polite. In the following acceptance speech, Lamar's first sentence shocked everyone present.

"I don't think Mr. Stern seemed happy at all when he presented the award to me, maybe it wasn't what he wanted, but alas, I won! I got what was my own, and it was a very good feeling. Especially since this is based on the displeasure of others, and that unhappy person is precisely the one I hate the most!"

Speaking of this, Lamar also feels about the same, and if he continues to talk about it, it may really make Stern angry.

'Thank you to the fans who were here today, to my team-mates and to the support they have given me. Of course, I would also like to thank my wife, Vanessa, for giving me motivation with her and her children. Finally, I should thank Mr. David Stern for not kicking me out of the All-Star Game. Although he didn't do anything, his behavior directly let me know that I have so many fans all over the world. Thank you!"

At this time, if David Stern had an AK47 by his side, he would definitely copy it and make Lamar abrupt.

It's been a long time since I've seen David Stern's old guy look so ugly. The AI laughed, a little gloating.

AI and Lamar are a bit of the same kind, and both are alternative players that David Stern doesn't like very much. So AI's sense of that old man is naturally not too good, seeing Lamar tossing David Stern so much, scolding people without spitting dirty words, AI's heart is cool except for worship!

"To be honest, I really admire you, and only you dare to tease that old man on such an occasion!" AI said, his face changed: "What happened to the Finals goodbye agreement between you and Kobe Bryant just now? Are you really so confident that you can pass our Philadelphia 76ers?"

Lamar glanced at the AI: "What level do you guys have?" Allen, seriously, the current Philadelphia 76ers, I really don't care about it!"

AI was suddenly depressed when he heard this, he knew Lamar's temper very well, and said it was the same! AI himself also knew very well that there was a big gap between the strength of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks, but if he really gave up the pursuit of the championship, it would be difficult for him to wait, and everything would have to wait until the two teams really met in the playoffs.

"Good luck with Lamar, don't lose before you meet us. ”

"Good luck to you, Aaron, and I'd love to try my revenge!"

"You won't like it!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

The smoke of the All-Star Game dissipated, leaving only countless topics to become people's after-dinner conversations.

In the end, Kobe Bryant still failed to achieve his long-cherished wish to defeat Lamar, but their battle still failed to really separate the winners. Perhaps by the day the battle between the two of them is over, both of them will be far away from the alliance and strife. At that time, two people who have fought all their lives may sit quietly in the bar and reminisce about the past, and then become good friends because of the shared memories.

Of course, these assumptions can only be conjectured for the future, and the main thing people are concerned about now is the regular season that is about to end and the playoffs that follow.

Similarly, the final ownership of this season's championship has also become a hot topic often mentioned in major basketball review programs.

The Knicks had a big win in this All-Star Game, with Devin Wade star-studded in the rookie arena, Billups' three-point title, and Lamar's heavy-duty All-Star Game MVP title. After returning from Los Angeles, the Knicks returned to preparing for the upcoming regular season.

On the third day of the All-Star break, the Knicks hosted their first opponent, the Orlando Magic, at their home court, Madison Square Garden Arena. To the delight of Knicks fans, while welcoming the Orlando Magic, an opponent who is not worth their fuss, they also welcomed the long-lost mid-range king Alan Houston.

Half a year after leaving the Knicks, this once New York pride finally returned to the team, but unfortunately this time he was no longer wearing the Knicks' jersey!

Van Gundy is cautious about Alan Houston's return. If there's anyone on the Knicks team who knows Alan Houston best, it's Jeff Van Gundy. You must know that before Lamar joined the Knicks, Alan Houston was definitely the ace of New York, and Jeff Van Gundy's biggest killer feature!

If Alan Houston hadn't made the decision last summer, Van Gundy would never have traded Houston to the Orlando Magic for the current Glass Grant Hill.
