Hashim Thabeet's data is 7 feet 3 inches tall, which is about 221, with a wingspan of 7 feet 6 inches. Forget about this kind of hardware, the most important thing is... he is not generally 220CM+.
The type that lacks athletic talent. This guy once had a vertical jump of 89CM in the rookie physical test! Don’t think that everyone is Chamberlain and Tang Qian. Basically, there are very few players with outstanding athletic talent after reaching 210CM.
Occasionally, one comes out, such as "Big McGee", then even if he has severe asthma, even if his "IQ is a little underpaid", he can still do well in the NBA, and he will be "Mr. Ten Million" in his peak 4 years. And you have to know
, McGee is only 213CM, which is a full 8CM different from 221CM! Among ordinary people, 8CM is a difference of 172. You can imagine how big the gap is.
But Hasim Thabeet, known as the "big dream" in college, once had terrifying data of 4+ blocks per game, and his offense and rebounds were also at the level of "double-double". This is in a game with few rounds and long possession of the ball.
The college league is already very exaggerated. In addition, he has a shooting percentage of more than 60%. He was also a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick that year, but he unfortunately lost to the "White Monster" Blake Griffin. In 2009, it was not particularly big.
It was a big year for the draft, but it also produced Harden, Griffin, Curry, DeRozan, Rubio, Evans, Jennings and many other star players who will be the league's "big leaders" in the future.
During this period, Hasim Thabeet could be ranked second. Of course, he has his own reasons.
McGee's physical bounce is 90CM! Now you know how exaggerated the 89CM bounce is for a 221CM big guy!
It’s almost to the level of Ralph Sampson back then!
However, he also has a common problem with Ralph Sampson, that is, he does not have enough frame to carry too many muscles, and his lower body strength and waist strength are not good, and his explosive power is not good. Especially his explosive power, although he can jump so high,
But the bullet speed is not enough, and in the fiercely competitive NBA league, it cannot give full play to its advantage.
Look at Jordan, his bullet speed is the key.
Moreover, the skeleton and bottom plate are not good, which makes the top player a big problem. The NBA is not the NCAA. His problem that was not a problem before has suddenly become a fatal injury. But Tang Qian also sympathizes with him. You say he
It’s watered down, it’s a huge parallel import, but we have to look at the actual situation. What is the actual situation? This guy is similar to the “super genius” Milicic of the year. He joined the Memphis Grizzlies with a relatively strong lineup and a relatively stable lineup from the beginning.
, the Grizzlies have already had Randolph and Marc Gasol in the paint, so where is the time to upgrade him? There are not many people who can do it despite not having much playing time in the past few years.
There are only a few of them. There are countless ones that have been abolished. Since ancient times, this has been almost an "iron rule".
Let’s look at this guy’s first three years, his rookie season, which is also known as the “prime time for leveling”.
In the first year, he played 13+ minutes in 68 games, in 47 games in the second year, he played less than 8 minutes, and in 20 games in the third year, he averaged 7+ playing time per game. And within 3 years, he changed 3 teams.
.This kind of number of appearances and average time per game would probably be difficult for a super inside talent to achieve.
Just adapting to the pace and intensity of the NBA is difficult.
It is also particularly easy to damage the self-confidence and enthusiasm of a young genius.
In fact, in the first year with 13+ playing time, he was able to get good data of 3.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. But the biggest problem is poor foul control. But, again, if you don’t give him enough practice
At the same time, how can he learn? How can he improve? How can he improve?
In the first year alone, counting the 36-minute data, it is about 8+10 data, averaging more than 3.5 blocks per game!!! Is this bad for a pure rookie? Of course, this data is ideal data, but a shot-blocking master
He can definitely deserve this title! His rebounding is pretty good and his shooting percentage is close to 60%! And if you give him time to practice, he might even be able to make a qualitative change. But unfortunately, everything is not everything, this season
This is his last season, and he will completely fade out of the NBA after finishing it.
It's not unreasonable for Tang Qian to sympathize with him. Damn "leveling time", how many geniuses have been ruined.
So why did Barkley repeatedly emphasize that if he was still a rookie, he would definitely want to join a weak team, and a weak team without a strong man in his main position? The reason is here. Putting aside some other reasons, the most important factor is
"Leveling time". Without enough leveling time, the possibility of you being destroyed is as high as 90%. Don't say that you can definitely fight, it's all nonsense! Basically, except for the paranoid, any super giant will go to the bench.
He averages about 46 minutes per game every season, and then only has 2 to 3 minutes of playing time. The chance of being able to reach the peak level of his original position in 3 years is even lower than winning the lottery!
Not to mention the "rookie three years" period.
So many living examples prove that the polishing of skills, the speed of growth, and the change of mentality are fatal enough. This is the elimination rate and cruelty of the NBA, the highest palace of basketball.
Tang Qian himself is playing in the league now, and he has a deep understanding. If there is no "different space", he will basically have no chance to succeed in the first season, and it is difficult to say in the second season. Even now, there are not enough balls for him.
He squandered his practice, he wanted to go further in offense, and he wanted to improve his ability to lead the team, which are all nonsense. And if you can't even guarantee the minimum playing time, what's the point of having the ball?
?Just the stimulation and continuation of the state are a big problem, right?
As for improvement? That’s a delusion! I’m grateful for all my efforts to keep from going backwards.
Thabeet has no energy now. When he comes on the court, it feels like he is just dealing with something. Even his super rim protection ability, which was most talked about back then, has now been reduced to almost nothing. He averages 0.4 blocks per game.
This is his current state of blocking shots, and he has completely lost the intimidating and domineering power he had in college. Now, he may feel that he is a "big parallel import", and he will be positioned as a "bamboo pole" mascot for any team he comes to.
.
He raised his head and happened to meet the recently popular Lakers No. 29. In his eyes, he did not see the usual sarcasm and ridicule, nor the usual contempt and teasing. Instead, he saw a hint of sympathy.
Yes, it is sympathy and regret.
He had seen this kind of look in many scouts and coaches at first, but in recent years, it had disappeared completely.
I don’t know why, but for ordinary players, this might be a bit annoying look, but for him...
He even felt somewhat respected.
If I could have done it back then... Well, forget it, this is my life, don't have any delusions.
When he was replaced, he was still ravaged, even worse than the ravage suffered by Steven Adams just now. Thabeet currently averages 8 minutes per game and can only get 1+ rebounds. It can be seen that he has completely lost it now.
The belief and desire to play ball.
I just want to finish the contract honestly, then quit the league and find another way.
"Fan got the rebound. He is invincible in the Thunder's interior! No one can stop him from grabbing rebounds!!!" With the words of Bill McDonald, the gold medal commentator at the Lakers' home court, the Lakers were in the lead and won the game.
Section one.
30-23, a 7-point advantage, which is not unpleasant considering the pace of positional warfare.
Of course, if you watch the game, you will know that this is not fast at all, but the Lakers' shooting percentage is too high.
The Lakers' scoring in the past month has almost exceeded 100+, and even almost reached 105+. And judging from their offensive rhythm and offensive rounds, this is simply a miraculous scoring average! The entire team has 100 points per game.
It is very difficult to increase the average score by every point. If it exceeds 105+, in the 13-14 season, it is considered a team with strong scoring ability, and the others who can reach this number are all small balls.
and run-and-gun style. The Los Angeles Lakers are the only exception.
It is also the only team in the entire NBA since the 1990s that can use positional warfare offensive methods to average more than 105 points per game every month.
& some professional sports media have begun to study this data, make image analysis tables, and then attempt to write some articles and comments from a professional perspective. But the real factors are two. One is that Kobe is stronger than ever;
It's Tang Qian who is now a monster-level center that has surpassed O'Neal at his peak.
In short, the power of the "K.Q combination" greatly exceeds that of the "O.K combination". Just talking about this month, they may be the strongest internal and external duo in NBA history, and there is no one.
This is why the Lakers can score more than 105+ points in positional battles and why they can still win consecutive games.
Tang Qian was now easily able to suppress Hasim Thabeet, who was a head taller than him. Regardless of offense or defense, he was victorious.
But the latter didn't have too many emotional fluctuations, as if he took it all for granted.
In the past few years in the NBA, his self-confidence and competitive spirit have been completely wiped out. Whether he loses or wins, it actually doesn't mean much to him. He is just here to "goof around" and "make soy sauce."
That's all.
Throughout the second half of the first quarter, Thabeet's total data on the field was 1 block, and it was Wesley of the Lakers. Johnson was a little hot-headed, and basically sent a stat on his own initiative. Other than that, there was no accounting.
No grains were harvested.
After being yelled at by the angry-looking Thunder coach Scott Brooks, Hasim Thabeet became even more depressed and covered his head with a towel while sitting in his seat.
This giant battle has come to an end before it even begins.
And unlike before the beginning of the 21st century, today's audiences and fans are no longer keen on this kind of "giants' hegemony". They are more willing to watch outside players fly into the sky and escape from the ground, making gorgeous breakthroughs and attacks. This is the development of modern basketball, and it is also the goal of the giants.
sorrow.
In the second quarter, the Thunder had enough strength to overthrow the Lakers in one breath. Westbrook + Caron Butler + Reggie Jackson + Ibaka + Jeremy Lamb formed the "
A typical "one-year-old and four-small" lineup. Moreover, the scoring ability and lineup impact were extremely terrifying, which immediately caused the main insider Pau Gasol to fall into a "foul quagmire".
Another three defensive fouls in a single quarter, plus one in the first quarter, and four before halftime, so he had to end the game early.
Gasol has obviously not fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game. He has been recovering from the injury for too long, and his movements, reactions and judgment are not as good as before the injury. Therefore, he is always fouled by his opponents, which is miserable.
Mike D'Antoni scolded him with some displeasure. The former didn't really like Gasol, who had a weak personality and liked to complain. Moreover, the latter's athletic ability and mobility were also something he didn't like. Instead of "seven seconds or more"
"Less" tactical system is completely mismatched. Therefore, Gasol had a lot of conflicts with D'Antoni in the original time and space. He was once forced to sit on the bench by the former for a period of time.
Now that he has come back, he is not playing well and his data has been greatly reduced. He has no confidence to refute, so he can only hang his head and listen to Mike D'Antoni's scolding.
Tang Qian saw the Spaniard's problem, and Gasol couldn't treat him like this. During the downturn, it was best for him to encourage the main player and be strict as a supplementary, otherwise it would easily have the opposite effect.
"Paul, are you okay? You just came back like this. You will be fine after a while. Believe in yourself." Tang Qian said next to Gasol, but the effect was minimal. The latter just nodded and then said nothing.
.
This, this is not going to be easy! Without Gasol in the future, who will be the inside scoring point?
Tonight is the deadline for the Silver Score Card, and I won’t be able to score as well as I did during this period in the future!
Just when Tang Qian was a little worried, the Thunder were about to hit a whirlwind. Even if Kobe tried his best to suppress Westbrook, he couldn't stop the other four people on the other side. Including Ibaka, he bid farewell to his pure blue-collar status this season.
Averaging 15+ points per game, this can already be used as a relatively stable scoring point.
It was the second quarter again. The Lakers were scored by their opponents for 44 points, but they only scored 18 points.
Kobe showed signs of decline. All his shots in the second quarter were missed.
This has never happened before.
Westbrook himself was also in good condition, scoring 2 goals in a row under Kobe's defense. Tang Qian noticed that the former should have entered "The.Zone". Kobe one against five? And it was the Thunder.
?The outcome can be imagined.
The Lakers only scored 48 points in the half, which was because they scored 30 points in the first quarter. What about the Thunder? They scored a total of 67 points in the half, but they only scored 23 points in the first quarter. All of a sudden
He lost by nearly 20 points! Why wasn't Kobe angry? So as soon as he returned to the Staples locker room, the Black Mamba got furious and said: "If anyone doesn't want to play later, then get out! The Los Angeles Lakers don't welcome it.
Softie!!!”
When these words came out, they were not originally directed at Gasol, but because Kobe was standing closest to Gasol, the Spaniard's face suddenly turned blue and white.
There is an element of instability in the Lakers team that is beginning to take root.
