100 million project?

Nash was dumbfounded by what Sun Hao said.

Of course, Sun Hao was joking.

He just wanted Nash to listen to him.

"I mean for our friendship, for our team, and for our respective careers, and even the $100 million we might make in the future, we need a conversation."

Sun Hao continued.

Nash thought for a while, then nodded.

In fact, when Nowitzki approached him, he realized that he and Sun Hao needed a conversation.

Just like Sun Hao said.

It's just that he didn't know how to speak before.

...

After the training, Sun Hao and Nash went to a nearby coffee shop.

Don't ask why you always talk about things in the coffee shop, there is no more suitable place in the United States than a coffee shop!

"I think we should suggest to the coach that when we are on the court at the same time, you play more with the ball and I play more off the ball."

As soon as Sun Hao came up, he went straight to the topic.

This is also the decision he made after thinking twice.

There are many reasons for making this decision, which can solve the current tactical status problem between him and Nash, which can help the team get back on track and so on.

But in fact, the more important reason than these is that he is also being targeted now, and he also needs to make his playing style more varied.

Humans always think of themselves first.

Of course, there is another point, which he learned from the previous game with the Lakers.

O'Neal can take the initiative to give in to weirdos like Kobe, why can't he?

He learned the lesson of "Emotional Intelligence".

What's more, what he gave up is only the right to hold the ball, and the right to shoot may not necessarily decrease.

After listening to what Sun Hao said, Nash was stunned for a while before he realized it.

Sun Hao actually offered to give up the ball!

This is not something ordinary people can do.

After he reacted, he was moved first, then ashamed.

He was not even willing to communicate with Sun Hao in private before.

And two days ago, because Cuban only helped Dirk Nowitzki and Sun Hao on the show and didn't speak for him, he felt that he was not taken seriously, so he didn't even invite Sun Hao to have a barbecue!

Compared with Sun Hao's current attitude, he really... has the idea of ​​finding a hole to get in.

And now after Sun Hao said that, he was so ashamed that he didn't know how to speak.

Sun Hao didn't know what was going on in Nash's mind. Seeing that he didn't speak, he opened his mouth to add.

"I think the previous coach's arrangement was very good. When I started, I played more off the ball, got off the field early, and then came back in the second quarter to bring the bench lineup."

This is him, he has considered all the details!

"I'm sorry, Sun, my previous attitude..."

Nash spoke last, but was half-sentenced.

"Don't talk about it before, I understand, I would do the same if I were in it."

Sun Hao took up the conversation, he felt that Nash was not only jealous, but also a little arrogant.

Nash nodded, Sun Hao had already talked about this point, and it was pointless to dwell on the previous matter.

And after the chat, he was no longer as restrained as before.

"Sun, how about we stay and practice after training?"

And while chatting, he also took the initiative to propose to Sun Hao.

"No problem at all. You pass the ball and I shoot. Training is the foundation."

Sun Hao would never say that I want to increase my friendship with you so that you can be my caddy.

Of course Nash didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking, he nodded with a smile.

It felt like I had finally found a way to make up for my previous attitude.

The two hit it off, and the next thing happened naturally.

And after the chat, Sun Hao discovered that Nash's favorability in the system jumped from 58 to 69 in an instant!

Not only is it back, but it's also up!

This is very Nash!

The next day, Sun Hao and Nash went to find Old Nelson together.

Old Nelson readily accepted their proposal.

The team's performance has ups and downs, and he also needs to change.

Sun Hao is willing to make concessions to embody "Formation", and he is impressed.

That night, the Mavericks played at home against the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns made it to the Western Conference semifinals last season with impressive strength.

While "Penny" Hardaway played just four games into the season with an injury, sophomore Sean Marion filled his void nicely.

Plus Clifford Robinson, Tony Delk, Rodney Rogers and many other powerful players.

Of course, the most important thing is to have Jason Kidd, Nash's lifelong enemy, and the Suns are still strong in the Western District.

In fact, open the eyes of the sky, this season in history the West is truly divided.

The No. 1 Spurs have 58 wins, and the No. 8 Timberwolves have 47 wins, only 11 wins away.

This shows that the strength gap between the teams, especially the strong teams, is very small.

In this game, the Mavericks finally lost 93 to 104, swallowing a three-game losing streak.

Kidd had a triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists.

But a good sign is that Nash's state has finally picked up.

Facing the enemy of his life, he surrendered 15 points and 7 assists.

And it is worth mentioning that 3 of his 7 assists were given to Sun Hao.

Thanks to Nash's assist, Sun Hao scored another 18 points, and his state improved significantly.

Anyone can feel that there is some chemistry between the two, although it will take some time.

After a day off, the Mavericks played the final back-to-back of this grueling schedule and their last two games in December.

Facing the ageless "Utah Shuangsha", the Mavericks played a wonderful game.

Sun Hao continued to improve and scored a team-high 25 points. Nash also scored a double-double with 16 points and 11 assists.

The chemical reaction between the two has entered a new stage.

However, Nowitzki's performance against Malone was mediocre, scoring only 11 points and 7 rebounds, and the final lore shot also missed the basket.

The Mavericks eventually lost their opponents 91 to 93, suffering a four-game losing streak.

For a while, the public opinion that had just been turned back by Cuban swarmed towards the Mavericks again.

For those who gloat, those who have fallen into trouble, we will appear on the stage after you sing, it is very lively.

This time, though, it didn't affect the Mavericks too much.

Because the team, from the management to the coaching staff, and even the players, can feel the improvement of the team's state and a certain chemical reaction that is taking place.

This also includes Sun Hao.

Because in the past few days, the increase in favorability between Nash and him can be described as "sitting on a mosaic".

Originally, it was difficult to increase the favorability, which can be felt from Harris and Nowitzki.

But Nash, in less than a week, went directly from 69 to 80!

[Gallery Bond] This is how Sun Hao can unlock caddy Nash in the system!

This looks pretty unbelievable, even miraculous.

But understanding Nash's character, maybe it's not so strange.

There is no shortage of such people in life. They usually seem to be jealous, small-minded, and even easily jealous of others.

So their circle is actually relatively small, maybe just a few people.

But once you enter this circle, your status in his heart will rise rapidly.

To describe it in one word, arrogant.

Although Sun Hao's relationship with Nash was okay before, it was at most a marginal test, but this time he entered directly.

So he has enough reason to believe that winning may be in the next game!

On December 29, the Mavericks played back-to-back at home against the Timberwolves, the last game in December.

In the past summer, the luckiest team was the Orlando Magic, they harvested McGrady and Hill at one time, but the most unlucky team was the Timberwolves.

Because of a "yin and yang contract", they were confiscated for the first round of the next five years. Team owner Glenn Taylor and vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale left for one year. The protagonist of the contract was the No. 1 pick in 1995. Joe Smith's contract with the team was also declared void.

Although McHale later claimed that such contracts were very common in the NBA at the time.

"Eight or 10 teams do it all the time, they're good at it, and we got caught."

But a violation is a violation, and there is nothing wrong with the Timberwolves being punished like this.

The problem is that Kevin Garnett, the core of the team, is suffering. Without Smith, the inside partner, not to mention, the future of the team is gone.

But even so, Garnett is Garnett after all, one of the greatest power forwards of the 20th century, and he still led the Timberwolves to the playoffs.

The Mavericks' current record is 15 wins and 10 losses, seventh in the West.

The Timberwolves' record is 14 wins and 11 losses, eighth in the West.

Although the two teams are in different divisions, they are now in direct competition.

And like the Mavericks, the Timberwolves have performed mediocrely in the past week, losing to the Spurs, Lakers and Trail Blazers one after another, and suffered a wave of three-game losing streak.

This game is very important to both sides, and it can even be regarded as a game that changed the trend of the season.

The two teams also attached great importance to this game, and both came to the arena early to warm up.

Sun Hao also met "Wolf King" Garnett for the first time.

At this time, although Garnett had a big bald head as in the impression, he hadn't grown a beard yet, and looked a little green.

But in fact, this is already his fifth year in the league, one more year than Nash.

And besides Garnett, he also accidentally saw a familiar person.

Chauncey Billups, I didn't expect him to be playing with the Timberwolves at this time.

In addition to the two he saw, someone from the Timberwolves came over to say hello to him.

Wally Szczerbiak, last year's No. 6 pick, is from Madrid, Spain.

When Sun Hao participated in the joint trial training in Europe before, he heard his name in the training camp, and now he can see the real person directly.

Handsome is really handsome.

Szczerbiak is a shooter, his nickname is "Handsome", and with that tall guy, it really fits well.

At the end of the warm-up, Garnett continued to interview reporters on the sidelines.

"What do you think about tonight's game? We know the team hasn't had a great week."

In Dallas, reporters naturally tried to find ways to beat the morale of their opponents before the game.

"No, we didn't perform badly. We lost 3-5 points in every game, which means we didn't play badly."

"Then what do you think of tonight's game?"

"We're going to win the game, we know it's going to be tough, maybe it's going to be the fourth quarter again, but we're sticking together and we're going to win the game."

"What do you think of Dirk?"

"Dirk, Dirk is a very good young player, but he still needs to learn and grow. It will be very interesting to play against him. I will enjoy the process."

Garnett is a "professional trash talker" on the court, and he is not too much off the court.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams' starters were also released one after another.

On the Timberwolves side, Trier Brandon and Billups on the outside, Szczerbiak and Garnett on the front, and Rasu Nesterovic at the center.

For the Mavericks, Nash, Sun Hao, Finley, Nowitzki and Laettner are still the starting lineup.

Laettner flicked the ball back to the Mavericks half to officially kick off the game.

In the first round, Sun Hao started running without the ball.

In fact, another important reason why he is willing to play off the ball is that his height has grown to 1.87 meters, which is close to 1.9 meters in shoes, which is not short among combo guards.

And the biggest help that height brings when playing off the ball is vision.

Coupled with his already gold-level basketball IQ, playing off the ball is completely enough.

After Nash and Nowitzki pick and roll, a pass-in feint, and then a pass with an advance amount to Sun Hao.

The ball was very deceptive. After receiving the ball, Sun Hao had already thrown off Brandon and quickly pushed and shot.

Nesterovic, like the great pyrenes Sun Hao encountered in Europe, couldn't keep up.

The ball spins toward the hoop.

"Shua!"

There was a crisp sound.

Sun Hao's first three-point shot, hit!

This is not only the addition of a series of badges for pick-and-roll masters, catch scorers, and long-range marksmen, but also the results of his and Nash's training inside and outside the system over the past period of time.

Chemical reaction, invisible but tangible!

Mavericks, go first.

Garnett's high ball-holding organization in the frontcourt.

There was such a comment to describe Garnett's style of play.

If a player averages 22 points per game, you think that person is a decent scorer.

But if you add 11 rebounds per game, you will feel that this person is a strong insider.

But if you add the average of 6 assists per game, you will think it is impossible, such a player does not exist.

If you add 1.5 steals and 2 blocks, you will think this is a joke.

Garnett is such a player, a player who can really play from the first to the fifth position.

The word Almighty was synonymous with him for a long time in the early 20th century.

A beautiful pass to a cutting Brandon, who also scored the Timberwolves' first 2 points of the night.

The Mavericks continued to run tactics in the frontcourt. Nash passed the ball to Nowitzki after the pick-and-roll this time.

Nowitzki flying layup.

However, Garnett strode back to the three-second zone, chasing him and giving Nowitzki a big cap.

Top defensive talent!

There was a commotion at the scene.

After Garnett blocked the block, he kept beating his chest on the sidelines and let out the iconic roar of the wolf king.

When he looked back, he passed the ball face-to-face at the free throw line and made a fake move, breaking through Nowitzki's one-handed dunk on the long arm of the inside.

The ball was smashed into the basket.

4 to 3!

Timberwolves take the lead!

Garnett glared at Dirk Nowitzki after dunking.

In the past attack and defense, he completely suppressed Nowitzki.

Just like what he said in an elder tone before the game, Nowitzki still has a lot to learn!

His eyes are full of confidence.

It's just that he never expected that this would be the only lead for the Timberwolves tonight.

And this game will be an unforgettable game in his career.
