Before the game began, LeBron. James never took his eyes off the championship pennant hanging from the dome of the Center Arena on American Airlines. If it weren't for his poor performance in the finals last season, this pennant might have belonged to Miami.

Averaging 17 points per game, last season's Finals were simply a stain on James' career. After a summer of training and roster running-in, James is ready to snatch the O'Brien Cup back in the new season!

So, the strong "humanoid tank" withdrew its gaze, and its eyes fell on the five players wearing white Mavericks jerseys opposite.

Today, it is bound to let you know the burning fury of the Big Three after they became angry! Snatch back the O'Brien Cup, starting with Dallas, which led to their defeat!

In terms of starters, the Heat still used last season's lineup. The Big Three naturally continued to play, with the center and point guard still led by Joe. Anthony and Chalmers served.

On the Mavericks' side, Yiyang, Nowitzki and Marion couldn't play the starting positions. Carter, a new signing, replaced Stevenson as the starting No. 2, while the returning Brandon Brownon was the starting No. 2 position. Heywood became the patron saint of the Dallas exclusion zone.

It doesn't seem like the Mavericks' roster has gotten much weaker. Although Haywood is not as good as Chandler overall, his low-post defense and blocking ability are also quite good. The fans watching the home game shouted wildly, expecting the Mavericks to press the Big Three to the ground again.

The first goal of the opening game, LeBron. James just silenced the Mavericks fans watching the game at home.

Joe. After Anthony fought for the Heat to get the first offense, James reached for the ball and then ran all the way to the Mavericks halfcourt. In the face of Marion's defense, James used a simple change of direction to break through and enter the penalty area.

After losing Stevenson, a defensive stronghold that was enough to limit James, the 33-year-old Marion struggled to withstand James' full onslaught.

Although only one season has passed, most competitive sports athletes are likely to show a large decline in their competitive form with each year of age after the age of 30. Now Marion has experienced his last peak and entered the withering period. It's hard for him to compete with James again, even if the Heat's No. 6 was his own loser.

James leaned on Marion to get into the box, but Mavericks fans didn't seem to panic. In the penalty area, there is also Brandon. Heywood, an athletic defensive center, is crouching!

However, perhaps Mavericks fans are too confident in Haywood. Or maybe they downplayed the importance of Chandler in the Mavericks.

Although Chandler's average of 10.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game last season was not very impressive, the defensive efficiency of the "King of Fighters" ranked first on the team, and in this offensive-oriented Mavericks team, Chandler was their best barrier on the defensive end, and his excellent rebounding ability was also a guarantee that the Mavericks' outside shooters dared to shoot a lot in the game. Even Nowitzki, the team's boss, once praised: "Chandler is the MVP of this team." ”

Now it's just a Brandon. Heywood simply couldn't fill the void left by Chandler's departure.

I saw James force the frame directly against Heywood after pushing Marion, although Heywood tried his best to block, but he was still 108,000 miles away from completing the block.

In the air, Heywood couldn't make James completely unbalanced, but it was James's huge impact that made Heywood a little overwhelmed.

The two collided violently, and then the referee blew his whistle. At the moment when the whistle stopped, the basketball thrown by James hollowed into the net.

"Haha! Well done! On the commentary stage, O'Neill waved his arms excitedly. And the Mavericks fans in the stands are holding their heads in pain one by one.

As soon as the vengeful James came up, he got a chance to hit three points!

At the free throw line, James took two big breaths to calm his breath. Then, the "Little Emperor" hit a free throw. As soon as the game opened, LeBron gave the Mavericks a dismissal.

Although trailing by three points from the start, the Mavericks fans quickly regrouped to cheer on. It's time for the Mavericks to attack next, and they all want to see how strong Yiyang has become after a summer of training.

In the face of Chalmers' defense, Yiyang did not feel much pressure. As soon as he stepped on his toes to the three-point line, he hoisted the ball directly into the box and hit Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's supernatural performance against Bosh during last season's Finals is still fresh in the minds of fans. So as soon as Dirk held the ball, not only the fans, but even Bosh felt his heart beat faster.

Nowitzki leaned on Bosh and pushed back two steps, looking like he was going to play alone. However, after successfully pinning down the defence, Nowitzki played the ball to the left corner. There, Yiyang was already with his hands outstretched, ready to catch the ball!

Chalmers knew that Yiyang was not a guard who was good at shooting three-pointers, and he didn't step forward directly to press, but let Yiyang take two steps and spread his arms, intending to limit Yiyang's breakthrough.

However, after receiving the basketball, Yiyang directly pulled it up and threw it, without the slightest hesitation. This kind of decisiveness and confidence when getting open three-pointers has only been seen in Chalmers before. But Yiyang, he has nothing to do with the word "shooter" at all!

Young trainer Chris Brown watching the match live. Brickley smiled, this season, you'd better not give Yiyang too much space outside the three-point line. Otherwise, there will be a terrible price.

"Brush!" The basketball accurately entered the net, setting off a "white wave". After Yiyang scored, he raised his arm and gestured three fingers. Chalmers looked confused, why did this goal go in?

"Hahaha, do you see Shaq! This year, it's even stronger than last season! The three-point shot is now a conventional weapon for him! Barkley laughed excitedly, and in his opinion, the Mavericks now have the strength to continue to compete with the Heat.

Although at the beginning, James and Yiyang both made a tough statement that they did not want to give up the victory. But basketball is always a 48-minute game, and whether a team can maintain a good momentum is the key to victory.

After Yiyang went off the court, Terry and Odom, the high-profile "strongest bench combination", made their debut. Originally, everyone was full of anticipation for the bench firepower led by these two guys. But after coming on the court, the bench scored more advantageously, but it became the Heat.

The bench players on the Heat's side did not have outstanding individual ability, but they worked closely together and scattered attack points, so that the Mavericks could not grasp the defensive center of gravity at all.

James. Jones had just hit a three-pointer, and in the next round, Norris. Kerr caught the Mavericks off guard with another beautiful breakaway.

And Terry and Odom, the two major attack points, fell into a state of fighting alone. Terry doesn't like to pass the ball to Odom, and Odom seems to be out of step with the Mavericks' system.

In the first three shots, Odom's shots were all off target. Without Odom's containment, it would be difficult for Terry, who was heavily guarded and unable to get shooting space, to make a difference.

As for the aging Kidd, it is no longer possible for him to use his scoring ability to forcibly drag the team forward.

Originally, when Yiyang and Nowitzki were on the court, the Mavericks were not too passive on the court. Once Yiyang and Nowitzki left the court, the Heat were in complete control of the situation.

In the following games, Odom's performance continued to decline. Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, this guy has also "watched" the opposing player successfully attack the frame several times.

"What the hell is he doing!? Didn't Lamar know that the regular season had been rekindled? Even Barkley, who has always supported the Mavericks, can't stand Odom's performance.

And without Chandler's protection, James and Wade have frequently broken through. The impact of the two superstars is the first time that Yiyang feels so terrifying. Now Carlisle and Mavericks fans must miss Chandler so much, and if that guy were still around, James and Wade wouldn't have been able to storm the basket so recklessly.

Yiyang's wonderful passes and independent scores again and again failed to suppress the firepower of the Big Three. Nowitzki's accurate shooting also failed to allow the Mavericks to regain control of the game.

In the third quarter, James, Wade and Battier opened fire collectively from outside the three-point line. Unfortunately, these three guys were able to shoot the ball today.

A rain of three-pointers on 5-of-7 shooting seemed to extinguish the fierce battle in the center arena of the American airline. With a 13-point deficit, the Mavericks entered the final quarter of the showdown.

At the decisive moment, Yiyang hit two three-pointers in a row outside the three-point line. But apart from Nowitzki, Yiyang has no players around him who can step up and help the team break the deadlock.

Terry was completely pinned down, and Odom was sleepwalking. Marion simply can't match James, and Carter, who is past his prime, can't play a game-turning performance on the offensive end.

In the final 20 seconds of the game, when James broke through the box again and hit another three-pointer on Haywood, the Mavericks were already eight points behind the Heat. At this time, Carlisle only had one timeout left in his hand, and the defeat of the opening game was a foregone conclusion!

Although Yiyang made Wade foul with a beautiful breakthrough and scored a three-pointer to help the Mavericks close the gap, there was not much time left. In the end, the Mavericks still swallowed the defeat 99-104. The Heat successfully got revenge with an exaggerated 57% three-point shooting rate and a super high finishing rate under the basket!

After the match, James hammered his chest with a hideous expression. Wade was so excited that he jumped high and threw punches in the air. The revenge of losing the championship, they finally got revenge!

Yiyang, who scored 28 points and 9 assists, and shot 5 of 7 three-pointers, could only stand helplessly in the center of the court and shook his head. Although his stats are beautiful, he did play better than last season. But without victory, what's the point of personal data being beautiful?

lost the opening game, and at the subsequent press conference, the reporters naturally asked Yiyang a lot of sharp questions.

Yiyang, who was expressionless, didn't intend to complain in front of the media, he just told everyone. "Bad times will pass."

After the game, he shot only 1 of 7 from the field, and only scored 2 points and 1 rebound in 23 minutes of play, which surprised everyone, but he took the lead in changing clothes and leaving the locker room alone, and it is said that he has a date with a woman tonight. Defeat or victory didn't seem to matter to him at all.

Seeing this scene, even Yiyang felt very angry. It's just that he controlled his fists and told himself in his heart: "Everything will be fine, everything will be fine......

December 26, the day after the start of the new NBA season. The Mavericks will have to play back-to-back games against the Denver Nuggets at home. This year's shortened season is so intense that back-to-backs will be the norm for the players. But Yiyang is not rejected, he is very excited, hoping to win the first victory for the team in today's game.

However, the day after the start of the regular season, Odom was late for training. When he came to the training ground, this guy even smelled of alcohol. Needless to say, I also know that I must have played big in a nightclub yesterday.

Although Carlisle fined Odom $5,000 and criticized him in accordance with the team's rules, it did not save Odom from a disastrous performance in the game that followed.

In the eyes of some people, basketball is life, while in the eyes of others, basketball is just a playmate when they are bored. Odom, apparently falls into the latter category.

"Lamar. Odom received a wonderful pass from Yi, and he got an open three-point shot! If this ball goes in, the Mavericks, who are struggling in the mire, will overtake the score! Barkley clenched his fists, but as soon as Odom made a move, he knew it was a no-brainer!

The man who was second only to Yiyang in the Sixth Man of the Year list last year threw the ball softly. THE BASKETBALL WAS A CUT SHORT, GRAZING THE FRONT OF THE BASKET AND FALLING DIRECTLY INTO THE HANDS OF NENE, THE NUGGETS' BRAZILIAN CENTER.

Subsequently, the Brazilian made a long pass from the back to assist Thai, who had already started. Lawson scored quickly. Yiyang gritted his teeth, but still didn't let the fire out. If the shot misses, Yiyang can understand. But a surprise shot in the face of a big vacancy, Yiyang was angry.

Odom is not only irresponsible for himself, but also completely irresponsible for the team. This is his 9th missed shot today. So far in the game, Odom has only hit one goal out of 10 shots. The goal he scored was still an empty basket when he received a wonderful pass from Yiyang under the basket. The rest of the shots, without exception, were all iron.

Originally, the Mavericks and the Nuggets were inseparable, but Odom's ability to squander opportunities gave the Nuggets a chance to pull away the score.

In the end, the Nuggets narrowly defeated the defending champion Mavericks 115-112 on the road with Odom's "excellent" performance. After the game, Barkley even bluntly said that the best player of the game should be awarded to Odom. Without this "best sixth man", the Nuggets simply couldn't win!

After two consecutive defeats, everything seems to be very different from what was expected after the start of the new season. As soon as the beautiful Dallas Mavericks came up, they fell directly into the trough.

After the game, Yiyang did not accept any interviews from reporters, and even Mougin's question Yiyang did not answer. The young Dallas No. 1 walked straight back to the locker room with a grim face, looking in a terrible mood.

In Game 3 of the regular season, the Mavericks are about to face the more mature Oklahoma City Thunder on the road. There is no doubt that this will be another tough opponent.

"I believe that if the Mavericks continue in this state, it will not be a problem to win three in a row!" After the game, O'Neill has even made a prediction about the outcome of the next match.

After returning to the locker room, Yiyang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he smashed his fist on Odom's cabinet, denting the locker that originally belonged to Barria.

Fortunately, Odom has not returned to the locker room at this time, otherwise a locker room scandal would have erupted.
