1.5% probability of winning the Tanhua lottery! The Mavericks are against the will of heaven and change their fate, is it "a alliance preference" or metaphysical spring

On the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery Night, the Dallas Mavericks won the Tanhua lottery with an ultra-low probability of 1.8%, instantly igniting social media. When NBA president Xiao Hua read out the name of the Mavericks, the team's legend Nowitzki hugged his head with his hands and his eyes were slightly red. The commentator roared: "This probability is even more outrageous than the scratch-offs in three consecutive periods! In the summer of Dallas, the script of "Son of the Chosen" will be staged!"

Metaphysical counterattack: Behind the 1.8% probability, is it the league's "blind-box operation" or the gift of fate?

Mavericks have only 38 wins and 44 losses this season, ranking 11th in the Western Conference. The probability of winning the Tanhua lottery is only 1.8%, even lower than the Wizards who were the last one (14% chance of winning the No. 5 draw). However, the draw site was a "magic realism" - high-probability teams such as the Pistons and Hornets "turned over" one after another, but the Mavericks changed their fate with the attitude of "son of the choice". Fans joked: "Cuban (the owner of the Mavericks) paid luxury tax for three consecutive years, and finally moved Stern (former president)'s spirit in heaven!" Some conspiracy theorists even found out the old account: The Mavericks have been fined multiple second-round picks for illegal recruitment in recent years. This "winning" may be a "compensation gift" of the league.

Historical Reincarnation: Low probability draws into a champion puzzle? Can Dallas replicate the Cavaliers’ “Counterattack Myth”?

NBA history has never lacked legends of "low probability counterattack". In 2011, the Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick with a 2.8% chance, laying the groundwork for James' return; in 2014, the Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick with a 1.7% chance, winning Wiggins (later traded Derefo), and finally conquered the first championship in the team history. Now the Mavericks hold the Tanhua sign in hand, which coincides with the year of Doncic's contract. This signing may become the "decisive needle" for renewal negotiations. ESPN experts bluntly said: "If the French genius striker Saar is selected, the Mavericks will form the super three giants of "Doncic + Irving + Saar". The championship is no longer a fool!"

Life and Death Choice: Is the Tanhua Lottery a "correstoration of the building block" or "the bargaining chip that is immediately used to fight"? Cuban bet on the future

Mavericks management is facing epic difficulties:

1. Self-use reinforcement: If you choose new forwards such as Sal or Rissache, you can fill the vacancy after Grant Williams leaves the team and create an offensive and defensive system of "Doncic + Irving + Rifley", but you need to bear the risk of rookie growth;

2. Transaction is to fight power: use the Tanhua lottery + existing assets to quote Cavaliers center Allen or Raptors forward Barnes to accelerate the championship window period, but may overdraw future potential.

According to US media reports, the Mavericks have contacted several teams to test the transaction value of Tanhua Sign. Cuban had a deep meaning in his Chinese interview: "We will evaluate all options, but there is no 'reconstruction' in the Dallas dictionary - only winning in the present."

Conclusion: Can the 1.8% miracle ignite the fire of Dallas' championship?

From Nowitzki's single-core championship to Doncic's era, the Mavericks have always been one of the most topical teams in the league. The 1.8% chance of winning the Tanhua lottery is not only a gift for fate, but also a reward for the team's years of dormant. In the next few months, every step of the Mavericks will rewrite the western pattern - is it necessary to rebuild the dynasty around the Tanhua Lottery, or is it to strive for the championship now? The summer in Dallas is destined to be boiling with this "lottery".

polishing instructions:

1. Strengthen the dramatic tension:

• Use words such as "Son of the Chosen" and "Magic Realism" to render the incredible counterattack;

• Add Nowitzki's "eye redness" details to enhance the sense of the picture.

2. Deepen conflicts:

• The title uses the contradiction between "League Preference" and "Metaphysical Frivolity" to create suspense;

• The statement in Cuban's interview that "no reconstruction, only winning in the present" highlights the team's gambler mentality.

3. Combining data with cases:

• Compare the "turnover" data of Wizards, Pistons and other teams to highlight the Mavericks' despair;

• Quote the historical cases of the Cavaliers to strengthen the logical chain of "Tanhuazhao Value".

4. The language is sharper:

• The fans' jokes changed to "The Spirit of Stern who touched Stern" to increase entertainment;

• Words such as "Suha's Current" and "Overdrawing the Future" hit the pain points of the management.
