Back in the apartment, Chang Tiancheng received many text messages and phone calls one after another, but the content was probably the same, basically reminding Chang Tiancheng Giannis to go to Dallas.

The thought that Giannis, a perverted monster who is arguably one of the top interior players in the league, is about to join forces with one of the top ball-handling cores in another league, Chang Tiancheng begins to feel a headache.

Fortunately, there is still a long time before the Spurs' next match against the Mavericks, and the Mavericks' lineup can be said to be full of flaws now.

Due to the large number of vital forces sent, the Mavericks now have few players to count on, and the entire team is no different from a team at the bottom of the league except for Giannis and Doncic, who are star-studded.

What's more, although Giannis went to Dallas, who knows if he has the intention of competing with Doncic for the position of the team's leader.

Again, victory can cover up all the problems. Cuban built this lineup in order to allow the two to lead the Mavericks from the mighty West to fight their way out, once their two-person combination does not meet expectations, then the Mavericks will be seriously injured and may not be able to recover for many years.

It's fair to say that Giannis came to Dallas with the vision of winning the title again and further elevating his place in history, and if he doesn't get the results he wants within two years, his departure is almost inevitable.

And Doncic's ability will definitely be greatly questioned at that time. After all, Giannis has already won a championship once, and he is the absolute heart of that Bucks team.

Although it was difficult for fans to think that Giannis was a single-handedly leading team to the championship with the Bucks' extremely high-quality role players at the time, the fact is that Giannis was indeed the only person on that team who could be called a "star".

If he fails to win a championship with such a Giannis partner, then Doncic's reputation will definitely explode.

It's like Durant going to Golden State, and if he fails to win the championship in the end, then not only Durant, but even Curry's ability will be questioned.

The only difference is that Durant, who was actively defecting at the time, did not have a championship ring in his hand, while Curry, who was the star of the Golden State Warriors, has already entered the Finals twice, and has a ring + two MVPs in hand.

But this time it was Giannis who took the initiative to join Doncic's Mavericks as a person who had already won the MVP and the championship, and he had already proven his ability, and the world knew that he had the ability to win the championship, and he didn't need to prove anything.

But as the current boss of the Mavericks, Doncic's position is more awkward at this time. On the one hand, although he has frequently played luxurious statistics in the regular season, he has never won the regular season MVP.

On the other hand, as the absolute core of the Mavericks, although he has a good result of leading the team to the Western Finals with a single core, the world originally recognized his ability to lead the team. But after the Mavericks traded to Irving last season, the Mavericks, who were still at the top of the playoff teams, lost all the way and slipped straight out of the playoffs, which also made Doncic's newly established "strong team" personality once again questioned.

A few years ago, the media was still using words such as "genius", "once in a century", "king of Europe", "ruler of the future alliance" and so on, but now when it comes to him, the first thing that comes to mind is a series of derogatory words such as "hurting teammates", "just focusing on your own data", "can't play side by side with another All-Star teammate in this life" and so on.

Doncic also knows that this cooperation with Giannis is his chance to turn around. As long as he can win the championship with Giannis, then the outside world's evaluation of him will immediately take a 180-degree turn, and Giannis can also get what he wants, which can be said to be a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone.

But the premise of all this is that the Mavericks must lead the two of them to win the championship.

The current Mavericks team has not found a plan with Irving that can make the two work together perfectly, and the record is not good, but it is only ranked 8th in the West.

But with the addition of Giannis, no matter how much the two run in, the pressure to enter the playoffs should not be great, but the two may face the situation of not having other helpers around them in the playoffs.

However, the playoffs are the stage for superstars, and when it comes to the most critical game, it is actually the time to test the star content of a team.

These two in Dallas are not like the George Leonard partner on the Clippers' side, the positions and functions of the two of them almost completely coincide, building a team around the two of them is actually quite a laborious task, and the tactical system is not easy to design, which leads to the Clippers often playing and watching the top small forwards in these two leagues take turns playing each other.

Doncic and Giannis are the perfect combination of one inside and one outside, and it's fairly easy to build a team around them.

It's nothing more than finding an inside center for Giannis to be a meat shield to reduce his consumption of regular season time, and it would be better if this center could pull out and shoot a three-pointer.

Then doncic will be paired with a few reliable outside defenders to make up for Doncic's lack of outside defensive ability and help Doncic wipe his ass on the defensive end. Of course, if these perimeter defenders can still shoot a three-pointer, then the Mavericks will be even more powerful.

But now these have nothing to do with Chang Tiancheng, and the most important thing for Chang Tiancheng at the moment is to change a house for himself.

Although it was getting late, Chang Tiancheng still started wandering the streets of San Antonio for a while.

At this time, although the Spurs fans still support him, they have also understood that it is very intolerable for people like him to have some time of their own, and they will not come forward to disturb, which also makes Chang Tiancheng enjoy a rare leisure time when no one disturbs him.

As he walked, he observed the houses in the neighborhood, hoping to find a more suitable house to move to.

After all, he doesn't need to run to the team's training gym all day to train now, after all, it will hardly help him improve his system skills except for the easy increase in his physical attrition.

Also, as Wembanyama said, he could actually buy another car, so that wherever he wants, at least he doesn't have to borrow someone else's car to drive.
