The Dallas Mavericks have maintained an undefeated record since the preseason until now, which puts a little pressure on other teams in the league that want to compete for the championship!

Of course, the current regular season has just begun, and what the Mavericks will be this season remains to be seen.

After playing the Heat and Trail Blazers, the Mavericks' next opponent is the Western team Los Angeles Lakers!

In the first two games, Li Tuan scored a triple-double of 20+ in one game, and scored 24 points in the other game. His performance was very eye-catching. In the third game, whether he can continue to perform like this, countless fans are wondering. Wait and see!

Although Li Tuanjie's performance in the first two games was extremely eye-catching, there are still many people who are not optimistic about Li Tuanjie. They are waiting for the day when Li Tuanjie will be beaten back to his original form!

...

Now the most famous non-domestic player with the most fans in China is probably Kobe. After all, Kobe is a so-called six billion man.

In terms of the number of fans, in this era, the number of fans of Kobe Bryant in China may even surpass that of Yao Ming. People like James, Duncan, O'Neal, etc., after Kobe's shocking statistics last season, the number of fans is far away. Not as good as Kobe.

Now Li Tuanjie's Mavericks are about to play against the Lakers led by Kobe. The domestic fans are naturally excited. In this game, they can not only see Kobe's picturesque beauty, but also see the performance of domestic player Li Tuanjie. The best of both worlds.

...

On November 7th, it is still the home court of the Mavericks. The Mavericks are sitting in the American Airlines Center Arena, waiting for the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers.

In the first two games of the Lakers, one lost and one won, basically as expected by the fans, Kobe's performance was still so incomprehensible, scoring 41 points in the first game of the two games, and 43 points in the second game!

Two consecutive 40+ games, this season started, Kobe once again staged the crazy scoring momentum of last season!

Last season, due to Kobe's crazy performance, Popovich even said "against the Lakers, if you can limit Kobe's scoring to less than 40 points, it will be considered a success..."

Moreover, the Mavericks were the ones suffering last season. They were directly defeated by Kobe in three quarters, allowing Kobe to score a high score of 60 points in a short period of time. Even in that game, many fans felt that if Kobe did not want to play Garbage time debut, I am afraid that Kobe can score more than 80 points on the Mavericks...

Compared with last season, the Los Angeles Lakers' lineup this season is even worse. Not only has the team's lineup not been strengthened in the slightest, even Chris Mim, who performed well last season, has also been reimbursed for the season...

Under such circumstances, the Lakers management has no choice but to start using new players, and put Luke Walton and Andrew Bynum, who performed fairly well last season, into the starting lineup.

Luke Walton, as the third pick in the second round of 2003 selected by the Lakers, the best performance of his career so far is only the average of 5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game last season...

Andrew Bynum was even worse. After being selected by the Lakers with the 10th pick in the first round last season, he averaged only 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, which was very embarrassing...

Such two players have been mentioned in the starting position this season. It is conceivable how weak the Lakers' lineup and bench thickness are now.

Just such two players, in the Lakers lineup, they are both short and big.

...

Purely from the perspective of the team's lineup, the Mavericks' lineup can really blow up the Lakers' 100 streets, not to mention others, the current backup veteran in the Mavericks' lineup, Stackhouse, if it is placed on the Lakers, it may not be enough. Qualified to compete for the second head of the team...

In the Mavericks lineup, Stackhouse's strength can only be ranked fifth or sixth at present, and the gap between the two teams' lineups is clear at a glance.

The Lakers have a poor lineup, and this is actually their management doing their best...

If you want to talk about the decline of the Lakers, you have to start with the fact that the Lakers and the Heat traded O'Neal back then!

Mentioning that O'Neal was traded, many fans may complain about Kobe. In fact, this matter has something to do with Kobe, but it has nothing to do with it!

At the age of 32, O'Neal asked the Lakers for the largest contract in history. The specific contract amount has been discussed in different ways. In short, the Lakers can't afford this contract. You must know that Kobe is about to renew his contract. If the Lakers management is satisfied with O'Neal If the signing requirements of Kobe Bryant's contract, then it may not be able to meet Kobe's salary requirements...

Between the 32-year-old O'Neal and the twenty-five or six-year-old Kobe, the Lakers management will definitely give priority to Kobe, which is understandable!

After trading O'Neal to the Heat, the Lakers traded for Caron Butler, Brian Grant and Lamar Odom.

Purely from the point of view of trading chips, the Lakers are actually not losing at all. The three players traded are all in their prime years, and any team with their strength can start.

But the next nightmare for the Lakers has officially begun...

The first is Caron Barrett. The Lakers management is very incomprehensible. They took this future All-Star small forward to the Wizards and exchanged it for a big parallel import champion Kwame Brown...

You must know that Caron Butler played for the Lakers for a season, averaging 15.5 points and 6 rebounds per game. He is the second scorer in the Lakers, but he only got Kwame Brown. Speechless...

Followed by Brian Grant, Grant belongs to a conscientious blue-collar coolie, defense and rebounding are very good, belongs to the type of important championship puzzle player.

But unfortunately, after Grant came to the Lakers, he played for half a season and was directly reimbursed for the season, and the injury was very serious!

You must know that Grant has the second highest salary of the Lakers after Kobe, and the second highest salary player is reimbursed for various seasons. It is reasonable for the Lakers to fail to achieve results...

I don't know if it's the Lakers' bad luck or Grant's bad luck. Anyway, after Grant came to the Lakers, he suffered from various injuries and didn't play much at all...

...

If you look at this deal at the beginning, the Heat and the Lakers are a win-win situation...

But if you look at it today, the Lakers really don’t have any pants left. They traded O’Neal for Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom...and also helped the Heat deal with Grant’s annual salary of up to 1,000. Five or six million rubbish contracts...

At that time, an annual salary of more than 15 million was considered a top-level contract. After all, Nowitzki’s contract was only more than 16 million, and Kobe’s contract was only about 17 million...
