The 34-year-old "Brazilian Beast" rewrites history through one battle. The first team of rookies in 2002 was 14.6 points at the peak

Ricardo "Nene" Hilario, 2.11 meters tall and weighs about 120 kilograms, was born in a slum in Brazil. He was poor in childhood but had amazing basketball talent. In 1998, he made his mark at the University of Kansas, and averaged 19.8 points and 11.4 rebounds per game in his junior college, becoming one of the most popular inside players in the 2002 class.

, violent and delicate steps, was selected by the Knicks in the first round of 2002 and traded to the Nuggets, playing a tough guy role in the "Denver Trident". In his rookie season, he was selected as the first team of the Rookie at the basket and blocks, but his injuries have since been plagued by them - several knee injuries, hamstring injuries and hip problems since the third season, which made him only play about 50 games per game.

But what really tested Nene's will was diagnosed with testicular cancer in January 2008. He underwent surgical resection and chemotherapy, and his wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Faced with life and death, Nene declared that "this is God's test" and he became more courageous as he fought. In the 2009-10 season, he completed his first full attendance since the patient, and played in double digits per game for eight consecutive years, and his data remained stable at around 11+7. In the first round of the Western Conference in 2017, the 34-year-old Nene scored 28 points in the key G4 Rockets against the Jazz in the battle against the Jazz, leading the team to a 3-1 lead. This performance was never achieved even Yao Ming that year. In this game, his efficient shooting, screens and rebounds were all in place, showing his dominance like a "Brazil beast".

Nene's career spans six teams including the Nuggets, Wizards, Rockets, etc. From cooperation with Iverson and Nash to fast break with Wall, to pick-and-roll links with Harden in the last year, he has always been the most reliable "coully center" around the star. On May 6, 2019, he announced his retirement after the end of the season. This insider who was once regarded as the Glassman, became the last player to leave the league in 2002 with 15 years of tenacity and professionalism. The achievements made by Nei's scars make the word "wild beast" more shining.
