"Is it you or?"
"Stupid, both moved, hum."
"Haha, that's good, that's good."
"I miss you, stupid."
"Me too, Anna, wait for me at home, I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and I'll watch you two move, hehe."
"Stupid ......"
It's the usual evening session time every day, and Liu Han has to "report to work" to Anna every night when he leaves Dallas, which can be regarded as Anna's special right during pregnancy.
The lore of the Lakers actually made Liu Han feel a little strange in his heart, after all, he rose from Los Angeles, and Liu Han changed from a boy to a man in Los Angeles.
But this is the game, when it comes to the field, Liu Han forgets everything, and the only thing he can think of in the game is to defeat the opponent and defeat the opponent in an open and honest way.
On May 27th, the Staples Arena was still full, although the Lakers were killed by the Mavericks in the last game, but there are still a large number of Lakers fans who came to support the initiative, and at the same time Hollywood stars are also increasing, since the last pizza because of Liu Han's stunner and the game has attracted attention all over the world, some Hollywood movie stars in that game have also been reported by the media around the world, which makes today's game more attractive to these stars. After all, everyone wants to be more well-known.
The Lakers made some changes to the starting lineup in this game, and Devin, who was supposed to start? George was put on the bench while last season's rookie Karim? Rush got the chance to start, which shows that the Lakers still want to make a fuss about the offense today, and Karim is one of the few more consistent three-point points for the Lakers.
The game officially started, and it was still the Lakers who got the offensive right first, Payton hoisted the ball into O'Neal's hands as usual after advancing to the frontcourt, and the Mavericks immediately retracted the formation and completely encircled O'Neal.
However, O'Neal directly distributed the ball to the baseline Karim after receiving the ball, and Karim did not hesitate to shoot three points after receiving the ball, and the basketball was firmly into the basket.
Compared to previous games, the Lakers' first offense of the day was extremely resolute and concise, and they seemed to be learning the Mavericks' tactics.
Karim lived up to the manager's trust and he showed immediately from the start.
The Mavericks were unmoved and still served steadily from the baseline.
Liu Han did not encounter the Lakers' pressing defense in the dribble, and he did not directly speed up the pace as soon as he started, and Liu Han wanted to give his teammates confidence in this game.
After the Mavericks advanced to the frontcourt, they unexpectedly did not play classic tactics such as covering and blocking, but directly handed the ball to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki leaned his back against Ma Long, who was defending him, after receiving the ball in the low post, and then suddenly turned around with the power of Ma Long's push out, and the golden rooster shot independently.
After all, Malone is forty years old, and his bounce can no longer keep up with his own thinking speed, so he can only watch Nowitzki calmly shoot, and then the basketball is steadily in the frame.
Both teams got off to a very good start.
Next, the Lakers' offense is still very concise, this time it is still O'Neal as the axis, as long as the Mavericks' joint defense moves, O'Neal will immediately divide the ball to the outside, in addition to Liu Han's defensive Payton, O'Neal can pass a lot of options, and today's Lakers team is also in very good shape, the players' outside shots are all solid hits, Finley, Malone have shots, and Karim is shooting three points again.
On the other hand, the Mavericks, except for Nowitzki's first score at the beginning, the rest is to hit the iron, and the Mavericks' hand seems to have been cursed in the third quarter of the last game, and it has not recovered yet.
If it weren't for Liu Han's two three-pointers to stabilize the situation, the Mavericks would likely fall behind by ten points at the beginning.
The situation on the court made Lakers fans a little stunned, after all, this game looked so similar to the previous game, but the last game was when the Mavericks almost beat the Lakers at the beginning, and today the Lakers almost broke the Mavericks.
The Lakers, who fell behind in the overall score, played a good momentum at the beginning of this game, and they can't tolerate any mistakes in this game today, if they lose this home game again, then the next trip to Dallas is really lucky.
With four minutes played, the Lakers led the Mavericks by five points, 13-8.
Nelson didn't call a timeout in the face of such a situation, he chose to trust his disciples.
The Lakers attacked, before their offense was more of an outside shot, O'Neal seemed to be just a bait to attract the Mavericks' joint defense, but in this offense, the Lakers suddenly changed, O'Neal did not divide the ball after receiving the ball, but took advantage of the opportunity that the Mavericks had not had time to wrap the clamp and directly forcibly turned around and shot, and the ball bounced on the rebound and bounced into the net.
Today, the Lakers' tactics are very reasonable, they did not fight with the Mavericks to defend, but concentrated on their own offense, what they have to do in defense is to limit the play of Liu Han and Nowitzki as much as possible, for the rest of the Mavericks, the Lakers are completely resigned to fate, if they can shoot into the Lakers will admit it today.
What the Lakers players and fans didn't expect was that the Mavericks still didn't feel good today, and Liu Han's passes to others were almost all iron, and the more empty they were, the more iron they had.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Han had to increase his shots, which suddenly made the pressure on the Lakers fight.
Liu Han attacked with the ball, the Lakers' defense was like a big enemy, Finley's frontal marking was not counted, and Payton and Malone were vaguely moving their defensive positions towards Liu Han's position.
Although the rest of the Mavericks didn't feel good today, their tactical execution ability was still there, and their running gave Liu Han a chance to break through or make a shot.
In the face of Finley's frontal marking, Liu Han suddenly accelerated to break through to the right side, Finley and Malone immediately surrounded Liu Han, but Liu Han then turned around with a dexterous pull ball and turned to the other side to break through, and the Lakers' defensive formation immediately moved with Liu Han's movement.
Liu Han did not hesitate in the face of the bag, and jumped directly to the three-point line to shoot.
The ball was firmly planted into the basket, the Mavericks were not completely thrown off by the Lakers, as long as Liu Han is there, the Mavericks will never lack fighting spirit, and all Mavericks players know that Liu Han can bring victory to the team and bring victory after victory.
