After returning to Dallas, Liu Han went to the Baiyan Lake Scenic Area in the northeast of Dallas city under the leadership of Kuban to buy a mansion, Liu Han's house in Dallas city is relatively close to the training hall, and the purchase of a mansion in Baiyan Lake is for investment, and secondly, he can spend his leisure time here in the future, surrounded by the mansions of Texas tycoons and oil tycoons, and the scenery is beautiful, which is very suitable for living and leisure.
The first two consecutive wins not only made Dallas fans very satisfied, but even Cuban was full of confidence in the current Mavericks, although Cuban was also looking forward to his team winning the championship in the past, but his heart was actually very bottomless, but now Cuban feels that he is very down-to-earth, just like the investment in stocks began to rise and fall.
Under the recommendation of Kuban, Liu Han bought a mansion adjacent to Baiyan Lake, although this villa is not too large compared to other areas, but Liu Han is very satisfied with the environment here, Anna is also very satisfied with this place, the price is relatively not too expensive, so Liu Han finalized here.
After getting the mansion, Kuban gave a big gift, and he gave Liu Han a Maybach as a gift for the new house.
For the boss's arrogance, Liu Han finally has some insight, since he came to Dallas, Cuban has been kind to him, which makes Liu Han feel like he is back in Madrid, but seriously, the weather in Dallas is very similar to Madrid.
On the same day that the Mavericks beat the Warriors, the NBA teams in the 03-04 season appeared one by one.
The Heat and Mavericks are also back-to-back on the road, but the Heat, who started with Wade as the core rebuild, suffered two consecutive defeats, and Stan Van Gundy's experience of never coaching a team before has been criticized by many people, and even Pat Riley has been questioned by some people because of this.
Wade shot just 2-of-12 from the field in this game, which is enough to show that he is not ready.
The Heat's opponent is the Celtics, Liu Han's old friend Paul? Pierce treated Wade well, completely limited Wade both defensively and offensively, and finally the Celtics defeated the Heat by 23 points 98-75.
In another high-profile game, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Kings 92-106, and although the high-profile draft champion LeBron James scored 26 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds in his first NBA game, the Cavaliers still looked much tender in the face of the Kings' Princeton tactics, and the Kings scored six double-doubles, and James won the data but lost the game.
On Oct. 30, another team with Chinese players was unveiled, as the Rockets defeated the Nuggets at home 102-85 against Anthony, the draft pick.
However, Yao Min played very depressed in this game, he fell into foul trouble, and only got 20 minutes of playing time.
The Cavaliers lost to the Suns again in the second game of the back-to-back on the road, and in this game, LeBron James was seized by his teammates. Davis felt that he should be the core of the team after the last game, so he frequently shot to grab the ball from James regardless of the coach's arrangement, James was still young after all, and he was suppressed by Ricky Davis for a while.
Facing the Suns, who were also somewhat infighting, the Cavaliers lost by nine points.
On November 1, 2003, the Mavericks will play their third game at home against the Jazz, which will be Liu's official debut at the American Airlines Center Arena.
In the preseason before, the Jazz and the Mavericks have played each other twice, and the end ended in the Mavericks winning, the Jazz's consistent defensive strategy may be able to limit other teams, but in the face of the Mavericks, they are always more than willing to do enough, and one Liu Han alone is enough to give the Jazz a headache.
However, in the face of this official NBA regular season game, the Jazz team made a lot of changes to Liu Han, the first point was to let Kirilenko mark Liu Han, and at the same time, Jerry Sloan did not let the center Ostertag start in order to target the Mavericks' fast-moving lineup, but sent Jalen Collins, who moved faster and defended better, to start.
The Mavericks' side hasn't changed much, and it's still a similar centerless lineup.
At the beginning of the game, Kirilenko caused some trouble for Liu Han, this big player who was close to two meters tall could actually keep up with Liu Han's speed in a short time, although his strength was much weaker than Liu Han, but in terms of mobility, Kirilenko was amazing.
Kirilenko has long hands and long feet, and it is very good to prevent Liu Han from breaking through the defense, but Liu Han improvised, let Odom take over the organization, he fell low and played without the ball, such a change caught the Jazz team off guard, Kirilenko defended Liu Han, so Odom could only let Raul Lopez, who is one meter eight and five tall, defend, this is obviously a misalignment, Odom took the opportunity to continuously attack the Jazz team.
At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Jazz by six points, 32-26.
Liu Han basically played without the ball in the first quarter, and then looked for an opportunity to catch the ball, he shot three three-pointers in the first quarter, and grabbed five rebounds.
In the second quarter, the two sides switched to the bench lineup, and the two rookies of the Mavericks were lucky this season, both of them got a lot of opportunities to play in the second quarter, Josh Howard grew up quickly, but Xue Yuyang was still adapting.
The Mavericks' bench lineup isn't great, but the Jazz are even worse, they can't find a few players on the bench who can fit into the game, which is an old problem of Jerry Sloan, who can build a good starting team combination, but he is still lacking in bench player development.
In the second half of the second quarter, by the time the Mavericks' main team returned to the court, the Jazz had trailed the Mavericks by more than ten points.
Heading into the third quarter, Nelson was even more daring to adopt an extreme lineup, replacing Nowitzki with Josh Howard, and the Mavericks lineup can now run completely.
And in the third quarter, the Jazz's shooting rate began to decline, and the Mavericks seized the opportunity to counterattack, Liu Han drove the speed gear to the maximum, and the entire Mavericks team was as completely buzzed as an F1 vehicle entering the track.
The Jazz were running back and forth throughout the third quarter, and they were completely lost in a game of such speed.
By the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had led the Jazz by more than 30 points, and the fourth quarter had completely turned into garbage time.
Liu Han did not play in the fourth quarter, and he scored another triple-double in the first three quarters of the game, with a triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.
In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Jazz by 28 points 127-99, and they won the first three straight games.
