In the last quarter, both teams played fringe players and started to compete with each other.
The Lakers' rookie was slightly better. The final score was 130 to 70. The Lakers beat the Clippers by 60 points.
As soon as the game ended, the Clippers players and coaches left the field quickly, not wanting to stay at the scene for a moment longer.
In terms of statistics, Maggette of the Clippers scored 19 points, Tracy McGrady scored 14 points on 6 of 20 shots, Kaman scored 12 points, and everyone else was in single digits.
For the Lakers, Kobe made 8 of 16 shots and scored 20 points with free throws, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Zhang Zhiyuan made 9 of 15 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists including free throws.
Although he scored more points than Kobe, Kobe couldn't be dissatisfied.
15 shots were taken, which was 8 times less than the agreed 23 times. Zhang Zhiyuan's move was already quite kind.
Kobe can only blame the Clippers for not living up to expectations and not being able to hold on for a little longer.
Hayes played 30 minutes today, made 11 of 17 shots, and scored 22 points, significantly breaking his own single-game scoring record.
Originally, he came to the Lakers as an addition, and the Lakers management did not expect him to play much role.
However, judging from Hayes' performance this season, 4 million a year is not a bad loss.
Odom made 7 of 14 shots and scored 16 points, Bynum had 8 points, and Fisher had 9 points. The other players who played all scored, and everyone was happy.
At the post-game press conference, Dunleavy almost got angry when faced with reporters' questions.
Dunleavy really wanted to say, what does the Clippers' defeat have to do with me, Dunleavy?
The boss dunks, the manager is blind, the players are useless, but I am not guilty.
"Tracy, do you think you're still one of the best players in the league?"
the reporter asked.
"Of course, I have just recovered from the injury and have not yet regained my form. When I regain my form, I will still be one of the best players.
one."
Even though his scoring average has dropped to 15 points per game and his shooting percentage has dropped below 40%, he can still insist that he is the best without changing his face.
"But you only have 15 points now. Is it because you don't have the ball?"
Reporters continue to work on things and find news.
McGrady can't answer this question. If he admits it, he will offend the coach. If he doesn't admit it, he can't explain the low score.
"What are your goals for this season, what are your goals for next season, and are you worried that you will never win a championship?"
At the end of the question, McGrady almost went berserk. He wanted to remind the other party that he had a championship.
Although this championship is not very glorious, at least there is a championship.
After the Clippers, the Lakers attended.
Both Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant showed up, which made reporters grit their teeth.
It's really disgusting to show up when you win and hide when you lose.
Originally, it was just Zhang Zhiyuan who liked to use this trick, but now Kobe has been led as well.
"Zhang, what happened to the previous three consecutive defeats? Judging from today's performance, you are obviously very strong."
the reporter asked.
"According to what you said, if you are strong you can't lose? Then why should we fight? Just let the league award the trophy to us directly."
Zhang Zhiyuan complained.
"There are reports that there was a conflict between you and Kobe. Has the conflict been resolved now?"
Reporters continued to dig.
"It's news from ESPN, it's all fake news."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"I protest, Zhang, you are slandering me."
An ESPN reporter stood up, and then the topic of the press conference went off track.
In the end, Jackson couldn't stand it anymore and said, "No matter how strong a team is, it will lose sometimes. Don't make random guesses when it loses. Yesterday, the Celtics lost. Was it Kyle?"
Did the three giants of Teren also have conflicts?"
"Our team has no conflicts, we are still at the top of the league, we have no problems..."
Jackson concluded.
A victory shattered the rumors, and many fans no longer doubted the relationship between Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant.
Even if some fans still doubt it, they have no evidence unless the Lakers lose more games and then Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan have arguments and conflicts during the game.
Will the Lakers lose more games?
It's hard for fans to guess.
After all, the Lakers could lose to the Kings and Bulls before.
On the 12th, the Lakers defeated the Bobcats again 122-101, sweeping the Bobcats this season.
On the 14th, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 119-100, completing a sweep of the Warriors.
The Lakers' record this season is so good that many teams have never beaten them once.
The Eastern Conference teams are better, only needing to lose twice.
The Warriors, Clippers, Kings, and Suns are in dire straits. They are in the same division as the Lakers and have to play four games a season.
On the 16th, the Lakers continued to win, reaching 59 games, shocking the league.
You know, some seasons the entire league can't find a team that reaches 59 wins, and 59 wins in a single season is not easy at all.
There are still 16 games left for the Lakers.
If this trend continues, there is still hope for hitting 73 wins.
Except for the Lakers, no club wants to see them win 73 games. Every team hopes to snipe the Lakers.
On the 19th, the Clippers played against the Mavericks away from home.
Although no one keeps statistics, there are very many people supporting the Mavericks to win this game.
Dallas, players take the field.
As soon as the Lakers players showed up, the home fans booed all kinds of things, and the boos towards Zhang Zhiyuan were particularly intense.
Mavericks fans all know in their hearts that it is impossible for them to get Zhang Zhiyuan and become one of their own.
"The Lakers have become the public enemy of the league."
Smith laughed.
"It's normal. No one likes such a powerful opponent."
Buckley said.
"Then do you think the Mavericks have any hope of sniping the Lakers in this game?"
Smith asked.
"It depends on the relationship between Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan."
Barkley said bluntly, and Smith laughed.
Although the Lakers Public Relations Department does not admit that Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan have conflicts, many fans do not believe this.
On the court, both sides have completed their warm-up.
On the Lakers side are Fisher, Kobe, Zhang Zhiyuan, Hayes and Bynum.
Odom has been completely reduced to a substitute.
It was obvious that Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan had a conflict, but it was Odom who was injured in the end.
Odom has no fucks to say about it.
The Mavericks are Kidd, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Dampier.
Compared with last season, the Mavericks' record has declined significantly.
Facing the increasingly fierce competition in the Western Conference, the Mavericks made changes some time ago and completed a big deal with the Nets.
The Mavericks sent Devin Harris, Diop, Trenton Hassell, Keith Van Horn, Maurice Agger, two draft rights, and some cash to the Nets in exchange for Jason Kidd and Malik Allen.
and Wright.
In this deal, the core are Kidd and Harris, and the others are unimportant additions, just for salary balance.
Among them, Keith Van Horn had retired in 2006 and stopped playing basketball. In order to balance the salary, the Mavericks gave Van Horn a two-year contract with a salary of more than 4 million.
After Van Horn arrived with the Nets, he didn't play a single game, and didn't even have to participate in team training. His salary was in vain, and he was the biggest winner in this deal.
After acquiring Kidd, the Mavericks' paper lineup seems to be much stronger.
Kidd, the best point guard ever, led the team to the Finals alone, had 5 assists titles, five All-NBA teams, and 9 All-Defensive teams...
Just looking at this honor, he is truly a superstar.
However, after trading for Kidd, the Mavericks' record did not improve significantly.
But it doesn't matter. What the Mavericks value is Kidd's stability in the playoffs. They have no pressure to enter the playoffs in the regular season, but they are afraid of being unstable in the playoffs and being overturned.
Last season, 67 wins were hacked, and Mavericks fans still haven't let go.
When the game started, Bynum gave the ball to his side.
Dampier, who claims to be the league's second center, can no longer jump.
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe was not polite at all against Stackhouse. He directly hit the ball in singles and humiliated this old rival again.
Before Kobe entered the league, Stackhouse, who was already a first-year rookie, had a duel with Kobe and lost.
The two have been fighting each other for 13 years and are an out-and-out old rival.
Looking at Kobe's retreating figure, Stackhouse could only grit his teeth and sigh.
I couldn't beat him at my peak, and now I'm even more hopeless.
In transition between offense and defense, Kidd controls the ball and advances.
Last season the Mavericks played at a fast pace, but this season they have regressed and played at a slower pace.
Judging from their record, they obviously took the wrong path.
After halftime, Kidd dealt the cards online.
Nowitzki faced Hayes after receiving the ball, and the Golden Rooster was independent.
This is a move he has just developed. He is not very proficient yet, but he has already begun to show his talents.
Hayes couldn't cover him at all and could only stare.
The ball didn't go in, Nowitzki still needs to practice more.
Lakers offense.
Zhang Zhiyuan faced off against Josh Howard.
Howard has a long wingspan and fast speed. He is the type that Zhang Zhiyuan hates.
However, that was in the past.
Now that Zhang Zhiyuan has two attribute chains in hand, he not only reminds himself greatly, but also weakens his opponents.
Even against Josh Howard, Zhang Zhiyuan has a huge advantage.
In a one-on-one challenge against Josh Howard, Zhang Zhiyuan has at least a 60% success rate.
But he still chose to cooperate with his teammates. Bynum stepped up to help him block, and then Zhang Zhiyuan broke through. Dampier had no choice but to face Zhang Zhiyuan.
Dampier's speed was like a slow-motion movie, and Zhang Zhiyuan could pass it with his eyes closed.
Dampier made up the defense, but it seemed like he didn't make up the defense. In short, the result was Zhang Zhiyuan's goal.
"He may not be the second center in the Western Conference, but he is at least the second center in the Mavericks."
Buckley sarcastically said that was quite damaging.
In the past, Dampier played well for a season and named himself the second center in the Western Conference.
And now, Barkley is actually mocking him for being only second on the Mavericks.
The problem is that after sending away Diop, the Mavericks only have two centers in total.
"Please, save some face for others. After all, he is facing Zhang. It is normal for him to be passed over."
Smith defended Dampier with a smirk.
The Mavericks attacked, and Dampier passed halftime slowly.
By the time he reached the Lakers' basket, Bynum was already in a favorable position.
It doesn't matter to Dampier, he doesn't have the ball on the offensive end anyway.
A big contract has been signed, but now he has no interest in playing football at all and only regards playing football as a job.
If the coach can let him play less time, he will even be happy about it.
Kidd passed the ball and Nowitzki made a jump shot.
Stackhouse is at a disadvantage when playing against Kobe Bryant, Josh Howard is also at a disadvantage when playing against Zhang Zhiyuan, Kidd is famous for his base but not offensive, and Dampier is messing around again.
In the Mavericks' starting lineup, only Nowitzki can attack.
In the next round, Nowitzki did not block the position. He wanted to save some energy and let his teammates play first.
Josh Howard made a move and Zhang Zhiyuan chased him.
As the playoffs are approaching, Zhang Zhiyuan will no longer let his guard down.
Josh Howard couldn't find a chance, so Kidd could only try to play on his own.
Kidd is a powerful point guard who can even defend James alone.
Against most point guards, Kidd can have an advantage.
Unfortunately, Fisher is also a powerful point guard. He is afraid of fast people, but he is not afraid of Kidd.
Kidd patted the basketball and arched it several times, but in the end he could only force the shot.
The ball didn't go in.
"The Mavericks are dead."
Barkley started talking loudly again, and after only a few rounds, he made a judgment.
"This year's Mavericks team is indeed much weaker. It depends on whether Kidd can quickly integrate into the team and form a good chemical reaction with them."
Smith said.
"With the chemical reaction, he cannot be the opponent of the Lakers. The Mavericks' deal was a loss after all. They should keep the younger Harris."
Buckley said.
He feels that the reinforcements made by the Suns and Mavericks this year are quite stupid.
On the court, the Lakers are attacking.
Kobe Bryant's jump shot.
This may be due to Stackhouse's defense, or it may simply be due to Kobe's poor touch.
During the transition between offense and defense, Stackhouse made a mistake on his breakthrough and was intercepted by Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers counterattacked and scored.
10 to 4, the Lakers got off to a good start.
Avery directly called a timeout and replaced Jason Terry.
Originally, he wanted to put Terry on the bench to increase his bench firepower.
But now it seems that if Terry is not replaced, the team will collapse in the first quarter.
Mavericks offense.
After Terry came on the court, the most obvious change was that they had an extra three-point shooting spot.
Kobe had no choice but to follow him out. The paint was no longer so crowded, making it easier for Nowitzki to get shots.
Kidd passed the ball, and Nowitzki once again used Golden Rooster Independence, and Hayes couldn't guard it.
The ball goes in.
Unfortunately, Nowitzki was not happy and just silently returned to defense.
He understands that if others cannot open up the situation, it is definitely not enough for him to score alone.
Offensive and defensive transition.
In comparison, the Lakers' offense is very smooth.
They have too many choices.
Kobe Bryant is an opportunity, Zhang Zhiyuan is an opportunity, and even Bynum is an opportunity.
Fisher threw the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan, and Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball.
Josh Howard jumped up to block the shot, which seemed to be blocking the sky and the defense was very good.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan's shot was too fast, and Howard was left alone.
The ball goes in.
13 to 6.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the league should cancel the three-point shot."
Barkley complained.
On the surface he was complaining, but in fact he was praising Zhang Zhiyuan.
Forcing the league to change the rules is a player's highest honor. Of course, James's kind does not count. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
