The All-Star Game is over, and Hu Qingniu is back on track with the Bobcats.

It was late at night, and when he opened the door of the villa, Hu Qingniu finally felt home. No matter how bustling the place you come from, home is always the best taste.

"Bang! Bang! Clang! ”

Hu Qingniu's ears twitched, this is the sound of basketball, it is very familiar. When I looked up, the lights on the indoor court were on, and the sound of a basketball hitting the floor and hoops could be heard inside.

"Who is still practicing so late, don't you know that the coach and I will come back today, so I will go and perform well."

Hu Qingniu crept in.

Yellow skin, dripping sweat, short black hair, soft touch.

It's Dazhi!

"Hey, Coach!"

Ewing was also there, and he smiled a smile that he thought was good-looking.

Dazhi also stopped.

"Coach."

Hu Qingniu gave a thumbs up and said.

"You go on, I'll watch for a while."

Dazhi then continued to hold the ball outside the three-point line, and made a three-point shot directly after a false shake.

Hu Qingniu pulled Ewing aside and asked.

"Why is Wang still training?"

Ewing Road.

"Coach, do you know who our next opponent is?"

Hu Qingniu really forgot a little, there have been a lot of things in the past few days, and suddenly a flash of inspiration seemed to be a little impressed, and he almost blurted out.

"Dallas...... Mavericks! ”

Hu Qingniu understood something in an instant, the Mavericks were the place where Dazhi's dream began, but he gave him his dream, and later abandoned him and chose not to renew his contract.

In the NBA, if a rookie is not renewed by his parent team, he will basically not be taken seriously when he goes to other teams, which also declares that his career is basically here.

And in the Mavericks, Dazhi has a best friend and Dazhi's biggest opponent - the German tank Nowitzki.

Ewing added at this time.

"Wang told me that the Mavericks' Germans have to add 500 threes a day after practice, so he wants to do that himself."

Then all this makes sense, just like after a boyfriend and girlfriend break up, there is a law of reunion, and both parties are trying to prove that they are better off than each other. Dazhi is now trying to prove that the Mavericks regretted breaking up with him, and he wants to not fall behind in the confrontation with Nowitzki, and even defeat the other party.

After watching it for a while, Hu Qingniu didn't look any further, and he wouldn't persuade Dazhi to go to bed early or something. Fighting like a man is what Hu Qingniu wants to say, and Hu Qingniu understands and approves that the player has such a competitive spirit.

Hu Qingniu couldn't sleep all night, although Dazhi had completed the 500-ball three-point training before the early morning, but the sound of the basketball hitting the floor was still echoing in his head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

He's thinking about the game against the Mavericks the day after tomorrow, the players have worked so hard, and from a coach's point of view, how he can work hard.

On the 18th, just two days after returning from the West Coast, Hu Qingniu had to take his team and get ready for the trip.

Destination, Dallas.

On the plane, Hu Qingniu deliberately sat in a row with Dazhi.

"Well, what does it feel like to be back in Dallas."

Dazhi smiled in a trance.

"Time makes people old. I think I was still in high spirits when I first came from China a few years ago, and now I am almost thirty years old. ”

......

John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza, the most famous attraction in Dallas, commemorates President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated here.

A monument, a memorial wall with a flagpole behind it, on which is the American Star-Spangled Banner, fluttering in the wind. The square is a meadow that is not very flat. The monument is designed to be suspended from top to bottom and surrounded by four sides, and the interior of the monument is only a single piece of black marble with Kennedy's name carved in gold.

The sun is very good, and that's what Texas is all about, and the sun shines all year round. Moreover, the solar energy lasts from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the typical continental climate makes the memorial square look particularly solemn and solemn in the sun.

It's already very close to the American Airlines Center arena.

Dazhi said.

"The first time I came to Dallas three years ago, I got here on my own. When I heard that this was the best attraction in Dallas, I thought about it. I didn't expect it to be a small square, not as big as the playground in the army. ”

......

The American Airlines Center arena is much better than Charlotte's City Arena. It's also one of the best arenas in the league, and who gave the Mavericks a willing owner Cuban. This thing is not enviable, owners like Cuban and Lakers Buss Sr. are the owners who really love the team.

Although they are all athletes, their enthusiasm and dedication to the team are no worse than that of an athlete-born owner like Jordan. In some ways, these owners do a better job because they are business elites who know how to run a team, rather than being like Jordan. So much so that the current Bobcats are basically managed by Hu Qingniu.

Looking at the magnificent American Airlines Center Arena, Dazhi suddenly lowered his head and walked in silently. Most of the pictures of the owners of this stadium are all placed on the side of the road.

Before he could reach the away team's dressing room, a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes who looked like a king with golden horns walked over quickly.

This is not who Nowitzki is, and there is no second foreigner who looks like the Golden Horn King so much. Hu Qingniu plays every time he looks at this face.

"Hey, my brother."

Nowitzki and Dazhi had a hug, as peers, they had known each other in the international arena for a long time, and they had established a deep friendship after being drafted by the Mavericks two years ago.

After some greetings, Nowitzki was also very happy that his brother had finally gained a foothold in the NBA.

"Hello, Instructor Doctor."

In addition to Dazhi, Nowitzki is also familiar with Hu Qingniu and Wade.

Hu Qingniu didn't respond, his soul flew away, he looked at Novitsky's face, sorting out the questions he had been thinking about for so many days.

How to defend Nowitzki better?

In terms of rule elements, the war between the big man and the big man is a game that uses body + technology + intelligence to position, and how to keep it between Nowitzki and the basket will be the focus.

Hu Qingniu summarized several key points.

The first is not to take his ball lightly, because it will send the face into Nowitzki's cylinder.

Second, don't push him with your hands, whether it's falling to the ground or jumping back to shoot with the trend, he can easily do it.

Third, to defend Nowitzki, you have to rely on psychological warfare, you can throw it casually in the face of defense, but it is absolutely not possible to pass people. It was up to Dazhi to take advantage of the side slip to follow up with the Germans.
