Chapter 170: The Mavericks first round, stable!

　　 Now, they are getting married.
　　 And this wedding is very different.
　　 Kobe's parents don't like it, and it can even be said that they don't like Vanessa very much.
　　 Vanessa is not African American. She is married too early now and doesn't like Vanessa's "character", thinking that the latter is for money...
　　 There are countless reasons.
　　 It is not only his parents who oppose it, but everyone around Kobe.
　　His agent persuaded him to sign a prenuptial agreement, including Jordan and several NBA stars persuaded him to be cautious, even Phil Jackson did not support him.
　　 At this time, Kobe just felt that he was independent. He wanted to prove himself, challenge O'Neill, challenge his parents, and even challenge the world.
　　 He rejected all proposals including the prenuptial agreement, and he married Vanessa after the finals last year.
　　 Even if it wasn't for summer training, they would have been married by then.
　　 Although they were a little late, they got married.
　　 Only 12 people attended the wedding. Except for the bodyguards, the rest were from the woman’s family.
　　 This is a wedding that will not be blessed.
　　 But in any case, the other person has Latin ancestry and speaks Spanish. If they were placed in Texas, they would become a local "chocolate sweetheart" girl, becoming Vanessa Bryant.
　　 When Sun Hao saw this news, he was different from others and couldn't help but praise Kobe.
　　 is not only because he opened his eyes and knows how good Vasani is to Kobe, but also because of this matter, these opposition voices are really shameless.
　　 Saying that it sounds good is arrogance and prejudice, and saying that it sounds bad is blatant racial discrimination?
　　What kind of greed for money, character is all excuses, the biggest reason is that people are Latino, will it pollute the pure African-American black blood?
　　 Of course, Sun Hao would not express it, because this topic is very sensitive in the United States.
　　 And just as this incident itself was an episode before the start of the playoffs, his focus is still on the upcoming playoffs.
　　The league is also in a hurry. Before the start of the playoffs, it announced the ownership of the first batch of season awards.
　　 Best Head Coach and Most Improved Award.
　　 The best head coach is almost no suspense.
　　 Just like ESPN's pre-season prediction, no one thought that the 76ers could reach the top of the Eastern Conference this season, let alone become the league's first.
　　 So this award was won by 76ers coach Larry Brown without any suspense.
　　 This is also the first time in his career that Brown won the NBA's best coach award.
　　He and Iverson, this season, the master and apprentice have achieved each other.
　　 The Most Improved Award has no suspense.
　　 The Magic’s McGrady’s average points per game have increased from 15.4 points last season to 26.8 points per game this season, almost doubled.
　　 After the end of these two finals, the playoffs of the 2000~2001 season finally officially opened.
　　 There were four games on the first day.
　　 The 76ers in the east play against the Pacers, the Bucks play against the Raptors, the Lakers play against the Timberwolves in the west, and the Kings play against the Jazz.
　　 The Mavericks did not play on the first day.
　　 Old Nelson only arranged for daily training this day, and the game with the Trail Blazers was predictably fierce. He didn't want the players to be too nervous.
　　 Sun Hao, Nowitzki and Nash stayed at home to watch the Lakers game at night.
　　 Although it may not be possible to meet the Lakers, it is still good to look at the games of the best team in the league.
　　 Just like what a certain gunner in the future will say: If you don't defeat the Warriors, what's the point?
　　The status of the Lakers in the league now is about the same as the Warriors in the league in the future, or even higher.
　　 The ultimate goal of the Mavericks is naturally to beat them.
　　 The game started very quickly, and the Timberwolves... was blown up in the opening game.
　　 Dean Garnett and Kevin Garnett over the Timberwolves, double Garnett.
　　 But there was no defense for three seconds, no zone defense, O'Neal was invincible on both ends of the line.
　　 Of course, more importantly, Kobe is really different from the first half of the season.
　　 Even in the playoffs, his offensive desire is not very strong.
　　 In the first quarter, he scored 8 points and sent 3 assists. He was shocked to play the feeling of a Pennsylvania Magician.
　　 The Lakers led 30-15 in the first quarter by 15 points.
　　 The Timberwolves performed well in the second and third quarters under the leadership of Brandon and Garnett, once narrowing the points difference to single digits.
　　 But at the decisive moment, Kobe and O'Neal began to work together, and the game was closed in a wave of 11-0.
　　 After the final game, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 103 to 88.
　　 O'Neal 32 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists, Kobe 25 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals.
　　 This data looks a bit inexplicable, because Kobe sent 11 assists.
　　 And taking a closer look at the technical statistics, Kobe has only shot 11 times...
　　 After watching the game, Nowitzki and Nash looked at each other.
　　 They felt the pressure.
　　 This is the playoffs, and the Lakers played a little too easily.
　　 And the point is that Kobe's playing is so reasonable!
　　The possibility that a Laker like this will be defeated is zero!
　　 Sun Hao is also a little bit emotional. The 9 games that Kobe has injured this season are worth the injury.
　　 When he saw the expressions of Nowitzki and Nash, he reached out and patted them on the shoulders.
　　 "The Timberwolves are too weak. Haven't we beaten them by 58 points?"
　　 He didn't want a shadow in their hearts.
　　 Nowitzki and Nash nodded after listening.
　　 Yes, it's not that the Lakers are too strong, but the Timberwolves are too bad.
　　 In addition to the Lakers and Timberwolves, the remaining three games of the first day have also been played.
　　 The Kings defeated the Jazz 104 to 96. Six of the team scored in double figures. Webber and Stojakovic doubled by 20+, a typical Princeton victory.
　　 The Knicks beat the Raptors 92 to 85 at home.
　　 The Raptors' new All-Star Antonio Davis scored a double-double of 19 points and 15 rebounds, but Carter felt cold and made only 5 of 22 shots.
　　 The first playoff game without McGrady, miss him!
　　 The 76ers were killed by the Pacers 78-79 at home.
　　 In this fight, Reggie Miller scored 17 points on 5 of 21 shots and Iverson scored 16 points on 7 of 19 shots.
　　 The results directly benefited from the centers of the two teams. O'Neal grabbed 20 career highs, and Uncle Mu also scored 22 rebounds.
　　……
　　 After the first day of the game, the TNT Big Three have another job.
　　 "Allen Iverson's scoring efficiency has not been high, this 76ers offense is too dependent on him, it is difficult for them to go far."
　　 Barkley is the old representative when he speaks.
"Kevin Garnett has absolutely nothing to fight back against the Lakers. Will he never make it through the first round? Or does he think back to the regular season with the Mavericks when they lost a full 58 points night. "
　　 58 points are too many, already tied to Garnett.
　　 "I hate Bruce Bowen, but I think Vince still needs to learn how to deal with this. Without T-mac, he has to carry the team, otherwise he looks like a regular season player."
Although there are only four games in 　　, the slots are full.
　　 "The Kings will be the only team in the league that can challenge the Lakers. I love their games so much."
　　 Kenny Smith praised the Kings, it looked like the pinnacle of team basketball.
　　 "No, only the Trail Blazers can challenge the Lakers."
　　 Barkley expressed his opinion.
　　 "Charles, they are sad for the Spurs. They should not be able to pass the Mavericks. They are only seventh in the West."
　　 Kenny Smith reminded that the Blazers' regular season performance is too difficult to get to the Lakers like last year.
　　 "No, how many of the Mavericks have played in the playoffs? They have no experience in this area, and that is exactly what the Trail Blazers have. We all know that the regular season is just a warm-up, and the playoffs are real."
　　 "Don't forget, although they are second, first and seventh, they are only 6 wins away."
　　 Barkley then added.
　　 Smith and Johnson nodded unconsciously, which made sense.
　　 This is also the reason why the Mavericks and Spurs had mutual acting skills in the final game of the regular season.
　　 No one wants to meet the hard bones of the Trail Blazers in the first round.
　　 If you are lucky, you have to peel off the skin. If you are not lucky, you may be dried up.
　　 "So you don't think the Mavericks can win?"
　　 Kenny Smith asked Barkley with a smile.
　　 If there is metaphysics, Barkley has a bit of a conflict with the Mavericks this season.
　　 As long as Barkley is not optimistic, the Mavericks can always surprise.
　　 "Yes, they will be swept away."
　　Barkley is also quite cooperative.
　　 Smith and Johnson couldn't help laughing again after listening.
　　 They suddenly felt that the Mavericks had stabilized in the first round.
　　……
　　 The next night, the Dallas American National Airline Center was packed.
　　 Boss Cuban took the lead, and the scene was a blue ocean.
　　 The enthusiasm of the cowboys came to light.
　　 When the Mavericks members entered the field, the scene was instantly boiling.
　　 The last time the team entered the playoffs was the 1989~1990 season!
　　 11 years later, in the playoffs, they finally came back!
　　 not only came back, but they are also second in the West and have home court advantage!
　　 Of course, the happiest person is Cuban.
　　 The team reached the playoffs in the second year he took over, and the core of the team is younger than the other, with a bright future.
　　 The warm-up started soon, and the Mavericks looked a little tight.
　　 Barkley is right about one thing, this Mavericks team has very little playoff experience.
　　 Of the five starters, Nash has the most playoff experience, but he has only played for two years, and he played the entire game as a soy sauce substitute.
　　The one with more experience in the playoffs was Uncle Huo, who was killed after three games.
　　 The remaining Nowitzki, Finley, and Sun Hao all have zero experience in the playoffs.
　　 There are even more than five main players. Among the rotation players, only Kukoc and Eisley are more experienced.
　　 This kind of team is not normal if it is not nervous.
　　 In contrast, the Trail Blazers seem to be much calmer, talking and laughing, just a group of old fritters.
　　 The warm-up is about to end. A reporter interviewed Rasheed Wallace of the Trail Blazers.
　　 "Does Camp's absence and Bonche Wells's injury have a big impact on the team?"
　　 The reporter's words were sharp, and at first glance he was rushing to make trouble.
　　 "There are a lot of people in our team who can play, no matter who is absent, there are people who can top it."
　　 Wallace looked violent, but he was also good at EQ.
　　 "The Trail Blazers ended up only seventh in the Western Conference and lost their home court advantage. Does this have a big impact on team morale?"
　　 "We are always fighting spirit."
　　 Wallace still answered directly, but he could see that he was frowning.
　　 "The Trail Blazers' record after the All-Star game fluctuates a lot. Is there something wrong with the team?"
　　 The reporters are in trouble.
　　 "We don't have any problems, you are the ones who have problems."
　　 This time Wallace responded directly, his temper was not very good.
　　 "Rasheed."
　　 Fortunately, Pippen was nearby, so he hurriedly pulled Wallace away.
　　 The reporter was clearly arguing about something. Wallace's violent temper was afraid that he was about to drop the microphone.
　　 "Calm down, he just wants to irritate you."
　　 After all, Pippen came here, and there have been more big scenes. Wallace is still young after all.
　　 And it’s not surprising that the reporter would ask Wallace about this. "Roaring Heavenly Lord" is well-known.
"He succeeded."
　　 Wallace turned his head and glanced at the Mavericks halftime, with a cruel face.
　　 The warm-up was about to end, and Wallace called the Blazers together.
　　 "They think we had a bad season. We are no longer the team that could tie the Lakers to last season. We can already be slaughtered. Tell me, are we?"
　　 Wallace spoke like a dynamite barrel that was lit.
　　 But his words make people excited.
　　 "We are not, we will beat these soft guys, we will face those who look down on us, we will beat the Lakers, guys, our season has truly begun!"
　　 had to say, before falling into a complete rage. Wallace is a very qualified leader.
　　 The reporter in front of him angered him, but Pippen suppressed the anger to controllable range, which seemed to be a good thing instead.
　　 Sun Hao turned his head and glanced at the Trail Blazers halftime.
　　 He didn't know what happened, but when he saw Wallace raised his hand and led the team with slogans in full force.
　　 He felt that tonight’s game would never be so easy.
　　 After the warm-up ~EbookFREE.me~ the starting lineups of the two teams have been released.
　　 On the Mavericks side, Nelson still has a lineup without center.
　　 Outside Nash and Sun Hao, striker Finley and Uncle Huo, center Nowitzki.
　　 Just as he explained in the locker room yesterday, he wanted to bring the game to the Mavericks rhythm from the beginning.
　　 On the Trail Blazers side, Old Dunleavy used a regular lineup.
　　 Outside Damon Stoudemire and Steve Smith, forward Pippen and Wallace, center Sabonis.
　　 On the broadcast seat, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun are also ready.
　　 Sun Hao's first NBA career playoff game is about to start.
　　 To be precise, there is also Wang Zhizhi, who also entered the team's active list tonight.
　　 "This will be a very difficult game."
　　 Following the distance, Zhang Weiping felt that kind of rattling atmosphere on the court.
　　 "Which guide do you think has a better chance?"
　　 Su Qun knocked on the side.
　　 "Of course it's the Mavericks, they are second in the West."
　　 Zhang Weiping had a serious face one second before, but the next second he showed a shameless smile.
　　 Su Qun couldn't help coughing. .
　　 This is what Zhang Weiping is talking about, and it doesn’t even make sense to you.
　　 But he was also full of curiosity, wondering if the "Zhang Weiping Law" could be fulfilled again this time.
