Chapter 126: The Best Response
All-Star Game in 2016.
Theoretically, it was Kobe Bryant's last All-Star Game.
After all, it was decided to retire halfway through the season.
The tour was also done.
The tribute to each away team was also given.
If Corvo suddenly says he can't quit.
That's kind of sorry for the audience.
Kobe Bryant participated in this All-Star Game before.
What I thought in my heart was not to fight or to grab.
Make your last All-Star trip.
But the All-Star break had a 13-2 record.
It made Bryant's mentality very different from the middle of the season.
His competitive spirit was reinvigorated.
He didn't want to finish the last season of his career without a dull finish.
Yes, Kobe Bryant is such a competitive player.
Where there is a glimmer of hope.
He won't give up on winning more.
The hope that the Wang Shuang and the team's trade brought to the Lakers.
Bryant's desire to win was reinvigorated.
At the All-Star Game, his teammates kept making the ball for Kobe.
Kobe Bryant didn't shirk either, and he shot when he could.
The Eastern Conference All-Stars didn't defend well either.
gave Bryant a lot of shots.
The only thing causing trouble for Kobe Bryant isn't the defenders in the East.
It's a teammate in the West – Westbrook.
Westbrook didn't mean to let Kobe Bryant in the slightest.
The score is scored, and the basket is rushed.
The scores of the two alternated upwards.
In terms of competitiveness, Wei Shao is no worse than Kobe.
And Kobe Bryant said it.
The alliance is most like him is Wei Shao.
As a result, the two of you fought for me.
Almost let the Western troops lose.
These two people are really ruthless when they fight iron.
Toronto's baskets are a bit overwhelmed.
In the end, Kobe Bryant was still the better one.
The West team won the game, while Westbrook scored 31 points.
Bryant scored 27 points, and the AMVP accolade was still bagged by Westbrook.
But Kobe Bryant didn't mind that.
That's what happens in the NBA.
Honor is grabbed.
It's not for me.
I wanted to play in the All-Star Game in 2003.
Confirmed to be the last All-Star of his career.
Everyone wants to give the MVP to Jordan.
As a result, Kobe Bryant spoiled the situation.
Let the eastern troops lose the game.
The special oversized MVP trophy was taken away by Garnett.
But Jordan wasn't embarrassed either.
The arena is like that.
There is always uncertainty.
Now it's Kobe's turn to be disrupted.
He didn't care.
Instead, he generously congratulated Westbrook.
But Bryant didn't forget to say to Westbrook: "We'll see you in the playoffs. ”
Westbrook nodded, "Hope to see you guys in the playoffs." ”
Westbrook is a straight-hearted man.
He won't taunt Kobe.
Saying that the Lakers are not in the playoffs yet.
Moreover, the Lakers' momentum right now is extremely ferocious.
No one can ignore their presence.
After playing the All-Star Game.
The Lakers as a team got two more days off.
After a well-rested day, the fatigue of the road trip is gone.
The whole team immediately threw themselves into a new battle.
On March 19, the Lakers faced the San Antonio Spurs at home.
In this game, Spurs Leonard was sidelined due to injury.
But even so, Spurs are very strong.
But the Lakers aren't the rookie Lakers anymore.
The two sides fought at the Stamp Center.
It's an offensive war.
Both sides felt excellent in attack.
The score is soaring.

Four sections.
The usual Spurs killer Kobe Bryant stepped up again to decide the trend of the game.
With the assistance of Wang Shuang, he scored 8 points in a row.
Helped the Lakers maintain their lead.
Eventually, in one go, 120:115.
Won the game.
After winning this victory.
The Lakers' win came to 23.
It continues to maintain its position in the tenth place in the West.
Maintain pressure on the Jazz and Rockets in front.
After that, the Lakers went on the road.
Link, Bulls, Bucks, two Eastern powerhouses.
The Lakers are on a five-game winning streak.
The team was in full swing for a while.
All of a sudden, the gap with the eleventh king was widened.
Continue to test the pressure towards the Jazz and Rockets in front.
However, on February 24, the Lakers visited Memphis.
Randolph, Allen and others returned to their former home turf.
I don't know if the fans at the scene were too enthusiastic and made their hearts soften.
The two young men who are still the Lakers are too vindictive.
In this game, the Grizzlies played extremely ferocious and excellent.
Randall and Wang Shuang are enemies when they see each other, and they are very red-eyed.
After arriving at the Grizzlies, Randle took Randolph's place.
The two are quite similar in shape and style of play, and they are both left-handed.
This time, Randle was in a big swing under the basket.
He scored 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting.
The Grizzlies backcourt Conley scored 24 points.
The Grizzlies gave the popular fried chicken Lakers a dismount at the Federal Express Arena.
In the absence of the main center Gasol Jr.
130:114, a 16-point advantage over the Lakers.
It brought the Lakers' five-game winning streak to an abrupt end.
This game really made Randle and Russell's fans raise their eyebrows.
Wang Shuang's performance in these games has been very stable.
Each game is at a level of 15+10+5.
As long as there are no moths on the mission.
He's a perfect team player.
Don't fight for merit, don't brush data.
Even if the ball is in his own hands.
He doesn't shoot around, he distributes the ball.
Let the team play more smoothly.
In this game with the Grizzly Bears, Wang Shuang also played normally.
He's really quite stable.
16 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists.
However, the Grizzlies broke out as a team.
It's away again.
was beaten by a fat meal.
There is no way around it.
It stands to reason that victory and defeat are commonplace.
There is no way to win all the time and never lose.
But this game has its peculiarities.
High-pick drafts like Randle and Russell.
It was originally the focus of the Lakers' training.
As a result, he was suddenly traded in the middle of the season.
There is only one reason: the Lakers are more optimistic about Wang Shuang.
For Randle and Russell, the blow to confidence is one thing.
And even more so with a plummeting reputation.
was originally in Hollywood, as a potential star.
With exposure, he may be an all-star in the future.
Once you become an All-Star, endorsements and signed sneakers will follow.
Well, now I was squeezed out by a failed draft.
From Los Angeles to Memphis in the South.
To follow in Elvis Presley's footsteps and release a record?
The exposure of the two went down all of a sudden.
Can they have no opinion in their hearts, can they not hate?
Therefore, of course, when you meet your old club, you have to fight to the death.
After winning the game, Randle was even more blunt in an interview:
"Time will tell who is the better player and who is the right choice."
Wang Shuang did not give any response to this.
The reason is also very simple.
Because the next battle between the two sides is in two days.
The Memphis Grizzlies visit Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers in Stamps.
For Wang Shuang, the performance on the field is the best response.
