Chapter 655: Dessert before the meal
Dallas, located in Texas, is the largest city in the continent and the ninth largest city in the United States. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As a megacity, Dallas naturally has a very well-developed sports scene. The Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League, the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball, and FC Dallas of Major League Soccer are all indispensable and important forces in each league. The city of Dallas has a footstep in all major leagues, and their professionalism in sports is very high.
Of course, in the ranks of the Dallas professional sports team, the most familiar to Chinese fans is undoubtedly the Dallas Mavericks, which belong to the NBA league.
As a team that has only won a championship in five years, the Mavericks have been very hot. What's more, Mavericks owner Cuban is also a very good guy at using the media and making news.
So, even though the Mavericks are still struggling at seventh and eighth positions so far this season, and are even in danger of falling out of the playoffs, they are still one of the most talked-about teams.
With these conditions, coupled with the superstar effect of German Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks have successfully integrated with the international community and become popular in Europe.
No, in today's game, the Dallas Mavericks were able to get the treatment of national live broadcast at home. You know, a team ranked like the Mavericks usually doesn't have so many national live broadcasts. But it's because they're called the Dallas Mavericks that they're different.
Although he was given another chance to show himself in front of fans around the world, the atmosphere in the Mavericks' locker room was a little solemn.
Because the other team involved in this game, the Portland Trail Blazers, is definitely one of the worst opponents.
Rick Carlisle is a big headache right now, and the Mavericks' ranking makes them have to take every opportunity to win every game, even if the opponent is the No. 1 in the league and the defending champion, they must fight to the end.
But the Mavericks' interior lineup this season can be described as quite embarrassing, and Damham Porter, a veteran who entered the league in 01, is now the only starting center that the Mavericks can handle.
You must know that Anjie's first NBA game was against the 76ers in the preseason, and the starting center of the 76ers at that time was Durham Porter.
At that time, Anjie, who had just come out of college, was already unable to cope with Dylampoter. Now, the gap between the two is even greater.
That's why Claire is worried, as Ballam Porter is no threat to Anjie, in other words, the Mavericks don't have any way to limit the two-time MVP with half an hour left before the game starts.
Another bad news is that yesterday, the Trail Blazers officially announced that Aldridge will return for today's game.
Aldridge's comeback is undoubtedly a double blow to the Mavericks. Hopefully, Aldridge, who has just returned from injury, will be affected.
Claire, who was anxious, couldn't help but look at Nowitzki, who was also an international player, and the only person he could look up to was this German.
It's not that Nowitzki can limit Anjie on the defensive end, but Nowitzki can recover the points he lost.
"Dirk. Claire suddenly stood up and called Nowitzki's name.
"What's the matter, sir. ”
"Let go of your hands and feet and fight!"
"Hey, I will!"

"How does it feel to be back in the ring. Angel crossed his waist and stood with Aldridge.
Aldridge closed his eyes, enjoying the sound of shouts passing past him.
"Excellent!" replied Aldridge, snapping his eyes open.
"Ann, LaMarcus, come here!" At this moment, Divac's shouting interrupted the conversation between the two, and the game was about to begin, and Divac was about to gather everyone for the final deployment.
When An Jie saw Daimham Potter standing in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Time really flies by without noticing.
The first time I played in the NBA against Ballam Porter, I still remember vividly, but in fact, it was six years ago.
"How have you been?" Unexpectedly, An Jie didn't spew trash talk at his opponent, and even Dareham Potter was a little unresponsive.
"Uh...... So-so. "Dalham Potter didn't have much in common with Anjie, and his answer was a bit blunt.
"So-so...... It's good......" As soon as An Jie's words fell, the referee blew his whistle. At the same time, the basketball jumped into the air, and Daimport, who did not have an advantage in height and bounce, lost without any suspense. The Trail Blazers won the first attack on the Mavericks' home court!
In this game, Divac and Ricard did not let him start, although they agreed to Aldridge's request to return.
Therefore, at the moment, it is still Robin Lopez who is partnering with Anjie on the court on the inside.
Claire's heart has eased a little, and not letting Aldridge start directly means that Aldridge's state and body have not yet met expectations?
But Claire didn't rejoice long before the Trail Blazers scored.
"What!?" the Trail Blazers scored for the first time so fast that Claire, who had just been distracted, didn't even see it clearly.
The guy couldn't help but get up from the bench and look up at the big screen.
The big screen began to defend the picture of the Trail Blazers scoring just now, only to see that Lillard had just dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and Anjie had already landed in the deep low post.
No matter how Daim Potter pushed, An Jie just didn't move. Lillard hurriedly passed the ball, fearing that such a good position would disappear in an instant.
In the end, when Anjie received the basketball, Dalem Porter still couldn't push Anjie out.
An Jie, who received the ball, jumped directly on one foot, raised the basketball high with his right hand, and shook his wrist.
The basketball went over Durham Porter's fingers and landed firmly into the net. An easy hook and that's it. This also indicates that Anjie beats Durham Bot so easily!
"It's okay Samuel, we'll just call back!" Nowitzki patted Damham Potter on the shoulder, he didn't want Damham Potter to feel too guilty and guilty.
Nowitzki understands Bowler's goal, even if Bowler gave Jackie a 30-point score today. After all, it is indeed too reluctant to let a veteran with mediocre strength defend the strongest player in the league.
But as Nowitzki said, the Mavericks were quick to respond on the offensive end. It's just that the person who responds is not Nowitzki, but Monta Ellis, who has been driving high and low this season.
At the beginning of the season, Ellis played well with the Mavericks, and his old selfish habits seem to have subsided a lot. Nowitzki, who is humble, even told the media personally that the core of the Mavericks is Ellis, and he is willing to take a back seat.
You know, not all team cores are willing to give up their positions. It makes more sense that Nowitzki said such things in front of the media.
Ellis did have a perfect honeymoon with the Mavericks, but after the honeymoon period, Ellis seemed to be getting impatient again and becoming more and more like before.
It wasn't until the end that the people of Dallas found out. There is only one core in the city, and he is called Nowitzki.
Despite his inconsistent performances, Ellis was able to break out once in a while or two. The beautiful pull-up jump shot just now also gave Mavericks fans and Claire a certain amount of confidence. If Ellis breaks out, the Mavericks might be able to wrestle with the Trail Blazers.
The two sides continued to fight with a 2-2 draw.
An Jie still kills all sides on the inside, and on the Mavericks' side, everyone plays unexpectedly hard.
The first quarter played most of the game, but the scores of the two sides were still anxious. Divac couldn't help but look at the game time on the big screen, and it was time for some fresh blood to come on.
The former Kings center walked straight up to Aldridge, who immediately got up and took off his training jersey in just three seconds.
The camera camera also temporarily left the court, focusing on the Trail Blazers' No. 2 star who was about to play after returning from injury.
"Send it to you!Vlad!" Aldridge was eager to try.
"After the dead ball, you go on the pitch and take for Robin. Hey, pull me away, okay?"
"Wrap it up on me!" Aldridge replied affirmatively.
On the court, Anjie and Lillard completed a pick-and-roll combination. After Lillard broke through, Anjie also quickly went down. Dalem Potter, who is slow-moving, can only follow behind Anjie's ass.
Anjie received Lillard's pass, and seeing that Durham Porter hadn't caught up with him, Anjie slammed his legs hard to make him jump high.
Unexpectedly, Nowitzki, who was originally guarding next to Robin, suddenly pounced. This guy probably thinks he has to do something.
Nowitzki, however, is not a blocker fan. He bravely intercepted, only for him to get a foul.
Aldridge walked to the technical table excitedly, and Anjie was going to make a free throw, which meant that he was also going to play!
In the first penalty, An Jie withstood the boos of the fans and steadily scored the ball.
At this time, the game is dead, and the players on both sides start to rotate.
Aldridge and Robin high-fived, he looked at the basketball court, his mother, must be watching him on TV!
"I'll make you proud of me, Mother!" Aldridge drew a cross on his chest and scurried onto the pitch!
What about Angel? This guy looked at Aldridge on the court and smiled.
Because this tall 00 knows that everything just now is just an appetizer. Now, the show is officially Cairo!
