Chapter 77 Back-to-back Chinese Derby, All-Star Weekend

"Brother, welcome to my place."

On February 2, Dunn followed the Lakers to Miami and met Wade soon.

Compared with two months ago, Wade seems to have become a lot more confident at this time.

Dunn thought that Wade would at most treat him to a big meal like he did in Los Angeles before.

Unexpectedly, Wade had a sex change, and spent a lot of money on a yacht, and called a group of Latin dancers and models to accompany Du En on a trip.

Half a week ago, Du En was still admiring the snow scenery in Philadelphia. At this time, he came to Miami, where the temperature was as high as 20 degrees under the sun, and he suddenly felt a bit heatstroke.

In short, the whole person is dizzy, and seems to only remember that the waves in Miami are very big, very white, very salty, and very moist...

Fortunately, Du En is young and strong, with good physical fitness and relatively strong recovery ability. By the next morning, the symptoms of heatstroke seemed to have disappeared.

Speaking of the recent period, although Dunn played consecutive away games, his physical bottleneck seemed to be exhausted, and it was broken unconsciously.

In a game with 37 to 40 minutes of playing time, Duan rarely appeared to be unable to do his best and showed his hips stretched.

Presumably, tonight will be the same.Dunn will use an all-out game to repay his good brother Wade.

The time came to 5 pm in a blink of an eye, and the Lakers arrived at the American Airlines Arena and began to warm up and prepare for the evening game.

"Dunn, I never had a chance to say thank you.

If you didn't let Dwyane take care of me, I might continue to be squeezed out by my teammates like I was in the Clippers before.

I'm afraid it's because of you that I can appear tonight, right? "

When Dunn arrived at the American Airlines Arena, Wang Zhizhi had already been practicing in the arena.

After seeing Du En, he took the initiative to greet him and said thank you.

"These are small things to me.

You are the senior. Without pioneers like you, Yao Ming and I would not be where we are today.

I just hope you don't get discouraged. The limelight has passed. I believe the men's basketball team and domestic fans will accept you again.

I also hope that one day I can fight side by side with you and win glory for the motherland together.

I only hope that you can overcome the current difficulties, practice hard, play hard, and try your best to improve yourself in the NBA! "

Du En just gave a few simple words of encouragement, but it seemed that these words hit Wang Zhizhi's tears, making Wang Zhizhi unable to help himself and burst into tears.

Seeing this situation, Du En told Wang Zhizhi that he was going back to warm up, and then left.

The time soon came to 7:[-] in the evening, and the starting players of the two teams had already appeared.

It is worth mentioning that Wade was the last player among the ten starters in the game.

It's no wonder that Wade's personality and aura have changed, and he suddenly became confident, and he also knows that young yacht models entertain good brothers.

After playing for half a season, the Heat only had a record of 21 wins and 31 losses under the leadership of Odom and Eddie Jones.

After struggling for so long, Riley finally figured it out and established Wade's status as the boss of the team.

However, Wade is not strong enough now, and the Heat are not building a team around Wade. Wade has become the boss of the Heat, and he just gets more ball rights.

Dunn knew that with Wade's current ability, there was no way to kill the Lakers for the time being.

So he didn't defend Wade, but chose to lock Eddie Jones.

This season, Duane and Kobe have privately competed in more than [-] one-on-one games, and now they have digested the Pippen template and guarded Eddie Jones.
It was also because Dunn locked Eddie Jones, causing him to make 13 of 4 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 2 free throws. He only scored 11 points, and the Heat's mini Big Three lost one point.

Coupled with O'Neal's destruction of the basket, he once again scored a huge double-double of 29 points and 15 rebounds.

The Lakers easily defeated the Heat 95 to 86.

再说中国德比这方面，杜恩16投9中，三分6投2中，罚球5投4中，砍下了24分7篮板8助攻的准三双数据。

Wang Zhizhi only played 13 minutes, and he couldn't compare with Du En in terms of team status and possession of the ball.

However, with his own efforts, he made 4 of 2 shots and scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

"Dune, see you in Los Angeles!"

"Don't worry, Dwyane, I will definitely not treat you badly then."

"That's a good relationship. I look forward to the program you arranged."

After the game, Dunn and Wade walked towards each other, hugged and said goodbye.

Wade lost the game, but with a smile on his face, he was clearly looking forward to the upcoming All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.

After bidding farewell to Wade, Dunn, like other teammates, quickly returned to the locker room, took a shower, and then took the bus to the airport.

The Lakers' seven-game streak with the Devils is about to come to an end, but the last game was played in Houston, and it was back-to-back games.

For Dunn, this is the back-to-back Chinese Derby.

So far this season, the Rockets have accumulated 29 wins and 22 losses.

Even with such an excellent record, they can only rank seventh in the Western Conference.

This shows how fierce the competition in the Wild West is!
In fact, the strength gap between the teams in the Western Conference is not very big. In many cases, the top four teams in the Western Conference will also lose to the last four teams in the playoffs.

The next back-to-back game from the East to the West is also a great test for the No. [-] team in the West like the Lakers.

It is worth mentioning that Kobe will return to the team in the next game.

This means that even if the schedule is tough, the Lakers are not impossible to win.

At 2 p.m. on Feb. 11, the Lakers starters made their debut at the Toyota Center.

The Lakers' five-star lineup, except for Malone's absence due to injury, the remaining four were all present.

This is actually a lot of pressure on the Rockets.

After the game started, as before, it was Duane who guarded Francis, Payton guarded Mobley, and Kobe locked down Jim Jackson.

Although I have experience in defending Francis once, it is still a bit difficult to meet Francis' weird breakthrough rhythm.

As early as the first quarter, Francis scored 8 points in the face of Duan's defense.

However, Duan also used the pick-and-roll to switch in front of Francis and use offense to consume Francis's energy.

In terms of scoring, Duane made 5 of 3 shots in the first quarter, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 7 points.

At the same time, Kobe, who had just returned, was very energetic. Not only did he hold Jim Jackson to death on the defensive end, but he also made 7 of 3 shots on the offensive end, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 10 points in a single quarter.

As for O'Neal, because Kobe wanted to get the ball, Duan passed the ball to O'Neal less often. Therefore, O'Neal only scored 4 points in the first quarter.

Therefore, it is obvious and natural that O'Neal and Kobe will have conflicts.

28 to 23, the Lakers led the Rockets by 5 points after the first quarter.

However, in the second quarter, Kobe, who had just returned, had not yet found his touch, but he was too energetic, causing the Lakers to waste a lot of the ball.

In addition, O'Neal played back-to-back, and the defensive end was inevitably a little weak.

And Yao Ming can not only attack at the basket, but also pull out to shoot from the mid-range. O'Neal is not easy to defend against Yao Ming's type.

Relying on Yao Ming's 12 points in the second quarter, the Rockets reversed the score in one fell swoop, 49 to 51, and entered the second half with a 2-point advantage.

By the third quarter, the atmosphere of the game was in a state of anxiety from the very beginning.

The two teams overtook each other and refused to give in to each other. At the end of the third quarter, Cobra Grant suddenly kicked the coffin board and helped the Lakers make two consecutive three-pointers.

An old house where a treasure!This season, the Lakers are not only led by the Big Five, but also some experienced veterans.

Usually, these veterans look lifeless, either fishing or paddling, or playing health-preserving basketball.But when the critical moment comes, your uncle is still your uncle!
81 to 77, the Lakers had a 4-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

And relying on Duane and Payton to lead the team, the Rockets did not have very good defensive resources outside, and the point difference was once stretched to 11 points.

Tonight, Van Gundy Jr. finally remembered that there was Yao Ming on the bench, but in the fourth quarter, Yao Ming's performance was often not as good as in the first three quarters.

He made 5 of 2 shots and 6 of 5 free throws. Yao Ming came off the bench in the fourth quarter and scored 7 points in more than 9 minutes. Compared with the past, he was brave, but he still couldn't help the Rockets win.

Relying on the flawless perimeter defense of Payton, Kobe, and Duane, the Lakers made it impossible for the Rockets to score efficiently from the perimeter.

Kobe, who realized that his offense seemed to be dragging down the team, also took fewer shots in the fourth quarter.

In addition, Rockets head coach Van Gundy did not think of cutting off the shark to chase the ball until the last minute, but this was obviously still a step too late.

98 to 93, the Lakers defeated the Rockets by 5 points, with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss, ending the devil's seven-game streak.

And then return to Los Angeles, ushered in the All-Star Weekend!
