NBA Draft: Lost in 2010

When Jeremy Lin entered the draft in 2010, he didn't make it to the draft camp, so he didn't be able to rely on his excellent speed advantage to add points at that time, which may have been a big reason why he was ultimately undrafted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, he conducted a physical test at another event, the Portsmouth Invitational, one of the three major invitational tournaments for the NBA draft, and was the first to provide draft physical test standards for the NBA. However, it only provides a physical test for people who have played college basketball for 4 years, but the NBA draft is very important for potential and future, talented players generally participate in the draft in their freshman and sophomore years, and players who wait until their senior year to participate in the draft can basically be said to be the least talented category. So the NBA doesn't pay much attention to the Portsmouth physical test.

Jeremy Lin's physical test data was exposed, and after he incarnated as "Lin Crazy" and staged a counterattack in New York, some experts specially turned it out in order to study the secret of his success.

I don't know if I don't flip it, I'm scared when I flip it!

It turns out that BAM collects draft data from rookies every year, and invites 60 players to participate each year to test their speed, bounce, endurance, agility and strength.

Jeremy Lin was also invited by BAM in 2010 to go for a physical test. After Jeremy Lin became famous, the experts did everything possible to find out his previous body measurement data, and then they were surprised to find that -

In terms of average speed, Jeremy Lin's stat is 28.82 km/h, beating 2008 top pick Derek Rose (26.71 km), 2010 top pick John Wall (26.53 km) and 2011 top pick Carey Irving (25.22 km)!

In terms of starting speed, Jeremy Lin's data is 22.42 kilometers per hour, which also overwhelms Wall (21.33 kilometers) and Irving (20.35 kilometers)!

At the fastest speed, Jeremy Lin is 30.34 km/h, which is weaker than Wall (31.07 km/h) but also better than Irving (30.17 km/h).

BAM's stats pat Brett Blungaard, who previously worked as a strength and conditioning coach for the Mavericks, once said: "Lin's stats are impressive, and when it comes to running 25-yard sprints, Lin's BAM stats are comparable to Rose, John Wall and Irving. Speed and acceleration are key factors in demonstrating athletic ability. Standardized tests and speed data provided by BAM can give scouts the information they need to look at a player's athletic ability. In terms of data, in terms of speed alone, Lin is definitely in the top ranks. ”

It's really surprising that Jeremy Lin has an unparalleled speed that is not inferior to the NBA's three top point guards! It turns out that Jeremy Lin's success has long been grounded.

But it's a pity that he had surgery on his knee later, and his explosiveness has decreased a lot. Coupled with tactical weight gain, his speed also slowed down, so after a period of "madness" in New York, whether it was with the Rockets or going to the Lakers, he couldn't play well.

But since joining the Charlotte Hornets this summer, Jeremy Lin seems to have a second spring.

Although Jeremy Lin's assists, steals and other statistics have declined compared to last season when he was with the Lakers, his average points per game have increased. Considering the Hornets' roster depth has increased significantly this season, and Jeremy Lin is not the only scoring point on the Hornets' bench, his scoring statistics show a posture of bucking the trend, indicating that he has played more efficiently on the court.

However, compared to his more efficient performance on the field, what fans are more likely to notice is obviously his versatile hairstyle!

Since joining the Hornets, fans have noticed that Jeremy Lin has begun to put a lot of thought into his hairstyle, and almost every game does not bring the same one, and every day can bring you different surprises.

So fans jokingly said that his average data per game is in addition to regular statistics such as points, assists, rebounds, steals, etc., there is another data, and that is hairspray. After Jeremy Lin won the title of "Lin Crazy", he also got the honorary title of "The Man Who Averaged Two Bottles of Hairspray per Game".

Against the Lakers tonight, Jeremy Lin didn't know if he really smeared two bottles of hairspray on his head, and his shiny hair stood up like steel needles, maybe his defenders would be pierced by these hairs when they prevented him from breaking through!

There are not too many requirements for external things such as easy hairstyles and clothing, although he has always been the same board inch head style, but if he has a good parent, he can have a 1,000% return rate without an outstanding hairstyle.

Therefore, he can't understand why Jeremy Lin has been making a fuss about his hairstyle, and with this kung fu, it is better to practice shooting twice.

After joining the Hornets this season, Jeremy Lin has averaged 27 minutes per game and can be said to play a sixth man role with the Hornets. Therefore, a lot of his playing time overlaps with the playing time of the main players.

Just like this time, Hornets head coach Steve Clifford kept him on the court to partner Kemba Walker in the backcourt. However, Jeremy Lin was also moved to the No. 2 position because of this.

But in the No. 2 position, Jeremy Lin is compared to Yi Feng, and his height is enough to be on par with Yi Feng with his hair as high as a steel needle fixed by hairspray, and his arm span, explosiveness, and speed are much worse.

In the past, his speed might have been as fast as Yi Feng's, but after knee surgery, he no longer had a sharp speed.

Comparing two players, although it is not comprehensive enough to just look at physical fitness, all basketball skills are based on physical conditions. If you have an advantage in physical condition, you will naturally be able to gain the upper hand in the comparison. And Yi Feng is not only a rough brother with a body, his skills are also delicate.

As a result, Steven Clifford quickly realized his mistake, and Jeremy Lin struggled to take advantage of Yi Feng on both offensive and defensive ends. Forget it on the offensive end, with Walker here, Jeremy Lin can make a fixed-point battery; But on the defensive end, Jeremy Lin has to face the Lakers' most ferocious offensive firepower, and he can't do anything at all.

So it didn't take long for Clifford to replace Jeremy Lin, so the alignment of the yellow race in the NBA that Chinese fans were looking forward to and excited about ended hastily.

However, Yi Feng completely played the feeling, the offensive hand exploded, and Clifford replaced Jeremy Lamb without Yi Feng at all, and finally had to implement the package on this first-year rookie.

Yi Feng is not greedy for credit, and when he encounters a bag clip, he quickly shoots the ball, and the Lakers transferred the ball well tonight, and got a chance after a few passes.

But the Lakers played well offensively, but they didn't do well on the defensive end. Walker frequently broke through Clarkson, either scoring himself or using passes to revitalize the team's offense, and when the Lakers focused their defensive attention on Walker, Nicholas Batum popped up again, either shooting or passing, always making the Lakers take care of one or the other.

The two teams played extremely anxiously until the end of the fourth quarter, and the difference was still within five points.

The turning point of the game came with 1:52 left in the fourth quarter when the Lakers were attacking, but they still trailed by four points at 93:97.

The Lakers broke through consecutive points and finally Kobe Bryant shot at the three-point line. Batum desperately swooped out to interfere, only to slap on Bryant's non-shooting hand.

But Kobe's shooting felt frighteningly good, the left hand of the ball protector was hit, but the ball in his hand did not fall, he still threw the ball before it landed, and he was still able to hit the center of the basket!

The referee gave Kobe Bryant an additional penalty, and Batum was convinced. After Bryant hit a four-pointer, the Lakers equalized the score.

The score is the same, the suspense of the game is very large, there is more than a minute left, and the outcome is unpredictable. But the Hornets made a fatal mistake at this time!

Head coach Clifford deliberately asked for a timeout to arrange tactics after the two teams were evenly divided, but I don't know if he didn't explain it or the player's execution was too poor, and he actually made a mistake in passing the ball directly after returning from the pause!

This mistake was an opportunity for the Lakers to overtake the score, and the Lakers did grasp it. So the Lakers went from being passive to being active, and kept the initiative until the end of the game.

At the end of the final whistle, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Hornets 108-105 with three points.

Although Walker scored a game-high 38 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, his performance was very eye-catching, but a passing error at a critical moment became a turning point for the opponent to win and turn the situation around.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored 25 points, Yi Feng scored 28 points, and combined to score 53 points, preventing the team's losing streak.

After the post-game press conference, Bryant had a brief meeting with Jordan, and Yi Feng was also involved.

At first, Yi Feng was taken away by Kobe Bryant with a mysterious face, and he was a little inexplicable, but he didn't expect to come to see Jordan.

It was only at the second meeting that Yi Feng noticed that this man, known as God, no longer had the heroic posture on the court back then, nor the sturdy figure he had at that time, and now wrapped under that expensive coat was a body that had become more and more fat and bloated.

Although there is still news from time to time that Jordan can abuse Hornets players on the training court even if he takes off his suit and leather shoes, it is inevitable that Jordan's competitive form will decline after staying away from the professional arena.

However, an old man in his fifties, dragging a bloated body, can still abuse young professional players, people are shocked and Jordan is strong in addition to talking about those player dishes of the Hornets. This is still so strong at his age, how strong was he when he was active in the arena?

The relationship between Kobe Bryant and Jordan is extremely complicated, and it is impossible to explain it in three words.

At first, people saw Kobe as the so-called "Jordan's successor", seeing him young and vigorous in the 1998 All-Star game, blasting away Malone and posing one-on-one with Jordan. When Jordan retired and came back, and came back and retired, the Lakers dynasty was in full swing, Kobe Bryant's triple crown was in high spirits, and "surpassing Jordan" began to become a national discussion full of imagination.

When Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a single game and averaged 35.4 points per game in the season, the top hat of "the best scorer in history" floated in, as if he forgot Jordan's ten scoring titles and the fact that he averaged the first point per game in NBA history. With Kobe Bryant's solo flight, and his struggles with the team's record, the debate began to subside. But when Pau Gasol came to Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant added two more crowns to achieve the "five-time crown", and now he is still working hard for his dream of six crowns, and the discussion of "who is greater" continues.

In addition, people are also talking about the similarities between Kobe Bryant and Jordan. From the same movements, ball style, fighting spirit, and personality, to the exact same revenge, and killer intuition that sees blood and seals his throat, the similarities between the two are simply endless. It seems that Kobe's career is a parody show of Jordan, and he has acted until now.

Even Jordan himself always jumps out from time to time to make statements, just the right amount to replenish ammunition for the fans' war of words. The most famous is the sentence "Kobe Bryant stole all my footwork", and Kobe Bryant also "confessed" to this, just added this sentence as if he was looking for a step for himself: "James, Durant, Harden, Paul are also learning from me." What he means is that basketball has evolved only through inheritance, and every descendant must step on the shoulders of those who came before him.

Under the fog cover of various foaming clouds, the real relationship between the two seems confusing and suspicious. In the eyes of the outside world, the two are not relatives, but they are also teachers and friends, talking and laughing on various important occasions, but they rarely intersect outside the court. Sometimes, the two will deliberately maintain a subtle distance.

But Yi Feng saw that the two people who were talking and laughing at this time were completely like personal friends, and it seemed that they had been in contact many times in private, and the relationship was extremely close.

When you meet someone who is very similar to you, you will have a subconscious sense of rejection at first glance. Because you're going to feel disgusting, that guy keeps imitating you, it's like a self with a different face. But when you really get acquainted, you find that you know each other deeply, and the other party knows more about yourself than you know about yourself.

With in-depth understanding, there can be sincere understanding, and such people are close friends.

Why are there so many "Jordan successors", only Kobe Bryant is the most like Jordan? Why is Kobe Bryant the only one who is closest to Jordan in terms of achievement?

Yi Feng finally understood now.

Just like he, the "successor of Kobe", has Kobe's teaching, maybe Kobe has also received a lot of guidance from Jordan.

However, in this way, Yi Feng is the second-generation "Jordan's successor", is he considered Jordan's apprentice? (To be continued.) )
