Chapter 229: The Bond Between Nelson and the Mavericks, the Bond Between No. 1 in the Western Conference and No. 8 in the Western Conference

February 1, 2007, Dallas.

Texas has been very lively recently.

Because Yes went to watch a Texas game, media from all over the United States flocked to Texas and Durant.

Durant!

Yes seems to be very interested in this person they ignored!

Why didn't they think of this candidate before?

Oden and Curry are still too dazzling.

Another issue is Yes’s selection style.

Yes used to like people with big butts, but Kevin Durant’s butt is not that big.

In an interview yesterday, Yes said that Durant is very good, but he is too thin.

Does that mean that as long as Durant's butt gets bigger, he will choose it?

Yes is different from other NBA stars who have a lot of official talk.

Yes never speaks in official terms.

What he says is what it is.

Yes said Durant is very good, so in Yes's heart, Durant is very good.

Yes said Durant lost some weight, so Durant just lost weight.

Originally, media experts across the United States were hyping ‘Oh yeah! 'combination.

Now that Durant has appeared, the media's attention has been slightly diverted from Oden.

If the Sonics get the No. 1 pick, they'll pick Oden, but if they don't get the No. 1 pick, they'll pick Durant?

Oden acted as Pippen for Yes, which was a bit humiliating.

Durant plays Pippen for Yes, but it seems that he is not strong enough.

These media experts in the United States are also very confused.

They were worried about the teammates around Yes.

“Dallas hasn’t been this busy in a long time.”

"Yeah, the last time it was so lively was when Yes came."

"I never thought Mr. Nelson would choose to coach a team like the SuperSonics."

Nelson left the Mavericks in 2005, but his reputation in the Mavericks is still very high.

Nelson Jr., the current general manager of the Mavericks, is Nelson Sr.'s son.

The current head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson, is a disciple of Nelson.

Nowitzki, the current leader of the Mavericks, is a player trained by Nelson.

This is the bond between Nelson and the Mavericks.

It can be said that this Mavericks team was created by Nelson.

When Nelson left the Mavericks so suddenly, Nowitzki thought Nelson was joking.

Nelson's departure was so decisive and sudden that everyone in the Mavericks thought Nelson was ready to retire.

Who would have thought that Nelson would pick up the pointer again in the SuperSonics.

So, for the Mavericks, their focus on the Sonics is beyond imagination.

Nowitzki and the Mavericks are curious.

Why did Nelson give up the Mavericks, which had a promising future, and why did he come out for the junk-filled SuperSonics.

"Mr. Nelson is a very peculiar person, and what he pursues is always different from ordinary people."

In the NBA, some people pursue money, while others pursue honor.

Fame and fortune will always account for one, or both.

But Nelson was different.

Fame and honor? Old Nelson has a lot, but he does not have the most important honor in the NBA, the championship.

money? Old Nelson also had it, but he definitely didn't treat money like dirt.

Whether it's fame or fortune, Nelson has room for advancement.

But Nelson had absolutely no motivation to move forward.

If Nelson really wanted a championship so much, why would he suddenly abandon the Mavericks he built?

After Avery Johnson led the Mavericks and were reversed by the Heat last year, he has been thinking, if it was Nelson who led the team, the Mavericks would have won the championship, right?

The fame is like this, and the profit is about the same.

If it were for greater interests and money, there was no need for Nelson to resign suddenly in March.

At that time, Nelson still had a contract worth nearly $6 million that had not yet been fulfilled.

Nelson's sudden resignation is equivalent to giving up the six million US dollars!

Nelson's willfulness always makes Avery Johnson feel incredible.

Just like the teacher's nickname, the mad scientist, is the teacher really pursuing just the simple pleasure that basketball gives him?

Nowadays, many people think that Teacher is an offensive head coach. These people have never thought that Teacher actually started out as a defensive coach.

Many people think that Popovich is a defensive head coach, but he knows that Popovich's achievements on the offensive end are not weak at all.

Avery Johnson will never forget the scene in 1993 when Popovich was kicked out by the Spurs and took him to the Golden State Warriors to apprentice with Nelson.

When Nelson and Popovich discussed tactics, Nelson's defensive accomplishments shocked even Popovich, a disciple of Larry Brown.

"Mr. Nelson missed many opportunities because of his willfulness and madness, but he has never regretted it."

"I can be said to be a Nelson who is not willful, not crazy, a little serious and a little bad. Maybe in the future I will have the same pure love and fun for basketball as Mr. Nelson, and I will also want to explore the crazy side of basketball performance. , but now, I know that I don’t love basketball that much. Mr. Nelson’s level is not something I can reach now. Larry and I are both common people.”

Avery Johnson has always remembered Popovich's evaluation of Nelson.

"Mr. Nelson thinks Yes is much more interesting than me, right?"

He left the Mavericks behind, but was willing to coach the SuperSonics.

Nowitzki knew Nelson's answer very well.

There was nothing about him that interested Mr. Nelson.

Yes, supersonic...

Nowitzki always feels that this team will struggle with him in the future.

I don’t know if it’s because of Nelson or other reasons.

"I hope our opponent in the first round this year is the Seattle SuperSonics!"

This is the best wish of young General Johnson.

The current Mavericks are still Nelson's Mavericks.

Nelson has always been a hurdle that the Mavericks can't overcome.

For him and the Mavericks, only by defeating Nelson in the playoffs will the Mavericks usher in a new era.

"According to the current situation in the Western Conference, the SuperSonics are most likely to be eighth in the Western Conference. We need to surpass the Suns and Rockets to rank first in the Western Conference."

The Mavericks and SuperSonics can only meet in the first round this season.

Although Yes is strong, given the strength of the SuperSonics, it does not have the strength to break through the first round.

First in the West!

The Mavericks have been working hard for this!

God’s trial of our suffering is over.

The suffering we sown last year has come to bear fruit and reap the sweet harvest!

This year’s Mavericks will shock the world!

Nowitzki is full of confidence.

"We are going to push the Sonics back to eighth in this game!"

"This game is the beginning of our charge to be No. 1 in the Western Conference!"

The Rockets have declined, and now is the best time for the Mavericks to overtake the Rockets!
