NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

At the end of the game, as soon as James returned to the team's locker room, he received a transfer of 1W from Beverly.

James, who saw the news of the transfer, smiled to himself, turned around and attended the post-match press conference.

"Mr. James, you scored 35 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists in this game, but Beverly, who told you before the game, graduated with six fouls early. Do you feel good about Beverly now? evaluate?"

As soon as James walked into the scene of the post-match press conference, the reporters present couldn't sit still. A male reporter with thick eyebrows and big eyes and blond hair stood up first to ask James.

Regarding the male reporter's question, James had expected it a long time ago. He smiled and replied calmly: "In my opinion, although Beverly did not perform well in today's game, in my heart, I have a lot of respect for a player like Beverley, he is very hardworking, I admire him a lot."

"Most importantly, he is a very honest player!"

Hearing what James said, the reporters present were very confused. They thought that James would insinuate Beverly after the game. After all, Beverly made harsh words before the game and belittled James to nothing. !
And now, instead of mocking Beverly, James praised him severely!
And is Beverly keeping the integrity?How do you keep your integrity?
The reporters present were at a loss and couldn't figure it out, so the male reporter continued to ask: "Mr. James, you just said that Beverly is very honest?"

"How did he keep his integrity?"

Hearing the reporter's question, James smiled in his heart. Beverly would pay the money immediately if he lost the bet. Isn't that just keeping integrity?
"Beverly made a bet with me, and he lost the bet. He immediately completed the bet, so I say he is very honest!"

James replied cheerfully.

When the reporters off the court heard this, they all became energetic. The bets between the players must be topical!

Thinking of this, the reporters quickly asked: "What kind of bet, can you tell us the details?"

James shook his head lightly, and said softly: "Let's not talk about the bet, let's let it stay on the court for things on the court!"

Seeing that James was unwilling to say more, the reporters were too embarrassed to ask further questions, so they asked other questions.

After James simply answered their questions, he left the press conference directly.

The day after tomorrow, the Lakers will also challenge the last opponent of this devil's schedule, the Dallas Mavericks!

The plan of the Lakers is to fly directly to the Dallas Mavericks tonight and take a day off tomorrow to prepare for the game. Naturally, James has no time to entangle these reporters any longer.

After James and the other staff members of the Lakers gathered, everyone took a car to the airport in Minnesota and flew directly from Minnesota to Dallas.

The generals and staff of the Lakers, who have already experienced two away games, were exhausted physically and mentally. They fell asleep as soon as they boarded the plane. The entire cabin fell into silence. Only Vogel and their assistant coaches discussed the next Field-specific strategies.

The Lakers' next game is against the Dallas Mavericks, against a strong playoff team!

Since the Dallas Mavericks completed Porzingis + second-round picks in exchange for Dinwiddie and Bertans, their record has won consecutively, much higher than when Porzingis was in the team!

This surprised many outside media. After all, when this transaction happened, none of this group of media was optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks!
And all of this is probably due to the Mavericks head coach Kidd, who played a big game when he first came to the Lone Ranger.

At the beginning of the season, let Bronson play on the court to share the ball rights for Doncic. During the season, he traded engines like Dinwiddie and Bertans with high fortresses to increase the ball holder and outside shooting points for the team!

Although such a strategy caused the Mavericks to lose their record all the way at the beginning of the season, judging from the final results, Kidd's strategy is still very successful!
After completing the transaction, the Mavericks' record went straight to the upper half of the Western Conference. When entering the playoffs, Bronson's growth and Dinwiddie's arrival shared a lot of offensive pressure for Doncic, and the three-point threats provided by other teammates opened up. The space on the field made it more comfortable for Doncic to break through, and the Dallas Mavericks have also become a strong team in the playoffs!

If you give this Mavericks a reliable forward defensive player and an inside center to protect the frame, the Mavericks will become a team with the ability to compete for the championship.

Against this kind of team, the Lakers must of course cheer up. After all, since the Westbrook deal was completed, the Lakers have not encountered a strong team in the upper half of the Western Conference. The day after tomorrow against the Dallas Mavericks will be a test for the Lakers When the lineup is fine!
Vogel and his coaching team are all in the spirit of 12 points, preparing for the game the day after tomorrow.

They discussed for two full hours before setting the tone for the game the day after tomorrow!
On the defensive end, let Doncic let go, and don't let him drive his teammates!
This defensive strategy is also a common strategy for playing this kind of big core with the ball. After all, one person can never beat a team to death.

On the offensive end, it is relatively simple. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Lone Ranger's inside line, let Big Eyebrow and Howard overwhelm the river and compete for offensive rebounds, and then use Doncic's lack of defense on the outside to let the Lakers' outside players take turns against Doncic. strange!
Such an offensive strategy can be said to hit the weakness of the Lone Ranger. The lack of defensive resources makes the Lone Ranger stretched both outside and inside.

After Vogel and the others formulated their strategy, the plane just arrived in Dallas, and Vogel quickly woke up the sleeping Lakers.

The team booked a hotel in Dallas early and prepared a vehicle, and the Lakers were taken to the vehicle as soon as they got off the plane.

Everyone rubbed their sleepy eyes and yawned like this, and they arrived at the hotel in Dallas in a short while.

When they arrived at the hotel, everyone who hadn't rested had a quick bite of food. After that, Vogel, who was afraid of the players going out, hurriedly gathered the players together and explained to his players earnestly.

"Take a good rest tonight. We will have more intense training tomorrow. Be careful and don't run around at night!"

All the players were very tired at this time, and the local nightclubs in Dallas were relatively rubbish, so everyone lost interest in going to nightclubs. After hearing Vogel's words, they nodded quickly, and then went straight to their respective rooms, sighing. fell asleep.
