American Airlines Center Arena, full, this is the first preseason game of the Mavericks this year, although the Dallas Mavericks have not won the NBA's highest glory O'Brien Cup since its establishment, but as a perennial regular season with more than 50 wins, and this summer chose to continue to rely on Dirk Nowitzki, with a 4-year $80 million contract extension to leave the team soul Dirk Nowitzki, to ensure that the "German Chariot" before the summer of 2014 can lead the Cowboys to continue to charge, Continued to work hard to win the first championship trophy in history, and shortly before the extension of the Notian King, the Mavericks also gave center Brandon Hywood a six-year contract extension of more than $50 million, and then traded for center Tyson Chandler to consolidate the interior team that had been weak for many years.

The Wizards' John Wall was very excited, showing his momentum at the beginning of the game, the Mavericks' Caron Butler received a three-step layup from Kidd under the basket, John Wall was directly behind a chasing nail board hat, and the Wizards' Javier McGee grabbed the rebound.
The Wizards switched offense, John Wall ran to dodge Kidd's interception, received a pass from a teammate at the top of the right arc, and a three-point pull, the basketball hit the net bag, and hit a three-point shot.
Kidd dribbled the ball across the half court and hoisted the ball to Brandon Hywood under the basket, Haywood pushed McGee behind him, a feint shot, McGee was not fooled, Haywood was helpless, dribbled the ball and found an angle to lean directly on McGee's right hand and threw a small throw, snapped, McGee occupied the length of his hand and was directly a big hat covering the sky.
The Wizards are fast attacking, Wall is rushing with the ball, and after reaching the free throw area, it is a three-step layup, Kidd and DeSean Stevenson, who are quickly retreating, are both clamped up, but I didn't expect Wall to pull the basketball down high, a pass that doesn't look at people behind the ground, and McGee who followed behind him jumped high, like a bow and arrow with a full string, and the bang was a two-handed slam dunk, and the action was very beautiful.
"Oh, Javier McGee of the Wizards, what a beastly slam dunk and a 7-foot center with perverted athleticism. Of course, the performance of the champion John Wall was also very outstanding, the game started with a pegboard hat to Butler, followed by a chase three-pointer, and then just a back pass without looking at people, today's Wall looks very excited, and I think today's game will be very exciting. ”
Just after saying that John Wall was another steal, in front of Wall was a no-man's grassland, Wall was like a wild horse out of the slaughter, a 360-degree turn one-handed split, let's see what Wall is doing? After Wall dunked the basket, he hooked his finger at the Mavericks bench, haha, the camera cut to Lin Hao, before the game, Wall had released words to make Lin Hao look good, Lin Hao performed well in the summer league, especially in the game against the champion John Wall, the audience who watched that game will definitely remember it vividly, and I am more and more interested in the next game. ”
"Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle called a timeout, it seems that he is not very happy with the team's performance on the court just now, let's take a look at the Mavericks starters, point guard Kidd is 38 years old, power forward Dirk Nowitzki is 33 years old, small forward Carrow Butler is 33 years old, center Brandon Castlewood is 32 years old, and the youngest shooting guard DeSean Stevenson is 30 years old, I can't believe my eyes, isn't this a nursing home team?"
"As the league's oldest average age team, I don't know if the Mavericks' old bones have lazy their bones in the offseason... Another commentator in the live broadcast room also laughed and teased.

Head coach Rick Carlisle was talking, "This is our preseason debut, and it's our home court, you were beaten 7-0 by the Wizards at the beginning of the game, haven't you all woken up yet," Rick Carlisle said in an accentuated tone, "Even if it's just a preseason game, I don't want you to play like a twilight old man, no matter what others do, my goal has always been one, and that is the NBA championship, which has never changed." ”
"The timeout is over, and there are no changes on either team, but the Mavericks look a little weird, and it always feels like something is different."
The Mavericks had the ball, and Caron Butler, who had eaten Wall's pegboard hat in the opening game, was a big two-pointer in the face of the Wizards' Katier Martin's defense.
7 to 2.
The Mavericks quickly stepped back and didn't give the Wizards a chance to switch offense.
John Wall attacked with the ball and burst Kidd twice in a row, but it didn't work, Kidd is 38 years old this year, this is a respectable veteran, Kidd is very aggressive defensively, clinging to Wall, constantly interfering with his hands and trying to steal.
"Wall saw that he couldn't find a chance, and passed the ball to Nick Young on the left, and the next thing is very simple is to see if Nick Young can hit, Nick Young has a very distinctive characteristic, averaging only one assist in 50 minutes per game, 2 minutes more than 48 minutes in a single game, basically the ball is in his hands and don't think about passing it."
"Nick Young made several tentative moves in a row, but still didn't get rid of DeSean Stevenson's defense, and I don't know what kind of chicken soup for the soul of Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle poured into his players during the timeout, and it felt like the Mavericks' defense suddenly came up."
Nick Young glanced up, and it was almost 24 seconds, and in desperation, he reluctantly shot at the defense, and Brandon Hywood of the Mavericks jumped high to grab the rebound.
The Wizards are mostly young players and retreat very quickly, and the Mavericks did not find a fast offensive opportunity, so they had to continue to fall into positional warfare, but the Mavericks themselves are a team that is good at positional warfare.
Kidd passed the ball to Stevenson, Stevenson drew the defense and hoisted the ball to Nowitzki, who dribbled twice to Andre Blatche, and after turning around, he didn't hesitate to make a Golden Rooster independent step-back jumper, which also hit.
7-4, after the timeout, the Mavericks' offense improved slightly, and the Wizards returned a 4-0.
