Reason for the nickname

There is a nickname called "AK47", which is taken from the first two letters of his name and his jersey number. And his comprehensive and tough style of play is indeed like a heavy machine gun.

1. Kirilenko’s full name is Andrei Kirilenko, and the first character of his first and last name matches AK.

2.AK47 is produced in Russia and is of the same clan as Kirilenko.

3. After Kirilenko joined the NBA, he was impotent and chose No. 47.

4. He has extremely strong explosive power and good physical fitness. He has the energy to continuously put pressure on his opponents on both offense and defense. This is the same as the crazy shooting of AK47.

[Edit this paragraph] Character introduction

Wonderful ball-protecting action

Born in Iraq, the capital of the Russian Federation’s Udmurt Autonomous Republic Rhevsk has the most famous military factory in Russia. It was there that Mika Kalashnikov made the first AK-47. AK grew up in St. Petersburg and began studying professional basketball. He participated in the Russian League on behalf of the local team St. Petersburg Spartak when he was less than 16 years old, becoming the youngest player in the history of the league. Two years later, he left Petersburg and entered the CSKA Moscow team. In the first year, he helped the team win the league championship and was selected into the All-Star lineup of the Russian League that year. The Best Rookie of the Year in Europe in 1999. In the 4th European All-Star Game at the end of 1999, as the youngest player, he grabbed 10 points and 8 rebounds for the Eastern Team, making great contributions to the Eastern Team's victory.

Andrei Kirilenko joined the Utah Jazz with the 24th overall pick in the first round of 1999. He was only 18 years and 4 months old at the time. Became the youngest foreign player ever selected in the NBA draft. AK played for CSKA Moscow for another two years, participating in the European League.

And became the first player in the European League to score a triple-double. 13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 steals. At the Sydney Olympics, the No. 13 main power forward of the Russian team. Joined Utah Jazz in 2001. Kirilenko combines the stability of European players with the toughness of American players. Although his body looks a bit frail, his tough style in the interior often brings unexpected help to the team. His offense mostly focuses on mid-range shots and inside attacks, and his shooting is not stable. On the defensive side, due to his good jumping, long arms, and good shot-blocking awareness, Te has become the most terrifying defensive player in the league and a master of shot-blocking. When defending outside players, he can also use his long arms to steal the ball and form a fast break.

[Edit this paragraph] Honors

Selected to the NBA Rookie First Team in the 2001-2002 season, selected to the LA All-Star Game in 2004, and selected to the NBA in the 2003-2004 season and 2004-2005 season. The second defensive team, the NBA block leader in the 2004-2005 season. In the 2003-2004 season, AK ranked fourth in the league in steals and fifth in blocks, becoming the first player in NBA history to rank in these two technical statistics. Players who are all in the top five.

In the game against the Lakers on January 9, 2006, Kirilenko contributed 14 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 7 blocks and 6 steals, becoming the first player in NBA history Following "Big Dream" Olajuwon and David Robinson, one person has contributed "6×5" data in a single game.

At the European Championships in September 2007, AK47 led Russia all the way to the finals and defeated the Spanish team led by Gasol to win the championship. Nowitzki, who won the European Player of the Year last year, ranked second in this selection, Gasol's fellow countryman Calderon ranked third, Tony Parker and Lithuania's Rama Sisikauskas ranked respectively. Fourth and fifth. "Andrei (Kirilenko) deserves this honor," FIBA ??European President George Vasilakopoulos said in an interview. "This summer, a very small number of people were optimistic about Russia winning the championship, but they ended up The general secretary of the FIBA ??European League said: "Andre is one of the best players in the world. He led the team to defeat Spain this summer and won the first place in Europe." In competition, you must have such talented players."

[Edit this paragraph] Comprehensive evaluation

[Offense]

A combination of European offensive techniques. American aggressive style of play. AK is one of the best off-ball players in the NBA. A player who is very good at using team tactics to get rid of markers through running and screening. Because of his height and physical fitness, he often causes the opponent's misplaced defense. Facing a defensive player shorter than himself, AK will usually hold the ball and attack hard. The breakthrough with the ball is direct and neat, without any unnecessary movements. He is definitely a player who fights as a whole. He holds the ball for a short time. If he cannot find an offensive opportunity, he will immediately hand the ball to his teammates. He has solid basic skills, is a threat from beyond the three-point line, has good mid-range shooting stability, and is a player that the opponent's defense cannot ignore. His offensive ambition is not very strong, so never expect him to score more than 40 points (the highest in his career so far is 31 points). Can grab offensive rebounds for a second offense. Average ball control ability, no defender ability. He has a wide field of vision and can find gaps in the opponent's defense.

Fierce defense - blocking [defense]

A terrifying defensive player and a master of blocking shots. AK can always appear in the path of the ball, using his long wingspan and extraordinary physical fitness to snatch the ball. Don't be afraid of any type of player and never try to outsmart AK. Blocks shots cleanly and is rarely troubled by foul trouble. Regardless of the front or side, AK can always cover the ball at the highest point. This shows his inspiration for the route of the ball. He will take advantage of his teammates' defense and jump from behind his teammates to block the ball. The defense is in place, the steal is determined and ruthless. He has a good defensive attitude and never slacks off on the court. A defensive player who can create a psychological shadow on the entire opposing team. Did a great job protecting the defensive rebounds.

[Psychology]

Fearless, brave, mentally stable, and full of passion for playing. Full marks for attitude, going all out on both sides of the field. He is not the kind of player who gets more nervous and excited, so he is not a suitable candidate for clutch shooting.

Kirilenko’s dunk [physical fitness]

Super.

For white players, it should be considered super. Possibly the most explosive white player in history (I couldn't think of a more explosive player than him after thinking about it for a long time), and his physical fitness is top-notch even among black people. Very thin, but definitely powerful, with a long wingspan (no number, I estimate it to be around 7 feet 2), which gives offensive players the illusion. His bones are very strong and he is not afraid of any kind of physical confrontation. But after all, he is thin, and long-term physical confrontation consumes too much physical strength, and he is not capable of fighting the big black man inside for the whole game. Overall he is relatively healthy, having only missed 6 games a*** in the first three seasons. But he missed half of last season due to a broken wrist.

Amazing passing [position]

Sometimes he is pushed to the PF position by Utah, but he mainly plays SF. Playing PF with AK consumes your physical strength too quickly, and your body is too thin. Still playing SF can bring out his strengths: running without the ball, defensive awareness, and fast breaks. But AK can never play as an organizational or shooter-type small forward. His position is a bit awkward in the NBA and he cannot use his all-round offensive talents.

[Character]

Although he is Russian, he is very popular in the United States. Good English and good social skills. Especially a leader who has prestige and can bring confidence to his teammates to win.

[Potential]

The style of play has basically taken shape, and there is still room for improvement in statistics, but the impact on the game may not be greatly improved.

[General Comment]

He is not the kind of player who can lead his team to become an NBA champion by himself. His attack abilities are limited and he needs a good helper. But defensively, he is definitely the kind of player that every coach in the league dreams of. Utah's leader is only 24 years old now. As long as he gets rid of injuries, he will definitely become one of the best players in the league.
