Chapter 7 Mavericks Status

Office of the Dallas Mavericks general manager.Mavericks general manager Nelson Jr. was the only one in the office, sorting out the files.

Since taking over the position of general manager of the Dallas Mavericks from Nelson Sr. in 2001.Little Nelson has been working diligently, and boss Mark Cuban's trust in him has reached its peak.

After several years of tidying up since he took over, since 05, the Mavericks have been always ready to win the championship.

In the 05-06 season, the Mavericks almost swept the Grizzlies in the first round with 60 wins and 22 losses in the regular season, and then eliminated the Spurs 4:3 in the semifinals, and won the finals in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns were eliminated with a score of 4:2, and they also won the first Western League championship in team history.

However, the Mavericks won two games in a row in the finals, and were finally reversed by the Miami Heat with a score of 2:4. They won the finals runner-up and missed the championship.

In the 06-07 season, the Mavericks had a record of 67 wins and 15 losses in the case of a losing streak at the beginning.And the team's ace player Dirk Nowitzki won the MVP of the regular season, and he is also the first player in the history of the Mavericks to win this honor.

But in the first round of the playoffs, the Mavericks were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors led by Don Nelson with a total score of 4:2, becoming the opponent's "black miracle."

Yes, that's right, it was Nelson's father, Nelson, who led the Golden State Warriors to kill the Mavericks' championship dream.

The reason why Nelson Jr. became the general manager of the Mavericks was because his boss, Cuban, refused to pay the former boss, and owed the salary of the old Nelson, which caused the old Nelson to resign voluntarily. salary.

In the 07-08 season, the Mavericks can be said to have sent almost half of the team, including Devin Harris, Desai Gaina. Van Horn, two first-round picks and $300 million for one of the best point guards in the league -- Jason Kidd.

But the results of the regular season were not satisfactory, and finally ranked seventh in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, they faced the Western upstart New Orleans Hornets and lost with a total score of 4:1.

This is also a problem that has caused little Nelson a headache this season.Because the Dallas Mavericks' salary space was as high as $2008 million in the 2009-9505 season, ranking second in the league in salary space, it is difficult for the team to make major reinforcements this season.

Because last season in order to get Jason Kidd, the team basically overdrawn the draft picks for the next two years. This season they only have the 51st pick in the second round.

Yesterday, when he was having a headache for reinforcement, the boss Cuban called him suddenly and told him to send someone to the airport tomorrow to pick up a trial player from China, and told him clearly that the players who came to the trial training were very good and must To get the team's commitment to keep this person.

Little Nelson also quickly inquired about the relevant information. He didn't know the characteristics of the person recommended by the boss. After all, he was recommended by the boss, so he had to take it seriously.

As a result, I was surprised when I saw it, and I did find relevant information on the NBA draft registration website.It should be someone who has just made up for a short time.

But there is no useful information at all, not even a physical test. The information is very simple, just showing that he was a football goalkeeper before.

He became a basketball player this year, and he didn't have any related professional competitions. Even Nelson Jr. wondered if there was something wrong with the website and didn't refresh the relevant information. He didn't believe that the NBA's official registration website would include such simple information as applicants.

If little Nelson knew that when Wang Dachun was shooting the ball, people were chasing the ball, and he didn't even know what the official NBA registration website was, he would probably be even more dumbfounded.

Although nothing useful was found.But after all, it was something the boss explained. The boss said that the other party would arrive the next day, so he should already be on the way.He also planned to take a look first, so he agreed to send the team's scouts to William Road Airport to pick up Wang Dachun.

After William received this notice, he knew that the other party should be coming to the United States for the first time, and the first stop was Dallas, so he did not accept the invitation for trial training from other teams.

Moreover, the general manager personally ordered him, thinking that Wang Dachun would be a very good guy, and that he might be another Chinese Yao.

Because my wife is Chinese, she was very enthusiastic when receiving Wang Dachun.

After getting in touch with him, I found that Wang Dachun seems to be a very shy guy. It may be the first time he has come to a foreign country, and at the same time he is very restrained because he is not accompanied by anyone.He took the initiative to chat with Wang Dachun.

William started to introduce the team along the way, telling Wang Dachun that the team is very good now. Last year, it just attracted Jason Kidd. He is the best point guard in the league.

In his eyes, Kidd is the best guard in the league, not one of them.

There is also the team's ace player Nowitzki, whose offensive skills are basically unsolvable.After a season of running-in, the team will be the favorite to win the championship this season with the addition of Dampier Josh Howard, Jason Terry and other very strong offensive players.

Wang Dachun listened carefully, of course Jason Kidd knew it.He probably knew about Nowitzki, but he really didn't know about the others, even though he had made up a lot during this time.I barely know the head players and all-star players of some teams.

The more William talked about Wang Dachun, the more empty he felt, after all, he is really a super rookie.It must be considered a scumbag in the American professional league.

He heard that there are 400 best basketball players in the world in the American Professional League. He estimated that it would be difficult for him to enter the 400 in his county, let alone the highest league in the world.

In addition, his oral expression skills are really not very good. Even if William speaks Chinese, it is difficult for him to organize a good language chat with the other party, so William has been talking all the way, and Wang Dachun nodded and listened.

Of course, he didn't understand many of them, and he reached his destination after chatting along the way.

...

American Airlines Center Arena.

Wang Dachun stood in front of the gymnasium, looking at the huge building.A burst of surprise!
William told him that the arena was owned by Cuban in 2000.After purchasing the Mavericks for 2.8 million, a new arena will be built, and the entire arena can accommodate 19200 people.

Wang Dachun made up his mind and imagined that there were nearly 2 people.What kind of scene is it like watching a stadium game.

There was no excitement in his heart, but more fear.At this moment, Wang Dachun had some urge to go home instead. For him, the situation he would face in the future might be too big. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold, but he knew that he had no way out and could only fight forward.

At this time, William next to him said:

"If you play here in the future, it must be a great feeling! Let's go, the general manager is waiting for you."

Speaking of entering the arena, Wang Dachun also took a deep breath, and followed William into the arena.
