The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 42.

April 11

The current momentum is booming and the Magic, temporarily ranking first in the league, will sit at home today to welcome the challenge of the Western powerhouse Dallas Mavericks.

The performance of the Mavericks in these two seasons has been relatively stable, at least they have maintained a place in the playoffs, but compared with the previous seasons, they lack too much competitiveness.

Because as other teams in the league become stronger and stronger, the Mavericks, who have remained unchanged, have found it difficult to break out in the west where there are many strong teams.

Until last season, the Nets in the Eastern Conference failed to achieve the results the team wanted. In addition, the conflict between Kidd and the head coach was getting deeper and deeper, so in the end Kidd also went to Dallas to join forces with Nowitzki.

But Kidd, who joined the Mavericks at the end of the regular season, could only help the Mavericks barely enter the playoffs in the seventh place in the Western Conference.

Finally, in the first round of the playoffs, they were ruthlessly eliminated by the Hornets with a total score of 1:4.

So this year, the Mavericks, still led by Carlisle, are making a comeback, but this time, with the running-in of the team, Kidd has already produced some chemical reactions with this team.

Although Kidd's scoring ability has declined greatly as he grows older, his smart ball quotient and defensive contributions can still help the Mavericks' defense look brand new.

Coupled with Nowitzki, Terry and Josh Howard, these three cannons who averaged more than 18 points per game have also kept the Mavericks among the top teams in the league.

The most important thing is that in the interior of the Mavericks today, there is Dampier who claims to be the second center in the West! !

Napier's reputation can be described as terrifying.

So this strong dialogue between the No. [-] center in the Western Conference and the No. [-] center in the league naturally attracted the attention of many fans. Of course, most of them came to see a joke...

After all, as of now, the second center in the Western Conference has averaged 5 points, 7 rebounds and 4 fouls per game.

This is a luxurious statistic that Yao Ming would cry when he saw it, O'Neill would collapse when he saw it, and Howard was so scared that he drank and got drunk after watching it.

So before the start of the game, the two sides were conducting shooting training in their respective halfs, while Su Jiu walked up to Howard's side and jokingly said to him:

"Eric (Dampier) is the second center in the Western Conference. Can you do this game? If you can't, you can ask Stan not to play. I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined."

Before the opening game, Su Jiu was also warming up from beyond the three-point line. Of course, his pre-match training was basically useless.

Because Su Jiu didn't know what kind of role he would play in this game, but he still had to show Van Gundy off the field what he should do.

And with Su Jiu's wonderful performance in the past few games, coupled with the fighting spirit on the court, he has already won the approval of most of his teammates.

Playing with the team's live treasure Howard is even better. After all, Su Jiu, who came back from later generations, has too many jokes, and he can always make everyone laugh when he makes jokes.

"Well, I think what you said makes sense. The second center in the Western Conference looks amazing."

"Haha."

"Ha ha!"

The Magic, which is playing at home, seemed relatively relaxed before the start of the game, because the recent momentum of the Magic can be described as very hot.

Especially after defeating the favorite Celtics with a luxurious lineup, the team's self-confidence has risen to a higher level.

So this also led to the completely different mentality of the two teams before the start of the game.

On the Mavericks side, everyone was more cautious before the opening, and even a little nervous.

Because the away game is still facing the current No. [-] Magic team in the league, this obviously puts a lot of pressure on the Mavericks.

Commentator Jinger: "Before the start of the game, we could see that the Magic seemed to be more relaxed in mentality. Although we couldn't hear what they were saying, the smiles on their expressions proved that the current team atmosphere of this team can be said to be very good."

"Presumably after defeating the Celtics, the cohesion of this Magic team has become stronger and stronger, because the confidence brought to them by defeating such a team can be said to be very huge."

Karen: "That's right, the Magic are temporarily leading the league with a record of [-] victories, and Dwight was elected the best player in the Eastern Conference last week just yesterday."

"Then Su Jiu, the undrafted pick signed by the team this season, exceeded everyone's expectations and reached the third place in the rookie rankings all the way."

"Although this ranking is still very controversial at present, being able to reach this position on the official list is already a recognition of the strength of the young player Su."

"The most important thing is that in the previous few games, if I remember correctly, the two of us should have broadcasted two games of the Magic. In these two games, Su's personal performance can be called very amazing."

"And to paraphrase a sentence from netizens, compared to his performance in statistics, in fact, his motivation on the spiritual level is of great help to the team. I personally agree with this very much."

Hearing what his partner Karen said, Jinger kept nodding to express his approval.

"Indeed, no matter how much controversy Su has on this list, first of all, he has been able to get to this point as an undrafted player, which is already very worthy of our admiration."

"Su also said in an interview before that he would often appear in the arena in Orlando for training at four o'clock in the morning. In fact, after the release of this interview video, many people questioned it on the Internet."

"Some people think that Su is completely hyping himself, thinking that Su may work harder than others off the court, but he is definitely not as great as he said."

"However, just yesterday, I also just got a piece of news, because the Magic are playing away games for the past two days, so training will become very inconvenient."

"However, according to the reports from the front, after the Magic defeated the Celtics, the reporter who had been squatting near the Orlando Arena captured photos of Su and the team's Courtney appearing in the Orlando Arena for training in the early hours of yesterday."

"On the second day after the team flew back from Boston, Su truthfully showed up at the Orlando Arena for training in the early hours of the morning. The most important point is that he himself had no knowledge of a reporter staying there in advance to film."
