After the All-Star Game, the media gave the Western All-Stars a very low evaluation, saying that they were a mess and each fought for their own battles.

Blake Griffin made 19 of 23 shots, shooting as high as 82.6%, scoring 38 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. If the Western Conference teammates earn some energy, MVP will definitely be his.

However, the Western Conference starters are all in a state of pulling each other's back and rushing to take action. Durant is a little better. He is very efficient in singles, while Curry and Kobe do not pass each other and take turns to hit the iron.

Kobe has no hope of making it to the playoffs in the Mavericks this season, and he can't compete for the scoring champion by scoring data. MVP of the star game is the only personal honor he can compete for. Wade on the opposite side happens to be in a similar embarrassing situation, and the two compete with each other and their data is very ordinary.

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 the real relationship was clear at a glance. Moreover, Curry was still young, and it was impossible to see them laughing like the "Big Three Lakers" in 2009.

Paul and Griffin are the only stars who are very enthusiastic about Kobe, because Kobe had wanted to join the Clippers before. The wing starter formed by the Clippers Barnes and Dudley is not strong enough. They hope to recruit Kobe to join in the summer to reduce his salary and strive for the championship.

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

The two of them clashed fiercely during a rebounding competition in the third quarter and started to quarrel.

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

The Mavericks were behind in the big score and their teammates were not good. Kobe was so popular that he started to swear at Howard: "Softie, come on, you dare to touch me and try?"

Howard was also not to be outdone for Kobe's provocation. While showing his signature smile, he retorted: "I knew what kind of person you were, old dog!"

The hatred between the two was exposed again in front of the whole world. The referee whistle sounded, and the Nets players arrived in time to separate the two, finally calming the incident.

Seeing the players of the Nets rushed up together, the referee was under great pressure. If they were not here to fight, it would be a five-on-one situation on the court. The referee therefore made a penalty that was slightly inclined to Kobe, giving Howard a first-level malicious foul, plus a technical foul, while Kobe was an ordinary foul and a technical foul.

In the end, the Nets won 30 points away. After watching the video after the game, the media agreed that the conflict was entirely initiated by Kobe, and Howard just did what he should do, and he had already controlled the rebound.

The bigger controversy came three days later, before the 2014 trade deadline, the Mavericks management sent veteran forward Vince Carter to the Kings, only for 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, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.4%, and averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game. He was in good condition. The Mavericks lost significantly in this deal.

Although the Mavericks management said that it was to let veteran Carter go to a team that could only compete for the championship, the media and fans did not believe it. What is the meaning of sending the Kings? Can this team compete for the championship?

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

Carter's reason is very good. Anyway, the Mavericks are playing badly this season, so it doesn't matter whether he or not. But after being cheated by Fisher, the Mavericks were reluctant to buy out the players and sent Carter to the Kings. The second round draft pick is still meat no matter how small the mosquito is.

Carter was quite satisfied with this result. The Kings lacked small forwards and were a playoff team again. He went to a useful place and his playing time was guaranteed.

Carter had a very unpleasant life in Dallas, the last year of his three-year contract, but he couldn't stand the season.

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

He was also known as the "Four Big Points Back", Carter's decline speed is indeed faster than Kobe, and his personal ability is not as good as Kobe. But everyone knows that the Mavericks will be bad this year. You are so fucked to defend if you have something to do, and you are pretending to be a hairy one?!

Carter also has a strong sense of self-esteem. He has been the boss in the Raptors for many years and has received a higher evaluation than Kobe at one point. He won three All-Star vote kings. How could he tolerate Kobe being the master in the team? He is one year older than Kobe.

What's even more awesome is that the player who broke the news said: "The outside players in the team don't want to be partners with Kobe. The time of young players is very precious and they will not be able to exercise without the right to play. And if those in contract years do not have good data, the next contract will be difficult to sign."

What he said is the fact that players at the bottom team are easily eliminated by the NBA. For example, Yi Jianlian, who has two seasons of data and no team is willing to ask him if he has no record. Scouts think he will not help the team win and have low offense and defense efficiency. And players at the bottom team with data are also difficult to get big contracts, such as Gerald Henderson of the Bobcats, Nick Young of the year, etc.

Under this premise, the players of bad teams certainly do not want the ball to be concentrated in one person's hands, which is to let them lose their jobs.

The core of a weak team is not that easy to be. Stars must learn to share the ball rights and sometimes have to take the blame. For example, after losing a big score, you can review yourself at a press conference.

When losing a big score, Kobe always lets his teammates take the blame, and his teammates occasionally can't bear it anymore. Even honest people like Gasol publicly criticized Kobe for being too independent at the press conference.

Kobe's way of reviewing himself is more alternative. After the media questioned that he took too many shots, he might suddenly stop shooting in the next game and went to another extreme selflessly.

Most of this kind of game are lost by Kobe's team, and then he will be very proud and feel that he has hit the media, coaching staff, teammates, and Ke Hei's face.

Have you seen it? Can I not vote for these SBs more?

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

During training the next day, he had a fight with Monta Ellis, the second instructor of the team in the locker room. He thought it must be Ellis who broke the news to the media because this guy had been competing with him for the ball and rested for two months by his elbow.

Ellis, who once claimed to be the "third-point guard in the league", ranked himself ahead of Kobe in 2009, became a Buddhist player. He did not argue with Kobe, but simply explained it simply - "It was not what I said."

This incident was soon exposed by the media. Ellis said in an interview: "He suspected it was me, but why did I say this? I just want to wait until he leaves next season and play well, and there is no need to die with him. I will not guess who said it, because everyone has the possibility."

The reporter was shocked. His implication was that the Mavericks had no one who liked Kobe.

This is Kobe's 18th season in the NBA, so cool that he has no friends. In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe, who is recognized as a superstar, still has several friends, such as Fisher, the chairman of the Undercover Player Union, Odom, who almost died of drug abuse, the Lakers' second-in-command, and so on...

Now, no player in the league stands up and speaks for Kobe, and most fans believe that he is a cancer, and only a few fans who like to watch the score are still firmly doing Kobe.
