This is the "biggest trap" of the nba draft-the soft talent of the players.

The top three rookies who have fallen off the horse since the 20th century generally include the following characteristics:

With incredible height and wingspan, you can't help but imagine them as the next great insider. Just like seeing a beautiful woman with a big mind, a thin waist and long legs and a soft voice, you will naturally think of Lin Chi-ling.

For example, Kwame Brown, the No.1 scholar in 200 1, Tabit, the No.1 scholar in 2009, and Wiseman last year. When they debuted, their templates were legends such as Garnett, Mutombo and David Robinson.

Excellent speed and jumping ability make you think he is basketball material at a glance. When they stand in front of you, just like when they met Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, or Wang Bingbing now, it must be beautiful to have such a beautiful woman around them.

For example, Swift in 2000, Derrick Williams in 20 1 1, mckeachie in 12 and Bennett in 13. Seeing them jumping, running and dunking on the court, any scout is inevitably excited.

Attracted by the trend at that time, he blindly pursued the most popular styles. "The king of Chu had a thin waist and starved to death in the palace." It was just the hottest superstar at that time.

For example, in 2006, the Raptors chose Bagh Gnagni as the No.1 pick because Dirk beat Duncan to enter the finals that year and won the mvp the following year.

In 2005, the Hawks chose marvin williams to rank second, because LeBron had already shown a bright future as an all-around striker, and everyone wanted to play the same style.

In 2003, the Pistons skipped Wade, and Anthony chose milicic, because Duncan had just won the mvp twice in a row and beat the ok group to win the championship. A talented insider with solid basic skills and versatility makes everyone drool.

The lucky teams are almost the same. In the year when everyone wanted to sign the first place, they happened to meet the only solution that Shark, Duncan and LeBron could choose the right one with their eyes closed.

However, the unfortunate teams have their own misfortunes, not to mention the old unlucky ones who chose Auden Trailblazers (multiple injuries), Jay Williams Bulls (car accident) and Adam Morrison Bobcats (diabetes).

First, the embarrassment of those "talent shows"

In the past, in the nba draft, we first looked at some unchangeable talents of players, such as height, wingspan, bounce, sprint speed and palm size.

Because "height cannot be taught", it is impossible or difficult to cultivate and improve these talents in the future career. Therefore, for a long time, when the future is uncertain and you don't have the strength to stand out from the crowd, the bonus of these hard talents can easily make some teams picky.

But when it comes to the game, it's another matter. Because after all, you chose a basketball player instead of a track and field player.

Most newcomers with physical talent will face the same problem.

When the opponent pushes him away from the restricted area, he will find that the muscle stick and the big man he faces are far from what his opponents in high school and college can match.

When the complicated tactics at both ends of the attack and defense make him dizzy, an opponent's pick-and-roll or a fake action will embarrass him. Next, teammates shook their heads in disappointment, and the coach couldn't bear to look straight, even sneering mercilessly on the bench.

It's as simple as drinking water to average 5 blocks per game at Tabit University. Kwame Brown played like O 'Neill and Garnett in high school, but when it comes to licking blood, the nba, where everyone wants to rob the rookie, is as helpless as a lost goat.

And those "jumping men" who rely on lightning speed and amazing jumping will find that their IQ is crushed everywhere in this alliance.

Swift used Yao Ming as the background board when he was in the Grizzlies, but around Gasol, who is one year younger than him, his basketball IQ looks like a joke.

Later, the Rockets took the initiative to take over, and Mr. Huo, who had spent years in armor and suffered serious injuries, was better than him. Except for the futile and reckless take-off again and again, he left no unforgettable memories.

Bennett of 13 is a joke. That year was originally a draft year, and the other two top three picks, Oladipo and Otto Porter, are now playing with basic salaries. However, the Cavaliers can't forgive them for choosing this Bennett. This is only 2m 0 1, which has always been overweight. It has neither the superb player and the desire to play like dream-chasing Green, nor the explosive power like Buckley. Playing the third position is not conducive to speed and shooting, and playing the fourth position is not conducive to height and defense.

The worst champion in history deserved it.

Basketball court is not a track and field, nor is it a complete comparison of who jumps high and runs fast and who is bigger and stronger. He is a game in which ten people are present, trying to throw the ball into the basket.

There are many things to consider at this time.

Vision, decision-making, fighting spirit, hand feeling, flexibility and even physical endurance that can't be seen by physical examination alone,

Self-discipline, hard work, pressure resistance and off-court learning ability are all soft talents different from height, arm span and running and jumping ability.

In 20 13, when Bennett was the top scholar, the Bucks chose a scrawny 19-year-old Greek guy with a height of 2m. At that time, the team wanted him to be a tall point guard like Livingston, as a substitute for Brandon Wright and sessions.

Five years later, no one expected that the Greek teenager could jump 5 cm and arm himself with muscles, becoming the top fast-break monster in the history of the league.

Then this year he won the championship +fmvp, and by the way, he also won the mvp of the previous two years. This is Giannis Antetokounmpo.

He really has excellent talent, long achilles tendon, perfect waist and buttocks, and the ability to run and jump across the audience forged on the Greek cement field. But without his hard training the day after tomorrow, he would have been crushed by nba opponents. Muscle doesn't grow on him for no reason. We are amazed that Brother Xin does this every year, and no one knows how much effort he has made off the court.

Compared with the slow-moving Tabit and Bagh Gnagni, who has never practiced muscles all his life, Brother Alphabet's greatest talent is his desire for success and his unyielding fate in his youth.

In the 2009 draft, Stephen Curry, who beat the quartet in ncaa that year, averaged 28.6 points and scored 3-pointers 120 (the first in the country), leading the little-known Davis College into the quarterfinals and fell to seventh place.

There are two point guards in front of him, one is Lu Biao, a "Spanish golden boy" who shined in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and the other is Johnny Flynn who has only played in the nba for three seasons.

The defects in Curry are obvious. 1.9 meters tall is only 76 kilograms. Few people believe that he can keep his college firepower in the nba-level confrontation.

But if you remove the first impression, you will find how horrible Curry is as a rookie.

His vertical jumping power is 90.17cm, which is 91.44cm when Shao Wei entered the line.

His bench press reached 84 kg, 10 times. You know, Durant never lifted this weight once during the rookie physical examination.

Curry's more hidden talent was ignored by the teams before the seventh overall pick.

For example, he may be a gift or a genetic gift. His father threw a 3-pointer of 1245 in the nba, won the best sixth man and was the scoring champion of the Hornets.

His agility and sense of the ball can't be taught by the coach, and he finally learned his unique three-pointer technique.

And most importantly, the free and quiet personality and the killer's cold determination miraculously merged in him. Therefore, he became a unique leader. Whether it is Thompson of Man Xiu, impetuous Green or sensitive Durant, they can get along well with him. That swing and cold three-pointers hit the opponent's heart countless times.

He has become an epoch-making figure. It is difficult for you to find a similar template from the previous nba, so it is no wonder that the managers and coaches who missed him lacked imagination to break through the basketball world.

Of course, when it comes to imagination, there is one person who will make us all feel ashamed.

In a small ball era that emphasizes professionalism and highlights three points, it is difficult for us to imagine how a center should rule this league.

As strong as a shark, as smooth as a dream, and as defensive as Russell, it is hard to imagine how a center can affect the game.

There are many organized centers in history. Bill Walton, Sabonis and Ansel De all have excellent passing and one-handed attack. But no center has ever been able to complete all kinds of unpredictable assists with all kinds of coquettish techniques in various positions on the court like nikola jokic.

A quarterback like Ansel makes a long pass and is free to play.

A senior conductor like Sabonis is good at this,

Like Weber, all kinds of coquettish rote memorization are common.

Of course, if he can only pass the ball, he can't dominate the offensive end of the team as he is now, and he is at most a tall point guard.

But his magic is that he has all the offensive skills as a center.

Jokic's back push is the most skilled at present, and he is skilled in his left and right hands, elbows, hooks and Dirk's backward push.

He also has the spread beyond the three-point line and the breakthrough pace that no one can carry, so all the centers against him have to experience both technical and physical pressure.

During the 2019/20 season, he dominated almost all the top managers for a whole season, and he still led the team to the third place in the West when the second-in-command was reimbursed, the right-hand man (Grant) left and the front partner (millsap) was aging.

But in 20 14, the Nuggets selected him in the second round with a draft pick of 4 1.

At that time, he was a little fat man who could not be supported by a flat plate, weighing 125 kg. He is a "coke boy" who has just given up bad eating habits. At that time, the Nuggets had to postpone him for a year before joining, and lose weight at home first.

But it is such a fat man who entered the league, unable to jump high or run fast. Now he has grown into a unique "center with the ball", a new mvp and a large larry bird in nba history.

So can our definition of talent be completely subverted in Jokic?
