In this quarter, Jackson is fighting a battle of wealth. He can't be a cheat even if he wants to. He can only adjust the rotation lineup and adapt to the rhythm of the crushing battle.
Gasol rested for 3 minutes in the first quarter and came out in the second quarter, partnering with O'Neal in the paint.
There is Ariza on the outside who is in a contract year, and then Vujacic and Farmar are sent.
Just looking at the lineup, the Lakers' strength is a dimensionality-reducing blow to everyone.
On the Mavericks side, coach Carlisle was a bit too big compared to Jackson's ease.
To be honest, with the Mavericks' copywriting ability and the owner's love for basketball, Carlisle's headache is unnecessary.
However, the copying ability of the past few years has caused a lot of backlash for the current Mavericks team.
After a few years of signing players with their abilities, some have increased in value and some have decreased in value. Most players have a short shelf life. This is not unusual. If you still ignore it, the losses will be even greater. .
The Mavericks' copywriting ability in the past few years was just about right, neither good nor bad, but mediocrity is criminal when it comes to competing for the championship.
First of all, Dampier boasted about the contract he won. Now he can get 12 million, the team's third-year salary. The result was 5.7 points and 7 rebounds. Is this performance? Being able to continue to play in the starting lineup is actually to deceive people so that Dampier can be sent out. Now the playing time is only about 25 minutes per game, and the rotation is almost non-existent. This is the biggest failure.
Next is Josh Howard, whose annual salary of 9 million is well worth it, but he has too many injuries and can't bear to deal with it.
Next is Diop's 6 million middle class. He can get this kind of annual salary because he can occasionally endure O'Neal in the 2006 Finals. Now O'Neal can no longer play, and Diop is basically useless.
Later, it was Stackhouse who was exchanged for Jamison. After a few years, he also suffered huge losses. Stackhouse was already 34 years old, and his salary was in the middle class. There was not much left in the gas tank.
Finally, Kidd’s contract was traded with the Nets, and the Mavericks made some money. In addition, Kidd’s contract has an annual salary of about 21 million. He is already 35 years old. Although he is durable, he does not dare to die. It is also a kind of harm.
Counting Nowitzki's annual salary of 18 million, the Mavericks don't have much room to operate.
Rotating the lineup can only allow Nowitzki to play more, while Terry continues to hang on the court while going crazy, so that he can continue to go crazy.
Among the remaining players, Jose Barea was an undrafted player who was picked up cheaply. As long as the Mavericks have room to operate, with Cuban's courage, they will not use such cheap players. There is really no choice.
There are also Stackhouse and Diop who are also players who make up the number.
The second quarter of the game begins.
Terry's crazy is really terrible, he has the appearance of a superstar, and his firepower is very hard.
In the second quarter of the game, there was music and then there was wind, but the Lakers still couldn't stop it.
Who can stop a serious person?
Fortunately, when Terry goes crazy, he is hard and hard. The key is that it does not last long.
It didn't take two strokes before it went soft.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that other teammates don't know that you are weak, and he himself doesn't know that he is weak. His teammates feel that Terry can still fight for 2 minutes.
Terry asked for 2 and a half minutes.
That's it, it's very fatal.
This unorthodox ability trait is a double-edged sword that can hurt opponents as well as one's own people.
Soon, Terry's random rush disrupted his team's offensive rhythm.
With the existence of such crouching dragons and young phoenixes, the Lakers were very brave in chasing points, and Nowitzki had no choice but to stand up.
"Nowitzki held the ball and challenged Gasol, turned his back, turned around, pulled the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Gasol, tall and long-armed, covered Nowitzki's eyes, and then bet that Nowitzki's pistol had no bullets.
Bang-dang——!
Do not know why?
Gasol defended Nowitzki, and the effect and state were very smooth. There were bullets in Nowitzki's pistol, but not many, and the kill was no match.
…
"Nowitzki didn't work, so Terry decided to do it himself. He felt that he still had a few drops, which was enough.
Dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, against Vujacic's defense, he took a step away from the three-point line, raised his hand and made a three-pointer, blindly throwing Ji Ba...
There was a clang, and Terry's condition failed and he started to hit the iron. "
…
Of the two core players, one is uncertain about Gasol, and the other is uncertain about his own status.
The remaining ones are Stackhouse, Barea and Diop. How can there be any remaining offensive firepower?
The thickness of the Lakers' bench, bit by bit, brought the score closer to 28-25, and the Lakers recovered three points.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers were only 6 points behind.
Su Bei is almost forgotten and does not have many scenes.
From this point of view, Bynum's later words were correct. Kobe did hinder Bynum's growth.
Now Su Bei feels that he is also being hindered.
In the third quarter of the game, base broke out and did nothing on the offensive end, assisting the Lakers to continue chasing points. 22 to 19, they recovered another 3 points, only 3 points behind the Mavericks.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Nowitzki wanted to take over the game. However, contrary to expectations, he took over Kidd's undercover team and performed an offensive show.
"Nowitzki can't break Gasol's defense.
Logically speaking, the four power forwards should be rearranged. Chris Webber's honor is just short of a hundred million points. Gasol will make up for it and form the four power forwards with Duncan, Nowitzki, and Garnett. Only in this way can he be convinced. force……"
Nowitzki was defeated by Gasol, and Kidd continued his "basic but not offensive" mode. He could only try one shot offensively. Even if he scored very steadily, it was of no use.
The Lakers' mediocre performance only allowed the bullets to fly for a while, but the Mavericks couldn't withstand it anymore and were beaten by a score of 30 to 20. The lineup crushing battle is so unreasonable.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 106 to 99. The Lakers had a 7-point advantage, reversed and defeated the Mavericks, and won 6 consecutive victories in the new season.
Nowitzki made 5 of 17 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 14 points and 8 rebounds.
Terry made 7 of 15 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 21 points and 4 assists. After scoring 13 points in the first quarter, he scored less than 10 points in the last three quarters. His performance was a bastard, with ups and downs. Not 100 million points.
Kidd made 7 of 14 shots, 1 of 7 3-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. His triple-double style is still the same, but it is a pity that he only scored two points in the fourth quarter of a tough battle. The data alone is good. It's of no use to birds either.
Kobe made 10 of 20 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 27 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds. His performance was just okay.
Gasol made 8 of 15 shots, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 22 points and 11 rebounds. His performance was efficient and amazing, especially when he had the upper hand against Nowitzki, which was the key to the Lakers' victory.
Su Bei made 3 of 8 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. His performance was quite a stretch, and he lost the face of the Big Three.
But then again, it's not his fault.
Don't ask, just blame Benzema.
To be fair, when the three giants are combined together, they look glorious, champion-like, poetic and distant, but there are also a lot of compromises.
For example, among the Green Army's three giants, Ray Allen was not recognized as another giant. Instead, he was criticized miserably and was considered a supporter. In order to prove himself, he will go to Miami in the future.
The Big Three of the Heat are making waves.
Among the Cavaliers' Big Three, Love is useless.
You see, players as strong as Ray Allen, Bosh, and Love have all fallen into this situation and can only take the blame. Su Bei just has poor statistics, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
The Lakers want Kobe to eat first, and then take care of Gasol. Then, Bynum, as the darling, will also be taken care of in the contract year.
Ariza is also in a contract year, whether he can stay with the Lakers or not? Can you sell it for a good value when you leave? They also need the ball to make the data look better.
Even Odom was squeezed into the sixth man position, Walton became a marginal man, and Radmanovic was put on the trading desk.
After comparing Su Bei like this, he suddenly felt thinner.
On the basketball court, there is only one basketball. It is no longer popular to have one star per city. One ball is really not enough and it is not enough to score points.
Fortunately, wealth also has advantages, and the Lakers have shown their invincibility in the new season.
In a word: How lonely it is to be invincible!
In the Western Theater District, the Spurs lineup is aging, the Rockets lineup has injury risks, the Mavericks lineup needs to optimize resources, the Suns lineup is a mess, the boss messes up, and the Jazz has no structure and cannot keep up with the times...
The Lakers do have unbridled strength in the Western Theater Division. Who can be better than me?
