0 to 3 behind, the Mavericks' training has been changed to closed-door.

In dire straits, they would end their season with one more loss.

They couldn't accept being swept in the first round with such a luxurious lineup.

The players' morale was inevitably low during practice.

While they were practicing, team owner Cuban came to the training facility.

Cuban is the biggest basketball lover among all the owners in the league, and he was more anxious than anyone else about the team's current situation as their number one fan.

He only had one purpose in coming to the arena, and that was to boost morale.

He was followed by several assistants, who carried several large boxes in with them.

Judging by the weight, they were quite heavy.

Carlisle was about to call the players off the court when he saw Cuban arrive.

Cuban signaled him not to, and he stood beside Carlisle, chatting and waiting.

He waited until the training on the court was over before he had Carlisle gather the players together.

"I know that every one of you has been working hard on the court, but I know you can do better. Remember that you are fighting for Dallas."

Cuban's words were straightforward, as his personality has always been.

"This is a small gift for you."

As Cuban spoke, he had the staff open one of the large boxes.

Inside were brand-new computers.

"These are the latest Lenovo laptops. They are a great company, and their products are great too."

Cuban said.

Lenovo's retail sales of all products in the United States are much lower than in other countries, but its reputation is very good.

These laptops cost just over a thousand dollars each, and fifteen of them cost less than twenty thousand dollars. It was indeed a small gift.

However, the size of the gift doesn't matter. The fact that the players received a gift from the team owner was something worth commemorating in itself.

Cuban then had the staff open the second box.

When the second box was opened, the players were dazzled by a golden light.

Cuban had actually brought the championship trophy they won in 2011 to the training facility!

"I heard that Tang and Ad had championship trophy tattoos on their arms, so I brought you the real thing."

"My baby."

Nowitzki had a sweet smile on his face.

The championship journey five years ago was his sweetest memory, and he would never forget it.

As he spoke, he walked forward and began to touch it.

After winning the NBA championship trophy, there would be a routine championship parade, and then it would be placed in a showroom for exhibition.

The last time Nowitzki touched this trophy was during the championship parade five years ago.

Five years had passed, and things had changed. Only he and José Barea remained from that group.

A cheer then rang out in the training facility.

The players swarmed up.

This was the first time most of them had the opportunity to touch the championship trophy.

This gift was much more valuable than the computers just now.

Butler also went up, and he looked complicated when he touched the championship trophy.

There was excitement, but also loss.

He was excited that he had the opportunity to touch it, but lost because it didn't belong to him.

"Guys, the series isn't over yet. I believe in you, you can bring back the championship trophy that belongs to this team."

After the players had all touched it enough, Cuban continued.

There was a burst of shouting in the training facility.

Carlisle was also rarely excited.

Cuban had even pulled out this big move, he had to win the fourth game no matter what!

Cuban left, and the championship trophy was taken away with him.

This thing was priceless, and it was impossible to actually put it in the training facility.

But having seen it and touched it was enough, and the Mavericks' morale was higher than ever before.

During training, the shouts in the training facility never stopped.

After training, Butler stayed behind for extra practice.

He didn't finish training until after 2 a.m.

After taking a shower, he took out the computer that Cuban had given him.

He was a training fanatic, and usually all he did was play games and train.

But last summer at the Hard Work Brothers training camp, because of the hurricane, he played 2k with Tang Tian and Walker for several days.

So, he had another leisure activity in his life, playing 2k.

He had already started downloading the game before the extra training, and it was downloaded by now.

He installed it, and then opened the game.

Playing a couple of games appropriately was a good way to relax after training.

The game started, but he found that there were problems with lag after playing for a while, and the bottom back of the computer was very hot.

As a result, playing a game was unspeakably uncomfortable.

"What garbage."

He threw the laptop directly into the closet.

The quality of this laptop was too bad.

After changing his clothes, he didn't bother with the laptop anymore.

Although the laptop was bad, the championship trophy that Cuban brought still inspired him.

He could play better, and no matter what, he had to win a game against Tang Tian.

Two days later, the game between the Pelicans and the Mavericks kicked off at the American Airlines Center.

This was the Pelicans' series point game. If they won this game, they would sweep the Mavericks and advance to the second round.

This was also the Mavericks' last stand, and they had no way out.

The American Airlines Center was crowded with fans holding up a large number of signs.

In addition to defending the home court, there were also many signs such as "Next Stop New Orleans" and "0 to 3 Reverse Sweep".

Dallas fans also knew that this game was a matter of life and death, and they brought out everything they could use.

Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, the players from both sides entered the arena one after another.

Stevens observed the state of the Mavericks' players at this time.

Sure enough, Tang Tian was right again.

The Mavericks' players were all very excited, and this game would be more difficult than the previous three games.

During the pre-game opening ceremony, the cheers were deafening when the Mavericks' players came out.

It was also at this time that the fans noticed that there was an adjustment to the Mavericks' lineup.

Deron, who had not performed well before, was no longer starting, and Jennings became the team's starting point guard.

This was Carlisle's change, and it also made the fans feel excited.

No destruction, no construction. Change was needed in desperation, which was a positive signal.

Embiid won the jump ball against Davis, opening the curtain on the fourth game of the series.

Nowitzki came up and broke through Davis head-on, hitting a fadeaway jumper to score the first points for the Mavericks.

Tang Tian retaliated with a three-threat breakthrough layup.

But in the turn, Harris hit a mid-range shot despite Holiday's help defense.

Davis received an assist from Tang Tian and forced Nowitzki to foul under the basket, making both free throws to continue scoring.

Jennings' three-pointer came back short, but Butler flew to grab the offensive rebound and forced Jokic to foul, also making both free throws!

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 32 to 26, with the Mavericks leading.

Although it was unknown why, the Mavericks showed a completely different state tonight than in the previous three games!

Stevens stood up from the bench with a tactical board in his hand, his brows furrowed.

After watching this quarter, there was no problem with the Pelicans' offensive and defensive state.

On the other hand, the Mavericks were definitely performing above their level tonight.

It seemed that, as Tang Tian said, the series might really be going back to New Orleans!
