It can be said that Rodman is definitely a genius in rebounding, which is of course inseparable from his own efforts. From 9 1-92 season to 97/98 season, Rodman has won the rebounding championship for seven consecutive seasons, which is the longest record of monopoly rebounding championship in the history of the league, even better than Chamberlain, a big guard who has not yet completed such a feat. Moreover, Rodman's era is the heyday of the four centers, so his rebounding king is particularly precious. His five 30+ rebounds in a single game are also the highest personal record in the league since the 85-86 season. Last season, andre drummond won the championship by averaging 16 rebounds per game. He averaged 5.65,438+0 offensive rebounds per game and was the first player to average 5+ offensive rebounds per game since the 1997-98 season. Rodman had averaged 5+ offensive rebounds per game for seven consecutive seasons, and even reached 6+ in one season.
In my impression, Rodman always put rebounding and defense first. In fact, Rodman still had a good offensive ability at the beginning of his career. In the 87-88 season, Rodman averaged 1 1.6 points, 8.7 rebounds 1.6 assists, which was the only season that scored in double figures. Since then, Rodman began to focus on rebounding. At home 199 1 1 against the nuggets, Rodman 1 scored 34 points 2 1 rebounds, a career high. On February 27th of the same year, the Pistons challenged the Cavaliers away. Rodman made 3 of 4 3-pointers and got 15 points 15 rebounds. This shows that Rodman will not attack, but he put more energy into defense and rebounding.
In fact, Rodman's golf dealer is very high, and Jordan is also very sure, but his childhood is very miserable, which is also the main reason for his weird personality and special behavior in his later period. However, Rodman's achievements in rebounding are absolutely historic, and perhaps this is the result of concentration.
In the eyes of most people, Rodman is a blue-collar player who is good at defending and rebounding. Few people will evaluate his performance on the offensive end, especially during the bull period. Rodman is basically creating opportunities for his teammates and rarely scores independently.
So, how is Rodman's offensive ability? Let's look at his data:
During his seven seasons in Detroit, Rodman averaged only 6.5 points per game in his rookie season, while he averaged about 10 points in the other six seasons. The highest season was in his sophomore year, averaging 1 1.6 points. That season, Rodman averaged 8.4 two-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 56.8%. In that era when he was not good at three-pointers, Rodman could hardly throw three-pointers, averaging 0.2 three-pointers per game and shooting only 29.4%.
In the seven seasons of Pistons, Rodman averaged 8.8 points per game and shot 55.8% from two points. Obviously, as a bad boy, Rodman can still give the team some help on the offensive end.
But it was different when he came to the Bulls. During his three seasons with the Bulls, Rodman's average score dropped to 5.2 points. In both games, he made 4.4 shots, and his shooting percentage was less than 50%: 47.3%. Because in the triangle offense, Rodman himself is not responsible for scoring. On the offensive end, he mainly helps Jordan and Pippen find the easiest scoring opportunities, and when there is an opportunity, he will add icing on the cake from time to time.
Rodman's offensive means are mainly cut-in and fast break, and there is a second attack. Uncle Hua's secondary attack ability is top-notch. As Joe Wang once introduced, Rodman will study the placement of everyone's shots one field at a time. With more accurate impact point judgment, he will naturally have a better chance of a second attack. From the perspective of projection, Rodman's career shooting percentage of 23. 1% is definitely not good, but in that era when three-pointers were not included in conventional tactics, such performance was not bad.
Generally speaking, Rodman lacks the ability to create opportunities by independent attack, but the second attack, cut-in and fast break can still threaten the opponent on the offensive end.
Let's talk about a "cold knowledge" first: only from the data point of view, Rodman's scoring ability before entering the league was better than Jordan's ... But objectively speaking, Rodman was a player who couldn't eat a good cake in the later stage of his career, especially during the bull period.
Let's take a look at Rodman's university performance:
At this point alone, Rodman was definitely a super scorer in college, right? Jordan averaged only 20 points in the highest season of his career ... but as I said at the beginning, it's just from the data, because he played in the NAIA league instead of the NCAA.
However, it should be noted that although this league is not the top league like NCAA, you can't call it "Pheasant League", because the level of this league is actually not bad, except that NAIA is a private university league with fewer teams and fewer players. Maybe the level at that time was lower than NCAA's 1 level and higher than level 2. Therefore, whether the data of Rodman University can be directly used to horizontally benchmark Jordan is a matter of opinion. I'm just providing this objective fact.
That is, because of his eye-catching offensive ability in college, Chuck Daley noticed this short power forward with a height of only 198cm (actually not 198).
At first, the coach thought that Rodman's running consciousness, tactical understanding ability, game reading ability, empty cutting consciousness and layup ability were all good, and his passing vision was also excellent. Daley once said in an interview that at first he hoped Rodman would develop into the core of the team's No.2 organization, and wanted to cultivate him into another "No.3 Joe Du Masi" with both offensive and defensive skills and strong organizational ability (Daley just started to let him play No.3). Jackson also said that Rodman's passing vision is the best among the league's inside players, which is why he was allowed to join his own triangle offense system. Well, I think the most underrated thing about him is his organizational ability. Although he averaged 1.8 assists per game in his career, in fact, his passing skills, such as long pass, high position cooperation, and moving indirectly to his teammates, are excellent.
Therefore, from college to the end of the second season of NBA career, Rodman's offensive ability (including not only scoring, but also organization and series) must be underestimated, because his rebounding ability is first-class, the scoring efficiency of the second attack is extremely high, he has a certain projection ability (but the range is not enough), and his sense of empty cut and layup is even first-class. It also has the organization and serial ability of "weakened version of Green", and the piston's career hit rate reached 53.9%.
(The animation above just wants to tell you that Rodman had the ability to face the restricted area in his early days, often shooting with the ball and being a big guard. Never mind the "knee goal" ...)
However, this is only the early stage ... From the beginning of the 9 1~92 season, Rodman's desire to score dropped sharply, and the tactical demand on the offensive end decreased. Because he didn't polish his scoring skills for several seasons, Rodman's scoring ability was basically lost in the later period!
Rodman used to grab offensive rebounds by himself, but when he started to grab rebounds that season, he first found his teammates; In the past, Daley had specially designed and arranged Rodman's empty cut tactics, but that season was cancelled, allowing him to focus on rebounding and defense; In the past, he often used his feet to hit tall guards or pull them to the elbow position, but he basically didn't see them at the beginning of that season. The main sources of his score are the make-up basket, fast break and free throw after the split …
In the past few seasons, the hit rate during the bull period was only in the early 45%, averaging less than 5 shots per game. Even blue-collar workers don't do this, do they? Even I feel that he "forgot" how to throw the ball into the basket, even it is difficult to make up the basket, and he can "spit" you out when he has the opportunity to feed the cake …
Fortunately, however, his organizational and tactical running ability has not been lost. He played a very important role in Jackson's triangle attack system, and the quality of pick-and-roll was getting higher and higher. In addition to rebounding protection, he also played a vital role in the offensive end of the Bull Dynasty.
So Rodman's offensive ability is actually excellent, even if your understanding of "offensive ability" is limited to scoring. Because of other scoring skills, such as face frame, catch and throw, pick and roll, empty cut, make-up, conversion and so on. Both, but this is only in the early stage, only before the 9 1~92 season. After 1992, due to the shift of work focus and the reduction of tactical demand, he gradually lost his scoring ability because he didn't like attacking very much. Rodman was in a bull market.
"When I was in Chicago Bulls, it only took me 15 minutes to learn the triangle attack. In fact, it is not difficult. This is a triangle and everyone has a chance to touch the ball and shoot. " Rodman once made such remarks about Anthony's inadaptability to the triangle attack.
I personally understand that it took him fifteen minutes to understand that the triangle attack is to give the ball to Jordan for singles, and then judge the impact and rebound of the ball. Michael Jordan once commented on him: "I have never seen anyone learn the complicated offensive tactics of the Bulls so quickly as Rodman, and even I can't control it myself."
After reading some highlights of the attack during the bull period, Rodman's ability of walking without the ball, empty cutting and coping is excellent, especially good at judging the impact of the ball after the opponent shoots, and then rebounding to get a second attack.
He knows exactly where the team needs him and what he needs to do. He also knows that his height, weight and wingspan are not dominant, but his speed of playing, that is, his ability to take off continuously, is unparalleled in the world, so he will study the shooting characteristics of the other team's main scorer before each game, analyze the landing point of the ball after the opponent's shooting, and then appear in the most suitable position (Jordan once introduced).
During the bull period, he didn't need to undertake too many scoring tasks. The offensive end is mainly to help Jordan and Pippen find easier scoring opportunities as far as possible, and then actively strive for rebounds and occasionally throw a few at will when he is interested. Over time, he was not interested in scoring and began to concentrate on rebounding.
There are many wonderful data in my career, including 0: 28 rebounds, 0: 25 rebounds, 0: 24 rebounds, 3: 27 rebounds and 4: 26 rebounds. Career 14 games with more than 27 rebounds, team 13 games, so people who teach Akagi Sakuragi (Rodman prototype) can dominate the basketball court. His career rebounding rate reached 23.44% (Howard and Jordan Jr. nearly 2 1%), and the highest in the season was 29.7%, which means that he grabbed every three rebounds on the basketball court.
Please forgive my shortcomings.
Speaking of Rodman, apart from a flashy head, I'm afraid the first thing people think of is his rebounding, grabbing the ball and rebounding. His height is not high, maybe about 2 meters, but he became a famous rebounding king through constant entanglement and jumping. Even he himself said that he didn't care about attacking at all, only defending.
But we can't underestimate Rodman's attack and be distracted by the flow of impressions. In fact, Rodman is a very energetic and skilled player, not a rude person.
First of all, he has a certain three-point ability. In the early stage of his career, for example, when he was in the Spurs or Pistons, Rodman made three points from time to time and his shooting percentage was not too outrageous.
In addition, Rodman's passing ability is not bad, and his ability to find someone quickly in the fast break is very strong, which is a bit similar to the feeling of chasing dreams now.
However, because his blue-collar job is excellent and the bulls are not short of offensive firepower, his full-time blue-collar job is also good.
Dennis rodman, who attacked Oscar Pistorius, belongs to the upper-middle class in my concept. And let me first interpret my personal "offensive concept" on the basketball court.
In all basketball games, many people think that only "goal" is a good performance of offensive ability, but friends who have watched the ball for a long time can understand that every attack of the team actually needs the cooperation of the whole team, including pick and roll, cooperation, cover, running without the ball, space pulling, offensive rebounding and so on. Even if the last key goal is scored, the team's number one star will "hit it with one blow". Many times, it is necessary for the inside players to improve their positions and get better shooting space with the help of cover.
For dennis rodman, the lack of shooting ability makes him lack enough space to pull people, but the fight for cover and offensive rebounds makes him a point that cannot be ignored on the offensive end-"Whoever controls the rebound will be able to master the direction of the game."
In fact, Rodman almost monopolized the honor of rebounding king after coming to the Bulls and became Jordan's most effective assistant. During this period, almost every game averaged more than 6 rebounds in the frontcourt. It can be said that the help brought to the team is irreplaceable by anyone-a simple phenomenon, even if you and I are in the outfield, you can imagine the shooting confidence brought by a partner who can grab the board.
At the same time, the two consecutive championships in the bull period are the most successful stage of "triangle attack" led by Phil Jackson, the "Zen master", and Rodman's dominance in the field of rebounding has brought great support to the "triangle attack". Imagine that in the slow-paced game at that time, a person who averaged 16- 17 rebounds per game was passionate and proficient in all kinds of garbage to provoke opponents. The help he brought to the team on the offensive end was more emotional and morale encouragement, and of course. ...
However, some people may say "emotion", which seems to be "metaphysics" on the basketball court, but let's take a look at the series of 1996 Bulls against seattle supersonics. "Rodman directly helped the Bulls win two games", which was the evaluation of Rodman by george karl, the head coach of the SuperSonics at that time. In those two games, "Big Bug" Rodman got 10 points and 20 rebounds-including 1 1 frontcourt rebounds; Another 9 points, 19 rebounds-including 1 1 frontcourt rebounds and 5 assists.
This kind of data makes dennis rodman's presence on the offensive end full, and the excellent rebound in the frontcourt brings more opportunities for the second attack-in fact, dennis rodman's ability to complete the second attack end with excellent take-off is also excellent.
Since Rodman entered the league, except for his rookie season, he averaged 6.5 points per game, and his sophomore year was the highest when he scored-1 1.6 points per game, but even so, he averaged only 8.4 shots per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 56.8%. In the seven seasons of Pistons, the average shooting percentage can reach 55%~
The middle two years are considered as Rodman's "most unhappy" years in the Spurs. After all, Rodman's character was overwhelmed by the old man and then he moved to Chicago Bulls. Here, there are scorers like Jordan and Pippen. Rodman naturally doesn't need to invest more experience on the offensive end. He just needs to cooperate and cover on the offensive end and ensure the output of rebounds in the frontcourt. This is also the period when he participated in the defensive end the most. Naturally, his presence on the offensive end is insufficient.
This guy didn't play nba until he was 25. I loved him the most when I watched the ball, and the banker was extremely high. Jordan, who plays for the Pistons, has no temper. When he went to the Spurs, he told the Twin Towers what defense is and what rebounding is. Let him work for you. First of all, he must admire you. When the pistons played buddy basketball, they didn't even see blood. Just ask Jordan then. Unfortunately, the five tigers were later dissolved. The twin towers of Spurs and Bobo were not yet in the climate. That's not good, that's not good. I'll just tell you what defense and rebounding are. Bull Jordan and his coach admired him very much, so he showed his housekeeping skills and played ball. It is estimated that Jordan also admires him, otherwise Jordan's position in the Bulls can completely veto the signing of him. I don't think this guy's defensive position is much different from Jordan's offensive position. He said he wouldn't score. You show Jordan how to rebound. The reason is the same. America is a traditional society, and even a maverick like Rodman doesn't like it, but he didn't let go because everyone on the field wanted to hit him.
In fact, I personally think its attack power is there, but it can't be regarded as top or excellent, but it may be lower or middle level.
And his role in the Bulls is to defend and rebound. In fact, there is a division of labor academically, and it cannot be forced. He made contributions to both defense and offense.
If he hadn't been positioned as a defender at the beginning, his offensive ability would have improved without Jordan in other teams. The problem is that if Jordan is around him, he doesn't need to take part in any more attacks. It is wise to help Jordan transition.
Rodman is definitely the most serious player in the NBA. Graduated from the diploma mill without a ball and went to the airport as a security guard. At the age of 25, he officially entered the NBA, with 0 points and 28 rebounds, 0 points and 24 rebounds, 3 points and 27 rebounds, and 4 points and 26 rebounds. These figures were set by Rodman.
There is a view that "during the bull period, the team attacked Jordan and Rodman didn't need to score." Rodman scored less. In fact, he just doesn't have any independent offensive ability. His offensive ability is not underestimated, but he has the spirit of "I don't know what you have scored", which makes his defensive aggression very strong. After all, he is the best defensive player twice, defending champion seven times and rebounding king seven times. ...
During his 14 career, five teams, aged from 25 to 39, averaged 7.3 points per game, 13. 1 rebound. Only one season scored in double figures. He is one of the few players who average more rebounds than average. Another player may be Ben. He averaged 5.8 shots per game, and his shooting percentage was 52. 1%, which is not low for the insider.
The highlight of his career can be divided into two stages, one is Detroit stage, the other is Bulls stage, Detroit "Good Boy Corps", until 1990 replaced Mahong in the starting power forward position, until 1993 left and became the leading rebounding king in NBA. But his score is actually not bad. He has been a starter for three years, averaging nearly 9 points per game, mainly relying on secondary attacks and open shots.
Rodman's real offensive ability is that he has no independent offensive ability. Cappella can still eat cakes. After all, the team needed him to score, but what Rodman did was pick up the lost cake and feed it to others. Cappella's score in the rocket Eat Cake must have been designed by D 'Antoni. In other words, cappella is an important part of the offense, and Rodman scored by the day. As an offensive system of bulls, he is actually involved in protecting rebounds.
As one of the Big Three Bulls, Rodman's role in winning three consecutive championships is to rebound and disgust his opponents. He is like Jordan's bodyguard, ensuring the safety of his opponent's inside runner.
Offensively, his greatest advantage is that he can attack twice. Thanks to his strong rebounding ability, he can find Jordan directly as the initiator of fast break, or he can push the ball to Jordan in the middle circle. Rodman is smart in rebounding in the frontcourt. He can even act as the central axis of the triangle attack. His three years in Chicago were the highest assists of his career. He can either pretend to play alone and find Pippen and Jordan, or seize the opportunity to rebound and score directly. The second attack was his main chance to score. In positional warfare, because he did not have the ability of singles, he was not superior to the power forward at that time in height and weight, and his skills were still lacking. He seldom plays singles one-on-one. That's Jordan's job.
Jordan once said that Rodman would study the shooting posture of the opponent's main scorer in every game, so as to accurately judge the landing point. In the triangle attack, Rodman is mainly responsible for rebounding, followed by assists. His offensive end tried to help Jordan and Pippen find the right scoring opportunities. Apart from the second attack, his cut and fast break are ok.
Rodman basically has no ability to score independently. It is almost impossible for him to be the core of attack like O 'Neill and Malone, and it is almost impossible for him to fly to the ground like Kemp. In itself, his value is no longer scored. Scoring is his additional function in defense and rebounding. You can't expect him to be very useful, but he never loses his grip at a critical moment.
When the Bulls won three consecutive championships, people thought of Jordan and Pippen, and another person's play was also crucial, and that was Rodman. Although Rodman's offensive ability is average, he escorts the bulls on the defensive end. In the last three championships of Bulls, Rodman became a qualified blue-collar player. Try your best to rebound on the court. So how does Rodman's actual offensive ability compare with defense?
We can see from the data that Rodman averaged 7.3 points in his career, shooting 52. 1% and shooting 23. 1%. He played in Detroit for seven seasons, and his rookie season averaged only 6.5 points, but in the following six years, he averaged more than 10 points. In the seven seasons of Pistons, Rodman averaged 8.8 points per game and shot 55.8%, which shows that his efficiency is still quite high, but he lacks offensive means and relies more on eating cakes in the basket or scoring points in the second attack.
Rodman was 36 years old when I arrived at the Bulls, so he couldn't help the team much on the offensive end. In addition, the team has two scoring experts, Jordan and Pippen, and Rodman only needs to defend. In the three seasons of Bulls, Rodman averaged 5.2 points per game and shot only 47.3%. At that time, Rodman's offensive means were mainly cut-in and fast break. Because of his strong rebounding ability, he can complete the second attack many times and help the team score.
But overall, Rodman's scoring ability is not outstanding, and he lacks the ability to create opportunities independently. However, you are still qualified to be a blue-collar worker. After all, Rodman gave everyone the impression that the defense was fierce, and the so-called defender won the world. It was Rodman's defense that gave the Bulls the strength to win three consecutive championships.
