Chapter 142. 142. Kobe VS James Prelude
When Kobe and Gasol are on the court together, even if it's the old version now, it feels so powerful.

The triangle offense seems to be integrated into the bones of the two. Gasol mobilized his teammates to run, and Kobe fell to the three-second zone and hit his elbow again and again.

Gasol can always help Kobe get the easiest one-on-one chances.

Kobe once confidently said that if anyone can beat him one-on-one, that person is only Jesus.

The Raptors once again had a tragedy and became the background of Kobe's performance.

科比全场打了33分钟，35投20中，狂砍51分3板3助攻，带领湖人以109比96背靠背轻取猛龙。

The Lakers' record has become 30 wins and 12 losses, still ranking second in the Western Conference.

Liu Ren heard Kobe's stats reported by Little Lolita in the hotel, and thought to himself: Damn it, this stinky old man's health two years in advance is really amazing!

From the game overview heard from the chick Chen Hanni who came in after a while, Liu Ren estimates that Kobe has probably recovered 15 to 16% of his skills from last season, and because he is not as old as the next 30-[-] season, his physical fitness is not bad. It is estimated that each game can maintain a high level of performance for about [-] minutes.

Liu Ren feels that the future is bright!

There are three 10 minutes of Zha Ke, who is [-]% of his peak level, and Gasol, who plays health-preserving balls and has brought the ability to mobilize teammates learned from Zen Master to a new height, plus him and Whiteside, and then again. Green, who returned from injury in two months.

Incredible!

Liu Ren felt like he suddenly had a bunch of all-star teammates!
At the same time, there were other teams in the West chanting "Wolf is coming". Kobe Bryant's return made those playoff contenders who were expecting the Lakers to fall behind in the second half to lament that the team that was firmly in the playoffs was again. one extra.

However, the happiest person for Kobe's comeback is surprising. After seeing Kobe's performance, James posted more than a dozen texts on Twitter, each of which was praising Kobe and expressing his excitement for the next match against the Lakers. Every time Kobe's name is mentioned, a hashtag is used to start the topic, and the hashtag is marked with the strongest scorer!

Only then did the fans discover that James turned out to be the person who admired Kobe the most in the league.

When Liu Ren heard Chen Hanni say this, he suddenly remembered that in the original 15-16 season, after Kobe played badly and entered the All-Star, everyone else played by themselves. Only James attached great importance to every matchup with Kobe. People come and go heads-up.

And every time James played against the Lakers that season, he took the initiative to defend Kobe, allowing Kobe to fall into the most comfortable offensive position to single out.

James may be regretting why he was not able to play with Kobe!The two can almost be said to be the most suitable partners. The team of the two can completely become a combination of an enhanced version of Jordan and Pippen. Kobe may be a little worse than Jordan, but James is more than one grade better than Pippen!
One of the two likes to attack, and the other likes to organize teammates to attack. It can be said that they are a natural partner!
But it's a pity that the two are hardly players of the same era, their peaks are not at the same time, and they are not teammates, they can only become opponents.

Immediately, Liu Ren had a better impression of James, but he knew that he and James played in the same position, and they were destined to be opponents in the future, otherwise it would be very interesting to partner with James.

The Lakers had two days off after beating the Raptors, but the Lakers left Canada for Miami on the south coast the day after the Raptors victory.

There is no way, the Lakers are used to staying in this warm place in Los Angeles. The weather in Canada is ten or twenty degrees below zero, so I can't stand it.

Two days later, Liu Ren's concussion improved somewhat, but he still couldn't get the doctor's diagnosis. After learning about the situation, Kupchak gave him a holiday until the 26th, and gathered in New York. Unable to participate in the last game of the Eastern Conference's six-game streak, they challenged the Knicks away.

Kupchak still understands the minds of these young people. Maybe Liu Ren doesn't care too much about whether he can play against the Heat, but he cares about whether he can make an appearance at Madison Square Garden!
That's the Mecca of basketball, the Holy Land of basketball!
In fact, a concussion will not have much impact on the body, but if it is not treated properly, it will cause sequelae, and it is very likely to die!
Liu Ren really wanted to participate in the competition, and the opportunity to play against a strong opponent like James was only twice a year, but the team arranged it this way, so he could only rest.

At 1 pm on January 24th, the game between the Lakers and the Heat started at the American Airlines Center in Miami.

A month ago, when the two teams played against each other in the Christmas game, Kobe did not come back, which made the fans feel very sorry, but Kobe made a sudden comeback this time, and he is still in such a good state.

At the same time, the attention of this game even surpassed that of the game between the Lakers and the Thunder. Just after the game started, the number of people who bought the live broadcast had once again broken the NBA regular season ratings record!
Only Kobe and James can attract such a wide range of attention.

This is a surprise for the league. Usually, the month from mid-January to mid-February is the period when the ratings are the worst, otherwise the league would not have an All-Star Weekend.

The All-Star Weekend was created in the 50s when American TV entertainment began to flourish. The NBA created it in order to attract attention in February. This move was followed by other leagues. That's a star player.

Not to mention, the number of viewers on the TV broadcast during the All-Star Weekend is really not as good as this game between the Lakers and the Heat.

Kobe and James faced each other on the court again, and all the fans at the American Airlines Center stood up and cheered. Although, the Miami fans didn't have any cohesion at all. Last year's finals saw the team lose. did not see.

But the two strongest players of this century have played against each other, and they don't want to miss a second!

Kobe and James came to the technical stage to touch the magnesium powder. Today, due to Kobe's comeback, James stopped the usual action of spreading the magnesium powder, which is regarded as respect for Kobe!
"It's a pity that Liu and Drummond can't fight. I really want to fight against you who are the strongest." James said with a little regret.

"It's okay, I will let you feel the joy of losing without him, don't be sorry." Kobe spoke a lot of poison, he is such a person.

"Haha, sure enough, you're still the same Kobe, and you didn't disappoint me. But, I mean, it's not interesting to beat the Lakers with only you. I think Liu is stronger." James wasn't angry, but that didn't mean he wouldn't fight back.

"Oh, that might be the case. That kid might be a little better than when I was 45 years old. Now, you'd better wait to lose!" Kobe was really irritated.
