Is there any obstacle in Derknowitski's career that he will never be able to overcome?

Overall, no.

Whether it was the early stage of his career, he was questioned because of his outside-biased style of play - the NBA at that time, or the era of interior beasts like Shaq, Ewing, and Kemp, Dirk's surreal style of play, although it was fun to watch, was not recognized by the mainstream - or the mid-term troika was dismantled, watching the brothers go away, or in the later stage, when his strength reached its peak, he won the MVP but was reversed by the Finals, the Black Eight reversed, or the aging of the team lineup in the late stage, Year after year, the old ox cart was pulled forward amid laughter.

Nowitzki has never been able to overcome the hurdles.

This big man who doesn't talk a lot on weekdays, although he is the absolute core and spiritual leader of the Mavericks, he is not good at words and never relies on any beautiful words to lead the team. All he did was to practice frantically day after day, leading by example and using his own practical actions to tell his teammates what it means to be a "professional player".

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Dirk's efforts made him suffer setbacks, but the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became. It wasn't until 2011 that on the plane where you and I were, we finally added the yellow robe and became famous all over the world.

Over the years, Dirk has changed dramatically from a Europa boy with long hair to a funny Silver Horn King.

With so many opponents, so many rivals, so many seemingly insurmountable mountains, Dirk, all relied on his own hands and feet, and climbed through them.

Countless souls wailed under his knife, how many defenders failed in front of him, and no one could defend against the full moon scimitar that he turned and leaned back, and could only watch the basketball in despair, falling into the basket again and again, splashing a graceful splash.

There is only one man who, in his career, has brought him an experience close to despair.

"You can't say that Jermaine is a Dirk finisher, and I believe that there is no basketball player in this world who dares to say that he is a finisher of a superstar of Dirk's level. But ......"

Miller looked at the court, watched Nowitzki holding the ball, and faced O'Neal Jr.'s defense, he was helpless for a while, a little timid, and sighed: "But all along, the person who has the best effect on defending Dirk is undoubtedly Jermaine!" ”

on the field.

"Bang bang...... Call! ”

Turning around and leaning back, Dirk tried to take steps many times to no avail, and the little O'Neill in front of him was still as steady as a rock and motionless, without revealing the slightest flaw. In desperation, the German tank could only lean back and jump to give it a fight.

It's a pity, little O'Neill, that even that counts.

"Rub ......!"

Jumping as hard as he could, Xiao Ao had almost lost his bounce power due to injury and age. But his hard talent didn't go far from him, his arm span and shoulder width, his good defensive sense, invincible footwork, and knowledge of all the opponents' shooting habits allowed him to extend his right hand at the perfect time, just in the path of Dirk's shot.

No way......!

Dirk also secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, the most familiar step-back jumper on weekdays, the arc was ridiculously high. But Xiao Ao's blockade made Dirk have to raise the arc again.

If it is placed in practice, this kind of subtle adjustment, of course, cannot affect the feel of the German king, and the probability of the basketball entering the frame is still very large.

But in the game, Dirk had to do all of this, but it wasn't that easy.

“…… While! ”

“DAMN！”

The arc of the basketball was still a little shorter after all, and it flew high on the front frame, and Dirk's right wrist trembled a little as if he didn't obey the call, and he couldn't control the most perfect height no way.

As for rebounding......

"Smack!"

Gu Yu took it off!

"The card is good!" Taking advantage of O'Neal's precise positioning, Gu Yu took off the rebound and raised his eyes to the frontcourt.

Just a moment.

"Rub!"

Montaellis jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, like a frightened bird.

"...... am I wiping?" Gu Yu was also taken aback by Ellis's reaction, raised his eyes and glanced at Ellis, who was flying horizontally in the air, and complained, "Dude, is it so exaggerated??? ”

There was trash talk on his mouth, but Gu Yu didn't stop moving. One turned on the spot and dribbled quickly, the basketball seemed to grow in the palm of his hand, flying up and down with his movements, but in the blink of an eye, he had already passed Ellis in the air.

"Give me give me give me give me !!"

Near the middle circle, Wei Shao had already run away, thinking about how to be more powerful than Gu Yu, Wei Shao didn't let go of the slightest opportunity to attack quickly, he just wanted to score quickly.

And this point is also seen by a veteran.

"Rub ......!"

Marion!

Want to pass the ball??

With an lunge sprint, Marion had already seen Wei Shao's movements, aiming at the passing route between Gu Yu and Wei Shao, and before Gu Yu could make a passing move, he had already rushed up to block it.

It's not that simple!

With a gibbon-like reach, Marion's defensive control is comparable to that of a seven-foot inside. If Gu Yu really passed the ball, he would really be intercepted directly by MATRIX.

It's a pity that Gu Yu didn't fall for it.

It's not because Gu Yu judged in advance that Marion would do this.

It's because ......

", the ghost has just passed on to you, I'm going to attack it myself!"

It's because he doesn't want to pass the ball to Wei Shao at all......

"Bang bang!!"

There was a thunderstorm, accompanied by Wei Shao's "traitor!! With the scolding, Gu Yu turned into lightning, accelerating all the way and no one could chase him, and a few concise and sharp changes of direction shook through the crumbling defense line of the old cowboys and went straight to the front.

"Give me, you traitor!!" Wei Shao hadn't given up yet, he had already run to the basket, just waiting for Gu Yu to send an empty pass, and he would score a violent dunk to show off.

Gu Yu made an emergency stop outside the three-point line.

“…… Call! ”

Chase down the three-point shot!

"If this goal goes in......!!"

Accompanied by Miller's exclamation, Gu Yu's three-point shot walked through a perfect arc, and Dirk, the shooting machine he watched, looked at the ball and sighed, and had to admit that Gu Yu's shooting posture was really sculptural and flawless.

“…… Swish! ”

Hit!!

"It's a 10-point gap!!"

Kings bench, boiling!

"Whew...... Call...... Call...... Whew......"

Just after calling a timeout, the Mavericks returned to the court, but there was still no way to turn the tide. Dirk, the core of the team, braced his knees with his hands, and finally felt the weight of time.

If...... If......

If I could be five years younger, I would definitely be able to ......

"Are you still coming, Dirk?"

Behind Dirk, the man's voice rang out.

The sweat from the forehead of the German tank was completely solidified.

Jermaine O'Neal.

If there is a book in this world dedicated to all the details of back-to-back defense.

Then Xiao Ao will definitely be the prototype of this book.

At the peak of his career, which players did Dirk face when he didn't have the upper hand?

Garnett?

The shocking data of Dirk in the playoffs that year should be clear to everyone.

Tim Duncan?

The duel between the two old rivals, whether it is the final victory or defeat, or the comparison of data, should be said to be five or five.

Chris Webb?

Dirk's overlap with his peak was too short to be discussed as regular data.

If you let Dirk choose for himself, the answer is probably the person in front of him.

Jermaine O'Neal.

"How many people have noticed that little O'Neal is at the peak of overlapping with Dirk, and the data is really five-five, and it is extremely rare to be a man who can guard Dirk below his average level......!"

On the field, the game continued, and on the side of the commentary stage, Reggie Miller had a smile on his lips, apparently recalling those glory days in Indiana.

"Before 2000, Jermaine was in the Trail Blazers, and Dirk was not the absolute core of the team, and after 2007, Dirk was still at his peak, but Jermaine has declined significantly. In the seven or eight years in between, both sides were at their peak, and it was fair to make a comparison. ”

Miller said: "In that time, the two sides have played each other a total of 12 times, with Dirk averaging 37.8 minutes per game and Jermaine averaging 34.6 minutes per game, which is the premise. ”

Then looking at the data, Jermaine averaged 20 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, including 2.5 frontcourt rebounds, and his performance was very eye-catching. Dirk's average stats per game were also beautiful, but his performance of 24.3 points and 7.9 rebounds was lower than his average stats at the time. What's more, Dirk's shooting percentage dropped to 43.5% against Jermaine, which is definitely not what Dirk should be. Even if it is placed on an outside player with a relatively low shooting rate, this shooting percentage is not qualified. ”

"That's right." Albert nodded: "Even if Dirk is good at three-point shooting, in our imagination, Jermaine is an interior defense-oriented, not very good defender, Dirk should get a lot of three-point opportunities." But against Jermaine, Dirk's three-point shooting rate also dropped to 28.3%, which is definitely an unusual performance. ”

"You know, the data we just talked about also includes Jermaine's poor performance of 2 points and 4 rebounds when he first arrived in Indiana and didn't get used to the starting treatment. If that game had been removed, Jermaine's performance would have been even more eye-catching. ”

Miller smiled and nodded: "Jermaine once defended Dirk on 1 of 10 shots in a single game, and he also got 28 points and 18 rebounds on Dirk's head, and in many games, the score was higher than Dirk." And what about Dirk? Against Jermaine, only 4 rebounds double-doubled in 12 games, and every game was stolen by Jermaine's frontcourt rebounds. I know it's unfair, the characteristics of the two sides are completely different, but Jermaine is a good player, and everyone has to admit that. ”

While talking, on the court, Nowitzki held the ball again, and finally used a beautiful feint to click on Xiao Ao, and then a probe was wiped into the inside line, and he opened his hand to lick the basket and shoot.

"Rub ......!"

Behind him, little O'Neill, flew up.

"Smack!"

Pegboard hat!
