Thirteen years have passed, and it is difficult not to be reminiscent of the scene of Michael Jordan's last All-Star in 2003, thirteen years later, another NBA superstar is leaving, and in these thirteen years, there is only one superstar of this level Kobe Bryant, next time, I am afraid it will take nearly ten years, and it will be LeBron James who will leave at that time, and after James, only Xie Chen is worthy of this honor.

Retirement is really a distant thing for Xie Chen, after all, this is only his second year, think about Kobe Bryant has played in the NBA for 20 years, you know how long Xie Chen's future road is, but he is at the peak of his debut, and he will not want to stay in the NBA for so long like Kobe, Xie Chen will choose to retire at his peak when he has achieved enough honors, and when he can't find an opponent, even if he was not even thirty years old at that time.

Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded, and everyone expressed their respect for Kobe, and Toronto fans should have hated Kobe Bryant, because Kobe Bryant scored the second-highest 81 points in history on their team at the time, and Kobe Bryant only needs to meet the Toronto Raptors.

Not to mention, just two years ago, when the Lakers played the Raptors in 2013, Kobe, who was 34 years old at the time, played the best game in three years, with 41 points and 12 assists, leading the team to a 118-116 reversal, when the Lakers were once 15 points behind.

Even in the past two years when the shooting rate has gradually declined, Kobe Bryant has played the Raptors very crazy, and the Lakers' record last season was very poor, but in the face of the Raptors, Kobe Bryant played 31+11+12, becoming the first player in NBA history to score 30,000+ and assist 6,000+ in his career, and the Raptors also made Kobe Bryant the first player in history to play 30+10+10 at the age of 36.

So. The last time the All-Star could be at the home court of a team that always made himself warm, Kobe Bryant was still very satisfied.

Off the court, Jordan, Pippen, as well as Kobe's friends and old enemies Maddie and Iverson all came to the scene to watch the game, and even Xie Chen's teammate Ray Allen also came, which shows the significance of Kobe Bryant to them. At the same time, having such a difficult opponent is a kind of luck for the strong.

This year's All-Star roster is mostly the same as last year's, with several new faces appearing in everyone's eye, such as Hassan Whiteside of the Heat, Draymond Green of the Warriors, and Kevin Love, the Cavaliers, who were not selected as All-Stars last year, all of whom received a lot of votes.

This year's All-Star Western Conference starters are: Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry, who are also the two players with the most votes in the West. There is also Kevin Durant, who is back with full blood, Dream Green and Anthony Davis. Green and Davis, the two newcomers, overwhelmed the monsters Howard and Jordan Jr., which also made people aware of the change of times.

On the eastern side, Xie Chen, James, Wade, Kevin Love, Hassan Whiteside, this lineup still makes Xie Chen feel very cordial, Wade and Hassan are his former teammates, and the other two James and Love are also teammates on the same team.

Wade was overtaken last year because Justin Bieber canvassed for Kyle Lowry, so fans are also very strong this year. And Wade vs. Kobe Bryant, compared to Paul George vs. Kobe or anyone else. It's better to come, after all, Wade and Kobe Bryant are also friends and foes, and they are the real opponents.

Before the game, unlike last year's serious scene when the west relaxed and the east relaxed, this year the east and west sides were particularly relaxed, and the west side chatted and joked. There was also a lot of laughter on the eastern side.

Xie Chen was so happy to be able to play with Wade and Hassan, the two good brothers, on the same team again, and punched Hassan when he went up: "I didn't expect you guys to really be selected as an All-Star, or a starter, I guess there will be many netizens who say that the championship I won last year was to hug your thigh." ”

Hassan was also excited, after all, he came from the Development Alliance. No one thought he could gain a foothold in the NBA, but he didn't expect that people not only stood up, but also won the championship and became an All-Star this year! It's really an inspirational story.

Hassan smiled: "I said man, of course you won the championship last year thanks to me, and seriously, you really can't win the championship without me, so let's become teammates again." ”

When James heard this, he walked over with a smile: "What? Are you going to unite again? Where to go, count me in! ”

Wade quipped: "Anyway, Kobe Bryant will retire next year, Los Angeles is a good place, why don't the four of us go together to occupy Kobe's lair!" ”

"What a great idea!" James laughed.

Kobe Bryant didn't know that someone was playing his turf, and he was chatting with the Thunder and Curry Wharton in the players' booth, and soon, the game began.

This All-Star Game is an entertaining game for others, so they won't play as hard as they can, but for Kobe, it's the last All-Star Game, so Kobe will play with all his strength.

Hassan and Anthony Davis jumped the ball, or Hassan, the league block king, was better, first dialed the ball to Xie Chen, Xie Chen quickly passed the ball to Wade in the bottom corner, Wade hit a goal first.

The first goal was completed by the cooperation of the old partner, after Wade shot, he also smiled at Xie Chen, they all couldn't help but think of the picture of fighting for a year last season, so familiar feeling, and then think about it, the last time such a cooperation was eight months ago, it really can't help but sigh.

A lot of hot honey is also full of emotion, Xie Chen and Wade, what a dreamy combination, but it's a pity that it's only been played for a year.

After the goal, Hassan couldn't help jumping and said to Xie Chen: "Brother, give me one too!" It's my first time as an All-Star, and I can't get a zero egg! ”

Xie Chen smiled and ignored him.

Next, it was the Western Stars to attack, and when it was the turn of the West to play, the audience cheered up, and they were all staring at a player, No. 24 Kobe.

However, at the beginning, Stephen Curry did not take the initiative to give the ball to Kobe Bryant so deliberately, everyone knew that Kobe Bryant was the last All-Star, but it didn't have to be so obvious, Curry first gave Kevin Durant on the right wing, Durant faced LeBron James, a bit like a serious feeling. After a breakaway, he shot backwards, but it was ironed.

The small center Dream Green grabbed the rebound, and this time, he naturally handed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who was closest to him.

As soon as Kobe Bryant got the ball, the whole court shouted his name.

Wade couldn't help but smile wryly. This made him very embarrassed, he didn't know how to defend Kobe, the whole audience loved him so much, if he defended too fiercely, would he be scolded? If you don't defend with all your might, you will be scolded by Kobe, which is also not Wade's style.

At the 2012 All-Star level, Bryant received the ball in the low post and passed Wade with one turn. Wade had no choice but to hold Kobe Bryant from behind, but his hand was a little heavier, and he hurt Kobe's nose at once.

This incident has made many Cormi remember it, and when I heard that this year's All-Star is Wade, an old opponent, who defended Kobe, many Cormi were worried, but I can't let Cor get hurt again!

Kobe Bryant faced Wade, obviously excited from his expression. is also very serious, and he did not choose to break through. It was also a pull-up jumper, and at the end, the ball bounced straight out of bounds from the basket.

Bryant's first goal was ironed.

Yu Jia explained: "It's like, it's really like, Director Zhang." Do you remember Jordan's last All-Star in 2003, Jordan's first offense, it was also a jumper from this position, and then the ball bounced out of bounds? ”

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, it seems that there is such a thing. The two of them are not at their peak, the hit rate is also low, the difficult performance can't be played, and even the dunk may be dunked, so I hope the big guys can understand here, don't care about the victory or defeat, the hit rate and the like. ”

It can be seen that the western side is still playing very seriously, at least the offense is like this, and the eastern side, the next offense, initiated by James, I didn't expect James to dribble the ball quickly through the half, quickly accelerated, went straight to the basket, and rushed in with a one-handed split!

There was an instant exclamation at the scene, as if yesterday's dunk contest was not enjoyable, and James used all his strength to dunk this time.

"Is James ready to steal the limelight from Kobe?" Some people can't help but think so.

James really wants to find some sense of existence, last year's All-Star was stolen by Xie Chen, the most angry thing is that Xie Chen's first dunk is his own assist, this year James can be regarded as knowing how powerful Xie Chen's dunk is, but he can't think about fulfilling him anymore.

And for many fans, they didn't watch enough of Xie Chen's dunk yesterday, and they all wanted to see Xie Chen continue to dunk today, after all, Xie Chen used Vince Carter's ability to dunk and only dunk once.

Then, the West threw again, James went down quickly, squeezed through again, and the last two-handed back buckle made the atmosphere warm again.

Yu Jia exclaimed: "This time, James dunked twice, I'm really excited, is this a change of direction to stimulate Kobe's play?" ”

James can indeed stimulate Kobe, but unfortunately, the current Kobe Bryant can't complete the dunk like him, he can only respond in his own way.

Kobe Bryant received the ball in the low post and singled Wade with his back, a very familiar picture, Kobe Bryant has played against Wade several times in his life, but unfortunately he has never met in the finals.

I have to say that since Wade came to the Heat, his murderous personality has decreased a lot more than before. Now it seems more easy-going and less concerned about the outcome.

Kobe Bryant still used his best step-back jumper, and after shaking off Wade, he immediately turned over and leaned back, this ball Wade knew that Kobe was going to do this, so he just stretched out his hand, Kobe Bryant's second shot, and finally hit!

After Kobe Bryant's goal, needless to say, the scene became lively, this shot, compared to the excitement of James's previous two dunks, everyone is sighing, a year later, the All-Star, will never see such a picturesque action again, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem right, isn't Xie Chen of the Knicks also like this backward jumper?

After Kobe Bryant hit, Xie Chen originally wanted to control the ball and play a match with Hassan, but he didn't expect the domineering James to take the initiative to ask for the ball, but there was no way, Xie Chen handed the ball to him again, and after James got the ball, he made a mid-range shot and scored two more points!

"Three goals in a row! James: What's going on with this today? Looks like I'm really going to get serious. Yu Jia was surprised.

Zhang Weiping also said: "It's really, this is clearly going to compete with Kobe, I didn't expect James to take the lead in attacking Kobe Bryant at the beginning, this is the last time James will be an opponent with Kobe Bryant in the All-Star, and there will be no chance in the future, maybe James wants to enjoy the opportunity to face Kobe." ”

On the court, James, who made another shot, smiled at Kobe Bryant: "Look, I shot again." ”

Kobe Bryant also smiled, but although he was smiling on his face, the anger and fighting spirit in his heart had burned very violently, the last time he was an All-Star, and the last time he fought with James, Wade and Xie Chen, he must have a good time!

Kobe Bryant also took the initiative to ask for the ball from Stephen Curry this time, and he didn't need to cover it up, he just played it himself!

Wade obviously felt the change in Kobe's eyes, and couldn't help complaining to James in his heart: "LeBron, this guy has made Kobe anxious, and in the end, I have to defend him!" ”

Wade was also serious, following Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant held the ball at the top of the arc, and everyone else spread out, letting the two of them play alone, Kobe Bryant's moves were so many that no one could guess what kind of offensive method he chosen.

Suddenly, when Kobe Bryant dribbled, Wade rushed up and stealed! You know, Wade has broken Kobe's ball many times in the past, Wade knows Kobe very well, and this time is no exception, Wade's hand touched the basketball in an instant.

However, Kobe Bryant was also extremely alert, did not let Wade steal all at once, and actively remedied, and in the end, Kobe Bryant still forced the ball back.

Kobe, who was almost stealed, was even more angry, a quick change of direction, attracted Wade, and immediately raised his arm to make a shooting feint, Wade was really fooled, Kobe Bryant was a good foul maker, easily leaned on Wade, and threw the ball!

The ball goes into the net!

2+1！

The audience cheered, and Kobe waved his arms excitedly, excited. It's hard to see an All-Star first quarter hit like this.

Kobe Bryant faced James, Wade and Xie Chen and said, "You guys, whoever doesn't play with me today will not be allowed to play!" ”

Wade and Xie Chen looked at each other, only James laughed, Xie Chen glanced at James, James smiled: "This is Kobe, fans all over the world, including me, want to see the Black Mamba, okay, Xie, I have already fought Kobe Bryant three times, and then it is time for you to fight him." ”

"What?" Xie Chen was dumbfounded, damn it, you forced the strongest Kobe Bryant out, and then hand over the hot potato to me! (To be continued.) )
