The strongest basket king

Chapter 33
The start of the Mavericks is similar to that of the Lakers. In fact, many teams in the Western Conference are unstable. There are about seven or eight teams. The ranking may change a lot in each game. Only the Thunder stand out and rank first.

The Eastern Bulls and Thunder are almost as strong, but the Pacers, Magic, Eagles, and 76ers behind them also performed well, but the Heat have some bumps.

The current ranking can't explain anything, but after more than a dozen games, teams with the ability to compete for the championship also need to stand out. The Heat with the Big Three are a little anxious, and the Lakers must be anxious.

It was the Mavericks who came to challenge the Lakers on January 1, and they are also a strong team in the Western Conference.

Mavericks Xia Tian's operations are also a bit confusing. After winning the championship, they seem to be satisfied. After several operations, they feel that they don't want to pay the luxury tax, especially letting go of insider Tyson Chandler.

This game can be said to be full of highlights. The Lakers were beaten 4-0 in the playoffs last season. The fans and the media want to see revenge for the first time in the new season. Players also need to find face.

Kobe has long expressed his dissatisfaction with Odom as an enemy of the Mavericks.

In addition, Huaguo player Yi Jianlian signed with the Mavericks, and they hope to see the collision between Ah Lian and Xiang Chu.

Yi Jianlian was the No. 2007 pick in [-] and had a higher starting point than Xiang Chu, but he is not doing well now. After his rookie contract, he finally got a basic salary with the Mavericks, and he hasn't had much playing time yet.

The two were not familiar with each other, and they just spoke a few words briefly before the match.

Yi Jianlian's situation is different from that of Xiang Chu and Jeremy Lin, and they don't have much in common.

The fans at the Staples Center were full of anticipation for the game, and Odom returned to their applause.

Odom was a little embarrassed at first, but was soon moved by the enthusiasm of the fans.

He played for the Lakers for seven years and was the best sixth man last season. He never expected to be traded.

Compared with last season, the Lakers started only Artest to go to the rotation lineup, but the Mavericks have already changed two people. The fifth position Chandler went to the Knicks, and the second position Deshaun-Steven Sen went to the Nets.

Now their No. [-] starter Brandon Heywood is last year's substitute, and No. [-] starter Delonte West is the basic salary signed in the summer.

The Mavericks shouted to defend the title, but the body was very honest and saved money.

Mavericks owner Cuban has always given the impression that he is not afraid of spending money, and now it seems that he is not as generous as the fans imagined.

Perhaps the defense was too targeted, and the game fell into a strange circle from the beginning.

The Lakers boss Kobe Bryant scored 0 points in the first quarter, and the Mavericks boss Dirk Nowitzki scored 0 points in the first quarter.

This can be regarded as a miracle, and the means of the two of them logically cannot be completely restricted by anyone.

Dirk Nowitzki doesn't score, the Mavericks' starters are scumbags, Old Kidd doesn't score much now, West and Haywood don't have much scoring ability, and Marion has passed his peak.

On the other hand, Bynum and Gasol on the Lakers side are not very up to date, and Kobe is probably in a panic now.

As far as the bench lineup is concerned, the Mavericks are too strong. Odom and Jason Terry are the two best sixth men, and the old Vince Carter is not bad.

Well, Carter is not as old as Kidd, but he is also an old man who has played in the league for more than ten years. The original All-Star may not even have half of his combat power left, but this is also very good in the rotation players.

When Xiang Chu played, he was facing the Mavericks' backup center, Ian Mahinmi. In fact, the Mavericks' two centers, Mahinmi and Heywood, were rough guys, and Xiang Chu faced everyone the same.

Everyone, don't be afraid of the opponent scoring in singles with the ball, so fight for rebounds.

Who is Xiang Chu afraid of rebounding, no matter who the Mavericks are in front of him, he is a dish.

But they are not the protagonists during the rotation period. At this time, both sides need someone to score. The most outstanding performance is Odom, which makes the home fans very sad.

And Yi Jianlian didn't play at all, the expectations of the Chinese fans must be disappointed, although it is difficult for him to play against Xiang Chu.

In the first quarter, the Lakers' main lineup was still slightly ahead, but was overturned by the Mavericks during the rotation period. Odom also hit the buzzer to help the Mavericks lead the Lakers by 3 points.

That's right, that's 3 points. It's only natural that the bosses of both sides don't have a touch to score, and neither of them has exceeded 20.

It is also good for the main team to feel bad. Xiang Chu gets a little more playing time. As long as he has enough time, he will be the boss during the rotation, the boss of rebounding.

In the second quarter, both Kobe and Nowitzki regained their touch, but the Mavericks' main lineup shot too poorly, and the Lakers also took the opportunity to overtake, leading the opponent by 4 points and ending the first half.

Xiang Chu's 4 points and 6 rebounds also feel good. It's not that the team leads by 4 points, but that he scored the most points in the Lakers' bench lineup.

He, a center who can't attack, scored the most points, which shows the problem of the Lakers' bench lineup.

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the locker room was tense, and the score was still the same, which meant that many people in the team wanted to win.

Xiang Chu quickly stepped aside and began to eat grapes to replenish his strength.

He usually eats fruits, bananas and grapes during the intermission. Before and during the game, he will not eat too much food to prevent stomach upset during the game.

Xiang Chu can only express his admiration for those players who are full and play games.

Unexpectedly, in the third quarter, Kobe was determined again, and he made 0 shots and failed to score.

It's not just his Lakers, all the main players of the Lakers have problems with their touch.

The main force of the Mavericks is still only Nowitzki scoring, but Nowitzki's score alone beats the five main players of the Lakers. It's not that Nowitzki is too strong, but that the five Lakers scored a total of 7 points in the third quarter.

Xiang Chu scored 2 points after playing, which was the team's second highest score in this quarter. The team did not score in double figures in this quarter.

Weird shooting rate, Mike Brown's forehead is sweating, are the Lakers destined to be restrained by the Mavericks, even if the Mavericks did not perform well at the beginning of the season.

In the fourth quarter, the Mavericks made a mistake at the beginning. Artest made a steal and passed it to Xiang Chu.

It's not bragging, he really blew it, and then he caused the opponent to foul and score free throws, but he didn't participate all the time.

Two minutes into the last quarter, Kobe came on the court and continued to control the game.

It's still a strike, but it's not a miss. Speaking of a big heart, Kobe is the only one, so there will be no pressure at all.

The Mavericks also give face, because they are also iron.

But at the last moment, the Mavericks replaced the three main players with no offensive power and brought out the strongest offensive lineup, and the situation suddenly became critical.

At this time, an unexpected situation appeared. Fisher, who had been abused in the previous game, scored 9 points in a row to help the team win the victory. The chairman of the union is also a big heart. I am afraid that many people have forgotten it.
