BEIJING£¬ Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- The New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis
expressed his preferrence to playing a full season without injury rather than a
Most Valuable Player trophy ahead of NBA Global Games here on Tuesday.
In his fourth NBA season£¬ Davis averaged 24.3 points£¬ 10.2 rebounds and 2.0
blocks£¬ eye-catching individual statistics enabling him to contend for the
2015-2016 MVP trophy£¬ but he faced uphill injury issue as the biggest threat to
his sporting career as he never played more than 68 games in his previous four
seasons.
"My individual goal is to play for a full season£¬ which means that I can be
on the floor for 82 games.
"(In terms of the MVP) Where it happens£¬ it happens. Every season I want to
get it£¬ it's team success as well as individual success£¬ I will play as hard as
I can. For whoever it goes to£¬ it goes to£¬" said Davis.
Pelicans lost Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson to the Houston Rockets£¬ while
recruiting Lance Stephenson in the offseason£¬ thus making preseason games a
necessity for newcomers to fit into the team system both offensively and
defensively.
Buddy Hield£¬ No. 6 draft pick this year as a prolific scorer in his college
career£¬ had brilliant performance in last game in Shanghai£¬ finishing 14 points
in the offeensive end£¬ also restriting Rockets top scorer James Harden to 6 of
18 shooting in the other end.
"He can shoot the ball£¬ he can handle it£¬ he can pass£¬ he is a hard worker£¬
that's what we expect him to do for the new season£¬" commented Davis on Hield's
prospect.
"I think he did as a typical rookie. He is going to have some good games£¬
also some bad games. He is learning. He works extremely hard£¬ and is going to be
a good player£¬" said Alvin Gentry£¬ the Pelicans' head coach.
Hield also harvested his confidence in defense from his head-to-head matchup
against Harden£¬ one of the league's best scorers.
"It's the first time for me to guard against him. TV looks different£¬ but
real life is crazy. He is one of the best scorers in the league£¬ so I just try
hard to let him make some tough shots£¬" recalled Hield.
The second game of NBA Global Games series will be held in Beijing on
Wednesday. The Pelicans lost to the Rockets 123-117 last Sunday in Shanghai.
"We've got to be better in transition and defense. We had a crucial turnover
in Shanghai. The third one is that we need to do a good job on boards. We lost
too many offensive rebounds in last game£¬" said Gentry.
Today¡¯s economic uncertainties are leading to more and more marital
uncertainties. Money troubles are the most common cause of divorce. And it¡¯s
usually not the lack of
money Jalen Ramsey
Youth Jersey , but rather the lack of honesty. Honest, frank conversation
both before and during marriage about personal finances and how to deal with
them, can go a long way to avoiding the dark, cold days of distrust and
discontent.
1.)Do approach the subject with
honesty Will
Richardson Youth Jersey , courtesy and respect. Be honest with your spouse
about how much things cost. Be honest about how much you earn, how much you save
and where the money goes each month. Dishonesty is a big don¡¯t. Hiding how much
something costs, or hiding that big bonus from your spouse so you don¡¯t have to
share it leads to ¡°financial infidelity¡± ¨C the act of making your spouse
distrustful of you and your handling of money.
2.) Do discuss personal finances in quiet, calm moments. Don¡¯t bring them up
in the midst of an
argument DJ Chark Youth
Jersey , or in the midst of a heated discussion, even if the discussion is
about the economy or money. A good heated argument about the national debt and
its resolution is no time to harp on how much his new golf shoes cost, or on how
much she spends at the beauty salon each week.
3.) Do recognize each others¡¯ personal finances strengths as well as
weaknesses. One may be a saver, while the other is a spender. One may prefer to
bargain hunt Taven
Bryan Youth Jersey , thrift shop and coupon, while the other may decide
that the best way to get what you want is to diligently sacrifice non-essentials
until the cost of that shiny new toy has been saved up. One may be excellent
about paying bills and making a budget, while the other may be less organized
but still manages to live within their means. Focusing on your strengths is a
good way to learn from each other, and to decide who should take care of what
responsibility. The
planner Logan Cooke
Youth Jersey , saver, and budgeter can learn to enjoy the occasional
thrift shopping trip. The thrifty, fly-by-the seat of the pants as long as I can
afford it, spouse can learn to appreciate the rewards in savoring the sweet
success of saving for something new and special.
4.) Discuss long-term goals for personal
finances Ronnie
Harrison Youth Jersey , such as caring for aging parents, retirement, and
college funding for children. Often, spouses will think they are on the same
page Dante
Fowler Jr Womens Jersey , when in reality they aren¡¯t even in the same
book. Having frank discussions about things that may not happen for years may
seem silly, especially to younger couples, but coming to joint decisions on
these vital topics will ease when the once ¡°far away¡± time arrives, because it
will Dawuane Smoot
Womens Jersey , and probably sooner than you think.
5.) Do keep an open mind. Most of us learn our spending habits and our
attitudes toward personal finances from our parents or from past experiences.
That means that you are both likely to bring very different mind sets to the
table, even if you tend to agree on many areas of personal finances. A frank,
open, honest discussion with an open mind and an open heart is a lot cheaper and
easier than the costly alternatives!
