Sun Hao also used a metaphor.

He is a time traveler, not to mention that his personality is not afraid of things.

Fu Paul was stunned for a moment.

Because in Sun Hao's metaphor, he should also be one of the tiger and the lion.

Sun Hao didn't explain much. In fact, there was no big difference between Fu Paul and Gu Yi.

After the chat, Sun Hao and Fu Paul left.

Fu Paul has to go back to Brooklyn to deal with his affairs, while Sun Hao has to prepare to go back to Dallas.

Just as Old Nelson thought before, the Mavericks' season start schedule is easy, but then there is a difficult schedule.

He also had to go back early to start preparing for the war.

...

About ten minutes after Sun Hao left, the girl in front of him went back.

Although she is still wearing sunglasses, she has changed her outfit.

She looked at the location where Sun Hao was before, where there was already empty.

She went to the bar and asked, but nothing was asked.

She finally left with a disappointed expression.

...

Time has come unknowingly mid-December.

After the Mavericks returned from their away trip to California, their record was 14 wins and 5 losses, and they still dominated the Lakers to occupy the second place in the East.

However, in the next half month, their opponents and schedule will be very difficult.

They will fight the Spurs again at home, followed by a Knicks, then the Kings and the Supersonics back-to-back, followed by the Suns, Jazz and Timberwolves back-to-back.

This section is a double test of strength and physical strength.

The pressure is currently on, but the players are in a good mood.

Because in about ten days, Christmas will be coming.

The significance of Christmas to Americans is exactly the same as that of Chinese Spring Festival.

Although the team's major core members, Nowitzki, Nash and Sun Hao are not Americans, the boss Cuban has already spoken that he will not interfere with dinner this Christmas, but for lunch, he will invite everyone to eat together, and also prepare a very special gift.

As for what gift it was, Cuban didn't say, which made Sun Hao very curious.

But that will only be revealed until Christmas.

After a day off, the Mavericks began their Devil schedule.

At the beginning of the season, the Spurs had a match with the Mavericks. Nowitzki scored 27 points against Duncan, but unfortunately he failed to win the final victory.

This time the two teams fought again, and the Mavericks were obviously targeted.

And it's not just Nowitzki, but also Sun Hao. He was double-teamed at any time with the ball, and even various small moves of the defender delayed his pass.

The old fox Popovich is really better at targeting human skills than anyone else.

The Mavericks eventually lost 76-91.

Nowitzki scored 16 points and 8 rebounds, while Sun Hao only scored 14 points and 4 assists.

If the two of them had performed too well before, and the Mavericks' record was good, many people would have forgotten that one of them was only 22 years old and the other was only 18 years old.

However, compared to their brothers, Nash's performance was even more sluggish, with 7 points, 5 assists and 3 turnovers.

After a day off, the Mavericks then faced the Knicks.

Although the Knicks left Ewing, their overall strength was not weak.

The two teams played until the last moment, Nowitzki hit a key three-pointer, and the Mavericks passed the thrilling 99-96.

Nowitzki scored the highest 24 points in the team, and Sun Hao scored 20 points in a recovery in form.

However, Nash's condition is still average, with only 9 points and 4 assists.

After playing against the Knicks, the Mavericks then played back-to-back games with the Kings and the Supersonics, but lost both games.

Adelman and the Kings became the victims of Old Nelson and the Mavericks, and the Supersonics also learned from the Spurs to play against the Mavericks.

Sun Hao's performance also fluctuated.

It is obvious that as he gradually showed highlights, his opponents began to study targeting him.

They don't value the face of the stars as much as Phil Jackson. They know that Sun Hao likes to use pick-and-rolls, so they all change to a flexible big man to fight against him.

Although Sun Hao can also get rid of scoring, the decline in scoring efficiency is inevitable.

And gradually they also discovered that Sun Hao's passing ability was not as good as he thought, and the double team began to come up.

Although the rookie wall that Barkley mentioned was a little late, it was still rolled up with dust and came towards Sun Hao.

Of course, as Su Qun said, Sun Hao is very smart in playing basketball. His performance was not that explosive after being targeted, but his score was actually not small.

Compared to him, Nash is the one who is even more depressed.

After the Mavericks started this difficult schedule, no, to be precise, Nash's performance has dropped significantly since the Lakers' game.

In the previous 18 games, he averaged 14 points and 6.3 assists per game, and only had 2.1 turnovers per game.

However, in the past four games, he averaged only 9.2 points and 4.6 assists per game, but his turnovers turned into 2.9 times.

Moreover, the shooting percentage + three-point shooting percentage has also dropped from the previous 48.7% + 40.6% to 41.5% + 35%.

Christmas is approaching, and the Mavericks' record has changed from 14 wins and 5 losses to 15 wins and 8 losses, and their ranking has also dropped to sixth in the Western Conference.

Although I had been mentally prepared before, when the team's record really declined, the team was still filled with a sense of depression.

At this moment, the media that had long been disliked by the Mavericks, can finally let out a strong anger.

"Man, offense wins the box office, defense wins the championship."

In TNT's latest episode, Barkley once again shouted out his famous sayings to the camera.

"Dick I can only shoot Nowitzki, and when he feels bad, he's a squirming German fat intestine."

"Sun hit his rookie wall, madness is no longer crazy, and the little emperor was pulled down from his throne, and he was left with only a few blind throws."

"Steve Nash, I don't know what defense is at all, and I even forgot how to attack!"

Barkley took the opportunity and showed no mercy.

When Kenny Smith called him such an expression, Barkley said a final summary.

"The jumper team will never win the championship, and they may not even be able to enter the playoffs."

As a historically low-post master, he has never been disdainful of such teams that rely on outside shooting and make a living by the weather.

History is also his most powerful assistant, and there has never been a team that has won the championship entirely by offense.

The remarks quickly spread among the fans.

Moreover, on the United States, it has also attracted a large number of fans to echo.

"I've long seen the Mavericks get upset. They seem to be able to shoot forever! God is fair, they can't keep shooting in!"

"That's it! Look at the game against the 76ers. If they weren't lucky, would my first 40+ night of the season be destroyed?"

"Stop talking, that boy from Asia is all lucky in front of me. The first 40+ night I got stuck was also destroyed by him!"

"And the drunkard that old Nelson, who is playing with chopping sharks, is that it's simply a trick to take advantage of loopholes. If it weren't chopping sharks, I might lose to them?"

"The new boss named Cuban also said that buying planes for the team, what else can you do besides bragging? I don't look at how much he is worth!"

"The city of Dallas is hard to describe. It's a perfect match for such a team there."

...

Fans are more realistic than Barkley. You should know that in the United States, after Jordan retired, all the fans were divided into several large pieces.

The Mavericks defeated the Raptors again, reversed the 76ers, and used the Sharks to deal with the Lakers, which offended all the most popular teams.

The media's belittlement and the fans' attacks, and for a moment, the Mavericks became the target of public criticism.
