Chapter Seventy-Six: Los Angeles and Wait for the Stars to Gather

After the victory over the SuperSonics, the Mavericks set off for Salt Lake City overnight, and Liu Han also traveled there from Dallas, the two-week "vacation" made Liu Han a lot lazy, but at the same time, it also made him look forward to playing again, accustomed to the tense state of muscles every day, and Liu Han will inevitably be a little strange after leisure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On January 28, 2004, the Mavericks beat the Jazz 116-94 on the road.

Liu Han did not start in the first game after nearly two weeks of rest, and Nelson felt that after all, he did a full set of dramas and could not let the news of Liu Han's fake injury become a well-known thing.

Liu Han didn't play a minute in the first quarter of the game, and the overall state of the Mavericks was also a little poor, after all, it was a back-to-back game in consecutive away games, and no matter how good the player's body was, he also needed a proper rest, and the players of the Mavericks have been playing very hard in recent games, so the physical exertion is greater, so the decline in state is a matter of course.

In the first quarter, the two teams tied at 24.

After entering the second quarter of the game, Liu Han led the Mavericks' bench to play a continuous attack wave, under Liu Han's full firepower, the Jazz team had to replace the main players in advance, and Kirilenko only rested for less than four minutes before returning to the court, and the result still could not limit Liu Han's scoring.

In the face of Liu Han's unpredictable outside shooting combined action, Kirilenko was shaken and almost couldn't find the north.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks scored 45 points in a single quarter, Liu Han scored 23 points alone, and made 5 of 6 three-point shots, and the entire Delta Air Lines Center arena was silent.

The Mavericks established a 19-point lead in the second quarter, and the third quarter once widened the difference, after Liu Han returned to the team, the Mavericks players found their previous feelings, and at the same time hesitated to have a clear understanding of their positioning, so Liu Han felt that the game was also relaxed, and he didn't need to try to observe his teammates' running positions when dribbling as before, because now his teammates will almost always appear in the most suitable position.

By the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had already decided to win the game, and the nearly 30-point difference was not something a team like the Jazz that relied on defense to eat could recover in a single quarter.

After the victory over the Jazz, the Mavericks have an easier schedule, with six games to play before the All-Star break, and with the exception of the home game against the Pistons on Feb. 7 and back-to-back home games against the Hawks and Knicks on the 9th and 10th, the other games are not too tough.

After the victory over the Jazz, the Mavericks made the rest of the league a little worried for a while, such a team has some similarities with the Bulls and the Lakers during the Liu Han era, and they are all teams that make the entire league tremble.

The cornerstone of the dynasty team stepping on the throne is naturally overshadowed by other teams, and the league naturally does not want to see such a situation, but now due to the retirement of the older generation of superstars, and the new generation of stars are still on the road, the league also urgently needs one or several stars to bring new glory to the league.

After two days of rest, the Mavericks welcomed the Nuggets challenge at home, Anthony relied on the support of the team and his own efforts to finally have a sign of getting out of the "rookie wall", I have to say, he is the most comprehensive technical ability among the rookie players in this class, but due to personality problems, he always seems a little immature.

Now Anthony has restrained a lot in the face of Liu Han, although he also wants to beat Liu Han, but he also knows how to score correctly, hard and brute force is not what he is good at, so he tries to avoid the strong points of the Mavericks' defense in the offense and find the holes in the Mavericks' defense to score, which makes his efficiency increase a lot.

However, in this game, Liu Han returned to the starting point guard position, and the veteran Allen? McGee's place was also taken by Josh Howard, and the Mavericks had no obvious holes in their defense.

Therefore, the Nuggets did not play what they were good at in the past in today's game, but were frequently counterattacked by the Mavericks due to the movement speed problem on the inside.

In the end, they lost 102-117 to the Mavericks on the road.

Anthony scored a team-high 26 points, while Liu Han on the Mavericks' side brushed up another triple-double and scored 31 points, Nowitzki also scored a double-double, and was able to grab 14 rebounds under the sandwich of Marcus Camby and the Brazilian inside**, Nowitzki's growth is very conspicuous.

After this game, the Mavericks' first month of 2004 was over, except for the two games lost by Liu Han's absence, the Mavericks did not have any major surprises, Liu Han once again beat Garnett to become the best player in the West, this is the third consecutive time he has become the best player of the month, if nothing else, Liu Han will win this year's regular season MVP, it is very obvious that no player can bring such a big change to a team.

Before the All-Star break, the Mavericks played at home for several games, which gave the Mavericks a good opportunity to adjust, half a season has passed, and all teams need a chance to recuperate, even if the medical staff on the Mavericks' side is excellent, the human body can't rotate.

As the annual NBA event is second only to the Finals, the All-Star Game is a great way for the league to gather popularity, especially this year, the attention from Asia and Europe has made the All-Star Game more popular around the world.

Liu Han's return to the NBA not only made various countries in Asia pay more attention here, but also brought some attention from Europe, Liu Han attracted the love of many European football fans when he broke into football, they were very curious about Liu Han's performance in the NBA, coupled with the NBA league's sparing efforts to promote and the help of Adidas, this year's NBA All-Star Game has received a wide range of attention in Europe.

In Asia, Liu Han has long been a household name, he is not only one of the representative figures of a country, but also an excellent representative of a race, just like Bruce Lee, he let the world know the kung fu from the East, and Liu Han also let the world know that yellow people can also have sports superstars.

Such a character, his life experience is so legendary, and he also has the kind of infatuation and single-mindedness of the Oriental tradition, which will of course arouse the love of most people in the East, and Liu Han's upcoming All-Star Game has naturally received strong attention from the East, and there are many people looking forward to Liu Han's performance in the three-point shooting contest again.
