The Dallas Mavericks, in fact, should not be called the Mavericks, the Mavericks' logo is a big, tall horse. Dallas is located in the southwestern part of the United States, and the horse and the cowboy riding are the symbol of the American West, so the people of Dallas have the horse as the team symbol of their city. The translation of "calf" is simply misinterpreted because the English meaning of mavericks means "unbranded calf and other livestock", forgetting that mavericks also means another thing: a person who has succeeded by being a maverick. The real translator should be the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Mavericks in the '9O have been one of the best in the NBA, and they have had a lot of problems, not making the NBA playoffs for a decade starting in 1988.

But in 1997 they welcomed the leader of the thousand wins coach - Donald Alvid Nelson, also known as the old Nelson, in the subsequent 1998-1999 pre-season draft, the old Nelson made what may be the most brilliant trade of his life, he used the option of Robert Taylor with the Bucks in exchange for the option of Pat Garrity and the then unknown German player Dirk Nowitzki, and in exchange for Pat Garrity and the Suns for the young player Steve Nash, Overnight, the Mavericks' skeleton was formed.

At the beginning of 1999-2OOO, the Mavericks coached by Nelson Sr. began to soar under the leadership of the Three Musketeers. The Mavericks went over 5o wins over the next four years. At this time, the elder Nelson also began to propose his most controversial tactic - hack-a-shaq (hack-a-shaq), that is, for players who do not have a high free throw shooting percentage, they can foul and let them make free throws to control his score. As soon as this tactic came out, academic coaches such as Larry Brown firmly objected, and O'Neal even pointed out that Nelson's old tricks were despicable and completely clown's behavior. But there's no denying that this tactic works.

On the bus, Doug Collins and Michael Jordan were discussing the upcoming game. Old Nelson's insidious cunning, unconventional play, made Doug Collins fearful. A clear concept of a striker with the ball, maintaining an attacking style of running and shooting, and creating the controversial "shark slashing tactic". A three-time head coach in the league, you never know how many cards he has in his hand, and perhaps his nickname "Mad Scientist" will prove how great he is.

Tactics, finally decided, I and Dirk Nowitzki, I am completely consistent with Dirk Nowitzki in the game, he is up, I am up, he is down and I am down, 1 against 1 close to the German tank in the game, the style of the two of us is too similar at present, both are big men who can shoot on the outside, and they are both strongmen who can cause misplaced defense, so let's make the two of them a good choice. Putting Jaeherdy White and Christian Leitner on the inside to keep the pressure on the inside, after all, the Mavericks' interior strength is really good and a bit excessive. On the outside, Michael Jordan plays point guard and Richard Hamilton plays small forward.

After changing clothes in the locker room, Doug Collins waved his hand and punished, and his teammates walked out of the locker room to warm up before the start of the game.

"Kwamei, wait a minute!" Suddenly, Jordan stopped talking.

I was a little blind, and the old fritter behind me, Christian Leitner, shrugged at me, grimaced, and spread his hands out to show his helplessness, which was his old habit.

It was just me, Michael Jordan and Doug Collins in the locker room, and even the assistant coach was out.

Michael Jordan stared at me with a cold eye for a good minute, and I was a little furious by his staring.

"Are you proud? Kindness? Michael Jordan said in a disdainful tone.

"Huh?!" I was amazed and I don't know how to come to this pride.

"Look at your last game, you only had 8 rebounds, and you only had 1 rebound in the front court of those 8 rebounds, and you got distracted from Christian at the beginning, Christian won two NCAA championships, and was selected to the "Dream Team" when he was in college, what about you? There were 5 turnovers in the game, do you think you're at a high level? Yes? You say, don't you? Didn't you just score 29 points? What is there to be proud of! There are countless players in the NBA every day who score 4O, 5O, or even 6O, how much have you achieved, this year's rookie ranking you are only in fourth place now, Jason Richardson, Pau Gasol and others are still in front of you, your name has not appeared in the All-Star nominations, what are you proud of? What do you have to be proud of? What honors have you received? Have you ever won a regular season MVP? Is it the MVP of the finals? Bullshit! **It's a rookie, what kind of big guy are you ......"

Jordan's words were more ugly than the last, but he was really right. I was really proud after the game against the Spurs, I was lost in the long compliments from the reporters, and I really slacked off in the game against the Rockets because of the opponent's weak interior strength.

"You pay attention to yourself, don't fucking achieve a little bit and cock your tail, tell you, you grab a lot of things in the NBA at your level, if you don't work hard, you're the second Olawokandi!" Michael Jordan kept growling.

"Michael, it's also for your own good, Brown, you're really a little proud, you have to pay attention! Let's go out and warm up first! Head coach Doug Collins said in a low voice.

One sings red-faced, the other white-faced, cliché.

I said yes and turned to walk outside.

"Am I being a little too strict with him, Doug?"

"It's alright!"

"Hopefully it didn't dampen his enthusiasm!"

"Haha, probably not, although this kid is usually shy and doesn't like to talk much, but his ability to resist blows is still quite strong!"

"Yes, if you don't have a strong ability to resist blows, you won't abuse yourself for two months after the last fight with the Pacers."

"Yes, his training is so hard, it doesn't make sense if he doesn't succeed"

"Now we have to keep ringing his alarm bell and hitting him, so that he can keep improving!"

"Yes! I'm really looking forward to seeing him reach the pinnacle of his career! ”

"It shouldn't be far away!"

I hurried onto the court, my teammates were already warming up, and I grabbed a basketball and started to find my touch.

"What's wrong? What did Michael say? Christian Leitner leaned over from the side and asked.

"It's okay, just tell me to pay attention to Dirk Nowitzki's move!" I didn't tell Christian Leitner for Michael Jordan's rant just now, but told a little lie, maybe for the sake of face, maybe something else, but I really don't want to tell Christian about it, everyone has their own **.

"That guy is really hard to deal with!" Christian Leitner said, shaking his head.

This is a bit of nonsense, Dirk Nowitzki, who is one of the top ten big forwards in NBA history, Nowitzki has an extremely soft hand, a variety of scoring methods, a scoring range covering the entire half, mid-range shooting, breaking, three-point shooting, and a good low-post offense, plus a height of 212 cm can even make him a big center, he is a hero of Dallas, and it is Dallas's business card that will remain unchanged for the next ten years.

Today, this great power forward will be my opponent.
