What made the fans in the arena feel interesting was the Mavericks players who were about the same as the Magic team in terms of rankings.

It's very different in terms of performance.

This season, the Mavericks seem to have become more resilient.

Seth Curry, who was with the Kings last season, was reused after coming to the Mavericks.

And at this time he has not yet scored.

Wharton: "Russell, you're going to pass more in the next game and try to shoot on the outside when you get a chance." ”

Russell: "Okay, I got it"

Look at the players around him, Li Feng was replaced by Wharton during this timeout.

But he was replaced with Ingram and Kobe.

Now Walton's idea is to still let the team practice more and not send the strongest team on the court.

Reed: "Defensively, we don't necessarily have to do anything with the Lakers. But in terms of scoring, we can fight hard with the Lakers.

The opponent Li Feng should be very careful. He has a very good control of the team's tempo.

Deron and Curry, both of you score more points. Although there is a good chance that the Lakers will win this game, who will know until the end......"

After the timeout, players from both sides came back, and the Mavericks didn't change their head.

Li Feng of the Lakers went to rest.

Nick Young is down, Russell is up, and now the main thing to strengthen is Russell's organizational ability and on-the-spot experience!

Although last season in the Lakers under Scott's coaching, Russell also got some opportunities to play.

But it's still very different from this season.

First of all, the team is now very promising. The second is that Wharton is working hard in almost every aspect of the Lakers.

This is something that the Lakers' veteran players can feel at this time.

If you don't play well in such a situation, you really can't even talk about it.

Another is that Wharton is similar to Coach Scott in the previous two seasons.

Give the second team more playing time, and at the same time don't give up the training and play time of the third team.

As soon as Bryant came up, Russell immediately passed the ball.

In the face of the defense of Delon and Matthews, Kobe Bryant directly used his rhythm to shake off the opponent and hit a jumper!

This is the way the Lakers can't open the game.

Deron received Nowitzki's serve and came to the frontcourt, Curry immediately got rid of Russell, and then hit a three-point shot under the cover of his teammates!

10:2！ Wharton felt that this Mavericks could do it at this time~

Bryant asked Russell for the ball directly, but the other party didn't give it.

Russell, whose hands were trembling a little at this time, dribbled through half court with some difficulty, and then passed the ball to Ingram.

That's what Wharton told him, to be a point guard on the court, to have your own opinions.

The most obvious of these is not to always pass the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant: "Didn't you hear me say give me the ball?" ”

Russell: "The boss said let me organise the game...... So. ”

Kobe: "So you dare not listen to me?!" ”

Russell: "Coach Wharton said let me organize the game......"

After repeating it, the young Russell immediately ran away~ Ingram and Matthews tangled for a short while, and then passed the ball out!

Zubac received the ball and let Barnes get a foul and score the ball!

The fans at Staples Arena immediately cheered! Zubac turned around and high-fived Ingram in celebration.

Then come to the free throw line and score the ball!

Zubac and Ingram are like Russell, Clarkson and Randle two years ago.

Like them, the two on the Lakers are currently better at Ingram.

But now there is also a situation of inconsistent performance.

Playing in the league, it is really not easy for newcomers to get consistent statistics.

This time Dallas made a puzzling move, that is, Nowitzki rushed straight out, and then he got Delon's pass.

In the face of Blake's defense, the chariot jumped directly and hit a three-point shot!

Then Russell's long-distance 2 points were not, and Delon went to the front court without passing, and jumped directly into the net with a three-point hollow!

Wharton: "Well done! Russell's main aim is to string the whole team together, or find a powerful scoring point to pass the ball! ”

Kobe: "Did you hear that?" Bring it to you! ”

Saying that, the black mamba directly snatched the basketball from Russell's hand and rushed to the frontcourt.

Russell: "......"

came to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant directly met Matthews and scored a jumper!

16：8！ This time the Mavericks didn't score, and Blake picked up a rebound and passed it to Russell.

The latter rushed straight over, eventually causing Curry to foul and then make 1 of 2 free throws.

......

The first quarter ended at 30:23, and Wharton looked at his opponent's posture tonight and tried it with a strong lineup.

Neither Nick Young nor Russell had any intention of letting them go up in the second quarter.

The other side has also made certain adjustments.

Deron and Nowitzki were replaced. Defensive stalwarts Knorr and Barria were replaced in the game.

The lineup on the Lakers' side has changed to Randle, Lore Deng, Nance, Li Feng and Kobe!

The opponent's posture today is to fight with the Lakers, so the Mavericks players on the court are playing very actively!

Kobe Bryant: "Today's game is really not very easy to play"

Li Feng: "It's really a little hard to control. The other party was in great shape tonight"

Bryant: "You mean? ”

Li Feng: "Winning is definitely winning, but it is slower than the last game"

Kobe Bryant wanted to see if Li Feng had similar thoughts to other teammates.

But at this time, Li Feng didn't think about losing. The first quarter of the game made the Lakers a lot weaker.

It didn't take long for Nance Jr. to get the basketball, and then Lore Deng's catch-and-shoot jumper was interfered with by Noll!

Then Curry held the ball across the half court, and got up directly to hit a three-point shot before Li Feng arrived in time!

Li Feng, who watched the whole quarter of the game off the court, felt that the rhythm of the Mavericks' game was very well controlled.

This directly made it a lot more difficult for the Lakers to attack.

This time, Li Feng took the ball by himself, and was directly surrounded by Barria and Curry, and threw the ball high to Kobe Bryant.

The latter immediately got up and hit a three-pointer back!

After Li Feng came on the court, the emotions of the players on the Mavericks' side became even more excited!

Barria quickly dribbled across the half court and watched Kobe Bryant come over and immediately pass the ball to Barnes!

In the end, Matthews got up and made a jumper and was directly fanned off by Nance Jr.! Bryant picked up the ball and passed it to Li Feng.

The latter immediately dribbled a few times and then got up and hit a three-point shot! 33:29！

Curry has the ball across the halfcourt, and he's been an important shooting guard in Dallas this season!

Although he can't compare with his brother in the Warriors, his career is gradually ushering in spring.

The Mavericks were not stunned at all after seeing the Lakers' form pick up.

The team handled the ball patiently and was eventually fouled by the Lakers for 24 seconds.

Li Feng was caught immediately after getting the ball, and Nance Jr. got up and missed a three-point shot after getting Li Feng's ground-hitting pass.

Then Curry received a pass from Knoll and hit a three-pointer immediately after halftime!

Wharton knew that today's game was mainly for training. But losing is winning, he hasn't thought about it yet.

But now, it's not easy to win, so I changed the strong lineup in advance.

At this time, the opponent asked for a timeout to get Nowitzki back on the court.

Barnes is off the field, and Noll is playing at power forward!

The Lakers' main goal in the second quarter was not to widen the deficit.

At this time, the guards on the field are very good at shooting, and their center and power forward can play one and the other can defend!

As long as the first half is over, then the game is basically coming to an end!

The Lakers' shooting accuracy decreased a little at this time, and Li Feng immediately sank his mentality.

The opponent has always kept the lead within a certain range.

And the Lakers are looking for a breakthrough!

......

The few Mavericks fans in the scene were excited, maybe for the Lakers this season, the team that really defeated them is only now appearing, right?!

46:40！ The Lakers' side has become very calm at this time!

On the Dallas side, teammates relied on Nowitzki's hot touch to maintain this slight lead.

Li Feng took the ball to the front court by himself, and when the opponent was waiting for him to pass the ball, Li Feng directly came to score three points!

Curry was fast, but he was immediately targeted by Kobe!

Then the pass passed, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer under Lore Deng's defense!

At this time, Li Feng felt that he couldn't rely on the players under the basket, and Xiao Nance didn't feel good today.

Then you can only rely on him and Kobe!

Then he came to the front court with the ball, and Li Feng directly dodged Barria's defense and hit a three-point shot!

......

The ensuing match ended in 59:55!

The Mavericks are still ahead, and the Lakers aren't at a loss. The final score of the third quarter was 80:78! At this time, the Lakers are only 2 points behind!

The score is 91:90! The two sides have entered the final quarter of the contest!

The players on the Dallas side are basically tired!

Their lineup for the final quarter was Nowitzki, Knoll, Matthews, Deron and Curry! On the Lakers' side are Randle, Lore Deng, Ingram, Li Feng and Lowe!

What makes the Mavericks feel a little tired at this time is that the Lakers have been rotating the lineup, and it seems that the Mavericks have been leading.

But they let Nowitzki fight for a long time today!

The main players of the team basically didn't get much rest!

I've been fighting like this until now. The Lakers are still waiting for the other side to make a move.

And the Mavericks players here are wondering when the game will end.

Under the basket, the opponent's defense has been unable to keep up, and Randle, Ingram and Lowe are getting better and better at shooting!

Li Feng feels that the turning point of this game has arrived!

Delong didn't look at it, Lu Wei received Li Feng's ball and raised his hand to hit a three-point shot!

93:91！ The Lakers overtake their opponents! The head coach of the Mavericks was hugging his shoulders on the sidelines at this time, his face was pale.

He seems to have thought about what will happen in the next game.

Wharton: "I'm still nervous, I don't know if I can win the next game." It seems that it is stable now."

Kobe: "Li Feng told me on the field today. The other party is more powerful, and it is certain that we will win. But just slow down."

Wharton: "Hmm. There is him in my direction. This kid is amazing.

If time gives Nowitzki a few more years, or makes you a few years younger......"

Kobe Bryant: "If you were a few years ahead of this game, the opponent would have such a lineup. We're really hanging.

The overall strength of the opponent is still much weaker than ours. So, now it seems that their weaknesses have been revealed."

Then Matthews layup was capped!

Lore Deng picked up the basketball and passed it straight to Ingram, who immediately scored three points again!

Reed saw this scene and finally asked for the last timeout of the game.

The two teams were surprisingly consistent this time, with the managers of both sides saying almost nothing.

This timeout was given to the players for a short break. The Lakers also took a break.

Then Curry dribbled the ball across the half court, and was finally defended by Li Feng bluntly.

Lu Wei got the basketball on the side, and then Randle received the ball and scored a dunk!

Nowitzki was also a little angry at this time, he was tired of basketball, and then he was dealing with Ingram, a young player on the Lakers' side.

Ended up hitting a three-pointer in front of him!

Li Feng passed the half court directly and quickly, and finally got a pass from his teammates, and in the face of Delong's defense, he easily passed the opponent and scored points after layup!

Then Delon hit a 2-pointer!

The competition is coming to an end! Nowitzki went straight to basketball, and in contact with Ingram and Lore Deng, he finally hit a three-point shot!

100:99！ At the end of the game, the Mavericks came over to catch up with the Lakers.

But the Lakers didn't give the opponent a chance, after three points, the opponent made a mistake, the Lakers passed the ball quickly again, and Li Feng also hit a three-pointer at the last moment of the game!

The final match ended with 106:99!

Seeing the end of the game, Nowitzki immediately put his hands on his knees and looked straight ahead.

Bryant walked up and patted him on the back.

The chariot stood up and shook his head with a smile, but Bryant nodded with certainty and praised him for doing his best.

Kobe Bryant can especially understand Nowitzki's feelings, that kind of situation where I am the only one on the team to score, Kobe has been through too much.

At the end of the game, his teammates had little offensive ability, either too tired or unable to break through the Lakers' defense.

At this time, the old Dirk, who had the 19th idea of fighting, was really overdrawn a lot in terms of physical fitness.

But if the team wants to win, and the manager wants to win, he will still let him continue to play. Like Kobe, Nowitzki is also planning to retire in the next few years.

The Mavericks management is similar to the Los Angeles side, and they all respect their supergiant player very much!

But that would only drag down the team, and the team would now pay Dirk more than $20 million a year!

Unlike this year's Lakers, here in Dallas, there is still no hope for Dirk this season.

The team has not seen much improvement in terms of operation and rankings at the moment.

So the time he is now in the arena has entered the countdown.

Nowitzki: "Li Feng, this guy is getting better and better every year. You're going to have to work well with him.

If the Lakers still need Li Feng next season, he is the future of the Lakers. ”

Bryant: "I've thought that too. ”

Russell overheard the conversation between the two supergiants at this time, and his heart was sour.
