The Lakers maintained a strong winning streak in this high-profile battle, and as they continued to move in the direction of their best record, the rest of the NBA realized that beating the Lakers was not an easy thing to do, and strategic abandonment began after the third quarter.

Being able to surrender without a fight is naturally something that the Lakers are happy to see, after all, it is not a good thing to have bayonets in every game.

The Lakers could take this opportunity to reduce Kobe's playing time as much as possible and gradually push Jeremy Lin to the position of the main point guard in preparation for next year.

As a 38-year-old veteran, Kobe Bryant has been in the league for 20 years, and he is no longer the first person in the league 10 years ago. Although Xiao Feng helped Kobe Bryant get rid of the injury, he could not prevent Kobe's physical function from gradually aging.

Judging from Kobe's performance this season, his offense is still sharp, although the average points per game has dropped by 6 points from last year, but the average points per game of 36 points per game is still the peak of his career. However, on the defensive end, Kobe's deterrence has dropped significantly, and his physical fitness can no longer support him to show the state of the league's first person at both offensive and defensive ends.

Some experts pointed out that if it weren't for Xiao Feng's joining and Kobe's miraculous recovery, I am afraid that Kobe would have retired after last season, and would have left the NBA where he had played for many years in a helpless and painful way.

Now, with no less than Jordan's championship ring in hand, he can finish his final season in a more relaxed and decent way. It's a comfort to him and to the fans.

Because Kobe Bryant has made it clear that he will retire at the end of the season, he will play one less game in the league. Almost every one of them was enveloped in a thick farewell atmosphere.

Even if the teams in the West or the same division have to play 3-4 games this season, it is not time to say goodbye, but for some fans in the East, being able to see Kobe Bryant playing in his own city arena is only the last game left.

As a result, after the start of the season, the Lakers traveled to the East several times to play away games. Every arena was full, and the fans wearing Kobe Bryant's No. 24 jersey became the protagonists.

In the 21st century, Kobe Bryant is the best scoring guard in the league. For a long time, he was synonymous with the first man in the league, and his place in the hearts of fans around the world can be imagined.

Some say that since Jordan's retirement, Kobe Bryant has been the closest point guard to Jordan. Whether it's his ability, the way he scores, his fighting spirit or his accolades. are indefinitely approaching Jordan.

Especially after winning the NBA championship last season, Kobe Bryant has equaled Jordan's number of championships, which makes his career no regrets, not to mention that he won the scoring title with a record 42 points last season, which is even more precious.

This season, the Lakers continue to maintain a strong momentum, and the probability of successfully defending the title is quite high, which can undoubtedly draw a perfect end to Kobe's career.

In front of the honor of the group. Kobe, who is nearly forty years old, will no longer play petty for the so-called 'boss' vanity like the original 'KO' group. As a result, he also consciously reduced his playing time. The number of shots was reduced so that the rest of the team could fill the gaps in the position and prepare for next season.

In this way, Kobe Bryant's playing time per game is controlled to about 28 minutes, and he can put more energy into offense and leave no stone unturned. Although Bryant's defense on the court this year is almost none, his 36 points per game average is still a good support for the team.

In the atmosphere of bidding farewell to Kobe, each of the Lakers' road trips is less tense and more warm, which also makes the confrontation on the court less bloody.

Every time he sees local fans waving various flags in support of Kobe Bryant away from home, Xiao Feng is still a little envious in his heart, which is the best praise for Kobe's 20-year NBA career!

Even the media, basketball experts and extreme fans who were previously obsessed with whether Kobe Bryant was better or James was better did not find fault with Kobe Bryant's historical status.

No matter how many people think that James is better than Kobe, but for now, James will have to wait for his next 10 years of career to have a better performance and more honors to reach Kobe's heights. However, if James wants to win more than five championships at the end of his career, he must not only defeat Xiao Feng and others, but also meet the challenge of more rookies!

Kobe Bryant, as the first person in the NBA in the past, is going to retire, and it is no longer his own business!

Therefore, the grand farewell ceremony obtained by Kobe Bryant after his arrival on the road has also become a major feature of this year's Lakers away games, and even many media have made many special series of reports for this.

Fans not only supported Kobe Bryant on the court, rushed to watch his idol's final game, but also contributed to the All-Star Weekend vote.

The NBA announced its 2017 All-Star shortlist in early December, and it quickly caused a huge stir, with fans flocking to the league's official website to vote for their idols.

Originally, people thought that Xiao Feng would be far ahead like last year, but after the results of the first round of voting came out, everyone fell through the glasses.

Kobe Bryant's vote rate was much higher than Xiao Feng's, with 300,000 more votes, of which fans from Huaxia contributed the vast majority of their strength. Judging from the results of this round of voting, the long-term live broadcast of Lakers games on Huaxia Sports Channel has received excellent results for many years, and Kobe Bryant has a considerable number of fans among Huaxia fans.

Fans across the NBA league and around the world are seeing off the legendary superstar in this way!

"I'm grateful for the support of the fans, it's the best gift of my career!" Kobe Bryant said emotionally in an interview with ESPN, "Basketball has been the most important part of my life for as long as I can remember. It's not easy to leave, but after 20 years of fighting in the most competitive alliance in the world, my body can't hold it anymore. It's time to say goodbye!I'm lucky, because of the addition of the boss and the hard work of the medical team, I was able to play for an extra year, and I won a championship ring, and now I'm moving on to the next one! I have no regrets in my career, and leaving at this time can leave a good impression on everyone, after all, people don't want an old man's bleak back, right?"

Bryant was interviewed publicly. And told this touching and heartfelt journey, which also made major media scramble to report, and attracted widespread attention around the world.

After all. For the past 20 years, Kobe Bryant has been the best scoring guard since Jordan, known as the 'closest man to God', and he has an impact that no ordinary NBA star can match.

After entering the 21st century. Kobe Bryant's brilliant performances have earned him a huge following around the world. Many fans from all over the world came to the United States to see Kobe Bryant's final season show.

To this end, the NBA league has also urgently taken measures to reserve seats for fans from all over the world, which is also an important measure to enhance the international influence of the NBA league.

In this way, an event that was already of great significance has become the focus of global attention after organized publicity and promotion.

Kobe Bryant was sent to the altar. In addition to the NBA league, it also sets an example for all young players and talents who have not yet entered the NBA. It inspired them to love basketball even more.

For players under the age of 20, the legend of Jordan is so old that it is difficult for them to understand the significance of Jordan to the NBA league. But Kobe Bryant is not, as a new generation of idols created by the league, he is fortunate to catch up with the information explosion and the Internet era, so that his image has spread to more parts of the world, and more young players have grown up watching Kobe's games.

Take several young players in the Chinese men's basketball team as an example, when they began to get in touch with basketball and began to learn to watch basketball games, it was the era of science and technology. In their minds, Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player in the world, and his every move is imitated by fans, and Kobe's stop-and-go jumper is the most common action on the campus basketball court!

Kobe's retirement was gilded with a sacred halo and became a highlight of the season, which caused many international media to scramble to report.

In this atmosphere, whenever the Lakers' games become warm, the Lakers also know that the so-called winning streak and season winning rate are no longer important, and the biggest scenery on the court should be left to Kobe.

With this mentality, the Lakers' performance has become more relaxed, and because of their strength, they often win games without much effort.

In this way, the Lakers easily broke the 25-game winning streak they created last season, not only setting a new opening streak record, but also attacking the longest winning streak in history!

At this time, the opponents of the entire NBA did not have the same intention of hating the enemy, nor did they desperately block the Lakers, so as not to kill the enemy and lose 3,000 themselves.

By the time the clock ticks December 20th, the Lakers have started a 34-game winning streak, and if nothing else, they could win 36 in a Christmas streak, the best start to the game and the longest winning streak in the NBA.

After a lot of media coverage, the eyes of the world are focused on the No. 24 Lakers game against the Cavaliers at Staples Arena, and the significance of this game is needless to say.

In the finals last season, the Cavaliers led by James were swept by the Lakers, which also became a huge scar on James's heart, and he returned home in the finals for 5 consecutive years, and James enjoyed this honor in NBA history.

What made James even more depressed was that the dream team he led actually lost to the Chinese men's basketball team in the final of the Rio Olympics and lost the opportunity to win three consecutive championships. This kind of blow has brought great damage to James's psychology more than the NBA Finals, because the Lakers can also use Xiao Feng as an excuse to have Kobe, Mark and Aldridge as helpers, but in the Chinese men's basketball team, there are only two teammates with NBA rotation strength, Space Yi and Zhou Qi, and the Dream Team is much stronger on paper than the Cavaliers.

This summer, in order to continue to attack the championship, the owner of the Cavaliers was also scared, traded Okafor and other powerful insiders, paid more than $30 million in luxury tax, and almost formed an All-Star starting lineup.

With strong strength, the Cavaliers currently have an impressive record of 30 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the entire league, if it were not for the Lakers' 34-game winning streak in front of Jewel, James can be described as proud of life.

This time, the NBA league arranged the most important Christmas game as the first battle of the East and West, repeating the scene of last year's Finals, which can be described as well-intentioned.

This time, James also needs to fight hard to prove that he can lead the team to defeat the Lakers and win enough psychological advantages for the Finals!

With four days to go before the Christmas game, the entire Staples arena has already begun to prepare for this feast, but fortunately, the Lakers and Clippers will play the next two games on the road, which will not affect the decoration of the arena.

For the Clippers, who almost knocked the Lakers off the throne in Los Angeles, every day since the start of last season has been bitter, and their previous five or six years of hard work have been in vain, and they are back to before liberation all at once!

Seeing the city's rivals soaring, although the Clippers ranked fourth in the West is already a good result, the Clippers can't be happy.

In these years, the bitter thing is that the league has an invincible division, and what is even more bitter is that it is in the same city as this king team and shares a stadium.

The Lakers beat the Pelicans and Grizzlies on the road, taking their winning streak to 35 straight wins, which is the same as the record set last season. Next, as long as they can beat the visiting riders in the Christmas battle at home, they can combine the two records into one and become a coveted existence.

On top of that, the Lakers will also set a glorious record of 60 consecutive wins at home, and Staples Arena has become a nightmare for all teams, and no one has won in this hellish home court for more than a year!

Perhaps, in the second half of the following season, the Lakers' goal is to remain undefeated at home and continue to improve their home winning streak to an unprecedented 82 consecutive wins.

Whenever a professional analyzes the Lakers' various records, they can't help but feel sore, because the Lakers have set too many records in the past two years!

Compared to the frustration of professionals and opponents, Lakers fans are naturally singing, dancing and elated, and they can't wait for the team to keep winning until the end of the world!

In the midst of this mixed emotions, the Christmas game finally arrived, and fans around the world were all focused on Los Angeles and Staples Arena! )
