I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 81

"Young man, you played really well. I feel that you are better than Yao Ming's rookie season. You have a superstar demeanor!" After returning to the sidelines, Mai Di couldn't help but came to Chu Xiao to encourage him, "You know, we two We were still chatting just now, and even he was shocked by your stats in the first quarter.”

"Thank you, thank you, I'm still far behind him." Chu Xiao thanked and opened the goji berry water he had prepared in advance and drank it.

In an NBA game, each game is divided into 4 quarters, each 12 minutes long, with 5 minutes of overtime, and a 15-minute interval between the first half and the second half.Rest 130 seconds between the first and second quarters, and the third and fourth quarters.A 4-second break between the 100th quarter and overtime and between any overtime periods.

What I want to talk about here is the 130-second break between the first and second quarters. The home team will send their own cheerleaders into the middle of the field to dance and continue to drive the atmosphere of the scene.

Every team has a beautiful cheerleading squad that makes the fans’ veins swell and blood boil, but the Mavericks not only has a beautiful cheerleading squad with a variety of styles, but also has another fat cheerleading squad that makes all fans scream crazily—MAVS MANIAACS .

Such a crazy idea, of course, was thought up by Cuban, the Mavericks' most characterful boss.He hopes that with such a group of contagious and enthusiastic guys to help out, the Mavericks will always fight bravely!

While drinking water, Chu Xiao saw that the fat cheerleaders appeared amidst the crazy screams of the fans. There were 12 of them in total, with different heights, white and black skin colors, but all of them weighed more than 200 catties without exception. .

These fat guys appeared on the stage wearing white T-shirts with the Mavericks LOGO on them. Some of them showed various dances in the center of the venue, while others played fancy drumming, making the scene climax after wave after wave.

It is said that during the game, most of the time no one watched them, but their performance did not stop at all, and they would throw gifts to the surrounding audience from time to time, performing from the first minute of the game to the end.It can be said that it is very pleasant to watch the ball while performing.

130 seconds was up in such a joyful and noisy atmosphere. Due to the big lead, Zen Master sent a full bench lineup at the beginning of the second quarter to allow the main players to rest for a while.

It has to be said that the fans in Dallas are enthusiastic, and they did not show great hostility just because the Lakers are playing away.

When Arenas joined hands with Meeks, Clark, Jamison and Thackeray, the fans immediately responded with warm applause, especially after Arenas, who was wearing the No. 0 jersey, took the ball and was nicknamed Agent Zero. , General, he has caused a burst of nostalgia among the fans.

The Mavericks also sent their own substitutes in due course, Carter, Jae Crowder, Beau Bois, Dengtai Jones and Elton Brand.

However, the state of the main players seems to be contagious to the substitute players.

After the opening, the Lakers had the ball. Arenas, who is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms, met Beaubois, a French professional basketball player who is 6 years younger than him. Although this teenager is young, he is only 1.83 meters tall and weighs 77 kilograms.

Arenas faced his defense directly, first dribbled the ball with his left and right hands crossed outside the three-point line, and suddenly used his signature - left hand change direction, directly threw Beaubois aside, and broke through to the left of the free throw line .

He looked up and looked ahead, the Mavericks backup center Brand and forward Crowder rushed over to prevent him from shooting, and the unguarded Jamison immediately ran to the bottom corner to ambush.

Arenas kept the breakthrough posture unchanged, but he stopped the car in the air, and threw the ball with one hand to Jamison who was just in place. The latter had been teammates with him when he was in the Wizards. So he catches the ball very skillfully, and then hits a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

Arenas' performance kicked off because of this assist. This man who was criticized did not restrict his hands and feet because of the mistakes he made in the past years. The time he missed due to injuries and mistakes left behind him The rust stains under the gun seemed to be smoothed off in an instant, as if he had reloaded a full magazine, and was once again the hero of the past.

He first successfully interfered with Beaubois's breakthrough and scoring while defending, and then calmly dribbled the ball from the frontcourt to the backcourt, retreating as a breakthrough, and a jumping rod got under the defense of two Mavericks players. Pull the bar and score a layup.

Afterwards, the old trick was repeated and another breakthrough was made. The Mavericks immediately sent players over to attack. The mature Arenas did not choose to act recklessly. Instead, he found Meeks in the gap between the crowd and hurriedly used his strong upper limbs to open a space. , pushed the ball in a straight line.

Meeks also hit the ball and scored 3 points.

至此，距离本节结束还有8分54秒，湖人以一波8-0开始本节，一举以44-23取得21分的优势。

As a result, the Mavericks' defense began to gradually disintegrate, and then collapse.

It was not until nearly 4 minutes into this section that veteran Carter scored for the first time, but the gap between the two sides has widened.

Arenas was also in high spirits. He faced Beaubois and changed direction continuously, and then dribbled the ball straight to the basket. Facing Brand's supplementary defense, he was stunned for a while by a tricked by Buddha. Ershen, but he made a strong layup and succeeded.

The only one who can stop him at this time is the Zen Master.

With 6 minutes left in this section, the Mavericks called a timeout, and the main players were replaced.Seeing the trick, the Zen master also removed all his substitutes. Chu Xiao and others had a good rest and continued to score points on the court.

Kobe, who only took two shots in the first quarter, was forced to increase the number of shots in the second quarter. The reason was that the Mavericks’ opponent Chu Xiao, who was very hot, sacrificed to the zone defense. He had the experience of playing against the Nets. He did not panic, but immediately changed Role, actively distribute the ball for teammates, and the beneficiary is Kobe.

He received two wonderful passes from Chu Xiao from outside the three-point line, made it easily, and then completed a difficult fadeaway jumper near the free throw line.

In this regard, the Mavericks chose to accept.

They can allow Kobe to score continuously, but they will never allow a rookie to defeat him.

When there were 1.9 seconds left in this section, Kobe hit a three-pointer again, and the Lakers also took the lead 65-38.

Although Chu Xiao didn't score again in the second and third quarters, the Lakers had someone come forward in every quarter, and he also got 8 assists and 2 steals because of the proper delivery of the shells.

In the third quarter, Gasol began to attack the basket. With 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in this quarter, he cooperated with Kobe Bryant, made a layup and caused Carter to foul. He scored 6 points with penalty shots. The Lakers won 82-48 Taking the lead, Artest also hit a three-pointer after that, and the Lakers' advantage reached 37 points.

小牛在本节最后2分29秒投中4个三分球，才将比分追成65-89。

Even so, the game lost its suspense.

From the fourth quarter, Chu Xiao, Kobe and others leisurely watched the game from the sidelines.

Among the starters, only Artest and Jordan Hill continued to play and lead the bench to maintain the advantage.

With 5 minutes and 39 seconds left in the game, Artest hit a three-pointer and Jamison then made a successful mid-range shot. The Lakers still led 105-74 by 31 points, and the Mavericks had to give up.

The score was finally fixed at 115-89.

楚晓只打了前三节，得到16分、11个助攻和2个抢断，科比得了19分、5次助攻，其中有15分都是二三节所得。乔丹·希尔15分、7个篮板，保罗·加索尔13分、9个篮板。替补出场的安托万·贾米森得了19分、15个篮板的大号两双，米克斯11分，阿里纳斯6分、4个助攻。

小牛队老司机诺维斯基得到13分、7个篮板，肖恩·马里昂10分、8个篮板。最惨的是达伦·科里森，10投仅1中，只得2分。

The 26-point victory over the strong Mavericks was something no one expected before the game.Including all members of the Lakers, the team has a record of 8 wins and 6 losses, and the Western Conference ranking has returned to 10th again, which can ensure that it will not fall behind in the playoffs.

In the post-match press conference, Kobe also showed a rare smile to the media. At the beginning, he said three cool words in a good mood and rushed to speak.

"This is the first big win of the season, and the win was hearty. Everyone in the team performed their duties and did what they are best at, rebounding, defending, and scoring. We worked hard, so we played a very efficient teamwork, and it is reasonable to win." Kobe praised his teammates, saying that if this momentum continues, the team can win more victories.

Talking about the fact that he had been making a wedding dress for Chu Xiao in the first quarter, he also replied with a smile, "You have all seen that, he shoots the ball very accurately and does a great job. If he can maintain such a touch, I don't mind being a Point guard, and then give him the scoring, lol."

Kobe, who was in a good mood, did not forget to credit the Mavericks owner Cuban for the victory, saying that the team should thank him and his visiting team locker room, "We should thank Cuban well, if not for his luxurious visiting team locker room , we don’t have hot water to take a bath, and we don’t even wash off the tiredness all over our bodies and go into battle easily.”

Compared with Kobe's calmness in the face of the media, Zen master's side is not very comfortable. He had prepared answers to questions about the team's big victory, Chu Xiao's performance is getting better and better, and the trade of Tracy McGrady. As a result, the reporters I don't know where I found out that the recent transactions of the Lakers were all handled by Zen Master. He has also served as the general manager of the team, while the former general manager Kubchak and vice president Jim Buss have been suspended.

These were originally highly classified and have been kept secret.But the reporters seem to know everything:
"I heard that the suspension of Jim and Kubchak is related to the infighting in the Bass family?"

"Is it because Jenny Buss once promised Jim that if the Lakers can't make it to the Western Conference Finals this season and win the championship next season, she will take the initiative to resign and never ask about the Lakers. Jim is forced by her offensive In desperation, I have to agree to let her give it a go?"

"It is said that Jenny personally drove her brother Jim Buss out of the Lakers' office: You can keep the stock, but the right to speak, I'm sorry, must be taken back. Along with Buss Jr., there is also Buss Jr.'s confidant Ku Puchak? Is this the truth?」
