Sun Hao's performance has not stopped.

He played more than five minutes in the quarter before being substituted, and by the time he got off the court, he had already hit two three-pointers and scored the most eight points on the bench.

And more importantly, the Mavericks played a wave of offensive climaxes in this segment, narrowing the margin to 5 points.

When he left the game, Nelson Sr. took the initiative to come up and pat him on the shoulder.

Obviously, he was quite satisfied with Sun Hao's performance in this section.

His emotions are not unprovoked.

Last season, the Mavericks averaged 101 points per game and were full of firepower on the offensive end.

But among those scores, the starting five Tigers averaged 83.2 points per game, and the bench averaged less than 20 points per game.

In other words, they were clearly unbenched last season.

But this season, they not only have Kukoc, the best sixth man in the past, but now they have Sun Hao, a firepower point.

The performance of the Mavericks' bench in the new season is worth looking forward to.

Sun Hao walked to the bench, and Nelson Jr. took the initiative to get up and hug him, and said a lot of words of encouragement and appreciation.

From signing the rookie contract to coming all the way, this care and enthusiasm is really a bit much.

I knew from Harris that Nelson Jr. was not looking for a son-in-law for himself, could he ......

Sun Hao felt that it was better for him to focus on the game.

With a stellar performance off the bench, the Mavericks have chased the margin to five points.

Nowitzki hit another 3-pointer at the top of the arc after returning, and the margin has been narrowed to a negligible 2 points.

The North Shore Garden Arena is full of restlessness.

It's a 15-point lead at most, and there's only 2 points left in the blink of an eye, which feels ...... It's better not to be so far ahead at the beginning.

However, as Green Shirt fans, their loyalty is still very high, and the situation is deadlocked, and they start to cheer hard for the home team.

The cheers of the fans are the best stimulant, and the two teams are getting more and more fierce on the field.

The intensity of this game is no different from the regular season.

After the intensity of the game came up, the action on the field of the two teams also increased.

Sun Hao also heard trash talk for the first time in an official competition.

Walker broke through Nowitzki with the ball, hit the basket and turned with a two-handed dunk.

The dunk set the crowd on fire, and Walker twisted the iconic butt dance.

"You're a softass!"

Before he finished twisting, he continued to speak to Nowitzki.

Soft egg, this is the most common adjective used by the media to evaluate Nowitzki.

Nowitzki had not yet developed the Golden Rooster at this time, and his style of play mostly relied on running, catching and shooting.

Add to that the fact that he's slow on the defensive end.

The word became almost synonymous with him and the last word Nowitzki wanted to hear.

At the beginning of the team's training match, he had an aversion to Alexander because of this.

Walker's trash talk is a bit of a wolf.

The Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki catches the ball in the high post and then shoots.

His shot is really high, and Walker can't cover it even if he is full of strength.

"Huh!"

Nowitzki gave Walker back an answerball.

Looking back, Walker continued to ask for the ball to single Nowitzki.

"Your defense is as soft as a woman's breasts."

Walker continues to trash-talk attacks.

Sun Hao felt a little big off the field.

These players at the beginning of the world really spewed feces all over their mouths and their mouths were dirty.

He even unconsciously recalled Garnett's classic "Your wife tastes like a sweetheart, nutty wheat."

It's really challenging not to get messed up in the game.

But just as he was thinking about this, the next scene on the field surprised him.

"You're a chattering dwarf winter melon."

Nowitzki, unexpectedly, spewed back at Walker.

And again, to the point.

Walker is a jack-of-all-trades play, but he mainly plays power forward, with a height of 2.06 meters, which is not too tall, but not too short either.

Of course, the tall, short, fat and thin are all based on comparison, and he is indeed a ...... compared to Nowitzki, who is 2.13 meters Dwarf winter melon.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Nowitzki, who is mild-mannered off the field, can even spew trash talk!

Enraged, Walker rampages with the ball and slams to the basket to cause a foul and go to the free throw line.

"You can't stop me from scoring."

Walker continues his trash talk offensive.

"That doesn't change the fact that you're a dwarf winter melon."

"Puff~"

Sun Haozhi [ ] burst out laughing.

Nowitzki not only spews back, but he also looks like a connoisseur!

I really didn't expect you to be such an old driver!

It seems that I will have to learn more from him in this area in the future.

Nowitzki and Walker's trash talk is just the tip of the iceberg of the game.

Hand-to-hand combat and trash talk between the two teams can be seen everywhere.

The intensity of the game is even higher than that of the regular season.

At halftime, the score was 49-50, and the two teams played a five-five half.

This was accepted by Celtics fans on the spot.

Keep in mind that ESPN's prediction for the new season ranks outside the 16th, which is the so-called non-playoff team.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, are predicted to be in eighth place.

But now, they're fighting.

On the commentary bench, Barkley also put the bet aside early, and he began to make fun of the Mavericks like crazy.

You see, the Mavericks are really overrated by ESPN, and like he said, the 76ers are the team that should be in that position.

At halftime, players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another.

Harris said some of the tactical details of the team in the first half, and Nelson Sr. said some words of encouragement and left.

"Dirk, who did you learn trash talk from?"

Sun Hao couldn't help but ask curiously.

He's played in Europe for three years and basically hasn't heard any trash talk.

You must know that the La Liga and Champions League he played are the highest level of competition in Europe.

Nowitzki had only played in the Bundesliga before.

Nowitzki did not answer right away, but burst out laughing.

Obviously, he felt that Sun Hao's question was very interesting.

"Study, everything has to be learned, basketball skills, talking to the media, trash talk is one of them."

Nowitzki was happy to share the experience with his little brother.

After all, what he has experienced is most likely what Sun Hao will experience in the future.

"Dwarf winter melon, Gary Trent said, I learned."

Nowitzki said with a smile.

As he said this, he glanced at Trent not far away.

Trent is the No. 11 pick in '95, a 2.03-meter small forward, who has been scoring above 10+ in the first few years of his career, and is also the main rotation.

But after being injured last season, he has gradually become a fringe member of the team.

"There's something in everyone that you're worth learning, as long as you can discover them."

Nowitzki went on to say something very philosophical.

Sun Hao nodded after listening.

There's nothing wrong with saying this, especially since this is in the NBA, and everyone who can be here is not an ordinary person.

"Dirk, I have a suggestion."

He continued.

"Huh?"

Nowitzki looked at him curiously.

I just listened to what I said, and I had an understanding so quickly, and I made suggestions?

"I watched Walker practice before the game, and the guy likes to shoot threes, and he's not very accurate, and if he makes you trash again, you can try to spray him and force him to shoot threes."

Nowitzki pondered for a moment after listening, and then patted Sun Hao's shoulder with a smile.

You can teach!

Got the essence of trash talk so quickly.

Coming back in the second half, the game on the field was still intense.

The Celtics are determined to win the opener.

It's the same on the Mavericks' side, where Nelson Sr. seems to have heard Barkley's big mouth in the commentary booth.

The pre-season game is more than just a pre-season game.

In the heat of the game, the situation on the field was also constant.

Nowitzki was doing well on the court, and Walker was trash talking to him again.

"Your threes really suck, you don't even dare to shoot."

In Sun Hao's laughter, Nowitzki has started a new trash talk mode.

Walker wasn't provoked at first, but he couldn't stop Nowitzki from spraying it all the time.

said that he was good at everything else, but even said that he couldn't do three points? It's simply insulting to him!

As the big man who is the best at shooting threes, you are joking with me when you say this!

So, Walker started a crazy three-point mode.

Don't say it, his first three-point shot really went in!

Another iconic butt-twisting that ignites the atmosphere at the North Shore Garden Arena.

And then...... There is no then.

Walker went crazy from the outside, and Pierce ignored his request for the ball.

He's going to teach Nowitzki's younger brother, don't you know how to shoot threes? If you dare to educate me with three points, then I will educate you well.

The North Shore Garden Arena fans heard a mamba symphony and could feel their baskets roaring at them.

Walker, in just five minutes, shot five three-pointers in a row!

Without exception, all iron!

"I rely on ......"

Even Sun Hao was shocked.

He didn't expect his advice to be so effective.

All I can say is...... Walker really loves to shoot threes, and he wants to prove that he can shoot threes.

But it backfired, not to mention his own shooting percentage, Nowitzki is tall and has long arms, and the anti-penetration effect is sparse, but the defense is not bad.

This can be seen in the previous training game, when he prevented Sun Hao from shooting.

So the book, the Mavericks successfully played a wave and directly pulled the score to double digits.

Pierce crossed his hands on his hips with a helpless expression.

The good situation was directly buried.

Sure enough, I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.

Walker, you're going to die if you don't shoot a three-pointer!

The Celtics had no choice but to replace Walker to calm down.

"Look, I'm not wrong, your three points really suck."

Before Walker came off the court, Nowitzki said calmly.

Walker felt like he was blown up, but the referee was next to him, and he had to grit his teeth and go off the field.

After Walker went off the court, Pierce was alone, and the Mavericks kept pulling the score away and quickly determined the victory.

At the end of the third quarter, the score had become 73-58, and the final quarter was directly played into garbage time.

Nowitzki played the entire quarter and his personal score had risen to a game-high 23 points.

When he came down, he found Sun Hao was a bear hug.

The advice given to him by Sun Hao, the old brother, is really super effective.
