Lost...

The game was ultimately lost...

3-4, the Dallas Mavericks ended their playoff journey this season in silence.

This isn't the first time Cuban has witnessed the Dallas Mavericks' defeat.

Since becoming the owner of the Dallas Mavericks in 2000, Mark Cuban has witnessed the Dallas Mavericks' failure every year.

From 2000 to 2009, a full 9 years!

9 years…

This is really a long time that makes many people lose all enthusiasm.

This is not one, two, three, or even four, five, six, or seven years of failure. This is nine consecutive years of failure!

After so many years of failure, failure has never smoothed his unruly edges.

Whether it was the black eight in 2007 or the collapse that was just one step away from success in 2006, it never smoothed his edges and never crushed his enthusiasm!

Failure is not that terrible!

The key is whether you have the courage to continue standing!

As long as you have the courage to continue standing, failure is just a passerby and will not bring any blow to your life. It will only make you more diligent and more motivated!

Therefore, there were times when Mark Cuban always felt that he was not a person who could be knocked down by failure.

Nor can he be someone who is struck by failure.

But now...

Looking at the silent scene at American Airlines Arena.

Look at those silent Mavericks players on the court.

Looking at the team coach on the sidelines who closed his eyes as if his heart was broken.

Looking at the No. 41 that he paid the most attention to, felt the most distressed about, and loved the most, who seemed to be exhausted, the No. 41 who gave everything for this game, for the first time, Mark Cuban was so sad in his heart.

Unwilling!

If it weren't for the fact that the team had no choice but to double-team Yes with Kwame Brown and Afflalo, the team's defensive system, which has never collapsed, would not have collapsed!

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one on the team who could defend Durant, Durant, a useless player, would not have been able to shoot 50% in this game again!

After Durant returned from a serious injury, his 50% shooting rate was already insulated from Durant!

If not for these ifs, if not for these too many ifs!

The real winner of this game and this series should belong to the Dallas Mavericks and Dirk!

It's him, it's him who failed to build the Dallas Mavericks into a team that can compete for the championship this season, a team with the depth of a championship team!

It was him who wasted Dirk's almost perfect playoff status this season!

17 of 20 shots, 14 of 14 free throws, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 51 points!

Career playoff scoring high!

The most perfect game of my career!

Dirk, who never lags behind even when facing Yes or competing against Yes, should have succeeded and must have succeeded!

However, it failed in the end!

This is not Dirk's failure, this is his and the Mavericks' failure!

Even Heiba, even if his dream was shattered just one step away from the championship, it did not make him feel such a big regret, as if it was an indelible regret!

What a great opportunity for Dirk to become a god directly!

What if we finally win the championship in 2006?

Even if Dirk won the 2006 championship, he still wouldn't be a god!

But if Dirk wins this year's championship, he will definitely become a god!

pity!

Pity!

Heartache!

Mark Cuban even felt so heartbroken that it was hard to breathe!

Most of the world will regret Dirk's performance.

I felt that it was a pity that Dirk could not advance to the next round like this. He had 40 points in four consecutive playoff games, and finally fell in front of the Western Conference Finals.

The regrets of these people are just false regrets, and time will fade away the regrets of these people.

Only him!

He is the only one in the world who can empathize with Dirk, and only he can truly regret it for the rest of his life because of Dirk's regret!

He longs to see the day when Dirk becomes a god!

He didn't know if Dirk would have another chance to become a god after he missed the opportunity to become a god this year.

But he knows that if Dirk really has no chance to become a god again, he will really regret and hate it for the rest of his life!

He will never forgive himself for why he couldn't equip Dirk with enough assistants to compete for the championship this year!

Even if he, even if the whole world did not expect Dirk to explode in the playoffs, this cannot be a reason for him to quibble with himself!

Thinking of this, Mark Cuban's face turned red with anger. He felt really uncomfortable now!

Mark Cuban felt like he was really shocked!

Dirk performed without any problems in this series.

There was nothing wrong with the performance of the Mavericks players.

There is also no problem with the performance of the Mavericks head coach.

He is the only one with a problem!

If he had accepted Nelson Jr.'s suggestion, he would have seriously pursued the Suns' Marion and the Lakers' Kidd last summer.

If the Mavericks do have these two in the current playoffs...

Mark Cuban, whose heart seemed to be exploding, was almost so excited that he wanted to rush his head directly to the basket stand not far away!

No one thought that the rebuilding Mavericks would have such an explosion!

No one thought that the Mavericks would have such strength this season!

Marion and Kidd are older, and he can't lock Dirk's future on these two veterans. If the gamble succeeds, it's good. If the gamble fails, the Mavericks' salary space will be locked up. He doesn't care.

Money, but he cares about space. The Mavericks, who have locked up salary space, will become a burden to Dirk's success. He doesn't want Dirk to accomplish nothing in the end!

Therefore, last summer, he chose a more steady and step-by-step strategy, and equipped Dirk with young people like Kwame Brown and Afflalomonta Alice.

Mark Cuban doesn’t want to make excuses for himself!

He never thought of making excuses for himself.

This is his failure!

Whether it was the failure in 2006, the failure in 2007 or the failure this year, it was all his failure!

If he hadn't mistrusted the young general Johnson, and if Johnson hadn't tried to lower Dirk's status in the team and promote Josh Howard in 2006 and 2007, Dirk would have succeeded long ago!

If it weren't for the young general Johnson who tried to cut off from Nelson after he left, turning the Mavericks into his team and supporting Josh Howard instead of continuing to hone and train Dirk like Nelson did.

, Dirk should have been able to improve his strength earlier!

These are not Dirk's responsibilities, but Dirk bears all his faults!

And I carry it with no regrets!

He really wanted to yell at the world: It’s not me, Mark Cuban, who is magnanimous, it’s me who is really sorry for Dirk!

Mark Cuban is sinking deeper and deeper into his own self-blame. He really can't accept that Dirk fails in this way again and again!

He really couldn't accept that every time Dirk failed, he encountered ridicule and ridicule that shouldn't belong to him!

Just when Mark Cuban was sinking deeper and deeper into his own emotions and unable to get out, the originally silent American Airlines Arena almost simultaneously let out a surprised "Eh" sound.

Mark Cuban woke up from the loud noise. When his eyes focused on the court again, the SuperSonics No. 9 who had just won the game was slowly walking towards that figure...

Yes!

Dirk!

Seeing Yes walking in front of Nowitzki, Mark Cuban's expression changed.

Isn't winning the game enough?

Could it be?!

Yes is a domineering person!
