Chapter 694 The final choice is not a problem
The Mavericks have not changed many players in recent seasons, but the team has become more and more complicated.
In his first season with the Mavericks, the team was divided into two groups. One was players brought by Qin Yang, and the other was Dirk’s former teammates. At that time, Qin Yang and Dirk were able to hold on. Although the team had obvious factions, it was actually not a big problem.
The following year, Dirk clearly started to give way.
This abdication is not the team leader, but the team's inside position. Al Jefferson and Gobert began to take over the team's main position, especially Gobert, who was regarded as the future inside gate of the team.
This year, after the trade, the team's strife is even greater.
Jokic's ambitions were greater than expected. After Qin Yang was injured, Jokic's agent went directly to the team manager and asked his players to have more ball rights.
More than that, Jokic's agent was also very rude during the interview:
"Nicola is an excellent player, a player who can be used as the core of the team. I believe that any team hopes to have such an insider, but Dallas is obviously not prepared to do so. They are not willing to give my employer more playing time and possession of the ball. This is our biggest controversy."
"Now Jokic belongs to Dallas, but in the future...who can say for sure, Jokic does not reject going to any team in the United States, this is our idea."
A few days after Qin Yang was injured, Jokic started to make trouble.
This Nima is too cruel.
A team is far from simply saying that whoever is stronger can be the boss.
Many things happen naturally.
Jokic is too arrogant and really thinks he is invincible. In fact, Jokic is more like Kevin Love with a higher golf quotient. Essentially, there is no difference between the two.
Let him be the core, Gobert and Rudy Gay are not convinced.
Not only that, Jokic has a perverse personality, and everyone looks down on him. He thinks he is powerful, so he has a very violent temper and often makes irresponsible remarks.
This kind of character is very unpleasant.
As a boss, being able to chat with everyone on the team and convince everyone is the quality you should have.Jokic clearly lacks this ability.
In the team, Gobert felt that he made up for Jokic and contributed a lot on the defensive end, but he didn't get a little attention, and he had a lot of opinions.
Rudy Gay is also not convinced. In the finals last year, if Rudy Gay hadn't defended James all the way and made the latter shoot less than 45%, then the finals would have been difficult to win.
After Dirk retired, the position of the team's second child is still in doubt.
Jokic was a little too arrogant, which caused public outrage.
On the 5th, the Mavericks played away against the Charlotte Hornets.
Jokic faced Kemba Walker and others and was beaten into a sieve.
Jokic's speed is slow, his explosive power is not strong, and his defensive ability is very weak. Although he has a good sense of defensive position, he needs the help of his teammates at this time.
Kemba Walker made emergency stop jump shots again and again, which made Jokic very depressed.
On the court, Jokic directed Rudy Gay to defend, but was ignored by Rudy Gay, and Gobert ignored Jokic's roar and retreated directly.
The three of them didn't even pass a single pass on the court, and the incomparably cold relationship ignited countless media.
In this game, the Hornets won in surprise.
After the game, Gobert, Rudy Gay and Dirk all called Qin Yang.
Dirk asked Qin Yang to decide what to do, while Gobert and Rudy Gay complained separately, and Jokic played too much.On the offensive end, Jokic plays himself as the boss of the team, and he is not an ordinary boss.Qin Yang has always been the leader of the team and has a lot of ball possessions, but in many cases, Qin Yang gives the ball to his teammates to mobilize their subjective initiative.
But Jokic really sees himself as the boss.
This possession is more than James.
Jokic holds the ball for too much time on the offensive end. Usually, his teammates pass the ball when they are in place and able to attack.
On the defensive end, Jokic even dumped the blame on his teammates, relying on his teammates to defend.
If Qin Yang's teammates all played with James, they might be able to tolerate Jokic's style of play, but after being teammates with Qin Yang, the two can't stand Jokic's approach.
Qin Yang was quite helpless when he received the call.
Just injured, the team encountered such civil strife, how to play the game.
Qin Yang couldn't pretend he didn't see this kind of thing.
On November 11th, when the Mavericks played against the Partridge at home, Qin Yang called the team manager and owner to his farm.
The three watched the game together.
When Jokic faced Anthony Davis, he was blown away like a child meeting an adult, and he was not an opponent at all.Jokic's skills are better than Anthony Davis, but his height and speed are inferior. He was 12 of 2 defended by Anthony Davis and had 4 turnovers. The performance of the audience was jaw-dropping.
After the match on TV ended, Qin Yang asked Don Nelson directly:
"Donnie, how to deal with Jokic's matter, if this continues, it will be very difficult to play this season."
Downey was a little hesitant, a little vacillating:
"Bruce, we haven't decided on this matter yet, because Jokic's performance is so good, none of us thought he would have such a performance. If the team can perfectly integrate Jokic into the team, we can easily build a dynasty."
Downey's tone was tinged with excitement.
Nikola Jokic was a windfall.No one expected Jokic to perform so well.
Jokic was chosen at the beginning only because Dirk and Al Jefferson were getting older and older, and in the next few years they needed an insider who could help the team on the offensive end.
Jokic is a very good choice.
In Europe, Jokic is famous for his shooting, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, which is why the Mavericks chose Jokic.
But first, everyone thought that Jokic was a player with superstar potential, and the Mavericks made a lot of money.
Cuban looked much calmer, and said to Qin Yang:
"Bruce, this matter still depends on your opinion. Dallas will be your team for the next ten years, so if you have any opinions, you can speak directly."
"Of course we want to keep Jokic, but if you don't allow it, we will still choose to trade him."
Cuban is very rational. Although Cuban is the most loyal fan among the bosses, it does not mean that Cuban is stupid. Leaving Jokic behind and offending Qin Yang is an act of death.
Although Rudy Gay and Gobert are powerful, one is already a veteran at the end of his peak, and the other is at most an inside gate, and his potential is not as good as Jokic.
The two of them have an opinion, and it doesn't matter.
The key is Qin Yang.
Qin Yang's attitude is very clear: "Keep Jokic, the team will be completely chaotic, we need to keep Gobert and Rudy, next, try to trade Jokic out!"
