Chapter 152 The Battle of Vengeance
At the end of the three quarters, 96:88, the West team opened the score again.

What makes the Eastern team even more desperate is that they haven't scored a goal for several minutes, and they can't even find a way to break the Western team's defense.

This is also normal. It is a general trend that the West is strong and the East is weak. The stars in the West are already stronger than the East.

看看东部，场均19.6分7.6篮板2.3助攻的贾米森都能进全明星，伊尔戈斯卡斯16.9分8.6篮板2.1盖帽，大本9.7分12.2篮板2.4盖帽。

In the West, players at the level of Peja, Webber, and Anthony have no chance as substitutes.

If both sides are playing, the East still has hope of winning.

But you Van Gundy insists on playing with Popovich for real. There is a gap in coaching ability and player strength. What do you use to win?Take the head to win?
At this moment, Kobe has scored 38 points, which is not far from the All-Star Game personal single-game scoring record.

Record No.1 is the 1962 points created by "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain in 42, which has been dusty for 43 years.

No.2 is also the 1988 points created by the "God of Basketball" Jordan in 40, and it has been 17 years.

Kobe Bryant's record is imminent.

Denver fans are really desperate. They don't know how to stop Kobe, the star they hate the most, from breaking records on their own turf.

In the fourth quarter, Van Gundy gave up the idea of ​​manipulating the game and let the players play by themselves.

Coach Popovich didn't have to be unreasonable, beat the dog in the water, dismantled the strongest defensive lineup on the planet, and let all the players go up and play.

O'Neal and Wade played bravely and helped the Eastern team recover some points.

But at the critical moment, Kobe made a three-pointer, and Mochizuki, who slipped the bottom line, followed by dunks and scored 5 points in a row, ending the game.

127:123, the western team won the final victory.

Kobe Bryant scored 43 points, breaking Chamberlain's 43-year record and setting a new All-Star game personal scoring record.

叶和平9分4篮板2助攻2抢断3盖帽，表现中规中矩。

Then Stern presented the award. Kobe won the MVP with 43 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Looking back on the entire All-Star Weekend, the Lakers became the biggest winners, winning two MVPs in the Rookie Challenge and the main game.

The Suns followed, Nash won the Skills Challenge, Richardson won the Three-Point Contest, and Marion led the team to win the Masters.

Josh Smith of the Hawks won the dunk title.

The worst thing is the Nuggets, as the hosts, no results.

Anthony, Leonard, Boykins, and Miller participated in four events respectively, and finally the entire army was wiped out. Let alone the most hated player take away the two most important awards.

The annual All-Star is a festival for fans, and this year has a lot of topics.

In the Rookie Competition, the first grade counterattacked the second grade.

Dunk King Josh Smith pays tribute to Wilkins.

Nash's football skills.

Kobe broke the scoring record.

The invincible defensive lineup of the Western Army.

Ye Heping and Pierce clash.

Looking back at the entire All-Star Game, fans always have an illusion that the Lakers rookie Ye Heping has grabbed a lot of plays, and he can be found in many things.

"But the most exciting thing is that tomorrow, the Lakers will face the Celtics at home, and the grievances between Ye Heping and Pierce will continue."

In the All-Star Game, Pierce didn't play much time, and the one-on-one confrontation was actually three rounds.

But back to the regular season, two people can play a whole game.

Moreover, the Lakers and Celtics are old enemies. Whenever the two teams meet, they will be smashed.

On February 2, the game officially started.

Before the game, Al Jefferson and Tony Allen hugged Ye Heping one after another, and they were very intimate, and there was no suspicion at all because of Pierce's relationship.

This made Pierce's complexion not very good-looking, and he meant to be ruthless.

The reporter captured this scene, which made the fans even more excited. It seems that a spark hitting the earth is inevitable.

It's a pity that Pierce suffered from cramps just after the start, and it was quite serious.

Coach Doc Rivers did not let Pierce play again for Pierce's physical considerations.

The Celtics lack the core of the team, and there is no suspense in this game.

121:82, the Lakers bloody Celtics this old enemy.

Kobe clocked out of get off work in three quarters and scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

Odom had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Mihm had 15 points and 19 rebounds, Ye Heping had 12 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. But there is bad news. Caron Butler is unwell.

2 month 23 day.

The Lakers went to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers, who have 21 wins and 30 losses so far, have basically lost the chance to enter the playoffs and are an underdog.

The Lakers made another victory at 97:89.

叶和平继续稳定表现：14分7篮板3助攻2抢断2盖帽。

Following the two-game winning streak before the All-Stars, the Lakers have another four-game winning streak.

And at this moment, the Lakers ushered in a wave of real challenges.

The defending champion Pistons, the Lakers' enemy.

Although affected by the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Pistons had a poor start.But after the return of all members, the Pistons are still the defensive iron army and the championship contenders.

In addition to the previous winning streak of the Lakers, Wizards, Bucks, 76ers, and Knicks, they have achieved a wave of five consecutive victories, and the Pistons are in full swing.

That's right, the first time the two teams met this season, the Pistons beat the Lakers.

But Kobe was not there in that game, so it didn't have much reference significance.

So far, the Pistons have 33 wins and 19 losses, second only to Wade and O'Neal's Heat in the East.

The Lakers are 38 wins and 14 losses, ranking third in the West, closely following the Spurs and the Suns.

This game is a strong duel, a confrontation between strong teams at the championship level.

But for Los Angeles fans, it's more of a revenge fight.

In the finals of last season, the Lakers were counterattacked by the civilian Pistons with the fantasy F4. This is something that Los Angeles fans simply cannot accept.

To make matters worse, the failure of a round of the series, OK turned against each other, Malone retired, Payton left for the Celtics, Fisher went to the Warriors and the Lakers were broken up by the Pistons.

It's an exaggeration to say that this enmity is irreconcilable, but it's not too far off.

Three days before the game, all the media in Los Angeles began to play up the game, calling on the fans to cheer for the home team in the name of revenge.

The evening of July 2.

The Battle of Revenge has officially begun at the Staples Center!
Pistons starting five tigers:

Center: Ben Wallace.

Forwards: Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince.

Backcourt: Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups.

Main rotation: Antonio McDyess, Carlos Arroyo.

It is worth mentioning that the 03 No. [-] Darko Milicic is still sitting at the end of the bench.

Lakers starting: Mihm, Odom, Ye Heping, Kobe, Atkins.

Butler is still missing the game.

Coach Frank seemed a little nervous. He had just replaced Tang Shuai and had to face a strong opponent like the Pistons. He was under a lot of pressure.

On the other hand, Larry Brown was calm.

Since last season, the Pistons have had the upper hand every time the two teams have played against each other.

And this season, the Lakers lost O'Neal, and Brown felt nothing to fear.

The confrontation in the preseason has already explained everything, the strength of the two teams is not at the same level; and the previous regular season also shows that no one in the Lakers can stand up except Kobe.

As long as Kobe is prevented, the Pistons win.

As for preventing Kobe from dying, they did it with ease in last season's finals.

As for your saying that the Lakers have a better record than the Pistons?Don't you know there is a team called a regular season team?

Regular season dragon, playoff bug.

A team that can't play tough games is a garbage team.

Therefore, the Pistons must win!
Even, a big victory!

The head coaches of the two sides shook hands, and Larry Brown even held his head up all the time. As the most experienced veteran coach in the league, Popovich was brought out by Brown.

If Tang Shuai is here, Brown will still be interested.

As for Frank Hamblen, a guy who was never a head coach, Brown didn't even know who he was.
