It didn't take many words. Just the simple statement, "Dirk, you're the core of the offense; you should be more decisive," was enough for Nowitzki to understand everything.
He was low-key and composed, friendly and open-minded—not the type to hold a grudge.
When he was traded to the Phoenix Suns, he had already mentally prepared himself to be the team's second-in-command.
He hadn't expected this kind of attitude from Hardaway.
He nodded at Hardaway, giving him a look of understanding, then turned to Chen Yu and said, "Thank you."
'He guessed that Chen Yu must have spoken with Hardaway on behalf of the management.'
'Otherwise, how could someone who was just traded here be made the core of the team?'
"I'm heading to China for a while," Chen Yu added. "You two are the heart of this team. If any issues arise, you need to communicate and sort them out quickly."
