As soon as Dallas, Adelman received a call from Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle, saying that he wanted to meet before the game.

Adelman and Carlisle have a very good relationship, in the 90s, Adelman left the Trail Blazers on the front foot, Carlisle joined the Trail Blazers as an assistant coach under the new head coach Callesimo, and the two have been closely linked over the years.

Carlisle belongs to the kind of academic coach with real talent, and his coaching skills are extremely strong, and if he is not very lucky in his coaching career, he definitely has more than two championship rings in his hand.

One ring is when he was a player in the 80s of the last century, and he mixed a ring with Green Kai.

Carlisle was similar to Sun Yue in the Lakers at the time, both of them were serious water cooler guardians, but later after Carlisle entered the coaching industry, he shined.

After experiencing the Pistons, the Pacers, and now the Dallas Mavericks, Carlisle finally settled down, and even led the team to defeat the Heat Big Three in 11 years, completing a championship that is enough to go down in history.

Nowitzki is naturally the hero of the Mavericks' championship, but in fact, Carlisle has also played an extremely important role in it, so to speak, if you change to other coaches, there is a chance that more than ninety percent of them will not be able to accomplish this feat, even if they are replaced by Phil Jackson or Popovich.

Eden didn't know much about NBA coaching, and after getting to know Carlisle, he only felt that Carlisle's coaching ability was ridiculously strong.

"Eden, Rick said he wanted the two teams to meet before the game, and I have known Coach Rick for a long time, and I haven't seen each other for a few days." Adelman asked for Eden's opinion, as a veteran coach, he didn't have to do it, but in order to show that he valued Eden, he wanted to hear Eden's opinion.

Yi Dun nodded, "Let's see you, I just want to talk to them too." ”

Some of the Mavericks' players, Eden is extremely interested, and there are many legends in this team.

What interests Eden the most is not Nowitzki, the soul of the Mavericks, but Vince Carter, nicknamed the half-man and demigod.

That afternoon, the coaching staff of both teams, as well as the players, met at the Mavericks' practice ground.

Yi Dun is naturally the focus of attention of the Maverick players, and there are no members of the Dream Ten team in their team, so no one has played against Yi Dun yet, but looking at Yi Dun's performance in the Olympics and the game against the Kings two days ago, the Mavericks will naturally feel Yi Dun's horror clearly.

Nowitzki, in particular, saw Itun, his eyes straightened, as if he had seen a hungry ghost in the color of a beautiful woman.

This kind of red fruit fruit eyes directly made Yi Dun's scalp tingle.

Nowitzki is naturally not a hungry ghost in color, on the contrary, he is an extremely infatuated person, he has never heard of Nowitzki making any scandals, and he is a rare good man in the NBA.

Now Nowitzki is staring at Yi Dun with such eyes, it is nothing more than his heart longing for a teammate like Yi Dun.

After winning the championship in '11, Nowitzki is ready to make a big splash and bring in reinforcements to help the Mavericks become a dynasty team.

But the team owner Cuban did something that made Nowitzki miserable at this time, and Cuban didn't have any intention of strengthening, not only did he not make the lineup stronger, but even weaker.

In the offseason, the Mavericks only brought in two players - Yi Jianlian and Delonti West!

Even if this Delonte West is introduced, according to the speculation of some American gossip media, it is definitely not for reinforcement, but to disgust James......

In the 11 finals, Wade and James imitated Nowitzki's cough and ridiculed Nowitzki's cough incident, but they made the Mavericks angry enough, and with the Mavericks' boss Cuban's retributive temperament, he invited the protagonist of "Friends Mother" to disgust James, and he could do it.

Originally, Nowitzki and Kubana could be said to be like brothers, but because of the reinforcement, Nowitzki was very unhappy, and even had the idea of leaving the calf.

Nowitzki doesn't want a player who can disgust James, he wants a strong player, a player who can help him continue to win championships.

There is no doubt that EDN is the right person to do so.

In the previous game between the Timberwolves and the Kings, Nowitzki watched from beginning to end, and the whole person was stunned.

It's hard for him to believe that there is such a strong player in the world, how many championships can he win if such a player comes to the Mavericks?

Not one, not two, but three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

However, it is a pity that Eden has signed a four-year contract with the Timberwolves, and the Mavericks have no possibility of getting Eden unless they trade with the Timberwolves.

Trade Eden with the Timberwolves? Selling all the calves is not enough to buy half an easy......

It's really that there are really no valuable players in the current Mavericks, the old ones, the weak ones, although they are not famous, but the trade value is not great.

For example, Vince Carter, who is very interested in Eden, is naturally famous, but the veteran Carter, who averages about 10 points and 3.5 rebounds per game on the trade market, can have any trade value.

There are also Jet Terry, Hacker Marion, Lama Odom, and Old Demon Kidd, all of whom are famous, but all of them are old and have little trade value.

Even with Nowitzki, the Timberwolves would certainly not consider making such a trade with the Mavericks.

Thinking of this, Nowitzki sighed deeply, and regretted why he didn't contact Yi Dun earlier, if he had contacted him earlier, maybe Yi Dun would be their Maverick by now.

Adelman and Carlisle met and hugged each other, and Carlisle turned his attention to Eden.

"It's nice to meet you, Eden, your pre-season debut was the perfect of perfections and I'm very happy for Coach Adelman, you're the player any coach could only dream of." Carlisle said sincerely.

Yi Jianlian translated with a smile on the side, he played under Carlisle last season, and he still knows a little about Carlisle.

Carlisle, don't look gentle and elegant, but his temper is completely like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and now Yi Dun can get Carlisle's evaluation, it is really not easy.

"Hello, Coach Carlisle, nice to meet you." Yi Dun responded politely.

Then a group of old fellows from the calf gathered around, and they were full of curiosity about Itaun.

Vince Carter stepped forward and touched Yi Dun's arm with a smile, "What a strong young man, if I were young, I would definitely want to have a few tricks with you today." ”

"Yi Dun, I've watched your game, what do you say? If I had started my career with a player like you, I might have doubled my career assists right now! The old demon Kidd also smiled kindly.

Several veterans surrounded Yi Dun and praised him in various ways, and they didn't have any competitive thoughts at their age, but when they were young, they couldn't say such a sensual thing.

Yi Jianlian felt very uncomfortable, he had never enjoyed this kind of treatment in the Mavericks last season.

In fact, Yi Jianlian knew very well that Kuban's purpose in signing his contract at that time was nothing more than to take a fancy to China's vast market.

Cuban wants to gamble on Yi Jianlian, in case Yi Jianlian plays out in the Maverick, the Maverick can get countless benefits, if he can't play, there is actually no loss, after all, Yi Jianlian's salary is very low.

(Kuban does attach great importance to the Chinese market, otherwise it would not have changed the name of the Chinese team of the Mavericks later...... ）

"Yi, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing lately?" Nowitzki did not greet Yi Dun directly, but directly greeted Yi Jianlian.

When Yi Jianlian introduced the Mavericks, he also had the idea of being Nowitzki's chief substitute, after all, there are still certain similarities between the two people's playing styles, and Nowitzki is naturally no stranger to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian nodded, "It's good, I really haven't seen you for a while, Dirk, your state is still so good." ”

"When you're older, don't talk about any form, it's time to hand over the team to the youngsters."

"Yi, contact more when you're usually fine, don't be so shy, and when the game is over, I'll invite you to dinner." Nowitzki smiled mildly.

Yi Jianlian smiled bitterly in his heart, usually contact more? I do have Nowitzki's phone, but I'm embarrassed to contact Nowitzki......

The purpose of Nowitzki's remarks can be generally heard by Yi Jianlian, and eighty percent of them want to establish a relationship with Yi Dun and strive to introduce Yi Dun into the Mavericks.

Just as Yi Jianlian thought, Nowitzki really thinks like this, it is rare to have an acquaintance like Yi Jianlian, as the so-called building near the water gets the first month, Nowitzki feels that he needs to make some action.

Although Yi Dun now has a contract with the Timberwolves, who can say well about the future, maybe Yi Dun will not want to stay in the Timberwolves at that time?

Texas isn't a great place to visit, but it's still a better place to live than Minnesota......

In case Yi Dun and the Timberwolves fall out and the trouble reaches an irreconcilable point, and Yi Dun directly picks and stops, the only thing the Timberwolves can do is to sell Yi Dun and recover the losses as much as possible, won't the Mavericks have a chance at that time?

After the players on both sides exchanged pleasantries, they chatted in groups, and Yi Dun took Sun Yue to find Carter, wanting to have a good chat with the legendary dunker.

Carlisle and Adelman, on the other hand, sat in the corner of the training ground, talking to each other.

"Old Rick, I congratulate you first, you have a very good chance of winning the championship this season." Carlisle looked at Eden not far away, his voice full of envy.

"Little Rick, do you really think there is any chance that we will win the championship? Isn't it foolproof that we won? Adelman said confidently.

Although the two have different surnames, they have the same name, and they are both called RICK.

Carlisle is actually extremely covetous of Yi Dun in his heart, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, his coaching ability is indeed strong, but now the ghost lineup of Mavericks, even if it is a fairy coach, it is difficult to lead the team to win the championship.

Carlisle, who has already tasted the beauty of winning the championship, dreams of having a player of Eden's calibre in his team.

Although he is Adelman's junior, he is actually not young, but he is also over 50 years old, so he naturally wants to win a few more championships before the end of his coaching career.

"I'm sorry, old Rick, I'm wrong, your claim that there is really no chance of winning the championship, this championship trophy is already yours."

"You're not young now, do you have any retirement plans?" Carlisle asked an extremely strange question.

Adelman nodded, "Actually, I originally planned to coach the Timberwolves for another season and then retire, but now that we got Eden, I think I might stay a few more years and make up for all the championships I missed." ”

"Little Rick, I know what you're thinking, are you thinking of poaching Eden when I retire?"

"I'll tell you the truth, my old buddies called me after our game against the Kings, and they all asked the same questions and had the same idea."

"Everybody's thinking I'm going to retire and then they're going to find a way to poach Itun." Adelman laughed.

Carlisle had a bitter face, he didn't expect those old guys to start so quickly, it seemed that he had little hope.

Originally, he thought that with his relationship with Adelman, when Adelman retired in the past two years, he would let Adelman introduce him, and he might be able to dig up Eden to the calf.

After all, the Mavericks are much better than the Timberwolves in every way.

The Mavericks' lineup is too old and old, and Eden can completely rebuild according to Eden's ideas after he arrives, which is a temptation for any player, and Carlisle is confident that Eden will poach the Mavericks with Adelman's recommendation.

There are three NBA teams in Texas, namely the Spurs, the Mavericks and the Rockets, and there was a saying that there were three major illusions in the NBA, that is, the illusion that the Spurs are old, the Mavericks are weak, and the Rockets are strong.

Now it seems that the calves are weak or not, they are old enough anyway......

Although the Mavericks can still maintain a winning rate of more than 50%, if they want to win the championship, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and if such a ghost lineup can still win the championship, it will directly send Nowitzki and Carlisle to the altar.

With no championship hopes at all and players aging to the extreme, a rebuild is the best option for the Mavericks, and Eden is undoubtedly the best cornerstone of the rebuild.

But now that those old guys are all worried about Yi Dun, this matter is not easy to do.
