Chapter 210
The offseason was finally over in the eyes of the players, and the 2003-2004 season officially began.
The league arranged four games on the first day, and without any cover-up, it directly took out the Lakers that people were looking forward to as the league's first game.
The Los Angeles Lakers' first game, in their home arena Staples, faced the Dallas Mavericks, who had just upgraded their lineup.
After getting Antoine Walker, the Mavericks' offensive level reached a peak, Nowitzki, Antoine Walker, Michael Finley, Steve Nash plus Antoine Jamison, this is the blind shooting team of the early 21st century. His offensive firepower is even comparable to that of the New York Knicks after George Carr took over last season.
But such a team is also trembling, because they are now facing a more luxurious super team that is 10,000 times more luxurious than them, the Los Angeles Lakers with four Hall of Fame players, not to mention whether the four of them are at their peak, just such a combination has made people have to walk on thin ice to face it.
This is a game that has attracted basketball fans from all over the league and even the country and even the world, even if it is a pity, it is rare to leave the training hall and stay in front of the TV early, waiting to watch the Lakers' first game of the season.
However, the Lakers' first game of the season was not so smooth, as the team's future Kobe, was not able to participate in the game, cough cough, mainly because of the style of life.
However, this game still attracted everyone's attention.
The game is about to start, the starters on both sides have already come to the court, and the TV director not only gave a close-up of the players at this time, but also the coaches of both sides, Phil Jackson is naturally needless to say, from beginning to end he looks like an old god, and the old Nelson is also full of confidence.
If there is anyone in the current league who is not afraid of the Lakers, then this old man is definitely one of them, and even if he loses, he will rush up and hit his head and bleed.
At the beginning of the game, O'Neal easily jumped to the ball, and the Lakers took the lead in attacking.
In the opening game, the Lakers were attacked by two new signings.
Payton handed the ball to Karl Malone, who was old but had more strength than a guy like Antoine Walker.
"Toot ~"
Ten seconds into the opening game, Antoine Walker received a foul, but fortunately it was not a shooting foul, and the Lakers served in the half.
The Lakers, who attacked again, played a little casually, O'Neal missed a shot, and the Mavericks got a rebound in the backcourt.
But the Mavericks' offense didn't play as well as they wanted.
What's even more jaw-dropping is that the two sides made two mistakes in the opening three minutes, two unnecessary fouls, and did not score a single goal, and O'Neal missed a series of free throws.
Finally, there was a goal, but it was the cooperation of Fisher and Devin George from the Lakers.
Ewing once discussed with Mo Xi what kind of existence a super center is, Ewing said, not only super centers, but also with super interior lines, their existence on the court is only one way, dominating the game. Even if there are two super inside confrontations, there will rarely be a situation of confrontation, and in most cases, one side defeats the other, like the three of them.
But right now, Mo Xi can't see the Lakers' dominance at all, no matter which position is the same, no, can't say that that position is the same, at least for now, Gary Payton is bloodbathing Nash.
Payton, the most terrifying presence among point guards, not one, even the Magic can't shake his position, even Kidd said I'm happy to leave the West, but facing Payton twice in a season is still a bit much. The reason why Peyton can have such a status in the rivers and lakes is because of his god-killing weapon, Pei Shi Sonic Gong.
Nash's body is a weakness, and when he encounters a back-to-back point guard like Payton, it is not easy to defend, coupled with the chatter, Nash was directly defeated.
"Son, that's what your mother taught you?"
"Oh! That's not going to work! Basketball is a dangerous thing, give it to me! ”
"My little girl, what are you doing, touching my ass?"
"Ahh If you use a little more force, the white girl I was looking for last time also got it for me. ”
"What are you doing? Oh, sorry, I forgot to wipe it after squatting in the morning, use your mouth to help me. ”
It's not the first time that Nash has been crushed by Gary Payton in all directions. Even if he is as strong as Payton, it is inevitable that he will go downhill at this age, but obviously, thanks to his unique "skills", Peyton's career will seem to be a little longer.
When the Lakers' superstar advantage was not reflected in other positions, Payton's crushing of Nash was particularly prominent.
It is precisely because of this that the Lakers have maintained the suppression of the Mavericks.
I have to say that the lineup of the Lakers and the Mavericks is indeed very exciting, and the fans on both sides are very happy to watch, but Mo Xi keenly feels that it is unnatural.
Last season's Knicks lineup was also very ball-minded, but far from being like the current Lakers, even Phil Jackson could barely dominate the locker room.
The Lakers are playing too chaotic, and even if they seem to be in order, it's only because Gary Payton's playmaking skills are really good.
In the aristocratic Staples Center, the Lakers won Game 1 both perfectly and imperfectly. From the overall perspective of the game, the Lakers' superstars did not even play half of their level, and even at best, they could only be regarded as playing in a state of poor performance.
Mo Xi turned off the TV early, and then went out shopping with Ding Xiaowei......
As a professional basketball player, Mo Xi said that life is a workout everywhere, you see, this is.
The Knicks will face the Orlando Magic, who have also been upgraded, tomorrow, and according to the agreement of George Karl and Moxi, he will face the new scoring champion, Tracy McGrady, in the first game of the season.
Mo Xi only felt that there was a fire in his body now, burning brightly, and he had nowhere to vent, but there were flames everywhere. Even Ding Xiaowu, looking at Mo Xi's eyes now, actually gave birth to a sense of fear that he didn't dare to look at directly.
Walking through the streets of Manhattan, it is as if it were a volcano that is ready to erupt at any moment.
