"Hey man, you broke my heart, why don't you come to Los Angeles, do you know how much I want you to come?"

Not to Liu's surprise, O'Neal called to complain to him shortly after he began his return to training in Dallas. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Shaq, don't pinch your throat and talk, okay, your voice makes me really tremble, you know, the current Lakers team is not very suitable for me to go, I heard about your team's moves, I think Gary Payton and Karl Malone should not welcome me to the Lakers."

Just when Liu Han signed the Mavericks, the Lakers also made a big move this year, they signed Gary Payton and Karl Malone, both of whom were "persecuted" by Liu Han and Jordan.

The Lakers are now adding O'Neal, Karl Malone, Gary Payton and Michael Finley, who is getting better and better, the strength of the lineup can be called the top in the league, and some media even call the Lakers the "Big Four" team, although Gary Payton and Karl Malone have declined because of age, but I have to admit that these two "masters" are not fuel-efficient lamps.

"Man, they're here to hug my thigh, of course it's different if you come, I believe we can still sweep the alliance if we work together again."

"Shaq, I can only say sorry again, I really don't really want to go to the Lakers."

"Okay, man, then I can only wish you a happy life in Dallas, but you have to be careful, I won't show the slightest mercy when it comes to the game."

O'Neill heard the resoluteness in Liu Han's words, so he stopped persuading Liu Han.

Liu Han's competitive form gradually returned to his peak form with the team's players returning to joint training, and everyone in the team except for Anthony Walker and Tony Delco was conquered by Liu Han's strength. Especially some young players, they had doubts about Liu Han's state before, but after being "educated" by Liu Han one by one in training, their attitude has changed dramatically, and even Josh Howard, who has a weird personality, does not dare to blow up in front of Liu Han anymore.

Liu Han's compatriot Xue Yuyang also rushed to Dallas in late September, for this "senior" who solved his big problem, Xue Yuyang was extremely grateful, and also admired the ability of the other party, and followed Liu Han almost closely every day, trying to learn something from Liu Han.

The team's players began to enter active joint practice, while the team management and head coach Don Nelson were entangled in the team's lineup problems, the first and most important point is to clean up the "discordant factors" in the team, for Anthony Walker and Tony Delco, who have strong conflicts with Liu Han, the Mavericks management is to trade out as much as possible.

"Steve, did those two guys get into trouble with Liu in training again?"

Don Nelson doesn't go to the gym very often, but his assistant coach, Steve, who is responsible for the day-to-day training, knows the team inside out.

"I warned them that they have been quieter recently after the first day of conflict with Liu, but Anthony Walker is sometimes very lonely in training games, never passing the ball to Liu Han or cooperating with Liu, I think it is not suitable for these two people to stay in the team, they should be cleared out as soon as possible, so as not to affect the quality of the team's training."

"Well, you're right, Steve, I've decided to hand over the team's possession to Liu in the future, if others are not willing to cooperate with Liu, it will really affect the team's training and games."

For Tony Delco, the Mavericks are very easy to deal with, the base salary signed by the other party, and in terms of strength, Delco is also okay, suitable as a good trade object, and can trade suitable substitute players for the team, but Anthony Walker's contract is tens of millions, and the Celtics have also brushed a series of good data in the past few years, which is quite bluffing, but if you want to trade, you can't find an equivalent trading partner, so you can only find a way to make a three-way or even four-way transaction.

The Tony Delco deal was quickly completed, and at the insistence of the old coach Nelson, the Mavericks traded Tony Delco to the Philadelphia 76ers' rookie Kyle Cornwall this year.

The Anthony Walker trade was more difficult, the Mavericks brought in the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat for a three-way trade, the Mavericks sent Anthony Walker and the '04 lottery-protected first-round pick, the 76ers sent Allen McGee and Willie Green, and the Heat sent potential rookie Lamar Odom.

Mavericks get Lamar? Odom and veteran Allen McGee, the 76ers got Anthony Walker, the Heat got Willie Green and the Mavericks signed, and everyone felt that the three-way trade was profitable.

Anthony Walker and Tony Delco didn't expect that they hadn't been able to find trouble with Liu Han, and the team directly "cleaned up" them.

And the Mavericks players also saw how high Liu Han's status in the team was, and even Nowitzki, who was a proud disciple of Nelson, had to admit that he could only be regarded as the second-in-command.

On October 6, 2003, the 03-04 NBA preseason officially began, and this year's Mavericks game was held on the first day of the preseason, against the Utah Jazz, who were close to falling apart.

The game was a lot of attention, and the league also promoted it to a certain extent, because this game will be the first game for superstar Liu Han to return to the NBA after several years of absence.

On October 6, at the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas, under the attention of nearly 20,000 fans, Liu Han once again stepped on the NBA court.

To the surprise of the media and fans, Liu Han started directly in this game, and the position he held was the brain of a team - point guard, which made many people guess Nelson's thoughts, after all, in their opinion, Liu Han has been away from basketball for many years, his strength should decline greatly, and the Mavericks should slowly let Liu Han adjust.

But what they don't know is that Liu Han's basketball strength has not declined in the slightest, on the contrary, it is even better than before.

"Let's welcome the returning king, the all-round warrior Han from the East - Liu." With the whistle of the opening DJ, Liu Han ran into the brand new court, and he raised his hands high, like a king patrolling the territory.

"Finally, it's back again, and this will be my new territory."

Liu Han's eyes were firm and persistent.
