One Guard

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Before the start of the game, LeBron James’ eyes have not been on the championship pennant hanging from the dome of the American Airlines Center Arena move away. If it weren't for his poor performance in the finals last season, this pennant might belong to Miami.

Averaging 17 points per game, for James, last season's Finals was simply a stain on his career. After a summer of training and lineup running-in, James is ready to take back the O'Brien Cup in the new season!

So, this strong "humanoid tank" withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on the five players wearing white Mavericks jerseys opposite him.

Today, it is bound to let you know the scorching rage after the Big Three got angry! To regain the O'Brien Cup, start with Dallas, which caused them to fail!

In terms of starting, the Heat still used last season's lineup. The Big Three will naturally continue to play, and the center and point guard will still be played by Joe Anthony and Chalmers respectively.

For the Mavericks, the starting positions of Yiyang, Nowitzki and Marion are unshakable. Carter, who joined the new team, replaced Stevenson as the starting No. 2, and Brandon Heywood, who returned, became the new patron saint of the Dallas restricted area.

It seems that the Mavericks lineup does not seem to have weakened much. Although Haywood is not as good as Chandler in general, his low-post defense and blocking ability are also quite good. The fans watching the game at home shouted wildly, and they all expected the Mavericks to press the Big Three on the ground again and rub hard.

But with the first goal of the game, LeBron James shut up all the Mavericks fans watching the game at home.

After Joe Anthony got the ball first for the Heat, James reached out for the ball and ran all the way to the Mavericks' half. Facing Marion's defense, James was able to break through and enter the penalty area with a simple change of direction.

After losing Stevenson, the defensive strength that is enough to limit James, it is difficult for the 33-year-old Marion to resist James' full impact.

Although only one season has passed, after the age of 30, most competitive sports players may show a greater decline in their competitive state every year they get older. The current Marion has experienced his last peak and entered the withering period. It is difficult for him to compete with James, even if the Heat No. 6 was once his own defeat.

James leaned on Marion and entered the penalty area, but the Mavericks fans didn't seem to panic. In the penalty area, there is also Brandon Heywood, a defensive center with outstanding athletic ability, squatting!

However, maybe Mavericks fans put too much faith in Haywood. Or, they underestimated Chandler's importance to the Mavs in the past.

Although Chandler's average of 10.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game last season was not very impressive, the defensive efficiency of the "Champion" ranked first in the team. In this offensive-oriented Mavericks team, Chandler It is their best barrier on the defensive end. At the same time, his excellent rebound control ability is also a guarantee for the Mavericks' outside shooters to dare to shoot a lot in the game. Even the team boss Dirk Nowitzki once praised: "Chandler is the MVP of this team."

Now a mere Brandon Haywood is simply unable to fill the vacancy left by Chandler's departure.

I saw that after James pushed Marion, he directly faced Heywood and forced to attack the frame. Although Heywood tried his best to block it, he was still a thousand miles away from completing the block.

In the air, Heywood couldn't make James completely lose his balance. Instead, it was James' huge impact that made Heywood a little overwhelmed.

The two collided violently, and then the referee blew his whistle. The moment the whistle stopped, the basketball thrown by James went hollow into the net.

"Haha! Well done!" On the commentary stage, O'Neill waved his arm excitedly.

The Mavericks fans in the stands held their heads in pain one by one.

As soon as the vengeful James came up, he got a chance to hit a three-pointer!

At the free throw line, James took two big breaths to calm his breath. Subsequently, the "Little Emperor" made a steady free throw. An opening, LeBron gave the Mavericks a blow.

Although trailing by three points in the opening game, the Mavericks fans quickly regrouped to cheer. Next, it's time for the Mavericks to attack. They all want to see how strong Yiyang has become after a summer of training.

Facing Chalmers' defense, Yiyang did not feel too much pressure. As soon as his toes stepped on the three-point line, he hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area and hit Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's superb performance against Bosh during the finals of last season, the fans are still vivid. So when Dirk held the ball, not only the fans, but even Bosh felt his heart beating faster.

Nowitzki leaned on Bosh and pushed back two steps, looking as if he was going to singles himself. However, after successfully containing the defense, Nowitzki passed the ball to the left corner. There, Yiyang has already opened his hands, ready to catch the ball!

Chalmers knew that Yiyang was not a defender who was good at shooting three-pointers, so he learned to be smart and didn't press forward directly, but let Yiyang take two steps, and opened his arms, intending to limit Yiyang's breakthrough.

However, after Yiyang received the basketball, he immediately pulled up and shot without any hesitation. This kind of decisiveness and confidence when he gets an open three-pointer, Chalmers has only seen it in shooter players in the past. But Yiyang, he has absolutely nothing to do with the word "shooter"!

The young trainer Chris Brickley, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, smiled. This season, you guys had better not give Yiyang too much space outside the three-point line. Otherwise, it will pay a heavy price.

"Swipe!" The basketball hit the net with precision, setting off a "white wave". After Yiyang scored a goal, he raised his arm and showed three fingers. Chalmers was stunned, why did he score this goal?

"Hahaha, did you see Shaq! This year's Yi is already stronger than last season! Three-pointers are now a conventional weapon for him!" Barkley laughed excitedly, in his opinion , The Mavericks now fully possess the strength to continue to compete with the Heat.

Although at the beginning of the game, both James and Yiyang made a strong statement and did not want to give up the victory. But a basketball game is always a 48-minute competition. Whether a team can maintain its good momentum is the key to victory.

After Yiyang left the field, Terry and Odom, the high-profile "strongest bench combination", made their debut. Originally, everyone was full of expectations for the bench firepower led by these two guys. But after playing, the bench scoring more dominant, but became the Heat.

The Heat's substitute players did not have outstanding personal abilities, but they cooperated closely and their attack points were scattered, making it impossible for the Mavericks to grasp the focus of defense.

James Jones just hit a three-pointer. In the next round, Norris Cole caught the Mavericks off guard with another beautiful breakthrough.

The two major attack points of Terry and Odom fell into a state of going it alone. Terry doesn't like to pass the ball to Odom, and Odom seems to be out of tune with the Mavericks' system.

In the first 3 shots, Odom's shots all missed the target. Without the containment of Odom, Terry, who was strictly guarded and unable to get shooting space, would have difficulty making a difference.

As for Kidd, who is already old, it is no longer possible for him to use his scoring ability to forcibly drag the team forward.

Originally, when Yiyang and Nowitzki were on the court, the Mavericks were not too passive on the court. Once Ke Yiyang and Nowitzki leave the field, the Heat will completely control the situation.

After the game, Odom's performance continued to decline. Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, this guy also "watched" the opponent's players successfully attack the frame several times.

"What the hell is he doing!? Doesn't Lamar know that the regular season has been rekindled?" Even Barkley, who has always supported the Mavericks, couldn't stand Odom's performance.

Without Chandler's protection, James and Wade made frequent breakthroughs. The impact brought by the two superstars was the first time that Yiyang felt so terrifying. Now Carlisle and Mavericks fans must miss Chandler very much. If that guy is still there, James and Wade would not be able to attack the rim so recklessly.

Yiyang's wonderful passes and independent scoring again and again failed to suppress the firepower of the Big Three. Nowitzki's precise shooting also failed to allow the Mavericks to regain control of the game.

In the third quarter, James, Wade and Battier fired collectively from beyond the three-point line. Unfortunately, these three guys were able to hit the ball today.

A rain of three-pointers made 5 of 7 shots and seemed to extinguish the fierce battle in the American Airlines Center Arena. With a 13-point disadvantage, the Mavericks entered the decisive battle in the final quarter.

At the decisive moment, Yiyang scored two consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line. But apart from Nowitzki, there is no player around Yiyang who can stand up and help the team break the deadlock.

Terry was completely pinned down, and Odom was in a state of sleepwalking. Marion can't match James at all, and Carter, who has passed his peak, can't turn the tide on the offensive end.

In the last 20 seconds of the game, when James once again broke through the penalty area and scored another three-pointer on Haywood, the Mavericks were already 8 points behind the Heat. At this point, Carlisle only had one timeout left, and the failure of the opening game was a foregone conclusion!

Although Yiyang fouled Wade with a beautiful breakthrough and scored a three-pointer to help the Mavericks narrow the gap, time was running out. In the end, the Mavericks still swallowed the defeat 99 to 104. The Heat succeeded in revenge with an exaggerated 3-point shooting percentage of 57% and a super high finishing rate at the basket!

After the game, James hammered his chest with a grim expression. Wade was so excited that he jumped up high and punched hard in the air. They finally got revenge for losing the championship!

Yiyang, who scored 28 points and 9 assists and made 5 of 7 three-pointers, could only helplessly stand in the middle of the court and shook his head. Although his statistics are beautiful, he did perform better than last season. But no victory, no matter how beautiful the personal data is, what's the point?

After losing the opening match, at the subsequent press conference, the reporters naturally asked Yiyang a lot of sharp questions.

The expressionless Yiyang didn't intend to complain in front of the media, he just told everyone. "Bad times always pass."

After the game, the audience made only 1 of 7 shots and only scored 2 points and 1 rebound in 23 minutes of playing. Odom, who surprised everyone, changed his clothes and left the locker room as if nothing had happened. He has a date with some woman tonight. Victory or defeat doesn't seem to matter at all to him.

Seeing this scene, even Yiyang felt very angry. It's just that he controlled his fist and told himself in his heart: "Everything will be fine, everything will be fine..."

On December 26, the second day after the start of the new NBA season. The Mavericks must be at home, back to back against the Denver Nuggets. This year's shrinking season is very dense, and back-to-back will be commonplace for players. But Yiyang didn't reject it, on the contrary, he was very excited, hoping to win the team's first victory in today's game.

However, the day after the start of the regular season, Odom was late for practice. When he came to the training ground, this guy even smelled of alcohol. It goes without saying that he must have had a blast at the nightclub yesterday.

Although Carlisle gave Odom a fine of $5,000 in accordance with team regulations and made severe criticism, this did not save Odom's disastrous performance in the next game.

In some people's eyes, basketball is life, while in some people's eyes, basketball is just a playmate when you are bored. Odom, obviously belongs to the latter.

"Lamar Odom received a wonderful pass, and he got an open three-point shot! If the ball goes in, the Mavericks, struggling in the mud, will overtake the score!" Barkley clenched his fists , but as soon as Odom made a shot, he knew the ball was out of the question!

The person who was second only to Yiyang in the ranking of the best sixth man last year threw the ball softly. The basketball was cut short, rubbed against the front of the rim, and fell directly into the hands of Brazilian center Nene of the Nuggets.

Subsequently, the Brazilian made a long pass from the backcourt and assisted Ty Lawson, who had already started, to make a fast break. Yiyang clenched his teeth, but he still didn't let his anger out. Yiyang can understand if he misses the shot. But with an unimaginable shot in the face of a wide open, Yiyang was furious.

Odom is not only irresponsible to himself, but also completely irresponsible to the team. This is already his 9th missed shot today. So far in the game, Odom has only hit one goal in 10 shots. The goal he scored was when he received a wonderful pass from Yiyang under the basket and made it to the empty basket. The rest of the shots, without exception, all hit iron.

Originally, the Mavericks and the Nuggets were inseparable, but Odom's ability to squander opportunities gave the Nuggets a chance to open the score.

In the end, the Nuggets narrowly beat the defending champion Mavericks 115 to 112 on the road with Odom's "excellent" performance. After the game, Barkley even bluntly said that the best player of the game should be awarded to Odom. Without this "Best Sixth Man", the Nuggets simply cannot win!

Two consecutive losses, after the start of the new season, everything seems to be quite different from what was expected. As soon as the glorious Dallas Mavericks came up, they fell directly into a trough.

After the game, Yiyang did not accept any interviews from reporters, and even did not answer Mu Ran's questions. The young Dallas No. 1 walked straight back to the locker room with a straight face, looking in a terrible mood.

In the third game of the regular season, the Mavericks will face the more mature Oklahoma City Thunder on the road. There is no doubt that this will be another tough opponent.

"I believe that if the Mavericks continue in this state, it will not be a problem to achieve a three-game losing streak!" After the game, O'Neal even predicted the outcome of the next game.

After returning to the locker room, Yiyang could no longer restrain the anger in his heart. He punched Odom's locker, denting the locker that originally belonged to Barea.

Fortunately, Odom has not returned to the locker room at this time, otherwise the outbreak of a locker room scandal will be inevitable.
