The loss was a good thing for the Bobcats, who had won 41 in a row, and after losing the game against the Warriors, they relaxed.

In back-to-back battles on the 27th, they faced the Lakers.

Because it was back-to-back, the Bobcats were in a bit of a bad physical condition, and this match was supposed to be a strong matchup, but the relaxed Bobcats played a perfect attack instead.

At the beginning, they took a lead of about 5 points by constantly shooting from the perimeter, hitting consecutive shots, and scoring consecutive points.

Bryant broke out again, but he couldn't match the Bobcats' outburst.

The five-point margin widened to 11 points at halftime and 17 points at the end of the third quarter, and in the end, the Lakers suffered a heavy defeat at home, and the Bobcats returned to a win after ending their winning streak, and they did not lose themselves because of a loss.

After this victory, Qiao Hai also found Kobe Bryant for a while.

The Bobcats' offer for Kobe Bryant was rejected by the Lakers without any suspense, but Kobe Bryant has also officially submitted a trade request to the Lakers on the grounds that the Lakers' management has once again failed to act, missing out on Kevin Garnett and missing Jason Kidd again.

The Lakers naturally rejected Kobe's trade request, but after Mitch Kupchak explicitly rejected the trade, Kobe Bryant spoke directly to the media.

Kobe Bryant was interviewed by ESPN, and in the interview, he directly expressed his desire to leave the Lakers.

"Mr. Jeribas promised me to build a championship squad around me, but right now, I don't see any movement from management, they missed Kevin Garnett, they missed Jason Kidd, Mr. Jeribas' promise, there is no sign of delivering on it."

"Management broke their promises, so I'm asking to leave the Lakers now, and I want to go to a team that has the ability to compete for a championship."

As soon as Kobe Bryant spoke out like this, the incident fermented, and the Lakers were no longer able to take the initiative.

Taking the opportunity of this game, Qiao Hai found Kobe Bryant and chatted for a while.

Kobe Bryant is obviously not resistant to joining the Bobcats, and from the current point of view, only the Bobcats have the greatest chance of beating the Rockets to win the championship.

Kobe Bryant wants a championship, and the best option is to join the Bobcats.

Therefore, after Qiao Hai recruited several times, the Bobcat has become Kobe's first choice!

……

After playing the Lakers, the Bobcats left Los Angeles and headed to the Denver Plateau, where they beat the Nuggets on the road to make another winning streak.

After playing the Nuggets, the Bobcats returned to Charlotte.

After Qiao Hai returned to the base camp, he immediately asked Kevin Pritchard to make another offer for Kobe, and this time, the Bobcats' offer became Michael Ridde's first-round pick to the 76ers, as well as the Bobcats' own first-round pick.

Qiao Hai added another first-round round that was not very valuable, wanting to win Kobe Bryant with the least loss.

As for Shaquille O'Neal's deal, the Bobcats have already closed talks on the deal and made a final offer.

Because Qiao Hai found that the Nets seemed to be using the Celtics to raise the price and want to extort the Bobcats.

After the Bobcat made a last bid, Kichi Vanderwich called back and opened his mouth to ask for Danny Granger, but Qiao Hai naturally refused.

He then asked Kevin Pritchard to re-bid for two first-round picks from Rivra Frentz, Anthony Parker, Jose Barria and the future Bobcats, and marked that this was the final offer!

As soon as the final offer came out, all the Bobcats had to do was wait for a reply from the Nets.

Of course, the Nets have to do something simpler, they can use the Bobcats' offer to compare the Celtics' offer, and whoever has the better offer will complete the trade with whomever they want.

However, Qiao Hai already felt that their bid was already the highest, and no matter how high it was, there was no doubt that they would lose money, and it was impossible for them to raise the offer again.

As for Bryant's deal, negotiations have only just begun.

……

In the last game of January, the Bobcats won 104-87 against the Knicks at home, and the end of the 41-game winning streak was followed by another wave of three consecutive wins.

After playing the January game, the All-Star voting results were released.

Yao Ming ended the streak of vote kings, and LeBron James rose to get 2.51 million votes, beating Yao Ming, who had 2.45 million votes, to become the new vote king.

The Bobcats also finally have an All-Star starter, and the newly joined Kevin Garnett, with 1.61 million votes, ranks second among Eastern forwards, second only to LeBron James, and becomes the Eastern Conference forward starter.

Chris Paul also got 2.02 million votes, and the first guard in the East also became the starter.

The starting point in other positions in the East, the center is Shaquille O'Neal, who has just been traded to the Nets, and he got 1.62 million votes.

The other defender was Gilbert Arenas, who received 1.45 million votes, but he only had 3,000 more votes than Vince Carter, a narrow advantage.

In the West, Yao Ming is a well-deserved center starter, the two forwards are Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan, and the guard is Kobe Bryant and Maddy.

In contrast, the starting lineup of the Western team has not changed much, and the Eastern team is no weaker than the Western because of the trade and the rise of young star players.

The first release, the head coach of the All-Star Game has also been determined, although Qiao Hai led the team to win the first record in the league, but because he had coached the All-Star Game last year.

A coach can't coach the Stars for two consecutive All-Star teams, so this year's head coach of the East Team is the head coach of the Cavaliers, who are currently ranked second in the East, McBrown.

In the West, Stan Lorefour will not coach the All-Star Game for the same reason, and the current head coach of the Dallas Mavericks in the West, Avery Johnson, will become the head coach of the All-Star Game.

Qiao Hai is not the head coach, and the choice of substitute players is naturally not here for Qiao Hai, and Michael Reed, who only got 300,000 votes in this All-Star vote, cannot be sure whether he will be able to play in the All-Star Game.

……

In the first game of February, the Bobcats faced the Cavaliers again.

The plot of this game is similar to the historical plot of the Bobcats against the Cavaliers, the Bobcats used a two-step defense and a defensive strategy to prevent James from breaking through on the right side, locking James, and James's teammates did not play much.

Then the Bobcats won easily.

After this game, Reggie Miller on the commentary bench sighed: "Although the Cavaliers are second in the East, they have never had a chance against the Bobcats, and Qiao Hai's defensive strategy can always limit LeBron James to death." ”

"Every time the Bobcats play the Cavaliers, they win steadily!"

After winning this game, the Bobcats won another wave of 4 consecutive wins.

Then, after this game, the Bobcats fought the Warriors again, taking revenge 108-90 and winning five in a row.

But on Feb. 5, they lost to the Heat on the road, and the winning streak came to an end.

After a few games in February, the Bobcats followed up with two trades, and there is finally news.
