138 [Lone Ranger No. 35]
Jiang Hao saw the desire in Nowitzki's eyes, and then stopped insisting because he knew very well that Nowitzki was not a false humility.
"Whether it is qualifications or ability to lead the team, the new season will be a huge challenge for me, so Dirk, I hope you can help me."
Since we have talked about this today, Jiang Hao would not be careful to start talking completely. He knew Nowitzki's influence on this team and the city.
Therefore, since he is as the team's new core, he must advance and retreat with Nowitzki.
"You can rest assured that this is not just Dirk, but even me, will give you enough time. I won't ask you to lead the team to achieve an excellent record in the regular season, but when the playoffs arrive, you must let me see the qualitative change of this team. In other words, my only requirement for you is to be in a stalemate of the playoffs."
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. This was probably Mark Cuban's minimum requirement, and for him, this was indeed a relatively low-pressure regular season.
After separating from Mark Cuban and Decknowski, under the leadership of the team's general manager Nelson Jr., Jiang Hao and the others then arrived at the physical test.
This is the NBA rule. No matter it is a contract of big or small or any kind of contract, physical testing must be carried out before signing.
For Jiang Hao, his contract was a four-year new one, so his physical testing procedure seemed more complicated.
Whether it is blood draw or hair test, it must be done step by step.
Fortunately, Jiang Hao maintained enough patience, but even so, it took Jiang Hao two days to complete the physical examination.
The results show that everything is normal in the physical indicators.
Ricci Paul breathed a long sigh, and when Jiang Hao and the Mavericks signed the contract, he could finally have a good rest.
To be honest, this process is really not easy. Ritchie Paul must admit that in the past half month, he has almost become crazy.
Whether it was LeBron James' contract or Jiang Hao's contract, it was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, forcing him to quickly complete the signing.
Fortunately, it is finally settled now.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Dallas Mavericks held a press conference and officially announced that the team and Xinke FVP signed a new four-year contract.
At the press conference, Jiang Hao also officially made his debut with his jersey.
Still No. 35!
Did Jiang Hao choose his jersey number when he was with the Spurs?
"I'm very excited. Everyone knows that just a year ago, I was a down-and-out rookie with a slim future at the end of the article. At that time, for me, I was not looking forward to any big contract. At that time, I just hoped that a team would be willing to provide me with a contract, even if it was a two-way contract..."
The Mavericks No. 35 shared the embarrassment of a year ago with the fans at the press conference, and explained to everyone his excited heart at this moment.
"I will never forget San Antonio, I love there, obviously, without the San Antonio Spurs, I would have been forever grateful to the city, which has a great fan base."
In addition to sharing the past, the Mavericks 35 also expressed their gratitude to the former owner San Antonio Spurs.
Most of the fans of the San Antonio Spurs will not hate Jiang Hao's departure. On the contrary, they bless Jiang Hao because Jiang Hao does not owe this team anything.
But at this time, when they saw Jiang Hao expressing his gratitude at the press conference, they were still a little sad.
In China on the other side of the ocean, when fans learned that Jiang Hao had officially signed with the Mavericks, they also cheered one by one.
Because to be honest, in the hearts of Chinese fans, everyone is not unfamiliar with the Mavericks team.
If the Houston Rockets have the largest fan base in China because of Yao Ming, then the Dallas Mavericks are another team that once allowed Chinese fans to pay attention to their emotions.
All is because of the "wind-chasing boy" Wang Zhizhi, who once brought infinite possibilities to the Chinese people in this team.
Fans are always cute. They like Jiang Hao, and they like the choices they make with them.
The Mavericks of Dallas!
Although he is not as good as the Los Angeles Lakers, he will definitely be the team that Chinese fans pay the most attention to in the next few years, and will also be the team that Chinese sponsors like to seek cooperation the most.
Even in the eyes of many people, with Jiang Hao signing the Mavericks, the Dallas Mavericks will surpass the Houston Rockets in the shortest time in the future and become the most popular team in China.
"Chinese fans' new home team Dallas Mavericks"
The famous basketball commentator Yang Yi even publicly stated on Weibo.
Yang Yi's Weibo post was quickly pushed to the top of the hot search list, which shows how Chinese people recognize it.
"Why did Morey, who was always smart, not even make a sound during this battle for Jiang Hao?"
The problem is here. Some Chinese fans and old Houston Rockets fans raised this question in confusion.
Although the Houston Rockets' operating space this year does not seem to be large, this does not mean that Morey has no operating space. As early as before the finals were over, the Rockets were even recognized by fans as the leader in Jiang Hao's competition.
At that time, in everyone's opinion, Morey could have given up making an appointment with Chris Paul and asked Jiang Hao to replace Chris Paul's position.
In this way, the combination of James Harden and Jiang Hao is enough to make the entire league tremble. A terrible fact is that this combination is very young and they even have the opportunity to attack the league's first double team.
Replacing Chris Paul with Jiang Hao is definitely a perfect choice, because Jiang Hao's flank offense and defense capabilities are exactly what the Rockets need.
At that time, everyone was optimistic that the Rockets would become Jiang Hao's next stop.
But unexpectedly, when the finals ended and the transfer market officially opened, there were fewer and fewer topics about Houston Rockets and Jiang Hao.
Morey himself also directly discussed the topic about Jiang Hao in public.
What exactly happened during this period?
Why didn't the Houston Rockets pursue Jiang Hao with all their might?
Instead, he renewed Chris Paul with a big contract that people can't understand, completely blocking Jiang Hao's franchise.
How smart is Morey? What is he doing? Are the Houston Rockets trying to give up the Chinese market?
Many Rockets fans have raised a series of questions.
