Trailing 3-0, the Mavericks' training was changed to a closed one.

In desperation, they lost one more game and the season ended.

The luxury lineup was swept in the first round, and such an ending was unacceptable to them.

The morale of the players was inevitably low when they trained.

While practicing, the team's owner, Cuban, came to the training gym.

Cuban is the owner of one of the league's favorite basketballs, and the current situation of the team, he is more anxious than anyone else as the number one fan.

He came to the stadium for one purpose, which was to boost morale.

He was followed by a few assistants who brought in a few large boxes.

Looking at the portion, it's quite heavy.

Carlisle saw Cuban coming, and just wanted to call the players off the field.

Cuban motioned for him not to shout, and he stood beside Carlisle, chatting and waiting.

When the on-field training was over, he asked Carlisle to gather the players together.

"I know every single one of you has worked the court, but I know you can do a little bit better, remember that you're fighting for Dallas."

Kuban's words are more direct, and his character has always been like this.

"This is a small gift from me."

Kuban said as he asked the staff to open one of the large boxes.

Inside are brand new computers.

"This is Lenovo's latest notebook, and they're a great business, and the product is great."

Cuban spoke.

Lenovo's retail sales of all products in the United States are much lower than in other countries, and it has a good reputation.

These notebooks cost just over $1,000 each, and fifteen are less than $20,000, which is indeed a small gift.

However, it doesn't matter how big or small the gift is, and the fact that the players receive a gift from the team owner is in itself a memorable event.

Kuban then asked the staff to open a second box.

The second box opened, and the team members were blinded by a burst of golden light.

Cuban actually brought the championship trophy he won in 2011 to the training gym!

"I heard that Don and AD got a tattoo of the championship trophy on their arms, so I brought the real one over to you."

"My baby."

Nowitzki had a sweet smile on his face.

The journey to the championship five years ago is his sweetest memory, and he will never forget it.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and touched it.

After the NBA championship trophy is awarded, there is a customary championship parade, which is then displayed in the showroom.

The last time Nowitzki touched the trophy was five years ago, when the champions paraded.

Five years have passed, and the only people in the original group are him and José Barria.

A round of cheers ensued in the training hall.

The players flocked to the front.

It was the first time most of them had the chance to touch a championship trophy.

This gift is much more valuable than the computer just now.

Butler also went up, and he looked complicated when he touched the championship trophy.

There is excitement and loss.

Excited that he had the opportunity to touch, disappointed that it didn't belong to him.

"Guys, the series isn't over yet, I trust you, you can bring back the championship trophy that belongs to this team."

When the players had touched enough, Cuban continued.

There was a shouting in the training hall.

Carlisle was also a little excited.

Cuban's big move has been sacrificed, and he has to win the fourth game no matter what!

Cuban is gone, and the championship trophy is gone.

This thing is priceless and can't really be in the training gym.

But I've seen it, I've touched it, it's enough, and the morale of the Mavericks players is unprecedentedly high.

During training, the shouting in the training hall never stopped.

When the training was over, Butler stayed behind to continue the practice.

It wasn't until about 2 o'clock in the evening that he finished training.

After taking a shower, he took out the computer that Kuban had given him.

He's a training freak who trains in addition to competing.

But last summer, he worked the brothers' training camp, because of the hurricane, he followed Tang Tian and Walker to play 2K for several days.

So he has one more leisure project in his life, playing 2K.

He had already started the game before he practiced, and he was ready to play it now.

He installs it and opens the game.

Playing two handfuls properly is a good way to relax after training.

The game started, but he played for a while and found that there was a stuttering problem, and the bottom of the computer was still hot.

As a result, after playing a game, it was indescribably uncomfortable.

"What garbage."

He threw the notebook straight into the closet.

The quality of this notebook is also too inferior.

After changing his clothes, he didn't bother with the notebook anymore.

Although the notebook is rotten, the championship trophy brought by Cuban still motivates him.

He can still fight better, no matter what, he has to win a game in Tang Tian's hands.

Two days later, the Pelicans and Mavericks game kicked off at the American Airlines Center Arena.

It was a matchpoint game for the Pelicans, and winning this one would sweep the Mavericks to advance to the second round.

This is also the last battle of the Mavericks, and they have no way back.

The American Airlines Center arena was packed, and fans held up a large number of signs.

In addition to defending the home stadium, there are also a number of slogans such as "New Orleans next" and "0-3 comeback".

Dallas fans also know that this game is either life or death, and they have brought everything that can be used.

Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, players from both sides entered the arena one after another.

Stevens observed the state of the Mavericks at this time.

Sure enough, it was said by Tang Tian again.

The Mavericks are excited that this game will be tougher than the previous three.

At the opening ceremony before the game, the Mavericks players cheered as they came out.

It was also at this time that fans noticed that there were changes to the Mavericks' lineup.

Delon didn't start again, and Jennings became the team's starting point guard.

It was Carlisle's trick and it got the fans excited.

It is a positive sign that there is a need for change in a desperate situation.

Embiid jumped to beat Davis to kick off Game 4 of the series.

Nowitzki broke through Davis head-on as soon as he came up, and the Golden Rooster hit an independent shot to give the Mavericks the lead in scoring.

Tang Tiansan threatened to break through to the basket and also colored.

But in the end, Harris took a mid-range shot against the interference of Holiday to help the defense.

Davis received an assist from Tang Tian and made Nowitzki foul under the basket, and continued to score points on both free throws.

Jennings came back with a three-point miss, but Butler flew to grab the rebound in the front court and forced a foul on Jokic, and also hit both free throws!

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 32-26, and the Mavericks took the lead.

Although I don't know what the reason is, the Mavericks showed a completely different state tonight than the previous three games!

Stevens stood up from the bench with a tactical board, his brow furrowed.

Looking at this quarter, the Pelicans have no problem on both offensive and defensive ends.

It's the Mavericks, who played at a proper level tonight.

It seems that it is really going to be like Tang Tian said, and the series is likely to go back to New Orleans!
