The Mavericks conducted daily training and Sabonis showed everyone his abilities.

Halfway through the training, Sun Hao felt that the topic of "what would it be like if Sabonis entered the NBA when he was young" was discussed.

Because Sabonis is so comprehensive, he basically has the skills of big men, he moves quickly, has rich experience, and can even give you three points occasionally.

If he entered the NBA when he was young, he had the chance to become a legend in the center position like O'Neal.

Old Nelson did everything he could to his best. Half of the training and the next half of the training made Sabonis play the role of O'Neal.

This is very common in NBA teams.

As we are well-known, McGrady was pulled over by the Spurs at the end of her career to play the role of James in training.

But Sabonis is indeed old, without the explosive power of O'Neal, the training effect is not particularly good.

"How is the matter with Monk?"

Old Nelson turned around and asked Little Nelson at this time.

"If it goes well, you will be able to come to Dallas at the end of this month."

"So fast?"

Old Nelson was a little surprised.

The general manager's job is better if his son does it.

After the All-Star Game, the Mavericks' record fluctuated a bit.

Sabonis' injury had a great impact on him. Later, Old Nelson simply asked him to rest first and give him the opportunity to Wang Zhizhi and Collins.

With the opportunity to play, the two of them have their own performances. From a long-term perspective, it is also a good thing for the Mavericks.

And at this time, Sun Hao also learned from Nelson that Bartel was coming to the Mavericks from the youngest.

He was still a little surprised by this news. In history, Bartel went to the Nuggets.

It seems that his appearance has changed a lot.

But it makes sense to think about it carefully. The Mavericks themselves are interested in Chinese players.

As for Bartel, it was not because he chose the Nuggets in history, but because the Nuggets chose him.

If the Mavericks want to get him, as long as they can get it, it will definitely be easy to get it.

Because from Bartel's perspective, when you go abroad, what reason is there to refuse to play with your national teammates?

And after knowing that Bartel is going to join, he also knows the Mavericks' ideas this season.

The Mavericks can play centers now, Lafrenz, Sabonis, Battel, and Corinth. Wang Zhizhi, who can play No. 5 positions, can play centers in one team!

This is about to play a wheel battle with O'Neal!

At the end of February, Sun Hao met Bartel in the locker room.

Bater looked a little dull, but when he saw Sun Hao and Wang Zhizhi, he would talk too much.

They helped the Chinese team win the Asian Championships together in Shanghai, and they were also considered comrades who had fought in the kang road.

Old Nelson couldn't wait and let Bartle play O'Neal's role during training.

Compared to Sabonis, Bartel is at the peak of his body and is obviously closer to O'Neal.

And an unexpected scene happened during training.

After losing defense, Collins wanted to stop Bartle from scoring, but Bartle didn't move much even when he got up.

"What does this guy usually eat?"

This scene made Old Nelson stunned.

Although Collins's body size cannot withstand O'Neal, he is also a serious black, rough and hard person.

Bartel's static power is not only strong, it is a bit terrifying.

"I think in terms of static forces alone, Shaq is the only one in this league that is stronger than him."

After watching the training, Old Nelson showed joy.

He heard and saw something different. He now feels that the team has made a profit from signing.

The day after Bartel arrived in Dallas, the Mavericks ushered in a game against the Pacers.

This is also the debut of Batel NBA.

Three Chinese players gathered in the same team, and the attention of this game can be imagined.

The Mavericks' overall strength is better than the Pacers and they take the initiative at the beginning.

However, O'Neal Jr. performed well on the Pacers, and both played well in both Lafrenz and Sabonis.

The score on the court after the first quarter was 32-27, and the Mavericks only led by 5 points.

Bartel got a chance to play at the opening of the second quarter.

His appearance also made domestic fans cheer.

Before last season, there was not even a single Chinese player in the NBA.

But after this moment, four Chinese players have appeared in the NBA arena.

The advantage of Battel is that it has enough strength, and the weakness is that it has slow movement speed.

The Pacers themselves have a slow offensive pace, which makes his weaknesses cover up and their advantages magnify.

And when Old Nelson was surprised, Bartle's back-turning skills at the basket were excellent, and he was not just a defensive engineer!

This allowed Old Nelson to leave him on the court for more time.

Then, surprise came again.

The substitute connection section has passed, and the main players of both sides have returned, and Bartel is still left on the court.

As a result, O'Neal, who was in a hot state before, was defeated in the inside line against Bartel!

O'Neal's technical characteristics are a bit similar to Garnett. He has a top-notch body, but his style of playing is out of the box.

His strongest move is to turn his back and lay up, or pull back and jump shot.

Before, he could switch freely whether facing Lafrenz or Sabonis.

But when he met Bartel, he turned to the basket and basically had no way. Bartel turned into a wall in front of him, and he could only take a step out!

This greatly reduced his offensive efficiency.

The Mavericks also took advantage of the situation to achieve a climax and opened the score.

However, after the fight, Bartel's weaknesses were also exposed.

His speed was too slow. He was still in his own half after the fast attack.

Including retreating, he will always be the last one to return to halftime.

However, the cost of signing him is also small. With the previous performances, what else do you want?

In the end, the Mavericks won a big home victory.

Bartel scored a full 15 minutes of playing time in his NBA debut, and he scored 5 points and 6 rebounds. He also had many contributions that could not be reflected in the defensive data, and performed quite well.

When summarizing the locker room after the game, Old Nelson even named him and praised him.

“He brings us tough.”

This is Old Nelson's comment.

This is also a very accurate evaluation.

Because of the style of play, the Mavericks are always called soft by the media.

But Bartel's body and playing style, which is full of male hormones, successfully made up for this link.

Time flies, and it is mid-April in a blink of an eye.

Sun Hao's second season of NBA career is coming to an end soon.

Before the All-Star Game, he successfully upgraded the long-distance sharpshooter to the Hall of Fame.

After the All-Star game, he also successfully upgraded his mid-range shooting to the silver level, and his infinite range was also close to the Hall of Fame level.

Let’s open up his attribute list.

Height: 190cm; Weight: 83kg

Strength: 85; Speed: 80; Agility: 75; Bounce: 77; Physical energy: 86; Ball quotation: 93

Ball control: 84; pass: 61; dunk: 66; layup: 81; mid-range: 71; three-pointer: 90

Defense: 75; Blocks: 62; Steals: 78; Rebounds: 62;

Compared to a year ago, his height has grown to 1.90 meters, and his attributes have also been improved, including his dunk and defense.

Of course, the most obvious improvement is his middle distance and three-pointers.

If his playing style was very biased to Curry last season, he would be closer to Durant this season.
