The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 318 Oldest Mr. Sixty
Seeing that Little Jordan didn't take it seriously, Li Xun was helpless.

They didn't take it seriously, and there was really nowhere to cry when the time came.

You must know that Bosh's injury is not a small problem, it directly ruined his career.

Leaving aside whether he can continue to play, even if he feels that he can play, the team doctor will not let him play, because pulmonary embolism is a disease that is likely to cause sudden death.

At that time, the sudden death on the first hand will come directly, and Stern may have to die suddenly when he finds out.

Li Xun couldn't help looking at James.

Now James is in a pretty good mood. Originally, he thought he had no idea against the Mavericks, but now that Bosh is injured and sidelined, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses this game.

The team has lost a very important combat power, so if this game is lost, can there be any problems?

So James has no pressure at all.

Seeing Li Xun looking at him, he turned his head directly, not wanting to talk to Li Xun at all.

Li Xun was even more helpless. It seemed that James was still angry, angry that he hadn't told him about West earlier.

"Do you want James to persuade Bosh?"

Li Xun thought about it, but then he thought about it, James saw that he was like a thief, no matter what he said, he would definitely not listen.

Sighing silently in his heart, it seemed that Bosh could only look at his own luck.

"Boss, can I discuss something with you?"

Before the start of the game, Jiba mysteriously ran to Li Xun's side and asked eagerly.

Li Xun was curious, "What happened?"

"Can you let me perform well tonight, I also want to play a career representative battle."

Jiba looked anxious, he was very worried that Li Xun would directly reject him.

If he directly rejected him, he could still accept it, because he was afraid that Li Xun would have a bad impression of him because of his request.

The young Jiba may have been too lacking in love when he was a child, so now he feels a little inferior.

His low self-esteem is not nonsense. When interviewed by later generations, he himself said that when he first met Rose, he was very ashamed.

It's not just his appearance, but the superstar radiance that exudes from the peak Rose, which makes him feel inferior.

Li Xun nodded, Jiba's request was actually not too much.

In the blink of an eye, Jiba has been playing with him for the third season.

Although currently in the Mavericks, Jiba has mixed into a fairly stable starting position, but he is a tool man on the court.

He is mainly responsible for defense, and he can shoot shots when there are some open spots.

Or if he runs out of position in an air cut, he can also receive a pass and score.

Counting on this point of attacking the ball, the score will definitely not be much higher.

So at present, Jiba's scoring average is only seven or eight points per game. So far in his career, games with 40-[-] points in a single game are very rare. As for a game with [-] points in a single game, it has never appeared at all.

Playing a game with [-] or [-] points in a single game is really nothing, and it can't leave any impression on the fans at all.

A few years ago, that is, the 05-06 season, when a hundred flowers were blooming, all four shooting guards were at their peak, and more than 100 people scored more than 40 points in a single season in a single season.

That's called prosperity.

Now Jiba doesn't expect too much, he just wants to play a career representative battle.

"Man, what kind of data do you think can be called a representative battle?"

Li Xun asked curiously.

Jiba scratched his head, the question stumped him.

If you talk too much, it seems difficult to do it; if you talk too little, you will appear to be worthless.

"40 points?"

"Forty points and two pairs."

Jiba said slowly.

Li Xun shook his head with a smile, "It's too shabby for you to represent the battle, two pairs of forty points?"

"You don't think this is all your potential, do you?"

"You are also a third-year player now, and you are not considered a rookie. Your strength is gradually entering the peak stage. I think with your current combat strength, as long as you are lucky, scoring 50 points is not difficult at all."

Li Xun's words were actually intended to comfort Jiba.

For Jiba, scoring 50 points is really difficult, because he has only recorded 50 points twice in his career.

Fortunately, the two 50 points in a single game allowed him to get a double-double, all of which were double-doubles in rebounds.

As for the triple-double, the number of Jiba is actually not that many, and he has only won a total of seven times, which is not as many as his junior brother Stephenson.

"Try it tonight. If it feels good, I will make the decision for Carlisle. I will give you unlimited firepower tonight."

"If it doesn't feel good, there's nothing you can do about it. Even if you have unlimited firepower, the data probably won't look good."

"But don't worry, there will be a chance in the future."

Li Xun opened his mouth and agreed, and gave Jiba the right to fire unlimitedly.

Ji Bale couldn't help but grin, he felt that maybe he should have made this request to Li Xun earlier.

If he had mentioned it earlier, he might have earned his worth by now.

A player with an average of seven or eight points per game, although his defense is very good, and other aspects are also relatively good, but after all, the data is there.

With such data, it is impossible to win the maximum salary when Jiba renews his contract.

Thinking of this, Li Xun smacked his lips.

Unknowingly, both Clay and Jiba are already in the third grade.

After finishing this season, they will reach the contract year.

If they are not going to renew their contracts, the end of this season will be the last time to trade them.

Li Xun suddenly remembered that maybe these two people could be exchanged for some super high draft picks at that time.

Jiba's transaction value is almost meaningless, but Clay's transaction value is definitely high enough.

Even Li Xun felt that there was hope to trade the No. [-] pick. Of course, the Mavericks might have to stick a little something.

After a while, the game started.

At the beginning, Jiba showed a strong desire to attack.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

Jiba attacked very fiercely, but the hit rate was very cheating.

He took five shots in the opening game, but only hit one mid-range shot.

Fortunately, the Mavericks' rebounds are absolutely guaranteed. Li Xun and Gobert are sitting at the basket, and Jordan can only suffer.

If there is no rebound protection, his 5-for-1 shooting percentage, the Mavericks are estimated to have a bloody start.

"This……"

"Well, it looks like tonight is not my lucky day."

Jiba couldn't laugh or cry.

After finally getting this great opportunity from Li Xun, he couldn't grasp it himself.

Jiba couldn't grasp it. On the contrary, the old driver played well at the beginning. After receiving Li Xun's offensive rebound, he made two shots, including a three-pointer.

Li Xun didn't think too much about it. When he was grabbing the rebound inside, because Nowitzki was a decent [-]th position and was very close to the basket, the main target of Li Xun's pass was Nowitzki.

Halfway through the first quarter, Li Xun realized that something was wrong.

The feeling of the old driver tonight seems to be a bit overwhelming.

In this half quarter, he only appeared four times in total, and in the end, he hit all four times. In the blink of an eye, he has already scored 9 points.

For a while, Li Xun was ready to feed the old driver, to see how much oil and water was left in the fuel tank of this 36-year-old old car.

"Shh!"

In the second half of the game, Nowitzki scored another three-pointer.

Seeing the team's big brother feel so hot, the young people in the team began to pass the ball to the old driver.

Although Li Xun is the current head of the Mavericks, the status of the old driver is undisputedly high. After all, he is still No.1 in the history of the Mavericks.

Whether it is scoring or various other statistics, almost all veteran drivers rank first in team history.

The most important thing is that the newcomers also respect this amiable big brother enough.

Many veterans in the league have become eccentric when they get older.

Bullying newcomers is really commonplace.

He also speaks unscrupulously, with no guards on his lips.

But the old driver does not have these problems. He is quite low-key in the outside world, and treats his teammates in the team really like the big brother next door.

Since the big brother feels good tonight, the rookies don't mind sacrificing their ball rights and let the big brother play a good game.

For these rookies, Nowitzki actually sacrificed a lot. Last season, his data has shrunk, and this season has shrunk even more, averaging only 13 points per game.

With his current offensive ability, as long as he has enough possessions, scoring an average of 20 points per game is still not difficult.

A large amount of the ball was handed over to Nowitzki, which is definitely not good news for the Raptors, because other Mavericks players have put more energy on defense.

Li Xun originally wanted to do the job of defending James.

As a result, Jiba refused to give up anything. Tonight, he was very lame on the offensive end, so he hoped to find some presence on the defensive end.

As for whether James can be guarded, it can only depend on Jiba's luck.

Compared with the average small forward, Jiba is actually considered strong, but compared with James, it is completely incomparable.

Fortunately, there is Li Xun guarding the basket from time to time, and Gobert's long-arm monster is also quite defensive and deterrent, so James doesn't dare to attack the basket.

However, Gobert's defense against James is actually not very good. Regardless of his amazing height and wingspan, his strength is not good.

Inside players still need strong strength to defend against James, otherwise the defensive effect will not be much better.

If Jiba is lucky, if James is not accurate in the basket, it will be regarded as a defense.

If you are unlucky and James' basket is very accurate, it will be considered a blow.

By the end of the first quarter, Nowitzki had already scored 22 points. He hadn't scored such a high score in a single quarter for some years.

In the first quarter, he took 14 shots and scored 22 points. This efficiency is completely acceptable.

"Old man, I have a hunch that you will definitely do something very sensational tonight."

During the holiday break, Li Xun sat on the bench and smiled at the old driver.

"Li, I trust your hunch."

"I also feel that tonight might be an unusual night."

I have also been with Li Xun day and night for several months, and there is already some tacit understanding between the two.

No need for Li Xun to say much, Nowitzki also clearly knew what Li Xun was thinking.

Nowitzki gives the impression that he has always been sharp in offense.

But what many people don't know is that Nowitzki's scoring in a single game has not been very decent.

In his regular season career, he only had two 50+ games in a single game, one with 53 points against the Rockets and one with 51 points against the Warriors. Reasonably speaking, he is not as good as Gibba.

At any rate, Jiba scored 53 points in a game and 52 points in a game.

This is very embarrassing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity tonight, Li Xun wondered if he could help Big Brother raise the score in this single game.

If you don't wait until you retire, the future generations of fans will look at the career data of the old driver, which is really not very good-looking.

The old driver also knew Li Xun's thoughts, and the score in the first quarter was really good, and he had a great chance to improve his record tonight, so he simply accepted Li Xun's "arrangement" by default.

After the first quarter, the Mavericks led by five points.

Li Xun hardly participated in the offense in the first quarter, and only scored two points.

When the second quarter started and Jiba was not on the court, Li Xun didn't bother to defend James.

He was worried that the Raptors would lose too quickly and enter garbage time too early, which would affect his plan.

In the second quarter of the game, the old driver still maintained a good offensive efficiency.

It is really not that easy to defend against Nowitzki's offense, not to mention the current veteran driver, even after two years, it is still not very easy to defend against.

Even when it's time to retire, Nowitzki's offense can still keep up with most of the league's main players.

It's just that I'm old, my physical fitness can't keep up, my pace is too slow, and my defense is almost empty, so I retired.

By the end of the first half, Nowitzki scored another 20 points in the second quarter.

This time, 20 calls were used for 15 minutes, and the efficiency has begun to decline.

There is no way, this is the case with veterans. Many of them have three tricks after they play, and they wither after the three tricks are finished.

The old driver can insist on playing a good halftime, which is actually good enough.

42 points have been scored in the halftime, which is actually quite a remarkable achievement.

You must know that Nowitzki is over 35 years old and heading towards 36 years old. Players at this age who can score 40 points in a single game are rare.

A mere [-] points is certainly not Li Xun's ultimate goal.

His goal is sixty.

That's right, tonight Li Xun is going to make Nowitzki the oldest [-]-year-old in NBA history.

At present, there has never been a feat of scoring 35 points at the age of [-] or above in the entire history of the NBA. Even Chamberlain and Jordan have never done it.

Now it's 42 at halftime, which means that Nowitzki only needs 18 more points in the second half.

The game started in the second half, and Nowitzki didn't feel good at the beginning, and he didn't make a mid-range shot until the fourth shot.

But this is nothing to worry about. After all, the Mavericks have an absolute advantage in rebounding, and it is not so easy for the Raptors to win.

As time passed, Nowitzki continued to improve his score even if he didn't feel good, relying on high shots.

When the third quarter reached 8 minutes, the referee on the sidelines directly gave an official timeout.

Because Nowitzki made two free throws just now, his personal score has reached a full 50 points.

No doubt a feat.

However, this is not the record of the oldest Mr. 50 points, because Jordan had previously scored 38 points in a single game when he was 50 years old.

Nowitzki's face was full of joy. He never dreamed that at his age, he would come to a single game of 50+.
