Chapter 372 The Ball Comes!

The regular season played two games, the Mavericks won and lost one game each.

Because it was the first performance of the new lineup against the Magic, the team was in the first run-in, and it was understandable to lose, but in the second game, Kidd successfully raised his head and got a triple-double, helping the team defeat the Timberwolves. As the media predicted during the offseason, the Mavericks really became the spoiler in the West. After a bad start, the record was 7 wins and 3 losses.

Although the opponents in the few victories are not regarded as strong teams in the east and west, 7/3 is enough to explain the problem, and it is worth mentioning that... Li Shengli's average data composition has undergone a lot of changes.

The first is scoring.

Unlike the Jazz period, Malone also shared the shots when he was helping him, but it was different in the Mavericks. Kidd, an assist lover, completely liberated his scoring suppression.

Followed by rebounds.

Compared with the previous astonishing rebounds, Li Shengli's statistics have dropped a lot, but this has no effect on the whole team, because Kidd's lack of him is basically with Kidd, and no one knows... Why Kidd, a pure point guard, can He averaged 7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 7.7 steals in 2.1 games. The only embarrassment was the offense, averaging 9.3 points per game.

……

It can be said that the current Mavericks are indeed a counterattack!

There were only 13 wins in the regular season last season, and this season did not even make one-eighth of the progress. With a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, it caught up with 11% of last season's wins and became the biggest dark horse in the West. And the [-]th game can be said to be a game to test the gold content of the Mavericks' new lineup, because the opponent is the San Antonio Spurs, which is temporarily ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference.

Feng Shui turns, and this season's West seems to be the Spurs.

I blame Rodman for rebounding, the lineup is slowly running in, and the Spurs ushered in a big turning point, but the new coach Bob Hill seems to be a little reluctant to use Rodman more, basically invisible in the starting lineup, and the time for substitutes It is far worse than during the Pistons period, which made Rodman very dissatisfied, and even this dissatisfaction has reached the peak of explosion.

I was invited to form a championship lineup, and here I am!

Now that Lao Tzu is pushed on the bench, even the playing time has been reduced, how can this be tolerated?

You must know that the Spurs are still headed by David Robinson. The style of this peacemaker and good guy has affected the entire team, making the Spurs the best team in the league, but Rodman's existence is incompatible with the team. , Repeatedly maliciously provoke opponents.

I know you are like this, but can you calm down a little?

Robinson was very annoyed by this, especially Rodman and Ewing's old opponents were very close, which made him feel that this teammate was unreliable, and the previous sixth game against the Jazz... this guy was crazy Challenge Malone.

Although the game was won and Malone didn't fight back much on the field, after the game Malone just surrounded the Spurs' locker room with people and scolded them for more than half an hour. Rodman didn't show his face, and Robinson The boss is too lazy to deal with these shit.

I was screwed, if you don't help me get ahead, how can you be the boss?

For this reason, Rodman was resentful and dissatisfied, and had a direct conflict with Robinson for the first time, which gave the Spurs management a headache. Although the next few games did not have much impact, they encountered the Mavericks in the 11th game... The Spurs, including the fans, are worried, worried that Rodman will die, and then go to flirt with Li Shengli?

Teased Ma Long and was blocked in the locker room, it's not a big problem, it's just a loss of face!

But if Li Shengli was teased, the problem would be a big one. After all, Rodman had suffered internal bleeding not long ago. Don't hurt him before he recovers. Come again, and he will be reimbursed directly for the season!

……

Spurs fans were worried and hoped that Rodman would be honest; Mavericks fans were preparing to witness this game to test the gold content of the new lineup, and on the night of December 12, it was also the Mavericks' home reunion stadium...

Mavericks starting, center Li Shengli, power forward Smith, small forward Wingate, point guard Kidd, shooting guard Curry!

The Spurs started with center Robinson, power forward JR Reed, small forward Sean Elliott, point guard Avery Johnson, and shooting guard Vinnie DeNagro.

Rodman didn't start?

Li Shengli was a little surprised when he saw the Spurs' starting lineup, because Rodman's role is needless to say, even if the offense is weaker, his rebounds are definitely one of the best. Last season's average of 17.3 rebounds per game is not a joke. He is weak inside. It's okay if the team doesn't make it, but it doesn't make sense not to make it against the Mavericks.

"Where's Rodman? Why didn't this guy start?" While waiting in the midfield, Li Shengli asked Robinson. Pinch as soon as it comes up.

Rodman?

You ask me why Rodman didn't start?

Don't you have an X number in your heart when you are riding a horse?

If you don't mess with him, he's 100% the starter!

Robinson gave Li Shengli a supercilious look and didn't speak.

"Speak, why are you so weird? To be honest, I haven't seen this guy for a long time. I kinda... miss him!" Li Shengli smiled.

Do you miss him?You want to hit him, Robinson suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Hmph, whether we have Rodman or not, you should stay in Dallas. This season or even the next season, you have nothing to do with it."

"Did you eat gunpowder? I just asked casually, why did you react so strongly!"

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to care about you, Ewing, Rodman, and the others. Today is just right without Rodman. This is a fair game. I want to get back what I lost, even this The championship of the season, and you... can only sit here in Dallas and watch!"

Inexplicable!

I just asked casually, and Robinson lost his temper?

Li Shengli didn't know why, but fortunately, the game started soon, and the two didn't chat nonsense.

……

In the first quarter of the game, the main players of both sides were in the tactical trial period.

For the Spurs, David Robinson is in a good state. With the experience of playing against Li Shengli before, that fucking rhythm of exerting force is simply a kind of torture, so he tried his best to reduce the shots during the marching confrontation, and he also hit one in the first quarter. 8 out of 5, as for other teammates also played well.

But back to the Mavericks, Robinson was surprised to find... Li Shengli has also changed. Although the previous style of rushing and rushing and catching whoever is still there, the singles are significantly reduced because he doesn't need it at all. Opportunity, yell... The ball comes, and the ball really comes when it's over, and Kidd is completely like a roundworm in his stomach, knowing his every thought.

8 of 8, and 2 of 2 free throws!

Robinson, who is 8 of 5, can't bear this comparison.

虽说首节28:28打平，但罗宾逊知道他马刺只是仗着角色球员的底子比小牛厚而已，单比数据还是他输，而小牛方面……李胜利单节18分、5板、2盖帽，基德单节2分、3板、6助攻。
