Chapter 15: Los Angeles at Night The battle has just begun
Fei'er was also very happy to eat, but in fact, her heart was still very painful, "This is full of money! Look at Shaq, how many of these guys are there? And Lu, this bastard, is the whole thing! Be elegant, elegant, who told you that this is how the roast duck is eaten?"
With a win over the Kings, the Lakers will next play away to the Dallas Mavericks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Anyway, there is nothing to do at night, Lamar just wants to take a good look at the night view of Los Angeles, walking on the famous Walk of Fame in Los Angeles and looking at the signature handprints of stars on the ground, feeling everything familiar around, Lamar is also thinking about his future path: his career has had a good start, and he will not follow the path of his previous life! The career has also begun to operate, and I believe that the harvest time will not be too long! What about his love? Lisa is now a little ambiguous with herself, but it is more of a family relationship! My own love, the girl who made my heart flutter has not yet appeared!(Actually, for Lisa, Lamar still thought about it for a long time, although in the previous life, although it was because of the appearance of Kohler that he and Lisa separated, in fact, it was not all like this, the love between the two was not stable enough, and there was a sense of insecurity about each other, otherwise they would not have three children and were not married! So with Lisa, Lamar felt impossible, Lisa would not be the woman who accompanied him all his life. And Lisa has now started her own business, and with the help of Jeff, she has won the favor of many advertisers, and her dream window has opened!
As for Kohler, Lamar loves her very much, otherwise he would not have been able to marry her, but Lamar does not agree with everything after marriage, and he does not want to expose everything he has in front of the media. But Kohler's family makes a living from it, relying on all kinds of exposure to increase their popularity and make a profit! Lamar is very disgusted by this practice, but Kohler is not bad about himself, and Lamar believes that Kohler was and still loves him deeply. But Lamar doesn't know what to do in this life? Lamar only knows that in this life, he will not take the initiative to approach Kohler, let alone have any contact with the Kardashian family!)
Maybe I'll meet that girl of my own soon!(Actually, Lamar's love life in his last life was still very simple, except for Lisa, there was only Kohler!) )
On the evening of October 31, the Lakers players arrived at the American Airlines Center Arena on time.
Soon after the end of last season, the Mavericks welcomed their new owner: IT tycoon Mark Cuban, and then with the gradual maturity of Michael Finley, and the growing growth of second-year rookie Nowitzki, coupled with the return of veteran forwards Gary Trent and Cedric Sebarros, coupled with the personal training of Nelson Sr., the Mavericks also seem to see hope for a revival.
The Lakers continued the starting lineup of the last game, and the Mavericks' lineup was a little insufficient!
Starting center Sean Bradley, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Gary Trent, scoring guard Michael Finley, point guard Pike, backup Derek Harper, etc. (Sean Bradley, born March 22, 1972, attended Brigham Young University and is widely noticed because of his height.) In 1993, Bradley was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the second pick in the first round of the NBA Draft that year. He won the bronze medal at the 2002 World Basketball Championship.
Dirk Nowitzki (born June 19, 1978 in Würzburg, Germany) is a German professional basketball player who plays as a power forward. In the 1998 NBA draft, Nowitzki was selected by the NBA Milwaukee Bucks with the ninth pick in the first round, and the Bucks traded Nowitzki at the No. 9 pick and Pat Garrity at the No. 19 pick for the Mavericks for Robert Trayler, the No. 6 rookie, and Nowitzki was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. In the 1998-99 NBA season, Nowitzki averaged 20.4 minutes, 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and eight double-doubles per game. In the final moments of the game, there was a series of mistakes. At the end of the 1999 season, Nowitzki returned to Germany and worked hard in training and competition. In the 1999-2000 season, Nowitzki averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, placing second in the league's NBA Most Improved Player award. In the 2000-01 NBA season, Nowitzki averaged 21.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, becoming the first player in the history of the Dallas Mavericks to be named to the NBA All-NBA team. In 2007, Nowitzki led the Dallas Mavericks to a franchise-history 67-15 record and won the regular season MVP. In 2011, Nowitzki's Mavericks defeated the Heat 4-2 to win the team's first championship and win the Finals Most Valuable Player. Recognized as the top white star after Larry Bird!
Michael Finley (born March 6, 1973, Melrose Parker, Illinois, USA) is a former American professional basketball player who plays as a shooting guard/small forward. In the summer of 1995, the Phoenix Suns selected Michael Finley with the 21st pick in the first round. The Suns sent away Marley that year, so he got a lot of playing time and became the team's third-leading scorer behind Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson. At the end of the season, Michael Finlay was named to the All-Rookie Team of the Year. 1996 All-Star Weekend "Rookie Contest". 9 points, 9 assists, and an All-Star Weekend slam dunk contest. 1996-97 season. The Suns rebuilt, Barkley went to Houston, veteran coach Fitzsimmons was replaced by Angie, and in order to save the team, the Suns brought in Kidd and Finley went to Dallas as one of the exchange chips. In 1997, he participated in the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. He averaged 41.4 minutes per game during the regular season, ranking first in the NBA, and played all 82 games, averaging 21.5 points and 4.9 assists per game. On April 14, 1998, against the Los Angeles Lakers, he got the first "triple-double" of his career - 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Finley's shooting skills were not perfect when he first entered the league, but he underwent technical transformation, and has a high-quality jump shooting technique, with high jumps, high shooting points, and a soft and stable shooting feeling when he leans back sharply, which is also his main offensive method. Although the height of the dunk is not very high, it is extremely fast when jumping with the strength of the calf muscles, and the sufficient strength of the lower back muscles also ensures the strong ability to stay in the air. )
For this game, the Lakers players are not worried, in the relatively strong West, Dallas still belongs to the belly team, although Dallas also entered the playoffs last season, but the performance is also obvious to all!
In fact, Dallas's strength is still okay, and if there were no injuries, Dallas was still expected to struggle in the playoffs last season! Of course, the reason for the injury is just the wishful thinking of Dallas fans themselves. In the eyes of the rest of the NBA, a porous defense has always been Dallas's signature. (Mad scientist Nelson Sr. is not called for nothing, his team is crazy on offense, but the defense is also crazy about themselves.) )
It's a big sign, and the Mavericks are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. There's no doubt about that, just look at the following data:
The Mavericks conceded an average of 106.8 points per game last season, ranking third in the league; the Mavericks limited opponents' shooting percentage to 48.6 percent, ranking second to last in the league! Seeing these statistics, if the Lakers are still worried about such an opponent, then they don't have to set their sights on the championship! Although the current Lakers are also a team that focuses on offense and light defense, it is also relative, not that the Lakers' defense is not good, but the Lakers' offensive ability is too strong relative to the defense!
There were a lot of fans who came to the American Airlines Center to watch the game, and most of them were die-hard Mavericks fans, who always supported the Mavericks regardless of the team's record.
The Mavericks entered the game before the Lakers, and when Finley came out, the cheers of the fans reached the highest point, and Nowitzki also got a high cheer, and the fans also liked this German big man who shot well!
"Dirk, take a look! Your task tonight is not easy! That Lakers rookie is also excellent in front of Webb, and he will not fall behind!" Finley kindly reminded Dirk Nowitzki, who was warming up.
Hearing this, Dirk was a little silent, the Lakers' interior line is very strong, today he and Bradley's defensive tasks are very heavy, he knows that his defense has not been very good, if he goes to defend Shaq, Shaq beats him like a child, how to toss as much as he wants!
"I'll do my best to make this guy feel bad!" Dirk looked in the direction of the Lakers and muttered to himself, the firmness in his tone could be felt by every Maverick player, and after saying that, Dirk looked at Bradley with bad intentions: "Sean, Michael, lucky today, Kobe Bryant, that guy is still recovering from injury." You're not going to be better off than me today, maybe worse than me!" Shaun Bradley was silent when he heard this!
