Although Dallas is only the third-largest city in Texas, when the bus pulls into the city, Yuan Shu finds that there are significantly more people on the street than in Houston.

In the streets of this city, which has the title of "cowboy capital", there are many patrolmen on horseback patrolling the streets, including many female mounted policemen who have become a beautiful scenery on the street.

When the bus passed by the Kennedy Monument in the Memorial Plaza, a female mounted policeman who was passing by the bus attracted Yuan Shu's attention, and Yuan Shu, who was sitting by the window, looked at a female mounted policeman, and when Yuan Shu and the female mounted policeman got closer and closer to the bus and the horse, the distance between the two was also approaching each other.

When the two sides were closest, only passing by through a glass window, the female mounted police made a shooting gesture at Yuan Shu with one hand, and shouted to Yuan Shu: "Dallas will win!" ”

After listening to the words of the female cavalry, Yuan Shu, who withdrew his gaze, sneered, and thought to himself: "If she has seen the power of my knight, she will definitely change her opinion..."

The Dallas Mavericks, the team's history is not outstanding, they have never won an NBA championship before this season, and there is nothing in their history that can be compared, and the only time they reached the Finals was a 2-0 lead by the Heat led by Wade and O'Neal in four consecutive games.

However, in the history of the Dallas Mavericks, there have also been two talented trio combinations. One was the famous "Dallas 3J", Jason Kidd, Jim Jackson, and Jamal Mashburn, but with the conflict between pickle girls, the trio with the strongest offensive firepower in the league at the time parted ways. The other time was the trio of Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Michael Finley formed after personality boss Mark Cuban took over, but with the record has not broken through, Nash moved to the Suns, and Finley defected to the Spurs, the second trio separated again, and the Mavericks began to regroup with Nowitzki as the core.

Last season, the Dallas Mavericks got Caron Butler and Brandon Haywood through trades, and finally achieved the second place in the West, but they met the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, and lost 2-4, achieving the opponent's "Black Seven Miracle"!

This season, the Mavericks have replaced the "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler, who has greatly enhanced the depth of the interior, this 2.16-meter-tall, passionate center, who is good at defense and blocking, has made up for Nowitzki's poor defense, and almost single-handedly supported the Mavericks' interior defense! Since the start of the season, Chandler has swept away the sluggish form of playing for the Bobcats last season, averaging 10.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game! Chandler moved to Dallas as the Mavericks' starting center, pressing Brandon Haywood, who was the Mavericks' starting center last season, to the bench.

The best choice for the big forward's starters, Dirk Nowitzki, played 25.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.0 blocks last season, playing an MVP-level season, especially 0.9 steals and 1.0 blocks, showing Nowitzki's positive defensive attitude last season! The German power forward, who is known for his accurate shooting and full-court shooting without dead ends, is the direct opponent of Yuan Shu in this game. Behind Nowitzki, there is also a former Western Conference All-Star nicknamed "The Hacker" Sean Marion!

Judging from the Mavericks' interior configuration, even if they are bench players, they also have the strength to start, and the Mavericks' interior can be called the strongest season in recent seasons!

The starting candidate for small forward is Caron Butler, Butler who came to the Mavericks is the best candidate for this position, after coming here from Washington in the East, Butler's three-point shot seems to have suddenly opened up, and he actually shot an astonishing 43.1% shooting rate, you must know that Butler's previous 9 seasons in the NBA single-season high three-point shooting rate was only 35.7%!

In terms of shooting guards, DeSean Stevenson, who had a feud with James in the Eastern Conference playoffs, started and was responsible for defending the opponent's outside scoring arrows, and he and Butler immediately became important pieces of the Mavericks' championship puzzle after arriving here from the Wizards. Of course, Stevenson was just a pseudo-starter, and the real owner of the position was Jason Terry, nicknamed "The Jets", and every time he scored a crucial goal, Terry's gliding celebration always thrilled the fans in attendance!

The position of the organization guard, by the old and refined current "triple-double king" - Jason Kidd, the old and strong league once the strongest point guard, last season can still get 10.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 9.1 assists, and shot the second highest single-season three-point shooting rate of 42.5% in a single season, is a veritable old demon, and as a veteran who entered the NBA in the 94-95 season, he also has the ability to mark the opponent's 1-3 position! On the bench in this position also sat a wonder soldier - José Barria, who is only 1.83 meters tall!

This season's Mavericks can be described as strong, and after being black-eight and black-seven in a row, the Mavericks have tried their courage, recruited troops, and made a comeback!

When the game was about to start, Yuan Shu sat in the Cavaliers player area on the sidelines, took out the reward "Leg Guard Cream" drawn from the system, and wiped it up and down on his legs.

Valejo, who was sitting next to Yuan Shu, asked strangely, "Yuan, what are you painting here?" ”

"Sunscreen!" Yuan Shu replied without thinking about it, a big man, besides this, it is impossible to paint other things.

After listening to Yuan Shu's words, Vallejo looked up at the shadowless lights hanging over the court, which was indeed very dazzling, if it weren't for Yuan Shu's reminder, Vallejo, who had been playing for so long, really didn't raise his head to take a good look at these dazzling headlights.

Taking his eyes off the lamp, Vallejo blinked his eyes that were dazzled by the light, and pulled his bird's nest head down vigorously, muttering, "It's a little sunny!" "Completely forgot that I was a Brazilian!

Just as Vallejo was squirting saliva and arranging his hair, Yuan Shu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly jumped up from the chair on the sidelines.

"Let's start, I can't wait!"

Under the gaze of Chandler, Nowitzki, Kidd and others, Yuan Shu walked confidently at the front of the Cavaliers five-man group, and his eyes burst out with a desire to look forward to the start of the game!
