Among the large teams of the Lakers team that arrived in New York, the reporters who came to greet him did not find Kobe. For the reporters' questions, the Lakers team was secretive, and in the end, head coach Phil Jackson gave an ambiguous answer: "Maybe Kobe Bryant just went to make up for his regrets!"

The reporters present were all confused, and at this moment, two people were ***** in the Knicks' training hall. Normally, at this time, the Knicks have finished their last training session before the game, and they are all going home to prepare for the evening's game.

The doors of the training hall were closed, and only the constant sound of banging and squeaking sneakers against the floor told everyone that it was still not peaceful!

After one of them threw the ball backhand into the basket, the hour-long contest finally came to an end. At this time, both of them were so tired that they lay on the ground without any image, panting heavily. Surprisingly, these two people are Lamar and Kobe!

If reporters see such a scene today, there will definitely be a big headline in the newspaper tomorrow.

Lamar didn't expect Kobe Bryant to call out of nowhere today and ask him to the Knicks' training gym. Probably like Jackson said, since there is no way to compete with Lamar on the court, in order to make up for the regret, the two of them simply have a good fight before the game.

For such a challenge, Lamar of course did not refuse, and the result was that the two of them exhausted their means and fought exhausted, but they still fought a dead end. Lamar relied on his physical advantage to beat Kobe Bryant, and Kobe Bryant also relied on his excellent skills and flexibility to beat Lamar to the ground.

After lying down for a while, Kobe Bryant stood up first, silently walked to the wall to pack up his things, opened the door of the training hall and walked out, and the guy didn't say a word from beginning to end. Lamar was the same, lying quietly on the ground looking at the ceiling as if nothing had happened.

The two of them haven't said a few words since they met.

"It's coming!"

"Start?"

"Good!"

With similar personalities, if something like that hadn't happened in Los Angeles back then, maybe these two people would have become inseparable confidants, but now everything is irreparable, and the two will never be friends in this life.

The two are now like Johnson and Larry Bird, who are destined to be enemies for the rest of their lives. Although they appreciate each other, the only one who can stand in the end between them is one person.

In the game that night, Lamar went to the scene, and although the Knicks led by Billups played very tenaciously in the cheers of more than 20,000 Knicks fans, they still could not get rid of the fate of defeat.

The Lakers led by Kobe Bryant had the last laugh, but at the end of the game, it was not difficult to see that Kobe Bryant's face was sinking like water, and he was not in such a good mood. Maybe for the arrogant Kobe Bryant, there is nothing to be happy about beating a Knicks without Lamar!

In his post-game press conference, Bryant once again expressed his disappointment: "I didn't feel challenging at all in this game. That rookie did a good job, but unfortunately he's not my opponent yet! It's just that that will have to wait until the Knicks make it to the Finals, and I hope they can do it. I don't want to be disappointed all season!"

Lamar immediately responded, and it was clear that Bryant's words made him feel underestimated. So Lamar's tone sounded a little cold when he responded: "He wants to compete? I don't think I need to wait until the finals." Of course, I don't think the Lakers have the ability to get past the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the battle between him and me is left to the All-Star Game. ”

The results of this year's All-Star voting have actually come out a long time ago, but this time the league's move seems to be a little sluggish. The starting lineups for the East and West All-Star Games, which should have been announced in early January, were delayed this time as if the league had forgotten about it.

Lamar wants to compete with Bryant in the All-Star Game for the East and West All-Stars, but it seems to be a little difficult right now. Because of the suspension period, the question of whether Lamar is eligible to attend the All-Star Game has been left open.

With the entry of the Chinese market, the alliance has become more and more influential in the world over the years. For the development and image of the league, David Stern attaches the most importance to the image of NBA players. This shrewd Jewish old man hopes that the NBA will not only become the world's No. 1 league, but also that NBA players can play an exemplary role among teenagers and become a model for teenagers' growth. This is also the reason why he has been constantly suppressing the unruly AI, Lamar, and Garnett over the years, and praising Kobe, Tim Duncan, and Ray Allen.

The devastating effects of the Staples Center incident, which ultimately led to Lamar's suspension, have caused an uproar around the world. There are two protagonists in the incident, one is the symbol of today's NBA center, the veteran superstar Shaq O'Neal, and the other is Lamar Odom, a popular student in the NBA and known as the No. 1 player in the NBA.

That night, the two men fought like street thugs on the field, but they were seen by countless fans through the global live broadcast. The impact on the fan base can be imagined!

Later, because of this brawl, the fans of the two even caused a large-scale violent clash for this. Fortunately, it did not create an irreparable situation, otherwise David Stern's position as NBA president under his ass would not be secure.

After this incident, David Stern also wanted to punish the players on both sides severely, and it was best to ban Lamar, the troublemaker, for life. It's just that Lamar was a victim at the time, and he was on the side of self-defense and counterattack, and I don't know what means the Knicks boss used, half of the league's disciplinary committee actually interceded for Lamar, and in the end, the glowing butcher knife in Stern's hand could only be raised high, gently fallen, and banned for 20 games.

As for the upcoming All-Star Game, David Stern's opinion was to cancel Lamar's participation on the grounds that Lamar, who caused the violence, did not represent the image of an NBA player. Of course, the ideal would be for the fans to brush Lamar off in the polls, but apparently his idea can only be a fantasy.

With Lamar's unrivaled influence, a small violent conflict is unlikely to have much impact on him. The only way left to keep Lamar out of the All-Star Game was for the league to issue a ban, but the idea met with significant resistance as soon as it was introduced within the league.

The All-Star Game is all about bringing together the best stars in the league to provide a visual feast for fans. If a superstar like Lamar can't participate in the NBA's No. 1 star crown, then what's the All-Star Game?

So when Stern brought the idea up, even the league staff, who usually don't have a lot of eye contact with Lamar, objected.

Lamar is indeed in the suspension period, but the scope of the ban is limited to regular events such as the NBA regular season and playoffs, and show-like games like the All-Star Game are not within the scope of the ban at all. What's more, Lamar is now without any injuries, and Lamar has more than one million more votes than the second-place drug name, and it is simply unreasonable to ban Lamar from racing.

Seeing that no one agreed with him, David Stern was annoyed. In a fit of rage, he made the stupid decision to put the matter on the league's official website and let the fans decide whether Lamar was eligible to represent the Eastern All-Star team in the All-Star Game.

As a result, as soon as the questionnaire came out, it was immediately criticized by many people, especially those old guys who had long since retired, and even scolded Stern for being a bloody dog.

"I think he's just crazy! This investigation is ridiculous! If Lamar isn't qualified to represent the Eastern Conference All-Star team, who is?"

"Chris Bosh, Paul Pearce, or Anthony Walker? I think they should all be thankful to that old ghost in Stern, because he set a standard for the All-Star Game: Lamal is the watershed, and only those who are better than Lamar can participate in the All-Star Game. Then I'm going to congratulate them, they can all go on vacation to the Caribbean. ”

Rodman, the flower worm, was the first to stand up and question the league as Lamar's New Year's friend. If he hadn't retired before, he would have had a little bit of an estimate of David Stern, the leader of the league, but now he is a free body, and he is no longer Stern's player, and Stern is no different from a pile of shit in his eyes!

"Stern always thought that only he was the savior of the NBA, and only he could make the NBA go out into the world. But he's nothing, this guy is just an old fool! It's us players who really make the NBA go to the world, and the reason why those fans worship us, cheer for us, and applaud us is not to watch a bunch of sissies play on the court!"

Not long after Rodman expressed his opinion, another old friend of Lamar, the old tough guy Mourning who was laid off by the Heat due to injury this season, also stood up to speak for Lamar: "I believe that the fans would prefer to see the collision of iron and blood back then! I don't think there's anything wrong with Lamar, he's a young man, and I think if it were me, I might fight O'Nealdo for a few rounds to see who has the harder punch." Finally, I'm going to advise that old fellow David Stern, it's better to stop messing around, he's ruining the NBA!"
