The day after the trade deadline ended, Sun Hao went outside for a spin.

He should have gone to see Anne, but he couldn't go empty-handed, he had to bring something.

However, because of Anne's specialness, especially at this age, things are not particularly easy to choose.

The age of the puppet toys or something is a little over, and the watch is not used in a small trolley box or something.

Finally he stopped as he passed by a video store.

The current network is not very developed, and watching movies is not as convenient as in the future, and most movies are stored in discs.

If Anne is always at home, it would be a good choice to watch a movie when she is bored.

After he went in, he picked up some American family dramas, which little girls would love to watch.

In addition to these, he went to the bookstore to buy some books that children of this age can read, and then went to buy a pink hat.

After thinking about it, it's almost over.

He took a taxi to Little Nelson's house and saw Anne already waiting for him at the door.

In Sun Hao's last life, there was an epidemic in the world, and almost everyone experienced one thing at that time.

"When you are given a room with food and drink, and WIFI, how long can you stay in it."

The answer is that it really won't last long, if it weren't for the existence of a certain sound, it is estimated that many people would be suffocating (advertising fee 5 cents).

Of course, this was not the era in which Sun Hao lived, and there was no outbreak of such a large-scale epidemic, but Anne rarely went out for her own reasons.

Even without the pandemic, she was going through something like that.

So to see her like Sun Hao is really a very happy thing for her.

Sun Hao greeted little Nelson and waved to Anne with a smile.

It was completely different from the Joceline she had met in Spain, because she rarely went out, she was a very simple little girl.

When Sun Hao handed her the gift, her happiness was all written on her face.

"You're the second brother to be so nice to me."

Anne liked the pink hat the most, and she didn't forget to say it after putting it on.

"Who's the first?"

Sun Hao was very curious.

"Like you, I'm also a Chinese."

Anne said with a small smile.

"Anne is talking about the king."

Little Nelson said with a smile on the side.

Then, Sun Hao heard something from Little Nelson's mouth.

The Mavericks have been following Wang Zhizhi since 1998, and then drafted him in 1999, and they are trying to bring him to the NBA every year.

Although it has never been successful, Wang Zhizhi will come to Dallas when he does not play in the national team in the summer.

Wang Zhizhi was much better than Sun Hao, and often came to play with Anne and his other two children when he was in Dallas.

Sun Hao didn't expect this story.

But in such a comparison, he is really a little ashamed.

Anne went to the room to watch a movie, and little Nelson also talked to Sun Hao about some other things.

There's a lot about the future of the team.

"I actually don't approve of the Juwan trade, because in the playoffs we don't have a center who can guard the basket, and we will be very passive."

What Sun Hao didn't expect was that Nelson's understanding of team building seemed to be a little different from that of Nelson Sr.

As for saying this to Sun Hao, it is estimated that no one will say it.

Nelson Sr. is the general manager of the team and the head coach of the team, plus his character, it is the same.

"I think Mr. Cuban is right when he says that no one knows if he's right until anything has been tried."

Sun Hao's "Emotional Intelligence" course is becoming more and more proficient.

After all, Nelson is father and son, just like a couple who break up and persuade not to separate, they have to consider each other's relationship when they speak.

"That's right."

Little Nelson seems to have been explained by Sun Hao.

"Maybe it will work."

……

Three days after the trade deadline, Uncle Huo and Booth completed their physical examinations and reported to the team.

"How's your magpie?"

As soon as he arrived at the locker room, Second Uncle Huo quickly chatted with Sun Hao.

As he thought before, there is no shortage of topics between them when they have pets.

"I think I might have to sign him up for cram school."

Sun Hao opened his mouth and said.

Second Uncle Huo looked at Sun Hao suspiciously.

"Otherwise, I think it will delay that child's learning."

Second Uncle Huo couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this.

"Where's that lion cat of yours?"

"It's in my house, and I've brought all my cats to Dallas and come back to my house as a guest."

Second Uncle Huo said with a smile.

Sun Hao nodded, there was no run-in period between the two at all.

The system also shows that they have a favorable opinion rating of 58, which is already a pretty high score.

Sure enough, pets are the bridge that builds communication between people.

There was a survey that showed that families with pets are much happier than those without pets.

The numbers don't lie.

And just like Sun Hao's first feeling when he saw Second Uncle Huo, he is indeed a very approachable person.

Not only with him, but also with the rest of the Mavericks quickly got along.

That's obviously a good thing for the Mavericks.

The next day, the Mavericks host Houston.

The Houston team did not move at this year's trade deadline, and their overall structure is still Francis and Mobley's outside double gun, Gaolajuwon.

That's right, Olajuwon hasn't retired yet.

He is in his 17th year of career, and of course there is no comparison in terms of strength to his peak.

Especially since the 97~98 season, it seems that the big dream of never being injured has also begun to miss a lot of games, and his ability has never returned.

Last season and so far this season, he has only averaged more than 10 points per game.

In other words, Houston is no longer the interior team it used to be, with an offensive focus on the outside.

is such an opponent, and the old Nelson is relieved to boldly use his Guoben lineup.

Nash and Sun Hao on the outside, Finley and Huo Ershu on the front, plus center Nowitzki!

This lineup looks very hurtful.

But like Sun Hao said before, you don't know if anything will work until you try it.

Against the Houston team, it worked!

Nowitzki pulled Olajuwon to the three-point line on the offensive end, and Nash, Finley, and Sun Hao rushed in one by one, so they didn't have to worry about space problems at all.

Because the few people who don't break out really pull the basket into the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, there is another point, the arrival of Second Uncle Huo has made up for the weakest link on their offensive end.

Low singles.

Sun Hao suggested to Nowitzki before that he should learn Golden Rooster independence, which is not an overnight thing.

Until then, the Mavericks didn't have the ability to play singles in the low post, so you can't expect Finley to go to the low post, right?

That's not within his business capabilities!

But at this time, Second Uncle Huo is best at this.

There were a bunch of shooters who helped him open up space, and he was much happier than he was with the Wizards.

And Second Uncle Huo also has a stable mid-range scoring ability!

Whether it is Sun Hao or Nash, the blocking and dismantling is much more comfortable than the previous Lettner.

As a result, after this game, the Mavericks directly scored 6 double-doubles, and scored 110+ points!

This made old Nelson very happy.

At the beginning of the century, 110+ points were recorded, which is really not something that ordinary teams can do.

Although, they also gave the Rockets, who are not good at offense, 100 points.

Olajuwon had 26 points and 14 rebounds, both of which were season highs.

Francis also had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists.

But so what, the team with the most points wins the game.

And the fans were happy.

On the night when the Mavericks scored 100 points at home and won, they had burritos to eat!

"We found the right formula to win."

At the post-game press conference, Nelson Sr. was also in high spirits.

Although this is not the optimal solution, at least the current team lineup is already a correct answer.

The results of the game also validate Nelson Sr.'s rhetoric.

After Second Uncle Huo came to the Mavericks, the team won more and lost less.

The team has been steadily rising in the rankings, and by the beginning of April, they have overtaken the Kings and moved to third place in the West!

This wave is cool and crooked.

The only thing that is not so good may be that Uncle Huo took some shots, and the average data of the rest of the team has declined a little.

This also includes Sun Hao, whose average points per game have dropped to about 17 points.

However, the strength of the team has improved, and Sun Hao is also happy.

And in addition to his scoring drop, his shooting percentage and assists are rising.

This shows that this pullback is a completely benign phenomenon.

What's more, he won the Rookie of the Month award for February and March in a row!

It's really not that he's too super-god, it's that the opponent is too vegetable.

Oh no, the opponent has actually improved.

This past March, the Rookie of the Month was shared.

Sharing his Rookie of the Month award with him is the Nets' Kenyon Martin.

Martin averaged 17.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in March.

I don't know if this guy finished the All-Star Game rookie game, and was doubted by Cole's life, and suddenly opened up after going back.

The Mavericks' record has steadily improved, which shows that their post-All-Star trade was quite successful.

However, they were still not the most eye-catching team in the second half of the season.

Because there was a team that had a wave of 8 consecutive wins after the All-Star break!

Los Angeles Lakers!

The Lakers, unlike the Mavericks, didn't make a single trade at the trade deadline.

But there are two important changes after the All-Star break.

The Lakers welcomed the comeback of Derrick Fisher.

Fisher is a rookie who entered the league with Kobe, and he is only 1.85 meters tall, not the kind of tall point guard that Phil Jackson likes.

But his style of play is very suitable for the Lakers.

Tough defense, coupled with a steady three-point ability in open positions, can free up space for O'Neal and Bryant to play alone.

This is as crucial as the role of Steve Kerr for the Bulls back then.

And more than the contribution of statistics, Fisher's greater role comes from off the field.

If there is anyone on the Lakers who can ease the conflict between the OK combinations, it is not Phil Jackson, but Fisher.

Fisher and Kobe Bryant entered the league together, and the two sat on the bench together for a long time, and he was rarely listened to by Kobe.

He is also very good at interpersonal communication, and he has a pretty good relationship with O'Neill.

In one sentence, Kobe Bryant trusts him and O'Neal likes him.

"The cat is back."

A quote from Lakers backup power forward Robert Horry sums it up better.

With Fisher to mediate the relationship, and the dominant players on the field, the tension between the OK duo has finally eased.

Of course, this is not the most important change.

You may not believe it, but another important change in the Lakers is that Kobe Bryant has changed!

After the All-Star break, he significantly reduced his desire to attack and passed more to his teammates, including O'Neal!

No one knows why all this is happening.

Perhaps it was Fisher who showed his magical charm;

Or maybe Kobe Bryant saw changes in the team during his injury absence;

The latter is significantly more likely.

After all, the Lakers played the Mavericks before the All-Star break, and the Lakers played the Mavericks before, and the results of the two games were completely different.

The authorities are obsessed with onlookers, and Kobe Bryant is sitting on the bench in a suit, which is more thorough than he can see on the court.

And when he was on the All-Star game, Sun Hao also felt this change in Kobe Bryant at that time.

This change for the Lakers is good for fans in Los Angeles, but not for other teams.

Like other media before, it was all kinds of ridicule.

The Lakers chose Kobe to be Pippen, but Kobe wanted to be Jordan or something.

It's all about wishing that the defending champion of the Lakers would collapse from within.

But now, the Lakers have regained the momentum of that championship team.

They are still the target of other teams.

Even Nowitzki couldn't help but sigh.

It was Sun Hao who opened the eyes of heaven.

Although it was not known how the Lakers recovered from internal conflicts.

Now that he has experienced it, he understands it all.

It's April, and there's just over half a month left before the end of the season.

The Mavericks' next game against the Suns is the Suns.

Although they surpassed the Kings in terms of record, the two teams won by a lot, and every game remaining in the season was crucial.

However, just before this game, Sun Hao received a message.

Wang Zhizhi, after helping the Bayi team win the CBA championship, was finally released over there, and he came to Dallas!

When Little Nelson told Sun Hao the news, Sun Hao took a car with him to the airport.

The Chinese have the hospitality of the friendship of landlords.

Sun Hao has been playing for the Mavericks for almost a season and is also a landlord.

Don't even think that if Wang Zhizhi or other Chinese players were to come out to greet him for the first time.

At the airport, Sun Hao saw Wang Zhizhi again.

Compared with when he was in Long Beach before, Wang Zhizhi obviously likes to laugh more.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions!

From the selection in 1999 to the present, two years have passed before I know it.

The former boy who chased the wind is finally about to set foot on the NBA arena of his dreams.

And compared with two years ago, the Mavericks have one more Chinese, and it is difficult for him to be unhappy.

However, what Sun Hao didn't expect was that Wang Zhizhi was not the only one who came.

Behind Wang Zhizhi, there is a person who is a head taller than him! Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
