During the Chinese New Year, the NBA regular season is still in full swing. After all, the Americans are not in the Spring Festival, so the schedule will naturally not be tilted towards the Chinese audience.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lakers will challenge the Thunder away. It doesn’t matter to foreign players and audience friends, but it’s a difficult choice for the three Chinese in the NBA league.

Xiao Feng rarely gave himself a vacation, and he only made the team's injury list for the first time in the second year of entering the NBA. At the same time, he also stayed for Al-Union and Jeremy Lin in Los Angeles to spend the New Year with his family.

In Xiao Feng's view, although the team's record is important, it is also a good thing to let the two compatriots spend a happy Spring Festival with their families. After setting a series of records, Xiao Feng no longer cares about winning one more game and losing one less game. After all, the team's biggest goal is to win the championship.

After the Lakers lacked two main players, Xiao Feng and Ali Lian, and lost the team's best sixth man, Jeremy Lin, although Kobe and Mark tried their best, the team still lost to the Thunder away on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Then they lost to the Mavericks back-to-back away. This was the first time the Lakers suffered a two-game losing streak in two seasons, making it on the front page of major media around the world.

However, even so, the Lakers only lost three games this season, and the winning rate of 52 wins and 3 losses is even more terrifying than last season. Perhaps they will set a new season record.

The Lakers' away trip continued, but Xiao Feng, Ah Lian and Jeremy Lin rushed to Miami on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. After all, if there is a three-game losing streak, it will be a bit unbearable.

The Lakers, with neat lineup, easily defeated the aging Heat away, and restarted the correct opening mode while ending their two consecutive losses.

In this game, more than 20,000 fans flocked to the American Airlines Center Arena, even exceeding the maximum capacity of the American Airlines Arena. Fans from all over the world hope to see the final showdown between the two major shooting guards.

With the Heat's form this season, even if they enter the playoffs, they cannot pass the Cavaliers' blockade. This means that this game will be the last collision between two legendary superstars. No matter from which angle it is analyzed, it is worth remembering.

With Xiao Feng's central command, the Lakers were resurrected with full blood, with a total of six players scoring in double digits, while Kobe scored 36 points. He used this method to announce to the outside world that he was not old yet.

On the Heat, Bosh was completely at a disadvantage in the match against UAE, scoring only 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, which was inferior to UAE's big double-double.

Wade, however, never got old and dragged his increasingly serious knee injury. He made 10 of 22 shots and scored 30 points in 6 free throws. He used this method to pay tribute to his seniors and opponent Kobe.

Although the Lakers easily won, the showdown between the two major shooting guards still made the audience in front of the TV excited. Perhaps after the pure shooting guards such as Kobe and Wade retired, they will never see such a classic showdown again.

After the game, Kobe and Wade stood in the center of the venue to accept photos and interviews from the media. Xiao Feng also knew that the protagonists of this game were these two, and quietly took other teammates back to the locker room.

In fact, similar scenes have appeared many times this season. Including the last photo between Duncan and Kobe when the Lakers were visiting San Antonio, they will also be precious information in the history of world basketball.

At this time, the outcome of the game is no longer so important, and the nostalgia to pay tribute to the legend is the theme of this season. This is not only seen in every regular season that Kobe, Duncan participated in, but also reflected in the upcoming All-Star weekend.

…………

The Lakers' Devil's journey of seven consecutive away games is still going on, but the Lakers never give their opponents a chance to defeat them. They still make their opponents desperate when they return to normal.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles with a five-game winning streak away, and there were only three days before February 18. The Lakers only need to play home games with the Pistons at Staples Arena to usher in the All-Star Weekend.

The Pistons are no longer the team that defeated the Lakers' championship, nor are they the "Bad Boys Legion" that repeatedly created nightmares for Jordan in the 1980s. Although they are strong contenders for the Eastern Conference playoffs, they still cannot cause any trouble to the Lakers away.

128:93, the Lakers used their two guns in the backcourt and scored 83 points together. This may be the most terrifying backcourt combination in NBA history. Not only is it unprecedented, it can be a future generation!

The more you see Kobe's outstanding performance, the more the fans' affection for keeping him. Every day, fans from all over the world leave messages on the Lakers' official website, NBA official website and other places, hoping that Kobe will play for another year!

You should know that with Kobe's current physical condition and competitive state, even if he is next season, he will still be a strong contender for the scoring champion. Everyone hopes that Kobe can achieve the great achievement of three consecutive championships again.

Unfortunately, ordinary fans would not know that the NBA league will definitely not allow such a bug to exist all the time. Kobe and Xiao Feng's departure alone has become a foregone conclusion.

"During this period, I have seen the messages that fans on the Internet have left behind, and I am deeply moved!" Kobe responded to this matter in an interview with ESPN and said with a look: "Actually, I also want to play for another year, two years, or even longer, but my body no longer allows me to engage in fierce professional competition for a long time. Now every game I play is enjoying the happiness brought to me by basketball, and I also hope to keep my best image in the hearts of fans!"

This season, Kobe has broken the NBA historical scoring record set by Jabbar, and scored 20+ in each game in two seasons, which has also created an unattainable record. If he wins the championship again at the end of the season, he will have one more than his idol Jordan. Kobe's career is no regrets!

Just leaving in a casual manner, although I feel a little reluctant, I won’t be too sad!

Kobe's decision to retire again resolutely also made everyone extinguish their thoughts and was full of expectations for Kobe's last All-Star weekend!

…………

After the game between the Lakers and Pistons on the 15th night, the celebration company that cooperated with the NBA League sent staff to the Staples Arena overnight to decorate the stadium to welcome the arrival of the All-Star Weekend.

This All-Star Weekend is the last time legendary superstars Kobe and Duncan participate, and this alone is enough to set the tone for the All-Star Weekend.

Kobe's position in basketball history is second only to Jordan's shooting guard. No one has been able to play the shooting guard to such a height since Jordan. He is a true legend. As for Duncan, even people who no longer like him too dull in the style of the game, they have to sigh that Duncan's career is like his shooting, as classic as a textbook.

Whether it is career statistics, performance on the court or honor. Even if Duncan is not the greatest power forward in NBA history, he can at least rank in the top three!

This is not only the NBA league attaches great importance to this, but the fans are also enthusiastic. This can be seen from Kobe's vote king and Duncan's vote starter.

On the morning of February 17, a huge portrait of Kobe and Duncan was hung on the exterior wall of the Staples Arena. This was the first time that the image of the Spurs superstar appeared here in this way.

In the past, as one of the Lakers' biggest competitors in the Western Conference, Duncan appeared as an enemy every time he visited Staps, but now he is like home court!

"Thanks to the league, thanks to the Lakers!"

Duncan’s Twitter is still very fond of words, but those who know Duncan know that this is the most emotional heart of this dull superstar.

Because of his simple style of play and his dull personality, Duncan actually has a much lower position in commercial promotion and league promotion than in basketball history. Duncan and his fans have long been used to the days when they are not the protagonists.

Now, when Duncan participated in the All-Star Weekend for the last time, he was somewhat flattered.

As for why I thank the Lakers, everyone knows in my heart that if it weren’t for the Lakers’ executives and Kobe nodding, how could such a huge portrait be hung out?

I have to say that this scene at Staples Arena is touching, and it also makes people feel the minds of Xiao Feng and Kobe. The All-Star Weekend is already full of friendship before it even started.

In the media, basketball celebrities, basketball commentators and current players all agree with the Lakers' move. Perhaps only a team like the Lakers can make such a decision that everyone can't find fault.

"Xiao is a very wise leader. This is not only reflected in the command ability on the court, but also in corporate management. Not long ago, the Jinghu Group organized a charter flight to send employees back to China for the New Year, proving that Xiao Feng's companies are full of warm and human touch!" Jordan made his own comment on the huge portrait of Staples Arena during an interview with the media.

"Xiao is a legend, but it's a pity that he entered the NBA at the age of 30, otherwise there would be more legends for him in the league!" Lakers legend Elvin Johnson didn't care at all about Xiao Feng's continuous breaking of his record in the league, and believed that Xiao Feng could achieve more glory.

"The retirement of Kobe and Duncan means that the superstars who entered the NBA in the 1990s are gradually moving away from people's sight. In the future, everyone can only see these wonderful duels and inspiring fighting spirit in the video tape!" This is the commentary of former NBA president Stern on Kobe and Duncan's retirement. Perhaps from a certain perspective, this is also the end of the Stern era!

With the blurring of the position on the modern basketball court, all-round players with James as the template are beginning to dominate the entire league. In the future, NBA drafts may no longer see players with distinctive characteristics, standard shooting guards like Kobe, simple power forwards like Duncan, and even less unique geniuses like Iverson.

Just as people miss Jordan, fans will also have a very complicated mood in the future. Looking back on the 20 years that Kobe and Duncan have worked in the league, every bit of it is indelible!

Although the All-Star Weekend only starts tomorrow, on the morning of the 17th, there were already media from all over the world. Fans arrived in Los Angeles and arrived at the Staples Arena.

China National Television Sports Channel also sent a powerful interview and a commentary lineup to Los Angeles to prepare to report on this All-Star Weekend on the spot. In addition, domestic TV media such as Haizhou TV and Lingnan TV, Internet giants such as Inspur, Penguin, and Qiyi.com have also sent a large number of personnel, and they will also broadcast them on the Internet simultaneously.

In addition, more than 50 media from various media in China sent reporters to interview this All-Star weekend. The yellow-skinned and dark-haired Chinese reporters became a special scenic spot in the Staples Arena.

Xiao Feng and UAE are the main factors that attract Chinese media, and Kobe and Duncan are also important reasons. After all, when Duncan and Kobe joined forces to win 11 NBA championships in the past 20 years, it was the era when the NBA promoted the best in China. The popularity of digital TV and the development of the Internet have made the two superstars have hundreds of millions of fans in China.

Those young fans may not know much about Jordan, Johnson and Larry Bird's important position in basketball history, but they have a passionate relationship with their idol Kobe and Duncan.

Because of Xiao Feng's relationship, media reporters from China can naturally receive some preferential treatment, such as interviewing fans of the Lakers and Clippers staying in Los Angeles in advance, or entering the stadium in advance, and the shooting scene is unknown.

In this regard, these uncrowned kings deeply felt Xiao Feng's omnipresent influence in the NBA, which is a huge difference from the treatment they suffered when they came to interview in the past few years.

Although the NBA league used to attach importance to the Chinese market and the Chinese media, its peers were not so polite. Who said that China did not have a superstar who could make a move, especially before Yao Yao entered the NBA.

However, as more and more Chinese players have performed better in the NBA, the interviews of Chinese media reporters in the NBA have become smoother, and peers and even NBA stars interviewed have also gained a better attitude.

In this world, if you want to gain the respect of others, your own strength is the most important thing!

Time passes by bit by bit, and more and more eyes are gradually focusing from every corner of the world to America and the Staples Arena in Los Angeles. Various complex emotions are intertwined, which also makes this All-Star Weekend have many indescribable meanings.

The All-Star Game is about to start, and celebrities and celebrities from all over the world have also arrived in Los Angeles one after another. For celebrities who pursue exposure, such a global event is really not to be missed. Perhaps on the All-Star court, in addition to those dazzling basketball superstars, all kinds of heroes sitting on the sidelines will also become a scenic spot for the All-Star weekend.

Under the gaze of everyone, February 18 finally arrived, and a very special All-Star weekend finally kicked off, and Staples suddenly became the focus of the world! (~^~)
Chapter completed!
