Making statues for people who have made outstanding contributions is a very high compliment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This practice has existed since ancient times, and it is not uncommon.

However, in China, because of the opposition to the "cult of personality", no one has been treated like this in recent decades.

In the United States, however, it is very common, especially in the sports world, where there are several statues standing outside almost every arena.

Outside the Staples Center, home of the Lakers, in addition to the statue of "Magic" Johnson, there are several other celebrities in some other sports.

Such a high honor, of course, is not so easy to obtain, and it must be made an extremely outstanding contribution.

Like "Magic" Johnson, who brought a total of 5 championship trophies to the Lakers, he is at the forefront of the Lakers' various statistical lists, and he is the first person in the current team history to win this honor.

Jordan's case is a bit peculiar.

Basically, the team made bronze statues for them after they retired or died.

But as early as 1994, Jordan led the Bulls to three consecutive championships, and then announced his retirement, and the Bulls erected a bronze statue of him at the gate of the United Center.

At that time, the Bulls probably didn't expect Jordan to choose to come back.

After Jordan returned to play for the Bulls in 1995, the Bulls couldn't have removed his bronze statue.

Therefore, Jordan became the only player who was still playing and had a statue.

Some people may have opinions on this, but it is not mainstream.

Because even if Michael Jordan didn't bring the Bulls a second triple, his outstanding contributions to the Bulls and the NBA are fully worthy of that honor.

This is Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball", his achievements in basketball, even if cut in half, can be compared to the best people in basketball history.

And coupled with the achievements of the more than three years after his comeback, he is the undisputed first person in NBA history, the god of basketball, no one before or since.

Countless basketball lovers idolize Jordan.

Countless basketball players, following Jordan's example.

Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway were the same.

Today's Iverson, Kobe, Maddie, Carter.

Lu Xiaofeng in the past and present life is the same.

The so-called "seeing the wise and thinking together", standing under the bronze statue of Jordan, Lu Xiaofeng was inevitably excited, and the sentence "The big husband should be like this" resurfaced in his mind.

I'm afraid that every NBA player who comes here to play will have this idea in his heart after seeing the bronze statue of Jordan.

Lu Xiaofeng, who didn't take the Bulls and Hinrich to heart, was aroused by Jordan's statue and made up his mind to perform well tonight.

The United Center Arena has a capacity of nearly 21,000 spectators, second only to the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Lakers' Staples Center, on the other hand, can accommodate less than 19,000 spectators.

With a gap of more than 2,000 people, Lu Xiaofeng's feelings are obvious.

Moreover, Jordan has cultivated a large number of loyal Bulls fans for so many years with the Bulls, and the enthusiasm of the audience is significantly higher than that of the audience at the Staples Center.

When it was time to compete, hearing the enthusiastic shouts of the audience, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but get excited, and his blood was boiling.

The Lakers' starting lineup is still the same, Mime, Odom, Butler, Kobe and Lu Xiaofeng.

The Bulls' starting lineup is very different from the last time they met, they put Chris Dujon and Rohr Deng, two rookies this year, into the starting lineup, and put Tyson Chandler on the bench.

Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng was not facing Xin Liqi, but Du Hong.

Facing Eddie Curry, a big fat man, Mime, who jumped the ball, once again won the ball for the Lakers.

The basketball Butler grabbed passed the ball to Lu Xiaofeng and ran to the front court, Du Hong took two steps forward, stared at Lu Xiaofeng cautiously, didn't dare to stick it, but lowered his center of gravity.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, knowing that he had lost the opportunity to attack quickly.

As he played more and more, his steady and dazzling performances certainly caught the attention of various teams, and he gradually became the focus of his opponents.

His game footage has definitely become a must-see content for the opposing coach, and the opponent must be slowly familiar with and summarize his technical characteristics and habit preferences.

If you attack like before and hit the opponent by surprise, I'm afraid you won't have much chance in the future.

Slowly dribbling past the halfway line, Odom was about to come up to block and dismantle, but Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and stopped his movements, because Kobe Bryant was already in a good position on the edge of the three-second zone.

Lu Xiaofeng, who was excited, was originally going to attack this first time by himself, and after blocking and dismantling Odom, he either scored three points directly or broke through to make a layup, but he didn't expect that Kobe's desire to attack was so strong, and he turned on the offensive mode so early tonight.

glanced at Kobe Bryant's defender, but it was Luo Er Deng, the Bulls' dual-point guard tactics, and chose to switch defenses on the defensive end, so that Luo Er Deng, who was more physical, to defend Kobe.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that Kobe Bryant is teaching newcomers a lesson!

It's his favorite thing to do.

In fact, not only that, Kobe Bryant, like Lu Xiaofeng, thought that this was where Jordan achieved great things, and as the "successor of Jordan", he couldn't help but be high-spirited.

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and gestured, and Meme, Odom and Butler all ran to the weak side, giving Kobe Bryant room to attack.

Lu Xiaofeng dribbled the ball to the flank and passed the ball into steadily.

The Lakers' positional battle is either to block and dismantle, or to play Kobe Bryant's alone.

Kobe Bryant is facing Rohr Deng, a rookie, tonight, and it is not a bad choice to let him play alone.

At this time, Kobe Bryant's back-to-back singles skills have not yet been practiced to the point of perfection, and he prefers basket singles.

So, the moment he received the ball, he took a step forward, and then turned around to face the basket.

Luo Er Deng is obviously very nervous, as a rookie, to defend the current "scoring champion", he obviously has no confidence, I just hope that Kobe Bryant will not be in too good shape tonight, and will not beat him too badly.

As soon as Kobe Bryant turned around, Luo Erdeng took a step back, for fear that if he was too close, Kobe suddenly activated and could pass him in one step.

Bryant didn't rush to dribble, and after a tentative step, he made a pull-up jumper.

Rohr Deng didn't shake up, took a small step back, and immediately adjusted his pace again, staying in front of Kobe, he must have done his homework before the game, knowing that Kobe Bryant likes to make feints.

Oh, I didn't shake it, and Kobe Bryant also had a smile on his face.
