Kobe's decision came a bit off guard, and fans and the media were also worried that he was just talking badly because of the team's poor situation.

But then, Bryant confirmed on social media that he would retire after the season.

"My ankle has not been at its best. It's telling me it's time. I've spoken with Kupchak and Jim Bath. I will retire this season. This will be Kobe's last season in the NBA. . "

The news came out, causing a heated discussion among fans.

Kobe represents the youth of many people, no matter how many people have hacked him before, but when he is going to retire, the feeling of ending the youth curtain still makes people sigh.

Tang Tian was not too surprised when he saw the news.

Kobe in history has also retired this season. Although his involvement did not allow Kobe to suffer a devastating injury, it seems Kobe is tired.

The Lakers haven't had the opportunity to increase their strength this season, or even in the next few seasons, while other Western teams are getting stronger and stronger.

Peter Pan has his own dignity, and he does not want to accompany him at the end of his career.

And he is really not short of money now, like Jordan, he can get so much money even if he retires.

He needs to accompany his family as he said.

Tang Tian did not persuade Kobe to continue playing. Kobe's situation is completely different from Duncan.

He sent a message to Bryant to let him enjoy his last season.

Kobe's retirement tour, he has a chance to watch it again.

After playing the Lakers, the Pelicans rushed to Utah non-stop, ushering in a battle with the Jazz.

Speaking of which the Jazz team has now completed its reconstruction.

Hayward + Favors + Gobert's core lineup, plus role players such as Hood, Burks, Burke, Ingles.

The paper strength of this lineup is not bad, and their head coach Snyder can be regarded as a competent coach.

But this is in the west. This season, the nine strong teams compete for eight places, and they have a small chance of making a big break.

However, their strength is not bad. This game is also the first time the Pelicans played in the fourth quarter after the start of the game.

At the critical moment, Tang Tian and Davis ruled the game.

Davis had an excellent low post attack after a hard training summer, and Tang Tian's three threats were even more prominent.

The two played a wave in the fourth quarter and directly harvested the game with their own strength.

In the end, Tang Tian and Davis cut 50+ to help the Pelicans win the game 96-85.

After winning this game, they extended their winning streak to five games.

A start of 5 wins and 0 losses, averaging 16.5 points per game and 82.5 points per game, these statistics are quite good.

Although the record is similar to last year, as long as you have watched the Pelicans, you know that this team is much stronger than last season.

Of course, strong or not requires a tough battle to manifest.

Among the Pelicans' five-game winning streak, the strongest is the Eagles.

But the Hawks have only 2 wins and 3 losses this season, and they have completely lost the momentum of last season.

In other words, although the five-game winning streak has started and many rolling games have been played, this is not enough to prove the strength of the Pelicans.

They need a strong enemy.

Now the strong enemy is here.

The Pelicans' next game is to challenge the Thunder away.

The Thunder were forced to send away Reggie Jackson last season, and the bench's strength dropped significantly, which made them missed the playoffs.

But this summer they signed Dion Waiters, and with Kanter traded from the Jazz last season, the bench strength is back.

Of course, the most important thing is that Durant is back from injury!

His return is equivalent to adding to the Thunder a top five star in the league, which is more useful than any reinforcement.

And the fact is true, the Thunder have played four games so far this season with a 4-0 record.

With one game less than the Pelicans, they also won a four-game winning streak.

Durant's return makes the Thunder the first team in the West.

The battle between the Pelicans and the Thunder is definitely a matchup.

Although he has not played against Tang Tian for nearly a year, the grievances between Tang Tian and Durant remain undiminished.

Like the original Shark showdown, the Tang Du showdown is now the subject of much fanfare.

And this year's first encounter between the two sides is more interesting than in previous years. You must know that Durant can rest for a whole season last season.

He is a sensitive person. He has not been sick for a season, and his resentment must be stronger than ever.

Especially now that the Pelicans look as champion-like as ESPN.

The Pelicans want to win and prove that they have real hard power. The Thunder have Durant and they are definitely determined to win. This game is comparable to Mars hitting the earth.

On the day of the match, both sides arranged closed training.

"Kevin, we will win."

During training, Westbrook saw Durant look serious and wanted to relax him with comfort.

Du Lan nodded characteristically, but the serious expression on his face remained undiminished.

The Thunder and the Pelicans have all won after the start of the game ~ lightnovelpub.net ~, but the attention in the eyes of fans and the media is far less than the Warriors, Pelicans, Cavaliers teams.

Such a scene is abnormal, but he is Kevin Durant!

After the training, the team members returned to the locker room one after another, ready to take a shower, and then went back to rest.

However, at this moment, Durant rarely called everyone together before the Thunder players took a bath.

"Tonight's game, like my return from injury, is our game back on the stage and let us win the fifth victory of the season!"

Durant is not a sociable superstar, but he is dazzled by Westbrook's side, and this chicken soup speaks well.

Westbrook responded first and teammates also responded.

Durant was excited when he saw the reaction of the team members, and he shouted in excitement.

Watching his reaction, Westbrook smiled.

In the original group of teammates, the fourth young changed from Green to Ibaka, Harden's departure made the fourth young changed to three young, and other role players also changed.

But as long as he is with Durant, the Thunder are still the team when they first arrived in Oklahoma, and they will definitely win the championship in this city.

"Remember what I said, defense, do the defense details, the Thunder is not a team with too many tactical systems, this is the point we can use, and defense is our best weapon."

On another court, Stevens did the same as before, emphasizing the importance of defense.

His purpose is very clear, that is, to put the concept of defense in the minds of every player, and to label this team with blood.
