Chapter 198: Revenge of Dallas
Chapter 198: Revenge of Dallas
After the victory over the Golden State Warriors, the Timberwolves did not stop, they are closer to the San Otonio, and now there is only a two-game gap left, as long as they work hard and catch up, there is still hope to catch up.
The next game against the Dallas Mavericks is another Texas powerhouse, which is the home of the famous devils.
However, with the goal of seventh in the playoffs in sight, how can these young lads of the Timberwolves be afraid to move forward, even if there is even the slightest opportunity, they will move forward at this moment.
The Dallas Mavericks are really perverted this season, and they have simply improved like a butterfly at the beginning of the season, jumping to the second place in the West in one fell swoop, and even the Phoenix Suns, who are unmatched in the offensive firepower league, are behind them.
In recent seasons, the Dallas Mavericks have paid a high luxury tax, but the team chemistry has been unsatisfactory, and although the aging Jason Kidd is trying to change the team, the chemistry between the various positions is extremely cold.
Even the local media in Dallas attacked his own point guard Jason Kidd, accusing him of stealing too many rebounds from team leader Nowitzki, and a guard who didn't do a good job of marking people from the outside, but went to the basket to grab the work of the interior player.
This remark put Jason Kidd under pressure, and the owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, has been sparing no effort to renovate the Mavericks, although he is extremely wealthy.
Under his instruction and management, the Mavericks have always been a big taxpayer in the league, and the league has given a lot of care, but they have never won a championship!
Dallas has been waiting for a championship for too long, they still don't have the first championship in team history, and league giants like the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics have won more than a dozen championships.
In '06, it was the best time for the Mavericks to win the championship. They cleaned out Steve Nash and made the Mavericks a one-man Nowitzki one-man team, making it all the way to the Finals and even taking a 2-0 lead in the championship series.
But the Miamians shattered all their championship fantasies like a nightmare, pulling them back into the cold reality.
In the end, the Dallas Mavericks were defeated and missed the chance to win the championship.
06-07 season. The Mavericks went on a four-game losing streak to finish 67-15 and set the sixth-best record in league history. Nowitzki was even named the MVP of the regular season, making him the best player of the season.
However, the former Mavericks coached Nelson Sr. and used his crazy and ruthless coaching tactics to defeat the Dallas Mavericks in the first round, so that this team aspiring to a championship was completely immersed in the nightmare of the Black Eight.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban finally realized the importance of a good playmaking guard for the team, and he began to regret the move to get rid of Steve Nash, but it could never be undone.
Mark Cuban, who has learned the hard way, wants to trade for Jason Kidd, another top point guard in the league. It's a pity that although the old demon Kidd is plagued by injuries and his offensive ability is not excellent, he is still one of the best point guards in the league, and his value is really not low, which makes Mark Cuban bleed a lot.
The Dallas paid for the signing of Jason Kidd at the cost of half a team, but unfortunately the chemistry has not been satisfactory.
Earlier this season, the Mavericks lost to the young Timberwolves, and Mark Cuban was ridiculed by the media for it. The vengeful Maverick boss has always been obsessed, and he has divided the hated Chinese kid into the ranks of Steve Nash.
Now. The Dallas Mavericks met Lee Se-ho's Timberwolves again, and Mark Cuban even secretly issued an announcement within the team that if he could perform well in tonight's game and beat the hateful Wolves, he would pay for a good meal for the whole team.
The local tyrant spoke, and all the members of the Mavericks were naturally very happy. The old demon Jason Kidd didn't say anything on his face, hanging high, and it was none of his business.
For him, he has taught Li Shihao a lot of experience, and the road of young people is to go their own way after all, if they just copy the path of their predecessors. Then it is destined to have no future, no matter if there are more tribulations, under the encouragement of the pressure, the young Chinese may be able to get out of his own way.
Nowitzki smiled bitterly, he was accustomed to the willful behavior of his boss Cuban, daring to love and hate, as long as he angered him, he would never die if he held grudges.
This was the case with his friend Nash at the beginning, he was very uncomfortable between the two of them, but now he was not too surprised, he was faintly used to it, and he was powerless to change anything.
The relationship off the field is one yard to one yard, Nowitzki is still a person who pursues victory, he is a player, and the strength on the field determines everything, Nowitzki is very open.
In the Mavericks' home court, Li Shihao rarely received some cheers, and at the All-Star Game, many Mavericks fans saw Chinese boys pass one good ball after another for their own star, which amazed the audience.
Fans with excellent memories naturally remember this "hearted" Chinese kid, and they are full of affection.
As soon as tonight opened, when Li Shihao came out of the players' tunnel, he received cheers from the fans, which made the Mavericks owner Cuban, who was watching the game from the sidelines, a little darker, he didn't expect that the fans of the Chinese kid had entered the interior of the Dallas.
Li Shihao was very surprised, even if he got cheers when he played away in Oakland, there are many Chinese people there, and he and Curry are still friends, so it is normal to get cheers.
It's weird to be cheered on tonight at the Mavericks' home court, and don't Dallas hate themselves the most, and they often dance in the media.
Li Shihao is wrong, the media in Dallas does not necessarily represent the thoughts of local fans in Dallas, and it is not wrong for capital to control the power of public opinion.
The scene of the guests and hosts enjoying themselves was eeriely displayed on the Mavericks' home court, but the young lads of the Timberwolves were extremely dark, planning how to deliver a defeat to the Russes at home.
The Mavericks are really strong, there are almost no weaknesses, they are strong inside and outside, and there is the old demon Jason Kidd in the backcourt, and the old Jason Kidd is restraining Li Shihao to death, and it is not easy for the Timberwolves to snatch a victory. (To be continued.) )
