Chapter 155 The battle between the old and the new, Kobe's favor
"Hey Louie, how are you feeling?"
"This year's uniform is really good, I like this color scheme."
"Ha ha……"
The All-Star Game is about to start, and Kobe came to the home team's locker room early.
Kobe was not the only one who was qualified to be the boss of the locker room.
Kobe saw Lu Yi walk into the locker room, and asked the younger brother in a tone that I was the boss, but Lu Yi was not fooled, and talked about him from left to right.
The other Western All-Stars who had already arrived in the locker room also laughed with their stomachs in their arms.
The warm-up hasn't started yet, have the two kings of Los Angeles fought each other first?
Here I have to say that the competition for the top three in the Western Conference this year is really too fierce.
At present, the Spurs are No. [-] in the West, the Lakers are No. [-], and the Clippers are No. [-]. There is a difference of one win between the two.
The grievances between the Clippers and the Lakers, between Lu Yi and Kobe, started long ago from last season.
With the progress of the regular season this season, the competition between the two sides can be said to have reached a fever pitch.
Wen has no first, Wu has no second.
The All-Star Weekend held at the Staples Center, and now that the All-Star Game is about to start, the Western All-Star team must have a boss, right?
However, this arena can accept having two home teams at the same time, but the Western All-Star team cannot accept having two bosses at the same time.
How to put it, it is also necessary to determine who is No.1 and who is 1.5.
Lu Yi didn't intend to ask for the All-Star MVP tonight, but he won't lose if he loses.
They are all the bosses of the Los Angeles team, and they are all the starters of the Western Conference All-Stars. You Kobe, why do you want me to bow my head and be a junior?
It is true that Kobe is full of honors and full of hard goods. Among this year's Western Conference All-Stars, he can be regarded as a highly respected generation.
However, when will the seniority ranking start for playing basketball?
Obviously everyone doesn't talk about football ethics and bullies the old seniors.
When you come to Lu Yi, you need to be polite, right?
Lu Yi was not fooled, and he was not polite to Kobe.
Of course, the atmosphere in the locker room was pretty good.
Everyone discussed the Celtics' Big Four and the Heat's Big Three in this year's Eastern All-Stars.
"Maybe without us doing it, they'll start a fight."
"Hahaha……"
There is movement in the Eastern Conference this year. There are only four teams in total. The strongest are the Heat and the Celtics, and the rest are the Magic and the Eagles.
The competition between the Eastern Heat and the Celtics seems to be more intense than the Western Clippers and Lakers.
In short, the young are going to challenge the old, and the alliance is about to change dynasties.
Lu Yi is also one of them, but Lu Yi did not form a group, but led the team by himself. There is still a difference.
The small meeting in the locker room didn't last long. All the members arrived, and the time was about the same. They followed the procedure and went on stage to warm up.
Lu Yi, Iverson, Kobe, and Gasol, as the hosts, are most familiar with the basket at the Staples Center.
But before the game, it is also necessary to make a few shots and find out the status.
"Russell, don't be nervous, take it easy, you will have the opportunity to play on this stage every year in the future, if you stay healthy."
As an alumnus, Lu Yi actually encouraged Westbrook during the warm-up period.
The current Westbrook is not as jerky and resistant as when he was an opponent at the beginning.
"Haha, Lu Yi, you are right, we will all be regulars at the All-Stars.
In the future, I will win the All-Star MVP just like you.
Maybe I'll get more All-Star MVPs than you, and other MVPs. "
Westbrook was quite confident, and answered Lu Yi with a nod and a smile.
Lu Yi didn't refute this. Westbrook's physical fitness is absolutely historic in point guard.
It is not difficult to win the All-Star MVP with ability, even the regular season MVP is not a problem.
Not to mention, Westbrook was originally the life basketball MVP.
As for playing, if you don't pursue a championship, get a big contract, just be happy.
Westbrook playing happily like this is definitely the pursuit of most people in the league.
Lu Yi chatted with Westbrook for a while, and the game started soon.
The starters on both sides this year are: Eastern All-Star Team: Rose, Wade, James, Stoudemire, Howard.
Western All-Star Team: Lui, Kobe, Anthony, Durant, Duncan.
From the perspective of strength on paper, the Western All-Star team is naturally stronger, but from the perspective of configuration, the Eastern All-Star team is more reasonable.
At the beginning of the game, Howard worked hard and jumped high to win the ball.
The Eastern All-Star team launched the first attack of the game.
Because of the excitement of the All-Star Game, Rose went straight in with a long shot, and after a Beverly changed direction and passed Lu Yi, it was as if no one had a three-step pull-up layup and took the lead in scoring 2 points.
The Western All-Star team started to attack, but Lu Yi was not in a hurry.
Anyway, he and Kobe are the starting guards. Lu Yi wants the ball at any time.
Considering that they won the All-Star MVP last year, they have no chance of re-electing this year, which means that there is no need to steal the show tonight, which will make everyone look bad.
Ever since, Lu Yi held the ball across half court and passed the ball directly to Kobe.
Many people knew that Kobe wanted the All-Star MVP before the game started.
During the pre-game meeting in the locker room, Kobe had the idea of wanting to reveal this, but in the end he was able to control the locker room, so he didn't say it.
On the court, Kobe was ready to win the damn All-Star MVP with his strength.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yi, who is the deadly opponent, was the first offensive player of the Western Conference All-Star team. Instead of playing by himself, he passed the ball to him instead!
"Wow--"
"Unbelievable!"
"A historic scene!"
Both the Clippers fans and the Lakers fans at the scene couldn't believe what happened in front of them.
But it happened like this. Lu Yi didn't attack by himself and passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe was shocked for a moment, and then decisively charged forward with the ball.
Wade didn't defend much, Kobe entered the three-second zone, took another step, and dunked with a big windmill with one hand.
In the All-Star Game, the most exciting thing to ignite the atmosphere is the wonderful dunk.
As Kobe has grown older in recent years, he has been affected by weight gain, and the number of dunks in the game has continued to decrease.
But don't forget, when he was young, Kobe was the dunk king!
How difficult is it to show off a wave of young masters at the All-Star Game?
The Lakers fans at the scene were also very moved to see this scene.
Kobe was still the younger brother next to O'Neal back then, and now Kobe has led the team to the second consecutive championship.
Kobe can still jump and dunk, but the original explosive head has become bald and stronger, and he has nothing.
Having said that, after Kobe finished dunking, the Eastern All-Star team was a little puzzled, served directly from the bottom line, and launched a fast break.
Originally, this was the Staples Center, and it was Kobe's territory all year round. Kobe had a wonderful dunk at the beginning of the All-Star Game.
As the visiting team, we should respect it somewhat and let Kobe enjoy the cheers of the fans more.
Of course, as an opponent now, it is clear that they intend to defeat the Western All-Star team and embarrass Kobe, the leader, so it is understandable to do so.
Soon, Wade went down quickly and returned a dunk.
The Western All-Star team also immediately served and played a fast break, and Lu Yi gave the ball to Kobe again.
Without further ado, Kobe dunked again in response.
At the beginning of the game, repeated dunks ignited the atmosphere at the scene.
Many Lakers fans saw Kobe's continuous dunks and directly shouted MVP.
When James heard it, he felt something was wrong, and quickly slipped out of the baseline to serve to Wade.
Wade didn't want to be as pushy as Kobe. Anyway, he had already made a shot. This time, when James followed up, he gave the ball to James.
James was also polite, and went straight to the basket, which was also a dunk.
But this is not his home court, no one will cheer for James.
The Western All-Star team quickly responded. Lu Yi did not give the ball this time, but directly chased for a three-pointer.
The goal has finally changed this time.
In the past, it was either behind by two points or just tied, and now the Western Conference All-Star team has finally overtaken by one point.
"Good job Lu Yi, this shot is great!"
"Dunking is not difficult, do other people dare to do it like Lu Yi?"
There has been no one to defend, not to let people rush to the basket for dunks, watching the two teams continue to score, it is very interesting to watch, but is it interesting?It's really boring.
Lu Yi made a chasing three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line, as if he had been eating hot pot, and suddenly a bottle of beer came.
It's really cool to drink once in a while.
With Luigi taking the lead, both Eastern and Western All-Star teams started shooting.
Immediately afterwards, there were strikes and rebounds, and the intensity of the competition gradually changed.
Fighting and fighting, the smell of gunpowder in the game also began to come up.
At the beginning of the All-Star Game, most of them don't defend, but after a while, there are collisions and frictions such as dunks and rebounds, and there will be some small emotions between each other.
As the defensive intensity gradually increased, it became difficult for the stars to break through the basket and dunk.
Instead, shooting has become a more frequent offensive method.
With the emergence of the official timeout, the two teams have adjusted their personnel, and the point difference has gradually begun to widen.
After the first quarter, 41 to 37, the Western All-Stars are still 4 points behind the Eastern All-Stars.
"Those guys can't afford to lose! With no defensive strength, just go to the basket and get two points."
"There are a lot of rookies. They just made it to the All-Stars. It's normal to want to perform, but they don't understand the rules. We need to teach them a lesson."
"Okay, in the second quarter, we need to let them know what is the playing rhythm of the All-Star Game."
The Western All-Stars were discussing with each other off the court, and Lu Yi didn't interrupt much, mainly because he was not interested.
In the first quarter, Lu Yi took two shots and scored 6 points.
Although the hand feels better and the defensive strength he encounters is considered to be no chance, Lu Yi still has the strength to score 6 points in a single quarter.
Playing four quarters, let alone 20+ data.
If Lu Yi is too active, he might steal Kobe's limelight again.
Lu Yi is obviously not such a person.
So, let other people with ideas make trouble.
Louie wasn't involved at all.
However, many times, things backfire.
Durant played very hard, and even had a tendency to be an FMVP with Kobe.
Kobe is very competitive, and his statistics are above Durant's.
But Durant wasn't far behind, and played aggressively.
The problem is that the Eastern Conference All-Star team seems to have come prepared. The Big Four of the Celtics and the Big Three of the Heat have reached an agreement behind the scenes, and they played extremely well on the court.
This is a pain for the other Eastern Conference All-Stars. They just run back and forth when they play, and they are completely tool people and background boards.
But for the Eastern All-Star team, the rhythm of the game has always been controlled by the Eastern All-Star team. This year, the Eastern All-Star team is very likely to win the game.
After the first half, the difference between the two sides has widened to 7 points.
The Western All-Star team needs to have more scoring points to help the team score.
It also needs someone who can be serious in advance and put in enough physical strength to defend against it.
The Western All-Star team has never been united, and Ning Cheng is a rope.
As a result, it naturally made the situation look a little passive.
"Lu Yi, I know you don't want tonight's MVP, but our team must not lose." Kobe took the initiative to find Lu Yi.
It was also because Lu Yi passed so many balls to Kobe today that Kobe was interested and confident to come to Lu Yi.
Sure enough, Lu Yi did not refuse.
"Los Angeles is invincible! I believe we will be the winner."
Hearing what Lu Yi said, Kobe immediately felt relieved.
In terms of ability to chase points, who in the audience can compare to Lu Yi?
The three-point shot is the best weapon for chasing points, and in the first three quarters when the defense is lax, the three-point shooting rate is relatively high.
Although, with the current defensive strength, only the third quarter is left.
But this is enough!
Lu Yi scored 10 three-pointers in a single quarter, which is directly 30 points!
Kobe thought about it for a while, and he probably didn't need Lu Yi to make so many three-pointers, and halving the output should be able to help the Western Conference All-Stars gain some scoring advantages.
In this way, the fourth quarter will obviously be bigger.
"Next, I will cooperate with you."
"Hehe, I said, if you start playing with the Lakers, I'll give you everything I own."
Kobe mistakenly thought that Lu Yi passed the ball to him today to show his favor.
And at Kobe's current age, Kobe also thought of taking care of the newcomers and juniors in the league.
Kobe appreciates Lu Yi, who is handsome, talented, and capable.
After all, who wants to be a famous teacher, who doesn't want to have a high-level apprentice who can brag?
Jordan did not resist people's associations and comparisons between him and Kobe, but he loved Kobe very much.
Kobe has achieved great professional honors, and he has reached the stage of enjoying his old age and thinking about life.
It's a pity that Luo Hua intends to be ruthless.
"The Lakers don't have the No. [-] pick. Even if I'm not in Los Angeles, I will be the leader of other teams."
When Kobe heard this, he was speechless.
It is said that after the start of the third quarter, Lu Yi moved for real, and the effect was immediate.
The Eastern All-Star team also saw that Lu Yi didn't intend to show off tonight, and just played for a while normally to join in the fun.
That's why everyone didn't take Lu Yi seriously.
Lu Yi suddenly opened fire with full firepower and started killing. How could the Eastern All-Stars defend against it.
No one double-teamed Lu Yi, giving Lu Yi an easy chance to score. After the third quarter, the Western Conference All-Stars turned the tables and took a 12-point lead.
As for Lu Yi himself, he has scored 32 points in three quarters.
And Bryant only 27 points.
