Although, it is not difficult to understand that Nowitzki would say such a thing.

Last season's Western Conference finals and the World Championships missed the medals, he held back for too long.

The Mavericks started the game with a perfect start, and unlike the previous win by being in good form, they really showed their strength.

Coupled with his own fiery state, this is the kind of emotion that belongs to him, and naturally blurts it out.

After winning the Pistons, the Mavericks continued to work hard and won the Heat and Raptors one after another, extending the winning streak to 7 games!

At this time, not only Dallas, but also the league are talking about the Mavericks.

Later generations look back on history, the three major topics at the beginning of the 2002~2003 season: Dongmai, Xike, and Changsheng Niu.

Dongmai refers to the eastern maddie.

After scoring 43 points in his debut, Maddie began his scoring performance all the way, averaging 35+ per game for half a month!

The white horse spear is invincible.

The scoring champion is already waving at him.

And he is not alone on the way to scoring, because the lemon tree planted by Sun Hao in Kobe's heart has blossomed and borne fruit!

Sico refers to Kobe Bryant in the West!

This season's Kobe Bryant, his personal desire to attack has reached the peak of his career.

He averaged 23+ shots per game, a full 5 more than O'Neal!

Don't think that 5 times is not a lot, as long as the foul is caused in a basketball game, it will not be counted as a shot.

So you see 5 times, but what you really see when you play is much more than that.

With a surge of shots, Kobe's average points per game also exceeded the 30-point mark for the first time!

Despite the Lakers' ups and downs since the start of the season, no one seems to be able to stop Kobe Bryant from becoming the new king of Los Angeles.

Then, there is the winning cow.

The Mavericks' performance since the start of the season, like Kenny Smith said, opponents can't seem to find a way to beat them.

Or, as Nowitzki said, the Mavericks are ready to win the championship.

The three major topics, after tea and dinner, are talked about with relish.

This time, it seems that even if Nowitzki sets the flag, he won't be able to kill the Mavericks.

After winning seven in a row, the Mavericks host old rivals Spurs at home.

They have already managed to get revenge on the Spurs last season, and in the face of the opponent that the old Nelson wants to win the most, they naturally will not hold back, and launched a crazy offensive from the beginning.

But the result of the game was a little unexpected for everyone.

101-108, the Mavericks' seven-game winning streak was ended by the Spurs.

With 101 points, the Mavericks' own offense is fine.

But the Spurs, who have never been known for their offense, scored 108 points!

In addition to Duncan's daily 25+15 statistics, Ginobili also scored 21 points, and Parker also scored 16 points and 6 assists.

The Spurs also seem to have found a new way to play with the Mavericks.

Defensively, I do my best, not necessarily to kill you, but I have my own firepower on the offensive end.

Anyway, the team that scores more points wins the game by playing to the end.

Nowitzki's flag seems to have come true in the end.

The first loss of the season, and again to the Spurs.

The Mavericks felt like they were on a roller coaster ride en masse, reaching the top and then sliding to the bottom with a slam down.

That hit hard.

In the next game with the Pistons, the Mavericks' morale was poor, and the Pacers' defense was airtight, and finally lost the game and suffered a wave of two consecutive defeats.

In the dressing room after the game, the atmosphere in the team was a little dull.

"Don't be as depressed as your wife ran away, keep your eyes open and see who the number one league is! Find a few women to cool off at night, and tomorrow will be another beautiful day! ”

Barkley's post-match encouragement was special, but it worked.

The team members started laughing loudly again while taking a shower.

Sun Hao came out of the shower and saw Nowitzki still sitting there in a daze, not even rubbing the skin of his feet, and he looked preoccupied.

Not long after, the players left the locker room one after another.

Nowitzki is still sitting there.

"Dirk?"

Sun Hao put his schoolbag on his back and was about to leave, and when he saw that Nowitzki hadn't moved, he called out to him.

Nowitzki hadn't heard the first time, and he didn't look up until he shouted a second time.

It wasn't until he looked around the locker room that there was no one else that he came to his senses.

"What do you think?"

Sun Hao put down his schoolbag first, walked to him and sat down.

"Sun, I still don't understand why we lost, to the Spurs and the Pacers."

Nowitzki's words explain why he was in a daze for so long.

In this wave of consecutive defeats, he is the biggest difference in the Mavericks' mood.

As he said in his previous post-match press conference, he was already thinking about winning the championship, but reality gave him a head-on blow.

"Dirk, it's just two regular season games."

Sun Hao feels that Nowitzki's mentality this season is a little wrong.

Although the Mavericks have become stronger, it is impossible to win all the time!

'But we didn't play badly and we beat them last season.'

Nowitzki struggled with this place.

It's acceptable to lose to the Lakers, but it's acceptable to lose to the Spurs and Pacers.

The Spurs got their revenge last season, and the Pacers never lost.

Doesn't that mean they're weaker than last season?

"They're getting stronger."

Sun Hao didn't say anything like poisoned milk, but said very seriously.

"Is there one?"

Nowitzki was stunned for a moment.

The Spurs have not made any substantial additions this summer.

If you sign a veteran Kevin Willis, it counts.

It's a similar story for the Pacers, and Miller is a year older.

"Of course, getting stronger doesn't necessarily mean trading and signing, haven't you noticed that Ginobili, Parker and Artest have all improved a lot?"

Sun Hao probably knows what Nowitzki thinks when he talks about this.

He couldn't tell Nowitzki that the Spurs were the all-time champion of the year, or that the Nowitzki Pacers would have the league's best regular season record next year.

But he can explain all of this.

Last season, the Spurs lost to them because of their outside strength, although they had Ginobili and Parker, but they were too immature.

But now that they are in the second grade, both of them have improved a lot.

Ginobili, in particular, is more mature after experiencing the baptism of the World Championships.

As for the Pacers, they are not weak, and Artest's rapid growth has made up for their weakest forward.

Just like "what would Sabonis have played if he had entered the NBA earlier", another topic that fans are keen to discuss is "would the Pacers have become the ultimate champion if it hadn't been for the Auburn Palace incident".

Therefore, the Spurs and Pacers, although the lineup has not changed much, the improvement in strength is no smaller than that of the Mavericks.

"Nobody is standing still, aren't we always improving?"

Sun Hao saw that Nowitzki didn't speak, and continued.

With the exception of a few who squandered their talents like Robinson, the majority of NBA players train hard.

It was Kobe Bryant who saw Los Angeles at 4 a.m., but there were also more teams that knew what other cities were like at 4 a.m.

To put it bluntly, there are only so many people in the NBA league that can fit in, if you don't work hard, there are people who can replace you.

"I see."

Nowitzki nodded.

This is not the same as playing the game to clear the customs, it is not to kill a boss, and the next time you get there, you can pass it smoothly.

Because their opponents are getting stronger just like them.

"Keep a normal mind, we're very strong this season, but we're never good enough to win a championship easily, even if it's the Lakers, didn't they almost get beaten by the Kings and us last season? And our record since the start of the tournament has something to do with our opponents. ”

Although Sun Hao has not experienced winning the championship, his positioning for the Mavericks is still very clear.

The Kings, Spurs and Lakers in the West, the Pacers, Celtics, Wizards and Nets in the East, as well as last season, are still strong or even stronger.

The only difference is that they were the challengers last season, but this season, at least they are on the same level.

As for who wins and who loses in the end, it depends on the on-the-spot performance and adjustment.

Or in other words, many teams in the West have the strength to win the championship this season, and whoever wins in the end will get a championship with very high gold content.

The day after chatting with Sun Hao, Nowitzki came back to life in training sessions.

And he took the initiative to motivate his teammates and pull back the morale of the team.

Sun Hao can feel that Nowitzki really wants to win this season.

And these experiences have also made him slowly mature.

Well, from novice drivers to mature veteran drivers.

Just then, a message came out of the alliance.

Yao Ming signed a sneaker endorsement contract with Nike.

Don't think it's surprising that because the center doesn't sell shoes, the sneaker contract is generally signed slowly.

When Sun Hao heard the news, he sent a congratulatory text message to Yao Ming as soon as he heard the news.

In history, Yao Ming's sneakers were signed by Reebok.

But to be honest, the quality of Reebok's shoes is not very good, especially the shoes used by the center, which can even be described as poor.

Theoretically speaking, people of Yao Ming's weight have a heavier load on their knees and ankles, but it is his thumb that hurts him the most.

A similar situation happened to O'Neill.

And in addition to their heavy weight, the two of them have one thing in common.

That's right, it's all Reebok shoes worn.

So in a sense, Yao Ming's early career reimbursement also has a lot to do with Reebok shoes.

After all, shoes are the most important thing about a player.

Now because of his relationship, in order to fight against Adi, Nike has increased its attention to Yao Ming, and has paid a lot of money to sign Yao Ming.

This team is also good news for Yao Ming.

After Nowitzki got his attention, he hit another 35+15 stats against the Trail Blazers, beating Rasheed Wallace and leading the team to a big win over the opponent.

After the game, Sun Hao, as a teammate, felt that Nowitzki's state this season really had a chance to compete for MVP.

And he's also passing the ball to Nowitzki more.

The team's goal this season is to win the championship, and there is nothing wrong with passing the ball to whoever is in the best form.

After playing the Trail Blazers, the Mavericks won back-to-back games against the Bucks and Suns.

With 9 wins and 2 losses in 11 games, the Mavericks have the highest record in the league.

Just like Sun Hao said, the Mavericks are very strong this season.

The regular season is steady and steady, and the playoffs are when the game officially begins.

And that sentence is true, only by standing tall can you see far.

The Lakers played a relatively paddling regular season in the first two seasons, and when the strength arrived, at the beginning of the regular season, they were thinking about the playoffs.

After the win against the Suns, the Mavericks rested for two days to host the Wizards.

The Wizards have made little changes to their roster this offseason, with Barkley gone, and they have added another veteran, Danny Manning.

It is the 88-year-old champion show mentioned at the World Championships who was tyrannized by Schmidt with Mourning at the Pan American Games.

Manning's role is similar to that of Ross Barkley last season.

However, the Wizards' record this season has improved a lot, and now 8-3 is ahead of the Nets, Celtics and Pacers, temporarily ranking first in the East.

The biggest reason is Van Gundy's entry into the house and Yao Ming's progress.

Jordan seems to have figured out one thing after playing last season, he is 40 years old, and he can't fight for everything like he did at 20 anymore.

So in the new season, he has drastically reduced his shots, from 23 last season to 17 this season.

With that came increased efficiency, with his shooting percentage increasing to 46 percent.

Although it is still not comparable to its peak, it is 3 percentage points higher than last season.

His average data per game is also stable at around 22+5+6.

All in all, he played with less effort and more efficiently.

And the part of the ball he divided basically went to Yao Ming's hands.

As a result, in the second year of his career, Yao Ming began to have a clear upward trend.

So far this season, he has averaged 13 shots per game, averaging 18.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 51% from the field.

In terms of stats alone, this is already the second center in the league after O'Neal.

A large number of Yao Ming fans have appeared in Washington, and they have even created the Yao song "Yao Ming is dead".

Because of Sun Hao's appearance, Yao Ming didn't go to Houston like in history, but it doesn't seem to affect those off the court.

It still has to happen, and it will come faster than in history.

The day before the game between the two teams, the Wizards arrived in Dallas.

Yao Ming, I'm here to find Sun Hao.

"I have something I'd like to ask for your opinion."

Yao Ming's intention made Sun Hao a little surprised.

As he knew, from the earliest contact to a series of subsequent events, Yao Ming was a very independent person.

For example, when he negotiated with the Basketball Association, he never made a phone call to Sun Hao, and for example, he just signed Nike, and Sun Hao only learned about it through the media.

Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian are completely two personalities.

Speaking of which, the last time something like this happened was when Yao Ming decided whether to run in advance or not.

But after listening to what Yao Ming said, Sun Hao was not surprised.

Because this time it may be more important than whether or not to run early.

"Jeff wants me to gain weight, should I do that?"

Jeff, referring to Jeff Van Gundy, the current head coach of the Wizards.

Listening to Yao Ming's name, he and Van Gundy get along quite well.

But hearing this, Sun Hao always felt a little familiar.

Last season, the Wizards lost the East Finals, which had a lot to do with Jordan's injury.

But fans struggled to accept Jordan's defeat and blackened Collins in the offseason.

Well, just like the scene before Phil Jackson took office in Chicago.

Collins couldn't stand this pressure of public opinion, and after explaining to Jordan, he took the initiative to resign and leave.

It just so happened that Van Gundy was fired in New York, and the Wizards management directly signed him.

Van Gundy is not a famous coach, and the scene that impresses fans the most is probably in the playoffs that year, in order to stop Mourning and Larry Johnson from fighting, he was dragged several meters to save Mourning's thigh.

He also earned the nickname "Hammock" because he was dragged off the floor by Mourning, resembling a hammock.

But Van Gundy isn't nobody, he's famous in the league for his defense.

In this day and age, defensive coaches are always in demand.

So it's normal for the Wizards to ask him to be their head coach.

Sun Hao's words are also very familiar with him.

The reason, naturally, is because in history, he is the coach who has coached Yao Ming for the longest time.

Bald, rigid, with all sorts of tactical notes written before every game, and a good set of defenses, they don't seem to understand what offense is.

Then, it is to let Yao Ming gain weight.

This is a topic that will be repeatedly mentioned by Chinese fans in the future, and there will never be a result of the discussion.

Supporters say that if Yao Ming does not gain weight, he will not be able to reach the level he will peak in the future.

This is determined by the background of the times, if Yao Ming was born in the small-ball era, then he would be a dominant center if he did not gain weight.

But he was born at the beginning of the century, and if he doesn't gain weight and increase confrontation, he will be called a soft egg, and he will not be dominant on the inside as a center;

Those who oppose it said that Yao Ming's early career did not grow and he did not play badly, and after gaining weight, his physical burden increased sharply, which eventually led to a great shortening of Yao Ming's career.

Now Yao Ming ran to Washington, but he didn't expect Van Gundy to follow.

It felt like fate.

In fact, as for whether Van Gundy is suitable for coaching Yao Ming, it will be constantly mentioned by fans in the future, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion.

But there is one point, Yao Ming is a Virgo, and Virgos strive for perfection and do everything in detail, which is a perfect fit with Van Gundy, who likes to make the most adequate preparations before the game and pay attention to soldiers to block the water and cover the earth.

"Did he say how many kilograms you would gain weight?"

Sun Hao did not give advice immediately, but asked about the specific situation first.

"No, according to what he meant, gain weight a little first to see the effect, and then consider whether to continue in the future."

"I think it's okay to gain weight."

Sun Hao expressed his opinion.

"But I don't think it's like a bottomless pit like he said."

Regarding the question of whether Yao Ming wants to gain weight, Sun Hao feels that the answer is yes.

Not to mention Yao Ming, most international players, and even most players, were thin before entering the NBA.

Say a few familiar names, Howard, Brother Alphabet, Durant.

Even, O'Neill.

That's right, O'Neal was actually gaining weight when he first entered the league.

Because after entering the NBA, you will find that other people's confrontations are stronger than you, and it is difficult for you to play your due strength without gaining weight.

So just like Sun Hao said, there is no problem with reasonable weight gain.

Yao Ming's current weight is about 300 pounds, that is, about 135 kilograms, which is not much different from the 296 pounds when he entered the NBA physical test, that is, 134 kilograms.

But it's clearly on the thin side.

And the reason why Sun Hao said the number 140 kilograms is because before Van Gundy asked Yao Ming to gain weight, he was almost that weight.

That should also be the most suitable weight for Yao Ming.

There is a certain confrontation, but the flexibility is also there.

"Won't it be a little less?"

140 kilograms, which is 10 pounds more than he is now.

This kind of weight gain is very limited for him?

"It's a lot, you have to know the weight and body fat percentage, add the weight, the body fat percentage is subtracted, and your confrontation is actually enough."

Yao Ming didn't speak.

His idea should be that since he has decided to gain weight, adding such a little bit is a bit painless.

You must know that his height is 2.26 meters, and wrapping 10 pounds around his body is the same as adding a drop of water to a bowl.

"Well, I'll give you two options.

First, if you gain 150 kilograms, the data can reach 25+10 or even more, but your career may be about 8 years, and you will often fall into injuries;

Second, if you gain 140 kilograms, the data can probably reach about 19+9, and you may even have the opportunity to average 3 assists per game, and your career can be played for more than 10 years, and the corresponding injuries will be much less. ”

Sun Hao said this very bluntly.

Two choices, two completely different careers.

In history, Yao Ming chose the first type.

Yao Ming now.

"I'll choose the second option."

Yao Ming thought for a while and then said.

"Pretty."

Sun Hao smiled and nodded when he heard this.

He guessed that Yao Ming would choose that.

In fact, Yao Ming has also encountered similar multiple-choice questions in history.

Although Sun Hao is a traverser, his ideas cannot be unique.

However, Yao Ming's background for making this choice is actually different.

Historically, Yao Ming actually played in the NBA under a lot of pressure.

That sentence is very appropriate, others represent themselves, at most their hometown, but Yao Ming represents the country, and China has a population of 1.3 billion.

In addition, his personality is very competitive, so what he wants to do most is to make himself stronger.

He wants to prove that Chinese can also gain a foothold in the NBA.

Even at that time, if the Chinese team wanted to make a breakthrough in the World Series, he had to make himself gain weight.

The career was short, and injuries were not something he could consider.

But now, because of Sun Hao's appearance, all this has changed.

With Sun Hao leading the way, the fans' expectations for him are not as great as in history, and his pressure is naturally much less.

And the World Series, they just won a medal at the World Championships!

Therefore, the perspective of his consideration is naturally different from that in history.

"There is another one, you don't have to gain weight too quickly, let the body adapt slowly."

Sun Hao reminded again.

He wasn't worried about whether Van Gundy would make Yao Ming gain more.

Yao Ming, as he knows, has a strong sense of subjectivity, and he will not change it if he decides.

What he worries about is that Yao Ming is in a hurry, and in history, he has gained weight in a short period of time, which has caused the burden on his body to increase.

Yao Ming nodded, and with Sun Hao's exchange, his future career plan became clearer.

"Da Yao, come on!"

Sun Hao finally got up and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder.

Yao Ming, who has gained 140 kilograms, put on Nike shoes again, and has improved faster because he plays next to Jordan.

He is really, and also looking forward to what kind of career Yao Ming will play like this!

"Okay, see you in the finals."

But right away, he almost fell on his head.

You did it on purpose, right? Both of them are crazy about nowtsky!

The next day, the Mavericks-Wizards game kicked off in Dallas.

This game was extremely intense.

In addition to Jordan's reduction in the number of shots taken by the Wizards this season, another big change is that their starting lineup does not have a real playmaker.

Tim Hardaway and Mobley, who played as starting point guards last season, were both named to the bench by Van Gundy this season.

The starting lineup of the Wizards this season, Jordan, Hamilton, Alexander, Leitner, Yao Ming.

In fact, if you analyze it carefully, you will find that this lineup is very suitable.

Organization? Jordan is averaging 6 assists per game this season, and his scoring ability is destined for him to play playmaking.

plus Yao Ming 2, the two have an average of 8 assists per game.

The two of them, one inside and one outside, are completely enough.

The rest of Leitner's spaciousness inside, Hamilton's off-ball scorer, plus Alexander.

That's right, Alexander, who regards Sun Hao as his lifelong enemy, became the starting small forward of the Wizards, and his performance was quite good.

He seems to have figured it out after playing for two years and transitioned to become a 3D player, but in fact, his physical condition is very suitable.

Defensively, Hamilton and Alexander just came in to help Jordan with the defense.

Both offense and defense have reached a magical balance point.

However, the biggest advantage of this is that Hardaway and Mobley are both on the bench.

Hardaway's age has come up with limited contributions, but Mobley is at his peak!

Just as the Mavericks put Bodiloga off the bench, their bench depth has become quite deep.

The result was the same as when playing the Spurs, neither side could really limit anyone, and they played until the end.

Then, the game became a PK round between Jordan and Sun Hao, the old enemies.

Jordan gathered enough strength, his big ass chiseled Bell, and he turned around beautifully and leaned back to his hands.

Then Bale discovered one thing, Jordan's leaning back is indeed more difficult to defend than Kobe's.

Kobe Bryant is picturesque, he is that picture.

But soon, Sun Hao responded, and after deceiving Alexander with a three-point feint, he burst into the free throw line and scored a one-step throw.

His throw, but Navarro's true biography!

Jordan continued to respond, attacking Bell head-on, although his speed and explosiveness were not as good as before due to his age, but he was really experienced.

A pull-up jump shot with a back-up hit was beautiful again.

Then, Sun Hao changed his way, fake and real shots, and retreated three points to take away the game.

Three points ended up being one more point than two.

100 to 99.

The fans at the scene also ate burritos because of this three-point shot, and they were all happy.

It's a very meaningful thing for the Mavericks.

Because they didn't lose a matchup like they did against the Spurs or the Pacers before.

And after the game, on TNT's "NBA Insider" program, Kerr used one word to describe the Mavericks.

"Balance."

In fact, as Sun Hao continues to play outstanding performances, an inevitable question arises, who is the boss of the team?

The topic of the NBA is very sensitive because there can only be one boss on a team.

Just like the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, they fought over this issue.

Even like the future Ricky Davis said the classic line: I thought he was here to assist me.

It doesn't matter if you're a dual-core, a trident, or a four-headed monster, there's always one that has to be the boss.

But the Mavericks, as Kerr says, strike a delicate balance.

Statistically, Nowitzki is the absolute boss of the Mavericks, and he is the first in the team in terms of shooting and scoring.

But in fact, fans who have watched more Mavericks games will find that at critical moments, the ball is more in Sun Hao's hands.

It's like, the regular time is handed over to you, and the critical time is handed over to me.

This balance is in stark contrast to the Lakers' fight for life and death.

However, it is estimated that there are only 30 teams in the NBA.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki are really rare to have a duo like Sun Hao and Nowitzki who are out of Europe together, have relatively mild personalities, and often run together in the offseason.

But that's why the Mavericks are getting better and better year after year.

Bodi Loga: Meow meow?

After the game against the Wizards, Nelson Sr. gave the players a day off.

This is the "prize" after winning, the regular operation of old Nelson.

However, this day is very special for Sun Hao, because this day is November 26.

Well, Scarlett's birthday.

Scarlett, it's her 18th birthday!

Calm! It's just a birthday.

This is also Scarlett's first birthday after the relationship between the two was confirmed.

Unlike Scarlett, who carefully prepared a song for him before, Sun Hao's birthday gift was relatively simple and straightforward.

He flew straight to Los Angeles and gave Scarlett a green Lamborghini.

Why Green?

Don't you know what colors your girlfriend likes?

When she used to hang out, Scarlett liked to wear a green cap.

And the purpose of this gift is clear.

Scarlett has seen Sun Hao's parents, but Scarlett hasn't taken Sun Hao to meet her parents yet.

So you can only use this side way to prove your financial strength to increase your favorability.

When it comes to love, money still works.

Driving their new cars, they drove along the seaside of Los Angeles at high speed.

Along the way, the two chatted about their movie "Eight-Legged Monster".

The movie was released in the summer, not long ago this month.

Box office, very good.

The production cost of 3 million yuan, and the final total box office exceeded 22 million dollars.

That's more than $5 million more than in history.

The extra part is naturally Sun Hao's contribution.

In addition to the North American side, domestic fans have also made a great contribution.

However, basically the box office comes from Hong Kong, and domestic theaters are still very backward in this era.

If this is placed in the future era of fan marketing, the box office will be guaranteed to break 100 million.

Scarlett said that there would be a celebration party in a week, and Sun Hao agreed after seeing that the time was an offseason, and it was still important to declare the ownership of the inherent territory on that occasion.

While the two were chatting, the car had unconsciously driven to the suburbs.

They parked their car on the shore away from the road.

In front of you is the endless coast and the sandy beach that you can see from afar.

The sea and sky are lined up, and the scenery is beautiful.

It seems to be suitable, do something.

ps: The tomato is long and not watery, and the monthly pass goes a wave~
