This is different from playing games. It’s not like killing a boss and you can pass it smoothly next time you go there.

Because their opponents are becoming stronger just like them.

"Keep your normal mind. We are very strong this season, but we are never able to win the championship easily. Even the Lakers, weren't they almost defeated by the Kings and us last season? And our record since the start of the game is also related to our opponents."

Although Sun Hao has never won the championship, his positioning of the Mavericks is still very clear.

After strengthening, they are popular to win the championship, but the Kings of the West, Spurs and Lakers, the Pacers, Celtics, Wizards and Nets in the East, are still strong or even stronger, just like last season.

The only difference is that they were the challenger's position last season, but this season, they are at least on the same level as them.

As for who wins and who loses in the end, it depends on on-the-spot performance and targeted adjustments.

Or in other words, many Western teams have the ability to win the championship this season, and the person who wins in the end will get a championship with a very high value.

The day after chatting with Sun Hao, Nowitzki came back to life in the training class.

And he took the initiative to motivate his teammates and brought back the morale of the team.

Sun Hao can feel that Nowitzki really wants to win this season.

And these experiences have slowly made him mature.

Well, we head from novice drivers to mature veteran drivers.

At this moment, a news came from the alliance.

Yao Ming signed a sneaker endorsement contract with Nike.

Don’t think it’s strange. Because the center doesn’t sell shoes, the sneaker contract is generally signed slowly.

When Sun Hao heard this news, he immediately sent a congratulatory text message to Yao Ming.

In history, Yao Ming signed Reebok with sneakers.

But to be honest, Reebok's shoes are not of great quality, especially for center shoes, which can even be described as poor.

Theoretically, people with weight like Yao Ming have more burdens on their knees and ankles, but the one he suffered the most was his thumb.

A similar situation also happened to O'Neal.

In addition to being both heavy, they have one thing in common.

Yes, they are all wearing Reebok shoes.

So in a sense, Yao Ming’s early career reimbursement has a lot to do with Reebok shoes.

After all, shoes are the most influential of all competition tools on players.

Now because of his relationship, Nike has paid more attention to Yao Ming in order to fight Adidas, and has invested a lot of money to sign Yao Ming.

This team of Yao Ming is also good news.

After Nowitzki calmed down, he scored 35+15 in the game against the Trail Blazers, defeating the opponent Rashid Wallace and leading the team to defeat his opponent.

After the game, Sun Hao, as a teammate, felt that Nowitzki really had the chance to compete for MVP in his current season.

And he is also passing more balls to Nowitzki.

The team's goal this season is to win the championship, and there is no problem with who is in the best condition to pass the ball to whom.

After playing against the Trail Blazers, the Mavericks won the Bucks and Suns in a row.

After 11 games, the Mavericks ranked first in the league.

Just as Sun Hao said, the Mavericks are very strong this season.

The regular season is steady and has a good ranking. It is the time when the game officially begins.

And that sentence is true. Only by standing high can you see far.

The Lakers played in the regular season in the first two seasons, and their strength was enough. At the beginning of the regular season, they were thinking about the playoffs.

After winning the Suns, the Mavericks rested for two days and played against the Wizards at home.

The Wizards' lineup has not been much adjusted in the offseason this season. Barkley left, and they added another veteran, Danny Manning.

It was mentioned at the World Championships that the 1988 No. 1 pick who was tyrannized by Schmidt at the Pan American Games.

Manning's role is also similar to Barkley last season.

However, the Wizards' record has improved a lot this season, now 8 wins and 3 losses are overwhelming the Nets, the Celtics and Pacers are temporarily ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

The biggest reason is Van Gundy's acquisition and Yao Ming's progress.

After playing last season, Jordan seemed to figure out something. He is already 40 years old and it is impossible for him to fight for everything like he is 20 years old.

So in the new season, he has greatly reduced his shots, from 23 last season to 17 this season.

What followed was improved efficiency, and his shooting percentage increased to 46%.

Although it is still incomparable to its peak period, it is 3 percentage points higher than last season.

His average data is also stable at around 22+5+6.

In summary, he is more labor-saving and more efficient in fighting.

And the part of the ball he divided was basically in Yao Ming's hands.

As a result, Yao Ming began to look up in the second year of his career.

He has been playing 13 shots per game so far this season, and has averaged 18.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2.1 assists per game, and has a 51% shooting percentage.

In terms of data alone, this is already the second center in the league behind O'Neal.

There have been a large number of Yao Ming fans in Washington, and they even created the "Yao Ming is deadly".

Because of Sun Hao's appearance, Yao Ming did not go to Houston like in history, but it seemed that it did not affect those outside the field.

What should appear still needs to appear, and it will be more rapid than what is coming in history.

The day before the two teams played, the Wizards arrived in Dallas.

Yao Ming, come to find Sun Hao.

"I have something to ask for your opinion."

Yao Ming's purpose of coming surprised Sun Hao a little.

As he knew, from the earliest contact to the subsequent series of things, it all showed that Yao Ming was a very independent person.

For example, when he negotiated with the Basketball Association, he never called Sun Hao. For example, Sun Hao only found out about the Nike signing just now.

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian have completely different personalities.

Speaking of the last time such a thing happened, it was when Yao Ming decided whether to run in advance.

However, after hearing what Yao Ming said, Sun Hao was no longer surprised.

Because this time, it may be more important than whether to run ahead of schedule.

"Jeff wants me to gain weight, should I do that?"

Jeff refers to Jeff Van Gundy, the current Wizards head coach.

Judging from Yao Ming's name, he and Van Gundy get along very well.

However, when Sun Hao heard this, he always felt a bit familiar.

The Wizards failed in the Eastern Conference Final last season, which has a lot to do with Jordan's injury.

But fans find it difficult to accept the fact that Jordan failed and made Collins completely useless during the offseason.

Well, just like the scene before Phil Jackson took office in Chicago.

Collins couldn't stand this public pressure, so after explaining to Jordan, he voluntarily resigned and left.

It just so happened that Van Gundy was fired in New York, and the Wizards management signed him directly.

Van Gundy is not a famous coach. The scene that impressed fans the most was probably the playoffs that year. In order to stop Mooning and Larry Johnson from fighting, he was dragged several meters in a hurry to save Mooning's thigh.

He also received the nickname of "Hammock" because he was taken off the floor when he was dragged by Mooning, like a hammock.

But Van Gundy is not an unknown person, his defensive league is famous.

In this era, defensive coaches are always very popular.

So it is normal for the Wizards to ask him to be the head coach.

Sun Hao's words are also very familiar with him.

The reason is naturally because in history, he is the coach who coached Yao Ming for the longest time.

Bald, rigid, and there are all kinds of tactical notes before each game. They have a good defense, but they seem to have no idea what offense is.

Then, it is to make Yao Ming gain weight.

This is a topic that will be repeatedly mentioned by Chinese fans in the future and will never be discussed.

Those who support him said that if Yao Ming did not gain weight, he would not be able to reach the peak level in the future.

This is determined by the background of the times. If Yao Ming was born in the small ball era, he would be a dominant center if he didn't gain weight.

But he was born at the beginning of the century. If he didn't gain weight and fight, he would be called a soft ball, and as a center, he would have no dominance in the inside;
