On the side of the tennis charity court outside Dallas, people saw the legendary star being enthusiastic about the new No. 1 pick. Dirk Nowitzki, who is 2.13 meters tall, recently highly praised the basketball talent of Mavericks rookie Cooper Flag during his personal charity event. Although the Duke graduate, who just turned 18, did not participate in the tennis confrontation, he was present to support children's charity projects throughout the whole process.

According to observers, Nowitzki is particularly concerned about Flag's precocious performance in the field of competition. Despite claiming to be not a fanatical audience in the NCAA game, the sixth-ranked player in history has deliberately tracked Flag's field statistics. As an all-around fighter during college, Flag's outstanding performance ranked first in the team in four major statistics obviously left a deep impression on this senior.

User expectations: Mavericks fans have witnessed their commentary talent

When asked about their career advice for rookies, Nowitzki recalled his confusion when he entered the league in early 1998. From a newcomer who is uncertain whether he can get a second contract to a legend of winning the single-core championship, the German tank attributes his success to the ongoing support system in Dallas.

Key variables of the Western Conference pattern

Speaking of the team's prospects for the season, observers noticed Nowitzki repeatedly emphasized the importance of health factors. Regarding the Mavericks, who have a luxurious frontcourt lineup, he specifically pointed out that Davis' physical condition and Lefly's injury recovery will be the winners and losers, and believes that if all members are kept healthy, this team with balanced offense and defense will have the depth to reach the Western Conference championship.

As the new season approaches, basketball fans will witness the new performance of the No. 41 legend in the commentary seat, and whether his optimistic genius rookie can continue his dominant performance in college has become the most popular storyline in the league.
