"Hey, Liu, this is weird, you've gained a lot of weight recently, did Tang give you a new task?"

During a routine physical test after the Mavericks New Year, the inspectors found that Liu Han's weight had increased a little compared to the previous test, and they thought it was a special arrangement for Liu Han by Coach Nielsen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uh, it doesn't seem to be, okay, I know, I'll pay attention to the weight problem, don't tell anyone about it, okay?"

"Haha, Liu, this is not like you, your weight has always been the most standard, don't worry, I won't tell others."

The inspector squeezed his eyes, and Liu Han's slight weight gain was not a big problem.

Liu Han himself actually knows the reason for his weight gain, recently Anna always secretly stuffs some things she doesn't like to eat into Liu Han's mouth, LaBeouf can tinker with some of his "new Chinese dishes" almost every day, some can be eaten, and some are really not very palatable, but seeing his beloved with threatening or cute eyes, Liu Han still swallowed it with discomfort in the taste.

Today is January 9, 2004, and the Mavericks have an important game today, that is, against the Eastern Conference powerhouse Pacers, Liu Han finished his physical examination in the morning and has a final tactical drill with the team in the afternoon.

As soon as he arrived at the training hall, Liu Han met Odom.

"Hey, man, I heard that you gained weight, what's the matter, you're the most disciplined, haha, didn't you steal Anna's good stuff and eat it."

After Odom's teasing, Liu Han would be asked like this when he met someone.

"Damn, that guy's mouth is bigger than the Pacific Ocean." Liu Han couldn't help but complain about the "very strict-mouthed" inspector.

The Mavericks' opponent tonight is the Pacers, who are now second in the East, and as a long-established powerhouse in the East, they stick to their own style and are good at learning from other teams.

In Larry? Bird incorporated the style of team basketball during his tenure before succeeding Larry? Isaiah of Bird? Thomas brought to the team the iron-blooded style of the Pistons at the turn of the 80s and 90s of the last century, and now the head coach who takes over the team is former Pistons coach Rick? Carlisle, he's also a coach who emphasizes defense, so the Pacers' defense is at the top of the game in the East where defense is prevalent, maybe only Larry? Brown's Pistons are unmatched.

Speaking of the Pacers, we have to mention Miller, there have been many guys named Miller in the league, but the best one is of course Reggie? Miller.

At the age of 38, Reggie Miller is still active on the NBA stage, and although his playing time has been reduced to less than 30 minutes per game, his unparalleled three-point shooting is still a deterrent weapon for the Pacers.

Miller was a man who dared Jordan to call for the game back then, and although he unfortunately hasn't been able to get a championship ring until now, he is now the player with the most three-point shots in the NBA so far, with nearly 2,500 three-pointers that many players in the current team will never forget.

Liu Han was originally known as the "New Miller" when he was at UCLA, and he has now shot nearly 1,000 three-pointers so far, you must know that Liu Han has only played two seasons in the NBA before, and this season is his third season, if nothing else, Liu Han has a good chance of breaking Reggie Miller's record for total three-point goals.

The current Pacers team has a very strong ability on defense, and there are defensive players on the team, both inside and outside. Miller's defense and not to mention, just a Ron? Artest has already been able to give a lot of teams a headache for the swing guards.

The physically strong Artest was selected by the Bulls with the 16th pick in the first round in 1999, and his rookie season has a good performance, strong strength, good defensive skills, and a dog-like personality, which gives him the potential to become a top outside defender.

In addition to Artest, the Pacers also have O'Neal Jr., Jeff? Foster and a group of excellent defenders on the inside, and the whole team integrated some of the fierce warriors of the Pistons during the coaching period of Isaiah Thomas, Isaiah Thomas may not be a coach with his own tactical ideas, but his style is very distinctive, although he is a point guard, but he was the boss of the Pistons team that year, and even once suppressed the Bulls led by Jordan in the East, so that the Bulls hated the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years. Later, in '92, NBA players were allowed to compete in the Olympics for the first time, and the coach at that time was the coach of the Pistons, Chuck? Daley, the starting point guard of the year was undoubtedly Isaiah Thomas, but Jordan threatened to have him without me, with me without him, and the United States Basketball Association finally chose to compromise with the imposing Jordan, and Isaiah Thomas missed the title of the Olympic Games and the Dream Team because of this.

The current prevalence of defense in the league is actually influenced to a certain extent by teams such as the Pacers, Pistons and Spurs, these three teams have achieved very good results in recent years by relying on defense, so many teams have been affected and began to focus on defense, until the emergence of the Mavericks has changed the situation.

In the face of such an opponent, the Mavericks naturally attach great importance to it, and whether they can win at home depends on whether they can break the turtle shell of the Pacers.

In the afternoon tactical drill, the Mavericks made some adjustments mainly to the defense of the Pacers, the most important thing is to see if Liu Han can attract enough defensive attention from the opponent, as long as the rest of the Mavericks can open, then this game will not be too much of a problem.

The Mavericks are actively preparing for the game, and the Pacers are also very important to this game, the Mavericks are in first place in the league after 12 consecutive wins, and the Pacers are now one win behind the Pistons, so the Pacers also very much want to win in this game, especially young people such as Artest and O'Neal Jr., they are young and vigorous after all, and Liu Han's great fame makes each of them look forward to meeting Liu Han face to face, if they can beat Liu Han and the Mavericks, then they may gain more than just fame.

Since ancient times, there is no first, no second, and even more so on the basketball court, the winner takes everything, and the loser can only return home and lick the blood.

In addition, Reggie Miller also really wants to see the current Liu Han, he was a little jealous of Liu Han back then, and now this jealousy is still there, he has been in the NBA for almost 18 years, but he has nothing to gain, and his little "junior brother" Liu Han has a championship as soon as he arrives in the NBA, which has to make Miller jealous, not to mention that both of them are famous for their three-point shots, and Miller does not want to be a stepping stone for future generations.
