The Mavericks' team building idea is now quite clear, which is to use two European players Doncic and Platinum as the core, supplemented by other high-quality role players as the support. Of course, they also do not refuse the third giant to join. These days, the more superstars are, the better.

The main problem between Doncic and Platinum is on the defensive end and stubbornness. Both are not black and rough, especially platinum, which has glass attributes, which is very fatal to the core of a team. Doncic is younger and can't see how stubborn he is at present, but his playing style is not physically dependent. He plays like a 35-year-old veteran, with all kinds of fake moves and various striking.

Xie Kai is very optimistic about the Mavericks. This team has a good boss. Doncic is a talent because he plays with his brain and is very talented. He is cautious about platinum. This guy is indeed glass, but his talent is also visible to the naked eye, which is very consistent with the popular inside line nowadays.

For the Mavericks, the current record is not the most important thing. It is their most important thing to make Doncic grow up healthily. As long as he can grow into a top 10 or even top 5 superstar in the league, he will not worry about not being able to find a suitable puzzle for winning the championship.

The Mavericks have a good reputation in the league. Although Dallas is not as good as New York and Los Angeles, it is much better than Cleveland and San Antonio.

On January 22, the Clippers lost the Hawks away away and missed five consecutive victories, and also ushered in the seventh game of the season.

After losing this game, the Clippers' record reached 37 wins and 7 losses, continuing to rank first in the league.

On January 24, the NBA officially announced the East-West starting lineup for the 2020 Chicago All-Star Game!

Xie Kai is still the top voter, and everyone is basically used to it...

The five starters of the Eastern All-Stars are: Antetokounmpo, facial paralysis, Emperor, Kemba Walker, and the Sheep.

The five starting players of the Western Conference All-Stars are: Xie Kai, Harden, James, Davis, and Ask a Teacher.

This is the 9th time Xie Kai has been selected for the All-Star lineup in his NBA career. Except for the 2010-11 season, he has started in the other eight seasons, which shows how popular he is.

This year's All-Stars continues the rules of the previous session, and the captains of the East and West District will be selected.

Xie Kai and Antetokounmpo will continue to become captains and live broadcasts to select people.

That night, at the American Airlines Center Arena in Miami, the Clippers narrowly beat the Heat and refused to lose in a row.

On January 26, bad news came. According to police reports, NBA superstar and Lakers legend Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, southern California at the age of 41...

The crash occurred at around 10 a.m. local time, about 50 kilometers east of downtown Los Angeles. The Calabasas City Government later confirmed on social media that Kobe and four other people were on the helicopter at the time of the incident, and no one survived.

Xie Kai knew the news was his mother calling him. His first reaction after receiving the call was - is it April Fool's Day? Could you make a mistake? He searched the Internet like crazy and found that it was indeed true.

At that moment, Xie Kai was stunned, his mind was blank...

Who could have thought of this?

Xie Kai felt that it was not long since he met Kobe last time. He remembered that it was a Christmas battle a month ago. He also chatted with Kobe and Vanessa on the sidelines. Kobe looked much fatter, and it seemed that his retirement life was very comfortable, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen?

Xie Kai hoped that the police would come out to refute the rumors, saying that they had made a mistake, but he had never waited to refute the rumors.

This incident caused an uproar in the NBA. Kobe's status and influence in the NBA in the world can rank among the top 5 basketball players in the world!

Xie Kairen is in Los Angeles, and this feeling is even more profound!

Although Kobe is not Xie Kai's only idol, the two still have many connections. Kobe did not hide his personal information at the beginning, and he also guided Xie Kai's offensive skills in person. The two also played golf together in Los Angeles and attended a party together. But who knew that all this would be forever...

This is the first time Xie Kai has shaken his position of life and basketball. He has always placed the position of basketball higher than life.

If there is no life, isn’t it meaningless to talk about basketball?

On the night of the 26th, the Clippers easily defeated the Magic and ushered in two consecutive victories.

On January 30, the Clippers easily defeated the Kings at home and ushered in three consecutive victories.

As a result, all the Clippers' games this month are over, with their current record of 41 wins and 7 losses.

On February 1, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West last month. Xie Kai and Antetokounmpo still won the best players in their respective divisions.

The two currently monopolize the best of the division this season, and the two are also competing very fiercely on the regular season MVP rankings.

Compared with Xie Kai, Antetokounmpo's team record and personal data are not much different, and he has never won an MVP. If the two of them have similar situations at the end of the season, the league may be more inclined to give him this award.

That night, the Clippers easily beat the Timberwolves at home and ushered in four consecutive victories.

The Wolves' peak in recent years, that is, Jimmy Butler made it to the playoffs when he was there, and now he is rebuilding again, and he cannot see the future.

On February 3, the Clippers won five consecutive victories at home with Xie Kai's buzzer-beating three points.

On February 5, the Clippers immediately won 6 consecutive victories at home.

After six consecutive victories, the Clippers' record reached 44 wins and 7 losses, and continued to lead the league's 30 teams.

On February 7, the Clippers' transaction finally came!

This is a three-party transaction, and the details of the transaction are: the Clippers gave Jerome Robinson and Morris Hackles, the 2020 first round pick, a protected 2021 first round pick swap rights and the 2021 second round pick, and got Thomas Jr. and Marcus Morris; the Knicks gave Marcus Morris, and got Hackles, the 2020 first round pick, the 2021 first round pick with the Clippers, the 2021 second round pick and Isuf Sanon signing rights; the Wizards gave Thomas Jr. and Isu Sanon signing rights, and got Jerome Robinson.

The core of this three-party deal is the first round pick and Marcus Morris! Others like Thomas Jr., Harckles and others are all bargaining chips that add to the top and balance.

The Clippers almost gave out the most valuable first-round pick in their hands, which means it is difficult for them to make big moves before the trading deadline because they have no bargaining chips.

A large part of the reason why the Clippers spent such a big price to get Morris Jr. is that the Lakers also want to get him.
Chapter completed!
