Many people must be surprised that the NBA is the cradle of cultivating talents. After all, college students are young and have insufficient knowledge. To put it bluntly, it is a high-end amateur team. How can it be more popular than the professional NBA?
There are several main reasons for this.
First: Pay attention to tradition and inherit it in an orderly manner. NBA teams are hard-hitting soldiers. No matter how long the tradition is, managers and bosses can’t help but give up for five buckets of rice. The New York Knicks can also be counted.
The NBA giants, from the 1960s to the 1990s, had always been strong and tough, and had always been representatives of muscular tough guys. However, in 2008, in order to rebuild, they lost their physical fitness, and their style dropped all the way to the fast three-pointer. The Jazz, a two-man team that took the pick-and-roll to the extreme,
After Sloan left, it became a singles team, and the quantity and quality of pick-and-rolls dropped significantly. It can be said that except for the Lakers' super center tradition, which has continued, other teams can be said to have no traditional tactics.
Well, it all depends on the configuration of the players and who can cook. But in the big teams of the NCAA, this kind of character betrayal is unimaginable: the university system is quite easy to shake a mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Yue Family Army. Since NBA players
Looking back at college basketball, there is actually a vague lineage that can be said. For example, the University of North Carolina loves to produce two types of people. Starting from Jordan, Carter, and Stackhouse, they have comprehensive skills and outstanding singles ability at the 2 and 3 positions;
Mison, Marvin Williams, Rasheed Wallace and other big men who are labeled as power forwards, but have excellent three-pointers and small forward offensive skills. Another example is the University of Connecticut graduates.
Shooting guards such as Ray Allen, Hamilton, and Ben Gordon are all cold-blooded shooters with excellent shooting skills and cunning running without the ball; they produce insiders who are both rebounding masters and support experts, as early as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill...
Walton, and Kevin Love who came as late as 2008. Georgetown University produced all tough men: Ewing, Mutombo, and Mourning, the three centers, plus the No. 1 pick in 1996, the most defiant young man in the world.
Allen Iverson is taller. In fact, this is not the fault of the NBA. After all, there are only a limited number of players who can play in the NBA. In many cases, there is no choice for you, unlike universities where you can recruit people at will. Player transactions seem to be frequent, but in fact every
A team only has 4 or 5 new blood players every season. Besides, other teams may not be willing to let go of players who suit your style of play, so you really can only adapt to circumstances. But everyone has a conservative mentality.
People have a deep respect and awe for traditional inheritance and rely on it spiritually, and the NCAA is exactly in line with people's hearts.
Second: Cruel youth inspirational drama. The NCAA is vast, but only 60 people enter the NBA through the official draft every year. In this way, every year in the NBA draft, no matter how you accompany the last person, as long as they are not unlucky, they will always be the best in college.
And these young people who dream of basketball, except for a few geniuses, whether they can enter the NBA will all be decided by March Madness. The NCAA Top 64 Championship is a one-fight elimination, and you are not allowed to make a single mistake. Once you fail, there will be no more this year.
Opportunities to make a comeback. But they are also full of opportunities. There are scouts gathered on the sidelines of every game. If you can perform well, it will be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. From being unknown to being a household name may just be because of one shot in one game.
Even if a person plays college for four years, he only has four championship opportunities. Every March, the arrow of fate is on the string, but you don’t know where it will eventually go. A young man in his early twenties, in this world
College, early fate is like river sand, being washed away by the river of time. Americans love to watch ba, because of its cruelty and grassroots energy. Chance, excitement, and the instability of young people have the most real tears and regrets.
, ecstasy and passion. Jordan once recalled the process of winning the NCAA championship with North Carolina in 1982: "When we won the championship, I was a freshman, and I was still ignorant of the unknown. I saw my teammates crying with excitement, and I was still thinking, did we
Isn’t playing in the college league just to win the championship? What’s there to cry about? Only later did I realize the meaning of it all.”….
Finally, and the biggest gap between BA and BA: the NCAA considers itself "amateur" and takes this as its foundation. Although the salary of college team coaches is comparable to that of NBA professional coaches, the income of players, except for scholarships, is basically
It’s not worth mentioning. The NCAA has various controls on students: accepting private sponsorships from businesses and engaging in for-profit activities are all restricted. College basketball will not be like the NBA, which changes various rules day and night to satisfy the public’s visual desires.
Although this set of rules and regulations is becoming increasingly difficult to implement in today's college basketball world - a large number of talented new stars finish one or two years of college, get favored by NBA teams, and then become a monk halfway to try their luck in the draft and get million-dollar contracts -
But the NCAA is unmoved. This purity is also the reason why many famous coaches, such as Georgetown's John Thompson and Duke's old coaches, would rather stick to the campus than go to the NBA for fame and profit: compared to the NBA
The business field of college basketball is at least more dedicated to basketball itself. Compared with the NBA, which is highlighted by business, the NCAA is more pure. There is no hype here, only basketball, and touching stories surrounding basketball. Just like the whole world.
The world now despises commercial performances more and more, and is keen on some grassroots stories. Watching them stand up for their dreams is the most plain and passionate, the most low-key and the most touching.
