I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 191

Dallas, American Airlines Center.

Duang! Duang! Duang!

At this time, the training hall was very lively, and the sound of blacksmithing kept ringing out one after another.

"Li, stop for a second, Mr. Nelson wants you to go to the general manager's office." Nash came to the sidelines and shouted.

Li Xuan, who was practicing a flip-back jump shot, stopped what he was doing and asked, "Is there anything Mr. Nelson can do with me?"

"Li, are you playing golf stupidly, don't you know what day it is today?" Nash asked back.

Li Xuan thought for a while, today is New Year's Day, which is equivalent to Chinese New Year's Eve in Chou Country.

Is Little Nelson going to give himself a holiday gift?

Seeing that Li Xuan was deep in thought, Nash didn't want to be fooled, so he said, "Don't think about it anymore, today is the time for salary, let you go and collect the money."

Li Xuan came to his senses, smiled, and responded.

"So that's the case, that's a good thing!"

Immediately, Li Xuan bid farewell to Nash and walked to the general manager's office.

After knocking on the door and entering the office, Nelson Jr. spoke first, "Li, you are here, sign the salary slip quickly, and the salary will be on your card in a while, and you are the only one left now."

Li Xuan took the pay slip and signed his name.

"You guy, you don't take the initiative to collect money. Those guys run towards me as soon as they come to the arena. They look like a bunch of starving ghosts." Little Nelson complained.

"Li, don't imitate them. I know some players quickly spend all the money they get, borrow it from teammates when they don't have money, and even go to convenience stores to do odd jobs. That's really embarrassing."

Li Xuan smiled and didn't speak, but nodded. He still heard about these things.

"Mr. Nelson, I'm leaving as soon as I have nothing to do."

Seeing Nelson waving his hand, Li Xuan turned and left the office to continue training on the training ground.

On the way, Li Xuan happened to bump into Nash and said, "Steve, go and inform the other teammates that I will treat them to supper tonight and fulfill my promise."

"Lee, there's no need to be so troublesome. It was just a joke at the time." Nash explained.

"Steve, it's okay, it's like celebrating the arrival of the New Year, and I have to celebrate when I won the best player honor." Li Xuan said.

Seeing that Li Xuan was so persistent, Nash nodded and went to inform other teammates.

After the other players were notified, they expressed that they would go to join the party. Only a few players had something to do at home and regretted missing the dinner.

Time passed quickly, and after completing a day's daily training, Li Xuan summoned his teammates and drove to a high-end restaurant.

"Everyone is free to eat, Mr. Li will pay for tonight's consumption!"

The players of the Mavericks all laughed, and instead of being polite to Li Xuan, they ordered their favorite dishes, and then chatted and laughed about interesting things in life outside the NBA. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

This dinner further enhanced the cohesion of the team.

……

……

On May 1, at the American Airlines Center Arena.

Tonight, the Mavericks play at home against the visiting Toronto Raptors.

At this stage, the Raptors have achieved a record of 12 wins and 20 losses, ranking No. 11 in the Eastern Conference.

The head star Vince Carter averaged 22.5 points, 4.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game, shooting about 40% from the field, and his efficiency was quite satisfactory.

According to gossip, due to his poor record, Carter has been dissatisfied with the management's reinforcement operation and forced the Palace management to trade him.

In fact, the Raptors' lineup is not bad. Although the performance of the fifth pick Bosh is not as eye-catching as Li Xuan and James, he is worthy of the fifth pick.

Bosh is currently averaging 11.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, ranking fifth on the rookie list.

But Carter can't wait for Bosh to grow up, and wants to join a team that can compete for the championship and hit the championship.

Under such circumstances, the Raptors with internal and external troubles played against the Mavericks with high morale, and the result is self-evident.

The Mavericks won the game 104-82 without bloodshed.

Although the Raptors ended in a disastrous defeat, Carter still had an amazing performance.

In a transition attack, Carter rushed into the penalty area, received a pass, soared into the air, leaped over Jamison and dunked the ball in, and was elected the best goal of the game.

Li Xuan was also stunned on the bench, envious of Carter's incredible jumping ability.

"Although it's not a death barrier, it's still very heaven-defying!"

Not long after, Li Xuan also staged a explosive buckle.

While grabbing an offensive rebound, Li Xuan triggered the effect of the skill [Skipping King], grabbed the basketball, and dunked the ball into the basket through Raptors power forward Donyell Marshall.

After Li Xuan dunked the basket and landed, he turned his head and looked at Carter. The two of them showed bright smiles tacitly. This may be the sympathy between the dunkers!

After the game, Li Xuan got his wish and exchanged phone numbers with Carter, and got acquainted with a fierce player in the league.

In this game, Li Xuan still played steadily. In 32 minutes of playing, he scored 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

猛龙队方面，卡特投篮21投10中，其中三分球3投1中，罚球4罚3中，获得24分6篮板4助攻的全面数据。

After the game with the Raptors, the Mavericks flew to Oakland overnight and won back-to-back again.

Facing the big team, the Golden State Warriors, the Mavericks clocked in three quarters.

After the start of the game, the Mavericks took an absolute lead in just one quarter.

In a single quarter, the Mavericks hit a total of 15 three-pointers, confirming the lead with a 45-16 disparity.

In the whole game, the Mavericks scored 25 three-pointers, breaking the NBA single-game three-pointer record.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 142 to 101, winning 8 consecutive victories.

数据方面，李轩上场30分钟，三分球10投7中，砍下34分12篮板2抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

勇士队方面，理查德森投篮20投9中，其中三分球3投1中，罚球4罚3中，得到22分6篮板3助攻的全面数据。

After defeating the Warriors, the Mavericks defeated the Suns and Clippers one after another, raising their winning streak to 10 games.

The next game, the Mavericks will return home to face the visiting Detroit Pistons.

The two sides played so fiercely in the first game, and when they meet again, there will definitely be different sparks, and there are many things to watch.

The media reporters were like cats smelling fish, and they hyped before the game, which made the game more popular than the nationally broadcast game.

NBA Commissioner David Stern acted on his own, and immediately changed the game to a national live broadcast, and made a point of venting to the referee who whistled the game, resolutely that there should be no fights.

After everything is ready, this heated battle of revenge is about to kick off.
