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!
