One Guard

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! The new season is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the Mavericks training camp is getting more and more tense. Everyone has recovered from the leisure state of the holidays and is ready for battle at any time.

In the past few days, the practice effect of the players on the training ground has become better and better, even exceeding Carlisle's expectations. After a summer, Yiyang didn't have time to be busy "spreading dog food" with Vignali everywhere. This kid has improved even more than last season. His stability outside the three-point line has continued to rise, and his offensive methods after breakthroughs have also become more abundant.

What surprised Carlisle the most was Nowitzki, the "German Chariot" who averaged only 17 points and 5 rebounds per game last season, creating the lowest data value in his 12 seasons. But in the training camp this season, Dirk showed some "rejuvenation" momentum.

Nowitzki's condition looks even better than last season. It seems that he, who just got married in July, has not been overwhelmed by a strong sense of happiness.

The team's state is gradually on the right track. Carlisle dare not say that the Mavericks can compete for the championship this season. But their strength is definitely much stronger than what they see on paper.

In this way, fans and players on both sides are looking forward to the first game of the regular season. The whole world wants to see what the Lakers F4 can do, and some people are full of curiosity about an almost new Mavericks team.

However, just three days before the start of the new season, an unexpected incident changed the fate of the Mavericks.

Nowitzki felt some discomfort in his knee during training three days before the start of the game. After going down for an examination, the doctor discovered that the injuries accumulated over the years had overwhelmed Nowitzki's knee.

The knee is undoubtedly an extremely important part for professional athletes. If you can't move a knife in this place, try not to move it. Therefore, Nowitzki has never had surgery on his knee for so many years.

However, the doctor said frankly that if Nowitzki does not undergo surgery now and continues to let it develop like this, his career life will definitely be greatly shortened. As you get older, your legs and feet may also become less agile.

This ultimately led Nowitzki to decide to undergo knee surgery to clean up the scars he had left on his knee over the years. At the same time, the Mavericks officially announced when Nowitzki will leave the team. 6-8 weeks, the new season has not yet started, Nowitzki has already determined to miss a lot of games!

The 34-year-old Nowitzki has worked hard in the NBA for 14 seasons, and in his career, he has never missed more than 9 games in a single season. Now suddenly there is a 6-8 week injury, no one knows whether the Mavericks can hold on.

"It's fucking unlucky, why now!?" After learning from the team doctor that Nowitzki will be absent for 6-8 weeks, Cuban hugged his head in pain.

Originally, Cuban wanted to form a Big Four lineup this summer, but now it's good, Yiyang is the only star left in the team. Add O.J. Mayo, at most one and a half.

"This is not something we can control. Dirk's treatment now is also beneficial to his future development. You don't want to see Dirk have to retire early due to injuries in a few years." Nelson Jr. in the office Nei comforted Carlisle, it was really shocking for such a thing to happen. But there is no way, the new season is getting closer and closer, even if only Yiyang is left, the Mavericks still have to play!

It is precisely because of this injury that the atmosphere in the Mavericks locker room instantly became a lot more depressed. Although Dirk is no longer the super forward who played the Big Three and couldn't find the North the year before last, without him, the Mavericks are bound to be greatly affected.

In addition to the internal pressure of the Mavericks, the outside world will naturally put pressure on Yiyang and the others. Some media even joked that this opening game is completely an exhibition game prepared by the league to promote the Lakers. Even if Yiyang is strong, facing the Lakers F4, the Mavericks can only be beaten.

The whole team is preparing for the game under great pressure, and the team atmosphere is as tense as a high school class. On October 30, the Mavericks were pushed to the Staples Center despite the loss of Nowitzki. In the eyes of many fans, the Mavericks are completely tied to the guillotine, with no choice but death.

But Kobe didn't think so, he was too aware of that guy Yiyang's strength! "Black Mamba" still hasn't forgotten how he was swept out by the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals the year before last!

Since it is the first game of the new season, the Staples Center has specially prepared a player introduction ceremony for fans today. The purpose is to let the Lakers' F4 combination have a shining way of debut.

As the visiting team, when the on-site DJ introduced the starting players of the Mavericks, his tone was as flat as a college teacher who was doing roll call. When everyone else came out, the Staples Center didn't respond. It seemed that the Mavericks players were the air.

However, when Yiyang's name was called out by the live DJ, the entire Staples Center was shaken by violent boos!

"Hahaha, it seems that they are not very popular in Los Angeles. The year before last, the Mavericks eliminated the Lakers. Last season, they ruthlessly swept the Los Angeles Clippers here. And this summer, they also rejected the Lakers. If Los Angeles fans were asked to choose the NBA star they hate the most, Yi’s name would definitely be included.” Seeing this scene, Mike Breen on the commentary stage couldn’t help but smile. Fans in Los Angeles, they are very vengeful.

Afterwards, the live DJ solemnly called out the names of the Big Four of the Lakers one by one with a passionate voice. With every player on the court, flames erupted from the hoops at Staples Center. Before the game started, the atmosphere on the scene had already been pushed to the first climax by the four stars of the Lakers.

"It's unbelievable. A few months ago, who would have thought that the Los Angeles Lakers would be like this. Nash, Gasol, Dwight and Kobe, God, this lineup even in NBA2K game, I can't Imagine!"

"Speaking of NBA2K games, NBA2K13 endorsed by You Yi, Durant and Ross will also be released soon. Let's see, can Yi Yang, the cover spokesperson, take on the heavy responsibility without Dirk?"

The atmosphere of the game has spread in every crevice of the arena, and the fans of the Lakers stood up one after another, ready to witness the first step of the great massacre of the Lakers.

"Look at the crazy atmosphere at Staples, I told you you should come here." Before the game started, Kobe hugged Yiyang as always. The banner of the Lakers is still regrettable, and it is a pity that Yiyang did not agree to his invitation.

Although it may not be good to say this, Nash is indeed the backup choice for the Lakers after Yiyang.

"Thank you for your kindness, Bryant, but I am not interested in your super team. Of course, if you are willing to come to Dallas, I am very welcome."

"After the Heat won the championship, do you still believe that this is an era where a single-core team can win? If I remember correctly, you and I were eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals last year. This is the reality, Also." After Kobe and Yiyang finished hugging, their expression also became serious. "Today, we will prove it to you."

"I will do my best." Yiyang turned around and walked towards his side. If a basketball game can be won or lost just by looking at the lineup on paper, then what's the point of this sport?

This guy Howard jumped into the middle circle, and he was very excited to play as a Lakers player for the first time. Seeing Howard standing on the court wearing a Lakers jersey, the mood of the Lakers fans can not be described as crying with joy.

This is a great center who has just won the best defensive player, blocked shots, and rebounds in the past few years. After O'Neal, he is another great center with brutal dominance! With the addition of Howard, the post-Kobe era of the Lakers can also make a perfect transition!

Therefore, in the scrimmage session, the "floor flow" Kaman naturally couldn't match Howard. Howard leaped hard and patted the ball into Nash's hand by half a palm ahead of Kaman.

The fans of the Lakers cheered loudly, and the "Operation Cow Slaughter" officially began!

Nash was not in a hurry after getting the ball. His calmness seemed very, very incompatible with the passionate fans. Having trained with Yiyang in Brickley's training camp last summer, he knows very well that if you are not stable and play slowly against a guy like Yiyang, you will definitely suffer!

Although Yiyang has a good personal relationship with Nash, he is also merciless on the court. As soon as Nash passed halftime, he was entangled by Yiyang.

"Steve seemed to be struggling under Yi's defense, and he seemed to be struggling to get rid of the entanglement. Kobe stepped forward to respond, and Steve made the ball."

After Kobe received the basketball, he reached out and called Howard to pick and roll for him. It's not that Howard didn't do pick-and-rolls in the Magic in his early years, but usually, the ball will return to him after the pick-and-roll. But in the Lakers, playing under Kobe, "Warcraft" doesn't get such treatment every time.

After the pick-and-roll, Howard was cutting inside for the ball, but Kobe shot a fadeaway jumper from the mid-range position without any rules!

Howard rushed to the basket, hoping to pick off the offensive rebound. However, this extremely difficult shot went straight into the net!

"Kobe's personal ability is still very strong, and the pick-and-roll between him and Howard is brilliant!" What Mike Breen didn't know was that Howard himself was ignorant of this goal. During training, the ball will be returned to him, but why did Kobe shoot it directly in the official game?

As soon as he played, Kobe scored a goal. Judging from the defense just now, the Mavericks are indeed helpless against the Lakers.

"Brand, let's serve!" The former All-Star forward Elton Brand, who replaced Nowitzki, was a little dazed. He just experienced a feeling of powerlessness. But Yiyang's shout brought him back to the game.

After recovering, Brand sent the baseline ball. With the overwhelming boos from the Lakers fans, Yiyang attacked the basket guarded by F4.

Nash's defense has always been a problem, so today, Bryant pays special attention to Nash's back. Once Yiyang breaks through, he will immediately switch to face Yiyang.

Yiyang held the ball and stopped outside the three-point line. He raised his hand and shouted, urging his teammates to run actively. It seems that there is a bit of Kidd's shadow.

Yiyang handed the ball to Kaman who mentioned the high position, while he ran without the ball to find the gap.

Dallas One circled around and began to run towards Kaman again. It seemed that he wanted to hand in hand with Kaman.

However, just when Yiyang was about to take over the basketball from Kaman, he suddenly ran back, threw away Nash, and cut to the basket. During Kaman's time in the training camp, he and Yiyang also cultivated some tacit understanding. He made a pass knowingly, allowing Yiyang who cut to the basket to receive the basketball!

Kobe was busy turning around to catch up, but Yiyang turned his head to look beyond the three-point line in the middle of the run, and made a motion of passing the ball outward.

"O.J. Mayo!" Kobe Bryant's mind immediately flashed the name, although the kid Mayo has not been happy in recent seasons. But this does not mean that I can completely let him go.

Kobe was still secretly complacent that he had seen through Yiyang's intentions, so he stopped chasing and defending. Just as he reached out to steal the ball, Yiyang turned his gaze back to the front, turned the pass upwards, and fought against the opponent in the air. In the case of physical confrontation, Gasol scored the ball softly!

"Good shot! Haha, once again used his iconic fake fax to fool the Lakers defense and scored the Mavericks' first point of the season! It is worth mentioning that the fake fax used to be Steve Nash's trump card, but now, Nash's team has been defeated in a familiar way." Mike Brin smiled excitedly, the confrontation between the top players was really good!

At the end of the first round, the two sides refused to give in to each other. The Lakers have more stars, and Yiyang also has his own way of winning.

As it turns out, the Mavericks aren't defenseless at Staples. It is not impossible for Yiyang to face the defensive net woven by Nash, Kobe, Howard and Gasol.

Carlisle hurriedly yelled on the sidelines, urging the players not to celebrate and to return to defense.

Want to win, the Mavericks are serious!
