Almighty legend life

Chapter 817 Ten Years

Everyone in the Mavericks team can feel the huge changes in the team. Whether it is the old Nelson's growing reticence or Avery Johnson's increasing power, the Mavericks team is indeed undergoing some huge changes.

The German Nowitzki showed extraordinary emotional intelligence. Although he was trained by the old Nelson, at this time he chose very wisely to keep his mouth shut, and at the same time played well. own basketball.

Although Nowitzki's behavior seems to some people to be very disloyal, it must be pointed out that the old Nelson's nepotism is actually not so great and bright.

Although the German does not have a manager, it must be said that he is an extremely smart guy.

Liu Han didn't make a clear statement on whose side the changes in the team are, but everyone knows that no matter what happens between Nelson and Cuban, Liu Han's position is unshakable.

Liu Han only participated in the last game of the seven preseason games, and in the last preseason game he only showed up at the last moment. The team is still in the running-in period, and the old Nelson and Cuban The dispute has not been completely over. At this time, the team has not yet established a clear tactical structure.

In addition to daily training, Liu Han shifted the focus of his life to his family. Anna, who had just given birth, was a little depressed, which made Liu Han a little worried, but with his company, Anna improved a lot.

Liu Han's child, Xiaolonglong, grew up very fast. By November, he had adapted to life in Dallas, and he had grown completely, with thick black hair and light blue eyes, showing This child has the potential to grow into a little boy in the future.

After entering November, the 04-05 NBA regular season officially started, but the Mavericks are still in turmoil.

The opening game started on November [-], and the Mavericks faced their old rival Kings in the first game of last season.

The Kings team in the hands of Adelman is now at its peak, but the strength of the Kings has weakened this season. Chris Webber has been troubled by knee injuries. After the end of last season, he chose to undergo minimally invasive surgery. Good, but it must be said that this kind of minimally invasive knee surgery is not actually safe.

Divac, who was completely old and unable to jump, did not retire after the end of last season. He unexpectedly got a contract from the Lakers. Obviously, Mayfair Jackson wanted to find a substitute for O'Neal, who was getting fatter and fatter. But now it seems that Divac may not be very suitable, after all, he is no longer a floor stream, but a thorough walk stream.

Fighting against old opponents, and it was the opening game, the Mavericks still paid more attention to it. Nelson temporarily put aside the dispute with Cuban and arranged a reasonable lineup.

The young point guard from the trade, Devon Harris, was reused and served as the starting point guard in the opening game at the beginning of the season. Center Dampier also started the game. Liu Han was placed at the small forward position, and the shooting guard was last season. Josh Howard performed well, and the German is still Liu Han's best partner. After a year of cooperation, Liu Han and Nowitzki are now very in harmony. Both of them are players with strong single-handed ability , Both of them can stretch and support each other. With the two of them on the court, the Mavericks don't have to worry too much about offense no matter what the situation.

This season Odom was placed in the sixth man position, which made Odom a little unhappy, but fortunately, Cuban generously offered him a full middle class, and Odom stopped making trouble. .

The weakened Kings met the Mavericks, which was turbulent but the core has not changed. The result is obvious. Both Liu Han and Nowitzki played for less than 35 minutes. The Mavericks easily won 108 to 91 at home. The point difference overcame the Kings.

In the other two games on the first day, the Rockets lost to the Pistons 79 to 87. The Rockets made a big deal during the season. Francis and "Old Cat" Mobley were sent away. Scoring champion Tracy McGrady joined the Rockets and formed the "Yao Mai" combination with Yao Min. This seemingly very good combination did not seem to have the proper chemical reaction in the early stage. Jeff Van Gundy did not seem to An offensive player who doesn't know how to use the outside line, just like he almost used Alan Houston.

After experiencing the unsatisfactory last season, the Lakers almost fell apart. Malone wanted to hug O'Neal's thigh to get himself a championship ring. For this reason, he even almost turned against his old friend Stockton, but now, he I can only retire with regret and regret.

Although Phil Jackson thought about resigning directly, under the persuasion of his girlfriend Jenny Buss, he finally stood up. After retaining O'Neal, the Lakers began a new reconstruction work.

In the first game at the beginning of the season, the Lakers did not play well, but they finally defeated the Nuggets without any surprises. Anthony did not seem to have any growth after the baptism of the Olympics. Alone, although he is a qualified finisher, but his slightly arrogant and disrespectful personality made him offend many people in the Nuggets.

In the next game in November, although the Mavericks still showed a strong dominance, people with a discerning eye also noticed the Mavericks' weak offense. The team seemed to have a more organized lineup, but the turmoil within the team It began to affect the team's performance.

In the game, Liu Han and Nowitzki played more and more playing time. Nowitzki has made great progress in the interior skills after being trained by Olajuwon, but this does not mean that he needs to be in the interior Strong attack, but now Dampier has not shown his role at all. He can't even guarantee the rebounds well. This has to make Nowitzki start to move his position to ensure the team's rebounds. It can be said that, The deal that Cuban advocated this time was a failure. Dampier did not have the strength of what he called "the second center in the West". He was a pure blue-collar, not even a very good blue-collar.

Rookie Devin Harris also failed to perform as he should. He is the No. 1 pick this year and is regarded by Cuban as the team's No.[-] choice for the team's future main point guard, but no one discovered this point guard until after taking over. The guard's desire to attack is too strong. His speed is so fast that he almost has no brakes. This is not an orthodox point guard, and it is not the point guard that the Mavericks expect to see, whether it is old Nelson or Cuban spokesperson. Even Avery Johnson doesn't want a point guard with such a strong desire to attack in his team. After all, the team now has Liu Han and Nowitzki as two attack points, and it is really difficult to divide the ball too much.
