I am so Accurate

Now, they are getting married.

And this wedding is very different.

Kobe's parents didn't like it, and it can even be said that they didn't like Vanessa very much.

Vanessa is not African American, married too early now, doesn't like Vanessa's "personality", thinks she comes for money...

The reasons are too numerous to count.

It was not only his parents who opposed it, but everyone around Kobe.

His agent persuaded him to sign a prenuptial agreement, including Jordan and several NBA stars advised him to be cautious, and even Phil Jackson did not support him.

But at this time, Kobe just felt independent. He wanted to prove himself, challenge O'Neal, his parents, and even the whole world.

He rejected all proposals, including a prenuptial agreement, and proposed to Vanessa after last year's finals.

Even if it wasn't for the training in the summer, they would have been married at that time.

It was a bit late, but they got married anyway.

Only 12 people attended the wedding, except for the bodyguards, the rest were from the woman's family.

This is an unblessed wedding.

But in any case, the girl with Latin blood, Spanish speaking, and if placed in Texas would be the local "chocolate sweetheart" in the eyes of others, became Vanessa Bryant.

When Sun Hao saw the news, he was different from others and couldn't help but like Kobe.

Not only because he opened his eyes to know how good Vasani is to Kobe, but also because of this matter, these voices of opposition are really shameless.

To put it bluntly, it is Pride and Prejudice, but to put it bluntly, isn’t it blatant racism?

Greed for money and character are all excuses. Isn’t the biggest reason that people are Latino, which will pollute pure African-American black blood?

Of course, Sun Hao will not express it, because this topic is very sensitive in the United States.

And just like this incident itself was a small episode before the start of the playoffs, his focus was still on the upcoming playoffs.

The league was also in a hurry, announcing the ownership of the first batch of season awards before the start of the playoffs.

The best head coach and the most improved award.

There is little suspense about the best head coach.

Just like ESPN's pre-season predictions, no one expected that the 76ers would reach the top of the Eastern Conference this season, let alone almost become the league's first.

So this award was won by 76ers coach Larry Brown without any suspense.

This is also the first time in Brown's career that he won the NBA's best coach award.

He and Iverson have achieved each other this season.

There is no suspense about the Most Improved Award.

McGrady's scoring average for the Magic has increased from 15.4 points last season to 26.8 points this season, nearly doubling his scoring average.

After the end of these two last entertainment programs, the playoffs of the 2000~2001 season finally officially opened.

A total of four games were played on the first day.

The 76ers in the East played against the Pacers, the Bucks played against the Raptors, the Lakers played against the Timberwolves in the West, and the Kings played against the Jazz.

The Mavs didn't play on Day 1.

Old Nelson only arranged for daily training this day, and the game against the Trail Blazers was predictably fierce, and he didn't want the players to be too nervous.

Sun Hao, Nowitzki and Nash stayed at home to watch the Lakers game at night.

Although it may not be possible to meet the Lakers, it is still beneficial to watch the game of the strongest team in the league.

As someone in the future will say: If you don't beat the Warriors, what's the point.

The current status of the Lakers in the league is similar to that of the Warriors in the future, and may even be higher.

The ultimate goal of the Mavericks, of course, is to beat them.

The game started quickly, and the Timberwolves... got hammered in the opening game.

Dean Garnett and Kevin Garnett on the Timberwolves side, a double Garnett combination.

But without three seconds of defense and no zone defense, O'Neal is invincible on both offense and defense in the paint.

Of course, more importantly, Kobe is really different from the first half of the season.

Even in the playoffs, his desire to attack is not very strong.

In the first quarter, he scored 8 points and sent 3 assists. He felt like a Pennsylvania Magician.

The Lakers led by 30 to 15 in the first quarter by as much as 15 points.

The Timberwolves performed well under the leadership of Brandon and Garnett in the second and third quarters, and once narrowed the point difference to single digits.

But at the decisive moment, Kobe and O'Neal began to work together, closing the game with a wave of 11-0.

At the end of the game, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 103 to 88.

O'Neal had 32 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists, and Kobe had 25 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals.

This data looks a bit inexplicably inconsistent, because Kobe sent 11 assists.

And taking a closer look at the technical statistics, Kobe only took 11 shots in total...

After the game, Nowitzki and Nash looked at each other.

They feel the pressure.

This is the playoffs, and the Lakers played too easily.

And the key is that Kobe's playing is so reasonable!

Such a Lakers, the possibility of being defeated is zero!

Sun Hao also felt a little bit emotional, Kobe was injured in the 9 games this season, the injury was so worth it.

After seeing the expressions of Nowitzki and Nash, he reached out and patted their shoulders.

"The Timberwolves are too weak. Didn't we beat them by 58 points?"

He didn't want the two of them to have shadows in their hearts.

Nowitzki and Nash nodded after listening.

Yes, it's not that the Lakers are too strong, it's that the Timberwolves are too bad.

In addition to the Lakers and Timberwolves, the remaining three games on the first day were also played one after another.

The Kings defeated the Jazz 104 to 96, and 6 members of the team scored in double figures. Webber and Stojakovic both scored 20+, a typical Princeton-style victory.

The Knicks beat the Raptors 92-85 at home.

The Raptors' newly promoted All-Star Antonio Davis scored a double-double of 19 points and 15 rebounds, but the main player Carter felt cold, making only 5 of 22 shots.

McGrady's first playoffs without Cousin, miss him!

The 76ers lost to the Pacers 78-79 at home.

Reggie Miller scored 17 points on 5 of 21 shots and Iverson scored 16 points on 7 of 19 shots.

As a result, the centers of the two teams directly benefited. O'Neal grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds, and Uncle Mu also grabbed 22 rebounds.

...

After the first day of the game, the Big Three of TNT had work to do again.

"Allen Iverson's scoring efficiency has not been high. This 76ers offense is too dependent on him, and it is difficult for them to go far."

Barkley was an old representative from the moment he opened his mouth.

"Kevin Garnett is so helpless against the Lakers, will he never make it past the first round? Or is he thinking back to the regular season against the Mavericks, where they lost by 58 points all night. "

58 points are too many, already tied with Garnett.

"I hate Bruce Bowen, but I think Vince still needs to learn how to deal with this. Without T-mac, he has to carry the team, otherwise he looks like a regular season player."

Although there are only four games, it is full of slots.

"The Kings will be the only team in the league capable of challenging the Lakers. I love their game so much."

Kenny Smith raved about the Kings, which looked like the pinnacle of team basketball.

"No, only the Trail Blazers can challenge the Lakers."

Barkley offered his opinion.

"Charles, they are very sad about the Spurs. They probably can't pass the Mavericks. They are only seventh in the West."

Kenny Smith opened his mouth to remind that the performance of the Trail Blazers in the regular season is too difficult to get in front of the Lakers like last year.

"No, how many of the Mavericks have played in the playoffs? They have no experience in this area, and that's exactly what the Trail Blazers have. We all know that the regular season is just a warm-up, and the playoffs are the real game."

"Don't forget, although they are second and seventh, there is only 6 wins between them."

Barkley went on to add.

Both Smith and Johnson nodded unconsciously. What they said made sense.

This is why the Mavericks and the Spurs had mutual performances in the last game of the regular season.

No one wants to meet the hard bones of the Trail Blazers in the first round.

If you are lucky, you will have to peel off the skin. If you are not lucky, you may be dried out.

"So you think the Mavericks can't win?"

Kenny Smith asked Barkley with a smile.

If there's any metaphysics, Barkley and the Mavericks have been at odds this season.

As long as Barkley is not optimistic, the Mavericks can always surprise.

"Yes, they will be swept away."

Barkley is also quite cooperative.

Smith and Johnson couldn't help laughing again after listening.

They suddenly had a feeling that the Mavericks had settled for the first round.

...

The next night, the National Airline Center in Dallas was packed.

The boss Cuban took the lead, and the scene was a blue ocean.

The enthusiasm of the cowboys is vivid on the face.

When the Mavericks players entered the field, the scene became even more ebullient.

The last time the team entered the playoffs was the 1989~1990 season!

After 11 years, in the playoffs, they finally came back!

Not only did they come back again, but they are also second in the West and have home court advantage!

Of course, Cuban is the happiest.

The team made the playoffs in the second year he took over the team, and the core of the team is getting younger and younger, with a bright future.

The warm-up began quickly, and the Mavericks players looked a little tight.

Barkley is right about one thing, the Mavericks are pretty inexperienced in the playoffs.

Among the five starters, Nash has the most experience in the playoffs, but he has only played for two years, and he has been a soy sauce substitute all the time.

Uncle Huo had the most experience in the playoffs, and he was killed in three games.

The rest of Dirk Nowitzki, Finley, and Sun Hao all have zero experience in the playoffs.

Even more than the five main players, among the rotation players, only Kukoc and Eisley have more experience.

It's not normal for a team like this to not be nervous.

In contrast, the Trail Blazers seemed much calmer, talking and laughing, it looked like a group of old fritters.

The warm-up was coming to an end, and a reporter from the venue interviewed Rasheed Wallace of the Trail Blazers.

"Did the absence of Kemp and the injury of Bunch Wells have a big impact on the team?"

This reporter's words were sharp, and it seemed that he was rushing to make trouble.

"Our team has a lot of people who can play, and no matter who is absent, someone can fill in."

Wallace looked grumpy, but he also had a good EQ.

"The Trail Blazers only ranked seventh in the West in the end and lost their home court advantage. Does this have a great impact on team morale?"

"We're always fighting high."

Wallace still answered positively, but it could be seen that he was already frowning.

"The Trail Blazers' record fluctuated a lot after the All-Star Game. Is there something wrong with the team?"

Reporters are making trouble.

"We don't have any problems, it's you who have problems."

This time Wallace responded directly, and his temper was not very good.

"Rashid."

Fortunately, Pippen was nearby, and he quickly pulled Wallace away.

This reporter was obviously making trouble, and Wallace's violent temper might throw the microphone later.

"Calm down, he's just trying to piss you off."

After all, Pippen has been here, and he has seen many big scenes. After all, Wallace is still young.

And it's not surprising that reporters would ask Wallace about these things. "Roaring Tianzun" has a good reputation.

"He succeeded."

Wallace turned his head and glanced at the Mavericks halfcourt with a ruthless look on his face.

The warmup was coming to an end, and Wallace called the Blazers together.

"They think we've had a bad season. We're no longer the team that could tie the Lakers in the seventh game last season. We're already at the mercy of others. Tell me, are we?"

Wallace was like a dynamite keg on fire when he spoke.

But his words made people's blood boil.

"We're not, we're going to beat this bunch of assholes, we're going to face those who look down on us, we're going to beat the Lakers, guys, our season has really started!"

I have to say, before falling into complete rage. Wallace is a very qualified leader.

The reporter in front of him angered him, but Pippen kept that anger under control, which seemed to be a good thing instead.

At this time, Sun Hao turned his head and glanced at the Blazers' half court.

He didn't know what happened, but when he saw Wallace raised his hands and led the team to shout slogans with great momentum.

He felt that tonight's game would never be so easy.

After the warm-up ended, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

For the Mavericks, Nelson Sr. still uses the lineup without a center.

Nash and Sun Hao on the outside, Finley and Uncle Huo on the front line, Nowitzki on the center.

Just as he explained in the locker room yesterday, he wanted to bring the game into the rhythm of the Mavericks from the beginning.

On the Trail Blazers side, the old Dunleavy used a regular lineup.

Damon Stoudemire and Steve Smith on the outside, Pippen and Wallace on the front, and Sabonis at center.

In the broadcast booth, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were also ready.

The first playoff game of Sun Hao's NBA career is about to start.

To be precise, there is also Wang Zhizhi, who also entered the team's activation list tonight.

"It's going to be a tough game."

As it was far away, Zhang Weiping felt the tense atmosphere on the field.

"Who do you think has a better chance in that guide?"

Su Qun knocked on the side.

"Of course it's the Mavericks, they're second in the West."

Zhang Weiping had a serious face one second, but showed that shameless smile the next second.

Su Qun couldn't help coughing.

What Zhang Weiping said was very flat, and he didn't have the kind of reasoning with you at all.

However, he was also full of curiosity, wondering if "Zhang Weiping's Law" could be fulfilled again this time.
