After Kobe Bryant announced that he would retire at the end of the season, Kobe Bryant would be asked in every media interview if he still insisted on this decision? Has anything changed?

Kobe Bryant's answer is very firm every time, yes, he will definitely retire, even if he scores another 30 points or 40 points, Kobe Bryant knows his body, he knows that he should leave.

And the temptation of this question thrown by Xie Chen is also very great, Xie Chen is the best point guard in the league, he has become the first person in the league after only two years in the league, and the help and improvement of the team and his teammates are also obvious, if Kobe and Xie Chen partner for another year, then the Lakers will inevitably become a championship contender again, and Kobe may get the sixth championship ring!

Everyone knows how much he wants to be on par with Jordan's ring index!

However, Kobe Bryant still shook his head with a smile, when he first entered the league, he assisted O'Neal to win the championship, in his twilight years, he didn't want to be a supporting role anymore, and Karl Malone's story told him that there are some things, no matter how hard he can't get it, no matter how hard he tries to, he still can't get it, and the five championships may have been arranged by God a long time ago.

But what exactly will happen in the future, no one knows.

A game has made countless people feel emotional, there will never be a showdown between Xie Chen and Kobe Bryant again, just like now we miss Jordan and Kobe Bryant very much, such a picture will never appear again, and many fans of the two couldn't help but shed tears.

After the game, Kobe Bryant also hugged every player and coach of the Knicks, and every hug was quite hard, especially against Fisher, Odom, and Phil Jackson, these old friends and rivals, including Ray Allen, talked to Kobe for a long time before leaving.

The Knicks were in Los Angeles for five days, and they all didn't want to leave it, and almost everyone had some affection for Los Angeles. Xie Chen's wife grew up here, Ci Shiping, Odom, and Fisher are all Lakers veterans, and they are all teammates of Kobe Bryant, and Phil Jackson has gained another glory here.

After two straight games in Los Angeles, the Knicks' road trip isn't over, and they're back in the East. The next opponent to face is the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards have little hope of making the playoffs, and with the Charlotte Hornets on top of them, John Wall arguably had the best season of his career, averaging 21 points plus 9.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

Among them, the average assists per game and the average steals per game are all second in the league! And the first place, very unfortunately, is Xie Chen.

If there is no Xie Chen, then John Wall will be the assist and steal king of the season this season, even if he can't make the playoffs. This is also an honor, and Wall is not a guy who admits defeat easily, when the All-Star vote was held, he was not convinced that Irving was more voted than him, and he also tried his best against Xie Chen.

It's hard not to admit that Wall is excellent, and there is often only a thin line between excellence and greatness, Wall is one of the very few players in the league who has the ability to cross this line, although Xie Chen didn't play very seriously in this game. But he was still stimulated by Wall's excellent ability and seriously abused him for a small wave.

The Wizards aren't having a good time right now, and they seem to be putting all their chips on pursuing Durant in the summer. So it's not surprising that they won't make the playoffs this season, and Wizards head Glenfeld's theory is that any appropriation of salary space will cause trouble for the Wizards to chase Durant, but the Wizards only have Walbier and Gortat, how can they attract Durant to join?

Now there is news that Durant will re-sign his contract with the Thunder for another year. Then wait to become a free agent with Wei Shao and prepare for a bigger contract.

If that's the case, what about the Wizards? Another cold look? If you don't make it to the All-Star Wall, you'll be so angry that you jump to your feet, and if you don't make the playoffs, Wall will go crazy.

"You know, I'm actually no worse than you. Any aspect. John Wall said to Xie Chen with both hands. By this time, he had already got two pairs.

Xie Chen ignored him.

"You see, I can lead the team to victory over the opposition, it's as simple as that." John Wall said to Xie Chen with a smile that at this time, it was already the fourth quarter, and the Wizards were leading by a large score, and they were already winning.

Xie Chen still ignored him.

He felt that he would let him think so, and Xie Chen didn't want to tell him that in fact, he deliberately released the water this time, and in less than a month they were going to pack up their things and say goodbye to this season, so it was better to fish in a better mood.

……

Orlando, Florida.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are visiting Orlando, they just beat the Orlando Magic on the road, and continue to consolidate the first place in the East, James is playing very easily, Love and Kyrie Irving are very good, and James does not need to do much at all.

The playoffs are getting closer and closer, they are the first in the East, and there is no need to worry about the record, so after the big win against the opponent, the team members talked about the fun of the game when they had a group meal.

Shambaught smiled and said: "Irving, your Gaioladipo's 360 layup is so beautiful, this guy is self-righteous when he shoots a few difficult goals, he has to play such a fancy action, or in front of a freestyle basketball master like you, it's simply self-defeating, haha." ”

Owen was also very happy when he remembered the hot pot he gave away: "This guy didn't accept me, he was working against me the whole time, spewing trash talk with me, and I was thinking about whether to beat him up like Chris Shea did before he would be quieter." ”

Shambaugh hurriedly said, "I'll definitely be the first to help you teach him a lesson." ”

When the two mentioned Xie Chen, James suddenly remembered that the Knicks also had a game today, so he asked: "By the way, does the New York Knicks also have a game today?" The result? They're only 13 games away from the end of the regular season and I think they're going to have a 13-game winning streak at the end of the regular season and they won't lose a single game, how many points did they win today? ”

Assistant coach Tyronn Lue knew that James was very concerned about Xie Chen's movements, so as soon as the game was over, he went to check the game data of the Knicks and the Wizards, and replied to James: "They didn't win this game, they lost by 13 points in Washington." ”

"What? Will they lose to the Wizards? James was so shocked that he lost his appetite at all. This time he became even more flustered, panicked to the point of being overwhelmed!

James couldn't stop shaking his head: "No way, there's no reason for them to lose to the Washington Wizards, especially at this critical time, any team teetering on the edge of the playoffs will try their best to win every win!" Unless...... They don't want to win! ”

The Cavaliers were stunned, not understanding what James meant. How can there be an eighth-ranked team that doesn't want to win? If you win, you can at least keep the eighth position, God knows if you will be pulled down by the ninth and tenth in the end, and second, who would want to play against the strongest team in the East? will try their best to avoid it.

In James's heart, there has always been a terrible guess, this guess is that Xie Chen deliberately wants to face the knight in the first round! Xie Chen wants Black Eight James!

James asked anxiously, "What is Xie's data?" ”

Blatter on the side glanced at it, and Tyronn Lue replied: "22+10, the Wizards' point guard John Wall played extraordinarily tonight." Maybe he succeeded in restraining Xie. ”

After hearing this, James immediately put down his knife and fork, stood up, and the whole person was serious and terrible: "This is not the data that Xie should have, it is impossible for the Wizards to prevent Xie from only scoring 22 points, and it is even more impossible for Wall!" He couldn't stop Xie Danjie with 22 points! I'm going to watch the game footage. ”

After James finished speaking, he quickly left and went back to the room, Blatter glanced at it and said to everyone: "LeBron is too sensitive. Don't be nervous, just keep eating. ”

James went back to his room to watch today's game between the Wizards and the Knicks. He tried not to watch this game with a subjective attitude, but he still couldn't do it, Xie Chen's every offensive choice made James feel that he was letting go of water and didn't want to play, which was not an attitude of wanting to win at all!

After watching the video, James lay on the bed and clenched his fists fiercely: "He actually wanted to meet me in the first round." He actually wanted to black eight me! What did I do to be sorry for him, he had to be so ruthless, he had to insult me in this form before he would stop!! ”

Why!

James doesn't understand! He and Xie Chen are not deep hatreds, of course, the two are definitely the biggest competitors. They are all competing for the first place in the league, they are all competing for the championship, but they don't have to meet in the first round of the playoffs, right? Xie Chen is so confident?

James didn't suspect that Xie Chen still had hidden abilities at all, which was useless!

Two hours later, James summoned both the main players and the coach to his room.

"Xie is going to play us in the first round, and they are deliberately losing to keep the team in eighth place." James sat on the bed, completely different from when he beat the Magic.

"Huh, huh? This guy is so funny? Coach Blatter let out a sneer.

However, this sneer made James angry, and asked Bratra: "Knowing such a thing, you can still laugh?" Do you know how serious this is? It's going to completely disrupt the rhythm of our playoffs! ”

Blatter saw that James was really angry, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I want to say that even if he has the confidence to win us, there is no need to risk beating us in the first round, everyone knows that the second-ranked Raptors are an easier opponent to deal with, and they are too stupid to do this!" Phil wouldn't agree with Xie's crazy idea, and even if he really wanted to, standing in eighth place at the end of the regular season was not such a simple matter, maybe if they were not careful, they would fall to ninth place and say goodbye to the playoffs! ”

After Blatter finished speaking, Shambaught and the others also laughed.

James was angry, none of these people could understand James's worries and fears! He wasn't afraid of meeting Xie Chen, but Xie Chen's motives were too ruthless, and he actually wanted to blacken James, which was too bad, James would never give Xie Chen this possibility!

But what about Coach Blatter and these teammates? Don't analyze Xie Chen's bad intentions, but think about the possibility of Xie Chen's thoughts, James is not an idiot, how could James not know what they said!

At this time, it was Tyronn Lue who stood up: "I think LeBron's worries are very necessary, Xie these games are really like releasing water, not only Xie, but Cameron too, if they really agree to destroy us in the form of Black Eight, of course, we are not afraid of them, however, we can't give them this opportunity." ”

James nodded to Tyronn Lue, the whole team, he still knows the heart of Emperor Zhan best!

James said: "Taryn is right, I promised everyone, I will definitely avenge last season's revenge, but it is by no means in the first round, and now the Knicks are trying their best to black eight us, which is a very shameless and immoral behavior!" I feel sorry for Phil, we must not give them such a chance! ”

"And what do you mean?" Irving doesn't have much say in it, in fact, he really wants to play with Xie Chen's Knicks in the first round.

James gave assistant coach Tyronn Lue a look, and the next words James was embarrassed to say in person.

Tyronn Lue knew the heart of Mousse and said to everyone: "The Toronto Raptors behind us, the record is not much worse than ours, and in the next game, I think we have to deliberately lose and be the second-place team in the East." ”

"What do you say? Let's deliberately lose the rest of the games and go for second place in the East? Are you crazy? How much have we paid for the victory in the past time? The honor of being first in the East was earned with the sweat of all of us, and I don't agree with that! Blatter was anxious when he heard that the team was going to fall to second place to avoid Nixton, as a coach, especially a coach who has been coaching in Europe and has not achieved much success in the NBA, he is absolutely unwilling to give up such an honor as first in the East.

James sat on the bed and didn't look at Blatter: "I know the aura of being first in the East looks good, but for us, the championship is all that matters, and I agree with Tyronn Lue's proposal." ”

As long as James agrees to something, in the Cavaliers, it is basically a sure thing, and Coach Blatter is very embarrassed, and he advises James: "This decision is too hasty, we are not even sure if Xie really intends to humiliate us in the way of Black Eight, what if he doesn't plan to do it?" ”

James looked at Blatter: "Then let's pay attention to the next game of the Knicks, the next game of the Knicks is tomorrow, we just don't have a game, and then you will know what he really thinks." ”

Blatter nodded helplessly, and finally left in a bad mood.

After everyone left the room, James took a rare cigarette, he exhaled a deep puff of cigarette, and his eyes instantly filled with smoke: "Why are you so confident?" I'm going to kill you in this year's playoffs! (To be continued.) )
