The team has won 12 consecutive games, and Mark Cuban is simply happier than making 10 million.

After all, 12 consecutive victories cannot be bought with 10 million.

Nowitzki's 42-point performance made Cuban smile even more.

In last season's playoffs, the Mavericks were swept by the Kings 4-1 in the Western Conference semifinals.

The meeting between Webber and Dirk, two power forwards who like to play outside, really made the media complain for a while.

Dirk and Webber's style of play was often criticized as "soft" in the playoffs.

After Dirk lost this series, he even nicknamed the King of Soft Kings.

For a time, Dirk's reputation took a turn for the worse.

But Cuban did not give up on Dirk. Instead, he gave the German a six-year maximum salary contract this summer.

Cuban: I will give you my affiliated gold card, and next season you...

Dirk: Are you teaching me how to do something?

Cuban: No, I just appreciate you as a person, you have such backbone.

Dirk got the maximum salary, and people even laughed at the Germans for being soft-boiled.

After all, in this era, it is not easy to get a maximum salary.

This is not a league where everyone can get big contracts at will. Under normal circumstances, the top-paid players are really the strongest superstars in the league.

Although Dirk is not arrogant, he is not the kind of person who regards money as dirt.

There probably isn't a player in the entire league who doesn't want a big contract but insists on a small contract.

Since Cuban dares to give it, Dirk will definitely dare to take it.

So throughout the summer, Dirk spent the whole summer amidst the taunts of "one dares to give and the other dares to take".

But now the Mavericks have won 12 consecutive games, breaking all doubts.

Nowitzki's offensive performance is also better this season, averaging 26.4 points per game so far.

As a long man, he averages nearly 5 three-pointers per game. In this era, no big man plays like this.

As a result, people say that Dirk may be more suitable for the title of top five shooting guard than Leon.

In short, Cuban and Dirk are feeling proud this season.

Those who laughed at Mavericks before now have their faces swollen.

The Mavericks in the Western Conference and the Pistons in the Eastern Conference are simply two crazy people who slap each other in the face.

The outstanding record made Cuban very confident, so in the interview after the game, the rich boss did not hesitate to praise him:

"Yao's performance is great. As an international player, his performance is really good.

But there is no doubt that Dirk defeated him today. Yao is an excellent international player, and Dirk is the greatest international player in history!"

As soon as I opened my mouth, I always stepped on him and gave him a thumbs up.

"The greatest international player in history? In other words, do you think Dirk is more terrifying than Leon? Leon has defeated Duncan and Karl Malone this season. Not long ago, he also got a 5X5 data." The reporter asked in return.

"Like I said, Li and Yao, they are both excellent international players, but Dirk is the best!"

At this time, Cuban was so in love with Nowitzki that he couldn't help himself.

As Dirk's big brother, Cuban doesn't allow anyone to speak ill of his little baby.

It’s not Cuban’s fault. I wonder which man can stand such a white and long beauty.

A white European player with strong scoring ability, this is simply a basketball idol tailor-made for Dallas.

No one can be a better driver than my family, absolutely no one!

On the other side, at the Bulls' press conference, Yasuko dismissed Dirk's 42 points: "It just happened to be a good touch today, nothing special."

You want me to kneel down and lick that German bitch? There’s no way!

I will admit defeat rather than surrender, my Taizi is so tough!

"Is it just a good feeling? Then your career high score is only 29 points, is it because you have never felt good?" Dallas reporters immediately asked a heartbreaking question.

"Ah this...I..."

"By the way, at the last moment of today's game, the team had a chance. But it seems that you were scored by Dirk in several consecutive rounds before the point difference was completely widened. How do you think of your performance against Nowitzki?

What about defense?”

Artest was immediately besieged by reporters, and Yao Ming, who was sitting nearby, sighed.

Others were afraid of being called into the meeting, but it was better for Yasuko. He opened the door of the meeting room and rushed in by himself.

But speaking of it, losing this game was really frustrating.

Allowing the opponent's star player to score 42 points is a kind of contempt for the Bulls' defensive system.

At the end of the press conference, Artest was indignant: "Damn, they say I can't defend well. Is it possible that Li Ang can definitely defend Dirk better than me?"

Yasuko was so angry that Nowitzki cut off half of his leg and came back to fight me.

Look how I torture him!

What kind of skill is it to hit someone based on your height advantage?

"Holy shit, Nowitzki scored 42 points, can you do it in the next game?" At this time, Ben, Hamilton, Billups and Leon were all watching TV at Leon's house.

Because my brother can't participate in the next game, he can't help but feel a little worried.

Even though it's just the regular season, if you lose one game and win one, it doesn't seem to have a big impact.

But after all, the Pistons are now No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. The No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference is facing the No. 1 team in the Western Conference. They must compete to win.

Everyone is number one, why should I lose to you?

Moreover, the outside world says that the Pistons' record will decline rapidly, which also makes you bad boys very unconvinced.

We have won ten consecutive victories, but you are still biased against us.

So if I lose the next game, I don’t know what will be said.

Teams without superstars, teams that rely on defense to win, are just so unpopular.

Hamilton rubbed his nose: "Artest's defense doesn't seem bad, right? Dirk can score 42 points on him, which is really impressive."

Don't ask why Hamilton rubbed his nose. Li Ang also took great pains to make him wear a mask.

"Oh, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit. Where can he go without being abused? We are different. When will we improve our lives? It will be when we meet the number one in the West!"

It's not that Li Ang underestimates Nowitzki, it's mainly that Tai is unreliable.

"But it is really difficult to defend in the next game. The Mavericks' offense this season is very good. The media all say that we win by defense and they win by offense. Otherwise, in the next game, Li Ang will go to the fifth position.

."

Billups suggested.

"Me? But I'm a shooting guard."

"It's okay. You are taller than me. He can play the No. 5 position. Why can't you play the No. 5 position?"

Billups covered his mouth as soon as he finished speaking. He knew he had said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, I cast a murderous look.

"I'm 2.10 meters tall and I'm not going to lie. How can Li Ang be as tall as me?"

"You didn't forget about the afro. Besides, at the beginning of the season, you said you were 2.06 meters tall. Now you've grown taller?" Billups smiled.

"What's wrong with the afro? The afro is not part of my body? My hair has grown longer, so is there a problem now that I'm 2.10 meters tall?"

I'm so anxious because I'm afraid Billups won't believe me.

Also, what man wouldn’t be anxious if he was called short?

But facts also prove that the more powerful a person refutes, the more shortcoming he is!

In the end, the Pistons' four giants discussed it for a long time, but could not come up with a countermeasure.

The defense that the Pistons relied on for survival is no longer there, and they simply cannot resist the Mavericks' top offense in the league.

When he went to train the next day, as soon as Li Ang arrived at the stadium, he saw Carlisle standing in the training ground with two big black circles under his eyes.

At first glance, it seems that he has entered the immortal cultivation mode.

"Rick, your hair will fall out if you do this. What's the matter? Have you come up with any good tricks after staying up late?"

Li Ang now knows why Carlisle is bald.

"There is a way, but I don't know if it will work."

"You are not really asking me to play the fifth position, are you?" Li Ang looked disgusted. If he really put himself in the fifth position, then he would have to commit six fouls in half the game?

If you think everyone is Karl Malone, then just give it to them.

The guys on the Mavericks are very talented.
