In the history of the NBA, there has never been a player whose retirement game has been compared to Kobe's retirement game today, not even Jordan back then.

Jordan shook Russell's jumper in the sixth game of the 98 Finals to seal the victory and won the second triple championship, which became the deepest impression of Jordan by many fans, and perhaps in the hearts of many people, that game was Jordan's real retirement game.

In the 98-99 season, the NBA's season shrunk due to labor disputes, and Jordan also announced his second retirement because of a conflict with the Bulls management.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Jordan did not hold a retirement game, and Jordan made a comeback a year later, which somewhat reduced the enthusiasm of fans. Later, when Jordan really retired, because of the plummeting athletic performance and form, the retirement game was not worthy of his historical status.

Unlike Jordan, Kobe Bryant announced the time of retirement a year ago, and the final retirement game is the finals that determine the championship, and the venue is still at Staples Arena, whether it is the Lakers or sponsors, they are naturally willing to hold a retirement game for Kobe Bryant that meets his identity.

Around this retirement match, huge media resources were mobilized as early as half a month ago, and people all over the world who follow the news will pay attention to this game!

Many Kobe Bryant fans even quit their jobs and traveled thousands of miles to Los Angeles just to be able to see Kobe's final performance live.

In a sense, Kobe Bryant's retirement game has become a pinnacle in the history of world sports, and no one dares to say it, but at least it is unprecedented.

In addition to some loyal fans, the spectators sitting in the stands of Staples Arena are full of entertainment superstars, sports celebrities, super-rich people, and political and business celebrities, and Rao is not comparable to the Oscars.

For this reason, various TV stations have already broadcast live half an hour before the official start of the game. And according to the pictures given by the live director, the TV audience is introduced to the star-studded celebrity audience.

For Chinese audiences, in addition to the members of the Xiao family, today's scene has also become a celebrity recognition competition, and almost every camera turns to the stands, and many celebrities can be seen. Thereinto. There are also a lot of celebrities in China, and the increase in the Chinese elements of the Lakers is also an important place for more celebrities to regard Staples Arena as an important place to brush up on the layout.

At 8 p.m. local time in Los Angeles, the fifth game of the NBA2016-17 Finals started on time, and the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant and Xiao Feng sat at Staples Arena to face the Cavaliers led by James.

As the whistle blew, TV commentators from more than 100 countries introduced the game to domestic audiences in their own languages, and the game reached more than 1 billion viewers!

This is also the most watched game outside of the World Cup finals and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and when NBA commissioner Silva received the ratings from the headquarters, he also smiled!

According to real-time data from the TV ratings survey agency in the United States: More than 50 million Americans are tuning in to the game, which is the most watched game in NBA history.

And in the far east, more than 300 million people are tuning in to the game because it is Sunday morning, and hundreds of millions of Chinese families are locked in to the sports channel of Huaxia National Television.

Such a huge amount of data almost made Silva faint with happiness, he has been committed to the internationalization of the NBA, but he did not expect Kobe Bryant's retirement game to do this.

Thinking that Kobe Bryant is going to retire next season. It is also because it is the NBA league for balance considerations, which is also a regret for Silvaho.

But. With the staffing of the Lakers, even if Kobe Bryant retires, they still have the strength to compete for the championship, which is also able to keep the NBA competitive enough and the game is still exciting.

…………

After the game started, Xiao Feng also knew that this game was of great significance to Kobe. is also trying to create opportunities for Kobe, and other players are also trying to run and block to leave better space for Kobe to shoot.

Facing his last game, Kobe Bryant did not suffer from gains and losses, and his shots were still extremely resolute. He scored 18 points in the first quarter and shot an astonishing 8-of-12 shooting.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers have already shown some signs of rout after losing Game 4, and even with James, Love and Irving trying their best, the team is still playing extremely dull.

At 29:24, the score between the two sides did not open too much, but for those who are familiar with the basketball game, according to the state of the players on both sides on the court, the Lakers' victory is only a matter of time.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant and Xiao Feng did not get off the court, and under their leadership, the Lakers still put huge pressure on the Cavaliers, forcing the Big Three to extend their playing time. However, the Cavaliers' physical disadvantage became more and more apparent as time went on, and the second-half collapse laid the groundwork.

Kobe Bryant's hand did not get cooler in the second quarter, 6 of 12 shots, Kobe Bryant had scored 32 points at the end of the half, although it was a little far from his peak performance of 62 points in the third quarter and 81 points in the whole game, but this is a 39-year-old veteran who is about to retire, such a performance is top-notch enough!

After halftime, the Cavaliers were already behind by 9 points, although it didn't seem like much, but James, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt that this distance was extremely far away!

As a superstar launched by the NBA in the 21st century, James has been in the league for many years, and has represented two teams in the finals seven times in a row, which is an unprecedented feat. So far, James has had a staggering 8 Finals experiences, second only to Kobe Bryant's 9 among active players.

However, what embarrassed James was that he only won 2 championships in 7 finals, and those two times were considered by the media and fans to be won by hugging Wade's thigh, how could this not make the arrogant little emperor feel aggrieved.

For the past decade, the NBA has been heavily promoting '23vs24', but James has not beaten Kobe Bryant or the Lakers in the Finals, and this is his last chance.

Unfortunately, when the team fell behind 1:3 on aggregate. With James trailing after halftime, even though James was still struggling, his teammates had no motivation to move forward.

The second half of the game was a replica of the first, as James and his Cavaliers didn't show the courage to fight to the end, quietly dying in the Lakers' Boiled Frog tactics when the margin between the two teams increased to double digits heading into the fourth quarter. Everyone realizes that the game is won and lost.

In the interval between the pauses in the game, major television stations have begun to broadcast various video materials of Kobe Bryant, thus honoring the legendary superstar who left a brilliant resume in the NBA.

Although Kobe Bryant only won 4 scoring titles and 3 regular season MVPs, he is far from Jordan in these two statistics, but he surpasses Jordan in some statistics, which also makes the historical status of the two more controversial.

Kobe Bryant surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone in total points to rank first all-time, and his soaring rankings and scoring were helped by more than 3,500 points per season for the past two years, making him the NBA's all-time leading scorer. After Kobe Bryant won today's game, the number of championships reached 7, which is just one more than Jordan, and it also gives him more confidence.

At this time, various showdowns between Kobe Bryant and Jordan in the All-Star and regular season appeared on the TV screen, which also made the audience feel a lot of emotion and tears!

For many fans who like Kobe, the young, curly-haired No. 8 has become a No. 24 veteran in the passage of time. This is actually everyone's youthful past!

Perhaps, when I first saw Kobe Bryant playing. Now 20 years later, the former boy chasing the wind has become a slightly rich middle-aged uncle, dragging his family with his family, and he can no longer find the simple happiness he had at the beginning!

Kobe Bryant retired. It doesn't have too much direct relationship with the fans in China, because life has to go on, and everyone will continue to work tomorrow. It's just that because Kobe Bryant retired, many people evoke memories of their youth. Looking back on the past, some are just moved!

I have to say that the nostalgic series of publicity carried out by sponsors and TV stations around the 'Kobe Bryant retirement game' successfully made this retirement game into the hearts of countless fans and TV viewers around the world, which is the biggest publicity achievement of the game.

As the game continued, the Lakers' lead became more and more obvious, even if James and others tried their best to fight back, the Lakers' backcourt double guns often extinguished the Cavaliers' resistance at the first time, completely killing the game!

When there were 2 minutes left in the game, the Cavaliers replaced James, Irving and Love and announced that they would abandon the game, and the Lakers also replaced Kobe Bryant and let him accept the cheers of the fans!

At this time, the audience of 20,000 people stood up and chanted 'MVP', giving the warmest applause to the hero in their hearts, and it was also the best farewell to their past youth!

"Bryant was substituted, it's the end of a great era!"

Su Xiaoqun, a TV commentator on Huaxia TV's sports channel, said emotionally: "In the past 21 years, Kobe Bryant has made the NBA more exciting and attractive, and his retirement is also the disappearance of the last personality superstar of the NBA. ”

"People will no longer hear the sound of basketball hitting the floor at 4 a.m. in Los Angeles, no more iconic step-back jumpers, no more No. 24!"

For Kobe Bryant's performance in this game, all commentators unanimously agree, after all, the score of 62 points is the 10th 60+ performance of Kobe Bryant's career, which is also the highest score of a retired player in all retirement games in the NBA, Kobe Bryant unknowingly set a new record!

More than a minute after Bryant went down, the game ended, and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 118-112 to win the Finals with a total score of 4-1 and win the championship.

This is the 18th championship in the history of the Lakers, which makes the Lakers surpass the Celtics and become the team with the most championships in the NBA, and the Lakers dynasty is unshakable!

This is the seventh championship of Kobe's career, which allows him to surpass his idol, the 'God of Basketball' Jordan, and realize his childhood dream!

The defeated James and the Cavaliers were hard to tell the pain in their hearts, but from the beginning of this game, they were stuck in a quagmire of strength and nowhere to go, and they were unable to break free until the end of the game. The atmosphere of the entire Staples Arena is for Kobe Bryant's perfect retirement on the throne, and in this case, the Cavaliers, who were originally slightly inferior and fell behind by a large score, are unable to turn the tide!

Looking deeply at Kobe Bryant, who was holding the microphone and talking to the fans at the scene, James led his teammates into the players' tunnel without looking back, this place does not belong to them!

Not being able to beat Kobe Bryant in the finals may become the biggest regret of James' career, but life has to go on, losing in the finals, James can only put down his mood as much as possible, and fight again after returning from vacation!

In the analysis of James and many basketball experts, the Lakers who lost Kobe Bryant will still have the strength to compete for the championship, but they can no longer be as invincible as they have been in the past two seasons, maybe this is the opportunity for teams such as the Cavaliers and Warriors!

No one cares where James and the Cavaliers go, because all the spectators and cameras are focused on Kobe Bryant, who will be the last time he will appear on Staples Stadium wearing the No. 24 jersey.

"Although I made the decision to retire five months ago, when the day actually came, I still found myself so reluctant!"

"I've been a fan of this team since I was five years old and when I knew I could get into the team and play for it, it was one of my happiest moments!"

"Thank you to the team and the fans for their support over the past 21 years, although I have made a lot of mistakes, your perseverance has given me the motivation to start again, I love you!"

"Thank you Vashani and the two babies, I will have more time with you in the future instead of staying at the training ground and the stadium all day, thank you for giving me happiness, I love you!"

…………

Kobe Bryant's speech moved the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, even though he has made many mistakes and has various shortcomings, but it is undeniable that Kobe Bryant's most sincere feelings for basketball and the Lakers.

Even Kobe Bryant has to admit that Kobe Bryant is the greatest legendary superstar in NBA history, even if he is not ranked first, at least in the top three.

Kobe Bryant is not a player with physical perversion like James, his success comes more from his almost brutal training, and there is no fluke in the success of paranoia, and Kobe's ups and downs in his career and near-perfect farewell undoubtedly add more halo to his legendary experience.

Now, Kobe Bryant has finally retired, and in addition to his fans, those who hack him all day long are also stunned, because they can no longer see the most special person in the NBA!

Maybe there will be a second Kobe Bryant in the NBA, but people will never be able to get back the past 21 years! )
