[Old General Record] Jet: A gentleman takes revenge, it’s no late for five years!

Basketball

Lightning-like breakthrough, rapid three-point firepower, galloping on the field as the team's sixth man, the small jet from Dallas, the best partner behind King No, from Jason Terry.

Return to Terry's career trajectory, born in Seattle in 1977. In 1979, the Seattle Supersonics defeated Washington Bullets in the finals to win the team's first championship in history. During the championship parade, fans across the city were immersed in the joy of winning the championship, and it was this atmosphere that gradually infected Terry, who was only two years old at the time, and made him fall in love with this sport.

In elementary school, Terry's physical education teacher was former Seattle Supersonic player Srick Watts. Generally speaking, physical education teachers will let students learn various sports in class, but Watts does not teach anything else in class, only basketball. The fate of teachers and students with Watts made Terry fall in love with basketball, and the dream of entering the NBA was quietly planted at this time.

As a supersonic fan, Terry was deeply attracted by Gary Payton's tough style of playing in his growth. He hoped that he could also tear the defense at lightning speed like Payton while suffocating the opponent with suffocation defense. There is such an idol. When he was in middle school, Terry was famous for his terrifying breakthroughs and strong defense, but his weaknesses in his external shortcomings also made him face many doubts.

In order to prove that he has the potential to challenge the NBA, Terry arranged a series of shooting training separately. Whether it is a fixed-point shot, an emergency stop jump shot or a small draw in the near box, Terry has to score at least 600 goals every day before leaving the court. After some hard training, Terry gradually showed confidence in the offense, and the defensive end continued to evolve, gradually becoming the key teacher of the team's offense and defense integration.

In high school, Terry led the team to win the Lower State championship twice. After graduation, I chose to study at the University of Arizona. There was no chance of performance in my freshman season, and I averaged less than 10 minutes of playing time per game. After becoming a sophomore, his playing time soared to 30 minutes, and averaged 10.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.5 steals per game. He even led the team to defeat the University of Kentucky in an unprofitable situation and won the NCAA championship of that year.

Senior season, Terry scored an all-around data averaged 21.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.8 steals per game, and was selected as the All-Team and Player of the Season. Terry then announced his participation in the 1999 NBA Draft.

In 1999, Terry was selected by the Hawks at the 10th pick in the first round, and began his NBA career. Although the Hawks ended the season with a bleak record of 28 wins and 54 losses that year, thankfully, Terry, the substitute defender, averaged 8.1 points and 4.3 assists per game, was selected as the second team of the All-Rookie Team, and gradually entered the team's focus of training.

The following year, Terry's playing time soared to 37.7 minutes. He also lived up to expectations and scored a high score of 19.7 points per game, gradually becoming the top player in the team. In the next three seasons, Terry, who was originally the main point guard, was arranged by the coach to be the point guard. After a period of adaptation and learning, Terry's organizational ability improved to a higher level, giving the team the highest 7.4 assists in the 2002-03 season. This alone is enough to show that he is slowly evolving into an all-around defender with both scoring, organization and defense.

Although the performance is comprehensive, the Eagles' record has never improved. In five years, the Hawks only won 35 wins in their best season. After missing the playoffs for many years, the Hawks decided to reorganize the lineup, and finally packaged Terry and Allen Henderson in 2004, with a first-round draft pick to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Antoine Walker and Tony Delk.

For this story, the fate between Terry and Dallas was actually secretly formed as early as a game in 2002. On the game, the Mavericks' defense was fully fired, making 15 of 23 shots to score a career-high 46 points. After the game, Mavericks coach Nelson directly faced the camera and said:

"I don't know the player wearing No. 31, but since we can't defend him, why not sign him!" In 2004, Nash left the Mavericks to the Suns. In order to fill the defender gap, Nelson fulfilled this sentence and traded Terry directly from the Hawks to the team. After arriving in Dallas, Terry immediately introduced himself with his rapid scoring firepower, and three-point firepower became his signature weapon. After gaining the trust of the coach, he gradually became a stable starter for the team.

With good team cooperation, the Mavericks won 58 wins and 24 losses that season, and Terry finally got a taste of the playoffs. In the 2005-06 season, the Mavericks advanced to the finals and fought to the death against the Heat. In the first game of the finals, Terry scored 32 points in front of his idol Payton with an efficient shooting percentage of 13 of 18 shots. Coming to the sixth game, the Heat, who holds the match point, has a 3-point lead in the last 9 seconds of the game. Terry, who holds the ball, dribbled the ball through the halftime under Payton's defense. After bypassing Nowitzki's cover, he decisively took action outside the three-point line at the 45-degree angle on the right...

Unfortunately, Terry missed the opportunity to extend the series and watched the Heat win the championship and win the championship at home in Dallas. Later, when recalling that move, Terry's response was very simple:

"If time can be repeated, I will still take decisive action. I am willing to accept all challenges, and I am willing to shoulder the victory or defeat of the team."

The time came to the 2008-09 season, and the Mavericks chose to fire coach Avery Johnson, and Carlisle took charge of the military talisman. After trying to get in, Carlisle decided to arrange for Terry to start from the bench to make up for the substitute firepower. Such rotation dispatch directly stimulated Terry's offensive destructive power, scoring a record of 19.6 points and 3.4 assists per game, winning himself a Best Sixth Man Trophy for himself.

Fast forward to the 2010-11 season, and before the season started, Terry directly tattooed a championship trophy on his arm. Although many people thought Terry's move was a bit exaggerated at the time, the Mavericks eventually eliminated the Trail Blazers, Lakers and Thunder in the playoffs, and after five years of separation, they set foot on the finals again. The opponent happened to be the Heat Big Three formed by James, Wade and Bosh. In the first four games of the finals, the two teams tied a 2-2 draw with a big score. In the last 33 seconds of the fifth game, the Mavericks held a 4-point lead. At this time, Teresa, who had the ball, defended James with strict defense, and then dribbled the ball to a 45-degree angle on the right. Facing James's counterattack, he shot without hesitation. Then the commentary sound rang out in the stadium:

"Bang! Jason Terry won a 7-point lead for the Mavericks with 33 seconds left!"

This time, Terry successfully avenged the revenge of a single arrow five years ago, helped the team win the key third victory. Finally, the Mavericks defeated the Heat again in the sixth game and successfully won the championship. After the 2011-12 season, Terry played for the Celtics, Nets, Rockets, Bucks and other teams, relying on his own game experience to promote junior newcomers. After 19 seasons in the NBA, Terry announced his retirement in 2018 and bid farewell to the NBA stage.
