Hudson failed to stop the Shandong men's basketball team from being swept out.
On the evening of the 4th, the playoff "second game" between the Shandong men's basketball team and the Shenzhen men's basketball team entered the final moment, when the questioned Xu Changsuo gave the Shandong men's basketball players a "face-to-face opportunity" in the suspension time, Hudson, who was 37 years old and 240 days old on the day of the game, sat alone on the side. Hudson, who is far away from his teammates and away from the manager, is not a problem with the attitude of the game, but Hudson, who is no longer young, knows that this will eventually be a game that does not belong to him.
It is also true that when there are more than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, another foreign assistant of the Shandong men's basketball team, Ji Lunwart, had to be replaced because of a little sign of injury, but Xu Changsuo did not replace Hudson, but preferred to use the "all-Chinese class" to continue to play - the last 3 minutes of the victory and defeat have been divided, and the Shandong men's basketball team also uses the "all-Chinese class".
For Hudson, being abandoned by the manager and forgotten by the manager at a critical moment is indeed a humiliating scene that he has rarely encountered in the CBA arena for many years, but just from this game, Hudson's treatment is extremely normal.
Hudson's hand in this game is extremely cold.
In the 18 minutes and 32 seconds of this game for the Shandong men's basketball team, Hudson only scored 5 points on 20-of-10 shooting, and the plus-minus value was the lowest in the team-wide -29, compared with Hudson, the whole game contributed 34 points, and the fourth quarter led the Shandong men's basketball team to continuously narrow the point difference, and the plus-minus value of this game was +14. The comparison of positive and negative values alone may strengthen Xu Changsuo's determination to abandon Hudson and use GillenWater.
What's even more booing is that looking at Hudson's performance in the team's last minute "self-exile" during the team's suspension, he also seems to have accepted the reality that this game does not belong to him. Being abandoned by the manager is extremely rare in Hudson's CBA career; abandoning himself is even rarer in Hudson's CBA career. Therefore, with Hudson and the Shandong men's basketball team out of the game, whether Hudson will come back, the question that has been asked repeatedly in recent years, seems to have reached the time to reveal the final answer!
Indeed, Hudson, who is about to turn 38, has spent perhaps the most difficult season of his CBA career in the Shandong men's basketball team this season, and the reason for this hardship can obviously only be attributed to Hudson's age, and Hudson, who is no longer young, although he is still serious enough and still maintains a good enough feel in most games, but...
Can Hudson return to the CBA?
Hudson, who is at the top of the CBA's all-time scoring list, may really have to say "88" to the CBA league because of his age, or because he no longer believes that Hudson can continue to write a legend, the CBA wants to say "88" to Hudson - of course, it does not matter who abandons whom, what matters is that Hudson and the CBA seem to have "ended their relationship". As if it is a providence in the dark, as of his and Shandong men's basketball team being swept out by the Shenzhen men's basketball team, Hudson's total number of games in the CBA playoffs is exactly 88 games.
Hudson's 88 playoff games were completed with the Shandong men's basketball team (6 games), the Liaoning men's basketball team (54 games), the Xinjiang men's basketball team (13 games), the Shenzhen men's basketball team (3 games) and the Guangdong men's basketball team (12 games), and in these 88 playoff games, Hudson scored a total of 2385 points, averaging 27.1 points per game is obviously good enough, and it is worth saying that in addition to only 5 points in the 88th game, Hudson has only scored in the previous 87 playoff games and failed to score doubles.
In addition to 88 playoff games, Hudson has also played in the Guangdong men's basketball team, Xinjiang men's basketball team and Liaoning men's basketball team in 5 finals, in addition to following the Guangdong men's basketball team and liaoning men's basketball team to win a championship, Hudson scored a total of 730 points on the stage of the finals, in the history of the finals, Hudson's total score was only inferior to Zhu Fangyu (981 points); Hudson gave a total of 146 assists in the finals, ranking first in history; Hudson completed a total of 67 steals in the finals. It was followed by Zhu Fangyu (97 times) in second place in history.
Hudson is already a legend in the CBA arena.
Whether Hudson, who has had too many successes in the CBA and has written his name to the top of many data rankings, will return to the CBA next season is certainly unknown. But that might be the last time Hudson failed to score in double figures in the playoffs. In the 2018-2019 CBA semifinals, the Fifth Game between the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team and the Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, while the Liaoning Men's Basketball Team finally lost 62-99 and was unfortunately out with a 1-4 overall score, Hudson also contributed 5 points to the Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's 14 shots.
That glare 5 points is Hudson's "last dance" in the Liaoning men's basketball team; only 5 points in the playoffs again, is it Hudson's "last dance" in the CBA?
