On June 24, 1992, the NBA Rookie Conference was held as scheduled, and the two new teams of the NBA, Magic and the Timberwolves, were signed by the champion and Tanhua, and finally the Magic undoubtedly won the promising super center Shaquille O'Neal, and the Timberwolves selected the only college student in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, that is, the "Dream Team", the big center Christian Leitner, and the list was lucky to be picked by the Hornets, who ranked seventh from the bottom last season. They drafted big center Alonzo Mourning, while the Mavericks used this crucial No. 4 pick to take out Ohio State University guard Jim Jackson.

If you look closely at the above paragraph, you will find that the three players who are higher in the order than Jackson are all centers, in other words, Jim Jackson is recognized as the best guard of the year!

Jackson is 198 cm tall, serving as the second position, and is a player full of honors in high school and college, the honors will not be listed, just say, his No. 22 jersey has been retired by Ohio State University, Jackson's physical condition can only be regarded as above average, not particularly outstanding, but he will occasionally contribute a violent dunk, his killer feature lies in his shooting, his medium and long-distance shooting is very accurate, and the grasp of shooting opportunities is very good, running tricky, often turning around, I ran out of the vacancy, and my defensive and assist abilities are also above average in the league, and my personal personality is confident and stubborn, and I belong to the kind that never retreats, and the game character is full of passion! Jackson's joining made the Mavericks ecstatic, and from the technical and statistical analysis, Jackson is the best choice for the team's second-generation cornerstone, and now he is almost on the court to inspect the goods.

Of course, the Mavericks also have a first-round pick that came from trading Donald, but due to the Knicks' excellent record, this first-round pick only became the No. 30 pick, and the Mavericks used this pick to select Shaun Lucas, a forward from the University of Arizona.

Lucas is 208 cm tall and plays the fourth or fifth position, like White and Smith before him, Lukes has excellent physical fitness and strong body, but the big center is shorter, has a good shooting percentage under the basket, and can average nearly 17 points and grab 8 rebounds per game in college.

The main player of the new season is undoubtedly the development of Jim Jackson, but just as the new season is about to begin, something goes wrong! Jackson is more precise, it is Jackson's agent Matt Termini who is dissatisfied with the team's 4-year $10 million rookie contract, and has a dispute with the team owner Carter, at that time the NBA did not stipulate a rookie contract, but the NBA has formed its own unspoken rules for so many years, the general lottery show is to sign a four-year contract, and the first round is later and the second round to sign a three-year contract, such as the champion O'Neal signed a four-year $17.5 million contract, Alonzo Mourning, The four-year, $14 million contract was signed, and the team's other rookie, Lucas, signed a three-year contract worth $1.47 million with the team.

This is the unspoken rule of the NBA, no one has ever broken it before, let alone millions of dollars, even if it is hundreds of thousands of dollars, these people who have never had an income before have never seen it, so it is generally given by the team, without losing the qualifications, and the rookies are generally signed, but on the contrary, the Mavericks met a hard stubble, (this Mark Termini later became the chief adviser to the most "notorious" agent in the league, Rich Paul) Termini asked for a price of 21 million for 6 years!

Termini is hard, how hard is it? The contract tug-of-war between the two parties was not finalized until the start of the season, and in the end, when the season started, Termini would rather let Jackson sit in the stands than sign a 4-year, $10 million contract!

Married to all of them, but they can't pass the door, plus the team's important substitute Leaf, after joining the Mavericks, he has been reimbursed for the injury season for three consecutive years, and he hasn't played a single game, and the team's morale has been seriously hit, not to mention, the team has sent away the façade Blackman in order to rebuild, and the strength has dropped greatly! Now there is only one qualified player left in the team, Derek Haber!

For the sake of the record, the team had to sign a large number of players to poke the jujube tree one by one. So, the 1992-1993 Mavericks had a slew of players you hadn't heard of appearing on the Mavericks' roster.

Brian Howard, who played only 27 games last season in free agency, became the team's starting three in the opener this season, and has maintained his career for two years, averaging 6.5 points and 3.1 rebounds per game this season while shooting 44.2 percent from the field.

Walter Bond, a free agency signing this season and the team's starting point guard in the team's opener, contributed 74 of his 153 games in his three-year career and 38 of his 42 career starts this season with the Mavericks, averaging a career-high 8.0 points per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the field.

The starters are like that, not to mention the rotation, in addition to Randy White and Doug Smith, there are also a large number of temporary workers such as Tracy Moore, Donald Hodge, Walter Palmer, Latizau Kurcic, Dexter Kaibridge, etc., the players are like this, and the team's record is even more miserable, after three consecutive kneeling wins, Terry Davis's 35 points and 17 rebounds won one, and then knelt for 12 games in a row. After that, he won one more game thanks to the outbursts of Sean Lukes and Walter Bond, and then, 15 consecutive kneeling games, 32 games, the Mavericks only won two of them! It's really out of the sky! The kneeling knees are calloused!

Head coach Adubatu was fired at 2-27, and assistant coach Jean Hurd, who had played in the league for 11 seasons and had 787 regular-season games, became the interim coach. But it is clear that Hurd has no power to change the tragedy.

In the 33rd game, the Mavericks relied on Harbour's 26 points and 11 assists to win the Pistons, and then another wave of eight consecutive kneeling, and then, relying on Lukes's 25 points, Harbour's 22 points and 13 assists, and Terry Davis's 16 rebounds, narrowly beat the Pacers by 1 point, and the Mavericks knelt for eight games in a row and finally stood up!

Goddess of Bad Luck: Did I get you up? Kneel for me!

Maverick: Okay.

Then, kneeling at home, away from home, strong team kneeling, weak team kneeling, field kneeling, no matter who it is, kneel first for respect, a wave of more tragic, creating a record in team history of 19 consecutive kneeling surge! At the time, 19 kneeling was the fifth-longest consecutive kneeling game in the NBA.

The Mavericks' sparse record reminds fans of a distant NBA historical record, that is, the 76ers' worst record of 9 wins and 73 kneels in history set in 1972-1973, and this season's Mavericks are very promising to break him, after 63 games, the Mavericks' record is 4 wins and 57 knees.

Fortunately, the Mavericks, who have been favored by the goddess of bad luck in recent years, finally impressed the lady luck with calloused knees this season, and the turning point came on March 3, 1993, when Carter, the owner of the team who was about to go crazy, finally met Matt Termini's contract, Jim Jackson had to play, and two days later against the Rockets, Jackson played for the first time for the team, as the starting No. 2 position, played 26 minutes, got 6 points and 4 assists on 3-of-8 shooting, and faced the Rockets back-to-back the next day, Jackson scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals on 7-of-21 shooting, and as the game progressed, Jackson's condition was getting better and better, and the team's morale was also shocked!

Obviously, this season's Mavericks don't want to make the playoffs, just hope to avoid creating a new embarrassing record and a new low record, Jackson helped the Mavericks win three of the five games after 19 consecutive kneeling, and Jackson contributed 17 points, 12 points and 27 points in these three games, at this time, the Mavericks' record has come to 7-59.

After a wave of four consecutive knees, the Mavericks defeated the SuperSonics 109-107, Jackson scored 18 points, and the Mavericks also won the eighth game of the season, and in the final sixth game of the season, the Mavericks won the Nuggets, and Jackson scored 20 of them, and the Mavericks tied the record of the lowest record in NBA history. After three consecutive defeats, the Mavericks won all the last two games of the season, and Jackson scored a season-high 32 points and 23 points respectively, including 20+ points in the last seven games of the season.

Jackson returned to 28 games and helped the Mavericks win 7 games, of course, it is worth mentioning that the time period when Jackson played, in which the playoff threshold has basically been settled, some playoff teams inevitably released water, giving the Mavericks a chance, and finally the Mavericks set the worst record in team history with 11 wins and 71 losses, And firefighting pioneer Jackson averaged 16.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, while the only quasi-star-level guard in the team Haber averaged 18.2 points and 5.4 assists per game.

The Mavericks have as many as 11 people in the whole season, and the number of starts has been more than 10 times, from this number, you can see how chaotic the Mavericks are this season.

The first-to-last record in the league allowed the Mavericks to get the overall No. 31 pick in the second round in 1993 and a precious 4 good pick, and the Mavericks ushered in the hope of turning around.

The Mavericks used this second-round pick to select guard Lucios Harris, who is 196 cm tall and has good defensive ability, but the offense is average, especially the shooting is poor, basically relying on running and layups, obviously Harris is not the main dish of the Mavericks, this No. 4 pick is.

The Magic, who won the champion pick last year, got the champion pick again this season, and the Mavericks played like that bird last season, and as a result, they all drew the first and fourth picks in the two years, you say it's annoying, the Magic is in the top pick, and there is no doubt that they won the top pick - Chris Webb, who is the leader of the Michigan Five Tigers, is the main player in the fourth and fifth positions, the 76ers and the Warriors got the list of scouts, and the 76ers selected the talented big center Sean Bradley, The Warriors chose the NCAA dominant forward Anfernee Hardaway, but when Anfernee Hardaway was drafted, he immediately made a trade with the Magic, sending Hardaway and three future first-round picks to the Magic for the long-coveted Chris Webber.

The Mavericks selected Jamal Mashburn from the University of Kentucky with the fourth pick under multiple name considerations.

Marsh himself is 203 cm tall, serving as a small forward, from the point of view of appearance, he is by no means mediocre, the heavenly court is full, the ground pavilion, the cheeks are full, the eyes are like rakshasas, he grinned happily, and there is a big gap between his teeth, and the nickname of the rivers and lakes is also extremely simple and rude, in one sentence - "Monster Mashburn".

Although Mashburn is controversial in appearance, but Marsh standing on the court has greatly appreciated the Mavericks management and fans with his invincible offense, his physical fitness, delicate hand work, eighteen kinds of martial arts on the offensive end, proficient in everything, especially the ability to play with one hand and back is unguardable, and the dummy jump shot with his back turned around has the charm of Jordan, he is the most feared offensive kaleidoscope of that era, one more thing, in the late nineties and early new century, although Grant Hill also emerged, Paul Pierce and a large number of other No. 3 generals, but Marshburn's position in the No. 3 position at that time was undoubtedly NO1! James' draft template for the year, three, the upper limit is Magic Johnson, the lower limit is Scott Pippen, and the best template, Jamal Mashburn! In his rookie season, Marshburn averaged 19.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and scored 36 points in the fourth game of his career!

And the team's other hopeful star Jim Jackson's performance is also satisfactory, after last season's tempering, Jackson in the second season of his career, his performance has been greatly improved, averaging 19.2 points per game, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists, shooting 44.5%, Jackson, a sophomore, has the potential to become a star guard in the league! On March 11, 1994, the Mavericks lost to the Clippers, Jackson played a career masterpiece, 15 of 33 hit a personal high of 37 points, 12 rebounds, 9 front boards, 8 assists and 3 steals in the first two seasons.

There is no doubt that the Mavericks decided to rebuild with Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn as the core second group, which coincided with the decline of the meritorious veteran Derrick Harbour, although the 33-year-old Haber is still the team's starting guard this season, but the average points per game have fallen to the lowest 11.6 points and 3.5 assists since playing the main team, and the shooting percentage has also plunged to only 38%. At that time, the Knicks' main guard Doug Rivers was injured, and the Knicks were desperate to find a replacement this season, so they took a fancy to Haber, who was still at the end of his career, so the Knicks traded small forward Tony Campbell and a 1994 first-round pick for Derrick Haber.

After coming to the Knicks, Haber's state has improved greatly compared to before, helping the Knicks win the Eastern Conference championship, although he finally lost to the Houston Rockets 3:4 on the Finals stage, but Haber hit 17 three-pointers in the Finals stage, setting a historical record, this record was not broken by Ray Allen in the 2008 Finals.

The Mavericks traded Harbour for forward Tony Campbell, who has averaged 20+ points per game for the Timberwolves for two consecutive seasons, but this season's Campbell is in the penultimate season of his career, averaging 9.7 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in the Mavericks this season.

In terms of the team's head coach, Hurd is obviously not suitable, he was laid off at the end of the season, Quinn Buckner took office, but this change of coach is a change of soup and not a change of medicine, Hurd has more than 700 NBA player experience, but before serving as the head coach of the Mavericks, he has never had experience in coaching the team, Buckner is similar, he played in the NBA for 10 years in the playing days, has 719 games of experience, but the coaching experience is also zero.

Although the Mavericks have two hopefuls Jackson and Mashburn, it is clear that they have no better players in other positions, last year's rookie Sean Lucas is one of the few players on the team who can get it, but this season Lucas missed eight games due to injury at the beginning of the season, and only played 47 games due to injuries throughout the season, averaging 11.4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, so although the Mavericks have hope of rebuilding, this season, the slogan is still -

The eldest brother is above, and the younger brother kneels first for respect.
