In the fourth quarter, the Warriors fell too far behind, and there was no hope of a reversal, and Zhou Xuan was replaced in the sixth minute.

As soon as he went, Sun Yue was sent up to replace Kobe, and the two failed to get the opportunity to match, and the two CCTV commentators shouted regret.

Sun Yue didn't show much in garbage time, scoring a point on 0-of-2 shooting, grabbing two rebounds and handing out an assist.

105-136 in the game, the Warriors lost by 31 points, and they lost without temper.

Bryant scored a game-high score, scoring 34 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Zhou Xuan had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists, and failed to make a double-double assist. The Lakers' individual defense ability is outstanding in several positions, especially dominating the interior, forcing the Warriors players to only jump shots, and their hands are not very good today.

After the game, Zhou Xuan walked to the Lakers bench, raised his hand and said, "Hi, Kobe." ”

"What?" Kobe snorted and didn't give him a good look, thinking that he was going to provoke again and say something like revenge next time.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said lightly, "I'm here to apologize." I provoked you on the court, because I knew that you like to be separated from people, and you might single me when I said those things, so that I could test the gap between myself and you. You're really strong, you're an amazing superstar. Maybe you think I don't respect my seniors, but looking at your status and data, I think you're not old yet. That's what I want to say. ”

Kobe Bryant saw that Zhou Xuan came to talk to him sincerely, and he was not angry. And Zhou Xuan said his favorite words - "You're not old yet"!

Kobe Bryant is still at his peak, and he certainly doesn't feel old. With a little smile on his face, he stepped forward and shook hands with Zhou Xuan and said, "You are not bad, you have been well defended in a few rounds." No wonder you are ahead of Paul in the star vote. ”

"I'm looking forward to working with you at the Phoenix All-Star Game, and I'm sure we'll win easily together." Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, and took another fierce medicine.

He didn't want to offend Kobe Bryant's senior for the time being, after all, the number of Komi was amazing, and even if the spitting star couldn't drown him, he wouldn't get any benefits.

"Cooperate with me? Aren't you going to give Yao Ming more passes? Kobe Bryant looked at Zhou Xuan's eyes, and the tone of his voice was different. He thinks that cooperation is to pass him more balls, and thinks: This kid is really good, and he is simply two people on the court, but it is a pity that he couldn't be in the Lakers, otherwise this year's championship will be nine out of ten.

"I also want to pass him a few more, but Yao Ming can't perform, and the star game is the world of the outside." Zhou Xuan calculated Kobe's character, and what he said was what the other party liked to hear.

Kobe Bryant is a showman. In 1998, Kobe Bryant made crazy shots in his first Star Game, scoring a Western Conference-high 18 points and 6 rebounds on 7-of-16 shooting, and although he didn't win the MVP, he became the youngest All-Star player; In 2002, he scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the game and was elected MVP of the 2002 All-Star Game; In 2007, he scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, and won the All-Star Game MVP.

As long as he gets the All-Star Game MVP one more time, Kobe Bryant's All-Star Game MVP count can tie Michael? Jordan, ranked second in league history, and the first in the league is St. Louis Hawks star Bob? Petit's four times.

With Kobe Bryant's current competitive state, it should be no problem to play in the All-Star Game for another 5-6 seasons, with every chance of winning a fourth All-Star MVP trophy, and even hopefully surpassing Petit to the No. 1 spot in league history, when he will be the first person in league all-time history.

Many people say that after Jordan, Kobe Bryant is the best successor and the best basketball superstar on the planet. Kobe Bryant is often compared to Jordan, and he's catching up with Jordan and following the path Jordan has taken. From his every move in basketball skills to his love for basketball and his desire to win, Kobe Bryant has the shadow of Jordan. And Kobe Bryant doesn't want to be just an imitator, and he won't let go of any opportunity to surpass Jordan.

"I hope you can be a star." Kobe Bryant patted Zhou Xuan's shoulder and sighed, "You are very different from the Chinese of our team. ”

It must be different, Sun Yue didn't greet Zhou Xuan, nor did he celebrate with his teammates, and stood aside in a daze as if he was out of his body.

"I'm back in the locker room, it's nice to play against you." After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he walked in the direction of his team, Randolph had not returned to the locker room yet, and was waiting for him. On the court, he and Kobe Bryant thought about it in pieces, Randolph saw it very clearly, afraid that they would fight, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan and Kobe to come back after talking for a while.

"What did you say? How does it seem like a good relationship? ”

"I said he's great and I'm looking forward to the All-Star Game with him. The provocation is to win, I hope he can understand, probably that's it, Kobe Bryant is very talkative. ”

"Kobe Bryant is easy to talk to? You're the only one in the league who thinks so, right? Randolph couldn't laugh and cry, and went back to the dressing room with Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan made use of psychology. It's actually very simple to get along with an egocentric person, just follow him, you listen to him when he complains, he brags about your flattery, and it's better to treat him as a god. He is upset with you, you say a few things that he likes to hear, and things of interest divert his attention. Kobe Bryant is a somewhat willful and childish person, and Zhou Xuan, a child from a poor family, is more mature than him.

At the press conference, the old Nelson did not blame the players, although he lost, which is understandable in terms of the current lineup. The players played well, especially Zhou Xuan's eye-catching performance today.

Zhou Xuan was asked by reporters about the alignment with Kobe Bryant during an interview.

"You played Kobe Bryant a lot of time today, is that the coach's arrangement? What do you think? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's the coach's arrangement, and I think it's very pleasant to defend him." ”

Defending Kobe Bryant was a pleasure to the surprise of the reporters present. Someone suspected that Zhou Xuan's English was not good and his expression was wrong, and asked, "I'm sorry, you just said it was very pleasant?" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Yes, happy, although I lost today, I have the opportunity to play against superstars and find my own shortcomings, which is the fun of the game." He's hard to defend, what I'm going to do is push him to use his stamina, make his shots less easy, and then see how it goes. ”

The reporter asked: "Today you blocked Kobe Bryant's shot, how do you do that when there is a difference in height?" ”

Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Come to the Warriors, Stephen?" Jackson taught me a lot. Defending Kobe, I'm very focused, and if I don't, I know I'm going to pay a heavy price very quickly. But at the same time, it's also a fun thing to do, he's like a yardstick against me, he's a future Hall of Famer, and it's a great sense of accomplishment to be able to defend him, interfere with his shots and block breakaways, and that's why I laughed when I lost today. ”

The reporter asked: "What do you want to say about Kobe?" ”

"He was the best of the golden generation in 1996, a great star." Zhou Xuan said a very simple evaluation.

The evaluation in his heart Zhou Xuan didn't plan to say it. He thinks Kobe Bryant is a hard worker, but the ball quotient is not high enough to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses and play endlessly. In fact, Kobe Bryant can be stronger, just change the style of play slightly, Zhou Xuan feels that if he has Kobe's talent, he can shoot suddenly and attract the bag, the score will not be less, and the assist data will definitely look better.

In Zhou Xuan's opinion, Kobe Bryant is not a perfect star. He has a lot of personal honors, three championship rings, two scoring titles, a regular season MVP, and he has everything he should have, except for the Finals MVP. All he has to do now is prove that he can win without O'Neal and has a good chance this year. And his personality may be a little selfish, which causes many people to hate him, but it has to be said that selfish people are more likely to succeed.

On the side of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant also praised Zhou Xuan for the first time, which made the reporters even more surprised, looking at the game, the two seemed to be able to fight at any time.

Kobe Bryant's personality is like this, although he was provoked, but if he understands the reason, he doesn't hate Zhou Xuan, both of them are people with a strong desire to win. He only hates one kind of person, and that is people who don't work hard and waste their talents. So he openly ridiculed Kwame? Brown, put Smush? Parker also disparages worthlessness. But he admires the stars who work hard in the league. Like Paul? Pierce, the two of them spewed trash talk on the field, and they were still friends off the field. Trash talk in the NBA couldn't be more normal.

Bryant said: "I was surprised by Zhou Xuan's performance, and the numbers speak for themselves. I didn't expect him to be so good before the game, he has every ability to be an All-Star. ”

The reporter asked: "Do you think Zhou Xuan can become the best rookie this year?" ”

Bryant laughed: "Is there still suspense about this question?" ”

Phil? Jackson said in an interview: "It's a pity that Zhou Xuan played for a while with the defenders, and the scouts didn't find his true value, so he missed out on the Lakers. But we don't blame anyone for this, after all, his success was too sudden and unexpected. No one thought he would reach such heights in the summer. ”

After this match, the number of "Xuanhei" decreased again. On the court, selfishness is easy to be hated, but Zhou Xuan is not selfish. When Nash won the MVP, many people were not convinced, and when Nash won the MVP, there were also some "old blacks", on the grounds that Nash was the team's defensive black hole. But Zhou Xuan is not a black hole, he can match Kobe, and he really prevented it a few times.

Some people are already impressed by Zhou Xuan's defense, he seems to be stronger than Nash now, if Nash is allowed to defend Kobe Bryant alone, it will be bad, Kobe Bryant doesn't know how many points he scores.

If you want to bite Zhou Xuan again, what reason do you use? Fewer scores, fewer rebounds, fewer blocks, that's all.

The major media did not lower their evaluation of Zhou Xuan because the Warriors lost, but began to pay more and more attention to him. The big-name rookies who were originally favored by Lu have good data and bad records. As long as there are no injuries this season, everyone has reason to believe that Zhou Xuan can make history and become the best rookie with the lowest pick.
