52. Provocation
Ye Han took Nowitzki to try Charlotte's famous Alaskan cod fillet, which tasted really good, but the two didn't eat too much, and there was a game in the evening, so they tried it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nowitzki is a pure basketball person, which makes Ye Han very impressed. Nowitzki didn't even accept any advertising endorsements! This is the only case of a player of his class.
Even Duncan, who is known for his low profile, has more than 20 endorsement contracts, and balloon stars such as Kobe Bryant and Iverson have nearly 100 endorsements.
The two got together for a while and parted, returning to the team to prepare for the evening game.
In fact, both teams had nothing to prepare for, and both sides were relaxed before the game.
The disparity in strength is too great, whether it is a strong team or a weak team, it is not easy to get nervous.
The situation of the two teams is very different, the Bobcats players have a clear status, the core players are clear, the team's goals are not high, there is no contradiction, and there is no contradiction in the possession of the ball on the field.
The Mavericks' side hasn't been in a good situation this year, and it's even more troublesome than the basketball grave Knicks.
Since the Mavericks acquired Nowitzki, owner Cuban has bought many stars around Nowitzki, making the team a top player in the league and a playoff regular, but they have never been able to go further.
The Mavericks have a lot of stars, but they may also have the biggest annual turnover of any team in the league. While they lost All-Star-caliber players like Nash and Jamison this past offseason, they got top players like Eric Dampier, Jerry Starkhouse, and Jason Terry, who once called themselves the second center in the West, and they have a stronger roster than last year.
Judging from the record, they are okay with 6 wins and 4 losses, but they obviously don't fit their lineup.
The Mavericks with Terry, Starkhouse, Daniels, Josh Howard, Michael Finley, Nowitzki, Dampier and Shaun Bradley shouldn't have it all.
As you can see from the Mavericks' pre-game preparation, they are clearly divided into two camps, with Terry, Daniels, Nowitzki, Dampier and Josh Howard together, and Starkhouse, Finley, and Bradley talking about something on the other side of the basket.
Intra-team contradictions, the Mavericks season has just begun, and intra-team contradictions have erupted.
The source of all this was Cuban's insistence on playing after Nowitzki's injury in the '03 Western Conference Finals, which was rejected by the team's head coach, Don Nelson. Cuban believes that Nelson Sr. was pressuring him to gain more power by vetoing his order to keep Nowitzki from playing, and Cuban used various ways to weaken Nelson Sr.'s power for more than a year.
This past summer, Cuban gave up Nash Sr. in an almost humiliating way, which became the trigger for the conflict to erupt, and now the team is clearly divided into two factions.
Stark House, Finley, and Bradley support Nelson Sr., and they all like Nelson Sr.'s coaching style very much, while Nowitzki, Terry, Daniels, Dampier, Josh Howard and several others support owner Cuban, hoping that the team's style of play can return to tradition and form a balanced offensive and defensive team.
Nelson Sr.'s crazy experiments haven't made it to the finals in so many years, let alone a championship.
Cuban recruited Dampier and let Nash go to give Nelson Sr. a signal to play defensively.
But so far in the season, the old Nelson is still his way, playing small-ball tactics, which has led to the breakdown of the relationship between the players in the team, and the record is not as expected.
Sometimes one step faster than other people's tactics is a genius, and many steps faster will be regarded as a madman.
The old Nelson now looks like a madman in the eyes of Cuban and Nowitzki, and the performance of the rising Suns, a rising powerhouse, has been selectively ignored by them.
The Mavericks' intra-team contradictions are too obvious and the world knows it.
Ye Han naturally heard about them, and now he sees that this is indeed the case.
However, when Ye Han met Nowitzki at noon, the latter did not worry about the team, and it seems that the Mavericks owner, who has always been known for his love of basketball, made some promises to the German superstar. As expected, Nelson Sr.'s position may not be guaranteed.
These things have nothing to do with Ye Han, even if people have conflicts, they will not send a few stars to the Bobcats, and the Bobcats have no bargaining chips to change.
Ye Han has a peculiar feeling for the calf, although their players are all strong, they are very distinctive in appearance.
Nowitzki is not ugly, but Ye Han is a Chinese, and he has the impression that there is a fairy who looks very similar to him, and this immortal is the boy under the throne of the Taishang Old Monarch who turned into a demon - the Silver Horn Immortal.
Overall, Nowitzki is good-looking, but not ugly. Bradley is okay, Finley is just a little older, Dampier looks like a stubble, and Terry and Starhouse are arrogant.
The focus is on the two baby perimeters that the Mavericks picked up with a low pick and a lost draft last year, Marquis Daniels and Josh Howard.
Both of these are super newcomers full of talent, super off-the-bench on the Mavericks' bench.
Daniels and Josh Howard's looks can be described as strange and ugly, enough to be compared to Cassel, who claims to be aliens.
After Ye Han saw the real person, he was amazed that the rumors were indeed true, it was really ...... There's ugly enough.
But these two sophomores are really very powerful, both of them were benches last year, and they can average 17 points and 9 rebounds per game in limited playing time, surprisingly becoming one of the representative players of the 03 golden generation.
This year, the two continued to play in rotation time as bench bandits, and their stats have improved greatly, and their average points per game have doubled. If they are replaced by the Bobcats, they will definitely be used as starters.
Ye Han looked at the other party's bench seat, and then looked at his own bench seat, and could only sigh.
At 7:30 p.m., the Bobcats' back-to-back games at home against the Dallas Mavericks began.
"Dirk, you lost today." Ye Han said as he stood beside Nowitzki.
"Oh? So confident? Nowitzki raised an eyebrow, he didn't expect the new friend to be defiant as soon as he started.
"Of course, your shooting guards are too old and slow, and I'm going to score 40 points again." Ye Han's tone was very arrogant.
Ye Han seemed to be very arrogant, but Nowitzki saw that Ye Han's eyes were very calm, and his body movements were very calm, not like the feeling when he was excited to provoke, if he was an arrogant person, his body would unconsciously tremble when he provoked.
This kid did it on purpose! Nowitzki looked around, and sure enough! Finley was right next to the two, and anger was now in his eyes.
"He's trying to make Michael lose his cool, and it doesn't look like it's going to be that easy today...... "Nowitzki finally got serious.
