Now Cuban has gotten rid of the low-level fun of making money, and his biggest dream is that the Mavericks will win a championship.

On January 14, 2000, Kuban won the Mavericks for $280 million from Ross Pylotte.

In the first 20 years after Cuban took over, the Mavericks' winning rate was 40%, and the playoff record was 21 wins and 32 losses.

The Mavericks never walked away in the playoffs.

But in the past 10 years under Cuban, the Mavericks have gradually maintained their regular season record of more than 50 wins every year, and entered the playoffs every year, turning into a league-strong team.

In 2006, the Mavericks entered the league finals, but they finally lost to the Miami Heat led by the "Flash" Wade and the Sharks O'Neal.

Generally speaking, NBA team owners are not basketball fanatics. They usually hold a passive "ATM" role. They generally do not watch team games often. Even if there are home games, they will mostly watch the game in a luxurious private room isolated from the hustle and bustle scene.

Compared with these bosses, Cuban's performance is a loyal fan of the Mavericks.

Cuban will sit on the sidelines wearing a short T with the team logo during the game and watch the game with rich expressions. Cuban will be resolute to the referee after the players are punished unfairly. Cuban will shout and scream like a child when the team wins. Cuban will take his own private jet to the scene to refuel when the team is away games...

The reason why Cuban on the sidelines has become the focus of the media is not just his identity as the boss of the team. Another important reason is that he is the Mavericks' serious judgment. Over the years in the league, Cuban has been fined by the league many times because of all kinds of outrageous remarks that have stood up for the team.

Compared to the boss, Cuban is more like a fan.

This is Zhao Yu's intuitive feeling.

After Zhao Yu signed the contract with Xiao Niu, the news was quickly spread.

Many people are paying attention to Zhao Yu's every move.

"Love in Dallas, Zhao Yu joins hands with King No.

"Send Stevenson and Carol for free, just to clear the space and sign Zhao Yu?"

"Zhao Yu signed the Mavericks with 10 million yuan in one year, and the Mavericks strive to win the championship!"

"Three games are worth tens of millions of annual salary? Are the Mavericks too luxurious in the backcourt?"

"The Yellow-Genius Guard has no successful experience, is the signing of the contract too casually?"

When Zhao Yu signed with the Mavericks, he was unanimously welcomed by executives and bosses, but the Dallas media did not welcome Zhao Yu.

In addition to reducing the depth of the lineup in order to sign Zhao Yu, he also has distrust of Zhao Yu's skin color.

Zhao Yu did play excellent in all three games in the Clippers, but not most media watched his game.

Zhao Yu was in the Clippers at the time and had the most ball rights to follow the mobile phone. Most of the team's tactics revolved around him, so the data was naturally good.

But the Mavericks faced a playoff challenge. Zhao Yu had no playoff experience and even lacked regular season experience. The Dallas media naturally chose not to trust Zhao Yu.

In other words, they recognize Zhao Yu's ability to stay in the NBA, but they do not recognize Zhao Yu's salary.

A salary of 10 million yuan per year, such a salary is second only to Nowitzki in the Mavericks. Terry and Kidd are not as high as Zhao Yu.

This annual salary is too high. Dallas media believe that giving Zhao Yu an annual salary of about 5 million is relatively reasonable.

No matter how strong Zhao Yu is, he only played three games and gave him tens of millions of annual salary. If the water is lost, the atmosphere in the Mavericks locker room will be destroyed and the team's lineup will be weakened.

When Zhao Yu applied for an advance payment of part of his salary to find a house in Dallas, the media and fans in Dallas were quarreling on the Internet.

"Cuban is a basketball fan, but not a good boss. He should introduce a good center to help Nowitzki share the defensive pressure, not the defender."

"With Kidd, Terry, Karon Butler, why do you have a 20-year-old who hasn't even played a few games in the regular season? Although this kid is excellent, he is not suitable for us."

"The Clippers are rebuilding the team, and they have enough time and shooting times to let him produce good-looking data, but he doesn't have that many opportunities in the Mavericks. Look, the Mavericks are getting further and further away from the championship."

"Are you looking for a defender who has no successful experience yet? Are you ready to rebuild?"

The Mavericks have frequently lost in the playoffs in the past two years, and the team's lineup has aging, and most of them are because Mavericks fans have distrust their future.

The signing of Zhao Yu is more of a reconstruction that they consider.

The Mavericks’ goal is the championship, how can they endure reconstruction?

There are various information gaps between fans, media, and the team, which also represents the interests of all parties and makes their own remarks.

A newcomer is too high-profile to a new place and will definitely cause some doubts. Zhao Yu is experiencing these doubts.

Zhao Yu also knew these doubts, but he didn't care.

Just give him the ball and he can shatter all doubts.

Compared to responding to various boring comments on Twitter, Zhao Yu is still busy solving his own life.

Zhao Yu and Cuban applied for a salary advance of $2 million.

If there is no advance, there will be only one-third of the season left, which is said to be tens of millions, but in fact, only more than three million will be paid in several times. Zhao Yu is short of money and can't wait for that long.

Houses in the wealthy area of ​​Dallas are also expensive.

Zhao Yu had to rent a house here for $2 million. As for buying a house, don’t think about it first.

"Well, look, here, how about it? There is a big garden, a swimming pool, and a home theater."

"Yes, wouldn't it be too big?"

"No, no, this place is not big, and it will take two or three rooms to put on the heels of the basketball shoes and clothes in the future."

"Yeah, then you decided to save some money, don't be too expensive."

"I know, we are not short of money now."

.....

Zhao Yu was video linking with Reba and watching the house.

After looking at two rooms, Zhao Yu found a rental villa that he could move in directly with the help of the Mavericks staff.

The villa is one of the properties of Kuban friends, and it gave Zhao Yu a certain rent discount.

The villa has 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a home theater, a swimming pool, an indoor court, and a large garden...

There are some luxury houses in this villa.

If the price of a villa is sold normally, it will be more than US$10 million.

As for rent, the price is much cheaper, and Zhao Yu can afford it.

Zhao Yu chose this because there are many celebrities and government officials in Dallas nearby. There is absolutely no problem with safety. You can also move in immediately, and you don’t even need to clean it. There are special cleaning staff here for a long time to clean it regularly.

When going out, Zhao Yu ranked first in terms of safety.

After buying the house, Zhao Yu spent $500,000 to buy a Lamborghini sports car and a Buick SUV.

Although Zhao Yu does not have a driver's license, he would drive in his previous life. After a while, he would go through a process and get a temporary driver's license for up to one week.

Everything is made of money. The advantage of a capitalist country is that rich people will live a comfortable life.

As for the poor?

Happy education.

There are villas, luxury cars, and beauties, and Zhao Yu is now full of fighting spirit for his future life...

After completing the life arrangements, Zhao Yu immediately boarded the plane to Houston.

Zhao Yu needs to meet with the Mavericks in Houston and challenge the Rockets away.

On the plane to Houston, Zhao Yu was full of confidence.

Zhao Yu's mood was completely different from when he first went abroad.

At that time, there were many unknowns and many uncertainties.

But now it’s different. Zhao Yu has become famous and has a contract worth tens of millions of dollars in hand.

Zhao Yu achieved a small goal of stabilizing in the NBA.
