Nowitzki led the Dallas Mavericks to the finals last season, and all the players in Dream Seven knew Nowitzki's ability. Chris paul said: "People know Dirk very well. He is one of the best players in the NBA and the best player in the World Championships. "
Dirk can now be compared with Kobe Bryant, O 'Neal, James and Yao Ming. Hinrich said: "He is an incredible player. He can make trouble for any opponent, whether in the NBA or in international competitions. He has experience in international competitions and works well with his teammates. He will bring me real challenges. "
Nowitzki helped the Dallas Mavericks win the NBA Western Championship last season, which was the first time in the Mavericks' 26-year history. He did his best in six games against Miami Heat. Nowitzki is the best player in Dallas. He is the core of the German team in Japan. Last season, Nowitzki averaged 24.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and scored double-doubles 46 times. He assists the most, steals and mistakes the least.
In the last game of the World Championships, Germany defeated Angola after three overtime, and he scored 47 points, including 17 points. Against Spain, he was limited to 14 points, and Germany lost to Spain 7 1-92.
If Nowitzki scores another 47 points in the quarter-finals, the United States, which has won six games in a row, is likely to lose. Nowitzki said: "Obviously, the American team is very urgent for the championship. Everything is hard to say. I will go all out in every game. "
Four years ago, Germany, led by Nowitzki, won the bronze medal in the Indianapolis World Championships. Now their goals are steadily improving. If they hadn't lost to Spain in the group stage, they would have avoided the United States, and maybe the final would have been met. Nowitzki has many American friends. In their 78-77 victory over Nigeria, Nowitzki won the championship with American coach Kathy Smith, who is the coach of the Mavericks. German defender Herb said: "He will be the protagonist, and he will attack the American team, but we are not a one-man team, and he will not be alone."
In addition to Nowitzki, their striker Okuraja 1995-98 studied at the University of North Carolina, and he helped the team reach the NCAA finals twice. Okuraja, who averaged 10 in Germany, said: "It's crazy. We hope we can win. "
This game is still a revenge war. Nowitzki lost to Miami Heat led by Wade in the finals. Wade knows Nowitzki too well. He believes that if the United States wants to win, it must guard against Nowitzki. Wade said: "It is difficult to defend Nowitzki in the NBA, but it will be more difficult in the World Championships. He has more room to play than in the Mavericks. "
Nowitzki can not only score inside, but also have excellent long-range shooting skills. If he can't open the situation on the inside, his three-pointers on the outside will also cause trouble for the US team. Nowitzki hit 30% of 3-pointers 10 in the World Championships. Nowitzki said: "There will be no one-on-one or two-on-two defense in the game. There is no defensive three seconds in international competitions, so there are always many people inside, and there is not much room for play. "

Dirk Nowitzki
Location: forward center
Birthday: June 65438+September 78.
Height: 2.13m
Weight:111.1kg
Nationality: Germany
Selected as the "second team" of the 2002 NBA.
Selected as the "Third Team" of 2006 54 38+0 NBA.
Participate in the 2000 All-Star Weekend "Rookie Challenge"
Participated in the 2000 All-Star Weekend "Shooting Contest" and won the second place.
In 2005, he won the first place in the "three-point match" of all-star weekend.
1999-2000 season, he hit 1 16 three-pointers, ranking 15 in the NBA.
Comprehensive evaluation] After Nash and Finley left, Dirk carried the banner of the Mavericks alone. After several years of experience, he has grown from a teenager who just entered the NBA to an all-around superstar. He is the representative of the most comprehensive player in the NBA. Outside the three-point line, in the penalty area, near the top of the arc and corner kick, he can shoot and score. He is good at three-pointers, breakthrough layups, dunks, pitches and hooks. He is the absolute core of the calf. The top pitchers and scoring machines in the league and the successful model of foreign players in NBA have greatly improved their leadership ability, but there are still some problems in defense and critical moments.
[Attack] He was born to score goals, with a height of 2. 13 and a soft touch, which everyone envies. He is every team's nightmare. Jump shot: signature jump shot, standard posture, beautiful arc, perfect shot. Look at his jump shot, it is so comfortable and relaxed. When a big man jumps high, his wrist shakes slightly, and the ball flies in golden proportion, the defender has no choice but to wait for the natural sound of brushing the net. Who can stop the jump shot with 2. 10+? The jump shot near the free throw line and the 45-degree angle are his best areas. In addition, he has a unique skill of 3 points, which makes the opponent hard to prevent. The champion of the 3-point contest is not worthy of the name.
[Defense] Dirk's defense can only be said to be average, even a little biased, but he has made great progress in the past two years and can basically be at a medium level in the league. Perhaps the attack greatly consumes the opponent's physical strength, coupled with the Mavericks' strategy, Dirk's defensive task is generally very easy and will not become a loophole for the team. As a big player, Dirk's cover and steals are kept at a little more than 1, which is basically a coordinated operation. In addition, his rebounding ability is also good.
[Location] Dirk is not a standard power forward, but a big pitcher with a certain low position and strong hitting ability. Sometimes I make a guest appearance as a center. In fact, it is difficult to define Dirk's position, which makes defense more difficult. Short guard against him, you can use height jump shot or eat hard with your body; If you defend him high, he can create a breakthrough or jump shot with solid steps. It is worth mentioning that Dirk is comprehensive. After a period of handball practice, Dirk has a strong ball control ability. You can often see him dribbling and shooting at half-time. In addition, Dirk occasionally has a wonderful pass, especially the ball inside. Also, Dirk's free throw is a well-deserved NO 1 among NBA big men. Stable free throws are his weapon to ensure scoring and an important magic weapon for the team to win.
[short experience]
1June 9, 978, Dirk was born in Wü rzburg, a typical European town in southwest Germany. A European town with a population of133,000 has seen the rise of an NBA superstar. Nowitzki's mother was a member of the German national women's basketball team, and her father was an excellent handball player. Dirk practiced handball and tennis when he was a child, and he was quite talented in tennis.
But when the German basketball star holger GerSwider brought him into the world of basketball, he was completely integrated into it. In his own words: "Really find the soul." Coach holger took the initiative to find Nowitzki's parents and promised to bring him into the NBA and become the best German basketball player. So his parents agreed. The coach's special training made his level advance by leaps and bounds, and he made his mark in the German second division at an early age. At this time, his life took a major turning point and was valued by the Mavericks. You have to cross the ocean at an early age. Of course, his parents are reluctant, but he is very persistent about basketball. 1In the summer of 998, dirk nowitzki left his hometown of Fort Ulcz and moved to Dallas. At that time, he was only a 20-year-old child. Nowitzki knew nothing about the United States, Dallas and the alliance he was about to enter. But his belief in basketball made him learn to grow, mature and make progress in a strange country. At this time, he also met steve nash, his best friend in life. Also from different countries, the only difference is that one is a neighbor of the United States and the other is a far, far away Europe.
Nowitzki 1998 landed in the NBA, was selected by Milwaukee Bucks in the first round, and was traded to Dallas Mavericks, where he has been playing ever since. That's how he came to Dallas, where Nowitzki began his dream-chasing journey in the NBA. Facts have proved that he has such ability.
The rookie season averaged 20.4 minutes, 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 8 double-doubles. Since then, it has soared into the sky, and it has formed the "troika" of the Mavericks with friends Nash and boss Finley. They care about Nowitzki's growth as much as big brother. Gradually, Dirk became more and more mature, and Nash and Finley gradually handed over the heavy responsibility to the hope of the Mavericks. Finally, one day Nash left and went to Phoenix, Phoenix. He became the boss and became the absolute core of the team. Nowitzki started his career as the leader of the Mavericks. Then Finley also left the Mavericks and played for eight years. The Mavericks became Nowitzki's only core team. Dirk's leadership is also increasing day by day, and he has been hit again and again. Although he fell, Dirk never gave up, got up and became stronger and more confident. Finally brought the Mavericks into this year's finals. And in the 2006 All-Star Game, he beat all his opponents with excellent performance and won the championship, becoming the highest three-point champion in history. Known as the next big bird, Bird.
[gossip]
Dirk is very talented in music, especially at saxophone and guitar, and he has a song by playing and singing himself. ..
My favorite song is heavy metal rock music. You shook me all night .. and Dirk has signed a contract with Terry's music company to become a real singer.
Dirk is also a playboy off the court. I once competed with my friend Nash for the same girlfriend, but I broke up soon after catching up with him.
Dirk's flowing long hair can be sold by cutting it off. When he first cut his long blond hair into short hair, the cut hair sold for $5,000.
Dirk often plays football, but his level is much worse than that.

Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk Werner Nowitzki
Birthday 1978 June 19
Fort Valts
Played for the Dallas Mavericks in NBA, with a height of 2.13m. He is an all-around striker who can play in any position in the frontcourt (center, power forward, small forward).
Nowitzki was selected by Milwaukee Bucks with the ninth overall pick on 1998, and then traded to Dallas Mavericks, where he exchanged robert traylor with Bucks with the sixth overall pick. Nowitzki has now become one of the best players in the NBA. There are many German players in the league, but Nowitzki became the second German player to lead the team to the finals after Detlef Schrempf in 2006.
Early career
A native of Wü rzburg, Nowitzki comes from a sports family. My father is a handball player, my mother plays for the German national women's basketball team, and my sister also plays in Duquesne University. Nowitzki plays in RG High School. During this period, some universities in the United States also recruited him, and he also carefully considered the invitation of Pennsylvania State University. But all this had to come to an end because of his enlistment and military service (1997.9.1-1998.6.30). However, he can still play basketball well every weekend.
He was first attracted to the NBA team in September, 1997. That year, an NBA team composed of scottie pippen, jason kidd, gary payton and charles barkley came to Germany and played an exhibition match with the German national youth team.
Nowitzki dunked in front of charles barkley in the game. Buckley is very optimistic about this tall and slender German. Soon, he said that if Nowitzki was willing to go to his alma mater Auburn University, he would kindly sponsor it.
But Nowitzki didn't receive an international invitation until 1998. It was 1998, the Nike summer training camp held in San Antonio, Texas, USA in March. In the match between the international team and American teenagers, he led the international youth team to a dazzling victory with 33 points and 14 rebounds.
Sports spirit in ball games
Nowitzki is one of the best shooters in NBA. For a high striker who is 7 feet tall, he can not only score in the middle distance, but also shoot three-pointers on the outside. He is a wizard. His tall figure is quite difficult for many people who defend him, and he is helpless for his back jump shot. Nowitzki's shot, the ball speed is not fast, but the arc is very high, it is difficult to block; And his free throws are even more outstanding (in 2006, his free throw percentage reached 90%). Although Nowitzki has worked hard to improve for years, there are still critics who think he should get more points in the low post with his height. Dirk is probably the most efficient player in the NBA today. He also often gets the ball in the high position and then jumps to the basket to score. This attack routine was particularly prominent last year.
Nowitzki and former teammate Steve Nash have excellent pick-and-roll cooperation. Although there is a lack of Nash's wonderful pass now, Nowitzki has to create more offensive opportunities by himself, but he can handle when to move forward and when to stop jumping shots.
Nowitzki's defense was criticized at the beginning of his career. They even joked that Nowitzki should remove the D from his name and change it to irk (-Dirk, D, the first letter of defense in English-). Because there is no D (defense) in his basketball dictionary. However, under the guidance of current coach avery johnson, Nowitzki's defensive ability has improved obviously. Recently (June 65438 +20061October 6), Nowitzki blocked seven shots, reaching a career high. Nowitzki is the only player in NBA history who scored more than 150 blocked shots in a single season, reaching 100. (2000-200 1 season 15 1 three-pointers10/block)
Nowitzki is often compared with Celtic legend larry bird because of his super scoring ability and accurate shooting ability. Both of them have won the championship of 3-point long-range shooting contest and performed well at the free throw line. However, Bird is excellent in all aspects, rebounding, defense and passing. In particular, Bird averaged 7 assists per game, much higher than Dirk's 3. 1 (2004-2005). And Bird won the honor of Best Newcomer when he first entered the league. Nowitzki was three years younger when he entered the league. He needs more time to study and make progress. Now, Nowitzki has caught up with Bird in scoring, but there is still a gap in rebounding and ball feeling. Nowitzki's average number of rebounds in a season has not exceeded 65,438+00. Compared with Bird, he never averaged 10 rebounds in the first six years of the league.
By the way, Dirk chose the number 4 1 because the number in Germany was 14 in his early years, but after he came to Mavericks, 14 was from robert parker, so he simply changed the position of the number and replaced it with the number 4 1. Now, he still wears 14 jersey for the German national team.

Personal life
In private, the low-key Nowitzki is more willing to protect his private life. In his biography "German prodigy", he mentioned that he once had a girlfriend.
In his spare time, Nowitzki is an excellent saxophonist. Holger geschwindner, his personal trainer, wants to play ball as a way to cultivate his artistic accomplishment. Sometimes Nowitzki's actions on the court are as beautiful as artistic creation.
He is the godfather of the twin daughter of Steve Nash, a good friend and former teammate.
◆ Professional ethics is praised. In an interview with Sport-BILD, a German media in April, 2006, he praised larry bird as an athlete with strong comprehensive strength, professional ethics and belief in winning.
Nowitzki was "spoofed" by the producer in a famous prank program Punk 'd. Good friend Al whitley and former teammate michael finley were also involved. In this bridge, Finley and Nowitzki are eating in a restaurant when a little boy (Rob pinkston) comes in. He recognized Nowitzki and made him sign a bunch of meaningless things (two Lakers hats and a LeBron James jersey).
They are a German music group from Munich, Germany. The band members are all die-hard fans. It goes without saying that they also wrote a song "Dirk, wie ist die Luft dort oben? Dirk, how to float the sky is included in an album by Burli, the world's largest social music platform.
The guest star and teammates Steve Nash and michael finley liked Mike in the movie and played the guitar together.
Nowitzki once used the tune of David Hasselhoff's "Looking for Freedom" to ease the tension standing on the free throw line. This song was a hit in Germany when Nowitzki was a child. During the 2006 finals, a Miami radio station sent photos of hassell Hoff to the Heat fans sitting behind the basketball stand in order to disturb Nowitzki. What's more, as soon as Nowitzki stood at the free throw line, he sang "David Hasselhoff" to divert his attention.
It's all explained, it's an article, not information:
He used to be a tennis player, but he always lost to the same opponent in state competitions and often won the second place. Later, he switched to playing basketball.
When he returns to Germany every summer, Nowitzki always swings a few times on the clay court. "I used to be a top tennis player in Bavaria (Nowitzki's hometown, located in southern Germany). At that time, no one could beat me. " Nowitzki is still proud of his tennis career.
But Nowitzki finally failed to continue his tennis career. What changed his tennis fate was not his "embarrassing" physical condition, but the appearance of a person. This is the same as when Duncan gave up swimming and playing basketball because of Typhoon Hugo.
It was none other than tommy haas, a former German golden boy who changed Nowitzki's life. Now he is very famous in professional tennis. "It was like a nightmare. I lived in his shadow for a whole year. " Nowitzki said, "As long as I met him at that time and the game had not been played, I knew I would lose."
Nowitzki said at the time that he was 14 years old. At that time, although his height had reached 1.95 meters, Nowitzki was still in a hobby stage for basketball. However, after the nightmare of that year, Nowitzki finally decided to give up tennis and concentrate all his energy on basketball. "Now that I think about it, I don't know if I should thank Haas." Nowitzki said, "Without him, I really don't know how to choose."
After bidding farewell to the pain of tennis defeat, Nowitzki gradually found happiness on the basketball court. After two years of training, Nowitzki found his place in a club in Wü rzburg. When Nowitzki 16 years old, Dirk met another life-changing person, his first mentor, ogier Gerswandel.
Hi! Do you want to go to my house? Watch the ball together. Are you interested? "
"Football? Long time no see. Which team? Who are you kicking? "
Nowitzki still remembers what he said on the phone with Nash for the first time, and he himself felt funny. The topic that two basketball players talked about for the first time was actually related to football. "Steve invited me to his house. I know he likes football. He has a brother who seems to play football, "the German said with a smile, showing his two big dies. "He also prepared two pizzas. I didn't like the taste, but I ate them all. That was the first time he invited me to eat pizza, and he seemed to like it very much. "
Nowitzki recalled the time seven years ago, when he had just arrived in Dallas, and everything was strange. Every night, he seldom goes out with other players except listening to saxophone and watching game videos. He also calls his family, but that's all. Finley recalled that Nowitzki had only two words at that time: shyness. Finley said: "he doesn't talk much in training, which is completely different from us." And he hardly dunks in training, just practices shooting. "
In the first season of the Mavericks (1998-99), Nowitzki got a chance to play for about 20 minutes, which was incredible to a newcomer, but Dirk didn't know that Nash was also responsible for it. Nash also just moved from the Suns that season. They are all newcomers, but Nash is good at communication. He suggested Nelson give Nowitzki more playing time, and Nelson accepted. "I only remember that he (Nash) told me to seize the opportunity to show myself, but I had no idea that he advised the head coach to give me more playing time," Nowitzki said. "Steve always helps me, both on and off the court."
Up to now, Nowitzki has been cherishing the team photos taken in his first season in the Mavericks. In the photo, Dirk is standing on Bradley's right, and Nash is sitting in the front row, smirking. At that time, Nash had no long hair and short hair. Nowitzki always joked that Nash's hairstyle was funny at that time, like a peddler selling bobbing dolls outside the stadium.
Love football.
In the days when Nowitzki and Nash first met, the most talked about topics were football and beautiful women.
Anyone who knows Nash knows that Canadians like football and used to be football players. Nash said: "I have watched my brother dribble in front of my eyes since I was a child. He later went to England to play football and developed well. " Actually, not only Nash's brother, but also Nash's father, johnf nash, used to be a football player. Both of them are fans of Tottenham Hotspur. Nash said: "When I was young, my father took me to the stadium to watch older children play football, and gradually I fell in love with football."
Dirk is different. He was born in a small town in Wü rzburg in northern Bavaria, Germany. None of Dirk's family likes football. Mother Helen used to be a German women's basketball player, and father Jorge likes handball. But Dirk is "different". When he was young, he liked handball, football, tennis, even gymnastics and fencing, but he just didn't touch basketball. It was not until 15 years old that he met his first basketball coach, Hogg Gersvenor, a thin old man with gray hair. Dirk said that besides his parents, he is most grateful to coach Hogg in his life. "Without him, I don't think I would be where I am today." Dirk smiled. "My sister always said that my basketball talent is higher than other sports. Steve plays football very well, but I can't compete with him. "
