Which NBA players do not have dazzling career statistics, but many people think they are very good?

Rick Fox.

He is the captain of the Canadian national team and the main small forward during the Lakers' Triple Crown dynasty.

In his peak period, he was also a star small forward who averaged 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 steals per game, and a 36.4 three-point shooting percentage. During the Lakers' three consecutive championships, Fox, who completely transformed into 3D, became the Lakers' first iron gate to limit the sharpness of the opponent's forwards. Among them, in Game 6 of the 2000 Finals, it was he who hit the key three-pointer that allowed the Lakers to win the championship.

In the second year of the three-peat, with the departure of Glenn Rice, Fox began to assume a more important role in the Lakers' perimeter offense. That season, his three-point field goal percentage reached 39. In the fifth game of the Finals that year, Fox became the final figure in the series. He scored 20 points in the game and made 100 three-pointers.

In the final season of the three-peat, Fox played in every game and started every game. In the tiebreaker between the Western Conference Finals and the Kings, he contributed another key three-pointer and 13 points to help the team win.

There are many players who have such characteristics. Their statistics are average, but they are a rare helper for the team to win. For example: Bruce Bowen, averaging 6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 steals per game. The statistics are not eye-catching, but his defense is indeed one of the best in the league. Another example: Robert Horry averaged 7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. With such data, he repeatedly played the key role at critical moments, killing the game with one ball. But what I’m going to talk about today is Ben Wallace.

Ben Wallace is quite inspirational. He was undrafted. Due to his lack of height (2.03 meters to play center), no team was willing to give him He signed a contract and played in an NBA summer league by chance. Only then did he have the opportunity to enter NBA training and become a bench player. With his unremitting efforts, he built his body into a strong body. The period with the Pistons was his most glorious period. In 2004, facing the Lakers with the giant O'Neal inside, Ben Wallace completed the task that ordinary people could not complete, defending O'Neal alone, and restricted O'Neal very well. During the confrontation, he was knocked to the ground many times. Helped the Pistons win the championship and won the Defensive Player of the Year award many times. But his personal NBA scoring average is only 5.7 points per game. Such players are those whose statistics are not very dazzling, but whose abilities are strong and powerful.

Speaking of such a character, the name of a player comes to mind. This guy is inextricably related to the Lakers who are currently in a difficult situation. His career is difficult for superstars to compete with, but at critical moments, as long as he is on the court, he is the most important point that cannot be ignored. His role even exceeds that of many stars. This also makes him with average career data become a key killer and become famous. The world is firmly remembered by fans. Next, let’s get to know this key man.

Mr. Key - Robert Horry

Horry was born in 1970 and was brought into the NBA by the Rockets in 1992. In his 16-year career, Horry averaged 7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. From a statistical point of view, Horry is only a small role, but in his career, he helped three teams win a total of seven championships. You read that right, one more time than Mr. Joe, and more importantly, Horry played a very key role in these championship trophies.

In the first game of the 1995 Western Conference Finals, Horry used a mid-range shot to kill the Spurs and help the team get first blood in the Western Conference Finals.

In the third game of the 1995 Finals, at the last moment, Horry received the ball from Olajuwon and scored a three-pointer to help the team expand the score to 3-0, and finally swept the Magic. , defended the championship immediately.

In the second game of the 1997 Western Conference semifinals, facing the Jazz, Horry used 7 three-pointers to help the OK combination solve Utah's troubles.

The 2001 Western Conference Finals was the pinnacle of Horry's life. At that time, the Lakers were trailing 1-2, and the game came to the fourth game. If they lost again, the Lakers might go home. The game came to the last seconds, and the Lakers fell behind by 2 points. Kobe and O'Neal missed one after another, and the ball was Kings center Divac hit the three-point line, and Horry, who happened to be at the three-point line, received the ball and hit a three-pointer. Horry helped the Lakers win a key victory. In the end, the Lakers eliminated the past and swept 4-0. The Nets won the championship.

In the 2002 playoffs against the Trail Blazers, in the last 10.2 seconds, Horry received a pass from Kobe and ended the game with a three-pointer.

Accepted in the 2002 season, the Lakers did not keep Horry, and Horry signed with the Spurs to become a part of the Spurs. In 2004, Horry helped the Spurs win the championship. Throughout the playoffs, he made 38 of 85 shots and became the Spurs' most stable scoring point. In the fifth game of the Finals against the Pistons, Horry suddenly broke out in the fourth quarter and scored 21 points. In the end, Horry killed the game with a three-pointer and led the team to a 3-2 advantage. The Spurs also won the championship this season.

Wild lilies also have spring, and little guys can kill the game. Although Horry's statistics are not outstanding, as long as he is on the court, no one dares to take him lightly.

Data cannot reflect the full strength and efficiency of an athlete. Especially in the NBA, there are always some players who are silent and very low-key at ordinary times, but at critical moments they are able to turn the tide and attack with the core of the team. The city was fortified.

In this regard, Iguodala can be said to be the perfect candidate. Is Iguodala's data good? A player who averages 7 points per game can get the team to offer a three-year contract worth 48 million, but no one will say it's not worth it. This is Iguodala's strength, his strength at critical moments. .

Fans who watch the NBA should all know that there is a player in the Warriors who can do almost nothing except defense during the regular season. He does not take any wide-open shooting opportunities. You are such a player. But I have to say that he is really awesome! Especially in the playoffs and finals, Iguodala's coffin was completely unstoppable, and the first brother also completely began to hurt the FMVP. Extremely aggressive defense, critical-moment shooting, and various cuts began to take turns. During the finals, James' free throw line dunk against James was surprising. This is a 33-year-old player.

Even James feels terrible about Iguodala who doesn’t pretend to be dead. Although the data is not very good, Iguodala’s figure always appears in every corner of the game, and the more critical moments The more stable it is, the Warriors will win the championship, and Iguodala will make a lot of invisible contributions!

Then there is Robert Horry in the Big Heart City. His statistics are really not dazzling, and he is worse than Iguodala, but he just relied on key goals to score seven total games. champion. The offense at critical moments has been solved by Horry many times. The Lakers won the championship with key balls, and the same is true for the Spurs.

One trick can be eaten everywhere. Except for his key ball ability, the rest is really not that good, but it is this key ball that made him famous in the NBA.

You are as strong as you are, Nick Young! Young Shaoxia Yang is currently at home, but back then Nick Young was a quasi-All-Star. In the Warriors, he helped the team win a championship trophy. In the Lakers, the boss Kobe was a death warrior who refused to give the ball to him! Don’t ask me why: I’m Nick Young.

The Lakers era was also the peak period of Nick Young. At that time, Kobe was already the most authoritative boss in the Lakers. He loved post-up singles, played alone and was not good at passing. The ball requires a lot of possession. Also in the Lakers, Nick Young played more uniquely than Kobe. Once the ball is in his hands, don't expect him to pass it out.

But Nick Young naturally had his reasons for doing this. That was his peak period. Let's see how strong he played.

In the 13-14 season, even if Yang Shaoxia came off the bench, he averaged 17.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.5. In the 14-15 season, he averaged 17.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Scored 13.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists.

In addition to Kobe, Nick Young can better share the pressure of the Lakers on the offensive end, especially his singles. When he feels hot, he faces the defense of two players. Can also hit the rim with ease. It can be said that Nick Young's singles at his peak cannot be said to be invincible, but he is still top-notch in singles.

Nick Young is a 34-year-old veteran. He was waived by the Nuggets this season after playing 4 games with a salary of US$310,000. In addition to Wade, Nick Young is also the most promising NBA player to join the CBA. However, given Yang Shaoxia's casual personality, he has not yet made any clear example.

Generally speaking, this kind of player will have a huge impact on the defensive end, or have lucky attributes. Next, let’s talk about a player whose statistics are not dazzling but make people feel powerful in my mind.

Iguodala: Since leaving the Nuggets, Iguodala has changed the way he plays. His keen defensive sense and excellent wingspan make him full of temperament on the court, often leaving the opponent's scoring arrows at a loss. But we can always see that his statistics are not so gorgeous, but his role is no less than that of any player.

Covington: Similar to Iguodala, Covington doesn't like offense so much, he likes defense very much. His body is not as strong as Iguodala, and his blocking and steals are not as fierce, but he can still reduce the opponent's shooting percentage. After leaving the 76ers, without Embiid's cover, Covington's offensive efficiency further declined. He was able to get playing time precisely because of his defensive skills.

Tony Allen: I don’t like and I don’t know how to attack, but you don’t want to score goals either. This is Tony Allen’s basketball philosophy. He once missed four consecutive fast break layups, but every coach liked him. He is famous for his defense against Kobe and Durant. After Kobe retired, he said that Tony Allen was the best player to defend him, and Durant could not forget the shadow that Tony Allen had brought to him. Allen is such a player with bleak statistics, but pleasing to the eye.

I can't list every player, everyone is welcome to discuss!

There are many players in the NBA. Their statistics may be very inconspicuous, but they will still be recognized by fans. They all have extraordinary talents and big hearts. It is hard to accept them. Robert Holly

Holly, who was born in 1970, was selected by the Rockets with the 11th pick in the first round of 1992. He retired in the 2007-08 season. In his 16-year career, he played for four teams and played 1,107 games. There were only 481 starts in the regular season, his career statistics were only 7 4.8 2.1, and his highest season score was only 12 points. Such a player has created his own brilliance and won seven championships, all of which were Played an important role in the Rockets. Without Horry's three-pointer, the Rockets would have lost the first game of the 1995 Western Conference Finals. In the third game of the Finals, at the last moment, Horry received the ball from Olajuwon. A three-pointer helped the team expand the score to 3-0, and finally swept the Magic and defended the championship.

At the end of Game 4 of the 2001 Western Conference Finals, the Lakers trailed by two points. Kobe O'Neal missed one after another, and the ball fell into Holly's hands. He made a three-pointer with his hand and went ahead by 1 point to win the game. The team avoided the embarrassment of 1:3 and later won the championship without any blood. In the 2002 playoffs against the Trail Blazers, in the last 10.2 seconds, Horry received a pass from Kobe and ended the game with a three-pointer.

When he arrived at the Spurs, in Game 5 of the 2005 Finals, Horry suddenly broke out in the fourth quarter and scored 21 points. In the end, Horry killed the game with a three-pointer and led the team to victory. With a 3-2 advantage, the Spurs finally won the championship this season.

It can be said that no matter Olajuwon, O'Neal or Duncan will be grateful to Holly. After all, without his time and time saving lives, history may have to be rewritten, so seven championships are also the most important thing for him. Good compliments. Fisher

Fisher, who was born in 1974, joined the Lakers in 1996 when he and Kobe Bryant arrived. He was nicknamed Xiaoyu. Fisher, who played more than 1,200 games in his 18-year career, had a data of only 8.3 2.1 3. He is not even a qualified starter, but such a small fish plays an important role in the history of the Lakers. Even Kobe calls him big brother.

Fisher has a terrible pattern. For 13 consecutive seasons from 1999 to 2012, as long as Fisher’s team enters the playoffs, if Fisher’s team does not win the championship , must have lost to the final championship. Victory is king, defeat is glory. Fisher's peak moment, the 2003-04 season, the fifth game of the Western Conference semifinals, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Spurs had a chance to win with Duncan's off-balance shot in 0.4 seconds. But Fisher's magical final 0.4-second kill completed an incredible reversal. In Game 4 of the 2009 Finals, Fisher sealed overtime with a three-pointer and buried the Magic with a three-pointer.

It can be said that during the OK period, Fisher was the third core of the team, but he did not compete for fame or fortune. He won the respect of O'Neal and Kobe, and later assisted Kobe in achieving two consecutive championships. There is no doubt about Sher's role. For such a small character to be recognized by two big bosses, his strength cannot be underestimated.

Players like Holly and Fisher are beyond the reach of any team, and it is the performance of these role players that once again confirms the diversity of the NBA. Leigh and Fisher, are you convinced? I'm Sun Shisan, like to follow me!

Diaw

The French magician, as a player of the 2003 generation, was not particularly outstanding when he entered the league. It was not until the 05-06 season that he came to the Suns. Under the leadership of Steve Nash, The Suns in those years were indeed the peak period of D'Antoni's offensive system, but at that time, the league's offense won the game, and defense could win the championship. Diaw, who came to the Suns, averaged 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, which can be said to be the best. He has a strong sense of presence on the court, can shoot and organize, has a very high basketball IQ and vision, and his selfless style of play makes him a duck to water. The most impressive thing is his big butt, he can throw three-pointers, and he can defend. Don't be too comprehensive, he is the ultimate all-round player! The Spurs had him in 2014, because his presence made the Spurs' system more versatile and complete. Cooperating with his French teammate Parker was simply the most wonderful basketball. Do you still have the impression of Janeway who was dominated by him back then? Facing the Heat with outstanding athletic ability and talent, Diaw was able to use his big butt to move around and produce beautiful output. Not only did the fans feel that he had a strong sense of presence, but even Mr. Popovich also relied on him very much. , similar to those old men on the field who like to play and cooperate. Even if you fly into the sky and escape from the ground, you can't stop him from moving around. As an opponent, he is the kind of flexible and fat man who makes you despair. As a teammate, you will be very I like him, he is humble, low-key, smart, skilled and reliable. This is Dior!

When I saw this question, the first name that came into my mind was: Tony Allen. Maybe many young fans are not familiar with this name, because he is not a star player, and he has hardly been seen in the league since last season, but when you ask Kobe, Harden, Durant, Who are the defenders that scoring machines like James and Irving would least like to encounter in the game? I believe Tony Allen will be in the top three.

Yes, defense is Tony Allen’s label and the basis for his foothold in the league. He has been selected to the league’s defensive first team three times and the league’s defensive second team three times, and in 2007 -Won the championship with the Celtics in the 2008 season. On October 13, 2017, the Grizzlies officially announced that they would retire Allen's No. 9 jersey in the future. What an honor it is to have the jersey retired, but Tony Allen only averaged 8.9 points per game for the Grizzlies. 4.3 rebounds.

To support my statement, I quote an interview about Kobe. In one of Kobe’s interviews, the host asked Kobe who was the best defensive player he had ever experienced in his career. When Kobe Bryant said Tony Allen's name without hesitation. He said: "He (Tony Allen) is the only one who doesn't yell for help when defending. When he faces you, he goes head-to-head with you, even if I keep on his head. He will continue to fight against you and put pressure on you, so I choose Tony Allen.”

In his entire career, Tony Allen’s most brilliant statistics were from 2006 to 2007. During the season, he averaged 11.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game, while his career averages were only 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 steals. This kind of data can only be said to be too ordinary in the league. Although the data is not eye-catching, when talking about him, few people do not give him a thumbs up.

Horry is the King of the Rings among role players! The difference is that Russell relies on defense to win the championship, while Horry relies on offense! In the entire 16 seasons of his career, he won seven championships, and all the teams he worked for in his 16 years of career entered the playoffs. Some fans call him Mr. Playoffs!

Dameng also gave the key ball to Horry, and Horry faced the defense and hit a three-pointer to help the team win the series 3:0.
