"How does it feel? Anna, there may not be as many people here as there are people in a football stadium, but the atmosphere here is definitely more lively than a football stadium, isn't it? ”

"That's true, Mr. Cuban, the people here are also very welcoming, and it makes me feel like I'm back in Madrid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In one of the most visible areas of the American Airlines Center, Cuban took Anna to his regular seat, and since acquiring the Mavericks, Cuban has rarely missed the team's home games.

After Liu Han arrived in Dallas, Cuban and Liu Han got along very happily, Anna and Cuban became good friends, as for Anna's family, Vladimir and Victoria went to Los Angeles to visit LaBeouf, and they planned to have a good time in North America next.

"Anna, it's okay to call me Mark, seriously, the first time I saw you I thought I saw young Audrey Hepburn, I have to say, Liu's luck is really good, haha, I think it won't be long before you and Liu will become celebrities in Dallas."

"Thank you Mark, oh, I also have to thank you for the ranch news, my parents are happy with the ranch."

Although Anna was talking on the sidelines, her eyes did not leave Liu Han, who was in the final warm-up, although he had seen Liu Han play basketball before, but it was the first time to watch an official NBA game.

Liu Han slowly dribbled the ball in the middle of the court and then tried to shoot a few times, and the other Mavericks players were also preparing to warm up, and they had new expectations for the future of the team.

Jerry Sloan looked at Liu Han who was warming up on the field with a complicated mood, this original young man has now completely matured, and his expression seems to have experienced a lot of things, but the idea that popped up in Jerry Sloan's heart was why he didn't find this young man earlier.

Sloan had a hard time this year, Stockton announced his retirement before the start of the season, and Malone had to leave Los Angeles for the championship, there were no more famous players in the team, only a group of young and blue-collar players remained, and Jerry Sloan's championship dream was now almost shattered after repeated abuse by Jordan and Liu Han.

The game is finally about to start, the starters on both sides come to the center of the field to jump the ball, the Mavericks' lineup looks a little strange, Nowitzki, who used to be a big forward, was pushed to the center position, Antoine Jamison, who was only traded to the team this season, became the starting power forward, the small forward position is the potential rookie Lamar Odom, the scoring guard is the veteran Allen McGee who has just been traded, and the point guard Liu Han, this lineup has changed dramatically from the Mavericks last season, Bradley sat on the bench and couldn't help but sigh a little, he was originally the team's starting center, but since Liu Han's arrival, Nelson's mind has changed dramatically.

The referee threw the ball high and Nowitzki jumped the ball, but compared with the opponent's Jazz team's two-meter-18 center Ostertag, Nowitzki was not only not as tall as the opponent, but even the bounce was a little worse.

The ball was taken away by the Jazz and the game officially began.

Although the Mavericks lineup is higher than the opponent in terms of average height, it is much worse than the Jazz team in terms of absolute height and introverted intensity, just look at the Mavericks' interior players, Nowitzki's most powerful is his accurate projection, often floating outside the three-point line, Jamison is not a particularly strong impact player, the Mavericks' lineup is still dominated by the outside line.

The Jazz's first offense was very simple, it was still their usual blocking and dismantling tactics, although there was no Stockton and Malone, but the blocking and dismantling was almost integrated into the soul of the Jazz, Ostertag and Arroyo's blocking and dismantling also played quite tacitly, Ostertag easily made a layup after receiving Arroyo's ball, and Nowitzki didn't even have time to interfere with the action.

The Mavericks team in Nelson's hands is not known for defense, and now it lacks a suitable meat shield on the inside, so it can only let the opponent wreak havoc on the inside.

However, in the offense, although the Mavericks have not practiced together for a long time, all members of the starting lineup have three-point shooting ability, which makes the Jazz very difficult to defend.

Liu Han did not attack the opponent in the first attack, but took advantage of the change in speed to shake off Arroyo and then split the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, and Nowitzki hit a three-point shot.

Although Liu Han received an assist, this goal did not show his form, and it can only be said to be a relatively ordinary performance.

In the next game, the Mavericks were still weak in defense and sharp in offense, and under Liu Han's strategy, the Mavericks' offense played quite smoothly, and they repeatedly succeeded outside the three-point line.

"I have to say that Liu's passing has not changed much compared to before, but if it is just like this, then his performance is not worthy of his value."

Charles Barkley, who has become a qualified basketball commentator, became the guest commentator for this high-profile game.

"Charles, you didn't get any benefits from Liu back then, are you planning to take revenge now?"

Kenny Smith, who is also retired from the Rockets, has also become a basketball commentator, and he and Barkley are good partners.

"Hey, Kenny, you were bullied by him at the beginning, and seriously, I was already injured at the time, and if it was normal, that guy would definitely not be my match."

Barkley is clearly unhappy with his previous experience, having suffered a loss last year to Yao Min, who is also Chinese, and has not recovered.

"Haha, then Charles, would you like to bet with me one more time like last time? Just bet on how Liu will perform today. ”

"Kenny, I'm never going to fool you again, Kenny's ass doesn't smell good at all." (There should be a lot of people who know this stalk)

The game on the court is still unhurried, after all, it is a preseason, the two sides did not compete too hard, Liu Han controlled the ball and played unhurriedly, so the Mavericks were also slow, and the Jazz were getting more and more excited, and they now needed some victories to get the team back to its due momentum.

"Compared to before, the level of confrontation has actually decreased a bit, and it seems that the league intends to make the offense mainstream."

While playing lightly, Liu Han thought in his heart that the preseason could not arouse his interest, and at the same time, the strength of the opponent did not make him feel pressure.

Carlos Arroyo, a Jazz player who defended Liu Han, joined the NBA after Liu Han left, and he didn't know much about Liu Han, but he felt that this point guard, who was not short, looked quite calm, and there was no sense of urgency, which made Arroyo a little puzzled.
