With the mid-September season coming to an end, preparations for the new NBA season have already begun, and teams across the league are hiring in anticipation of the start of the new season, while the Mavericks are in the midst of civil unrest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the Mavericks sweeping the league last season with the "quasi-small ball" tactic, the current NBA league has begun to enter a new era, defense is no longer the first thing that teams aspiring to win the championship must consider, and whether the outside firepower is sufficient has begun to be valued by various teams.

The Mavericks reached their peak after a fantastic season, but at this time, there was a great disagreement within the team, and the contradictions between Nelson Sr. and owner Cuban that had been hidden because of their excellent results began to come to light.

Nelson Sr. has been in a lot of disputes with Cuban since he coached the Mavericks, although Nelson Sr.'s tactical ideas are extremely novel, but he is still the kind of old-school coach in his bones, he believes that the normal management of the team should be responsible for him, the owner is only responsible for paying for it, and commercial development is not in his consideration.

Cuban is indeed a very basketball-loving owner, but at the same time he is also a very controlling person, a business tycoon like him is basically this kind of character, he wants his team to develop according to his own expectations, Cuban's excessive love makes him have more expectations for the management of the team.

In such a situation, Nelson Sr.'s desire for his son to be in the team's management made Cuban feel a strong dislike for Nelson Sr.

Old Nelson is actually a little lax after fulfilling his dream of coaching championship, after all, he is over sixty years old, and his physical condition is actually not very good, as an old man, he thinks that he can leave enough resources for his son after he retires, in Nelson Sr.'s view, as long as Liu Han is still in the Mavericks, Nelson Jr. will not cause too much trouble no matter how he dies.

But when the old Nelson tried to introduce his son into the team management, he was directly rejected by the owner Cuban, which made the old Nelson feel very faceless, although the Americans are very clear about work and life, but in fact, they are also very particular about relationships and the like, look at the president of the United States, there are basically family traditions.

After the two quarreled once over the issue of Nelson Jr., Cuban and Nelson Sr. continued to dispute over personnel issues in the new season.

Nelson Sr. hopes that the team can continue to strengthen the firepower on the outside in the new season, and at the same time cultivate the right young point guard, so as to completely unleash Liu Han's offensive power.

And the owner Cuban has his own new understanding of the team, he hopes that his team can be a perfect team, a super team with a balance of offense and defense, and Cuban also wants to have more stars in his team, not just relying on Liu Han's fame, Cuban doesn't care about how much money he spends, what he cares about is his own face, he wants those old-fashioned people in the east to see how successful he is a team owner.

With such disagreements, the Mavericks' preparations for the new season have come to a near standstill, with the team supposed to have a basic roster of players in early September, but it was not determined until mid-September.

In response to the situation of the Mavericks, in fact, Cuban and Nelson Sr. have consulted Liu Han's opinion, but Liu Han wisely did not express any of his own opinions after discussing with his agent, and now the disagreement within the team seems to be a simple issue of recruitment, but Liu Han's agent knows that this is a contradiction between Cuban and Nelson Sr., no matter which side Liu Han stands on, he will offend the other side, so Liu Han's best thing to do now is to ignore it, after all, with Liu Han's status, everyone knows that it is indispensable for the Mavericks.

Liu Han was silent, and the seemingly direct Nowitzki was also very chicken-thief and did not express his attitude, although the old Nelson single-handedly trained Nowitzki, but the Germans also knew who this team was.

After many unpleasant experiences, Nelson Sr. finally compromised, although he did not explicitly say that he gave up his rights, but in the end he still compromised with Cuban on the condition that his son become the team's assistant coach.

Without hindrance, Cuban has embarked on his own aggressive team rebuild, but before that can begin, Cuban has one more big thing to do.

Liu Han originally signed a one-plus-one contract with the Mavericks, with a two-year salary of $45 million, although not the highest in the league, but definitely a big contract, and the second year is a player option, Liu Han can calmly make his own choice.

In order to build the super team in his mind, Cuban knew that he could give up anything but only to keep Liu Han in the team, so Cuban even organized a team to analyze and study Liu Han's personality and way of thinking, and his purpose was to keep Liu Han as much as possible.

In this team of Kuban, there is a doctor who specializes in Chinese culture, and he gave Kuban a very good opinion.

The Ph.D., who specializes in Chinese culture, gave Cuban a detailed account of the Chinese way of thinking and traditions, and many of Cuban's actions in the previous year were planned by the doctor, such as organizing a wedding for Liu Han and creating a family-like atmosphere for Liu Han in Dallas.

In response to this new contract, the doctor's advice to Cuban is to retreat as advance, the doctor believes that Liu Han is a traditional oriental mode of thinking, although his Jewish agent Helga is an extremely shrewd guy, but the final decision is in the hands of Liu Han, in this case, instead of seeking a long-term contract with Liu Han in a particularly strong way, it is better to retreat as advance to play the emotional card.

The final advice given by the doctor to Cuban is to use salary to reflect sincerity and freedom to express feelings, Liu Han is not a particularly materialistic person, and the unique introverted of Oriental people also makes them very loyal after betting on feelings, so this contract model is actually the most impressive to Liu Han.

Cuban finally decided to listen to the doctor's opinion, he also knew in contact with Liu Han that this is a very sincere person, it is indeed a bit unorthodox to play tricks on such a person, although this world is indeed very material in nature, but this does not prevent Cuban from liking people like Liu Han, after all, it will be very reassuring to be friends with such a person.

When Cuban finally came to Liu Han with a new contract with an annual salary of nearly $30 million and a blank contract period, Liu Han was indeed very surprised, Cuban expressed his sincerity, the blank years showed that Liu Han wanted to sign for a few years, and what is even more exaggerated is that the contract marked that Liu Han can decide to jump out of the contract at any time, after determining the idea, Cuban did do very bold, he is an unconventional NBA team owner, but at the same time a very thoughtful boss.
