Chapter 45 Major Basic Skills
Whether Mitch Kupchak made an offer to Cuban, we don't know, we only know that Cuban sternly stated at the press conference the next day that Dirk Nowitzki is the only non-sale item for the Dallas Mavericks.

After the Lakers defeated the Spurs, they continued to capsize in the gutter. They challenged the Denver Nuggets in an away game. Mason, who was released from the ban and came back, was shot into a sieve by the opposing Voshan Leonard. Leonard made all 5 three-pointers With 35 points and 29 points from Van Exel, the Nuggets upset the Lakers.

In the next Los Angeles Derby, the Clippers played well. Brand had 22 points and 15 rebounds, Odom had 18 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Maggette had 21 points, and Quentin Richardson made 4 shots. Three points scored 16 points, and even the parallel import champion Olowokandi had a double-double performance of 10 points and 12 rebounds. Except for Miles, who was not satisfactory, the other players were considered to have a full-scale explosion.The Clippers gave the Lakers a big defeat 112-96.

The Lakers, who have lost two games in a row, have been overtaken by the Kings who have been racing all the way in the record rankings, falling to second place in the Western Conference.Urgently in need of a turnaround, they will face the challenge of the San Antonio Spurs for the second time after a week.

The last time the two teams met, both Steve Smith and Tony Parker of the Spurs were absent due to injuries. The Spurs had long-term discharge of Laron Profit and Charles Smith on the development league level wing. The result is also obvious. After being mercilessly blown away by Kobe, the Spurs suffered a fiasco at home.

This time as a guest in Los Angeles, the Spurs ushered in the comeback of Parker and Smith. Nurse also named the best point guard player in this draft.What's interesting is that the draft picks of the three are very close, and they are all at the end of the first round.

The Spurs' offense is far from as smooth as it was more than a decade later. To some extent, when you have a Tim Duncan at his peak on your team, you just hand him the ball and shout 666 That's it.

Facing Ben Wallace's defense, Duncan perfectly took advantage of his height and wingspan. After receiving a lob in the low position on the left, he made a fake shoulder shake to the left. Turn around, raise your arms high, shoot the ball, hit the board.

The other member of the twin towers, Admiral David Robinson, is in a bad situation now. The 36-year-old admiral still has sculptural muscle lines that are envied by countless people, but the erosion of the years has taken him away. The flexibility and explosiveness that once left Jordan Pippen behind.

O'Neal's weight is almost 100 pounds heavier than David Robinson. The admiral can't stop the shark from taking the ball with his back to the basket. He can only use his own experience to interfere with O'Neal and try to force O'Neal to turn to the other side. .

Just dunking is not enough to become the overlord of the basket. After receiving the ball, O'Neal turned around and turned to the middle, preparing to use a small hook with his left hand to end the attack, while his right hand held David Robinson so that he was not enough to interfere To this shot.

Another figure dressed in black appeared, taller but stronger. It was Duncan. He helped defend the basket in time and stretched out his long arms to try to block O'Neal's shot.

O'Neal was disturbed by Duncan's defense and missed the hook shot.

Duncan turned around to grab the rebound, but to his surprise, Big Ben had already grabbed the position while he was assisting in the defense. He jumped up on the spot and directly stuffed the popped basketball back into the basket with his left hand!
Big Ben and O'Neal clapped their hands after landing, and the two retreated to the half-court defense.

Duncan picked up the basketball on the ground and sent it to Parker expressionlessly.

Since Duncan entered the league in 97, the Spurs' insiders have been one of the few that can compete with O'Neal. The combination of Duncan and Robinson often caused headaches for the Sharks who were fighting alone.But now, with the aging of Robinson and the addition of Ben Wallace, the Spurs are getting more and more difficult inside.

As for the outside line, Steve Smith five years ago was still considered a good player in the league.

At that time, there was a non-famous NBA commentator named John Jackson. He once selected five candidates who were most suitable for defending Jordan. Among them, Steve Smith ranked first, crushing Rock Richmond, Glove Payton, Penny Hardaway and the glider Drexler and many other masters.

Today's Steve Smith, however, has [-] martial arts skills, knows everything, and is not good at anything. The defense he relies on to run the house is not as stable as before. Kobe, who is excellent in sudden shots, has no good way.

Another wing player, Charles Smith, was even worse. As a student of Duncan's class, he has changed three teams in four years and was sent to the Development League for a long time.He's getting playing time purely because Laron Proffit is even less reliable.

Jim took the bottom line and hired both Stephen Jackson and Bruce Bowen, who should have been in the Spurs, to the Lakers, which also considered weakening the opponent.

The Lakers took the initiative on the field, but the only problem was that Derek Fisher couldn't keep up with Parker's lightning speed. Can see some teammates, at least pass the ball to Duncan.

The Lakers' defense was messed up by Parker. Duncan received consecutive sudden points from Parker, attracted the defense and then assisted Smith and Robinson.

Zen Master had no choice but to replace Fisher, put on Bowen to match Steve Smith, and sent Kobe to mark Parker.

Kobe's defense is full of viscosity and full of attack.Parker could no longer break through as easily as before. When he lost his mind for a moment, the ball was almost stolen by Kobe. After barely saving the ball from the edge of a mistake, Parker passed the ball to Robinson who came to respond like a dynamite package.

Robinson stands near the free throw line, where the former admiral can use seven or eight offensive methods to easily deal with opponents, but now that his physical function has declined, he can no longer ignore defense like the seven-foot small forward back then.Looking at O'Neal who was in front of him, Robinson still chose to hang the ball to Duncan on the left.

Duncan still swayed his shoulders to the left in the same way. Daben, who had suffered a loss once, did not act rashly this time. He lowered his center of gravity and waited for it, ready to block Duncan's next back-and-forth mid-range shot.

As a result, Duncan turned the fake action into a real action, turned around directly, and scored with a half-hook with his right hand.

Big Ben clenched his right hand and hammered his left hand in frustration.
