Before the training camp started, Sun Hao went to buy himself a car.

The car is not expensive, tens of thousands of dollars, and it is a means of transportation.

After two months in Dallas, he already knew how much a car could help him.

At the very least, it can make him see less uncomfortable eyes.

He drove to the door.

The doorman still can't avoid some inspection.

He felt that he should buy this guy a titanium dog's eye.

But just then, his phone vibrate.

It was a message from Su Qun.

When Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian started special training, Su Qun had already returned to China first.

After all, he has been in the United States for half a month since he came out this time.

A big news.

Because the results of the Sydney Olympics were not as expected, the original director Nobu-sama was transferred.

The sub-word in front of Li Yuanwei was removed, and it was directly turned positive.

It's not big, because it seems to make sense.

The 96-year-old lineup can reach the top 8, but in 2000, Yao Ming's results were even worse, how can this work.

You propose a group with me? I don't care about you.

It's not small, because Li Yuanwei is basically a united front with Sun Hao now.

This makes it more convenient for Sun Hao to do things.

In a good mood, Sun Hao didn't bother to bother with the doorman.

When he got to the parking lot, he parked his car and walked in the direction of the elevator.

When he got to the elevator, he stood and waited for a while, and someone came in again.

"Sun!"

As soon as the people who came in saw him, they opened their hands and were full of enthusiasm.

It's Nelson Jr......

The last time he signed a contract, Sun Hao was surprised by Nelson's enthusiasm Jr., and now he is coming again.

He reached out and hugged little Nelson, who patted him on the shoulder like an old friend he hadn't seen in decades.

He was joined by Harris.

But compared to the enthusiastic little Nelson, Harris, the old man, just smiled at him.

Sure enough, the abnormal person was little Nelson.

And little Nelson was not idle, and soon chatted with him.

For example, how did you find a rented house, whether there would be anything inapplicable in Dallas, whether you need him to help introduce a translator, etc.

That feeling reminded him of someone.

Mom.

This guy won't take a fancy to himself, what do you want him to be his son-in-law?!

It's not impossible.

Little Nelson looks like he is about 40 years old, many Americans have children out of wedlock, and it is normal for his daughter to be about the same age as him.

He unconsciously remembered the experience of being forced by his mother to go on a blind date with Lasso's daughter, what is his name?

Oh, Benita, he almost forgot, that good girl.

This is because he thinks that he has too little womanly popularity, so he took the initiative to send it to him?

When he entered the elevator, Nelson's cell phone rang, and his concern finally ended.

Waiting for the elevator, little Nelson seemed to have something to go.

But even so, he didn't forget to cover the microphone of his mobile phone and said a word to Sun Hao.

"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me."

After saying that, he took his phone and walked away quickly.

"Coach, Mr. Nelson Jr. has a daughter?"

He still couldn't help but turn his head and ask Harris.

"Yes."

Harris nodded.

"Christie is an angel, it's just that God made a mistake."

Harris's words were in a daze when Sun Hao heard them.

"We can send her some doll toys another day."

But Harris's next words made him stunned.

Toy......

Little Nelson's daughter is still a child!

It seems that Nelson Jr. is not taking a fancy to him anymore.

However, this made Sun Hao more curious, because little Nelson seemed to be more enthusiastic about him than old Nelson, and it could even be said that he was much more enthusiastic.

Harris and Sun Hao entered the locker room together.

Most of the players are already there.

Nowitzki, who was rubbing his feet there, looked very focused.

Michael Finley is wearing white headphones and holding a Walkman to listen to music.

Bradley, the "big bamboo pole" with his head down and looking for clothes in the closet.

He was putting his head down to tie his shoes, as if he noticed Nahura coming in and looking up.

And Nash, who was bouncing the ball in his sneakers in the middle of the locker room, looked like he was warming up in this unique way.

Then there are the rookies in the same class, Alexander and Harvey, who are sitting together and chatting.

He arrived a little late in the dressing room because he was blocked by the goalkeeper for a while, and most of the players had already arrived.

Speaking of which, thanks to Wang Zhizhi playing in the Mavericks back then, most of his 14 teammates are familiar.

"That's your closet, the jersey is in it, and the name plate on it hasn't had time to be changed, and it will be changed when you turn around."

When Harris and Sun Hao came in, they attracted the attention of some of their teammates.

Most of them have a gentle gaze.

Nash stopped bouncing the ball and called out to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki raised his head at this time, saw that it was Sun Hao, and stretched out his hand to him with a smile.

Hey, you just rubbed your feet!

Sun Hao didn't shake hands with Nowitzki, but went up directly and hugged him.

"My little brother!"

Nowitzki didn't expect Sun Hao to be so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but speak.

After Harris told Nowitzki and Sun Hao about the precautions in the locker room, he left first.

On the first day of the camp, there will be a formal training schedule, and he still has to prepare.

"Hey, guys!"

When Harris was gone, Nowitzki tore his throat open.

"This is my little brother from Europe, don't bully him."

Nowitzki announced directly in the locker room that he was covering Sun Hao.

Sun Hao's heart was warm.

Nowitzki is only a third-grader, but the team is already in high status.

It's really rare to say that in public.

There was a burst of laughter in the dressing room.

Sun Hao could feel that the Mavericks were really peaceful.

That's a reasonable thing to say.

Nowitzki and Nash have already been in contact with each other, and both have too good tempers to be true.

Plus Finley, who looks very gentle.

The three bigwigs of the team are like this, aside from the field, it is really difficult to think about disharmony in this situation.

Sun Hao walked to his closet.

It was then that he saw the name plate on the wardrobe that Harris was talking about.

Strickland.

That's one of the players used in the draft to trade him.

He really has a feeling of replacing him.

When I opened the wardrobe, there were already several jerseys hanging inside, both training and jerseys.

He took out one and looked, the striking number 95.

When I first chose it, I thought it was unique, but now that I look at it, it's really eye-catching.

"By the way, what about Tony? Hasn't he come yet? ”

After putting on the training clothes, Sun Hao asked.

Kukoc was traded to the Mavericks with him.

And he glanced at it just now, the wardrobe next to Nowitzki was his, and there was an idle wardrobe next to him, which should have been Kukoc's.

"He came early, he was already warming up inside, and I'm ready to go."

Nowitzki gestured around the corner as he spoke.

Only then did Sun Hao notice that there was a door over there.

He got up and walked over directly, and after pushing the door in, he found that it was the training hall inside.

Kukoc was there doing shooting drills.

He's working on threes there.

As a space power forward, Kukoc's three-point shooting percentage so far in his career is actually not too high.

Except for the 95~96 season, which exceeded 40%, it was only a little more than 30% at other times, and it was below 30% for two consecutive seasons in the past.

However, judging from the accuracy of his practice at this time, he is very accurate and has a good sense of rhythm.

Kukoc is a player who has proven himself with the Bulls, and it's certainly unrealistic to say he's a drill-type player.

The only thing that is understandable is that he should have practiced his three-point shooting this summer.

This is not surprising.

Nelson Sr.'s run-and-shoot tactics are well-known in the league, and the run-and-shoot three-pointer is very crucial.

Imagine some offensive rounds where the Mavericks put on an interior combination of Kukoc and Nowitzki, with him and Nash on the outside.

With that sense of space, Finley is afraid that he can directly stage a toothpick to stir the water tank, as if entering a no-man's land, killing him seven in and seven out.

"Sun."

Kukochi saw Sun Hao after a group of practice, stopped for a while, and came over to greet him with a smile.

"You're late."

"No, it's just right, we're three points?"

The two had already met in Chicago, and they had been traded together, and although they had not spoken for a long time, they were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

Kukocchi nodded.

"Tony, Sun, the coach is here."

Unfortunately, before their competition began, Nowitzki's shouts came from the door.

The two of them could only put down the basketball first, and then walked briskly back to the locker room together.

Old Nelson has a big belly and is not angry.

If the Mavericks are described as a pack of tame sheep, Nelson Sr. is a wolf.

And as soon as he entered, he bared his sharp fangs.

"There has been a lot of change in the squad this season and I need to tell the newcomer, whatever you used to do, here, what I say is an order, I don't need to question, I just need to obey."

After saying the first sentence, he then turned his gaze back to Alexander and Harvey.

"If anyone doesn't listen to the tactical plan, the bench is where he belongs."

The directiveness of his words is also quite obvious.

When the Chinese men's basketball team was played in the summer league, Alexander and Harvey played a mess for performance, and Nelson Sr. was present at the time.

Old Nelson's words made the originally peaceful locker room suddenly smell nervous.

"Let's train!"

The players changed their clothes and entered the training hall along the door just now.

Harris quickly led his players to warm-up sessions, followed by three-on-three, and finally a full-court five-on-five.

Five-on-five, 15 people were divided into three groups, namely the starting group, the bench group and the bench group.

On the starting group, Nash, Howard Easley, Finley, Nowitzki, Kristen Leitner.

That's basically the team's starting lineup for the new season.

Kukoc was placed on the bench and Sun Hao was placed on the bench.

Two groups play each other, and one group watches.

At the end of the bench group, Sun Hao also watched the game between the starting group and the substitute group.

There was only one 12-minute quarter.

It was also in this process that there were two people who impressed him.

One is the starting center Leitner, a player with organization, rebounding, and range, and a very mature style of play.

It's just that Sun Hao is too young, if he knows a little more, he will find that this person is a 92-year-old Tanhua show, and the Timberwolves and Hawks are both the core of the inner line.

The other is his summer league teammate Alexander.

I don't know if it was stimulated by the words in the old Nelson locker room, he played very aggressively.

Even after a dunk, he trash talked at Easley opposite.

It felt like a wolf cub in a flock.

20 to 12.

Alexander and Kukoc both played well in the bench, but the starting group won in the end.

After one round, there is a five-minute break, followed by the bench and bench groups.

On the bench side, Sun Hao and Harvey are two rookies, and the rest of Nahoola, Greg Buckner, and Mark Bryant are also base-salary players.

On the bench side, in addition to Alexander and Kukoc, there are Hubert Davis, Gary Trent, and "Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley.

These are basically players who have proven themselves in the league.

The comparison of the strength of the two sides is greater than that between the substitute group and the starting group.

The substitute group attacked first, Alexander received a second pass from Davis, rushed into the inside line and rose into the air, directly blowing up the frame with both hands.

There was a whistling sound from the sidelines.

Alexander swung around the basket before landing.

And after landing, he walked directly to Sun Hao.

"Don't think you've won anything in Summer League, and don't think Dirk can cover you, it's the NBA, no one can protect you!"

Sun Hao received his first trash talk after coming to Dallas.

Little by little, the peaceful atmosphere in the locker room collapsed.

From Nelson Sr. to Alexander, everything around him now reminds him that he's not in a sheepfold, but in the brutally competitive NBA.
