The giant here does not refer to a person as tall as Yao Ming, but refers to a person whose height is above 190cm. For people under 170cm, basketball can only stay in the open field forever. If you want to set foot on the professional arena, it is really a dream, an unreachable dream!
Curry, who changed the NBA style with a short counterattack, has always been troubled by height. In high school, Curry led the team to win the state championship, and personally won the regional MVP and the state MVP, with a three-point shooting rate as high as 48%. However, Curry was ignored.
Old Curry took Curry through many back doors, but he was always turned away. At that time, coach K commented on Curry: "This kid is too thin to adapt to NCAA."
Finally, Curry can only enter davidson college, with only 1700 people, all because Curry is only 183cm tall.
Today, there is still such a player, "Julian", who once scored 9 1 point in three quarters at the age of 12, causing a sensation in the United States. The number of hard-working videos has exceeded 6.5438+million, which is called "basketball genius" by everyone.
Now Julian is 17 years old and has joined the University of Texas in San Antonio. However, because he is only 170cm tall, he has changed from Curry+Owen to Fang Zhongyong in American basketball.
Is height really that important to basketball?
Julian's father is a basketball coach. Therefore, at the age of 3, Julian trained with his father. On the basketball court, Julian has better basketball skills and talents than his peers. Even in the face of players older and taller than himself, Julian can complete a breakthrough layup by changing the rhythm.
Julian became a genius in the eyes of American fans at the age of 12. At that time, Julian scored 9 1 point in three quarters against middle school students and became a genius in the eyes of American fans. At the same time, his training videos have more than100000 views on YouTube.
Today, Julian is 17 years old, but his height is only 170, just like a primary school student on the court. The lack of height made Julian suffer a lot in both defense and attack. He had to adjust the curvature of his hand and shoot backward to avoid the defender's block.
So this allowed Julian to practice very good ball control skills, with many tricks, just like Owen. In addition, his retreat three-pointers also became his signature action, averaging four three-pointers per game.
However, due to his height, his name did not appear in the national rankings. It seems that all the fans and teams are still not optimistic about this short player.
In the NBA, many guards are not tall, but they have a place in the NBA by virtue of their personal organizational ability and offensive dexterity. For example, Paul and Iverson of 183cm have achieved very good results in the NBA with their own speed and organized attacks.
However, it is very difficult for players under 180cm and 170cm to achieve anything in the NBA. The famous players under 180cm are "the shortest player in history-160cm Tyrone Bogues", "168cm dunk king-potato accuser Webber and nate robinson Jr." and "NBA inspirational player-Thomas Jr.".
1, the shortest player-Boggs
Boggs was selected by a bullet in the first round with a 12 pick in 1987, and then joined the Hornets. In the Hornets, Boggs became the main force of the Hornets' backcourt with his excellent organizational skills, and he averaged 7. 1 assists in the second year. At the peak, he averaged 10.8 points 10. 1 4.3 rebounds per season.
2. The Dunk Kings found Webber and nate robinson.
Weber and Robinson are well known, mainly because of the explosive dunk. Webber and Robinson both reached about 1. 1m, while the flying Carter's take-off height was 9 1.44cm.
At the peak, Webb averaged 16.0 points, 7 assists and 2.9 rebounds, which became the absolute core of the Kings' backcourt. In the 2008-09 season, Robinson not only won the dunk championship, but also averaged 17.2 points and 4. 1 assists and 2.9 rebounds in a single season.
An inspirational story about Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning: "Do you know what Los Angeles is like at four o'clock every morning?" . Now it seems to be becoming a joke for young people.
However, no one saw Kobe's efforts and sweat off the court. Anyone's success is because he insists on what you can't do.
On the basketball court, these short players are inferior. If you want to succeed, you must make more efforts.
Julian has been training since he was three years old. Up to now, although height has become his limitation, it has not changed his original dream, and he is still working hard.
