401. A life that gives up efforts will be meaningless (Part 2)

"Crooked?" Sun Ce was very angry! Why target him alone!

"Luwai!"

Sun Ce's anger was ineffective, and coach Hollins finally showed his domineering side as a head coach!

A season has passed, and Sun Ce’s habits, teammates and coaching staff are all understood.

This guy, when it comes to money, is not to say that he is reluctant to spend money. He still has to spend what he needs to spend. It is said that he transfers more than 70,000 US dollars in cosmetics expenses to his mother every month.

Although this is not uncommon in the NBA, not every player will give their parents too much money.

After all, Americans are very independent. Children borrow money from their parents, and parents borrow money from their children when they grow up. Borrowing and repaying is the living habit of most people in the United States.

But Sun Ce is very stingy about small things and cannot bear to lose money. Everyone can see this...

In order to prevent Sun Ce from causing trouble during the playoffs, coach Hollins came up with this method. The punishment is not heavy. It may be light in the eyes of many players, but it is extremely effective for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce looked at the back of Coach Hollins leaving and felt that his character was being questioned!

As for this?

Isn't it just a little thing that happens occasionally? Is it worth doing this?

But I have to say that this trick... is really useful for Sun Ce...

Since he is not allowed to go anywhere else, Sun Ce can just train honestly.

Originally, Sun Ce had no intention of causing trouble. Things just came to him on their own, and he was helpless!

He felt that he had always been an innocent, kind-hearted and good person with a pure heart, so how could he go out to find trouble for nothing.

After playing two playoff games, Sun Ce learned a lot.

It was a test to change his playing style into a supporting role, but he did a good job. He grasped the timing of the cut well, fell into the low position more often, and used his height advantage more effectively.

Sun Ce is still a little envious of Gasol's high-post passing skills. If he can practice the mid-range shot, it will be very useful to organize attacks in that area. Sun Ce himself has a height advantage against most defenders. He feels that he

The areas that can be improved in terms of organization of offense are mainly in terms of positional warfare. The high post support one step beyond the free throw line can be learned from Gasol.

Low-post skills need to be improved. The low-post back turn that Randolph learned can be trained in the summer. If he can become as proficient as Nash and Curry in layups, the turning hook on the right edge of the three-second zone will be better.

Destructive...

Looking back on what he did well and what he didn't do well or didn't know how to do, Sun Ce started training...



Just as Sun Ce was improving himself step by step, the Mavericks came to Memphis on the afternoon of the 22nd.

People in the media... seize the opportunity to hype whatever is hot and how to spark heated discussions and increase traffic.

Media across the country are talking about how soft the Mavericks are. For the Mavericks, they have long been used to it in the past few years and don't care that much.

But the local reporters in Dallas were all chasing the Mavericks players, squatting outside the arena to take pictures, and the Mavericks players would stick their butts out, and they could all find points where they could criticize the Mavericks.

Losing is the original sin!

Even if the team in their own city loses, the media will always criticize them. What's more, the Mavericks have been miserable in the playoffs since 2007. They missed the first round twice and finally made it to the second round last season.

They were defeated without any resistance at 1-4, and now even the local fans in Dallas are criticizing them.

A championship can bring a qualitative change to a superstar's historical status, and Nowitzki is still in the process of qualitative change.

However, the Mavericks have become accustomed to it. After being beaten eight times in 2007 and being beaten by the Hornets in the first round in 2008, they began to be criticized by local fans. In the past two years, they have been in the playoffs and they seemed to run away immediately after playing at home.

Leave Dallas and immediately run to the away game.

After all, in the past two years, we have lost more at home than won, and we haven't won much on the road... either.

When Nowitzki arrived in Memphis, he went to an opera house to listen to an opera performance that had been booked for a long time.

After the playoff opponent was determined, he booked the opera house that Gasol had recommended to him. As a European, everyone's hobbies are similar to football, tennis, and listening to music.

Nowitzki regrets growing so tall. He practiced tennis when he was a child!

And in 1990, at the age of 12, he defeated a group of opponents aged 14 or 15 and won the German Youth Tennis Championship.

At that time, he didn't quite understand that his height of 12 years and 180 centimeters not only allowed him to dominate the tennis court early, but also meant that he was destined to be unable to pursue tennis in the future. At the age of 13 years and 6 months, he took the school physical examination.

I discovered that I was 190 centimeters tall. Because of my excellent athletic ability, I was forced to play basketball for the Würzburg Youth Team in the German Second Division...

Don't doubt that a center who looks the bulkiest in the NBA can excel in low-level games. For example, when Kendrick Perkins played in the Drew League, the street ball players called him daddy...

This career path changes so quickly, from a tennis champion at the age of 12 to a professional basketball player at the age of 13...

Listening to the opera, Nowitzki thought about his inexplicable and sudden change in his sports career, feeling a little disappointed.

Apart from championships, Nowitzki has had everything in his career.

First team, mvp, all-star... these three awards, as long as they win all three awards once, it will be a perfect career for most players.

Nowitzki recalled that everything went smoothly from the time he switched to basketball until April 16, 2006.

But losing to the Warriors in the last regular season game on April 16th became a huge turning point in his career.

Since then, his evaluation among the media and fans has changed from "the best non-American basketball player in the world" to "a playoff softie".

Until now, I have still not been able to overcome that hurdle. Even against the Knicks, I could lose by 28 points, which is simply a shame.

After this season, Nowitzki has the opportunity to opt out of his contract and earn a salary of more than 21 million next season... He doesn't care that much, he has already started planning for the future.

This year's playoffs are another setback in life for Nowitzki.

It's completely like reenacting the 2007 playoffs... This is really unbearable pain for Nowitzki!

Just when Nowitzki was hesitant and confused, the voice of an opera singer on the stage came to Nowitzki's ears...

"Oh, Ronald, are you about to give up?

You only live once, wouldn't you regret giving up like this?

40 years old? What 40 years old! You have to give up because of this?
