Chapter 533: New Season Run-in
On October 10th, the Mavericks began training.
Everyone on the team started to show up.
All the players arrived, and Qin Yang greeted everyone under the leadership of Nowitzki, team owner Cuban, team coach Rick Carlisle and team manager Nelson Jr.
"Hello everyone, I'm Bruce Qin, and I hope to play side by side with you in the new season."
After Qin Yang finished speaking, the players cheered.
Qin Yang's status in the team is undoubted, even Nowitzki is willing to be a foil, and others are not qualified to bargain at all.
Who would dare to disagree?
That is to die.
What's more, there are many old acquaintances of Qin Yang in the team, and most of the team are also Qin Yang's former teammates.
After greeting teammates one by one, the team began to warm up and practice tactics.
"Hey, Bruce, I can't imagine I can actually play with you." Al Jefferson didn't have a big temper at all, and he came up first to show goodwill.
Qin Yang greeted happily: "Don't worry, Al, I will pass the ball to you." ”
Vince Carter, Francisco Garcia, and Cosby are all Qin Yang's old teammates, and there is no problem in communication.
Gobert and Seth Curry are both rookies, and Seth Curry was introduced by Qin Yang, and he has a good attitude towards Qin Yang.
The only ones who are qualified to be lackluster against Qin Yang are Nowitzki, Marion and Calderón.
But Nowitzki has a weak temperament and welcomes Qin Yang to join.
Marion followed Nowitzki and was very familiar with Qin Yanghe, so naturally he would not object.
There is only one player who has the biggest opinion on Qin Yang, and that is Calderon.
Calderon is definitely a starter in the league, and if it were any other point guard, Calderon would still be eligible to earn a starter.
But Qin Yang is here, so there is no suspense.
Calderón can only be an honest substitute, which is a bit aggrieved.
So when talking to Qin Yang, Calderon couldn't help but behave very plainly.
But by the time the training match started, Calderón had no problems.
As soon as Qin Yang appeared, he showed superhuman strength, no matter who the outside line matched, Qin Yang played with ease, and it was not a strength at all.
The only one who can limit Qin Yang a little is Francisco Garcia.
But Garcia's speed is too slow, Qin Yang's height is about the same as Garcia, and he can be easily crushed directly in terms of speed, and he can play very easily.
Whoever Qin Yang is opposed, it is not difficult to fight.
And that's a good thing.
But Rick Carlisle frowned.
"Downey, do I think the team needs to make a trade?" Rick Carlisle said.
"Why? The team's lineup doesn't seem to be as bad as it seems. ”
Rick Carlisle nodded: "I know, but we lack an outside defensive player, Bruce can play on the offensive end, but we can't ask him to contribute the same energy on the defensive end, such a lineup, maybe we play well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it will be difficult to play." ”
Offense wins fans, but defense wins championships.
This is true to all.
The Mavericks have been playing well on the offensive end, but Rick Carlisle is not a coach who can't defend, and with a lineup like the Mavericks, there must be problems with defense.
Donnie nodded with a wry smile:
"Now, I'm busy!"
Intra-squad training is followed by pre-season.
Preseason is generally a place for tactical drills within the team, as well as for rookies and role players.
Therefore, in the preseason game of the Mavericks, Qin Yang and Nowitzki did not participate at all.
In this case, the Mavericks played very badly.
Eight games in the preseason and six defeats.
Calderon was qualified as the starting point guard, controlling the tempo and playing a tactical role, but the defensive end was a little too poor, and he was beaten up against the rookies who were eager to perform in the preseason.
And the team's signed Rowe draft pick Seth Curry is even more of a mess.
Chicago Sports News:
"Obviously, the Dallas people want to choose another Stephen Curry, but Seth Curry and Stephen Curry are the same baby face, but the strength is very different, and in a preseason game, Seth Curry's performance was disappointing, and the Mavericks obviously made a bad decision."
ESPN:
"According to sources, Seth Curry was able to enter the Mavericks because of Bruce Qin's recommendation, and it was because of Bruce Qin's recommendation that Mr. Donnie Nelson had to sign him."
Fox News:
"It's certainly a fool's idea to involve the core of the team in player trades, and Dallas will pay for their recklessness."
……
The major media are all out of order, and they don't want Bilian to hack people.
What's even more embarrassing is that someone spoke for Qin Yang at this time.
Isaiah Thomas:
"There's nothing wrong with Bruce Qin's suggestion, I've seen Seth Curry's game, and if they don't want to sign, then the Knicks can do it for them, and Seth will be a standout team and help the team a lot, I have no doubt about that."
Others helped Qin Yang speak, and Qin Yang must be very grateful.
But when Isaiah Thomas spoke, Qin Yang didn't dare to speak.
The smiling assassin was very awesome when he played, and the bad boy army pressed Jordan at the beginning, and Jordan had no temper when he played, but his transaction as the team manager was incomprehensible.
The Knicks are in a big city, paying the luxury tax every year, but rebuilding every year, which is very bad.
As soon as Isaiah Thomas spoke, the other players did not dare to help.
This wave of poisonous milk, Qin Yang was speechless.
But no matter how controversial it is, Donnie Nelson expressed his attitude in an interview: "Bruce did want me to recommend Seth Curry, that's true, but he never told me who is a really good player, we should sign and so on. ”
'I mean, he's going to ask of the team like any core, but at the same time it doesn't interfere with my work, and he's done a really good job of that.
Otis, the former manager of the Magic, also stood up to speak:
"Bruce Chin is the kind of guy that you really want to work with again, and with him you can do your job easier, I mean, he's going to give you a lot of really good advice, whatever you do, it's going to help the team, and whoever you trade for, he's going to do a good job of the team's tactics."
The turmoil gradually subsided.
The 2013-2014 regular season officially began.
On October 30, the Mavericks host the Hawks.
The Hawks and the core of the team, Joe Johnson, hurt each other once, and their strength dropped significantly, but in the offseason, the Hawks also made reinforcements.
The addition of Paul Millsap has strengthened the Eagles' interior strength.
But...... Qin Yang didn't know what his thoughts were, this transaction was really incomprehensible.
The Mavericks starters are also special.
Qin Yang, Nowitzki, Sean Marion, Vince Carter, Thackeray.
That's right, the starting center forward is Thackeray.
