In terms of draft ranks, the champion show must have the highest success rate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But there are always exceptions, and in the NBA's champion show, there are also those who are eye-catching, and they are not worthy of the name, so they are called "parallel champions".

In 2004, when it came to parallel imports, Olovocandi in 1998 and Kwame Brown in 2001 were bound to be on the list, but there was still a debate about who was more watery.

Olovocandi has been playing for so many years, and he has changed teams, but there is still no improvement, and it seems that he has been sealed and concluded, and it is indeed a parallel import.

Kwame Brown has only played for three seasons, has been staying with the Washington Wizards, and played 10+7 data last season, which seems to have improved, but after all, he is the champion pick of the famous Michael Jordan, this kind of performance is too far from expectations, and it is no problem to say that he is the most watery champion show.

In the position of the top eye, the probability of parallel imports is higher, but it is not as conspicuous as the champion, and the degree of attention is very different.

When it comes to the leaderboard, who do you think of?

In 2016, Lu Xiaofeng's first thought was definitely Durant, he may be the most accomplished eye, in fact, there are Kidd, Payton, Mourning, these NBA all-time stars are also on the list, and Francis, who is familiar to Chinese fans, is also on the list.

But in 2004, the first eye that everyone thought of was mostly Milicic, and when it came to the "parallel goods list", everyone thought of him.

The so-called "not afraid of not knowing the goods, afraid of comparing goods", whether it is parallel goods or not, depends on who you compare with.

If you want to compare with Sun Yue, he played a total of 10 games with the Lakers in the 2008-09 season, averaging 2.8 minutes per game, 0.6 points, 0.2 assists, and 1 foul.

You have to compare with Michael Jordan, his rookie season is 28+6+6, as the star of the same year's Sam Bowway, although his rookie season is also 10 points + 8.6 boards + 2.8 assists + 2.7 blocks, but it is also known as a parallel import.

Before Milicic, perhaps the most popular list was the 2000 list, where the Grizzlies' Swift, who averaged 4.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game in his rookie season, was on par with Kwame Brown's rookie season.

However, that year was originally a recognized draft year, Kenyon Martin, who was the top pick, was only 12+7.4, and the best rookie McMiller was only 11.9+4.

And 2003 is recognized as a big year for the draft, in addition to the "chosen son" James, the top pick, as well as Anthony, Wade, Bosh and Hinrich, all played dazzling statistics in their rookie seasons. Compared with James's 20+5+5, Anthony's 21+6, Wade's 16+4+4, Bosh's 11+7, Hinrich's 12+6.8, Milicic only has 1.4 points + 1.3 rebounds, which is almost negligible.

However, few people have noticed that Milicic has only averaged 4.7 minutes per game and has only played 34 games in total.

Drafted by a championship-contending team like the Pistons, and meeting Larry Brown, a stubborn and stern veteran coach, Milicic's NBA road is destined not to be smooth sailing.

Larry Brown began to be the head coach of the ABA team as early as 1972, the qualifications are very old, Popovich is also his disciple, worthy of the name "respectable", but he is also famous for not liking to use the characteristics of newcomers, just look at the treatment of James, Wade and Anthony at the Athens Olympics.

Milicic's talent is unquestionable, this Serbian basketball genius, with a height of two meters and a sixteen, excellent arm span, outstanding mobility, balanced left and right hands, soft shooting touch, strong explosiveness, and even three-point shooting, in the 2003 rookie, is definitely the most physically gifted inside, it is said that the scouts set the template for him is Garnett and Nowitzki.

That's why the Pistons chose him, because the Pistons are short of people at the power forward position. There's even a saying that even if the Pistons were the No. 1 pick, they would pick him instead of James.

However, scouts only saw Milicic's basketball talent, but not his character flaws. A young man who has just turned 18 years old, he is not reborn like Lu Xiaofeng, his mind is not mature at all, from war-torn Serbia to the United States, where he is not familiar with life, there are even language communication barriers, in a strange environment, who can understand that kind of confusion?

What's more, the identity of the top eye show made Milicic from a poor family who could only play basketball to a millionaire and multimillionaire, and the change in social status and the surge in temptation are not something that an 18-year-old teenager can face calmly.

At that time, he needed a life coach, someone to show him the way forward, but he met Larry Brown, a coach who was known for being strict and strong, and the team had the pressure to compete for the championship, and he was not allowed to make mistakes, and when he made a mistake, he was pressed to the bench. The extremely high expectations brought by the identity of the Bangyanxiu are compared with the reality of constantly making mistakes and not being able to play, it can really be said that "the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper", and then thinking about the treatment of James and Anthony in their respective teams, it is even more difficult to balance in my heart.

For a determined person like Kobe, this kind of setback will only make him work harder, and Milicic is just an ordinary teenager in the end, except for outstanding physical talent, he has not received a good education, and he does not have a strong heart, so he has no other possibility except to fall.

In fact, young international players, who are new to the NBA, will encounter these problems, unfamiliar environments, unfamiliar colleagues, high-intensity training and games, as well as all kinds of praise, criticism and temptation from the outside world, just like a child who has just learned to swim in the pool, suddenly came to the boundless sea, confusion and fear erode the fragile heart all the time.

Milicic is too young, his predecessors are all after the age of 20, have played professional games for several years, accumulated a lot of experience, and basically matured before entering the NBA, and like Yao Ming and Nowitzki, they are much luckier than him, meeting Tom Jalovich and Nelson Sr. coaches who are good at cultivating young people, giving them enough patience and opportunities to make mistakes, and giving them the time and environment to grow up healthily.

This is what the ancient text says, "Maxima often has, and Bole does not often have", the NBA is a business league in the end, not a training institution, the vast majority of coaches pursue the team's record, only those bad team coaches, only the coach of the bad team, have the task of cultivating young people, into a strong team, for young people, blessing and misfortune.

Now that Milicic is on the Lakers and meets Tom Jalovich, what will happen to him?

Will the coach who is the best at developing young people, a team with a tradition of center forwards, and a talented young man, spark?

In Lu Xiaofeng's memory, the Lakers selected Bynum, an equally talented young interior player, next year, and after years of patient training, he once reached a height comparable to Howard.

So, with Milicic, a genius who is not inferior in physical talent and even surpasses Bynum in some aspects, will the Lakers have the same gain?

Lu Xiaofeng is looking forward to it.
