Chapter 806: Departure and Reinforcement

Discrimination against Chinese Americans is actually very common in the United States, and the impact of discrimination against Chinese people is weaker than that of black people.

In the United States, if someone openly discriminates against black people, it is very serious.

No one would dare to do that, even if they thought so in their hearts.

This situation has even affected many industries in the United States, and many companies have had to hire blacks, and if they don't hire a black person, then the company will be considered discriminatory against blacks.

Later, the influence grew, and every film, every company, every institution, there had to be a black presence.

This is political correctness.

But the cost of discrimination against ethnic Chinese is low.

No one will come out on top.

Qin Yang's appearance this time has caused a huge influence, and both the Chinese media and the American media have given positive comments.

Some media even broke the news that Time Magazine decided to list Qin Yang as one of the top 100 people in the world in 2017.

It's a rare honor.

Time magazine acknowledged this rumor:

"He's the new leader in basketball, the new NBA legend, and his influence isn't just in basketball, more than 80 percent of Americans know him, youth all over the world follow his example, and yellow-skinned people are proud of him. It's a miracle. ”

Qin Yang underestimated his influence.

After taking action for the right to education for Chinese Americans this time, Qin Yang's influence has expanded more and more.

Bruce Qin, become a symbol.

Like Jordan once was.

…………

The offseason has passed quickly, but the Mavericks' reinforcements continue.

After Cousins joined, there was no need for Zach Randolph to stay, and for him, after winning the championship, there was no regret.

Randolph directly chose to retire.

This is followed by Rodney Hood.

Last season, Hood and the team had a lot of contradictions, on the defensive end, Hood did too poorly, was not willful, played big names, and was unwilling to play in garbage time.

It's just hehe.

You must know that other people are fighting for a little playing time, they are fighting hard at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and they don't necessarily get time, and Hood is reluctant to play because the playing time is in garbage time, this kind of player, the problem is too big.

Even though Hood had averaged 10 points per game before and performed well, the Mavericks still hid it directly.

This season, it will not be easy for the Mavericks to trade away Hood, other teams are not even willing to give role players, the Mavericks are now the public enemies of the league, and no one wants to fund the Mavericks.

In the end, the Mavericks traded Hood for a second-round pick for the Jazz next year.

The lack of one person on the outside does not have much impact on the Mavericks, because now the Mavericks can play on the outside, and their strength is not weak.

Relatively speaking, the weakest turned out to be Corey Brewer and Seth Curry.

The former is too poor in attack and too weak in defense in the latter.

These two people have little problem playing as starters on other teams, which shows how strong the Mavericks' lineup is, so the lack of a Hood has no big impact on the Mavericks.

On the contrary, it is Mitchell, who wants to get too many teams.

Even though Mitchell's form was uncertain last season, Mitchell's potential is beyond doubt.

It's no problem to train well and become a superstar.

Many teams were willing to give up chips in exchange, but the Mavericks didn't agree, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't have a good price.

The best that other teams have given is only a draft pick late next year, and I'm totally sorry for Mitchell's potential.

It's a bit silly for the Mavericks to trade Mitchell right now, even if they are trained and traded, it will take another two years.

The Mavericks still have one spot left, which ended up going to Belinelli.

Belinelli is a very suitable role player, shooting well and being suitable for big teams to come to basketball. Belinelli is particularly well-suited to the current small-ball tactics, so there are many potential next players, including the Spurs, who have sent out invitations.

In the end, Belinelli chose to join the Mavericks for 10 million in two years.

"I want to join Dallas because I believe Bruce Qin can lead the team to a championship, and I'm well prepared for a place in the team, even if it's a short time coming, I'm okay with that."

Belinelli has joined, and the Mavericks' reinforcement is over.

And in the offseason trade, the media generally gave the Mavericks an A-grade rating.

"Maybe the Dallas trade in the offseason is not the best trade, but it is the most suitable, and the addition of Cousins is an unknown, but it is gratifying enough, as long as Cousins stays healthy, then the Mavericks will be invincible next season."

"The departure of Kevin Durant may be sad, but it is not a big problem, with Bruce Qin, the Mavericks are still strong, and the addition of Paul George, to a certain extent, makes up for the impact of Durant's departure, and the Mavericks lineup has not changed much, which is crucial for the team."

The Mavericks haven't seen a significant decline in strength in the offseason and will remain the league's favorites for the next two or three years.

Before the start of the season, though, there was controversy.

Kevin Durant was interviewed on the TV show, and in the face of the host's question, he made his own answer:

"The competition in the NBA is still very strong this season, the Houston Rockets, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Boston Celtics are all strong, but there is no doubt that the Golden State Warriors have the greatest probability of winning the championship, and our lineup and state will be the strongest in the league, and there is no one."

"Bruce is certainly a great superstar and I've learned a lot from him, but the Warriors' offense is too dependent on Bruce, and when Bruce can't play on the offensive end, the Mavericks get into a stalemate, and that's going to be the biggest obstacle for the Mavericks."

"The Warriors don't have that, and our offense is the best in the league."

The Warriors have the strongest offense?

There is really no one to refute this.

The Splash Brothers' offense was originally one of the strongest in the league, and after partnering with Draymond Green and Kevin Durant, the offense didn't matter.

Durant brags about his team's strong offense, and there's nothing wrong with that.

But just after winning the championship from the Mavericks, it became this mentality, and Durant used the Mavericks to illustrate the strength of the Warriors, which is a bit excessive.

Qin Yang didn't speak, and Gobert was not convinced when he was interviewed:

"Dallas won't be short of wins as long as Bruce is there, Kevin Durant is a superstar, but there's still a James away from Bruce."

Gobert is also grumpy, and the Mavericks almost wanted to trade Gobert in the first place.

Fortunately, Gobert's offense was very poor later, and he was suppressed by Qin Yang and Nowitzki, and his temper was much smoother.

But this is not for anyone else.

Durant's words instantly caused Gobert's rebuttal. I want to talk about "Basketball Superstar" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
