Ginobili is called 20 Minutes Jordan. Why didn't Bobo give him more playing time?

A prosperous sports car is in adversity, and a desperate demon knife cuts the devil. This sentence is a jingle compiled by Spurs fans. From this jingle, we can also see that Spurs fans love Ginobili. Whenever the Spurs are desperate, Ginobili can stand up and save the Spurs in an incredible way. Because Ginobili is a substitute in most games, averaging about 20 minutes per game, fans have also given Ginobili a very loud nickname "Twenty Minutes Jordan".

In the 1999 NBA draft, Wang, a left-handed player from China, was selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the 36th overall pick in the second round. This is the first player selected by the NBA in China men's basketball team. When China fans cheered for Wang Wang, he was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the 57th overall pick in the second round. He is Manu Ginóbili.

Rainbow Zhi Zhi, Ginobili didn't go to the NBA immediately. Unlike Wang, who can't go to the NBA for institutional reasons, Ginobili has physical problems. In fact, most of Ginobili's anthropometric data are perfect as swingers, but they are too thin. Ginobili's thinness is not only a problem of insufficient muscle circumference, but a low body fat rate, only about 4%.

There may be many friends here who have doubts. Isn't the lower the body fat rate, the better? Actually, it's not. We prefer that the body fat rate of normal people with a little body shape is generally 15-20%, and that of athletes is generally around 10%, which is better than that of excellent athletes such as Jordan and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are all around 6-7%. I mentioned in an article I wrote in qi zhou before that once the body fat rate is lower than 6%, it is generally a morbid state.

Too low body fat rate is also harmful, which can not protect internal organs or organs well, and there is no way to slow down the friction between body shock and internal organs, so it may cause gastroptosis or renal ptosis. Moreover, it may lead to poor absorption of fat-soluble vitamins by the body, and malnutrition may occur after a long time. Moreover, athletes consume a lot in the competition and need fat to provide some energy. If the body fat rate is too low, there is no way to keep the best condition on the court for a long time.

However, in the west of 2002, the Spurs' defense line was completely smashed by Kobe Bryant again, which reminded Popovich of Ginobili in Europe. At this time, Ginobili has already made a name for himself in Bologna. He is already the MVP of Italian first division, which makes Popovich eager to try. So in the 2002-03 season, Ginobili officially landed in the NBA and joined the Spurs.

Popovich recalled when Ginobili just joined the team. "When he first joined the team, he was just a thin young man. I know he is an excellent player, but to be honest, I never thought he would become such a strong player. " Manu, who first entered the NBA, is not as dazzling as he was in Europe. He is no longer the high-profile MVP.

According to Ginobili's physical condition, Popovich always arranged for him to be the sixth man, giving him about 20 minutes of playing time in each game, which lasted for more than ten years from the beginning. Ginobili played 1057 games in his NBA career, of which only 350 started and the rest were substitutes.

Popovich's use of Ginobili has also become the crowning touch of the Spurs' "dynasty". Manu is different from the traditional substitute in NBA history. He has the strength of starting players, so whenever the game enters the rotation lineup, Ginobili is like a tiger coming out of the cage, like nobody's business. This time period is also the most important moment for the Spurs to open or recover the points difference.

Since then, many strong teams have begun to follow suit, and began to arrange some players who have enough ability to play the main force in the weak teams as the replacement core. But either Crawford and Luwei, who attack the kaleidoscope and defend ten thousand people, or Terry and Gordon, who can hardly pass the ball, or Iguodala, who is old. There is no such well-equipped man as Ginobili who can attack and organize.

In 2003, the NBA introduced regional defense. Ginobili, who just entered the NBA from Europe, may be the most familiar person in the whole NBA. In the playoffs, the Spurs, who were bloodied by the Lakers 4-/kloc-0 last season, chopped off the Lakers' horse 4-2. Throughout the series, rookie Manu played against Kobe Bryant, which made him feel quite uncomfortable. Then the Spurs easily defeated the Nets in the finals and won the championship that season.

In the 2004-2005 season, the NBA introduced the NOHANDCHECK rule, and offensive players were not allowed to touch and interfere with the restricted area with their hands. Spring has come for perimeter players. Last season, the pistons of the Lakers' F4 championship in the finals were blasted by Manu alone. After seven games, the Spurs had the last laugh, which is why Spurs fans said that the league owed Ginobili an FMVP.

20 10-20 1 1 season, the Spurs played ups and downs, Duncan's data fell to the lowest in his career, and Parker, a sports car, went back to the factory for maintenance from time to time. The spurs once fell out of the playoffs. However, after the All-Star Game, Manu shouldered the Spurs and averaged 22 points from 14 before the All-Star Game, bringing the team into the playoffs. The first round of the playoffs against the Mavericks completed the Black Seven Miracle.

However, it is precisely because of the high consumption of10-1season that Ginobili made 80 appearances, including 79 starts, with an average playing time of 30.3 minutes. 1 1- 12 season Manu only played 34 games for the Spurs. That is, from the beginning of this season until Ginobili 18 retired, he played 424 games for the Spurs, but only started 10.

Ginobili played 15 season in NBA, averaging 13.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists. In any sense, he is not a superstar. However, Ginobili was able to play 15 season in the NBA with a morbid body until he retired at the age of 40. Of course, Popovich used him rationally for reasons, but it can't be said to be a legend.
