It was against this background that the Kuban stepped forward.

In the latest episode of the talk show, he directly scolded Barkley.

"So you won the championship with defense? So you have a championship? ”

Cuban is also a wolf, and he hits Barkley the most sore place in his heart when he opens his mouth.

"Before Jordan entered the league, no one would think he was a basketball god."

"Before Phil Jackson succeeded, no one knew that the triangle offense, a tactic that no one could understand, was so powerful."

"All things, until it's over, to say that it's never possible are bullshit, hooligans."

"I wouldn't say we're going to be the first team to win a championship with a shot, but I trust my players and they're going to get it done."

……

Cuban showed his temperament to the fullest in the show.

It doesn't look like a billionaire at all, it's just a die-hard fan.

And when it comes to Barkley's attack on Nowitzki, Cuban is even more indignant.

"Barkley, you never know how great Dirk is, he's going to win championships you can't get, he's going to be the greatest big man, he's going to be the biggest big man in history, and you're going to have to hide behind the comment booth and grandstand!"

Cuban is true love for Nowitzki, even if it was less than a year when he bought the team, but it was like "love at first sight" with Nowitzki.

And he was ruthless in bringing up Barkley.

"Now you say that Sun is throwing a few handfuls blindly, he hit well in front, why didn't you say it when he hit you in the face like crazy? Have you forgotten that he just won Rookie of the Month? He was the best rookie in the Class of 2000, and he was actually only a 24th pick. ”

Cuban really doesn't have anything to say about the players, and the key is that he is really not afraid of things.

And the interesting thing is that Barkley didn't come back to Kuban either.

Obviously, when he can say things like "how can you not be handsome when you have a worth of three or four billion", it is impossible for him to fight with a billionaire like Cuban.

Cuban earned a lot of face for the Mavericks on the show, but the Mavericks were still in an awkward situation.

In a few days it's the Christmas War, and they won't be in it.

But as soon as Christmas is over, they will have games against the Suns, Jazz and Timberwolves.

All three teams are fierce rivals, and one is back-to-back.

Coupled with the team's poor record in the past week, this period of the schedule is really difficult.

The only good news is that they finally have a Christmas to use to take a breather.

Christmas is approaching, and Sun Hao has a trouble.

It's not that the team's record is not good, or that their performance has dropped.

He is well aware of the strength of the Mavericks right now, and he also knows that the schedule is not good for the team.

Even if it is his own performance, he is mentally prepared and believes that the situation will improve in the near future, after all, he has experienced this many times in Europe.

Experience, not just on the pitch.

It was Nash who really annoyed him.

Nash, his favorability is declining!

Originally, they had a good feeling of about 65 between them, but after playing the Lakers, they started to fall all the way, and now it has dropped to 58.

This change made Sun Hao a little unincomprehensible.

Ruling out the possibility that Nash is a secret cannon, there must be something wrong with the communication between them.

That's not a good thing for him or the Mavericks.

He tried to talk to Nash, but it turned out to be ...... Nash declined.

He thought of a trick to pull Nowitzki and they had a barbecue.

As a result, Nash even found an excuse not to come!

"Dirk, have I done anything lately to get Steve to have an opinion?"

The barbecue in his hand suddenly became unfragrant, and Sun Hao was also helpless.

Nowitzki shook his head, he was also strange.

Although Nash usually likes to be jealous, he is by no means a cautious person.

Besides, the team's record is not good, so it has nothing to do with Sun Hao!

Even if you blame him, you can't blame Sun Hao's head, Sun Hao is just a rookie!

"You and he have a crush on a girl at the same time?"

Nowitzki's words with a smile were immediately met with Sun Hao's eyes.

"I'll talk to him later."

Nowitzki put away his smile, swallowed the pork belly in his mouth, took a sip of beer and said.

After eating Sun Hao's things, he has to work.

Two days later, the day before Christmas, Nowitzki and Nash finished talking.

But alas, he didn't talk about anything.

Nash doesn't seem to be hostile to Sun Hao, and even treats Sun Hao as a friend.

It's really confusing.

The next day, Cuban invited the Mavericks to the biggest restaurant in Dallas, as agreed.

What Australian lobster, Aymath caviar, kraft and beef eye steak......

If you think of it, it's all on the table.

He even made a piece of Dominic Crolla 007 Royal Pizza!

What's worth taking out a piece of pizza on its own?

Take a look at the toppings of this pizza!

Lobster soaked in cognac, caviar soaked in champagne, tomato sauce, Scottish smoked salmon, prosciutto, venison and vintage balsamic vinegar......

These things sound like the sound of a money printing machine counting money.

On top of that, of course, the pizza is topped with 24-carat gold flakes.

It's not pizza, it's money.

Cuban's kindness to the players is really reflected in every detail.

This also made the team members look forward to the next gifts.

Just the food is so pompous, what will be the gift?

You have to know Cuban's words, but the person who said that he would buy Boeing planes for the team!

At this point, Sun Hao was also full of curiosity.

"I was going to have a gift, but yesterday I suddenly changed my mind and I prepared another gift."

And when everyone was about to finish eating, Kuban's words whetted their appetite even more.

Then he clapped his hands, and a team member came in with a thick stack of papers.

Everyone has a question mark face, because this temporary gift is really strange.

It was a booklet, and the staff handed it out to everyone according to the serial number.

Sun Hao also got a copy, and he glanced at it, it was a coach profile named Deng Huade.

After flipping through a few pages, he realized that this was a coach who was good at defensive drills.

It was also while everyone was looking at it that Cuban said his gift.

"What you have in your hands is an assistant coach who is good at training in different aspects, this is your gift, one for each person, if you are still on the Mavericks, he is your exclusive assistant coach."

After Cuban finished speaking, the team members were stunned.

This gift is really unexpected.

And this practice is unprecedented!

The assistant coaches of other teams are arranged by the coaching staff, and Cuban is good, and they are directly assigned according to the head!

Sun Hao couldn't cry or laugh after listening to it.

It's like a student picking up money on the side of the road and giving it to the police uncle, only to be rewarded with a whole set of exercise books!

But it's a gift that's worth a lot.

The cost of manpower is significantly more expensive than the physical one.

And Cuban himself just said that as long as the player is on the Mavericks, the assistant coach will be there.

It's a long-term expense.

And it is also a bit of a Taoist feeling that "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish".

Even what Cuban said was a temporary gift, but everyone's coach is different, and this is definitely false to say that he didn't bother to do so.

"Oh yes, I'll still give you that original gift, but after this summer, you'll know when the time comes."

In the end, the Kuban sold another pass.

This is to re-arouse the appetite of the players.

This also includes Sun Hao, thinking about the broadcast plane I mentioned before, or something else.

Human curiosity can never be satisfied.

After Cuban finished delivering the gifts, the team members all started chatting with each other, exchanging Christmas wishes, and even began to interact with some gifts.

Sun Hao also prepared some for his teammates.

However, the first time he gave a Christmas present, he only gave some simple play.

And he's just a rookie now, and it's not good to dominate.

"Sun, what do you mean by giving me a box of BYT? I...... Thank you. ”

Nowitzki was embarrassed to say he didn't need it at all.

"I love this notepad, I think I can put some stories on it."

Essley was grateful, he felt that Sun Hao still understood him very well.

"It's a pity that the tablet hasn't come out yet, otherwise that one would be more convenient."

"What is a tablet?"

"I'll send you later."

Sun Hao said that he had leaked his mouth without paying attention.

Nash's hair dryer, Finley's golf club, Harvey's new version of Adi shoes...... Of course, in addition to BYT, Sun Hao also gave Nowitzki some books.

From the season to the present, he has discovered that Nowitzki also likes to read as much as Gasol.

Although the gift is simple, Sun Hao also spent a lot of thought and gave it according to the other party's preferences.

Don't ask why you are so concerned, asking is [Stadium Bond].

The teammates also liked it all, and they suddenly felt that they liked Sun Hao not only on the court, but also off the court.

After the gift was delivered, Sun Hao and Harris sat and chatted on the balcony outside the hotel.

Harris also received a gift from Sun Hao, a VIP membership card from the winery.

"Del, I have a question for you."

After Sun Hao saw that Harris and his favorability had risen to 83, he was finally ready to speak.

Harris looked at him curiously.

The two of them are still familiar with each other since the summer league, and they usually communicate a lot.

Sun Hao rarely used such a formal word.

"There seems to be something wrong with me and Steve, but the problem is that I don't think there's anything wrong with us."

The reason why Sun Hao asked Harris was because he could feel from his previous contact that the latter was a careful and experienced person.

"I've tried to talk to Steve a few times and I've been politely declined, including when we had dinner together, but he didn't come when I looked for him again."

Afraid that Harris didn't understand what he meant, Sun Hao added.

Harris pondered for a moment.

"If there hasn't been any conflict or misunderstanding between you, I think it's probably a matter of team competition."

Harris continued.

"Team competition?"

Sun Hao did think about this possibility, but the problem is that that thing was before, and now that he and Nash are both playing starters together, there is no such thing as starting point guard competition.

"You know Steve is 26 and you're only 18, but now, especially since you started playing with the Lakers, your tactical position on the team has improved very quickly."

Harris also seemed to have guessed what Sun Hao was thinking, and then said what he didn't expect.

Sun Hao was thoughtful.

Tactical position, he just thought about whether to start together, but ignored this thing.

The 24-year-old Nash didn't want to play as a substitute for Kidd at the beginning, so how could the 26-year-old Nash be willing to be his deputy?

You can't think of everyone too badly, but you can't think of everyone too well.

Unlike Nowitzki, Nash is a player who plays in the same position as him after all.

And Nash, who is about the same age as Easley, has completely different ambitions.

This may also be the reason why Nash has been reluctant to communicate with Sun Hao in private.

Because this thing can't communicate anything, it doesn't even matter who the other party is.

"What do you think I should do?"

Sun Hao looked at Harris in a consultative tone.

"I don't know."

Harris didn't give advice.

Because he has seen many such questions, but there will be no answers.

Just like Kidd and Nash, the end result is only to go their separate ways.

At the end of Christmas, Fu Paul brought good news to Sun Hao.

Coke's endorsement contract, he almost agreed.

The offer given by Coca-Cola has already mentioned 4 million for 4 years, which has caught up with his sneaker contract.

According to the market price, this is already the endorsement fee level of some superstars.

Although there is a reason to consider the Chinese market behind Sun Hao, the sincerity and respect in this have been sufficient.

Sun Hao agreed.

On the one hand, it is indeed as Fu Paul said, and the price is in place.

On the other hand, he invested a lot of the previous money in Google, and Gu Yi's company also needs some money to operate after the company is registered, so it's time to get a sum of income first.

And he also has to buy his own car, buy one for his parents, and Yi Jianlian, Pickle Niu must also use a car, and it is okay to give him one.

Buying him a couple of Mercedes Benzes at once sounds like a good thing.

But these will have to wait until after the official signing and him.

And there will be more than one contract to be signed at that time, and Gu Yi will also operate for him.

After playing in the NBA for a month, although he didn't bother to make money, he was already starting to get rich.

Spending money is always a happy thing, but Nash's thing still bothers him.

He is well aware that for the Mavericks to play well, this problem must be solved.

If it can't be solved, then he or Nash would be better off walking.

Of course, that result is not what Sun Hao wants to see, after all, putting aside the relationship of competition, he and Nash's temper is still quite right.

After thinking about it again, the day before the game with the Trail Blazers began, Sun Hao dragged Nash directly to the corner after the training session and looked at him with a smile.

"Steve, I have a 100 million project to talk to you about."
