This year, there is only one person in the Mavericks team with a salary of more than 10 million, and this person is undoubtedly Nowitzki, whose annual salary of 20.91 million is already the highest on the team. Ranking second on the Mavericks' salary list is Marion, who is 8.65 million a year. Yiyang's salary on this rookie contract has already put him in fourth place on the team, below Carman and above Mayo.

On the other hand, the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant's salary alone is as high as 27.85 million. He was followed by Howard at 19.54 million and Gasol at 19 million. Yiyang's salary is placed on the Lakers, and he can't even get into the top five.

In this game, due to Nowitzki's injury, Kobe Bryant's salary alone is more than the combined salary of the five Mavericks currently on the floor. However, this huge gap in investment does not seem to have given the Lakers the results they deserve.

In the world of basketball, it's not just willing to spend money to smash a championship.

With three minutes left in the game, the Lakers are already eight points behind the Mavericks. Dwight. Howard's performance at the free-throw line today was nothing short of a shock! 3 out of 14, oh my God, I'm just looking for an amateur player to stand up, maybe better than him. Howard's terrible free-throw shooting percentage gave the Mavericks more offensive opportunities indirectly. And this directly leads to the Lakers being in a passive situation now. Barkley looked at Howard sitting on the bench, and there was some schadenfreude in his heart.

"The Lakers have paid a lot of luxury tax this summer for the Super Big Four roster, and their combined salaries are as high as $100 million! What about the Mavericks? All of them work together for just over 60 million. The extra $40 million that the Lakers handed over didn't seem to make their team any better! "Kenny. Smith is also very disappointed with the Lakers' performance, and I believe that he and Barkley are not the only fans who feel disappointed at this time.

Kobe Bryant doesn't have time to analyze the salary structure of the two sides right now, and his only goal at this time is to close the eight-point gap and win the game. Even without Howard, he had to do it!

Kobe Bryant personally controlled the ball and advanced, and Nash could only step aside at this time. In the face of O.J. Mayo's defense, Kobe Bryant did not hesitate and started to hit his back directly from outside the three-point line!

Mayo couldn't withstand Kobe's onslaught at all, and the "Black Mamba" was so stable that it made people suspect that there was a layer of iron under the wooden floor of the Staples Center, and Kobe Bryant's shoes were hiding magnets.

Mayo only felt a tightness in his chest, and he had already pushed Kobe Bryant to a 45° angle in the middle distance.

After Kobe Bryant saw that the position was about the same, he didn't continue to exert his strength, but suddenly shook his shoulders, and then directly turned over and jumped!

Seeing this picture, all the Lakers fans raised their arms in advance. Bryant finished the shot with a picturesque position, and the angle of his leaning back looked so perfect.

Mayo couldn't expect Kobe's jump shot, and he didn't blame Mayo, there were very few people in the entire league who could prevent Kobe from turning over and leaning back. The premise of Kobe Bryant's not scoring goals is usually not because the opponent's defense is good, but because he himself has a bad hand.

Without Howard, without pick-and-roll, without that damn Princeton tactic, Kobe Bryant scored in the simplest and most brutal way, and he stood up again in a moment of crisis!

"This is Kobe. Bryant! This great scoring guard even overrides tactics! "Mike. Brin used all the compliments on Kobe. Compared to Howard, who made 3-of-14 free throws, Kobe Bryant seems to be more suitable to lead the team with the Lakers.

After the goal, Kobe Bryant did not celebrate, but frowned tightly and urged his teammates around him to hurry back to defense.

Yiyang wanted to make a quick sneak attack, but when Kobe Bryant shouted like this, the Lakers players who hadn't reacted at the beginning filled the gap in an instant. Yiyang had no choice but to grind his position with peace of mind.

Kobe Bryant had just scored a goal, and it stands to reason that Yiyang should respond in this attack. But Yiyang didn't break through directly, and when one foot just stepped outside the three-point line, he stopped and began to direct the game.

Yiyang beckoned his teammates to intersperse the run, a move that undoubtedly tore the Lakers' defense apart. Kobe Bryant had to stay away from Yiyang in order to keep up with Mayo. And after he stayed away from Yiyang, Nash didn't have much power to "fight back" at all.

Facing his old friend Nash, Yiyang actually didn't want to make the atmosphere so serious. But in the professional game, no one is going to have a personal relationship. Yiyang also believes that if he is at a disadvantage now, Nash will not be soft either!

Nash opened his mouth and breathed heavily, he was exhausted from Yiyang's torture. This kid seems to be a little stronger than when he completed his training assignment last summer. Where is the upper limit of Yiyang? It's a scary thing to think about.

Once the "Son of the Wind" in Phoenix City tried his best, but he was still cleaned up by Yiyang's beautiful turn. Bryant hesitated, he didn't know if he should leave Mayo to make up for it. But a few seconds of thinking time were enough for Yiyang to enter the restricted area and then avoid Gasol's block and make a successful layup.

"Tsk!" Kobe Bryant pursed his lips, and it didn't feel good to see Yiyang successfully continue to score. Before this offense, Bryant and Nash whispered a few words. The purpose is very simple, Kobe Bryant wants to defend Yiyang in person!

Then the Lakers' offense, Nash assisted Kobe Bryant to cut inside and hit an easy layup. It was Nash's fourth assist of the day, and while it wasn't much, it was beautiful.

Bryant scored back-to-back points, and the entire Staples fans stood up. This game has finally become exciting!

"Kobe Bryant has turned on scoring mode, and the Mavericks must be careful. Despite the loss of Dwight, in some ways, the Lakers' offense is better! "Kenny. Smith nodded approvingly, without Howard, Kobe Bryant is like a fish in water!

It's clear to everyone that the Lakers want to equalize in a while, and it's useless to just attack. Defensively, they have to do the same.

So when the first game of the new season, the commentators and fans saw Kobe Bryant personally playing against Yiyang, and the excitement in their hearts was insurmountable!

Kobe Bryant stretched out his arms in front of Yiyang, not giving him any chance to break through at all. Yiyang himself paused, he wanted to pass the ball, but his teammates' positions were very unsatisfactory. In desperation, Yiyang hoisted the ball to Kaman for a transition, and then continued to actively look for opportunities.

Kobe Bryant is like the shadow of Yiyang, following him all over the court. Kaman held the ball for a long time, but was unable to pass it out.

At this time, O.J. Mayo suddenly jumped out! Without Kaman's knowledge, he "steals" the basketball in the hands of the German center!

Nash was dumbfounded, he had been in the NBA for so many years, but it was the first time he had seen someone who "stealed" his teammate's basketball!

When Mayo got his hands on the basketball, he jumped on the bandwagon, his wrists gently pressing as his body glided through the air.

"A big drift shot, can Mayo hit it!?"

As soon as Barkley's words fell, the basketball fell into the net with a lot of face, and the gently falling Spalding basketball did not leave too many "waves" on the net.

Mayo's "steal" goal allowed the Mavericks to further stabilize the margin at 8 points!

"Mike. Coach Brown must be quite distressed right now, and whoever Nash defends will be someone's ATM. He had just left Yiyang behind, and he was already targeted by Mayo. It seems that the Lakers have more problems than we imagined. ”

The backcourt combination of Yiyang and Mayo began to make their mark in front of the world, and Cuban was fascinated by it in his own home. Maybe this unintentional signing will develop into a dense forest?

The Lakers' defense failed again, and the 8-point margin remained. And half of the time has passed.

In the final minute and a half, the Lakers were dying. Kobe Bryant hit a forced three-point shot against Mayo, which scared Carlisle into a cold sweat. The Lakers have a historic player like Kobe Bryant, and they don't need to recruit other stars at all, they just need to complement the strength of role players.

The pursuit of big names is not always successful.

After Kobe Bryant scored this three-pointer, he has scored on four consecutive shots. Mayo was abused by Kobe Bryant, but interestingly, Mayo wasn't discouraged.

Even if Kobe Bryant has scored in various ways, in the next round, Mayo will actively participate in the offense like a nobody.

Yiyang didn't waste Mayo's aggressive run, and he sent the opportunity to Mayo with a very fast ground-hitting pass.

Facing Kobe Bryant, who was chasing him, Mayo was not afraid, but jumped directly to the basket!

People don't know if Mayo is too indifferent or too strong, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of messing everything up, even against Kobe.

After a quiet second and third quarters, Mayo's fourth-quarter resurgence made the Lakers' hopes of victory even slimmer.

Several subsequent offenses of the Lakers were handled by Kobe Bryant. In the first game of the new season, Kobe Bryant's physical fitness did not have any problems. But the Mavericks' strong defense began to make Kobe's shooting percentage begin to decline.

On the other hand, Yiyang and Mayo, the two seem to be happy to share the ball with each other. With Yiyang's organization, Mayo's shooting options are much more reasonable.

When the game was about to end with 20 seconds left, Mike. Coach Brown replaced Kobe Bryant, Nash and Gasol, three guys with combined salaries of more than $40 million. Of course, there is also a big man with a salary of up to $19.58 million who has already "clocked out and clocked out".

108-98, in the final 20 seconds, the Lakers were destined to swallow this humiliating loss.

After Kobe Bryant sat down on the court, the camera of the photographer on the scene immediately gave a close-up of the "Black Mamba". The guy frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Howard smiled as if he was still active with boxing champion Wisomeweather after the fight. As for the outcome of the game, it doesn't seem to affect Howard's mood.

One advocates victory, the other pursues happiness. Not every player's Los Angeles is the same...... In this drunken city, everyone lives differently.

The shouts of electronic beeps relieved Bryant from his reluctance to lose, and he stood up, ignoring his teammates and reporters, and instead walked straight to the Mavericks' bench.

Yiyang saw Kobe walking and walked over to Kobe. The two met in the center of the tech desk and hugged each other.

"You played really well today." Kobe Bryant shook his head unwillingly, the first game of the Lakers' Big Four was lost like this, losing to Yiyang and Mayo, two young people. Is..... Disgrace!

After Kobe finished speaking, he looked up at the big screen at the scene. The moment he saw Yiyang's data, Kobe Bryant was stunned.

34 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, shooting 65% from the field......

At this time, Kobe Bryant had to admit it. Sometimes single-core, he can really beat multi-core...... It's not about quantity, it's about quality.

The two chatted a few words, ready to disperse. Yiyang just turned around, but heard Kobe Bryant shouting to himself again.

"It's a pity that we weren't the ones to celebrate the victory together today." Kobe Bryant is still lamenting that the Lakers missed Yiyang.

"Wouldn't that be more interesting?" The corners of Yiyang's mouth curled slightly, and then he threw himself into the arms of his teammates......
