Please call me Ding Shenxian in the NBA

Chapter 194. 191. Dancing the Big Egg Dance
"Xiaoding played for 2 minutes in the first quarter, with 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals and 0 blocks. I didn't get any news about his health problems. From my visual inspection, he was running weak, he hesitated to take shots, and he broke out in sweat after not playing much. It looks like he has a fever."

"Director Zhang, can NBA players continue to play if they have a fever?"

"Theoretically it is impossible, but it is not ruled out that some superstars with strong willpower stand up to challenge the common sense of mankind. They play with illnesses but can help the team win key games, and then become legends one after another."

"That guide, do you think Coach Carlisle will let Xiao Ding play in the second quarter?"

The implication of Duan Ran's words is that if Xiao Ding is injured, coach Carlisle should not let him continue to play. After all, Xiao Ding is the wealth of a country, and if he suffers a serious injury, it will be a fatal blow to the national team.

The NBA is originally a league that advocates confrontation. Of course, the trend will change after 10 years, but they still play normal physical contact.

For a long time, it has been difficult for Asian players to land in the NBA because their physical fitness cannot keep up.

Ah Lian is already close to the physical ceiling of the Chinese striker, but he still beats the substitute from the starting lineup, and Xiaoding is also inseparable from being able to keep the substitute position.

Take the situation of the UAE in the offseason, the Wizards who just got the UAE sent him to the Mavericks as a bargaining chip.

To put it bluntly, the Wizards didn't even want to keep Ah Lian.

In this transaction, the United Arab Emirates is a burden.

Of course, for the Mavericks, it would be great to be able to get Xiao Ding and Ah Lian together.

That is to say, Dayao can't play. If Dayao can be brought over again, Cuban will directly mention Sun Yue to the Mavericks, and then let them and Shuhao form an all-China lineup!
A full-blooded Xiao Ding and a healthy Yao can definitely form one of the best dual-core players in the league. Ah Lian and Shu Hao are working hard to improve to the level of qualified starters.

The only flaw in this lineup is the Great Sage.

It's not that Dasheng has no potential, but that he is now concerned about falling in love and playing hard enough. He is now averaging 5.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in the Mavericks' Development League.

With such fucking data, Dasheng has no hope of joining the Mavericks.

As long as he has one or two statistics in double figures, relying on Xiaoding's way, Dasheng can get a basic salary contract with the Mavericks.

Dasheng wants to enjoy life more, in other words, playing basketball is all that matters to him.

In Mavericks, he can earn a minimum annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars as a temporary worker. When he returns to China, he can earn more than that by playing casually, accepting endorsements, shooting commercials, and attending events.

So everyone has their own ambitions, and Xiao Ding and Ah Lian didn't think there was a problem with the Great Sage.

Back in the second quarter, Carlisle still controlled his playing time according to the requirements he had given to Xiao Ding before the game.

After the first rotation, Carlisle did not replace Ding.

This kind of operation further confirmed Xiaoding's physical discomfort.

James felt very upset, because he had long wanted to play against the full blood Xiaoding.

He wants to know how far Xiaoding has progressed after being baptized by the NCAA.

Wade, who was jealous before, elbowed James, "Don't think about your Ding, he probably won't be able to fight tonight."

"How did you know?"

Wade was stunned by James' rhetorical question, "I don't know, do you think he can still play?"

"Of course, I believe he can still fight, do you want to bet?"

"Okay, what are you betting on?"

Wade is not gambling, he is just angry with James.

"Ding Neng will play, you will treat the team dinner tomorrow, or I will treat you."

"It doesn't count if he comes up and plays for 1 minute."

James was very patient in order to escape the order, "Just count his points, and only when he scores more than 5 points will he play. How about it?"

"5 points is too little, two rounds are enough, 10 points, he only counts if he scores more than 10 points, with his ability, it shouldn't be a problem to come up and play for another 2 minutes, right?"

Wade somewhat intentionally hurt Xiao Ding.

Because Xiaoding played for 2 minutes in the first quarter, but failed to score a point, his performance can be called a black hole.

Of course, James is not angry either. Compared with Wade, Ding is just an outsider, so there is no need to hate his brother for him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The bet was established, and James looked at Xiao Ding who was sitting on the bench again, thinking how can I force him out?

James is so smart. After he got the ball, he showed off Marion's defense and scored a layup with ease.

His "Tianlong Babu" didn't really take eight steps, but he didn't explain his steps clearly, and the referee didn't blow it, so he was ridiculed by the fans as an eight-step layup.

How can James take eight steps? With his height and long legs, he can reach the basket in four steps. He must not take eight steps!

After the goal, James showed off his muscles to the Mavericks bench.

Marion would be good if he didn't get knocked down by James, so it's not a defense.

The accusations given by the Mavericks did not include defending James, because Marion at his peak is enough, not to mention that he has entered his twilight years.

Marion is not old, and he is also ruined by injuries.

But letting him serve as Xiaoding's substitute is simply enough. The hacker is now practicing the key three-pointer very steadily. Don't look at the breakthrough, even being a spot-up shooter is enough to help the Mavericks improve their firepower!

Seeing James deliberately provoking, Xiao Ding immediately stood up, he and Carlisle looked at each other, and got a negative shake of his head.

Professional golfers must obey the coach's arrangement.

People like Sprewell who choke the coach's neck can't do it even if they have a reason, not to mention that Sprewell is a man with zero EQ and an egomaniac. There is no second person who can play a coach in the entire basketball world.

Xiao Ding sat back on the bench again.

Realizing that his provocation was not strong enough, James focused on Kidd's pass.

He suddenly let go of Marion and rushed between Kidd and Nowitzki.

Kidd really gave Nowitzki the point, James predicted the pass, and it was too late when Kidd realized that it was not good.

James completed the steal and then pushed the ball forward. He caught up with the basketball first, and took off directly after crossing the free throw line. After a long gliding, James dunked the ball in with one hand!

Even the Dallas audience was shocked by James' violence.

"James jumps really high!"

"Yes, this dunk from the actual free throw line is amazing."

Looking at the replay again, James didn't actually take off from the free throw line, but jumped over the free throw line in two steps.

And his posture in the air is not as good as Danzi's, which is the reason why his muscles are too hard. If you want to talk about the beauty of dunks, you have to look at shooting guards like Danzi and Carter!
After scoring the goal, James directly showed the big ball dance!

Although it was a variant of the big egg dance, it also attracted the attention of the referee. The referee picked up the whistle. He really wanted to give James a whistle. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it, because he didn't have to make trouble with James.
