Smith and Johnson nodded unconsciously, and this made some sense.

This is also the reason why the Mavericks and Spurs competed for each other in the last game of the regular season.

No one wants to meet the tough trick of the Trail Blazers in the first round.

If you are lucky, you will have to peel off the skin. If you are not lucky, you may be fucked directly.

"So you think the Mavericks can't win?"

Kenny Smith asked Barkley with a smile.

If there is metaphysics, Barkley is a bit in conflict with the Mavericks this season.

As long as Barkley is not optimistic, the Mavericks can always surprise them.

“Yes, they will be swept.”

Barkley was also quite cooperative.

Smith and Johnson couldn't help laughing again after hearing this.

They suddenly felt that the Mavericks were stable in the first round.

...

The next night, the Dallas National Flight Center was full.

Boss Cuban took the lead, and the scene was filled with a blue ocean.

The enthusiasm of the cowboys was vividly revealed on their faces.

When the Mavericks members entered the field, the scene was in an instant.

The last time the team entered the playoffs was still the season!

After 11 years, they finally came back in the playoffs!

Not only did they come back, but they are also second in the West and have a home advantage!

Of course, the happiest one is Cuban.

The second year he took over the team, the team entered the playoffs, and the team's core teams were younger than the other and had a bright future.

The warm-up started soon, and the Mavericks members looked a little tight.

Barkley said one thing very well, this Mavericks lacked experience in the playoffs.

Among the five, Nash had the most experience in the playoffs, but he only played for two years, and he was a substitute for soy sauce throughout the game.

Uncle Huo Er had a lot of experience in the playoffs, and he was killed after playing three games.

The remaining Nowitzki, Finley, and Sun Hao all have zero experience in the playoffs.

Not only five main players, but among the rotation players, only Kukoc and Esley are more experienced.

It is not normal for such a team to be nervous.

In contrast, the Trail Blazers seem much calmer, talking and laughing, but at first glance they are a group of old fry.

The warm-up was about to end, and a reporter interviewed Rashid Wallace of the Trail Blazers.

"Did Kemp's absence and Bunch Wells' injury have a big impact on the team?"

The reporter spoke sharply, and he was obviously trying to make trouble.

"There are many people who can play in our team, and no matter who is absent, there is someone who can take the lead."

Wallace looked so angry, but his emotional intelligence was also good.

"The Trail Blazers only ranked seventh in the West in the end, losing their home court advantage, does this have a great impact on the team's morale?"

“We are always fighting spirit.”

Wallace still answered positively, but it was obvious that he was already frowning.

"The Trail Blazers' All-Star record fluctuates significantly after the game. Is there something wrong with the team?"

The reporter caused trouble for three consecutive times.

"We have no problems, and you are the ones who have problems."

This time Wallace directly responded, and his temper was not very good.

“Rashid.”

Fortunately, Pippen was nearby, so he hurriedly pulled Wallace away.

The reporter was obviously provoking trouble. Wallace's violent temper is afraid that he will throw the microphone later.

"Calm down, he just wants to irritate you."

After all, Pippen has experienced it, and he has seen more big scenes. Wallace is still young after all.

And it is not surprising that Wallace asked these questions at the press conference, "Roaring Heavenly Lord" is famous.

"He succeeded."

Wallace turned around and glanced at the Mavericks' halftime, with a ruthless face.

The warm-up was about to end, and Wallace called the Trail Blazers together.

"They feel like we've played a bad season, we're no longer the team that could tie the Lakers last season, we can be at the mercy, tell me, are we?"

Wallace spoke like a lit explosive barrel.

But his words made people excited.

"We're not, we're going to beat these soft guys, we're going to slap people in the face who look down on us, we're going to beat the Lakers, guys, our season is really beginning!"

I have to say that before he fell into a complete rage, Wallace was a very qualified leader.

The reporter in front angered him, but Pippen pushed that anger into control, which seemed to be a good thing.

Sun Hao turned his head and looked at the Trail Blazers' halftime.

He didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Wallace holding his hands up and leading the team to shout slogans with great momentum.

He felt that the game tonight would never be so easy.

After the warm-up, the lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Mavericks' side, Old Nelson still uses a lineup without a center.

Nash and Sun Hao on the outside, Finley and Huo Ershu on the front line, and Nowitzki on the center.

Just like what he told in the locker room yesterday, he wanted to bring the game to the Mavericks' rhythm from the beginning.

On the Trail Blazers, Old Dunleavy uses a regular lineup.

Damon Stoudemire and Steve Smith on the outside, Pippen and Wallace on the front line, and Sabonis in the center.

At the broadcast seat, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were also ready.

The first playoff game of Sun Hao's NBA career is about to start.

To be precise, Wang Zhizhi was also on the team's activation list tonight.

“It’s going to be a tough game.”

As they were far away, Zhang Weiping felt the tense atmosphere on the court.

“Who do you think has a greater chance of that guide?”

Su Qun knocked on the side.

"Of course it's the Mavericks, they are second in the West."

Zhang Weiping looked serious the first second, but the next second he showed that shameless smile.

Su Qun couldn't help but cough.

This is very much Zhang Weiping, and he doesn't have the kind of reasoning to you at all.

However, he was also full of curiosity, not knowing whether the "Zhang Weiping's Law" could be fulfilled again this time.
