"Yes, we have taken this step again, keep working hard, boy, this is just the beginning, don't relax." Kobe was obviously in a good mood and said with a smile.
The reporters around them quickly gathered around and took pictures of the two of them. This seems to have become a tradition for the two of JK. At the end of the first round of the previous two seasons, the two of them hugged and greeted each other on the bench like this.
There is even a Los Angeles media outlet that has given this hug a name: “This is about the sweep hug.”

He took off his jersey in front of everyone, revealing the strong muscles on his arms that were not inferior to Lao Zhan, but this made the fans What's a little disappointing is that there is a protective lining inside, so fans' wish to appreciate Ji Feng's royal abs was in vain.

Durant was the last one to come up, and his mood had returned to normal: "You really have Ji Feng, keep going and take our share."
"Hehe, of course Adu, I will do it even if you don't tell me. You can choose a comfortable position at home to watch me play." Ji Feng joked.
"Hahaha, you guys are still so venomous, but I lost to you this time. It won't be so easy next time."
"I'm looking forward to it!" Ji Feng spread his hands: "However, I still want to think about that... future..."
Then Durant turned around and left...
"Future? Future is shit, you are younger than me! FUCK!"
