After the light win over the Bulls, the Mavericks won the third victory after Liu Han's absence, if the victory over the Nets showed the strong fighting spirit of the Mavericks players in Liu Han's absence, then the light win over the Bulls showed the current Mavericks' dominance of the game, although Liu Han was missing, but the Mavericks still played a hearty offense, and the multi-point flowering attack wave made the Bulls unable to find a clue to defend at all.

After this game, the Chicago media sourly said that the current Mavericks don't need Liu Han at all, of course, they actually have the intention of sowing discord.

Although Nielsen's goal has basically been achieved by this time, in order to ensure that his and Liu Han's "conspiracy" is not suspected by more people, he can only wait for the agreed time of two weeks to expire.

During this time, Liu Han had to miss two key games for the Mavericks, one against the Kings, who are the Mavericks' main rivals in the West this season.

And the other is a showdown with the SuperSonics.

When it comes to the SuperSonics, we have to mention Ray Allen, this one of Liu Han's few friends at the beginning also left the Lakers shortly after Liu Han left, he doesn't want to be willing to be under others, in his character, there is actually a kind of stubbornness, since he has won the championship, Lei Allen doesn't want to continue to stay with the Lakers to O'Neal as a subordinate, he wants to lead a team to break through.

Leaving the Lakers with Ray Allen is also Brent Barry, the reason why he left was because of a feud with O'Neal, O'Neal's seemingly grinning appearance is actually sometimes very bad, Brent? Barry was a strict man and didn't want to work with someone like O'Neal anymore, so he followed Ray Allen to the SuperSonics.

After the news that Liu Han's "injury" was not serious, many media thought that he would play in the Mavericks' game against the Kings, but Nelson publicly said that Liu Han would miss this game, which made the Kings have hope of winning.

In the last meeting between the two teams, the Kings lost to the Mavericks by a large score, and some members of the team even had a certain sense of despair about playing against Liu Han, they felt that fighting against the Mavericks with Liu Han was a kind of torment, and the thunderous counterattack made some of the Kings so tired that they almost vomited blood after a game.

However, when the Kings really faced the Mavericks without Liu Han away, they found that the pressure of the game was not too far from that of the Mavericks with Liu Han, although the Mavericks were much slower in terms of speed, but the intensity of defense and the confrontation of the game were more intense.

Peja appeared in the lineup in this game of the Kings, the last time the two teams met Peja was absent due to injury, he is the most stable outside offensive firepower of the Kings, but today Peja is not in good shape, coupled with Odom's special marking, Peja's three-point defense did not play its due strength, the Mavericks' man-to-man defense effect in this game is very obvious, the players who have changed their mentality are willing to fight for each ball, this level of confrontation makes the Kings players very uncomfortable.

In addition to defense, the Mavericks' team offense also played with style, Nowitzki made 4 of 6 three-pointers, hit 14 of 24 shots, and made 6 of 6 free throws to score 38 points.

Odom came close to a triple-double, but his 18 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds were impressive.

Then Jamison scored 24 points and shot even more from the field, shooting 10-of-17 from the field and making four free throws.

Even if Peja scored 24 points and Bibby scored 23 points, the Kings were still no match.

In the end, the Mavericks won 108-99 at home against the Kings, and although the Mavericks' scoring decreased, the efficiency of the entire team increased a lot.

After the game with the Kings, the Mavericks announced that Liu Han would return to the game with the Jazz on January 28, and now they are facing the All-Star Game, and many teams have begun to adjust the state of their main players in order to compete for a playoff spot after the All-Star Game, and now Liu Han's return is undoubtedly the best news for the Mavericks, and for other teams, this is very bad news.

On January 27, 2004, the Mavericks took on the Seattle SuperSonics on the road.

Ray Allen and Brent Barry quickly integrated into the team after arriving with the SuperSonics, and the two of them and the SuperSonics' Rassad? Lewis formed the "three musketeers" of the SuperSonics' backcourt, and after Payton left the SuperSonics this season, Ray Allen became the core of the team. Barry also became the team's starting point guard.

In the match with the Mavericks, Lei Allen was naturally looking forward to seeing Liu Han again, he originally admired Liu Han the most, and the others Lei Allen didn't care much, but unlucky, Liu Han was "injured".

The Mavericks held a big advantage in the first quarter, leading the SuperSonics by seven points at the end of the first quarter, with Nowitzki scoring 14 points on two-of-two three-pointers in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the game changed dramatically, and the SuperSonics guard Antonio ? Daniels' SuperSonics team played an offensive climax as soon as they came on the court, and Rashad returned to the court after an early break? Lewis scored 17 points on 4-of-5 three-pointers in the first quarter, and relying on continuous offense in the second quarter, the SuperSonics overtook the Mavericks by three points at halftime.

Nowitzki dominated the pace of the game in the third quarter, scoring 18 points on 5-of-5 three-pointers in the quarter, and 17 points in the first half, Nowitzki had scored 35 points by the end of the third quarter.

However, the SuperSonics were not to be outdone in the third quarter, with Ray Allen scoring 14 points in a single quarter, Lewis and substitute Daniels also scoring 5 and 7 points respectively, and by the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had a 4-point lead over the SuperSonics.

Entering the final quarter, the two teams began the final showdown, Odom and Nowitzki each delivered the team's key points in the final moments, and the SuperSonics also scored by Ray Allen and Lewis to close the score.

In the final moments, Odom forced a layup to make a two-and-one to help the Mavericks seal the victory, and Ray Allen's final shot was deflected off the basket, and the Mavericks won 118-116 over the SuperSonics to make it five wins in a row.

In seven games without Liu Han, the Mavericks have won five of them, including many strong teams in the East and West, and after this adjustment, the Mavericks can almost be said to have reached their best, and then they just need to maintain this state and wait for the playoffs to come.
