As soon as he arrived in Dallas, Adelman received a call from Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, saying that he wanted to meet before the game.

Adelman has a very good relationship with Carlisle. In the 1990s, Adelman joined the Trail Blazers just after leaving the Trail Blazers, becoming the assistant coach under the new head coach Carlesimo. The two have been in close contact over the years.

Carlisle is an academic coach with real talents and knowledge. He has extremely strong coaching skills. If he hadn't been unlucky in his coaching career, he would have more than two championship rings in his hand.

A ring was a ring he followed Green Kai to get to a ring when he was a player in the 1980s.

Carlisle was Green Kai at that time, and was similar to Sun Yue in the Lakers. She was both a serious water dispenser guardian. However, after Carlisle entered the coaching industry, she shone brightly.

After experiencing the Pistons, Pacers, and until now, Carlisle finally settled down and even led the team to defeat the Heat in 11 years, completing a championship that was enough to be recorded in history.

Nowitzki is naturally a hero for the Mavericks' champion, but in fact Carlisle also played an extremely important role in it. It can be said that if it were other coaches, it would be more than 90% possible that such a feat would not be able to be achieved, even if it was Phil Jackson or Popovich.

Yi Dun knew not much about NBA coaches. After learning about Carlisle, he only felt that Carlisle's coaching ability was simply outrageous.

"Yidun, Rick said he wanted the two teams to meet before the game. Coach Rick and I have met each other for some days. "Adelman asked Yidun's opinion. As a veteran coach, he didn't need to do this, but in order to show his importance to Yidun, he still wants to hear Yidun's opinion.

Yi Dun nodded, "See you, I just happen to want to talk to them."

Yi Dun is extremely interested in some of the Mavericks players. There are many legendary players in this team.

What interested Yidun the most was not the Mavericks' soul Nowitzki, but Vince Carter nicknamed half-man and half-god.

In the afternoon of the same day, the coaching staff of the two teams and the players ran into their heads at the Mavericks' training ground.

Yi Dun is naturally the focus of the Mavericks' players' attention. There are no members of the Dream Ten team in their team, so no one has ever played with Yi Dun. However, looking at Yi Dun's performance in the Olympics and the match against the Kings two days ago, the Mavericks can naturally clearly feel Yi Dun's horror.

Especially Nowitzki, after seeing Yi Dun, his eyes were straight, as if he had seen a hungry ghost in the beauty's beauty.

This kind of bare eyes made Yi Dun's scalp numb.

Nowitzki is naturally not a hungry ghost in sex, on the contrary, he is an extremely infatuated person. He has never heard of any scandals Nowitzki has had. He is considered a rare good man in the NBA.

Now Nowitzki stared at Yi Dun with such hunger eyes, nothing more than his desire for a teammate like Yi Dun in his heart.

After winning the championship in 11 years, Nowitzki is preparing to show his strength, let the team sign and strengthen, and then strive for another championship or even two to help the Mavericks become a dynasty team.

But the team's boss Cuban did something that made Nowitzki suffer at this time. Cuban had no intention of strengthening it. Not only did he not make the lineup stronger, he was even weaker.

During the offseason, the Mavericks only introduced two players - Yi Jianlian and Delonti West!

Even if we introduce Deronti West, according to the speculation of some American trail media, it is definitely not for strengthening, but for disgusting James...

In the 2011 finals, Wade and James imitated Nowitzki's coughing, mocking Nowitzki's coughing incident, but they made the Mavericks very angry. With the Mavericks' boss Cuban's vindictive nature, he invited the protagonist of "Youma Sect" to disgust James. He could do this.

Originally, Nowitzki and Cuban were as close as brothers, but because of the reinforcement, Nowitzki was very unhappy and even had the idea of ​​leaving the Mavericks.

Nowitzki doesn't want any player who can disgust James, he wants strong players who can help him continue to win the championship.

There is no doubt that Yi Dun is the best candidate.

In the previous game between the Timberwolves and the Kings, Nowitzki saw it from the beginning and was stunned.

It is hard for him to believe that there are such powerful players in the world. If such a player comes to the Mavericks, how many championships can he win?

Not one, not two, but three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

Unfortunately, Yi Dun has signed a four-year contract with the Timberwolves. Unless the Mavericks trade with the Timberwolves, there is no possibility of Yi Dun getting it.

Trade Yi Dun with the Timberwolves? Selling all the Mavericks is not enough to buy half Yi Dun...

There are really no valuable players in the Mavericks nowadays. The old ones are old and the weak ones are weak. Although they are not very famous, the transaction value is not very high.

For example, Vince Carter, who is very interested in Yidun, is naturally well-known, but in the trading market, veteran Carter, who averages about 10 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, can there be any trading value?

There are also Jet Terry, Hacker Marion, Lama Odom, and Old Demon Kid. These people are all very famous, but they are all old and have no transaction value.

Even if Nowitzki is added, the Timberwolves will definitely not consider making such a deal with the Mavericks.

Thinking of this, Nowitzki sighed deeply, regretting why he didn't get in touch with Yi Dun earlier. If he had contacted him earlier, maybe Yi Dun would be their Mavericks now.

After meeting with Carlisle, Adelman gave a hug, and then Carlisle focused on Yi Dun.

"I'm glad to meet you, Yidun, your preseason debut is perfect in perfection. I'm very happy for Coach Adelman. You are the player that any coach dreams of." Carlisle said sincerely.

Yi Jianlian smiled and translated. He played under Carlisle last season and still had some understanding of Carlisle.

Although Carlisle is gentle and elegant, her temper is just a stone in the pit, which is smelly and hard. It is really not easy for Yidun to get Carlisle's evaluation now.

"Hello, Coach Carlisle, I'm glad to meet you." Yi Dun responded politely.

Next, the Mavericks' old guys surrounded them, and they were full of curiosity about Yi Dun.

Vince Carter stepped forward and smiled and touched Yidun's arm. "What a strong young man. If I were still young, I would definitely want to have a few moves with you today."

"Yidun, I've watched your game, what do you say? If I had worked with a player like you at the beginning of my career, maybe my assists in my current career may have doubled!" The old demon Kidd also smiled kindly.

Several veterans surrounded Yi Dun and praised him in various ways. They were no longer competitive at this age. If they were young, they would probably not be able to say such numb words.

Yi Jianlian felt very uncomfortable. He had never enjoyed such treatment in the Mavericks last season.

In fact, Yi Jianlian knew very well that the purpose of Cuban signing his contract at that time was nothing more than a sight to China's vast market.

Cuban wanted to gamble on Yi Jianlian. If Yi Jianlian played it in the Mavericks, the Mavericks could get countless benefits. If they couldn't play it, there would be no loss. After all, Yi Jianlian's salary was very low.

(Cuban indeed attaches great importance to the Chinese market, otherwise he would not have changed the Chinese team name of the Mavericks...)

"Yi, I haven't seen you some days, are you doing well recently?" Nowitzki did not say hello to Yi Dun, but instead greeted Yi Jianlian directly.

When Yi Jianlian introduced the Mavericks, he also had the idea of ​​becoming Nowitzki's chief substitute. After all, the two of them still have certain similarities in their styles, so Nowitzki naturally cannot be unfamiliar with Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian nodded, "It's pretty good. I haven't seen you for a while. Dirk, your condition is still so good."

"I'm old, don't mention any state. It's time to hand over the team to the young people."

"Yi, contact us more when you are fine, don't be so shy. After the game is over, I will treat you to a meal." Nowitzki smiled gently.

Yi Jianlian smiled bitterly in his heart. How much does it usually contact? He does have Nowitzki's phone number, but why is he so embarrassed to contact Nowitzki for no reason...

Yi Jianlian could generally hear the purpose of Nowitzki's words. Eighty percent of them wanted to establish a relationship with Yi Dun and try to introduce Yi Dun to the Mavericks.

Just as Yi Jianlian thought, Nowitzki really had this idea. It is rare to have an acquaintance of Yi Jianlian. As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water. Nowitzki feels that he needs to take some action.

Although Yi Dun has a contract with the Timberwolves now, who can say the future is better? Maybe Yi Dun won’t want to stay in the Timberwolves then?

Although Texas is not a good place, it is still more livable than Minnesota...

If Yi Dun and the Timberwolves break up and have an irreconcilable quarrel, Yi Dun will just quit. The only thing the Timberwolves can do is sell Yi Dun and recover the losses as much as possible. Wouldn't the Mavericks have a chance at that time?

After the players from both sides exchanged greetings, they started chatting in groups of three or five. Yi Dun brought Sun Yue to Carter and wanted to have a good chat with the legendary buckle.

Carlisle and Adelman were sitting in the corner of the training ground, talking in unison.

"Old Rick, I congratulate you first. Your chances of winning the championship this season are very high." Carlisle looked at Yi Dun not far away, his voice full of envy.

"Rick, do you really think there is still a chance of winning the championship? Isn't it a foolproof thing for us to win the championship?" Adelman said confidently.

Although the two have different surnames, they have the same name, and both are called RICK.

Carlisle actually covets Yi Dun in his heart. As the saying goes, a good wife cannot cook without rice. His coaching ability is indeed strong, but now the Mavericks' lineup, even if they have a fairy coach, it is difficult for them to lead the team to win the championship.

Carlisle, who has tasted the wonderful taste of winning the championship, dreams that his team has a player like Yidun.

Although he is Adelman's junior, he is actually not young anymore, but he is over fifty years old, so he naturally thinks that he can win a few more championship trophys before the end of his coaching career.

"Sorry, Old Rick, I'm wrong. There is indeed no chance of winning the championship. This championship trophy is yours."

"You are not young now. Do you have a retirement plan?" Carlisle asked an extremely weird question.

Adelman nodded, "Actually, I planned to retire in the first season of coaching the Timberwolves, but now that we have got Yidun, I think I might stay for a few more years to make up for all the championships I have missed."

"Little Rick, I know what you are thinking. Are you thinking of poaching Yi Dun after I retire?"

"To be honest, my old guys called me after we finished the King's game, asked the same questions, and all had the same ideas."

"Everyone was thinking that I could retire quickly, and then they could find a way to poach Yidun." Adelman laughed.

Carlisle's face was bitter. Unexpectedly, those old guys started so quickly. It seemed that he had little hope.

Originally, he wanted to use his relationship with Adelman to retire in the past two years and ask Adelman to introduce him to him, perhaps he could dig Yi Dun to the Mavericks.

After all, no matter what aspect the Mavericks look at, they are much better than the Timberwolves.

The Mavericks' lineup is too old. After Yi Dun comes, he can completely rebuild according to Yi Dun's idea. This is a temptation for any player. Carlisle is confident that he can dig up Yi Dun with the recommendation of Adelman.

There are three NBA teams in Texas, namely the Spurs, Mavericks and Rockets. There were three major illusions in the NBA before, that is, the Spurs are very old, the Mavericks are very weak, and the Rockets are very strong.

Now it seems that whether the calf is weak or not is not. They are old enough anyway...

Although the Mavericks can still maintain a winning rate of more than 50%, it is undoubtedly a dream to win the championship. If such a ghost lineup can still win the championship, it can directly send Nowitzki and Carlisle to the altar.

Since there is no hope of winning the championship and the players are extremely aging, reconstruction is the best choice for the Mavericks, and Yi Dun is undoubtedly the best cornerstone for reconstruction.
