In 11842 minutes, Lester Hudson finally ascended to the throne of the CBA's all-time scoring champion in his 419th game, eleven seasons of spring and autumn battles, 400 swords and swords, when the genius fell, and now it has become a legend.
In 2011, Hudson joined Guangdong, where he was preceded by the CBA's original foreign aid legend.
In the summer before the start of the 10-11 season, Guangdong foreign player Jason Dixon played the final season in the Philippines and officially announced his retirement. People are more familiar with his Chinese name, Jaegerson, before the start of that season, on December 13, 2010, Guangdong held a championship coronation ceremony at home, and at the same time retired the No. 15 jersey for Jaegerson, the only foreign aid in CBA history.
Ten years of fighting horses, five gold cups, Ji Chen, as his name suggests, loyal to basketball, loyal to Guangdong. In a decade, Jaegerson has maintained the record for the longest foreign aid in the league, which was held for a full 11 years, until the 20-21 season was broken by Hudson, who became the first foreign aid in history to play in the 11th season.
Guangdong cut former NBA dunk king Fred Jones, and then went all the way to the Finals with Hudson, carving a four-game winning streak. However, there is only one Jackpot who has not changed the team in ten years, and Guangdong has actually changed foreign aid very frequently in those years, averaging 21.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.3 steals, 1.2 blocks in the playoffs, and finally left the joke of netizens "HaJishi" and turned away.
Legends often begin with an inspirational story, and Hudson has won the championship before.
Often mentioned in the basketball world in 1984, michael Jordan led the 84 golden generation into the NBA, when the god of basketball began to amaze the world, Hudson was born in Memphis, Tennessee, that year, and the city finally welcomed an NBA team when Hudson was 17 years old.
Xiao Ha, who enjoys basketball, is not a good student, and when he was a senior in high school at the age of 19, he repeated his grade at Central High School due to academic performance, and his high school certificate was still obtained after a year of studying at Southwest Tennessee Community College. Because his grades did not meet the requirements, Xiaoha could not even graduate from the two-year college of the community college, so the schools of the NCAA First-level Alliance were also prohibitive for him.
"My dream is to play at DI and I will do anything that makes my dream come true." Little Ha worked hard, resumed his studies, and eventually joined Tennessee State University at Martin. Ha's inspirational life began, and in the third game of his debut, he scored 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals, becoming the first male athlete in the NCAA to win a four-double.
Hudson had only played college basketball for two years, but it was amazing enough.
He averaged 25.7 points per game for third place, 85 steals for America first, 115 three-pointers for second place in the United States, and the following year a terrifying 27.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game. Hudson also became the first Ohio Valley League Player of the Year in Martin's history and rose to the next year, when his journey pointed to the NBA.
In the 2009 draft, Hudson, who was crazy about college data, was not selected by the Celtics until the 28th pick in the second round. This is not surprising, due to the abandonment of his studies, Hudson was almost 25 years old when he ran for election, and he was only 191cm tall, although the university had experience playing the No. 3 position, but in the end the backcourt was his home, and 2009 was the year of the defender, and the first round alone produced the defender 12 Rohans.
After two years in the NBA, Hudson was cut again at the Wizards, when his teammates happened to have Yi Jianlian. Under the matchmaking of the UAE, he crossed the ocean to restart his career in the CBA, and exactly ten years later, when Hudson surpassed the UAE League to become the all-time scoring king, I don't know if Guangdong will regret that he could not keep him that year.
After leaving Guangdong, Hudson crashed into a mountain.
In the 13-14 season, Hudson joined his fourth CBA team in the fourth year, and in 2011 he played against Xinjiang in the Finals. The Northwest Overlords and Hudson released their previous suspicions and joined hands to break through the siege and return to the finals, and that year's opponent, Stephen Marbury's Beijing.
"Lone Wolf" became "Commissar", Marbury pulled Guangdong off the throne, this personality star who scored 16297 points in the NBA, turned back in the twilight of his career, and he was 37 years old when he faced Hudson. Although Hudson averaged 23.3 points per game in the finals, he lost two of the 21 points per game, but in the first two crucial battles, he shot only 2 of 20 three-pointers, and Xinjiang lost two sets first and could not return to the sky.
Hudson suffered the most frustrating period of his career, even if he later scored a three-point shot in the fifth game of the Finals, a year later, he was already in Liaoning and scored another kill in the third game of the Finals, and won the first triple-double in the history of the Finals, but in the end he failed to prevent Marbury from completing the four-year triple crown, and in front of the legend, he made a green leaf again.
Hudson's bad luck is not over, and the 15-16 season has fallen under the other legend.
Liaoning was not discouraged after losing the Finals, Hudson and the team's chemistry was even better, Liaoning won the first place in the regular season with 31 wins and 7 losses, and reached the finals all the way to the finals. In the first game, Hudson had 29 points and 11 assists, Liaoning won easily, but did not expect that after the sudden change, off-field news continued, the new army Sichuan's "Deng Haha" combination was mighty, Liaoning folded four consecutive formations, and lost.
That Sichuan team had only 8 wins and 30 losses the year before, the third-to-last league, and reached the playoffs for the first time in six seasons, but let Hudson fall in front of the championship trophy for the third consecutive year. It was his darkest hour, heroes came and went, legends came and went, but none belonged to him.
It was also the darkest moment of Liaoning, the sixth time in the history of the team lost the finals, from the Bayi Dynasty to the Hongyuan Dynasty, from the beijing four years of three crowns to the Sichuan new army to win the championship, in other people's comedies, only Liao Basket wrote full of sadness. A year later, Liaoning and Hudson, who were fiercely fighting horses, once again witnessed Xinjiang step through the semi-finals, breaking the championship drought and infinite sadness.
Liaoning and Hudson, falling into the abyss, look forward to the light.
It took Hudson four years to find a sense of belonging in Liaoning, which also gave him a three-year contract in the summer of 2015, with a contract of $2.2 million a year, with a 10% increase of about 10%, the first time he signed a long contract in his CBA career.
In the 17-18 season, in the final year of his three-year contract, eager to bring a championship to Liaoning, the season began with Brandon Bass helping, Hudson and Liaoning embarked on a journey of revenge. However, in the first round against Beijing, in the last moment of the first game, Hudson made a pass error in the last attack with a 1-point lead, and almost buried the victory.
It was the last bondage before Liaoning and Hudson broke through the spell, and Beijing won the second game and dragged the game into double overtime after once trailing by 30 points in the third game. Desperate until the end of the fight, Hudson shot in the middle distance in the final moments, laying the foundation for Liaoning to lead by four points. In the fourth game, the two teams played a super low score of 75-72, and Liaoning waded through the danger.
In the battle against Beijing, Hudson and Liaoning finally crushed their demons.
Fighting Guangdong again, Hudson threw in 8 three-pointers, and the knife was fatal. In the Finals against Guangsha, Hudson scored 9 three-pointers in the second game, scoring 45 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, dominating the attack and defense, and he never let the championship slip away from his hand. At this point, Hudson won the championship for Liaoning for 23 years, several years of ups and downs, and his dream came true.
From January 2011 to January 2021, ten years ago, he scored 21 points against Jiangsu for the first time, and ten years later, he was just 21 points away from Jiangsu to tie the UAE. He reached the top with a three-pointer, his 1879th three-pointer, and also the first in history.
11 seasons, 11842 points, 5 finals for 3 different teams, 2 championship trophies, 2 regular season MVP, 1 FMVP, looking back, honors and so on.
Many years ago, he had heard about the greatness of Jason's ten-year dream in Guangdong, and then, he crossed mountains and rivers, from east to west, from south to north, and unconsciously embarked on the journey of the eleventh season. He had also seen Marbury's old ji Futuo, and in a trance, he was also 36 years old, and he was as strong as the old horse.
Legend is for transcendence, not worship, and we look forward to someone in the future surpassing him like Hudson, but until then, you have to believe that you are witnessing the legend!
