"Hey, boss. Now the newspapers are thinking that we are the favourites to win this year. ”

The next day after the Lakers' victory over the Warriors, Harris announced that the team was on vacation.

But there are still a large number of players who have been influenced by Kobe to come to the training hall to train. Bryant's exact words were: "Only played half the game, we still need to rest?" I don't need to retire like this when I'm 38 years old! ”

The Lakers players were amused by the words of the 19-year-old Kobe, and a thick old adult tone came out of Kobe's mouth, and there was always an inexplicable sense of joy.

With the exception of a few veterans, most of the Lakers' players have continued to participate in spontaneous workouts. In the locker room, Xiaoyu took the newspaper and read it to Kobe Bryant, who was undergoing physical therapy.

"That's it! Don't look at what kind of performance we played! Garivetti gave Bryant physiotherapy while bragging about the Lakers' performance in recent games.

Gariverti, who has experienced the SHOWTIME era, clearly knows that the current Lakers' offense is definitely no worse than SHOWTIME! And the defense is even stronger!

SHOWTIME only attacked, and the defense has always been mediocre. And this Lakers team is historic both offensively and defensively! It is not surprising that such a fantastic performance as a starter has attracted the attention of a large number of fans and commentators.

Kobe Bryant kept smiling, there is no need to be too restrained at this time! The self-confidence of a king made Kobe accept these praises frankly.

The Lakers are the league's favorites to win the championship!

The Lakers are the strongest this year!

This year! I'm just going to win!

On the way to winning the championship, whether it is flowers or thorns, I am happy to smile!

This is the heart of a king.

"I'm going to Dallas tomorrow, Texas three in a row, never won." The little fish muttered a proverb that circulated among American basketball players in the mouth.

The Texas trio, the Mavericks, Spurs, and Houston, have historically not been weak teams. Much like Texas gritty customs, all three teams maintain a cowboy-like character. There have been many times in history when they have been sluggish, but it won't be long before they come back to their feet.

Although the ball market is not large, the local support rate in Texas has always been very high! This gives them a clear home advantage.

The American professional basketball team has always designed the schedule to arrange nearby teams to play together, so the Texas three-game game has become a nightmare that many teams will experience.

...

"Dallas, what a difference from Los Angeles!"

The Lakers landed in Dallas, and the style of Texas is very different from that of Los Santos.

Texas is full of a savage, desolate, and tenacious will. This is the spiritual culture left by the cowboys, a large number of livestock farming has blossomed all over Texas, and a large number of farms and farmers have made this area look wild but vibrant.

This season's Mavericks have unexpectedly played a good start with 3 wins and 2 losses.

This has something to do with their weaker opponents, but it also has a lot to do with their head coach, Mad Scientist Nelson.

Nelson has built a lineup of young players centered around Michael Finley and Steve Nash, and they are playing well. The first few games actually made it feel like a playoff tournament was on the horizon!

You must know that in this team, except for Michael Finley and Nash, there are few other players who can be named.

November 11, 1997, Reunion Stadium.

"Kobe, how's it going?" Nash wore long hair and smiled and hugged Kobe.

This season's Nash, from the Suns' third point guard, has become the Mavericks' starter!

In the first five games, Nash completely lived up to the trust of the mad scientist and Kobe Bryant, and played a very good performance.

The data has grown from last year's absolute soy sauce of 5.2+1.1+3.2 to a qualified starting point guard of 10.3+2.1+7.3. The key is that he has an extremely high shooting percentage, 47.7% overall shooting, 40.3% three-point shooting, 88.2% free throw shooting, and almost joined the 180% club in his second season!

"Hey, man. You're still a little less shot. "I also looked at the Mavericks' video before the game and found that although Nash's offense was sharp, he rarely took the initiative to play individual offense.

"Damn, I'm not you." Nash rolled his eyes, if he had Bryant's physicality, he would definitely shoot more. Now Nash Jr. still focuses most of his energy on the playmaking and defensive end, and although his defense is useless, at least his attitude is quite good.

Harris and Nelson also hugged each other.

"Welcome back! The team has been doing well lately! Harris warmly welcomed the Mad Scientist back to the League.

"Mingren doesn't say dark words, Nash for Kobe, for change?"

"Uh."

Looking at the dazed silver fox Harris, the mad scientist laughed, of course he knew that Kobe was not tradable, he just wanted to make a joke.

"Nash, a point guard, will develop very well in the future." Harris also studied the video of Nash's game, which is also the 96 golden generation, Kobe Bryant and Iverson have come a long way, but behind them, there are always some people who disdain to catch up.

Nash is the hardest-working and most talented one.

"Hey, Nash's passing vision, the shooting feel is amazing. But his offensive sense and physique are not very good, but it doesn't matter, this is only the second grade, and our calf is rebuilding here! ”

"Haha, Don, you don't want to play the playoffs while rebuilding!"

The atmosphere between the Mavericks and the Lakers is very friendly, and Nash spent a whole month training with these Lakers players in the summer. The Lakers players also sincerely wished Nash the starter.

But the game is always brutal.

As soon as the game began, Bryant hoisted the ball high under the basket.

O'Neal rises to the ground, knocks away the opposing center, and throws the ball into the basket.

Shabu out of the basket!

Throw yourself and grab yourself!

Pull onions on dry land, grab rebounds in the crowd, and then hit the board to score.

Violent!

The ferocious O'Neill, interpreting the dominance of the big shark!

Nash pushes forward with the ball.

"Let me see how much you've grown!"

Kobe Bryant fit pounced!

This kind of offensive and defensive drills have been carried out countless times in the summer off-season!

The difference is that it was training and now it's racing!

Nash's eyes were calm, as if he was not worried about Kobe's pressing.

His mind is doing crazy calculations!

Kobe Bryant's defensive habits! How is the safest way to advance yourself?

The basketball flies, like an obedient elf.

Crotch! Hasten!

Stop!

Secondary Acceleration!

Step by step!

Take the ball past half court!

"It's not broken! Nash resisted Kobe's pressing! ”

"This is the first time this season that Kobe Bryant has failed to press all over the court!"

Kobe Bryant was also a little surprised, Nash couldn't do this in the summer, Nash grew so fast!?
