I'm really good at shooting.

Most people use it as a storage room, but Sun Hao directly transformed it into his trophy vault.

……

The NBA game continues.

Not long after the announcement of the All-Star debut, the league also announced the ownership of the major awards in January.

The head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, was successfully elected as the best coach of the month by virtue of the team's record of 11 wins and 2 losses.

However, the best player of the month was won by Tracy McGrady of the Magic.

魔术队1月的战绩10胜3负，麦迪场均能够得到29.3分7.6篮板4.6助攻1.7助攻1.1盖帽，投篮命中率高达50%。

Just like the state he showed with the Mavericks before, Tracy McGrady is rapidly rising as a rising star.

The four major shooting guards that Su Qun mentioned are likely to go directly to the top five shooting guards in the future.

As we all know, there are five of the four major shooting guards.

The best rookie of the month was picked by Sun Hao without any suspense.

It is worth mentioning that this is the third consecutive month that he has won the Rookie of the Month award.

As the No. 24 show, Sun Hao made a lot of media experts lose face.

In hindsight, if they knew that Sun Hao could perform like this, they should have regarded him as Iverson and directly selected him with the No. [-] pick!

There is no harm without comparison, and the intestines of the first 23 teams are probably going to regret it.

At this time, a senior basketball manager named Klaus walked by silently, and handed you a look full of resentment.

But after entering February, the Mavericks' schedule has become tough again.

In the first game after the league announced the major awards, the Mavericks will sit at home and usher in another derby battle with the Spurs.

According to the NBA's schedule, teams in the same district will play against each other four times a season. This is the third time the two teams have played against each other this season.

The Mavericks lost the previous two games.

The Spurs can be said to be the sufferer of the Mavericks.

And in the last match, the Mavericks lost by 11 points, and they were beaten completely without temper.

More importantly, starting with the loss to the Spurs, they fell into a wave of struggling performances in December.

Now it's a difficult February schedule, and it's a similar hurdle again.

The word "bitter master" is worthy of the name.

But this is Texas.

In the years to come, the Spurs are old, the Mavericks are weak, and Houston is strong, which will be the famous Texas three illusions.

But any team that goes to Texas for an away game will have to be peeled off if they don't die.

The Texas Civil War, of course, needless to say.

And because of the short distance, you can basically get there by land transportation such as a bus, which has been compared to a life-and-death battle with bayonets and dry roads.

Old Nelson also attached great importance to this game.

In fact, in this era, offensive coaches and defensive coaches are always on opposite sides.

And the number of defensive coaches far exceeds that of offensive coaches. Larry Brown of the 76ers and Popovich of the Spurs are representatives of them.

On the morning of the game day, the Spurs, who arrived in Dallas one day earlier, were training in the training hall.

Two hours of training, the front one is semi-closed, and the last half hour is open to the public.

Many local reporters from Dallas also came to the scene.

The reporter asked a lot of questions about the game, but Popovich was evasive and answered irrelevant questions.

This is also Popovich's usual trick.

Of course, don't compare him in his early 50s with the future him in his 60s.

At this time, he was decisive and ruthless, but he would not do such boring things as poisonous milk.

The reporter could not ask about the game, but could only ask some off-court questions.

For example, Duncan was selected as an All-Star.

"Tim deserves more votes, he's without a doubt the best big man in the league."

Popovich is complaining for his disciples, because even in the forward vote, Duncan lost to the Kings' Chris Webber.

"What do you think of the matchup between Duncan and Nowitzki tonight, who got very close to Tim in the All-Star voting."

The reporter then asked questions.

But Popovich smiled contemptuously and didn't answer the question directly.

Obviously, he didn't think it was necessary to answer this kind of question.

"Who do you think Duncan and Nowitzki will have an advantage over?"

The reporter thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated the question again.

"Why do you ask the question of who has the upper hand when a lion and an antelope meet?"

Popovich asked a rhetorical question, leaving the reporter speechless.

"Maybe the antelopes will prevail, and if there are enough of them, the lions will be overwhelmed."

Seeing that the reporter had nothing to say, he showed off his ability to make cold jokes again.

Some other reporters were amused, but the meaning behind this cold joke is self-evident.

"What do you think of Sun being elected as the All-Star vote leader?"

The reporter asked questions about Sun Hao again.

"That's fine."

What the reporter didn't expect was that Popovich spoke well this time.

But soon, the reporter found that he was still too young.

"Don't try to trick me, I don't want to receive a ticket from the league."

Another Popovich-esque sneer, but one that made his position very clear.

Whether it is Nowitzki or Sun Hao, such votes are meaningless to him.

……

"He really said that?"

The Mavericks' training was scheduled for the afternoon, and when the reporter conveyed Popovich's answer to Old Nelson, Old Nelson's expression was extremely ugly.

He can't tolerate others slandering his players.

"That's nonsense, and at night he'll know who's the lion and who's the antelope!"

Old Nelson is not as "smart" as Popovich, he said he should be more direct.

When he returned to the locker room after the interview, he closed the door directly.

"Popovich said we are a herd of antelopes, are you willing to be antelopes?"

Blowing his beard and staring, Old Nelson didn't have a beard, but he showed that extremely angry expression to the fullest.

Needless to say, the reaction from the Mavericks was a shake of the head, as well as anger.

Who would want to be an antelope!

"I don't care how you play the next game, but tonight against the Spurs, you must go all out!"

Old Nelson was really furious.

The team members also responded one after another.

Texas Civil War, they are not afraid!

"Sun, do you think Popovich did this on purpose?"

After old Nelson left, Nash came over and said.

Since solving the problem of the ball possession between the two, Nash has become Sun Hao's "confidant in the boudoir".

Of course, Nash is still very smart and sharp.

"Who knows? But the antelope kicks very hard."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

Nash will soon agree.

"Then let's kick their asses hard!"

Sun Hao nodded.

To be honest, the current Popovich is very different from the Popovich in his impression.

So he didn't know if Popovich said those words just to express his own personal thoughts, or to anger old Nelson.

If it's the latter, he's clearly succeeded.

Then let Popovich feel the anger of their group of "antelopes"!

……

That night, the arena at the American Airlines Center was full of attendance.

The Mavericks had an excellent record in January, coupled with Cuban's continuous reduction of ticket prices, and various ways to stimulate the ball market.

Cuban himself, also wearing his favorite blue calf T-shirt on the sidelines, came to the home court to cheer for the team like usual home games.

Now in Dallas, the ball market seems to be thriving.

Sun Hao also saw more Chinese fans who came to support him.

Gu Yi has already started to promote the construction of Chinatown, coupled with Sun Hao's outstanding performance on the field in the past.

The two complement each other, and the Chinese market in Dallas is developing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When warming up before the game, Sun Haoduo glanced at the Spurs.

This Spurs team is still a two-tower lineup, and the style of play focuses on defense.

Especially inside defense, impenetrable.

This may be why Popovich is so confident.

Except for bugs like O'Neal, there really is no insider who can take advantage of the Spurs.

But in fact, the Spurs' defense has not reached their peak.

The biggest reason is because Bowen, the top forward defender is still watching beach beauties in Miami!

The Spurs without Bowen met him after the badge broke out.

This is destined to be a beautiful "encounter".

Chapter 151 He Can't Guard Me, Change Someone!

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

For the Spurs, Terry Porter and Derek Anderson on the outside, Sean Elliott on the small forward, Duncan and David Robinson on the inside.

On the Mavericks side, there are still the regular five tigers of Nash, Sun Hao, Finley, Nowitzki and Laettner.

The game was about to start, at this moment, Eisley pulled Sun Hao to say something.

The general content is that there is a kind of antelope called black horse antelope, because of its long horns, it is not afraid of lions or tigers.

Sun Hao probably knew what he meant, it was to encourage him not to be afraid because he lost the previous two games.

It is impossible to be afraid, but after listening to it, he felt that he would have a chance in the future, so he could tell Nowitzki about it.

After all, King Silver Horn was born with horns.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Duncan turned the ball back to the Spurs' half, officially kicking off the game.
