NBA: Garnett at his peak at the start

On December 20, U.S. time, the Lakers faced the Mavericks at home.

This time the Mavericks' lineup is different from the last time.

Last time the Mavericks were Terry + Nils + Ssh Howard Witzky + Peel.

This time the Mavericks traded Daniels for Adrian Griffin.

As for strength, Adrian Griffin is indeed a little worse than Daniels.

Qi Ming thinks that the head coach of the Mavericks should want to train Daniels to become the team's super sixth man.

As for the Lakers, Bynum has basically sat firmly in the starting lineup, and when the Zen master gave Bynum enough playing time, his stats grew very quickly.

His stats in the last few games have changed from 2+1 to 7+5.

Bynum himself is really talented, with a perfect big center figure, and before he was injured, he also had a top bounce on the inside, and there have been a lot of empty catches in recent games, and he also has a soft feel that is rare for a big center.

Qi Ming remembered that the Lakers were also fully cultivated at that time, and Abdul-Jabbar taught him by hand, and he insisted on not exchanging Kidd for non-sale.

It's just that there is a problem with the "brain".

Soon, the game began.

At the beginning of the game, Dampier grabbed the jump ball, and Nowitzki hit Qi Ming with his back to score the ball.

Qi Ming's defense is already very good, but Nowitzkika's position is very good, and he can't do anything about it as soon as the ball is scored......

In the next round, Qi Ming also began to play back-to-back singles, and he hard-topped Nowitzki on the side, in terms of core strength, Qi Ming's core strength was still better.

So Nowitzki was quickly pushed a few steps.

Qi turned over and made a jumper, and the ball went in. "

Dirk and Qi started the game with two points each. "

The narrator said loudly.

If it goes on like this, it's going to be a very tight fight, and that's exactly what happened.

In the first quarter, Nowitzki's hand was bursting, and he slashed 14 angrily in a single quarter, Qi Ming cut points, and the old driver broke out, even if he was Qi Ming, it was useless......

Kobe Bryant's hand was amazing, scoring 12 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Lakers 32-28.

Nowitzki not only felt good in this quarter, but also was very accurate, and he had four assists in a single quarter.

To evaluate Nowitzki in one sentence, that is...... He's the one who played the game.

When the time came to the second quarter, Nowitzki's hand was still very hot, not only that, but Terry also hit three points in a row under the influence of Nowitzki.

Qi Ming and Kobe's feel has come down a lot.

At the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks led by 12 points.

Then, the Zen master began to try his best to lay out tactics for Kobe Bryant, and he must shoot if he has an open three-point opportunity!

In the third quarter, four minutes after the start of the game, the Lakers pulled back 4.

But as soon as the 4 bells passed, the Mavericks came with another wave of attack, and Nowitzki scored consecutive singles.

Qi Ming has worked hard to prevent it, but now Nowitzki's state is no longer a question of whether he can prevent it well, but how to extinguish his unreasonable touch!

However, Nowitzki's hand was hard to chill.

Qi Ming scored 2 points in the third quarter, but Nowitzki scored 39 points, and Nowitzki has already played his offensive ability to the fullest!

After three quarters, the Lakers trailed by 22 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks directly replaced the bench, but the Lakers did not give up, because it was a winning streak after all.

If you win, you're on a 13-game winning streak......

It's a pity that when the Lakers chased the difference to 16 points, the Mavericks went directly to the starting lineup.

In the end, the Lakers lost to the Mavericks 93-110 at home.

The difference is as high as 17 points.

After this game, everyone was a little decadent, and so was Qi Ming.

Although Qi Ming scored 25 points, his shooting rate in this game was only 50%, which was indeed very low for Qi Ming himself.

Of course, the biggest reason why Qi Ming was unhappy was because the winning streak was interrupted, and he finally played a 12-game winning streak, defeating the Spurs, Mavericks, Rockets, Raptors and other teams, but this time the winning streak was interrupted by the Mavericks.

Moreover, they have won the Mavericks once before on the road.

In fact, there are many reasons for losing, poor performance is one thing, and laxity is also another.

A winning streak always makes players feel a kind of fatigue with victory, and Qi Ming also feels this exhaustion.

It's like in the NBA...... What is the reason why it is so difficult to appear three consecutive championships.

Every time a team wins a second in a row, many of its players get that kind of championship fatigue.

When the first championship was won, all the players were in high spirits, and the princes and generals would rather have a kind of ......

Winning the second title proves that they are not a phenomenal team.

By the time it comes to the third crown, a lot of players won't have that kind of clear goal to strive for.

Just like O'Neal back then, he felt that it was enough after winning three consecutive championships, and then refused to train and did not reach the finals in 03...... Ended up going to the Heat.

However, O'Neal's mentality is much better, because he is very obsessed with three consecutive championships!

He's a little less tired than the average player.

The same was true of the Bulls back then, if it weren't for Jordan, the conflicted Bulls wouldn't have won the 1998 championship......
