Almighty legend life

Chapter 617 A Dramatic Reunion

"Hey LaBeouf, how's it going with Vladimir?"

"It's not bad, kid. Although this guy has a stubborn mouth sometimes, he is a good guy. We often go fishing, haha."

"That's good, LaBeouf, I'm relieved that you're getting along well. I'm going to get busy next time. Do you have any travel plans?"

"It's okay, go to your business, beat those people's butts, especially the Lakers, I'm a Mavericks fan now, haha, Vladimir and I are going to go to the Great Lakes next time, there It is said that there are quite a few fishing competitions."

After the preseason ended, Liu Han had no time to rest. He was in the final joint practice with his teammates from the Mavericks. He was worried that LaBeouf would have conflicts with Vladimir. After all, they were both his "prospective father-in-law". But now it seems that these two have plans to devote themselves to the great cause of fishing, so it is estimated that there will be no trouble.

But as LaBeouf said on the phone, Liu Han will encounter an embarrassing start to the regular season, because his first opponent with the Mavericks is the Los Angeles Lakers.

The NBA has never concealed its manipulation of the game schedule. Although in the playoffs it still depends on the strength of each team, but in the regular season, the league often arranges it at the very beginning or on special days such as Christmas. Some games with huge repercussions, such as the collision between the Mavericks and the Lakers this season, will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.

The Mavericks have shocked the entire league by relying on Liu Han, whose strength has not declined at all, and the brand-new "running and bombing" tactics. The Lakers used to be Liu Han's old club, and they have gathered "F4" this season, and they have a big sweep The state of the league, the meeting of these two teams will undoubtedly spark a huge discussion.

"Dirk, are you imitating my shot?"

During training, Liu Han found that Nowitzki's three-point shooting rate has dropped rapidly recently.

After Liu Han came to the Mavericks, relying on his super strength and sincere treatment of others, he quickly won the welcome of everyone in the Mavericks. They are under the feet of Liu Han, so the atmosphere in the Mavericks team is good now. Many players have begun to learn Liu Han's movements unconsciously. They hope to make up for the gap between themselves and Liu Han through this learning.

"Yes, Liu, I feel that your shots are very straightforward, making it difficult for opponents to defend, so I want to learn, but I don't know why it always feels wrong."

"Dirk, I don't think you need to learn my moves. I shoot faster because I need to avoid the opponent's defense. You also know that generally the opponents defend me are players with better defense, so I must be fast. Shooting, but you don’t have to do this. You have height, and if you add a proper back, it is difficult for ordinary defenders to prevent your shooting, so you don’t need to pursue the speed of the shot, but increase the stability and anti-jamming capabilities."

For Nowitzki, Liu Han actually quite admires it. Few players with such a height have such a soft touch, especially in the current league, where most inside players tend to work in blue-collar jobs. Nowitzki A player like Tzky is an oddity in the league.

"Thank you, Liu, what you said makes sense, but I still want to give it a try."

Nowitzki showed his stubborn side of the Germans at this time, and he still felt that he should give it a try.

The Mavericks are very active in preparing for the game. Everyone, including Cuban, is working hard this year, but there has been a lot of disputes on the Lakers side.

George Crent and the management of the Lakers had great conflicts before the start of the preseason. In the end, all the conflicts broke out before the start of the regular season. George fired the "squid" of the Lakers with a letter of resignation. He couldn't stand the unreasonable troubles of the two sons and daughters of Bath anymore, let Phil Jackson endure it.

After George resigned, he called Liu Han. He said on the phone that he needed to take a break.

Unsurprisingly, Phil Jackson became the new coach of the Lakers, but his new position is not very secure. First of all, O'Neill has a lot of opinions on Jackson. The feelings are very deep.

That's not to mention, Gary Payton is not too cold about Phil Jackson, Gary Payton always feels that Phil Jackson is "pretending to be X" all the time, which makes him feel disgusting.

Not to mention the change of coaches on the Lakers side, they have also fallen into an unfavorable situation of discord between the new coach and the veteran.

On October 2003, 10, the NBA regular season started as scheduled. The Mavericks will go to Los Angeles for an away game.

When he came to Los Angeles again, Liu Han felt complicated. He grew up here gradually. He originally thought that he would die here and become a legend, but so many stories happened.

Staples Arena, this arena was just put into use when Liu Han left, but now, this arena is already a well-known arena in the league.

During the warm-up between the two sides, Liu Han greeted some people from the Lakers team, and even greeted Hollywood Lakers fans such as Jack Nicholson in the Lakers auditorium. These people were also very fond of Liu Han. familiar.

This game was Phil Jackson's first game coaching the Lakers. He didn't want to lose, but seeing the oriental man he hated the most communicate with the Lakers and the audience on the field, Jackson felt guilty again. He had seen that person In the preseason, although he didn't play much time, Phil Jackson found that that person was better than before, and such a player made him have to worry.

The game has officially started, and the Mavericks still have the same lineup as in the preseason. There is almost no defense in the interior, and there is no pure center.

The "F4" of the Lakers also appeared on the stage. Gary Payton served as the point guard and Fisher served as the shooting guard. This player participated in the draft in the same year as Liu Han. He was selected by the Nuggets in No.20 in the first round. , and Liu Han was selected by the Lakers at No. 24, but after Liu Han left, Fisher came to the Lakers through a trade.

Michael Finley has gradually become the outside core of the Lakers through honing in the past few years. His shooting ability and assault ability can be regarded as very good among players in the same class.

Karl Malone is naturally at the power forward position. Although he is 40 years old, his body is well maintained.

O'Neill is now much "bigger" than before. Although George has been paying attention to O'Neill's weight, but because he has a serious sugar addiction, he weighs a lot more than before.

Compared with the Lakers' lineup, the Mavericks' lineup looks much thinner. Except for Liu Han, no one else is considered a very famous player.
