Then, when he arrived in Dallas to start the team's training camp, Sun Hao also met ...... Buckley!

Lord Bar said at the World Championships that he was coming to the Mavericks, and he really came in the end!

And he's already playing hot in the locker room with others.

If you want to talk about strength, Barkley may not have much gas left in the tank at this age, but his fame and influence are still there!

Don't forget his strength and status in the NBA because of his funny talent in the commentary seat.

NBA50 Great, the top three forwards in history, the 76ers and Suns have retired the No. 34 jersey, averaging 22.1 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in a 16-year career, 5 times NBA First Team of the Year, 2-time Olympic champion, 1991 All-Star Game MVP, 1993 regular season MVP.

However, unlike the big mouth of the commentary seat, he looks "elegant and easy-going" off the field.

Well, when you're with your teammates.

"If that guy Bruce dares to put your feet on the ground again, I promise he'll him Mommy."

When chatting with Sun Hao, Barkley grinned and waved his fists, and soon revealed his true colors.

Sun Hao listened to this kind of words, and he felt very secure.

You must know that this is what Barkley said, and it is not an ordinary mouth cannon.

Flipping through Lord Ba's career, slapping Oakley, slapping Bill's face, and knocking down O'Neal, the standard villain on the court.

Nike once filmed an advertisement for him, in which he took the ball against Godzilla, which is quite appropriate for his image on the court.

Zhu Fangyu's Taizu long fist is estimated to be just a big knife in front of Guan Gong in front of Barkley.

Of course, Barkley is not the same as Ranbir's kind of active villain, he doesn't take the initiative to provoke trouble, but he is never afraid of any kind of trouble.

If Barkley is compared to a bodyguard, he is definitely the most secure type.

And don't say it, after Barkley said this, Sun Hao really hoped that Bowen would try to give him another step up when he played against the Spurs.

Because he was really curious if Bowen would be beaten and retired......

"Sun, we're teammates."

After greeting Barkley, Sun Hao then hugged an old guy and an old acquaintance.

In addition to Bodiloga and Barkley in the offseason, the Mavericks also signed veteran Dele Curry.

Curry Sr. turned 38 after playing last season, and although he still averaged 6.4 points per game, he was already inclined to end his career when his contract expired.

And the reason why he will play another year and come to Dallas.

There is only one reason, his precious eldest son.

The Curry brothers trained with Sun Hao last summer.

Sun Hao's sentence "The pain of losing is far more painful than the pain of training" was said to Seth Curry.

But in the end, Seth fell on his ears and it was Curry who listened.

So in the end, under Curry's strong request of "if you don't go to Dallas, I'll go by myself", this NBA model father who "spoils his son" decided to temporarily put away his retirement heart.

Naturally, the Mavericks' side is also very welcoming.

Curry has not met Sun Hao in history, and his three-point shot is basically influenced by his dad and Nash after retirement in the future.

Among them, the father's role occupies the lion's share.

In other words, Curry's understanding of the three-point shot is at the highest level.

This is also the reason why he let his two sons run to practice three points with Sun Hao.

There are so many players in the NBA who are powerful in three-point shooting, but Sun Hao, who is the youngest, thinks it is the most suitable for his son.

If you don't go to that level, you can't see that.

That's the old Curry, not to mention how much he can help the Mavericks on the court in the new season.

His three-point experience is also a great help to the Mavericks, who are ranked No. 1 in the NBA in three-point shooting.

And in addition to satisfying his son's ability to watch his uncle Sun Hao play on the sidelines every day, Old Curry himself also has some ideas.

In his 16-year career, he has yet to taste a championship.

The Mavericks made it to the Western Conference finals last season and have been strengthened for the new season, and with a bit of luck, he could get a championship ring before retiring.

In addition to the above, the Mavericks also signed back Adrian Griffin.

Griffin was just sent in by the Mavericks for air last season and then signed back when his contract expired for the new season.

In fact, before the "Gary Payton Clause" was introduced by the League, such commotion was very common.

Even if you go to a new team and off, you can immediately go back and sign with your parent team.

At this point, the Mavericks' roster for the new season is hotly released.

Point guards: Sun Hao, Van Exel, Easley;

Quarterbacks: Bell, Adrian Griffin, Dale Curry;

Junior Front: Finley, Bodi Loga, Nahoola;

Ombudsman: Nowitzki, Lafrentz, Barkley;

Centre-forwards: Dampier, Sabonis, Collins;

All the staff arrived, and the curtain of the training camp opened.

Before practice begins, NBA teams typically do a body flank.

The main purpose of height and weight is to look at the body fat content.

There are a lot of NBA players who get lucky in the offseason, and there are not a few who get lucky in the offseason and come back from training in a short period of time.

There are even some players who use the team's training camp directly as a weight loss period.

The most well-known is Carmelo Anthony, who turns into a little melon every offseason, and then turns back into that little melon when the season starts.

The self-discipline of the Mavericks players is very good, and their body fat is all qualified.

The train runs fast because of the headband.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki, the two core teams of self-discipline, the Mavericks' atmosphere is naturally better.

But it was in this process that Nelson Sr. received a big surprise.

Sun Hao's height has grown to 1.95 meters!

This is incredible, at the beginning of last season, Sun Hao was only 1.90 meters!

In other words, in the past year, Sun Hao's height has grown by another 5 cm!

1.95 meters, put on shoes, it's enough to play a point guard!

The height of the top two-way guard in the true sense of the word!

Sun Hao was busy training before, and he didn't pay attention to this himself.

But when the measurements came out, he was also excited.

Because according to the system, he grew to 1.95 meters in ten years, activated the system in 1995, and ten years later in 2005.

But now it's only 2002.

But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this, and the system doesn't say it must be 2005!

And from a physiological point of view, he is already 20 years old, and it will be a bit contrary to the laws of nature if he grows up in the future.

After all, there are a few like Brother Alphabet.

He said that it was no wonder that he felt a lot more relaxed against Bale in Germany.

He also thought that Bale's defense was making slow progress, but now it seems that his own strength has improved and he has grown taller and taller, and he has more advantages in the position.

After the lateral test, the formal training begins.

The Mavericks' first day of training consisted of basic drills, plus one-on-one matchups.

The most eye-catching performer on this day was neither Sun Hao nor Nowitzki, nor even Bodi Loga.

Rather, Dampier!

He had the upper hand against Lafrenz and Corinth.

Dampier has been ridiculed by fans infinitely because of the sentence "I am the second center in the West" in his history.

In addition, he was often educated when he fought against Yao Ming in history, so the impact on people is that this is a rookie who does not live up to his name and loves to brag.

However, in fact, Howard is a younger brother in front of Yao Ming, not to mention Dampier, who is at least two gears weaker in offensive ability?

In the season when he said that, Dampier was at the peak of his career, averaging 12+2+2 data per game, and he was also a top center in addition to O'Neal and Yao Ming.

The second place in the West may be blowing, but the third center is basically solid.

And Dampier doesn't rely on offense to eat.

He's good at defense, and he's the rarest top meat shield of this era.

And not only is he meaty, but he also has good flexibility, which is the biggest difference between him and Battle.

This is especially evident when playing against Sabonis.

Under the basket, Sabonis, who was still dominant against Duncan last season, did not take much advantage of Dampier.

Old Nelson Surprise x2!

Dampier was traded against O'Neal, and judging by his performances on the training ground, he has what it takes to do that.

Then on the second day of training camp, Bale also began to show his improvement on the defensive end, and he blocked Van Exel for several games in a row!

When it comes to heads-up, Van Exel is definitely one of the strongest in the Mavericks!

The Mavericks' perimeter defense has always had problems, and the only thing Nelson Sr. can rely on is Finley, who is average in the league.

Even like many key moments last season, he had to use Sun Hao to defend Kobe.

As for Bell, he also belongs to the short man who pulls the general.

But now, with Bale's progress, he really has the potential to become a defensive general!

Old Nelson Surprise x3!

On the third day, the team began to practice for half-court confrontations, and Sun Hao and Nowitzki's blocking and pick-and-roll began to appear.

The two showed off the results of their training in Germany.

Old Nelson Surprise x4!

Then on the fourth day, when the team began to play against each other in groups, Bodi Loga showed his excellent individual ability.

Even with a show, you can play with ease.

Old Nelson Surprise x5!

Surprise five in a row!

Wait, wait, let the old man slow down, this heart is a little unbearable.

The Mavericks' progress has been achieved in private training, and the surprises have come one after another.

After practicing for a few more days, after seeing the tacit understanding between Sun Hao, Bell, Nowitzki and Bodi Loga, the old Nelson was already smiling from ear to ear.

If last season's Mavericks are compared to battleships, the new season's Mavericks will be aircraft carriers!

Not to mention Popovich's nemesis, he is now confident in defeating the Lakers, who have just established a dynasty!

No, it could even be said that for the first time in so many years, he felt that the championship was so close to him.

In fact, if it were replaced by Sun Hao, I couldn't help but think: Lao Tzu has never fought such a rich battle in his life!

Fast forward to early October, and the NBA preseason kicked off.

The Mavericks played very easily, with a big win over Houston at the beginning and a big win over the Nuggets at the end, directly winning seven in a row.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki don't talk about it, the new signings Bodi Loga, Barkley, and Curry all have brilliant performances.

This performance has also raised the expectations of fans and media for the Mavericks' new season.

Before the start of the season, ESPN made a wave of predictions and rankings of the strength of the teams, as is customary.

In this list, the Mavericks beat the Spurs and other teams, and followed the Lakers in second place

ESPN's Comments: Dampier's addition makes up for their biggest weakness on the inside, Bodiloga's presence gives them more options in crunch time, and in the limited time of preseason, we can see a better fit between Son and Nowitzki, who will be the most powerful challengers to the Lakers dynasty in the new season.

ESPN's prediction list is interesting, and of course it's not just the Mavericks who are getting attention......

In the West, the Dynasty Lakers, who have the strength to impact the four consecutive championships after Russell in ancient times, the Spurs who are making a comeback and are determined to take revenge, the Kings who signed back Bibby to maintain the lineup, and the Warriors who got Nash to copy the second place of the Mavericks;

In the East, the Wizards who changed to Jeff Van Gundy as head coach and Michael recovered from the injured Jordan, the Celtics who have a better run-in Big Three, the Kidd Nets who have changed their rhetoric to make the team achieve a 720-degree turnaround, the Pistons who signed Billups, and the Pacers who have quietly completed the replacement of the old and the new......

Before the curtain of the new season opened, it was already a distant wave of turbulence.

And by the end of October, when the curtain officially opened, it had become magnificent.

On the first day of the game, the Mavericks didn't play, but on this day, fans have already felt the difference this season.

Stockton, a superstar of the Jazz, bluntly said in a pre-game interview that the new season will be his last season in the NBA!

The NBA assist leader for 9 consecutive years, NBA all-time assist leader, 10 All-Star, 2 steals king, 5 first-team, 6-time second-team, 3-time 3-true, 5-time NBA All-Defensive Second Team, 2-time Olympic gold medalist, and one of the living fossils of the NBA, will usher in his final retirement season.

In the reluctant eyes of the fans, Stockton handed out 15 assists in the opening game!

Then, there's Maddie's White Horse Lance!

Maddie has been with the Magic for two years, and Hill has been reimbursed for the season without playing a few games, and this season is more direct, and the season has not started before it has even started!

Maddie knew he couldn't count on Hill, and he went straight to the start of the season with all his firepower.

In the opening game against the Bulls, Jordan's former club, he directly exploded with 43 points!

And then, there's Kobe.

The Lakers won a championship ring at home, the third ring that represented their dynasty.

But in the opening game, perhaps still immersed in the offseason, except for Kobe and O'Neal, everyone else was in no shape, and they trailed the Kings by 27 points in three quarters!

With the prospect of a heavy defeat at home, and the controversy surrounding the Kings' elimination last season, the reaction of the media and fans after the game is understandable.

In this context, Kobe Bryant pressed the switch of his Peter Pan, scored 20 points in the final quarter, and at the last moment turned around and threw a lore in the three-man package!

In the whole game, he scored 45 points! 2 points more than Maddie!

Is the new season just starting?

No, the new season has already begun!
