Chapter 199: I Thought You Forgot

(The manuscript is on the computer, and now it's outside, and when you come back, you may not be able to update it, so take something else on top first)

Salary cap, luxury tax. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Finley ended up being used in a tempting amnesty clause. In addition to the distribution of the ball, Howard's growth, and the fact that Terry and Starkerhouse also need to shoot, is the macro layout of management. So in 2005, at the age of 27, he was finally pushed to the core and began to become the backbone of a team.

From this point on, he could no longer play under the instruction of his brother, or rather his brother, as before. To be a hero, you must first be lonely.

You know, those people come and go, and it's far beyond his control. But the weal and woe of this team will fall on his shoulders. There are so many personnel changes, and naturally there are also coach changes. All he can do is adapt slowly and play every game.

The team's focus has made him a consistent All-Star, All-Star and MVP, but it has also made him saddled with soft eggs and withdrawn duties. Yes, in this movement where American heroism is prevalent, no one cares that you are quiet by nature, and no one cares about your inner monologue. Superheroes have their own growth trajectories, but people just love to watch them fight their way to the top.

He experienced a long period of self-doubt: he was intercepted and killed by his brother in '05; The 06 finals were reversed; Black Eight in '07. Not many people were willing to excuse him, and it was deafening to find out the real bane of the different time periods - in fact, he didn't have many loyal fans at the time. People prefer to decide the result in a clear and concise way: you are the ace of the team, so you have to be responsible.

Dirk also understands this, and at this time he is used to thinking about problems in an American way. But he is surrounded by his teammates, mentors, and the owners and fans who have high expectations. You have to explore the road yourself, and no one will lead you away.

He had Terry by his side, a friendship that would follow in years of hardship and battle; Harris and Barria, who grew up, seemed to him to be just little brothers, just as Finley had brought himself; But Howard, Daniels, and Dampier are teammates, but they don't have more intersections. Different upbringing, preferences and styles make it impossible for them to be buddies who are close to each other - they still have a tacit harmony on the field, and off the field, it is something outside of work.

More and more either/or thinking makes people forget that there is a middle ground - in addition to liking and disliking a person, there is also a category called "dislike", which is not liked or hated, and we are ordinary people, we are colleagues and co-workers. may not necessarily rise to the level of a good brother of the iron buddy, but it is also not an opponent who regards each other as fierce rivals.

The Western media are naturally familiar with that, Avery Johnson is a little selfish, Josh Howard is not necessarily too careful, and Dirk doesn't know at all. But finally one day, they were pushed to the opposite side. Who knows who's gambling?

This was the second time Dirk had hesitated. After three years of miserable endings, he did not get the relief of his confidant, but received negative comments from his coach. It seems to have become a trick of going through the motions. He had never been involved in locker room politics, so he was at a loss when things hit his head.

Fortunately, he still has Cuban, who has always supported him. In those difficult years, I deduced the repetition of changing lineups, failing, and continuing to get up again and again. You may not have experienced Dirk's transformation again and again, adapting to a new group of teammates every year, changing to a new style of play, and the individual offense tends to be inexplicable, but there is no way to go further. I also don't understand whether Kuban's stubborn insistence is really kept.

But they finally arrived, finding the right gears and lubricant at the right moment to let the mighty Dallas chariot rumble open and run over the frustrated faces. Kidd was the driver, Chandler was the shield, Mary was the track, Barria Stevencent was the loader, and he became the largest caliber gun. Just right, the pinnacle of glory.

But until then? It was the failure of chasing again and again, and the unconfident contract jumping out in 2010. He said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, whether to leave here." I sometimes wonder if LeBron and Wade were calling me, would I seriously consider huddles?

After all, all this is just a thought, and he may not realize that there is a huge gap between this group of young Americans at their peak and him, and they can't become friends after all, let alone teammates who are eager to play.

More than ten years of polishing have allowed him to grow from a small-town youth in Würzburg to a sophisticated and standard Texan. Growing up, he embraced old-school thinking, that is, the perseverance and loyalty that were repeatedly celebrated should have been taken for granted by him, or the German football players of his time. So much so that when Cuban smashed the 4-year salary in front of him, his first reaction was stunned and ashamed. He felt that he didn't do what he should have done, but he was so loved by the team, so he had to take a salary cut to make himself feel more at ease.

This is a common trait of players of his time, who may have thought about it, but never acted on it. So he and Kobe Duncan became close friends, only staying on the front of the court, but never thought of fighting together. In fact, he had a chance - when the Lakers asked Dirk for peak O'Neal, he was rejected by Cuban, Dirk, not for sale.

Well, leave all the firepower here to spew.

He met Kidd and Marion, two more or less contemporaneous peers. They empathize with him. But before winning the championship, they were still ordinary teammates, just harder and more motivated, more eager to win the championship, and needless to say, they knew what they were thinking with a glance.

It's locker room metaphysics from the Dirk era, he's a true leader on the field, but not in the locker room. He is not as willing to take care of things as American youth leaders, and he is very comfortable with the media in the locker room. He prefers to sit in silence at the end of the dressing room, humming an unknown German ditty and spending his pre-match hours in meditation.

Yes, he had very few intimate brothers after that. Chris Carman, that's just a big fan of him. He even said frankly that "only if you become a German citizen can you have the opportunity to play in the Olympics". Carman did not speak German and did not have a real sense of German pride, and he obviously did not know the weight that Dirk had carried, and he could withdraw at any time like him.

The same goes for Kidd and Marion, who have a sense of belonging to this team, but not the vast history of the Dallas Mavericks. When Dirk broke one team record after another and became recognized as the first man in team history, he was the benchmark, the military flag, and synonymous with Dallas's wild character. But the way he led the team, he was too silent.

Fortunately, he met his buddy who hit it off at first sight, Cardinal.

This is the last piece of the puzzle of 2011 and Dirk's most beloved brother. Whenever there is any solidity in the team, there is always this good old man to play the round. He laughed at people everywhere and talked to everyone. And then every day, the first one ran to the training court and threw the three-pointers that didn't look good again and again.

Cardinal said: "I want to set a good example and inspire my teammates with my actions every day. I'm not the most talented, but I have to work hard and be ready to wait for any opportunity. I was born in a small village of 20,000 people, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have the opportunity to play in Dallas, and to be in the national camera. I want to make the people around me better, and I have to cheer them up.
