Previously, the Lakers played a game against the Mavericks in Dallas, and the team officially played a tribute video to Doncic at home, and Doncic on the sidelines also felt a lot about it.

This person, who was once regarded by the Mavericks as the face of the future team, now goes elsewhere and returns to his hometown The moment has also caused many fans to miss it, and such a superstar was traded, which also makes us sigh that the era of "one person, one city" seems to be really getting farther and farther away from us.

When it comes to the label of "one person, one city", coupled with the city of Dallas, it is natural to avoid Nowitzki, a representative figure. No matter what the fans think of it, how to define the criteria of one person, one city, this German tank will definitely be the one who will be selected for the list.

In his nearly 20-year career, he helped Dallas win the first championship in team history. And just as he was about to retire, Doncic, the golden boy of Europe, came to take over from the team and led Dallas back to the Finals last season. Although it was eventually defeated by the Green Shirts, at that time, this old powerhouse had gradually risen.

However, after a bomb deal, the situation is no longer what it used to be.

If you want to talk about the Dallas Mavericks in the last 30 years, former owner Cuban and German tank Nowitzki are definitely the most impressive for most fans.

My personal impression of the Mavericks (or like to call this team name) probably began in 2001 years, when the Mavericks just moved the team's home stadium to the current American Airlines Center, under the coaching of Don Nelson, the team has played a good regular season season year after year, and the playoffs and the Spurs, the rival of the same region, the picture of the King of Nuo against the Stone Buddha is also a legendary story, but helplessly, based on the strength of the team, it has been defeated for many years.

In 60, after Avery Johnson took over the coaching of the team, the Mavericks won 0 in the regular season, and Avery also won the best head coach by virtue of his results, swept the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs, defeated the archrival Spurs in the semifinals, and retired from the Suns in the West, and was able to reach the first Finals since the establishment of the team. In the contest with the Heat, Nowitzki fought against Wade and O'Neal, and the Mavericks, who won two games at home, lost to their opponents by a small margin one after another, and saw the Heat win the first championship in team history.

The following year, the Mavericks became the No. 1 seed in the West but were upset, and then the team traded for veteran Jason Kidd, partnered with Nowitzki, and joined hands with new coach Carlisle to usher in a moment of glory for the Mavericks.

In 2011, he advanced to the playoffs as the fourth seed, and in the second round he encountered the Lakers, who had won three consecutive championships, Nowitzki played a top offensive and defensive performance at a critical moment, helping the team pass two consecutive levels to advance to the finals; Although the final opponent is also the Heat, it has changed greatly from that year, and the strength of the triumvirate of Wade, James, and Bosh is quite terrifying.

The finals of that year were also particularly enthusiastic, although the first four games were drawn, but three of them were won and lost within 31 ball rounds, but the elongated Mavericks successfully grasped the fifth game back to their home court, and after obtaining match points, they closed the next game and won the first championship trophy in the team's history since the establishment of the team in 0 years.

With this championship, it also officially established Novis' unshakable first position as the team, and his hard work for 13 years, no matter how many failures he has experienced, has not fallen, and he deserves the soul of the Dallas team.

It's a pity that the follow-up age, due to injuries and stop-and-go, even if the team has had many reinforcements and changes in the lineup, and even found high-quality puzzle pieces such as Chandler Parsons, Monta Ellis, Rondo, etc., we have never been able to see the Mavericks on the finals stage.

但即便如此，情義於心的諾維斯基依舊並未放棄，主動跳出合約降價500萬給球隊補強空間，而球隊老闆庫班感謝其貢獻，也給出了兩年5000萬的回敬。二人的暖心選擇，也讓球迷們看到了NBA這個商業聯盟的溫情另一面。

When the time came to the 40 draft, the Mavericks, who were renamed the Mavericks, traded two draft picks to the Hawks and got the European Championship MVP Doncic, who was only 0 years old, and Nowitzki, who was 0 years old, was also determined to hang up his jersey at the end of the season.

The management that has not stopped the pace of reinforcement is also vigorously bringing in Jordan Jr., poaching Porzingis from the Knicks, and after the German tank ended its legendary history of 21 years, the Mavericks once again formed a new European partner to start the road to rebuilding.

Judging from the trajectory of his debut, Doncic is an out-and-out data harvester, becoming the darling of the world as soon as he landed in the NBA, with a variety of scoring methods, and a strong offensive ability to revitalize his teammates to score, and his rookie season basically established the status of the league's top scorer.

However, with the advancement of the star huddle and the three-point era, the competition in the West is becoming more and more fierce, and although the Mavericks' regular season record has been slowly rising, the playoffs are still quite struggling.

In the 11-0 season, the team reinstated Jason Kidd as head coach and waived Porzingis, and the team completely relied on Doncic to break the embarrassing situation of winning the championship for 0 consecutive years in the first round.

The following year, he traded with the Nets to come to the backcourt core Kyrie Irving, who was unanimously unanimous from the outside world, defeated the Clippers, Thunder, and Timberwolves in the playoffs last season to return to the Finals.

But with a bomb trade, all the expectations of the Dallas around Doncic have become a bubble, and the Mavericks and Lakers have reached a three-way deal, with Davis, who has been a three-time defensive team, go to Texas to form a new two-star combination, and Doncic will go to Los Angeles to become the new face of the Lakers for the next 10 years.

While both sides of the deal have their own reasons for explaining this incomprehensible deal, the link between the player and the team is yet another testament to the brutality of the commercial market.

Frankly speaking, I personally disliked the NBA very much for a while, especially under the influence of the huddle culture, although there are more and more excellent players, but the perception of hard work in the face of failure in the past has gradually passed; Without the headwind, it is really difficult for people to pay enthusiastic attention to the perennial plot of the Great Demon King.

As for the Maverick who came out of sight early, it seems that he also disappeared in front of the broadcast camera for a while, the game is pitiful, the team news is not much, and there is no free time for the student period, and the perception of this team is also decreasing.

As the key to the two eras before and after, Nowitzki and Doncic are important existences that allow the media to focus on Dallas, for the Mavericks in the small market, they don't have much money to fight for an unlimited number of stars to join, and the unyielding character of the two European stars is that even if only one person is present, they will not give up the desire to win, and it has also become a prominent label for international players to challenge the NBA.

The plot of the one-man relationship, from the opening battle to the end of the game, shows the tenacious tenacity of Texas. Especially during the period when Doncic just joined the team, it seemed to make people smell the same era again.

Of course, Doncic's style of play is not good with the lineup, this is the truth, the players also have a lot of shortcomings, the body is fat and thin, and the self-discipline is also criticized by many people, but for this deal, not only did the team not discuss it with the players themselves, but even from the follow-up revelations, there is also some taste of secretly giving and receiving each other, which inevitably makes fans feel uncomfortable.

From the words of general manager Harrison, it is not difficult to know the reason for the deal, and it also fully expresses the dissatisfaction of the team's top management with Doncic, but for a backbone player who seamlessly integrates the team and helps return to the glory of the championship, such a reckless approach is really too rude. Even Nowitzki, after learning about the deal, directly left a surprise emoji on social media, and the former boss Cuban also joked about divorcing his wife, and the shock can be imagined.

watched the previous game footage of the Lakers' visit to Dallas on the short video, especially the picture of Doncic watching the home tribute on the sidelines, it is not difficult to make people think, and it reminds people of Doncic's farewell letter to the team after the trade left:

"Seven years ago, as a teenager, I came here with the dream of playing basketball in the highest halls. I thought I was going to spend my whole career here, and I've always wanted to give you a championship. The love and support you have given me has been far beyond my imagination.

For a young man from Slovenia, coming to the U.S. for the first time, it was you who made Texas my second home.

Whether it's the good times or the low times, from injuries to the finals, your support hasn't changed. Thank you for not only sharing my best moments with me, but also for empowering me when I needed it most.

Thank you to all the Dallas organizations I've worked with, and thank you for allowing me to be part of meaningful work and working with you to bring hope to those in need. Now, as the next chapter of my basketball journey unfolds, I'm leaving the city, but Dallas will always be my home away from home.

Dallas is a special place, and the Mavericks fans are the most special ones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. ”

After reading Doncic's farewell, there is inevitably a lot of sentimentality, seeing Dallas as a second home and relying on his own energy to bring warmth and strength, which is not only the value that the record performance can represent.

Personally, it is because Nowitzki, a senior, is on the road in front of him that Doncic said:"I thought I was going to spend my whole career here and I always wanted to give you a championship"Such words.

Confident that he can restore glory to Dallas, and after years of defeat, he has not shouted the flag of leaving, and now, everything can only come to naught, not to mention Doncic himself, and the many emotions that fans may have.

There's no denying that the NBA is a ruthless business world, and we shouldn't criticize the stars who have left their old clubs, after all, there are no shortage of cold cases in the league that have squeezed out the value of their stars, but from a fan perspective, it's really hard to imagine things like Kobe Bryant leaving Los Angeles, Duncan leaving the Spurs, or the Warriors trading Curry.

Even if LeBron James, who has been praised by fans even if he has won glory by moving to other teams, Cleveland is likely to be the answer he will give without hesitation when asked about the most ideal place to retire in the future. And that's the mark between the player and the city.

The predecessor Nowitzki has established the prestige status of "one person, one city", and the successor Doncic once took over the banner of Dallas, and it is precisely based on this sentiment that a large number of fans will find it difficult for the team to accept after this deal.

Judging by Harrison's explanation, it is not difficult to understand the decision of management.

In this day and age, long waits are not always rewarding, and there is a balance between salary pressure and championship expectations, and making a decision for the sake of results is a reasonable choice. It's just that back to the perspective of Mavericks fans, it is still difficult to accept this decision, although Irving + Davis is still a competitive combination, but it will not have the attraction of a star in the future, even if it wins the championship, what impression can it leave for future generations?

Just like Nowitzki's 11-0 victory, if Doncic can recreate it, the fans' perception will definitely be even higher than it is now. What's more, the combination of Irving + Davis may not necessarily be more valuable than Irving + Doncic.

Returning to the theme, although it is not uncommon for league stars to huddle together, and the teams of the duo, the Big Three and even the Big Four are not unfamiliar, fans are always used to saying "whose team is this" and "who is the boss" when discussing the team.

For fans, the connection between the Mavericks and Doncic has long been inseparable, and even if the Mavericks choose to give up the future now, the team will not completely lose Doncic. Even if he has turned from a comrade to a future enemy, Doncic's surprise to the Mavericks will not disappear completely.
