Kobe hugged with all the players, and all the fans shouted Kobe's name.

Although Kobe definitely won't get VP in this game, he is now more glorious than VP.

Many players also lament that if they can get treated like this at the end of their career, their career will be perfect.

Xiang Chu understood that Kobe must have hoped to leave with one victory after another and a championship, but the Lakers' strength does not allow it, so Kobe can only settle for the second best.

The West won the game without any suspense. This time, Xiang Chu did not deliberately pursue VP, but his strength was not allowed. His 3020 data was very conspicuous, so he won the All-Star VP award for the consecutive time.

There are two days left to rest after the All-Star Weekend, and Xiang Chu and his family have another day in Toronto.

After the regular season started again, the Nuggets suddenly fell into the top spot in the Western Conference.

Lillard, who was unhappy and was unable to be selected as the All-Star, showed his power and scored 51 points to lead the team to beat the Warriors, directly pulling the Warriors from the top position in the West.

Xiang Chu, who received the news before the game, smiled and said: "The Trail Blazers are good. If they continue to maintain, they will definitely have a chance to enter the playoffs."

The Trail Blazers are now one of the Western Conference playoff teams. They have lost four major players this season and have no bad performance and still have a chance to enter the playoffs. This is really admirable.

Of course, admiration is one aspect. If they really enter the playoffs, they will definitely be one of the opponents other teams want to face.

The first game after the Nuggets All-Star Game was away against the Kings. The Kings' current results are not good, but this game is still quite eye-catching because the Nuggets' winning streak is still continuing.

The Kings' summer operation was pretty good, and they introduced Rondo and also grabbed a few practical players, such as Belinelli.

But their record was not much better. The Kings did not lack offensive firepower. Cousins ​​continued to improve. Guy was also the best among the quasi-All-stars, but their defense was really bad to a certain extent.

Cousins ​​actually has the capital to defend, but he really doesn't have the sense of defense.

Judging from the players' personal abilities, their defense should not be so poor, but it is still a reason why they do not pay attention to it.

If the Nuggets' defense is so bad that it is the King's level, Xiang Chu will definitely get angry.

For a team, good core players are very important, more important than coaches. Cousins ​​is obviously not a qualified leader.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams were fighting each other. Rondo and Guy both played well on the Kings, and so was Cousins.

Rondo has excellent passing ability, which is why he is not strong in scoring ability and can become an All-Star several times. With his presence, Cousins ​​also has the opportunity to score in front of Xiang Chu.

Of course, the most fundamental thing is that Cousins ​​has evolved to the All-Star level on the offensive end.

The Kings started well, but the Nuggets also played well. Xiang Chu and Gallinari can be said to be two-star shining, and Middleton is not inferior. The Kings' defensive habits are indeed very bad.

However, Cousins ​​wanted to force Xiang Chu and was still hit hard. The few goals Cousins ​​hit were scored by pick-and-roll and then scored.

Cousins ​​has good strength and weight, but he is also a representative of the new technical inside line. If he wants to decide the outcome at the basket, he is very far from Xiang Chuzhen.

Both sides also performed well in substitutes. Kings Corrison was already very adaptable to the sixth man position, and their No. 6 pick inside player Stein also performed well.

The Kings also signed Coofoss in the summer, and made some big men and hoped to achieve a record in the West, but the reality is not that easy.

On the Nuggets, David West, a veteran like him, became much more energetic after a few days of rest, and Dudley also played well. The offenses of the two teams did not change because of the rotation time.

Judging from the opponent's situation in the game, they are still planning to rush. After all, in theory, they also have the opportunity to enter the playoffs, but if they do not achieve the desired result after a few games, they may give up.

This is also the common idea of ​​the players who have poor performance but still have a little hope. In another month, teams with no hope in the playoffs will focus all their energy on cultivating new players.

In the second quarter, the Kings trio, Rondo, Guy and Cousins ​​still felt so good that they were speechless.

It would be fine if Guy hit a three-pointer, but Cousins ​​and Rondo also hit it, which means that the situation is not very good.

Xiang Chu also felt that he had to change his strategy, even if Cousins ​​pulled it out after pick-and-roll, he would not be allowed to throw it.

Of course, he was not alone in changing the defense, because he and Rondo rushed in and made a layup when he went out. They had to defend against pick-and-roll, and Xiang Chu had no problem in defending Rondo.

Because of the other party's explosion, the Nuggets also became the backward side.

They actually didn't think about continuing to update their winning streak, but they wouldn't lose casually.

During the halftime break, the Nuggets changed their defensive strategy.

In fact, Cousins ​​has forgotten it. Rondo's three-pointer is the key. Rondo's defender is not good at shooting. The Nuggets were originally just guarding him for breakthroughs and passing, but now they have to defend against three-pointers.

The King's style of play will break inside, so Xiang Chu still won't go out, but if Cousins ​​goes to the three-point line, there will be players who will immediately defend themselves.

In recent years, the Nuggets have been led by Xiang Chu, and team defense is the real progress.

Not to mention the top level in the league, the Nuggets' current team defense is definitely above the level. It is difficult for the opponent to break through their block without a super scorer.

After the targeted defense in the third quarter was strengthened, the King's offense came down.

The Kings are good on the offensive end, but they are not the kind of three-pointers who are very strong, and they exploded in the first half.

Among their offensive points, Guy is the one who has strong shooting ability, but Guy's characteristic is that he is not efficient, otherwise he will be an All-Star player.

After being unable to steal chickens from the outside, Cousins ​​once again felt Xiang Chu's dominance.

This guy beat a few times, got two more hats, and then became honest.

Of course, this has something to do with his singles level. Cousins ​​just started and squeezed in, and it would be a big deal if he didn't squeeze or get hit. The weak center level in the league really misled him.

Every time he fights Xiang Chu, he will wake up again, and he can bully the weak now.

After the Kings could not make efficient attacks, they returned to their weak team's true nature, and the Nuggets also surpassed the score.

The Kings began to make a blacksmith not only the main lineup, but also their substitute lineup.

The situation in the first half made them fascinated by three points, but the result was that the ironclad sound continued.

In the end, Rondo could only stand up and score. Compared with others, Rondo's experience and rhythm are really good.

But Rondo was not a scorer, so the king withered.
Chapter completed!
