The home team's press conference ended, and then it was the visitors' turn.

None of the reporters in the audience left.

The Mavericks are the star of the night.

Nelson Sr. attended with Sun Hao and Nash.

'I can't put into words how he played, but he did everything he could.

Old Nelson was full of praise for Sun Hao.

"Sun shouted that slogan to all of us before the game, and he led us to do it for Dirk, so it was a very meaningful game."

Although Nash was not as direct as Nelson Sr., what he said made Sun Hao's image even taller.

After the two, Sun Hao became the focus of reporters' questions.

Counting the two in the first half, he made a total of 11 three-pointers tonight, slashing 38 points, breaking the NBA playoffs half-game three-point shooting record, and also setting his own playoff single-game scoring record.

In Nowitzki's absence, his performance was a game-turner.

He answered the mood after breaking the record, the trash talk with Potter in the last moments, the mood after the win, and for Dirk, etc.

The trash talk with Porter caused a burst of amazement from the reporters in the audience.

It's a big one.

When asked how he felt the most after winning, Sun Hao used a very intriguing and reverie-inducing sentence.

"What does not defeat you will make you strong."

What can't defeat you will make you strong!

This sentence is sonorous and powerful.

Its origin is from the German philosopher, linguist, cultural critic, poet, composer, and thinker Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

Nietzsche's exact words were: What doesn't destroy you makes you stronger.

The sentences are different, but the meanings are similar.

And it is also in line with Sun Hao's mood at this moment.

Playing against the Spurs, the Mavericks were always the underdogs, from start to finish.

But they won the first game and didn't give up after 3-1, even in Nowitzki's absence due to injury!

In the end, they won a game that was seen as almost impossible to win.

Whether it's Nelson Sr. or the fans, you can feel that they are getting stronger.

This sentence also became the headline of the media report after the game, and it also attracted a lot of heated discussions among fans in the forum.

"Although Sun is already the best rookie, I still want to say that he is famous tonight!"

"The only card in the class of 2000, with the rookie of the same year, he is really blind."

"The Sun of Dallas!"

"The key is that he threw in 11 three-pointers, nine in the second half, and a three-pointer for killing!"

"He's taken the three-point shot to a new level that many of the top three-point shooters haven't done in the past!"

"The key is the temperament of the game! What can't defeat you will make you strong! Loved, loved! ”

"I'm also a fan of this Mavericks, maybe they aren't strong enough to compete for a championship, but their game temperament is really good!"

"I'm also a fan, this game really turned my perception of them, Iron Blood and Soft Eggs shouldn't just look at the way they play, they made the best show!"

……

The fans continued to talk, and two days later, the two teams moved to Dallas for the final tiebreaker.

Nowitzki is back in this game, which is undoubtedly a boost for the Mavericks.

This shot of strength also allowed the Mavericks to play on par with the Spurs after the opening.

At halftime, they trailed the Spurs by just six points, 41-47.

But in the second half, the game became Duncan's solo show.

This stone Buddha, who rarely said to Sun Hao before, "I will win the next game", began to rage at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

It wasn't until this time that everyone discovered that what was at the peak of Duncan's before was an illusion!

The Mavericks' courage in Game 6 can be regarded as forcing the real peak Duncan out.

The entire three-second zone was obscured by Duncan's long arms, and Nowitzki was forced to float to shoot from the outside, and he had just returned to the game and obviously didn't feel as good as he did before the injury.

On the offensive end, no matter who the Mavericks use, Duncan can score with ease.

What's more, this guy basically never ended!

Sun Hao also scored three-pointers from time to time on the outside, but the Spurs let Duncan guard the basket alone, and the others expanded out, and he didn't have as many opportunities to play.

As a result, the Spurs played a 30-13 disparity in the third quarter, which also made the final quarter of the game less suspenseful.

Duncan contributed 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in a single quarter, and there are many offensive and defensive performances that cannot be reflected in the data.

Two minutes before the end, the Mavericks were still trailing by as many as 13 points, and Nelson Sr. replaced the main players one after another.

Sun Hao brought the game back to Dallas, but the Mavericks, who were at a disadvantage, were still unable to cross the mountain of the Spurs in the end.

Sitting on the sidelines, Nowitzki looked up at the score on the LED for a long time.

He is still unwilling after all.

Sun Hao patted him on the shoulder.

"Next season, we'll win it back!"

Sun Hao's tone was firm.

The Spurs' biggest trump card, apart from Duncan, is the defensive formation that resembles a 2-1-2.

This summer, he's going to work on the middle distance.

"Hmm."

Nowitzki felt the firmness in Sun Hao's tone, and nodded his head as well.

The outburst before the injury was more like an accident, and he was really at an absolute disadvantage against Duncan, who was going all out.

In the tie-break, he shot 6 of 17 and scored 16 points, which obviously couldn't pass.

Just returning from injury and having a poor hand can be excuses, but he knows that the lack of low-post singles that Sun Hao said during the season is the most important thing.

He will work hard this summer to develop the "Golden Rooster Independence" that Sun Hao said.

At that time, it will really be like what Sun Hao said, and win it back next season!

At the end of the game, the Mavericks lost to the Spurs 79-91 and stopped in the Western Conference semifinals with a score of 3-4.

Finley had 21 points, Sun Hao and Nowitzki each had 16 points, and Nash had 10 points and six assists.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan played 40 minutes and scored a playoff career-high 41 points, plus 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 7 blocks and 3 steals.

At the end of the game, the fans stood up and gave the home team applause, cheers and whistles.

Although they couldn't win against the Spurs in the end, the Mavericks played well enough.

The first game was a blow to the Spurs, the fifth game was a back-to-back fight, and the sixth game was an impossible game.

The process is wonderful, and the future is worth looking forward to.

Because this is only the first season of the Dallas Grass Three!

Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, Sun Hao and Nowitzki led, and the players all reached out to applaud in response to the fans, and bowed to thank them.

It has to be said that Cuban has really cultivated enough loyal fans for this team.

Not only cheering together when you win, but also applauding when you lose.

After the game, before going to the press conference, Nelson Sr. went to the locker room to say some words of thanks to the players.

"We'll be back next season."

Finally, he said in a firm tone.

"Dallas."

This time he raised his hands as a coach and clenched them into fists.

The team members also leaned their hands on it one after another.

"Victory!"

The Mavericks shouted the team slogan together at the end of the season.

After the breakup, the elder Nelson took Sun Hao and Nowitzki to the post-game press conference.

At the press conference, reporters asked a lot, not only about tonight's game, but also about the team's summary of the season.

"We've been through trades, run-ins, and then we've gotten to this point, and my players are the best."

Nelson Sr. is crazy and authoritarian, but he's a really good coach.

"I'm sure we'll go far next season."

Nowitzki was persuaded by Sun Hao and also showed confidence at the press conference.

"What does not defeat you will make you strong."

Sun Hao said what he had said before.

It's just that the meaning of this sentence is different in different circumstances.

This time, this sentence is more like an expectation for the future.

They won't be knocked down by this defeat, and they will come out stronger next season and go further, as Nowitzki said.

After the reporter's question, Sun Hao, Nowitzki and Nelson Sr. left the press conference together.

When they came out, the three of them were in a good mood.

Although we lost the present, the future is worth looking forward to.

At this moment, Nelson Sr.'s phone vibrated and he picked it up and looked at it.

In the next second, Sun Hao and Nowitzki found that his face had changed and became ugly.

The two looked at each other, and neither dared to ask.

When we got back to the locker room, most of the players were gone.

The Mavericks' 2000~2001 season has ended, and the players are then going back to their respective homes and playing their own guns.

Most of the Mavericks' core is still under contract, and most of them should still be with the team if they see each other next season.

"Bastard!"

Old Nelson yelled when he entered the locker room.

The locker room was silent for a moment.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki sat back in their seats.

Then came a flurry of old Nelson's scolding.

"Sun, what's wrong with the coach? Who him off at the press conference? ”

Nash leaned over his head and asked in a whisper.

Sun Hao shook his head, he really didn't know.

Obviously, the mood in front is quite good, it should be because of looking at the phone.

Who sent what text message annoyed Nelson Sr.?

"Give me your ears pricked up, and I'll remember the next sentence."

Old Nelson raised the volume again.

Sun Hao and Nash also stopped communicating and looked up at him.

"I don't care how you play other teams in the future, but!"

A turning point, another decibel level, Sun Hao can feel that the old Nelson is as ruthless as he was at the last moment of the last game.

"If you meet the Spurs, fight me to the death!"

Sun Hao could feel that when old Nelson said that dead word, he really had a bit of killing intent.

It seems that that text message has a lot to do with the Spurs.

The team members didn't know what was going on, but they all nodded in unison.

In this round of semifinals, the Spurs made a black elbow to Sun Hao and a bad one to Nowitzki, and they have escalated from a regular season grudge to a feud.

In the long years ahead, the clash between the two teams is sure to be full of sparks.

After scolding, the elder Nelson asked Sun Hao and Nowitzki to follow him back to the coach's office.

By the time they arrived, Nelson Sr. had calmed down.

He said two things to Nowitzki and Sun Hao.

One is about the team's tactics next season, and he wants to increase the proportion of Sun Hao and Nowitzki's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics.

This is also the biggest takeaway for the team in this playoffs.

Another thing that has to do with this is that Cuban discussed trading Nash with him when he was down 3-1, and now he wants to ask the two for their opinions.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki glanced at each other.

The first thing is that they will definitely not have an opinion, just obey the team's arrangement.

But the second thing.

Old Nelson asked them, and it was also a sign of trust in them, but this kind of question is difficult to answer.

Saying that he obeyed the arrangement was not merciful enough for Nash, and suggesting that Nash should be left behind seemed to be against Kuban.

"I think I should keep Steve."

Sun Hao spoke before Nowitzki.

He knew that the relationship between Nowitzki and Nash was deep.

Old Nelson looked at Sun Hao, listening to what he had to say.

"Steve's passing can grow into history, with him in the team will be a lot more tactical, and he has a good run-in with the team, which can be seen in the G5 of the Spurs."

Old Nelson thought for a moment, then nodded.

In fact, he also wants to keep Nash, he wants to play and run, and a top passer like Nash is very suitable.

Wanting to trade Nash away is more of a Cuban idea, who has become intolerant of Nash's defense.

But now that Sun Hao's defense is slowly rising, Nash's defense is not so deadly.

You can't expect all players to be versatile offensively and defensively, and that's not the price if you do.

And Sun Hao also mentioned the G5 in the semifinals.

He's all about how to take out the Spurs right now, and it's obviously a game worth learning from.

Nowitzki glanced at Sun Hao, with gratitude and relief in his eyes.

"I'm also in favor of keeping Nash, it's just our first season, we've reached the Western Conference semifinals, and we're going to go further next season."

Nowitzki then spoke.

"I see."

As soon as the elder Nelson finished saying this, there was a knock at the door.

After pushing the door in, it was Cuban's bodyguard, saying that he was asking old Nelson to come over.

Nelson Sr. told Sun Hao and Nowitzki to go back, and told them to lock the door after leaving, and then leave the office briskly.

"Don is a good coach."

As he got up, Nowitzki spoke.

"Then we'll have to play harder next season because you know a good record will keep him our coach."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

This is a true saying, a good record can keep the position of head coach, even if he is fired, he will not worry about leaving home.

Nowitzki nodded.

"Hum~"

Just then, the table shook.

It was old Nelson's phone that he forgot to take with him.

Sun Hao remembered that the old Nelson asked him to close the door, so he shouldn't come back.

He picked up his phone and prepared to take it to Nelson Sr.

That is, when he picked it up, the phone screen lit up, and he saw the text messages displayed on the phone screen.

"Don, you can't win the championship your way." Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
