One Guard

Chapter 457: Young backcourt partner

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! This year, there is only one person in the Mavericks with a salary of more than 10 million, and this person is undoubtedly Nowitzki. The annual salary of 20.91 million is already the highest record in the team. Marion, who ranks second on the Mavericks salary list, is 8.65 million a year. The salary of Yiyang's rookie contract has made him ranked fourth in the team, below Kaman and above Mayo.

On the other hand, for the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe's salary alone is as high as 27.85 million. After him, Howard is 19.54 million and Gasol is 19 million. Yiyang's salary is placed on the Lakers, and he can't even make it to the top five.

In this game, due to Nowitzki's injury, Kobe's salary alone is more than the combined salary of the five Mavericks currently on the field. However, this huge gap in investment does not seem to allow the Lakers to receive the desired results.

In the basketball world, a championship is not guaranteed just because you are willing to spend money.

"With three minutes left in the game, the Lakers are 8 points behind the Mavericks. Dwight Howard's performance at the free throw line today is simply eye-popping! 3 for 14, God, I'm just looking for an amateur Players who stand up may be more accurate than him. Howard's terrible free throw percentage has given the Mavericks more opportunities to attack indirectly. This has directly led to the Lakers being passive now." Barkley looked at Sitting Howard, who was on the bench, felt a little gloating in his heart.

"The Lakers paid a lot of luxury taxes for the Super Four this summer, and their salaries totaled $100 million! What about the Mavericks? Everyone's jobs add up to just over 60 million. The extra 40 million that the Lakers handed over It doesn’t seem to make their team better!” Kenny Smith is also very disappointed with the performance of the Lakers, and I believe he and Barkley are definitely not the only fans who feel disappointed at this time.

Kobe has no time to analyze the salary structure of the two sides now. His only goal at this time is to fill the 8-point gap and win the game. Even without Howard, he has to do it!

Kobe personally controlled the ball and advanced, and Nash could only stand aside at this time. Facing Mayo's defense, Kobe did not hesitate, and started playing back directly from outside the three-point line!

Mayo couldn't withstand Kobe's impact at all. The bottom plate of the "Black Mamba" is too stable, so stable that people suspect that there is a layer of iron under the wooden floor of the Staples Center, and Kobe's shoes There is a magnet hidden in it.

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

After Kobe saw that the position was almost the same, he didn't continue to exert force, but suddenly shook his shoulders, and then turned over and shot a jumper!

Seeing this picture, all the Lakers fans raised their arms in advance. Bryant finishes the shot with picturesque form, and the angle of his layback looks so perfect.

Mayo couldn't match Kobe's jump shot. It's not Mayo's fault. There are very few people in the entire league who can prevent Kobe from turning over and falling back. The premise of Kobe not scoring is usually not because the opponent's defense is good, but because he has a bad hand.

Without Howard, without the pick-and-roll, and without the damn Princeton tactics, Kobe scored in the simplest and rudest way, and he stood up again in a crisis!

"This is Kobe Bryant! This great shooting guard is even above the tactics!" Mike Breen used all the compliments on Kobe. Compared with Howard, who made 3 of 14 free throws, Kobe seems more suitable to lead the Lakers.

After the goal, Kobe did not celebrate, but frowned tightly, urging his teammates to return to defense quickly.

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

Kobe just scored a goal.

It stands to reason that Yiyang should respond in this attack. But Yiyang didn't make a direct breakthrough. He stopped and started directing the game just as one foot stepped beyond the three-point line.

Yiyang called on his teammates to intersperse their positions, which undoubtedly tore the Lakers defense apart. In order to stay with Mayo, Kobe had to stay away from Yiyang. And after he stayed away from Yiyang, Nash didn't have much energy to "fight back".

Facing his old friend Nash, Yiyang actually didn't want to make the atmosphere so serious. But in the professional game, no one reads personal information. Yiyang also believes that if he is the one who is at a disadvantage now, Nash will not relent!

Nash opened his mouth and breathed heavily, he was already exhausted by Yiyang. This kid seems to be stronger than when he completed the training mission last summer. Where is Yiyang's upper limit? This is really a frightening thing to think about.

Once the "Son of the Wind" in Phoenix City tried his best, but was still passed by Yiyang's beautiful turn around. Kobe hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether he should leave Mayo to defend. But these few seconds of thinking time were enough for Yiyang to enter the penalty area and avoid Gasol's blocking to make a successful layup.

"Tsk!" Kobe curled his lips, seeing that Yiyang successfully continued to score, he didn't feel very good. Before this attack, Kobe and Nash whispered a few words. The purpose is simple, Kobe wants to defend Yiyang himself!

Following the Lakers' offense, Nash assisted Kobe to cut inside and make an easy layup. This is Nash's fourth assist today. Although the number is small, they are all beautiful.

Bryant scored consecutive points, the entire Staples fans stood up. This game has finally become exciting!

"Kobe has started scoring mode, the Mavericks must be careful. Although Dwight is lost, in a way, the Lakers' offense is even better!" Kenny Smith nodded approvingly. Without Howard, Kobe would be at home !

Everyone knows that the Lakers want to tie the score within a period of time, and offense alone is useless. Defense, they have to do the same.

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

Kobe stretched his arms across in front of Yiyang, completely refusing to give him any chance to break through. Yiyang himself also paused, he wanted to pass the ball, but his position to his teammates was not satisfactory. In desperation, Yiyang lobbed the ball to Kaman for a transition, and then continued to actively look for opportunities.

Kobe was like Yiyang's shadow, following him as he galloped across the court. Kaman held the ball for a long time, but was unable to pass it out.

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

Nash was dumbfounded. He has been in the NBA for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen someone who "steals" his teammate's basketball!

After Mayo got the basketball, he jumped up. When his body was gliding in the air, his wrist was also gently pressed.

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

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, the basketball fell into the net with dignity. Spalding's basketball, which fell gently, did not leave too much "spray" on the net.

Mayo's "stealing" goal allowed the Mavericks to further stabilize the point difference at 8 points!

"Coach Mike Brown must be very distressed now. Whoever Nash defends will become his cash machine. He has just left Yiyang, and he has already been targeted by Mayo. It seems that the problems of the Lakers are more serious than ours. More than you can imagine.”

The backcourt combination of Yiyang and Mayo began to emerge in front of the world, and Cuban enjoyed watching it in his own home. Maybe this unintentional signing will develop into a dense forest?

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

In the last minute and a half, the Lakers were dying. Kobe hit a forced three-pointer against Mayo, scaring Carlisle into a cold sweat. The Lakers have a historic player like Kobe, so they don't need to recruit other stars at all, they just need to supplement the strength of role players.

The practice of pursuing big names is not successful every time.

After Kobe scored this three-pointer, he has scored four consecutive shots. Mayo was abused by Kobe, but the interesting thing is that Mayo did not feel discouraged by it.

Even if Kobe has scored in various ways, in the next round, Mayo will actively participate in the offense like a normal person.

Yiyang didn't waste Mayo's active running, he sent the opportunity to Mayo with a very fast touch pass.

Facing Kobe who was chasing and defending him, Mayo was not afraid, but directly took off for a layup!

People don't know whether Mayo is too indifferent or too strong. He doesn't seem to be afraid of messing up everything, even in the face of Kobe.

After experiencing the silence in the second and third quarters, Mayo's re-emergence in the fourth quarter made the Lakers' hope of winning even more elusive.

The Lakers' subsequent offenses were all handled by Kobe. In the first game of the new season, although there was no problem with Kobe's physical fitness. But the Mavericks' strong defense began to make Kobe's shooting percentage begin to decline.

On the other hand, Yiyang and Mayo seem to be happy to share the ball with each other. With Yiyang's organization, Mayo's shot selection is also much more reasonable.

When the game was about to end with 20 seconds left, coach Mike Brown replaced Kobe, Nash and Gasol, three guys whose combined salaries exceeded $40 million. Of course, there is another big man with a salary of up to 19.58 million US dollars who has already "punched out of get off work".

108 to 98, the last 20 seconds, the Lakers are destined to swallow this humiliating defeat.

After Kobe finished and sat down, the on-site cameraman immediately gave a close-up of the "Black Mamba". The guy frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Howard was smiling, as if he had activities with boxing champion Wie Mayweather 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 luxurious city, everyone lives in a different way.

The loud electronic beeping sound made Kobe recover from the unwillingness of the loss. He stood up, ignored his teammates and reporters, and walked straight to the Mavericks bench.

Yiyang saw Kobe coming, and walked towards Kobe. The two met in the center of the technical platform and hugged each other.

"You played really well today." Kobe shook his head unwillingly. The first game of the Big Four of the Lakers was lost just like that, to two young players, Yiyang and Mayo. What a shame!

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

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

At this time, Kobe had to admit. Sometimes single-core, he is indeed the key to defeating multi-core is not the quantity, but the quality.

The two chatted for a few words and prepared to separate. Just as Yiyang turned around, he heard Kobe calling himself again.

"It's a pity that today we are not the ones celebrating the victory together." Kobe is still regretting that the Lakers missed Yiyang.

"Isn't this more interesting?" The corner of Yiyang's mouth twitched slightly, and then he threw himself into the arms of his teammates
