"Hey~ Another fourteen consecutive wins, when will we lose another game!"

On the chartered flight, Zhou Si smiled bitterly and shook his head when he saw Leonard playing tricks again. This was a bit too arrogant.

But it feels good to be floating in the sky all the time. It will be better to wait until the playoffs to land again.

On February 22, Zhou Si returned to the home court and scored a super triple-double with 36 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists, defeating the Thunder 131:101 and extending the winning streak to 15. After that, the Trail Blazers received good news:

They became the first team to lock in a playoff spot.

It feels very good to have secured a spot in the playoffs 27 games in advance.

The Blazers' news didn't make the headlines the next day because a certain mythical beast showed its power.

In today's game against the Pistons, the man with thick eyebrows who was crazy about the best lineup and a big salary stared at the Pistons. He played 44 minutes and scored 59 points, 24 of 34, 20 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block!

The last time he got this data was O'Neal's 61 points and 23 rebounds!

Moreover, that was already 16 years ago!

Netizens expressed their opinions one after another, "Is the cool-down time for Thick Eyebrow's ultimate move up today?!"

"The key is that he also grabbed 20 boards over the goalkeeper!"

"Double 20 has become abnormal. The thick eyebrow data is a tribute to Zhang Twenty Thousand, right?"

After the game, Nongmei was also very excited. In an interview, he said:

"After the game started for a while, I felt like I just had to take a shot to make the shot!"

The reporter told Nongmei that his scoring and field goal attempts set a new record in Pelicans history today.

At the same time, he also became the third player since the 1983-84 season to score more than 50 points and 20 rebounds. The other two are O'Neal and Chris Webber.

Thick eyebrows became visibly more excited:

"It's such an honor to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with legends like O'Neal and Webber."

Zhou Si smiled after reading the news.

This is how interesting the NBA is!

Mythical beast, come more!

…

"Let you milk, let you milk!"

Leonard lay on the recliner in the locker room with dull eyes, looking at the ceiling and crying without tears.

‘I didn’t breastfeed today, it was the day before yesterday!

Are you going to take it out on me if you lose?

I’m just a handsome man who played 8 minutes and scored 3 points and 4 rebounds with a 100% shooting rate!’

After taking the lead to "beat up" Leonard, Zhou Si felt much better.

But, today, we still lost...

Compared to the stupid Leonard, today's Pickled Pepper is obviously much smarter.

Although his idol is Kobe, Pickle Pepper is not stubborn at all. He mostly hides and fights. Even if he is tough, it is only when facing other people.

Facing Zhou Si, there were various ways of fighting and retreating.

So, sometimes persistence is a good thing, but you have to use it in the right direction.

After the game, Zhou Si also gave a thumbs up to Pickle who scored 34 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists tonight.

To come back from such a serious injury and perform like this is indeed worthy of respect.

After returning home, Zhou Si looked at his phone.

"52 wins and 4 losses. Now the Warriors are 50 wins and 5 losses. They can't lose anymore for the time being."

Zhou Si murmured to himself.

…

'Don't lose before the Warriors!'

Over the next month or so, the Trail Blazers accomplished their goal perfectly and continued to suppress the Warriors!

After defeating the Nuggets on April 12, the Trail Blazers' record reached 72 wins and 8 losses!

In the two games before the end of the season, their win count has tied with the Bulls team, which ranks first in NBA history!

At this time, the Warriors were not far behind, their record was 71 wins and 9 losses!

In the last two games, they still have a chance to fight back!

As long as the Trail Blazers lose the next game against the Lakers and the Warriors defeat the Trail Blazers in the 15th game, they will have a chance to complete the overtake against the Trail Blazers!

The Lakers currently have a record of 41 wins and 42 losses, two games behind the Spurs, who are currently eighth at 43 wins and 38 losses.

This means that the Lakers will definitely miss the playoffs this season.

However, this season the Lakers have one win and one loss against the Trail Blazers. It is not impossible for the Trail Blazers to lose.

The curtain call at home, Mamba’s last battle, the tickets for this game were sold at sky-high prices!

Moreover, this day is called Mamba Day by many fans!

Two hours before the game, Kobe arrived at Staples Arena wearing a handsome suit and a confident smile on his face. He was obviously in a good mood.

After today, he will start another journey in his life.

For the Lakers and Kobe fans, the significance of this game even exceeds the finals.

Before the game, there was a huge crowd outside the Staples Center, and the crowded scene felt like it was during the Spring Festival.

Fans are looking forward to Kobe's last dance.

The impact of this game was phenomenal. Countless fans asked for leave, skipped school and even quit their jobs to watch this game!

In their words:

"Like Kobe, it starts with his looks, his talent, and his loyalty to his beliefs!

Jordan is too far away and Curry is too close. He is the only one who can accompany me through the most beautiful youth!"

In addition to the fans, the stars are also crazy.

James uploaded a photo with Kobe Bryant's national team on IG and left two short words:

“#MambaDAY# Salute!”

Wade uploaded a photo of his family and Kobe on IG and wrote:

"@KobeBryant#MambaDay#tribute#!"

Parker uploaded a photo with Kobe on Twitter with the text:

“@KobeBryant, heroes will eventually leave, but legends will always be recorded in history!

#mambaDAY#respect#basketball!”

Football handsome boy Beckham:

"Tonight will be full of emotions, both happy and sad.

But we will all congratulate the greatest athlete in history, the "real Laker" Kobe, for completing his career.

I have witnessed him lead the team to win the championship, and it is my honor to lead the team to win the championship in the way that this city expects...

Congratulations to my friend on completing a career that many only dream of."

Kobe also thanked his fans in an interview before the game.

“If you are always confused about the future, then you cannot cherish the present moment...

And I'm trying to stay in the moment."

"At the end of tonight, what I miss the most is: those processes."

"Tonight is going to be incredible.

This is a moment where I want the fans to express their gratitude, not the other way around.

I'll take the opportunity to thank them because they really pushed me forward."

Before the game even started, Kobe was already in tears because the Lakers held a grand retirement ceremony for Kobe as soon as the game started.

Magic Johnson delivers a speech for Kobe Bryant.

"We are here to celebrate Kobe's 20-year great career. Kobe has never cheated the game or the fans, even if he persisted with injuries.

In the past 20 years, the biggest star in our city has always been Kobe!

He is not only a great sports star, but also the greatest Lakers player!

So now, we must applaud Buss, who traded for this person back then!

We also want to thank Jenny and Jim Buss for keeping him with the Lakers!"

Later, messages to Kobe from the stars and Lakers players were played on the big screen at the side of the court. The scene was both warm and sentimental.
