"Beautiful, well done, Marlon again, wonderful mid-range shot, today he regained his youth, this game is worth looking forward to. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Once again, the old Staples commentator praised Malone.

After being beaten by the Mavericks in the opening game and called a timeout directly, the Lakers who returned to the court found their rhythm, although O'Neal was deliberately targeted, but today's forty-year-old Malone suddenly broke out, he did not swing his big elbow on the offensive end, but used consecutive high jump shots to chase the score for the Lakers.

On the defensive end, the Lakers' overall defensive formation has been completely expanded, and the Mavericks have been pressed in all directions, although this will make the Lakers players physically exhausted a lot to a certain extent, but at least the point difference has begun to narrow, after all, the Mavericks have completely opened up only Liu Han and Nowitzki on the offensive end.

The Mavericks used a concise offense and Liu Han's strong play to open up the margin at one point, but the Lakers were not so easy to deal with, and when they united and took the game seriously, the individual strength of the players was able to show reasonably.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Han had to start controlling the ball again, although Odom has a certain offensive organization ability, but he is not particularly experienced, after all, he is the first to try to control the ball this season.

The two sides entered a stalemate after returning from a four-minute timeout, with the Mavericks using Liu Han's personal ability to maintain a certain shooting percentage in the offense, while the Lakers also relied on the personal ability of Malone and O'Neal to open up the situation, and the score gap has been hovering between 5 and 7 points.

After a bad start, Staples regained a warm atmosphere, and the two teams did not put much energy into defense, after all, no one could prevent the other, so the game was more focused on attack, which feasted the eyes of the fans present.

All the big and small stars on the sidelines are cheering for the teams they support, but after all, this is Staples, so there are obviously more people who support the Lakers, but there are still people who support the Mavericks, Keanu Reeves is a clear supporter of the Mavericks because of Liu Han, and he will stand up and cheer after the Mavericks score, although Keanu Reeves is a particularly quiet person in private, but when he came to the arena, the atmosphere here still infected him.

In Staples, there are still many Chinese or ethnic Chinese who hold Chinese flags to support Liu Han, and some of them are not even real fans, just because of Liu Han's identity and support the Mavericks.

However, in terms of the general trend, there are still a large number of fans of the Lakers, and whenever Liu Han gets the ball, there will always be a lot of boos, and there are always more realistic people than nostalgic people.

About eight minutes into the first quarter, the Mavericks first began to make adjustments, Nowitzki was replaced, veteran Allen McGee came on, and at the same time, Jamison was replaced, Korver came on, and the Mavericks completely played a small lineup.

The Lakers have also made adjustments, after all, their fitness is problematic to a certain extent, and if they want to play at the current defensive intensity, they probably can support three quarters of the game at most, so rotation is a must.

After the rotation of the two sides, the Mavericks immediately played an offensive climax, without O'Neal and Malone sitting on the inside, the Mavericks began to break through frantically under the leadership of Liu Han, and at the same time, because the Mavericks had a stable three-point point on the outside, Liu Han's point of distribution was more threatening, Korver has made great progress in this season of the Mavericks, and he is now a more famous three-point shooter among the 03-level rookies.

The Mavericks now have a very good three-point ability on the court, which makes it difficult for the Lakers to defend, Liu Han can break through or shoot directly, this alone makes the Lakers' defense very headache, and then there is the deterrence of other people on the outside, Liu Han's ball-holding offense is much freer.

By the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks had extended the margin to 14 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers replaced O'Neal and Malone, while Liu Han on the Mavericks' side came off the bench with Nowitzki on the bench, and the Lakers began to catch up with the score again.

This season, many teams will be like this when they meet the Mavericks, the beginning is suppressed by the Mavericks, the main player plays in the bench players to chase points, the Mavericks use the opponent's physical problems in the third and fourth quarters to play a wave to end the suspense of the game, this is the Mavericks' usual rhythm, unfortunately, today's Lakers also encountered this problem, and they have to do this, because there is no other better way to chase points.

With less than five minutes to go in the second quarter, the Lakers narrowed the deficit to six points and saw hope of tying the score, but when Liu Han re-entered the game with two three-pointers and a steal to re-widen the difference, the Lakers fell into a passive situation again.

In the first quarter of the Lakers, Malone stood up to help the team bite the score, and in the second quarter, it was Finley who stood up, Finley has been ignored in all kinds of ways in the Lakers, and even some media say that he is not a "king" at all, but it must be admitted that Finley's personal strength is still there, his physical condition is very good, plus after Clent's training in the past few years, he also has a stable shot on the outside, but because he has fewer opportunities to shoot this season, it seems that his sense of presence is a little insufficient, But he is indeed capable.

After the two teams returned to the court, Finley nearly finished rookie Josh Howard on the offensive end.

Howard was a bit impulsive at times, and Finley used that to make a two-and-one on Howard in a row.

If it weren't for Finley's brave performance, maybe the Mavericks would have been able to completely open up the gap in the second quarter, and the Lakers would definitely not be able to catch up.

Liu Han still controlled the rhythm of the game steadily in the second quarter, although the defense of the Mavericks was still unstoppable, but the offense was very stable, with Liu Han to attract the defensive pressure of the Lakers, the rest of the Mavericks also had ample opportunities to shoot, so the difference between the two teams has been about 10 points.

In the second half of the second quarter, O'Neal also made some gains on the offensive end, he took advantage of the Mavericks' declining physical strength to grab frontcourt rebounds on the inside, which forced the Mavericks to foul him, but O'Neal's free throws today were not as brave as in the last game, and the free throw shooting rate of about 50% was acceptable for the Mavericks.

The second quarter ended with the two teams tied at 65-54, with the Mavericks leading by 11 points to end the first half.
