NBA World Mall

The Mavericks' lineup this year should not be too extravagant. Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Stackhouse, Devin Harris, Dampier, this lineup has been blacked out by opponents, unless Li Tuanjie will be able to have the star-level strength this season, otherwise it would be too difficult, too difficult to change the trajectory of history!

...

"I can only take one step at a time. Let's try to improve my strength first. Maybe if I perform supernormally by then, the wings of my little butterfly can fan the direction of history!" Li Tuanhe thought to himself.

...

In addition to these major events, Li Tuan also knew the future direction of basketball from Bennett's description.

Small ball tactics!

In fact, not only in the 2006-07 season, but in the previous two seasons, small ball tactics have been frequently mentioned, and the chances of appearing in various news are very high!

If we really want to talk about the timing of the rise of the small ball, it should actually be in the 04-05 season. The Phoenix Suns, who were still a big team in the 03-04 season, jumped to the top of the Western Conference record list in the second season!

From here, we can also see the power of small ball tactics!

However, since the Suns have never won the championship, they didn't even make it to the finals, and they were beaten 4:1 by the defensive Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, so although the small ball tactics were recognized, they did not become the league. mainstream tactics.

Defense wins the championship, which is still the truth recognized by the league!

However, Li Tuanjie learned from Bennett that basketball in later generations has gradually moved closer to small balls, and small ball tactics have become mainstream tactics!

"It seems that I chose to become a shooting power forward, which is a good choice. The last few seasons have been the time when small balls have risen. I believe that if I can show excellent shooting ability, I will definitely get more for me. Playing time!" Li Tuanjie was a little thankful, fortunately, he did not develop in the direction of a coolie blue-collar power forward at the basket...

Coolie power forwards pay attention to defense and rebounds. Speaking of which, the initial position of power forwards is coolies. Protecting the basket and grabbing rebounds is their job!

The appearance of Nowitzki can be said to have given the power forwards another way out!

It turns out that power forwards can also shoot from the outside!

...

On October 5th, the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas ushered in the first game of the season!

In the preseason opener, the Dallas Mavericks host the Houston Rockets!

NBA fans who have been waiting for several months finally have another chance to feast their eyes, and the tickets have already been sold out!

Because the tickets for the preseason games are generally cheaper than the tickets for the main game, there are extremely many fans watching the game on the spot.

Not only Texas fans are paying attention to this civil war of their local team, but Chinese fans are also very interested in this game!

For a long time, domestic fans have known that a mentally ill patient in China has gone to play in the NBA, but they don't know the specific strength of Li Tuanjie. They have not seen Li Tuanjie's performance on the court.

Some fans even heard that the Mavericks spent a lot of money to get Li Tuanjie from the Jazz, and they all said that Cuban was taken advantage of...

These fans are not optimistic about Li Tuanjie's development in the NBA. After all, Li Tuanjie's physical fitness is there. In the NBA, a league full of abnormal players, he has no advantage at all!

...

The opening game of this preseason game was broadcast live by CCTV 5 in China. Of course, the purpose of their live broadcast was definitely not for Li Tuanjie, but for Yao Ming, who is currently in the NBA!

In addition to live TV broadcasts, live broadcasts on the Internet have not yet become popular at this time, and most fans watch the text live broadcasts in the live broadcast room.

At this point in time, China’s internet speed is very impressive. If the download speed can reach 200KB, it is considered the speed of light, and some relatively backward places still use traffic billing or meter billing. Even some PC-side games, In fact, most of them are installed with CDs. It is unrealistic to download a slightly larger game without more than ten hours, so there is no condition for watching live online videos. This situation was not available until one or two years later. ease……

(2006-07 should be regarded as the rapid development period of China's Internet. The previous Internet speed was very bad, and it gradually increased after 2007. I remember that the fastest Internet speed in my university was 4M in 2007. If I am lucky, the download speed can reach 500K per second)

At present, many fans have gathered in the text live broadcast room of a certain platform. Although the live video cannot be seen, knowing the dynamics of the two teams can at least satisfy their hunger.

...

"Unity, let's go, let's go to the court to warm up and find the touch!" Seeing Li Tuanjie sitting on the bench, Nowitzki patted Li Tuanjie on the shoulder and said.

After getting along for more than two months, Nowitzki has a good impression of Li Tuanjie. Although Li Tuanjie has various shortcomings now, his training attitude is extremely hard, which Nowitzki appreciates very much!

Under Nowitzki's care, Li Tuanjie didn't even enjoy the "special care" that rookies helped veterans buy drinks and burgers...

Following Dirk Nowitzki, Li Tuanjie did a few sets of mid-range shooting training to find out his shooting touch. He didn't know how long coach Johnson would give him in this preseason game, or even whether he would He doesn't even know he's playing, the only thing he can do is to adjust his state and be ready to fight at any time!

...

"Li Tuanjie, haha!" Li Tuanjie, who was training, heard someone calling him in Mandarin, so he knew it must be Yao Ming without guessing.

"Brother Yao! Haha, thank you Brother Yao last time. I have time to treat Brother Yao to dinner!" Li Tuan was all smiles. It was very kind to see his compatriots in this foreign country.

"How can I let you treat me, haha, when you come to Houston to play in the future, I will invite you to my Yao restaurant for dinner!"

"Congratulations, Tuanjie, you are now a real NBA player, work hard, you will have a bright future!" Yao Ming patted Li Tuanjie on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

"By the way, the NBA's promotional slogan in China this time is the Chinese Derby. You guys have to work hard for a while, don't let domestic trolls find opportunities to troll people, haha!"

"Well, I must work hard!" Li Tuanjie nodded firmly. Although this is only a preseason game, it is of great significance to Li Tuanjie. He needs this game to prove himself!

"However, don't put too much pressure on yourself, try to relax, you must know that this is just a preseason game, enjoy the fun of the game..." Yao Ming said with a smile.

...

After the players of the two teams finished warming up, they returned to their respective locker rooms, and then it was time for the fans to enter the field, and the players also had to listen to the coaches' pre-match arrangements in the locker room.

Li Tuanjie sat in the Mavericks home locker room, feeling a little bit of anticipation, and wondered if coach Johnson would arrange time for him to play.
