Chapter 371: Bridging the Lead
Odom hit a three-pointer, not to mention Ibaka, and even the Mavericks fans who were watching the game were stunned. The former all-around fighter hasn't put in any performance since he arrived in Dallas, and he didn't score anything from beyond the three-point line.
But just now, Odom actually put on a performance when Cardinal did not perform well to replace him. That guy's spirit is completely different from before. In the past, it was obvious that Odom was absent-minded on the field, but today, Odom played surprisingly seriously.
After the goal, Odom smiled happily at the stands and quickly returned to the defence. It was Odom's first smile in the U.S. Route Center arena. The all-round striker seemed to have regained his sense of the game.
After a defense, Westbrook broke through Yiyang and hit the basket by blocking and picking. At this time, Brandon. Haywood was stuck by Perkins and didn't have time to make up for it. With no one under the basket, it looked like Westbrook's goal was on the verge of winning.
However, just as Westbrook jumped high to dunk, Odom suddenly flashed from one side. Mike. Brin's eyes widened, what the hell is wrong with this guy?
Of course, Westbrook, who had already rushed to speed, Odom could not stop it. In the end, the referee still gave Odom a foul on the defender, and Westbrook got two free throws. But even for a foul, Odom's positivity was incredible.
If it were a normal day, Lamar would have watched Westbrook complete the layup. But today, he aggressively rushed back to the basket and used the foul to prevent the opponent from scoring. I don't know why Lamar's temperament suddenly changed, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with Yi's joining! "Mike. Brin's explanation was approved by most fans.
People all over the world know that the reason why Cuban wants to sign Yi Jianlian is because Odom's performance has not met expectations at all. Yi Jianlian's lightning signing with the team undoubtedly made Odom smell danger. So now, Odom desperately needs to show himself to earn consistent playing time.
People actually only guessed half right, and Yi Jianlian's arrival did make Odom a little nervous. But Kardashian's instigation is the main reason for his rejuvenating on the court.
In the following games, the Thunder still struggled. Nowitzki's super-inexplicable offense, like last season's Finals, has kept the Thunder on the back foot. And Yiyang's organization made the Mavericks bloom everywhere.
The Thunder, who were already passive, had a two-minute trough in the third quarter of the game, and during this time, the Mavericks seized the opportunity to directly widen the gap to 20 points.
This huge gap makes it difficult for the young Thunder to reverse. Until the end of the game, they were unable to overtake the score.
Six Mavericks scored in double figures, Nowitzki with 26 points, Yiyang with 27 points, 9 assists, and 3 steals and 2 blocks. His gorgeous statistics naturally allowed him to "steal" Nowitzki's title of the best game in the game.
Terry and Carter each scored 15 points, Marion scored 13 points, and Masimmi also "ate" 10 points of "pie". With such a performance of blooming everywhere, Thunder is naturally difficult to deal with.
I thought that after a summer of evolution, the Thunder could complete their revenge on the Mavericks. Unexpectedly, now he was killed by the Mavericks.
The Mavericks snapped a four-game winning streak to send the Oklahoma City Thunder back home. After the match, Yiyang and Nowitzki were naturally the ones who attracted the most attention. But Odom, who has been unattended, also surrounded by several reporters today.
"Lamar, what made you play so well in this game?"
"It doesn't matter what it is, the important thing is that I will be in good shape every day after that!" Odom smiled and answered the reporter's question, and the reporters were about to forget what Odom was like when he smiled.
I saw a reporter on the field interviewing Odom, Kohler. Kardashian can't say how happy she is at the moment. Slowly, Odom's exposure will pick up, and when the time comes, the green bills will roll in!
In 20 minutes of play, he had eight points, five rebounds and two assists, shooting 65 percent from the field. Odom's performance was nowhere near as impressive as last season's, but it was remarkable.
After being interviewed by reporters, Yiyang and his teammates dragged their tired bodies into the players' tunnel. After walking a few steps inside, Yiyang saw a woman with a bumpy figure rushing towards Odom.
Nowitzki and the others avoided this woman when they saw her, and walked silently with their heads down. Yiyang didn't know who this woman was, but Yiyang really couldn't appreciate her "rough" facial features.
"You played awesome today!" Without saying anything, the woman jumped to her feet and threw herself into Odom's arms. Odom didn't care if there was anyone around, and immediately posted it and had a French tongue kiss with the woman.
Yiyang shook his head secretly, even by American standards, Odom and this woman were too unrestrained.
"Hey, is this the Chinese teammate you often mention?" Just as Yiyang was about to walk past the two with her head down, the woman pointed to Yiyang's back and asked Odom.
There was only one Chinese in the entire player tunnel, and of course he knew that this woman was talking about herself. In politeness, Yiyang turned around and said hi to the woman in Odom's arms.
"This is Yi, he's been very popular lately. Hey also, this is my wife Kohler, Kohler. Kardashian. ”
After listening to Odom's introduction, Yiyang felt a little surprised. This woman who looks like she is scratching her head is actually Odom's wife! Yiyang thought that this woman was just Odom's lover.
"Hello, there aren't many yellow-skinned players in this league." Kohler. Kardashian took the initiative to come up and want to shake Yiyang's hand, and Yiyang also saw that this woman was looking herself up and down.
The two held hands lightly, and Kardashian seemed to smile with satisfaction.
"Hey, if it's okay, I'll go back first." Yiyang pointed to the locker room, then turned around and left.
"Haha, are Asians so shy?" Behind Yiyang, Kardashian's laughter came.
"He's like that, he doesn't like to talk. Hey baby, come home today, can you promise me ......"
After what Odom said, Yiyang had already filtered it automatically. He just wanted the guy who had managed to get a little better to save some strength in the evening, and tomorrow, they would have a back-to-back fight with the Suns.
After pushing open the door of the locker room, Yiyang found that everyone seemed to be talking about something. Terry saw Yiyang walk in and immediately leaned over.
"That woman just now, you must not have anything to do with him!"
"Huh?" Yiyang looked confused, wasn't that Odom's wife just now? How could he have anything to do with her.
"Well, let me tell you, none of the women of the Kardashian family are fuel-efficient lamps. If you want to have a smooth career, it's best to stay away from all the women named Kardashian! She didn't say anything to you just now, did she? Terry's expression was serious, as if he wasn't trying to make fun of himself.
"I didn't say anything, just said hello." Yiyang didn't take these things to heart, and usually Yiyang didn't pay attention to gossip news, so he didn't know much about the Kardashian family. If he knew what the Kardashian sisters did, Yiyang would definitely understand Terry's good intentions at this time.
"Well, that's good. There's a game tomorrow, so I'll go home and rest early. Shrinking season, damn ......," Terry said, getting up and leaving, and went into the shower to take a shower.
Yiyang didn't take Terry's words to heart, what the Kardashian family, it sounds like a mafia. Yiyang's mind is now full of back-to-back games, and other things can't be thought about at all.
Yiyang doesn't think about others, but others will take the initiative to think about him.
"Lamar, I think we can invite Yilai to our house for a meal." Outside the locker room, Kardashian and Odom are still entangled. Kardashian suddenly made a request that caught Odom off guard.
"Oh? Can you tell me why? ”
"You only had a rumor with him the other day that you didn't get along in the dressing room, and it really affected your chemistry on the pitch. Treat him to a meal and let all the journalists know that you have reconciled. In this way, it is good for you, both on and off the field. Moreover, we have never had dinner with Chinese! What do you think? Kardashian pressed the two balls on her chest tightly to Odom, and she knew Odom couldn't stand this.
"As long as you want, no problem." Sure enough, Odom obediently gave in.
"When the time comes, I'll call my sister again! She really wanted to get to know Yi, this is an opportunity! ”
"Your sister? Didn't your sister just get involved with the Nets? Odom wasn't surprised at all when he said this, for Khloe's sister was as diligent as changing her clothes when she changed her boyfriend.
"Hey, she's just regular friends with Humphries." Kohler. Kardashian's implication is that how can the commercial value of a mere Humphries be comparable to Yiyang?
Odom shook his head, when he was still with the Lakers, Kohler. Kardashian asked Odom to help him help his sister get Kobe Bryant. There is no doubt that Bryant rejected Odom's request. If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the two was really good, Kobe Bryant would even be furious because of it.
After hooking up with Kobe Bryant unsuccessfully, Kim. Kardashian has shifted her attention to the less well-known players. But now, with Odom's relationship, Kim. Kardashian seems to have seen Yiyang as her target again.
"Are you sure your sister likes his type of man?" Odom frowned, he didn't think he would hurt Yiyang, because he himself was trapped in the "mud" of the Kardashian family.
Actually, Odom was too worried. Is the type and skin color of men really a problem? What the Kardashian sisters value is just the exposure and commercial value behind the man......
"I don't know if she likes it or not, but we'll have to help her with that anyway."
"Okay, okay, damn it. I'll tell him when tomorrow's game is over! But I can't guarantee that the kid will promise me. ”
"I'm sure you can do it!" After that, Kohler. Kardashian pursed her lips......
