Legend of Tomorrow

After the All-Star Game, the media gave the Western Conference All-Stars a very low rating, saying they were scattered and fighting on their own.

Blake Griffin made 19 of 23 shots, a shooting percentage of 82.6%, and scored 38 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. If his teammates in the Western Conference can gain some momentum, the MVP will definitely be his.

However, the starting outside players in the Western Conference are holding each other back, rushing to take action. Durant is a little better, he is very efficient in singles, while Curry and Kobe don't pass the ball to each other and take turns to strike.

Kobe has no hope of making the playoffs with the Mavericks this season, and he can't compete for the scoring title with his statistics. The All-Star Game MVP is the only personal honor he can compete for. On the opposite side, Wade happened to be in a similar embarrassing situation, and the statistics between the two were average.

Although Curry said in an interview that he had no objection to the former Warriors boss Kobe, the two did not even say hello when they met, and it was clear what their true relationship was. And Curry is still young. It is impossible to see them laugh away their grudges like the Big Three Lakers in 2009.

Paul and Griffin were the only stars who were enthusiastic about Kobe, because Kobe had wanted to join the Clippers before. The Clippers' wing starting lineup composed of Barnes and Dudley is not strong enough. They hope to recruit Kobe Bryant to join them at a reduced salary in the summer to compete for the championship.

Two days after the boring All-Star weekend, the Nets challenged the Mavericks away from home, and Kobe and Dwight Howard became the protagonists again.

The two got into a heated exchange of words during a fight for a rebound in the third quarter.

At that time, Howard grabbed a backcourt rebound, and Kobe stepped forward to try to steal the ball. In order to avoid being intercepted, Howard swung his elbow and rubbed Kobe's face.

The Mavericks were lagging behind by a big score, and his teammates were not doing their best. Kobe became angry and began to talk trash at Howard: Come here, you weakling, do you dare to touch me?

In response to Kobe's provocation, Howard was not to be outdone. He showed his signature smile and retorted: I should have known what kind of thing you are, old dog!

The mutual hatred between the two was once again exposed to the world. The referee's whistle sounded and Nets players arrived in time to separate the two, finally calming down the incident.

Seeing the Nets players rushing up together, the referee was under great pressure. If they hadn't come to start a fight, it would have been a five-on-one situation on the court. Therefore, the referee made a penalty slightly in favor of Kobe, giving Howard a first-level flagrant foul plus a technical foul, while Kobe received a common foul plus a technical foul.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Mavericks by 30 points on the road. After watching the video after the game, the media agreed that

This conflict was entirely instigated by Kobe. Howard just did what he should do. He had already controlled the rebounds.

The bigger controversy arose three days later, before the 2014 trade deadline, when the Mavericks management sent veteran forward Vince Carter to the Kings in exchange for only cash and a second-round draft pick.

Carter averaged 24.2 minutes per game this season, scored 10.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists, shot 39.4% from three-point range, and averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game. He is in good shape. The Mavericks obviously lost money on this deal.

Although the Mavericks management stated that it wanted veteran Carter to go to a team that can only compete for the championship, the media and fans did not believe it. What does it mean to send him to the Kings? Can this team compete for the championship?

Immediately, a Mavericks player anonymously broke the news to the media. Carter took the initiative to find the management because he couldn't stand Kobe anymore, hoping to be laid off in the mid-term so that he could join a championship team.

Carter's reasons are very good. Anyway, the Mavericks are in a bad season. It doesn't matter if he is there or not. But after being cheated by Fisher, the Mavericks were unwilling to buy out players and sent Carter to the Kings. The second-round pick was still a piece of meat no matter how small it was.

Carter is quite satisfied with this result. The Kings lack small forwards and are a playoff team. He has gone to a place where he can be useful and his playing time is guaranteed.

Carter was having a very unhappy time in Dallas. This was the last year of his three-year contract, but he just couldn't bear the end of the season.

The reason is that Kobe is often dissatisfied with Carter's defense. During training, he also likes to challenge Carter and beat him to show his strength.

Also once known as the four major shooting guards, Carter's decline is indeed faster than that of Kobe, and his personal ability is not as good as Kobe's. But everyone knows that the Mavericks are going to be in trouble this year. Why are you just trying to defend yourself if you have nothing to do? Are you pretending to be stupid? !

Carter also has a strong self-esteem. He has been the boss of the Raptors for many years. He was once rated higher than Kobe Bryant and won the All-Star vote three times. How could he endure Kobe being the boss on the team? He is one year older than Kobe.

What's even more awesome is that the player who broke the news said: None of the outside players on the team want to partner with Kobe. The time of young players is very precious. Without the ball, they will not get exercise. And if those who are in the contract year do not With good data, it will be difficult to sign the next contract.”

What he said is true. Players from the bottom teams can easily be eliminated by the NBA. For example, Yi Jianlian had good statistics in two seasons. Without a record, no team was willing to hire him. Scouts believed that he would not help the team win and his offensive and defensive efficiency was low. It is also difficult for players from the bottom teams with statistics to get big contracts, such as the Bobcats' Gerald Henderson, Nick Young back then, etc.

Under this premise, players on a bad team certainly don't want the ball to be concentrated in the hands of one person, as this will cost them their jobs.

It is not easy to be the core of a weak team. Stars must learn to share the ball, and sometimes they have to take the blame, such as reviewing themselves at a press conference after losing by a big score.

When losing by a big score, Kobe always let his teammates take the blame, and occasionally his teammates couldn't bear it. In a parallel world, even honest people like Gasol publicly criticized Kobe for being too independent at a press conference.

Kobe's way of self-examination is more alternative. After he was questioned by the media about taking too many shots, he might suddenly stop shooting in the next game, and his selflessness would reach the other extreme.

Most of these games are lost by Kobe's team, and then he will be very proud, feeling that he has slapped the media, coaching staff, teammates, and Kobe in the face.

see it? Is it okay if I don’t invest more in these SBs?

Regardless of whether his teammates were okay or not, Kobe was furious after seeing the news.

During training the next day, he had a fight with the team's second-in-command, Monta Ellis, in the locker room. He believed that it must have been Ellis who broke the news to the media, because this guy kept fighting for the ball with him and got an elbow from him that took him out for two months.

Ellis, who once called himself the third shooting guard in the league and ranked himself ahead of Kobe Bryant in 2009, became a Buddhist player. He did not argue with Kobe and simply explained - I didn't say that.

This matter was soon exposed by the media. Ellis said in an interview: He suspected it was me, but why should I say this? I just want to wait for him to leave next season and play well. There is no need to die with him. I I’m not going to guess who said it, because it’s possible for everyone.”

The reporters were shocked. What he meant was that no one in the Mavericks liked Kobe.

This is Kobe's 18th season in the NBA. He is so cool that he has no friends. In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe Bryant, who was recognized as a superstar, still had several friends, such as Fisher, the undercover players union chairman, Odom who almost died from drug abuse, Gasol, the best second-in-command of the Lakers, etc...

Now, no player in the league has stood up to speak for Kobe, and most fans believe that he is a cancer. Only some fans who like to watch soaring scores are still firmly doing Kobe.

Kobe doesn't even read fans' comments online now. His liver hurts when he reads them. Some of the comments are so irritating.
