Because of his outstanding results in the regular season, but he was never able to lead the team to further progress in the playoffs, Nowitzki was dubbed a soft egg by the bricks.

The familiar scene is also what Gasol received in the NBA.

Or to sum it up, the NBA's attitude towards overseas players at this time has always been like this.

You can't lead the team to win the championship, you're a softie, and if you win the championship, you take off the hat of the softie.

Unfortunately, the current Dallas "soft eggs" are still double yellow.

The other one came in with Nowitzki at this time, with medium-long hair and an iconic Canadian face......

Steve Nash.

Nash, like Kobe, is a member of the '96 Golden Generation.

However, he didn't perform well in the first few years of his career, and was traded to the Mavericks after playing for the Suns for two years.

And when it came to the Mavericks, they didn't improve much, averaging only 8.6 points and 4.9 assists per game last season, and they played off the bench half of the time.

With this kind of performance, I don't think anyone can think about how good he can play.

It's even an exaggeration that if he hadn't signed a five-year contract with the Mavericks last summer, he would probably not be with the Mavericks anymore.

But that didn't seem to affect his mood.

When he appeared in the training gym with Nowitzki, the two of them talked and laughed.

To sum up, when Nash was first traded to the Mavericks, it was when Nowitzki entered the league.

Both of them have very kind tempers, plus they are both overseas players who have a common language, so it is normal for the relationship to be good.

The two came in and greeted Cuban and Nelson Sr., and then sat down and chatted.

The trial soon began, and Sun Hao also withdrew his eyes from the two of them and began to devote himself to the trial.

The same process was repeated, and Sun Hao's performance was just as good as when he was in Chicago.

This time, he was blown up by defender Jamal Jackson from California, as well as DeSean Stevenson.

In the trials that followed, including the whole game, he was also the best defender on the field.

"Oh, incredible strength."

Nowitzki was applauded.

"Yes, this Asian defender is not the same as the defender I know."

Nash nodded in agreement, and like Kobe Bryant before him, it was the first time he had seen an Asian guard who could play in the NBA.

"Do you know where he played before?"

Nowitzki asked with a smug expression.

"Europe?"

"How do you know?"

Nowitzki didn't expect Nash to hit the ground running.

"He's smart guys, he's got a lot of vision, he's got a good pick-and-roll, and that's a lot like you."

Nash's next words amused Nowitzki, which was a change of direction and a sycophant.

"I think he's a score-oriented guard, just a little shorter, otherwise you're going to be a historical pairing."

Nowitzki also slapped back a sycophant.

Two future Hall of Fame players are tormenting and unscrupulously showing affection there.

They could also hear their appreciation for Sun Hao between the words.

However, at this time, it was not the two of them who admired Sun Hao the most, but the old Nelson standing on the sidelines with a smile on his face.

Old Nelson, known as the "mad scientist".

It's a title for one person, and it's definitely worthy of its name.

It may be hard for you to imagine that the run-and-gun master who will be known to fans in the future actually started out as a defensive player when the Bucks first made their coaching debut.

It may be hard for you to imagine that the "shark hacking tactic" that is well known to fans and carried forward by Popovich was actually invented by him, and it was originally aimed at Rodman, the "flower bug" of the Bulls.

It's probably harder to imagine the "playmaker" known to fans because of Pippen, a term that was also invented by Nelson Sr., who was first given the responsibility by Marquis Johnson and Paul Plessy of the Bucks.

Although he has yet to win a championship, he cannot be compared to "Cardinal" Auerbach, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, or even Popovich in the eyes of experts.

But he is as well-known in the NBA as any of them, and even the changes he brought to basketball are unmatched by others.

is such a mad scientist, and now his eyes are full of light when he looks at Sun Hao.

He really likes this short guard who can throw three points, and the key is that compared with the short guards he coached, Sun Hao is obviously smarter to play.

Smart and thrown, this is simply a defender tailor-made for him.

"Mark, I want him."

Toward the end of the trial, the elder Nelson spoke to Cuban in an almost commanding tone.

It's the first time Cuban has seen Nelson Sr. like a player so much.

Although, in his opinion, the Asian player's defense is only a little better than Nash sitting on the sidelines.

"Do you want him to start the season? If not, I don't think we're necessarily going to pick him, and I've heard that L.A. is interested in him as well. ”

Cuban said with a smile.

"It's not time to think about that yet, but I'm sure I need this little guy."

Old Nelson really likes Sun Hao.

"So, you let Steve go head-to-head with him and see how much strength he really has."

Kuban suddenly made a suggestion.

Old Nelson was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Nash was also beside him, and he ...... Nodded directly.

"Steve, you and Sun have a one-on-one game."

He turned his head.

Nash stood up when he heard this, a look of embarrassment flashing across his face.

Because he was not far away, he could hear the exchange between Cuban and Nelson Sr.

Last season's starting point guard Robert Pike is likely to leave the team when his contract expires, and the new season will be his first year as a starting point guard for the team.

Unexpectedly, Cuban directly said that he would choose a rookie to play as a starter.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this sends a signal that Cuban is not too cold about him.

"Don't be too hard."

Nowitzki slapped Nash on the ass.

Nash smiled and nodded.

Although Cuban's words are uncomfortable, he is not the kind of person who must be compared, and it is not a good idea to bully a rookie in his understanding.

And knowing that Sun Hao is also from Europe, he will also give Nowitzki face.

The other players on the field all came off the field one after another, leaving the field to Sun Hao and Nash.

Sun Hao was a little confused at first.

Tryouts were supposed to be between rookies, and it was completely unfair to play with current NBA players.

No one is messing around in the NBA, and the mess will disappear long after a year or two.

Nash is not the Wind Child of the future, but he is already a starter-level player.

But looking at the expectant eyes of old Nelson, he understood.

The Mavericks should be interested in him a lot, and this is to try his strength ceiling.

After thinking about it, he didn't have any thought baggage.

From the European joint trial to the present, Turkoglu in different positions is not counted, and the strongest one he has played against is Reid during the trial in Chicago.

But Reed, although the future proves to be an underrated player, the all-time draft pick is also the 43rd pick in the second round.

"Be careful."

Nash reminded Sun Hao with a smile after coming on the court.

Sun Hao nodded.

Five balls, Sun Hao attacked first.

As a traverser, Sun Hao is still relatively clear about Nash's technical characteristics, shooting accurately, passing the ball well, and defending poorly.

What the? The current Nash is not the Nash that fans are familiar with?

It's just weaker in every way.

Nash is limited by mediocre physical fitness, and he can't make it to the NBA just by breaking through like Ginobili or Reed.

Sun Hao chose to break through with the first goal.

Although Nash's defensive position was not too close to him, and he had space for three-point shots, he still chose to break through.

Nash's reaction was quick, and he also judged Sun Hao's offensive intentions for the first time.

In terms of ball business, at this time, he has not lost to Sun Hao.

Break to the free throw line, and the two people directly face off physically.

Sun Hao soon discovered that Nash's physical confrontation was much stronger than he had imagined.

One word flashed through his mind, reference.

Nash's weakness is relative to the NBA, and no matter how mediocre his physical fitness is, he has been in the NBA for four years.

Compare Howard, Brother Alphabet, Yao Ming, any player, before entering the NBA and after the NBA, you will know how much the NBA's professional training has improved the player's confrontation.

Even if he's Nash.

However, Sun Hao's ten years of hard training in the system are not in vain, you must know that he himself is an NCAA trainer!

"Huh!"

Sun Hao completely relied on confrontation to squeeze Nash away and put the ball in the basket.

1 to 0.

Sun Hao scored first.

There was a burst of whistles and cheers from the sidelines.

During the trial, the players were in competition with each other, but now Sun Hao and Nash are on the same side, and they are on the same side as Sun Hao.

Sun Hao's second ball.

He still chose to break through, Nash still predicted in place, and he still had the upper hand after the two of them confronted.

However, Nash's defense obviously increased the intensity this time, and he reached out to interfere with Sun Hao's shot.

It's just that his body can't keep up with his thoughts, and when he interferes, he hit Sun Hao's hand, and was fouled by Harris, and the ball is still Sun Hao's.

Sun Hao holds the ball again.

Nash's defensive stance this time around is noticeably lower.

He has realized that Sun Hao knows his technical characteristics very well, and he is afraid of exchanging the ball, so he uses his physical fitness to scare him.

Facts have also proved that Sun Hao does have the attributes of a small steel cannon, and he has an advantage in physical confrontation.

His current idea is not to go head-to-head with Sun Hao, but to prevent Sun Hao from starting.

Pulling away and sliding up for grabs, that's what he's going to do next.

But what he didn't expect was that Sun Hao suddenly chose to shoot three-point!

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound of entering the net, Sun Hao's three-point shot fell into the pocket steadily.

2 to 0!

"Good! Good! ”

This time, not only the players on the sidelines, but even Nowitzki sat up straight and reached out to applaud Sun Hao.

Nash couldn't help but glance back at Nowitzki.

Who was the person who just said that he should not be too ruthless? Now turn your head and applaud Sun Hao?

This is...... Plastic brothers!
