Chapter nine hundred and eighty-fifth sweep away the turbid air

The core trio of wish teams appeared at Los Angeles Airport, and the media has been waiting for a long time.

Local journalists came with complicated moods.

They didn't like Wei Xia because he took Kobe away.

Now they are leading 76ers in the East District, which is likely to be the biggest stumbling block on the Lakers' journey to the championship.

I obviously don't like it, but I have to force myself to pretend.

They asked Wei Xia: "What is the reason for choosing Kobe first?"

Wei Xia eliminated the knot in her heart by influencing the Lakers to strengthen and taking Kobe from Los Angeles, but left a wound on the Los Angeles that would never heal.

People’s sorrows and joys are inconsistent.

At this time, Wei Xia replied happily: "Because I was afraid that Kobe would be angry, I had to choose him first."

He looks so natural and so lively.

It’s like when I first arrived in Los Angeles, I had endless things to say in every interview. After listening to Kobe’s advice, I put myself in a “concise and concise” character. I only made witty comments when I mentioned Kobe.

Now he is back in time, and Los Angeles will never be back in time.

James's era has arrived, and Kobe's mark is disappearing.

Kobe saw the familiar media and evoked many memories.

When we arrived in Los Angeles, the core team of the wish team was divided into three groups, and they each had their own tasks to deal with.

Wei Xia and Kobe have a one-day trip, so they have to be separated temporarily.

Even Cousins ​​has to spend the first day attending business events.

When he came to Los Angeles again, Wei Xia felt a little different. When he was interviewed, questions often surprised him.

Some media will ask him to look at the Sino-US trade war from the perspective of a Chinese person.

Is this something that he, a basketball player, should express his opinions?

He was an American back then, but he was bombarded by the media because he did not express his opinions. Now the Feng Shui has changed. The American president who has learned the most in history has changed the social atmosphere.

Even the media is more offensive than in the past.

I don't know, I don't understand, I don't care, I'm just an athlete.

These are all lines of Wei Xia's blocking of the knife. The environment was different from the current one. The NBA League clearly opposed the authorities. Last season, the Warriors won the first championship in team history, but the NFL kneeling on the Stars and Stripes at the same time caused public resentment across the United States.

NBA has always been a Democratic party, and in this matter, they support NFL.

The famous "not just a basketball player" suggested that NBA should imitate NFL and kneel on the national flag. Fortunately, Xiao Hua and others were not overwhelmed by the momentary indignation and only chose to support NFL in language. In fact, they took advantage of the special period when a large number of patriots gave up NFL live broadcast to find ways to attract these indignant patriots.

Of course, NBA is not without any action.

For example, the Warriors, who won the first championship in the team history, took the attitude of not visiting the White House, which made the authorities lose face.

Afterwards, Wang can only criticize the Warriors on social media for being ungrateful.

Wei Xia noticed these things, and he also discovered that the American atmosphere was changing.

A radical head of family will bring some strange atmosphere when they come to power.

But the NBA generally doesn't like this new leader, so Wei Xia is now just like many NBA players, trying not to get involved.

The media insisted on his title, and he could only say: "You should know more about whether there are any benefits of the trade war. Even if you know it in your heart, you won't say it, but you want me to express your opinion. I am puzzled because I am just an athlete, I don't have big data, I don't understand people's livelihood, and it is strange to comment on things I don't understand. What do you want from me?"

He learned from one example and asked rhetorical questions.

I said a lot, but there was nothing useful.

It's even more tiring to deal with these people than shooting advertisements.

Wei Xia needs to be very cautious, he cannot fall into the language trap of these people. He is different from 2008. There have been ten years of political incorrect incidents. The new generation of fans are not interested in what happened to him in the past. They like the current wish. Therefore, Wei Xia should try to protect this image, not touch the red line, and at the same time, he cannot express words that go against the Chinese.

The balance between this was something he could not find back then, because the media forced him to express his opinion like crazy, but now he just wanted to mess with his words.

The United States is changing, and Wei Xia's status is changing.

The size is different after all.

After a busy day, after returning to the hotel, Wei Xia found that Kobe had not come back.

Later I learned that Kobe had no intention of staying in a hotel and he had other accommodation in Los Angeles.

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, play the Celebrity Game first and then the Skills Challenge Game.

Wei Xia was not interested in both competitions and attended many commercial events.

His game was only here on the third day.

He and Kobe both participated in the three-point competition.

Interestingly, Kobe was eliminated in the first round.

He only scored 12 points, which was a very bad one, but the audience still gave him a champion applause and cheer.

Wei Xia did not win the championship, and he entered the finals, but met Devin Booker, who had a very good touch. Although he scored 26 points, Booker scored 28 points, creating the best result in the history of the three-point competition.

With the improvement of modern players' shooting ability, this record will sooner or later have a full score.

The most popular part of the day was naturally the slam dunk contest.

In 2016, Irving and Gordon teamed up to save the dunk contest, which made people believe that this game is still interesting. After all, the health of the younger generation is getting better and better.

The players participating this year are also worthy of attention. They are all famous dunk players before participating. They either have exciting actions in actual combat or have participated in dunk competitions in campus days.

But the result was a big disappointment.

Last year's slam dunk contest turned into a hurdler contest, and this year's slam dunk contest turned into a drag show slam dunk show.

For every dunk, these participating guys have to change into retro jerseys to pay tribute to their predecessors.

The tricks of disguise are better than the tricks of dunking.

The celebration at the end of the dunk is better than the completion of the dunk itself.

The gimmick beats the look.

The retro jersey became the protagonist of the game, putting the cart before the horse.

Now it seems that 2015 and 2016 may be just an accident, and the dunk competitions last year and this year are the normal standards.

Everyone comes to play on the All-Star Weekend, and not many people will take the game seriously.

"Their clothes are so beautiful, I want one too." Wei Xia showed his high emotional intelligence.

Cousins ​​is the opposite: "The highlight of this game is the variety of jerseys on them!"

So, when Donovan Mitchell was wearing Carter's jersey to copy the classic dunk of that year, everyone on the scene showed disgust for the drag show, and they applauded casually just to end the boring single event as soon as possible.

In the next day, in the All-Star Game, LeBron and Wish teams made a spark.

For the first time in many years, there was a smell of gunpowder in the All-Star Game.

But the LeBron team gathered too many elites - James, Curry, and Durant, which is an invincible combination.

The 76ers are mainly strong in height and inside.

In addition to Kobe, this old man who may be the last time he appeared in the All-Star arena, as well as the Greek monsters, Towns, Jokic and other new generation monsters.

In terms of attitude, the LeBron team is more serious.

James seems to use this attitude to dispel the turbid air that has been permeating the Lakers.

Since the New Year, the Lakers' game has not been smooth, mainly due to Paul's running-in with him.

Paul is the most typical core guard. He can do it if he needs to open up space for his teammates, but this usage is like making James play without the ball, which is too wasteful, so the Lakers are always looking for ways to activate both of them at the same time.

James doesn't want the tragedy of 2011 to happen again, and he is subjectively more cooperative with the team.

But after a few months, the changes were very small.

The Lakers have been upset by weak teams because of poor distribution of ball rights, so the 76ers have firmly occupied the first place in the league.

Today, James seemed to be determined to use an All-Star MVP to dispel the bad luck. So, after the first quarter, when the wish team kept making waves, he played very seriously. He could pass the ball with an abnormal ground, assist Anthony Davis to score a dunk, and also face the defense and hit a precise three-pointer. On the defensive end, his big hat covering the sky is absolutely unambiguous.

It can be seen that James really wanted to win. After the change of sides, he continued to carry the team forward on his shoulders. His score, assists, rebounds, and his all-round contribution was no different from those in the Lakers. Under the leadership of the emperor, the two teams almost widened. By the end of the quarter, Wei Xia increased his intensity and suspense appeared.

In the last minute, Wei Xia's three-pointer equalized the score.

But Durant had already held the Death Scythe in his hand and ruthlessly harvested the game.

The last offense of the wish team, James and Durant teamed up to double-team, which was the ultimate manifestation of athletic ability, height, arm length and physical fitness.

No matter how strong a player is, he cannot score under such double-teams.

Wei Xia was unable to take action, and the pass made a mistake, and the wish team lost the game.

The terrifying wing partners of James and Durant, who were so serious for a few seconds, surprised fans all over the world.

Wei Xia could only put her hands on her hips.
