Chapter 286: Burning fire of revenge!

The National Airline Center Arena, the visiting team locker room.
Fisher was pulling Bryant to say something.
This season, Kobe started to "grab the class to seize power" in the true sense, the number of shots skyrocketed, and the desire for the tree in his heart grew extremely swollen.
Maybe outsiders don't know, but everyone on the Lakers knows that the conflict between Kobe and O'Neal has reached a point where it is completely irreconcilable.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Lakers record ups and downs.
What the outside world does not know is that Kobe is willing to give up shots in the first round of the series, or Fisher's credit.
Now this Lakers team, Phil Jackson has lost the binding force on Kobe, only this No. 24 pick in the league with Kobe, his words still work.
"Shaq is getting old, but you have to let people see him getting old, so you have to make him attack more."
"You only need to take the key shots. The reason why Michael is called great is not because of the number of points he scored, but the key shots he made, the shots of the century."
"Let Shaq dominate the regular time, you dominate the outcome, that will prove that you are the real king of Los Angeles."
...
The reason why Kobe can listen to Fisher, in addition to their private relationship, is that Fisher is very pleasing.
To say something ugly is to flatter, and to be better is to give it to one's favor.
Either way, it does work.
Just like this, Fisher and Kobe said.
"The series has just begun. Fans won't remember who played good or bad at the beginning. They only focus on the key battles, so let Shaq attack first."
Kobe nodded after listening.
Don't think Kobe is stupid, his character is destined to like this.
Even if the same words are told to him in another way, the results will be different.
...
Home team locker room.
The preparations for the Mavericks are relatively relaxed and everyone is eager to try.
This is their real battle of revenge.
Last season, he fought so hard and was eliminated in the tie-break. It is a personal regret.
Now the opportunity for revenge is near, and people can't help but want to shake their legs.
However, there are special ones too.
Dampier, didn't know if he didn't perform well in the first round, he seemed a little absent-minded.
Sun Hao saw in his eyes, and when everyone else went to the arena one after another, he stopped Dampier.
"We traded for Steve in the summer. If you are easily defeated by Shaq, everyone will feel your responsibility."
Sun Hao's words were more direct and harsher.
Dampier was taken aback after listening.
This is not good, but it is very realistic. If he loses to the Lakers, he will definitely become a target.
"Also, Eric, you have to remember that with so many players, we have to get you even at the price of Steve, because we think you are the only one who can compete against Shaq."
What Sun Hao said later made Dampier feel extremely inflated in his self-confidence.
Well, Sun Hao slapped him to wake him up first, and then gave him a big white rabbit toffee.
Sun Hao is also very artful in speaking. He knows that Dampier is the kind of person with strong vanity.
Looking at the war spirit on Dampier's face, Sun Hao knew that his words had worked.
...
The National Airline Center Arena is full of seats and a blue ocean.
Cuban is still standing behind the bench in his blue T-shirt.
The difference is that this time he is not carrying a young girl, but his sweet wife Tiffany Stewart.
The two had just completed their wedding on the island of Barbados last year. The wedding was very simple and low-key.
This is also their first public appearance on the court.
From this, we can see that Cuban attaches great importance to this game.
It is even possible to beat the Lakers who have just completed the dynasty at home.
For him, an avid basketball fan, what an exciting thing to think about.
In the front row, Scarlett's figure was also captured by the photographer.
When the scene came, cheers and whistles also sounded.
Scarlett’s appearances in the National Airline Center Arena have been countless, and fans have almost regarded her as part of the game.
In addition to them, there was another person on the scene who also attracted special attention.
LeBron James.
James came again to watch Sun Hao play.
And this time he is sitting relatively forward.
There have been news broke before that James has begun negotiations with Nike.
There are even rumors that the value of the contract signed by both parties may reach an astronomical figure of 90 million in 7 years.
In the season, the NBA's salary cap is 40.27 million, and the starting salary for players who have played for 0-6 years is 10.6 million.
In other words, the average salary of this contract given by Nike is larger than the NBA's maximum salary contract, and it is 7 years.
The only signal to do so is that they want to treat James as a facade for the next ten years or even longer.
This sounds crazy.
But if you understand the history of Nike and Adi sneakers in the NBA, it is not surprising.
In the earliest days of the NBA, the main brands of the league's endorsement sneakers were Converse and Adi, not Nike.
And at that time endorsement contracts were basically $100,000 a year, which accounted for a very small portion of players' income.
Until, um, the most popular man, Michael Jordan appeared again.
The appearance of Jordan completely changed this situation. After asking Adi for a one-year endorsement contract of 500,000, Nike took the opportunity to win and created the top brand of personal basketball shoes, AJ.
After that, Jordan dominated the basketball court, and Nike dominated the sneaker market.
Until Jordan retired, the situation began to change gradually.
Adi began to devote his energy to the younger generation of the league, and then waited until they came out, McGrady, Kobe, Garnett...including Sun Hao.
In the current NBA sneaker market, even though Jordan's influence is still there, Adi has actually taken advantage.
Especially with the advent of the classic sneaker "AdidasSH95", Adidas has the absolute upper hand.
Ever since, enduring hard to learn from Adi, he began to invest in young people.
James is the main target.
The Chosen Son with "hosen.1" printed on its back is their top card against Sun Hao and Adi in the future.
So looking at it this way, the contract they signed with James is not so strange.
Well, all in all, James certainly doesn't lack money in his pocket at the moment.
When the camera was given to James, there was also a burst of cheers.
The league has just announced the results of the lottery draft, and the 2003 rookie class is now the most interesting time.
James is also a hot candidate to compete with Anthony for the No. 1 pick. It's hard not to attract attention.
Of course, this is not the first time James has come to Dallas to watch.
The last time he appeared on the scene was also a game against the Lakers. At that time, he said that he was not watching OK, but watching Sun Hao play.
In other words, James is a fan of Sun Hao in private.
This is to support Sun Hao on the spot, that is, to support the Mavericks. The Mavericks fans must be happy too.
Sun Hao went to the sidelines to chat with Scarlett, and then met James again.
Your Tao tonight, I have wrapped it!
After the opening ceremony, the two teams appeared one after another.
On the Mavericks' side, Sun Hao and Bell on the outside, Body Loga and Nowitzki on the striker, and center Dampier.
On the Lakers side, Fisher and Kobe on the outside, Devin George and Robert Horry on the front, and O'Neal at center.
One more thing to mention here, because of the poor performance, last season and most of this season's team power forward Samaki Walker has been abandoned by Phil Jackson, veteran Horry took on more important tasks.
However, it is worth mentioning that Horry, who has always been accurate outside the field and known for his space power forwards, shot only 28.8% from the three-point line in the regular season.
In the playoffs, well, that number has become 5.3%, averaging 3.2 shots per game and 0.2 hits per game...
With O'Neal inside, he had to shoot more outside, but he just couldn't make it.
In addition to the conflict between Kobe and O'Neal this season, the Lakers have a more important reason for the poor state of the role players.
In addition to Fisher and Fox who still maintain a high level, the others are really arguing.
Such performance even made O'Neal unable to help but complain in the middle of the season: Find me ten teammates who want to win!
The reason why the performance is so bad is that on the one hand, the mentality of the players has changed after three consecutive championships, and on the other hand, Kobe's crazy shots.
Everyone who has played knows that if the core of the team does not pass the ball, the state of the teammates is very difficult.
In addition, Fox, one of the two good performers, fought for the injury season reimbursement in the crucial fourth game of the Timberwolves in the first round.
For the Mavericks, this year is their chance for revenge, and also their best chance for revenge.
Before the game began, the Mavericks players appeared on the field.
Sun Hao turned his head and glanced, and felt the flame in the eyes of his teammates, including Dampier.
Burning fire of revenge!
bring it on!
"beep!"
With the whistle of the game and the cheers of the fans on the spot, Dampier took the lead and dialed the ball back to the Mavericks halftime.
Bodi Luoga caught the ball quickly, and then gave it to Sun Hao.
The Mavericks have a chance to take the lead!
"Come on! Mavericks!"
The enthusiasm of the fans is high, and the game has just begun, they can't wait to cheer for the home team.
After Sun Hao signaled to open the frontcourt, he then signaled Nowitzki to mention the three-point pick and roll.
There is a saying that you know what you are going to do if you pat your between old couples and old wives.
The Mavericks have not played less games with the Lakers in the past two years, especially since they played seven games in the playoffs last year. They already know the bottom line.
The Lakers know what weaknesses the Mavericks have, and the Mavericks naturally also know the Lakers.
After O'Neal gained weight, the inside deterrence was stronger, but the problems that followed were the same as those after Yao Ming gained weight.
This makes the Lakers' perimeter and even mid-range defense can only rely on other players.
This is a point, a point that already appeared last season.
Of course, there is another point, which is the poor state of the Lakers role players.
In fact, experts have already analyzed these before the end of the season.
Mid-range jumpers after pick-and-rolls by guards and centers near the free throw line, as well as avoiding Kobe and O'Neal, and grabbing other role players are the best way to beat the Lakers.
Why would experts study this? Because the Lakers are a national enemy!
Sun Hao naturally knew this, so as soon as he came up, he avoided O'Neal and caught the Lakers' worst role player.
Well, the best jigsaw puzzle in history, this season's diarrhea jigsaw Robert Horry.
One pick-and-roll, Sun Hao and Nowitzki's pick-and-roll coordination has become more adept.
The Lakers' choice in the face of the pick-and-roll is to switch defenses.
Phil Jackson also predicted this, and loudly reminded Horry to expand.
However, Sun Hao took a step outside after taking it apart, followed by a beautiful lob.
When the [Five Shooting Guards] hidden mission was triggered before, Sun Hao was still complaining about the system confusion.
But now, he has started to smell really good.
With the addition of the "Pick and Roll Pass Master", the ball was steadily delivered to Nowitzki.
Do you think I am going to fight Horry? Actually I want to play Nowitzki!
Nowitzki took a mid-range shot against Fisher, who was at least one head shorter than himself.
He didn't feel any defensive interference.
"Huh!"
There was a silky arc, and the ball didn't even touch the basket.
Dove patted his thigh again, calling out that he had found the endorsement duo.
In fact, Nowitzki's state this year, including entering the playoffs, has not been bad.
When fighting the Warriors, it was because Sun Hao had a higher success rate in fighting Nash, so he gave up his shot.
But in fact, his condition has been getting better!
The Mavericks, come out on top!
On the spot, the cheers continue!
Although it was just an offense, the Mavericks played very smoothly and very targeted.
Who dares to say now that the Mavericks will not play positions? !
Break his head to pieces!
The Lakers advanced to halftime, and Fisher signaled O'Neal for a position.
O'Neill...it's difficult.
Dampier did not ask for the position immediately, but fought him in various ways.
Trying to go forward, physical confrontation, and small movements, O'Neill can't get to the position comfortably.
In fact, although Dampier's performance in the first round was mediocre, his season performance was still very good.
Especially because Cuban is full of pride and has dedicated training coaches for everyone.
Dampier's match is naturally in terms of strength and confrontation.
He directly uses the bench press equipment to practice strength!
And "Silver Fox" Harris is also teaching him how to defend O'Neal.
Against the peak of O'Neal, he wants to win one-on-one, even if it is like Battelle before, it can't rely on strength.
As long as O'Neal receives the ball in a comfortable position, it doesn't matter who comes.
So the key to defending O'Neal is not whether he can stand it or not, but whether he can be comfortable in place.
Harris knows this, and our director Zhang Weiping also understands it, and even gave it a very big name: Net Shark.
As the name suggests, if the big shark is caught in the net to prevent it from opening his mouth, its hurting power will naturally decrease.
Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the players facing him can at least not lose the wind in the confrontation, otherwise everything will be useless.
Dampier, just the right person.
Fisher gave the ball to Kobe, and Kobe implemented Fisher's ideas and then dropped the ball to O'Neal.
It's just that he, who doesn't like passing the ball too much, didn't pay too much attention to the pass. Just when he passed it, the weak-side Body Loga had quietly walked over.
The moment he grabbed his pass~EbookFREE.me~ Snap! "
Cut the ball directly!
Body Loga didn't stop for a moment after stealing, a fisher who dribbled the ball from behind, and then a long throw to Sun Hao who was almost off.
Sun Hao stepped on AdidasSH95 to walk vigorously, like the monkey on the logo, castrated like a rainbow.
When he rushed to the front court, he stepped into the air on somersault clouds.
"Boom!"
A heavy dunk with both hands slammed the ball into the basket.
After dunking, Sun Hao landed, beat his chest and roared!
Dallas Carter!
Burning fire of revenge!
ps: Ask for a monthly pass!
