Chapter 239: The Heavenly God Descends to Earth, and the King Returns

The Mavericks did their daily workout, and Sabonis showed everyone what he was capable of.

Halfway through training, Sun Hao felt that the topic of "what would Sabonis be like if he entered the NBA at a young age" was discussed.

Because Sabonis is so comprehensive, he basically has all the skills that the big man has, he moves fast, has a lot of experience, and can even give you a three-point once in a while.

If he enters the NBA at a young age, he has a chance to become a legend at the center position like O'Neal.

The elder Nelson did his best, training halfway, and then training half, allowing Sabonis to play the role of O'Neill.

This is a very common thing in NBA teams.

As is well known, Maddie was pulled by the Spurs to play the role of James in training at the end of his career.

It's just that Sabonis is indeed old, and he doesn't have O'Neill's explosiveness, and the effect of training is not particularly good.

"How's Munch's going?"

Old Nelson turned to ask Little Nelson at this time.

"If it goes well, I'll be in Dallas by the end of this month."

"So fast?"

Nelson Sr. was a little surprised.

The job of the general manager is better done by his own son.

After the All-Star break, the Mavericks' record had some ups and downs.

Sabonis's injury still had a big impact on him, and in the back, the old Nelson simply let him take a break to recuperate from his injury and give the opportunity to Wang Zhizhi and Collins.

With the opportunity to play, the two also have their own performances, which is also a good thing for the Mavericks in the long run.

And at this time, Sun Hao also learned from Nelson Jr. that Battle was coming to the Mavericks.

He was still a little surprised by the news, the historical Battle went to the Nuggets.

It seems that his appearance has changed a bit of a lot.

But it's understandable to think about it, as the Mavericks themselves are interested in Chinese players.

As for Battle, the history of going to the Nuggets is not because he chose the Nuggets, but because the Nuggets chose him.

If the Mavericks want to get him, as long as they can get contact, it must be easy to get.

Because from Battle's point of view, when you are abroad, what reason is there to refuse to play with your teammates on the national team?

And knowing that Battle is going to join, he also knows the Mavericks' thinking this season.

The Mavericks can now play center, Lafrentz, Sabonis, Battle, Collins, and Wang Zhizhi, who can also play the No. 5 position, a team of 5 people can play center!

This is a wheel war with O'Neill!

At the end of February, Sun Hao met Battle in the locker room.

Battle looked a little wooden, but when he really met Sun Hao and Wang Zhizhi, he talked a lot.

They helped the Chinese team win the Asian Championship together in Shanghai, and they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who fought in the Kang Road.

Nelson Sr. was a little impatient, and when he trained, he directly asked Battle to play the role of O'Neal.

Compared with Sabonis, Battle, who is at the peak of his body, is obviously closer to O'Neal.

And there was an unexpected scene during training.

Collins, a muscular man, tried to stop Battle from scoring after his defense was out of position, but Battle didn't move much when he hung up.

"What does this guy usually eat?"

This scene stunned old Nelson.

Corinth's size, although he can't carry O'Neill, is also a serious black and rough man.

Battle's static power is not only strong, it's a little terrifying.

"I think in terms of static power alone, only Shaq is stronger than him in this alliance."

After watching the training, Nelson Sr. was beaming.

What he hears is different from what he sees, and he now feels that the team has earned this signing.

On the second day of Battle's arrival in Dallas, the Mavericks played the Pacers.

It was also Battle's NBA debut.

Three Chinese players gathered in one team, and the attention of this game can be imagined.

The Mavericks outscored the Pacers overall and took the initiative from the start.

However, O'Neal Jr. on the Pacers' side played well, whether it was against Lafrenz or Sabonis, he played well.

The score was 32-27 at the end of the first quarter, with the Mavericks leading by just five points.

Battle got the start of the second quarter.

His appearance also made the domestic fans cheer.

Before last season, there was not a single Chinese player in the NBA.

But after this moment, there are already 4 Chinese players in the NBA.

Battle has the strength and strength of the battle, and his weakness is the slow movement speed.

The Pacers themselves have a slow offensive tempo, which allows his weaknesses to be masked and his strengths magnified.

And to the surprise of Nelson Sr., Battle's back-to-back turning skills under the basket are excellent, and he is more than just a defensive sapper!

This allowed Nelson Sr. to keep him on the court for more time.

Then, again, the surprise came.

After the substitution period, the main players of both sides returned, and Battle was still left on the field.

As a result, little O'Neal, who was in a hot state before, was directly deflated in the face of Battle on the inside!

O'Neal Jr.'s technical characteristics are a bit similar to Garnett's, with a top-level body, but his style of play is on the outside.

His strongest move is a back-turn layup, or a pullback-step jumper.

Before, whether he faced Lafrenz or Sabonis, he was able to switch freely.

But when he met Battle, there was basically no way to turn around under the basket, and Battle became a wall in front of him, and he could only retreat outside!

This has greatly reduced his offensive efficiency.

The Mavericks also took advantage of the situation to play a wave of climaxes and pull the score away.

However, when he hit the back, Battle's weaknesses were also exposed.

His speed is too slow, and he is still in his own half after the fast attack.

Including the retreat, he will always be the last to return to the half.

However, the Mavericks also paid a small price to sign him, with those previous performances, and what more bikes.

In the end, the Mavericks won a big win at home.

Battle played a full 15 minutes in his NBA debut, with five points and six rebounds, as well as a lot of contributions that weren't reflected in the stats on the defensive end.

When the locker room summed up after the game, Nelson Sr. even praised him by name.

"He brought toughness to us."

That's what old Nelson had to say.

This is also a very good evaluation.

Because of the style of play, the Mavericks are always said to be soft by the media.

But Battle's body and style of play, which are full of male hormones, successfully make up for this link.

Time flies, and it's mid-April in the blink of an eye.

The second season of Sun Hao's NBA career is coming to an end.

Before the All-Star break, he successfully promoted the long-range marksman to the Hall of Fame.

After the All-Star break, he also managed to upgrade his mid-range shooting to the Silver level, and his unlimited range is close to Hall of Fame.

Let's open the list of his attributes.

Height: 190cm; Weight: 83kg

Strength: 85 ; Speed: 80; Dexterity: 75 ; Bounce: 77; Fitness: 86; Ball quotient: 93

Ball control: 84; Passing: 61; Dunk: 66; Layup: 81; Middle distance: 71; Three points: 90

Defense: 75; Caps: 62; Steals: 78; Reb: 62;

Compared to a year ago, he has grown to 1.90 meters tall, and all his attributes have improved, including his dunks and defense.

Of course, the most obvious improvement is his mid-range and three-point range.

If he played Curry favorably last season, he is closer to Durant this season.

And as he played more and more, his badges accumulated more.

Bronze badges: aggressive, veteran dribbling;

Silver Badge: Mid-Range Marksman, Catch-and-Shoot Scorer, Impregnable Blocker, Pick-and-Roll Master, Pick-and-Roll Dodge, Fast Break Finisher, First Step Master;

Gold Badge: Infinite Range, Basketball IQ;

Hall of Fame Badges: Long-range marksman;

Other badges: Glory Man

Halo: Rookie of the Year (May 2, 2001 – May 2, 2002)

Stadium bonds: Nowitzki, Nash, Yi Jianlian, Easley;

The NBA's regular season is also coming to an end at this time, and the competition for playoff spots and rankings has entered the white heat.

And, like last year, the records between the teams in the West are close.

Especially between the top four, except for the Kings, who have locked the first place in the league, there is a situation where the Lakers, Mavericks and Spurs have the same record.

This makes the final ranking full of suspense.

And in it, the second and third places in the west are not wanted to go.

The bottom half of the standings has been decided, with the Timberwolves in sixth place and the Trail Blazers in seventh.

The Trail Blazers don't need much, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and whoever fights suffers.

There is also the Timberwolves, whose record has fallen, but their joint defense is still the best in the league.

It was against this backdrop that the teams were in a lot of shape on the last day.

The Spurs played the Warriors, and Popovich was stunned to let all five starters rest and go to the bench.

As a result, the top four teams in the Western Conference regular season lost to the Warriors, who are at the bottom of the Western Conference.

Of course, like last year, this behavior has also been complained about by many teams.

This regular season is a joke!

However, Popovich miscalculated in the end this time, because the Lakers lost to the Wizards over there!

It's not like the Lakers are playing.

The Lakers never pick an opponent in the playoffs, and they definitely have a better record.

But in this game, I don't know who pressed the switch of Jordan's "God descends to earth".

The old rascal exploded with 51 points in this game, setting a new single-game scoring record in his Wizards career!

And Jordan cut 50+ at the age of 39, which also refreshed the NBA50+ age!

It's incredible!

But if you're a Wizards fan and pull the timeline back to Jordan's performance after Jordan's comeback in March, you don't think it's too weird.

Before the All-Star break, Jordan had only scored 40+ once.

But since his comeback, he has already gotten three times, including one back-to-back 40+.

When you're old enough to pay back a loan to God or something, Jordan, 39, tells people why he's called an old rascal.

Sun Hao watched this live broadcast, and after watching it, he felt that everyone, including himself, underestimated Jordan during the Wizards.

Age and injuries limit Jordan's longevity, but they don't limit his ability to burst out in a short period of time.

But then again, these data are actually Jordan during the Wizards period in history.

The difference is that Jordan was alone at that time, fighting to get the team into the playoffs until the season was reimbursed.

But now, Yao Ming's presence, coupled with the addition of Mobley, allows him to rest assured that he can recover from his injuries in advance.

And when he was away, the Wizards' record was also very stable, and he could not only recuperate in advance, but also be relieved to recuperate boldly.

As a result, Jordan staged a series of good performances such as the return of the king and the descent of the gods, and left the two words of feelings behind him.

The nickname of the god of basketball is not earned by feelings.

However, this game is not just Jordan's 50+.

On the Lakers' side, the playoffs are approaching, and they are fighting for the playoff rankings, and the OK combination has shown their best form.

O'Neal had 32 points and 20 rebounds, Kobe Bryant had 38 points, and the two combined for 70 points!

Even if Jordan cut 50+, this game is in the final moments.

And the Wizards can win, and it has something to do with Yao Ming and Mobley.

Yao Ming defended the last round, giving O'Neal three risks in one round, stunned the Wizards fans at home.

Mobley even received Jordan's three-pointer at the last moment, which ended the game.

In Jordan's absence, the rest of the Wizards were growing.

This Wizards team has a lot to do in the East!

The Lakers dropped to fourth place after the loss, and the Mavericks were in third place because of the win-loss relationship.

With the end of the last day of competition, the final standings of the East and West were also released.

In the East, the Celtics are at the top of the table.

Although the record is a little worse than the Kings, Carlisle has already set his sights on the best head coach.

In second place is the Nets.

The addition of Kidd really helped the team make a big comeback, and they improved from 26 wins to 52 wins.

However, Kidd's language is probably taught by a physical education teacher.

Because this situation is called a 180° turnover, not 360°, which is 360 degrees equal to no movement.

The Wizards finished third.

The addition of Yao Ming and Mobley allowed Jordan to avoid season reimbursement and made their fate completely different from what it was in history.

The Pistons finished fourth.

If you want to talk about turning over, the Pistons also have a big turnaround with the Nets.

Ben Wallace is undoubtedly the team's biggest gain.

He is averaging 7.6 points, 13 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 3.5 blocks per game this season.

If he had missed out on the Defensive Player of the Year race last season because of his team's record, he would have become an absolute favorite this season.

The fifth to eighth teams are the Magic, 76ers, Raptors, and Pacers.

But at this time, I have to mention an unlucky Egg Hornet.

Because of the regional system, they could have ranked fifth in the East, but they were forced to squeeze to 9th in the East and missed the playoffs.

Charlotte's fans almost didn't squirt the league out.

What's more, the mayor who began to spray Charlotte for inaction made the team move out of this troubled city sooner.

Sometimes you really don't understand the American way of thinking.

Just like the great parades in history because of George Floyd, when their mayor said that the police were not cracking down, the police could square dance with the citizens on the march.

The eastern side is ranked out, and the first-round matchups are also released.

Celtics vs. Pacers, Nets vs. Raptors, Wizards vs. 76ers, Pistons vs. Magic.

Among these four groups of matchups, the last two groups are absolutely full of highlights.

Jordan and Iverson's playoff encounter, Maddy's first trip to the playoffs.

If it is changed to the future, this is the place where the traffic is concentrated and exploded.

On the western side, the 1~8 places are the Kings, Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, SuperSonics, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Jazz.

After the ranking is determined, the western side is also determined.

It's not that the Mavericks' opponent in the first-round series is the Timberwolves.
