Chapter 48 Stunning debut, MVP!

"I'm going, why are you so tall?"

"No way, the NBA opening game, and tickets to the Staples Center, it's hard to grab!

When I did it, only the top of the mountain was left!

Moreover, the mountain top ticket is cheap!
For international students like us, we save food and money just to watch a football game, and we can’t afford the ones that are too expensive. The mountain top ticket is the best deal! "

"how much?"

"A piece of 29, a beautiful knife!"

"Those two cards can't be 58? The boss is arrogant!"

Staples Center, the opening game of the 03-04 season, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks game is about to start.

Two Chinese students were looking around at the top of the arena, yelling.

"Okay, just go back and treat me to a nice meal!"

"By the way, it's so far away, how can I see the ball? I can't see clearly at all!"

"Why can't you see clearly? You must be able to see clearly.

You have to watch the game often, and you can definitely see the numbers of the players on the court and know who is playing on the court.

If you want to see the details of the game, you can look up. Isn't there a big screen hanging on the ceiling?

Just look at the big screen!The big screen is basically synchronized with the scene! "

"The resolution is not high, it's better to go back to the apartment and watch live TV!"

"Can it be the same? This is the scene, just like watching a movie. Can the movie theater be the same as watching a video at home?

Besides, today is Dunn's NBA debut!And it was the opening game of the NBA03-04 season!

Let's come here, don't we have to commemorate it?Take a few photos and go back to show off.

If you are lucky enough to meet Du En and ask for an autograph or something, then you will be able to boast for a lifetime!
Du En is the number one defender in Asia!The summer league was played harder than Kobe's back then!
Have you watched Yao Ming play the opening game?But you can see Duane playing the opener right away! "

"You're right, the atmosphere here is really good, and I heard someone calling Duane.

Who wears jersey number 31?Could it be Duan?
There are a few Chinese over there, look over there!
It seems that many people came tonight to support Du En. "

"Yes, yes, Duan wears the No. 31 jersey, and we will stare at the No. 31 jersey later.

Whoops, turn off the lights, the game is about to start!

The two teams are going to send starters!Let me give you an introduction, the visiting team will play first.

This black man is Michael Finley, and this white man is Steve Nash.

There is also a German Dirk Nowitzki behind him, who is the troika of the Mavericks. "

"Come on, come on, the Lakers starting lineup is coming!
First out was Gary Payton, nicknamed The Glove.

Back then, when he showed off his wealth to Jordan and said he had enough money to buy a Ferrari, Jordan directly told him that his Ferrari was a gift from the manufacturer.

Damn it, Damn it, Duane!

Du En came out, and Du En went straight to the starting lineup!Awesome, damn it!

Payton is the point guard, followed by Duane, so Duane should be playing shooting guard.

Kobe doesn't play today, Duane takes Kobe's position, this is what the successor means!

Damn it, Du En is really awesome! "

"Is that awesome? Isn't Kobe the head of the Lakers? Didn't he win three championships with Shaquille O'Neal? Why didn't he play? Is he going to give way to Duane?"

"Kobe is involved in a lawsuit and cannot come today. It may be difficult for Du En to take over Kobe's class immediately.

But maybe in two years!Maybe when we graduate, the Lakers will be Duane's team!

Come on Duen, perform well and Kobe will not have to come back! "

Seeing Du En start the game, the two Chinese students on the top of the mountain were as excited as the other Chinese fans who came from afar.

But soon, they began to curse.

"Why is no one passing the ball to Duane? Will they play?"

"Didn't it mean that Kobe is the only one who doesn't pass the ball? What's the matter with the number 20 on the yellow jersey? Do they have any grudges?"

"Damn it, Payton, this is Payton, the bad Payton I just told you.

Payton, you really deserve it. Pass the ball to Duan!

You can’t even pass the ball, you’re so stupid!

Just keep casting, this is rushing to reincarnate! "

"Passed, finally passed, ah - it's iron! It's all Peyton's fault, the pass was passed too late!
If Kobe followed Payton all the time, couldn't touch the ball, finally got a ball, and passed the ball so late, he would definitely not be able to make a shot!
Payton, please save me some trouble and pass the ball to Duan as soon as possible, okay?
No, you go down and change to someone who can play!Zen Master, why are you asleep?Hurry up and call a timeout! "

"Look, isn't that the way to go? It has to be Ma Long!

Ma Long knows the ball and knows who can throw the ball in.

Just pass the ball to Duane. Is it that difficult to score? "

"Payton also understands, he should give the ball to Duane!
Look, this back hit, this iron mountain leaning, Dunn hit Nash after the pick and roll, isn't this a stable fortune?
Isn't this much better than Payton forcing himself to single Nash? "

"Steal Finley, awesome! Fast break, dunk! Dunn is awesome!
Don't think that if your name is Michael, I won't dare to snatch you. When Jordan comes, we can still defend!

See what it means to be the number one defender in Asia?This defense is awesome!

7 points, it's only half a quarter, Du En has a chance to score 10 points in the first quarter! "

"Damn it, is Zen Master mentally ill? Is Du En going down now?"
Doesn't this take advantage of the victory to pursue, get more points, and wait for the opponent to catch up?
Zen Master wouldn’t buy it, would he?Whoever has hot hands goes down, right? "

The Chinese fans at the scene were watching excitedly. Unexpectedly, the Mavericks called a timeout. After Duane returned to the bench, he disappeared from the court for the rest of the first quarter.

The words are divided into two ends, the Lakers bench.

"Du En, you played well! Just keep playing like this.

Next, you can play Steve Nash in a pick-and-roll mismatch, which is relatively easier to use to your advantage.

Of course, don't play too hastily, save a little energy for the second half.

Pay attention to your position and trust your teammates. "

When Du En left the field, the Zen master quietly gave new instructions.

Originally, Du En still had some resentment in his heart. Today was his NBA debut.

It was also the first game to replace Kobe Bryant as the Lakers' starting shooting guard in the opening game!
Duane must perform very maturely and outstandingly in front of the Lakers fans at the scene.

However, I learned with my own ears that he will play more important roles in the future, and his playing time will basically be tied to Nash, and he will focus on Nash's defensive loopholes to play, and the resentment in his heart immediately dissipated.

With easy ball playing, Dunn will naturally not be unhappy.

Just leave early when your hands are hot!I am someone who is willing to make sacrifices for the team!

"Brother, what do you want to eat? I'll send someone to buy it for you!"

O'Neill personally stepped forward to hand a towel to Du En, and then greeted Du En thoughtfully, what food would Du En want to supplement his strength.

The OK team is not here today, and Dunn must have played a lot of playing time.

In order to avoid lack of physical strength in the second half, it is normal to eat some fruit and snacks during the break between festivals.

Some players tend to eat burgers, barbecue, popcorn and the like during the intermission to satisfy their hunger.

Team locker rooms are also often stocked with energy-boosting cereal crackers, energy bars, chocolate, refreshing chewing gum, apple juice for hydration and vitamins, energy drinks, and chewy treats like protein gels.

"I want to eat fish! Get me some abalone."

"No problem, no problem, I'll call the hotel right now!"

While talking, O'Neill danced in front of Dunn, which was very funny.

However, Duan did not continue to focus on O'Neal, but paid close attention to the situation on the court.

Although the Mavericks' defense is not good, the offensive firepower is too fierce.

The head coach of the Mavericks is mad scientist Don Nelson. Today, the Mavericks feel a bit like the prototype of the Warriors Death Five.

There was no serious center on the court, so Dirk Nowitzki was asked to protect the frame on the defensive end, and Antoine Walker, who also participated in the draft in 96 and wore the No. 8 jersey, was the man.

On the offensive end, basically every position can shoot.

As long as Nash pushes up the fast break, switching offenses, shooting, and air cuts will all be successful.

The Lakers are also competing with the Mavericks for speed under the leadership of Payton.

But just relying on Payton and Malone to play duo, how can they beat the Mavericks who have been running in for several seasons?
If it weren't for Duane's strength in the first half of the first quarter, scoring 4 points on 3-for-7 shooting, the Lakers would have fallen behind the Mavericks by a lot in the first quarter alone.

By the time the first quarter was over, 27 to 24, the Lakers were still 3 points behind.

"Dunn, the abalone is on the way." O'Neill informed Duen during the break.

Du En didn't pay much attention: "After you come, let's put it in the locker room first, and I'll eat it during the intermission."

The second quarter of the game is about to start, and the Mavericks have a luxurious configuration. Nash, Josh Howard, Antawn Jamison, Edondo Najera and Walker are on the field.

There is also no serious center, so just take Walker as the top.

Now the Mavericks' problems are similar to those of the Lakers. The offensive end of the ball is not enough, and no one is available on the defensive end.

This means that the Mavericks' inner line protection frame is not high enough, so as long as Duane uses the pick-and-roll to get into the inner line, he can basically hit one shot.

"Josh, hang on to Duan and don't let him have a chance to shoot."

Before playing, Nelson also reminded Josh Howard, who was playing for the first time as a rookie.

One of the strong points of the Lakers' bench is Duane. Judging from the matchup situation in the summer league, Josh Howard's defense can effectively restrict Duane.

The old Nelson thought that as long as Josh Howard didn't wander off the court, the game would basically be stable.

Unexpectedly, not long after the game restarted, the point difference was chased back in an instant.

Josh Howard defends Dunn quite hard, but as a rookie, he still lacks experience in defending pick-and-rolls.

Duane used the pick-and-roll to switch to Nash. Relying on his explosive power and some strength from the ball protector during the breakthrough, Nash couldn't do anything to Duane, and Duane passed him all at once.

When Duane gets to the basket, Walker, who has average lateral speed and has no ability to protect the frame, has nothing to do with Duane.

Duen came up with a 2+1 to smooth out the point difference, and then repeated his old tricks and continued to target Nash.

On the defensive end, Dunn took the initiative to guard Jamison, and Fisher entangled Nash again. The Mavericks could only rely on the fat-headed Walker who likes to shoot and shoot birds to attack.

Walker has always been at the fifth position, his physical exertion is not small, and he likes to shoot wildly on the offensive end, so the frequency of hitting iron is naturally not small.

Only 4 minutes into the second quarter, the old Nelson couldn't stand it anymore. He replaced Nash and Walker, and it was time for Tony Delk and Nowitzki to play.

However, Nash at 191 can't guard Dunn, can Tony Delk at 185?Obviously it doesn’t work either!

The Mavericks' point guard and center defense problems are serious!
Duane's offensive characteristics are also suitable for playing against the Mavericks' defensive loopholes.

In the starting lineup, Duane is not the first offensive option, and because Payton holds the ball, he doesn't have much possession of the ball.

In the substitute lineup, no one competed with Du En for the ball, and Du En himself was fighting for the ball, rushing in with the dynamite bag, hitting every shot accurately.

Seeing that Du En was playing well, Zen Master directly held down Payton and Malone.

With three to four minutes left in the second quarter, some fans had already started chanting MVP!
Who said only New York fans would mutiny?In fact, Los Angeles fans are not all fans of the Lakers.

Many spectators who entered the Staples Center tonight were actually here to join in the fun.

And the Chinese are often the group that likes to join in the fun the most!

Seeing Du En's outstanding performance, before the end of the first half, almost 20 points, the Chinese fans were immediately proud and excited, cheering for Du En.

Other fans around the Chinese fans also joined in the fun and cheered for Du En.

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

With more than 2 minutes left in the second quarter, Du En was finally replaced by Zen Master.

The main reason is that the old Nelson made a lot of adjustments and strengthened the double-teaming of Dunn.

As Duane's physical strength declined, his offensive efficiency also dropped a lot.

Coupled with the fact that his teammates failed to seize the open opportunity, and the point difference was caught up again, Zen Master had to actively respond in order to maintain the Lakers' lead.

19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Duan made his NBA debut. He produced such gorgeous statistics in the first half alone!
When Du En came off the field, Master Jackson had to encourage Du En to have a good rest and strive to perform better in the second half.
