Chapter 268 Yao Ming, the second center of the league(1/4)
Although, it is not difficult to understand Nowitzki's words to say.
He lost to the West Final last season and missed the medal again in the World Championships. He has been holding it in for too long.
The Mavericks started the game with a perfect start, and they were different from the previous winning situation by winning by excellent results. They really showed their strength.
In addition to his own hot state, this is the kind of emotion that comes, so naturally blurt out.
After winning the Pistons, the Mavericks continued to work hard, defeating the Heat and Raptors one after another, expanding their winning streak to 7 games!
At this time, not only Dallas, but also the league is discussing the Mavericks.
Looking back at history, the third topic of the 2002-2003 season's first three seasons: Dongmai, Xike, and Changsheng defeated Niu.
Dongmai refers to Maddy in the east.
After scoring 43 points in his debut, McGrady began his scoring performance, playing for half a month averaged 35+!
The white horse and spear are invincible.
The scoring champion is already waving to him.
Moreover, he is not alone in his scoring path, because the lemon tree planted by Sun Hao in Kobe's heart has blossomed and bear fruit!
Xiko refers to Kobe in the West!
Kobe's personal offensive desire this season has reached the peak of his career.
His average shots reached 23+ times, 5 more than O'Neal!
Don’t think that the number of 5 times is not too much. Any fouls caused in basketball games will not be included in the shooting statistics.
So you see 5 times, but you really see more than this number during the game.
With the surge in shooting rights, Kobe's average score has also exceeded the 30-point mark for the first time!
Although the Lakers' record has fluctuated greatly after the start of the game, no one seems to be able to stop Kobe from becoming the new king of Los Angeles.
Then, there is the ever-winning bull.
The Mavericks' performance since the start of the game, as Kenny Smith said, doesn't seem to find a way to beat them.
Or, as Nowitzki said, the Mavericks are ready to win the championship.
Three major topics, talk about them after dinner.
This time it seems that even Nowitzkili flag, the Mavericks will never die.
After winning 7 consecutive victories, the Mavericks welcomed their old rival Spurs at home.
They had successfully revenge the Spurs last season. Faced with the opponent that Old Nelson wanted to win the most, they naturally would not hold back and launched a crazy offensive at the beginning.
But the result of the game was unexpected to everyone.
101 to 108, the Mavericks' seven-game winning streak was ended by the Spurs.
With 101 points, the Mavericks' own offense is fine.
But the Spurs, which have never been good at attacking, actually scored 108 points!
In addition to Duncan's daily score of 25+15, Ginobili also scored 21 points, and Parker also scored 16 points and 6 assists.
The Spurs seem to have found a new way to play with the Mavericks as well.
On the defensive end, I do my best and may not necessarily be required to prevent you, but I guarantee my firepower on the offensive end.
Anyway, the teams who scored more points won the game.
Nowitzkiri's flag seemed to come true in the end.
The first game of the season was lost to the Spurs.
The Mavericks' members felt like they were riding a roller coaster together. They reached the highest point and then suddenly slid to the bottom of the valley.
That kind of blows is very big.
Then in the game against the Pistons, the Mavericks had a bad morale and the Pacers were not airtight in defense. In the end, they lost the game and suffered a two-game losing streak.
In the locker room after the game, the team atmosphere was a bit dull.
"Don't be depressed like my wife ran away. Open your eyes and see who the fuck is the first in the league! Find a few women to have fun at night, and tomorrow will be another wonderful day!"
Barkley's post-match encouragement is special, but it works very well.
The team members started to joking loudly while taking a shower.
After taking a shower, Sun Hao saw Nowitzki still sitting there in a daze, not even rubbing his feet, and he looked worried.
Not long after, the team members left the locker room one after another.
Nowitzki is still sitting there.
"Dike?"
Sun Hao was carrying his schoolbag and preparing to leave. Seeing that Nowitzki had not moved, he called him.
Nowitzki didn't hear the first time, and he looked up after he shouted the second time.
After looking around the locker room, there was no one else, he came to his senses.
"What do you think?"
Sun Hao put down his schoolbag first and walked to him and sat down.
"Sun, I still don't understand why we lost, to the Spurs and the Pacers."
Nowitzki's words explained the reason why he was stunned for so long.
He is the biggest difference in the Mavericks' mood in this wave of losing streak.
As he said in the post-match press conference, he was already thinking about winning the championship, but reality gave him a head-on blow.
"Dike, these are just two regular season games."
Sun Hao feels that Nowitzki's mentality this season is a bit bad.
Although the Mavericks' lineup has become stronger, it is impossible for them to keep winning!
"But we played well, we beat them last season."
Nowitzki is confused about this place.
It is acceptable to lose if you perform poorly, and it is acceptable to lose to the Lakers, but it is lost to the Spurs and Pacers.
The Spurs succeeded in revenge last season, and the Pacers never lost.
Isn't this equivalent to saying that they are weaker than last season?
"They are getting stronger, too."
Sun Hao did not say anything like flag poisonous milk, but said seriously.
“Is there any?”
Nowitzki was stunned for a moment.
The Spurs have no substantial reinforcement this summer.
If signing veteran Kevin Willis counts.
The Pacers are almost the same, and Miller is one year older.
"Of course there is, becoming stronger does not necessarily mean trading and signing people. Have you not noticed that Ginobili, Parker and Artest have made great progress?"
After talking about this, Sun Hao probably knew what Nowitzki thought.
He couldn't tell Nowitzki that the championship in history was the Spurs, nor could he tell Nowitzki that the Pacers would be the league's first in the regular season next year.
But he could explain this.
The Spurs lost to them last season because they lost their strength on the outside. Although they had Ginobili and Parker, they were both too immature.
But now entering the second grade, both of them have improved greatly.
Ginobili, especially, became more mature after experiencing the baptism of the World Championships.
As for the Pacers, they are not weak at all, and Artest's rapid growth makes up for their weakest forward line.
Just like "What would it be like if Sabonis entered the NBA earlier?", another topic that fans are keen on is "If there was no Auburn incident, will the Pacers become the final champion."
Therefore, although the lineup of the Spurs and Pacers has not changed much, the strength has improved by no less than that of the Mavericks.
"No one is standing still, aren't we improving all the time?"
When Sun Hao saw that Nowitzki didn't say anything, he continued.
Except for a few who squander talents like the "big dog" Robinson, most of the NBA players train hard.
It was Kobe who saw Los Angeles at 4 a.m., but more teams also knew about the scenery of other cities at 4 a.m.
To put it bluntly, there are only so many people that NBA can hold. If you don’t work hard, some people can replace you.
"I see."
Nowitzki nodded.
