The ball jumps in the middle of the two sides, Big Ben against Shaun Bradley.

Big Ben looked at the big white bamboo pole opposite, a long bamboo pole that was two heads taller than him.

Sean? Bradley is 2.29 meters tall (3 centimeters taller than Yao Ming, Yao Ming is 2.26 meters), and is ranked third in the NBA (the first oldest person is George Muresan with a height of 2.31 meters, and the second is Manute?). Bol, 2.30 meters tall), joined Birmingham Youth University at the age of 18, where he gained a lot of attention due to his height and quickly broke the NCAA rookie block record, and was also named to the first team of the National Collegiate Team, and the Cougars also led a good 21-13 record under his leadership. In the 90-86 win over Eastern Kentucky, he landed 14 blocks in his own zone against Eastern Kentucky players, tying the NCAA single-game block record held by David Robinson. Over the course of the season, Sean had 14.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.21 blocks.

After a year at the University of Birmingham, he chose to serve the Mormon Church in Australia for a voluntary priesthood. When he was serving as a priest in Australia, he went to play in the Australian professional team after work, and with his super tall stature and American skills, he actually made a big splash on the soil of the southern hemisphere. When his service was nearing the end of his term, he decided to go to the 1993 NBA Draft.

The 1993 draft was a very high-quality draft, and there were many later stars in it, such as the champion is "the most gorgeous power forward in history" Chris Webber, and Tanhua is the famous Jordan successor in NBA history, "Penny" Anferne? Hardaway. And after him is Jamal Mashburn, and there is Wenbeck, Alan Houston, Sam? Kassel and so on and so forth. Then everyone must want to ask who was between Webb and Tanhua Penny in '93?

The answer is bamboo poles. In 1993, he was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the second pick in the first round of the NBA Draft. Hardaway, Jamal? Mashburn and many other college basketball talents. Bradley was so ambitious for his upcoming career that he even asked the team to allow him to play in the number 76 shirt. But he soon became tragic. In his rookie season, Bradley played only 49 games before he was injured, and his rookie season was goodbye. But his stats aren't bad. He averaged 10.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game that season, and his offensive ability was average. But the defense has its own set of skills. Especially the caps.

In his second season, Sean Bradley began to explode. In the 1994-95 season, Bradley broke the 76ers' all-time record with 274 blocks in the second year of his career. This, combined with his very tall body and little offensive ability, made him directly evaluated by all commentators as "Mark Eaton II". He then set a Philadelphia 76 team record for the 1994 All-Star Weekend "Rookie Game." 1996-97 season. Averaged 3.40 blocks per game. Ranked No. 1 in the NBA. 1997-98 season. With an average of 3.34 blocks per game, it ranks third in the NBA. April 14, 1997 against the Los Angeles Clippers. He scored a career-high 32 points. On April 7, 1998, against the Portland Trail Blazers, he got his fifth career triple-double - 22 points, 22 rebounds, and 13 blocks - the first NBA player to have more than 10 blocks in two consecutive games (3/14/14/96 and 3/16/96 and 4/17/19/96).

But at this point, Sean Bradley's fatal flaw appeared. He's too skinny to gain enough weight, and he tends to look weak against power-type interior players. Although he has a high height and a good jump, he has little advantage in confrontation. And there is one of the most important reasons - injuries.

His injury forced the 76ers to drop him and the Nets to drop him. Bradley moved to the Mavericks in 1997 and his career seemed to be picking up, and it looked like he was more comfortable with the NBA-caliber game. But within a few years, injuries found this big man. Back injuries and leg injuries limit his playing time and weaken his abilities. Because of his German ancestry, he became a German citizen at the persuasion of his Mavericks teammate Nowitzki, and won a bronze medal at the 2002 World Basketball Championships with the German team.

But now he is no longer the All-Star center he used to be, and now he is at most the kind of player between a first-class center and a second-rate center. Although he also has a jump shot, he can't always find the right time to shoot. It's quite the same as not having the ability to attack. But his rebounds and blocks are still good. Especially this season.

Big Ben had no advantage at all against Shaun Bradley and lost the jump ball outright.

In the next game, although the 76ers have been suppressing, especially in the guard line and forward line, Luke directly suppressed Michael Finley who was on the line against him, Reed also limited Nash's play, Allen's struggle with Howard Easley has reached a climax, and Allen is still deepening his advantage; And Rashid has gradually adapted to Nowitzki's ultra-long jumper, and his defensive ability is gradually improving. But there was one thing, and one thing the 76ers were very proud of, was that the center was defeated.

Big Ben actually has an advantage when facing Shaun Bradley because he is a power center, which is the type of center that Shaun Bradley fears the most. But Big Ben's disadvantage is also too great, he is only 2.04 meters tall and 25 centimeters away from Shaun Bradley, not counting the arm span and bounce, he has no rebounds when he has no strength. As for the cap, with Big Ben's height, the cap is 2.29 meters Shaun Bradley, do you think this is credible? Big Ben isn't Nate Robinson, and Sean Bradley isn't our Yao Ming, and Sean Bradley keeps an eye on Big Ben to prevent his block. So Shaun Bradley, who was extremely inconsistent in shooting, turned on the scoring mode when the whole team was not attacking well, and in the seven minutes of the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks scored 25 points, 17 of which were scored by Shaun Bradley. And it also includes two two plus one. Big Ben was completely blown up. Restricted by the number of fouls, Big Ben is gone.

Larry is replaced by Tyrone Hill. The situation on the field changed immediately.

Tyrone Hill doesn't have the powerful rebounding ability of Big Ben, and he doesn't have the unmatched strength of Big Ben, but he has two advantages over Big Ben, first, he has more experience, after all, he has been in the league for more than ten years; Secondly, Tyrone Hill is taller than Big Ben, and that, combined with his reach, is very beneficial for defending Sean Bradley.

Although Sean Bradley is about the same height and weight as Yao Ming, he is not Yao Ming after all. Yao Ming has a very beautiful step-back jumper when facing these players, and the shooting percentage is much more accurate than Shaun Bradley, and Yao Ming's hook hand is terrifying for all centers, including O'Neal and Howard.

And Sean Bradley is much worse. After Tyrone Hill came on the court, Sean Bradley's offense began to be blocked.

The jump shot was never scored again, and the rebounds were basically snatched away by the opponent. The Mavericks began to sink, and the 76ers began to fight back.

Luke, Reed and Allen began to score, they were completely unrestricted by the opponent's defense, plus Rasheed Wallace came out from time to time to block a demolition or something, the Dallas Mavericks had no way at all, not to mention that Nash basically had no defense, and once someone could limit his passing, he was basically in a state of waiting to die.

Just like that, the 76ers were ready to pull the score away, but the first quarter was over, and the two sides returned to the bench to rest.

The current head coach of the Dallas Mavericks is the famous "madman coach" Don Nelson. He has served as the head coach of several NBA teams and is considered a master tactician and innovator par excellence. He invented the concept of a point forward, maintained a run-and-gun attacking style, created the controversial "shark slashing tactic", and always used unexpected tricks to win games. He is adept at acquiring potential players and developing new talent through player trades. He is a three-time Coach of the Year in the league. Before becoming a coach, Don Nelson was quite famous. In 1966, he transferred to be signed by the Boston Celtics and became "Cardinal" Arnold? Disciple of Auerbach. In his first season with the Celtics, he performed well, averaging 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in 75 games, helping the Celtics win the 1966 NBA championship, and in the following nine seasons, Nelson played steadily, maintaining an average of more than 10 points per game, helping the team win the 1968, 1969, 1974, and 1976 championships, and shooting first in the league in the 1974-1975 season. Considered one of the best sixth men in Celtic history. He is best known for scoring in Game 7 of the 1969 Finals Celtics vs. Lakers, scoring on a last-minute shot that gave the Celtics a championship. The elder Nelson retired in 1976.

Just three years later, in 1979, his No. 19 jersey was retired from Boston's North Shore Garden Course. His contribution to the Celts will always be remembered here.

Then came his storied coaching career. (To be continued......)
