The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Is Paul George really that unbearable?

Of course not.

Although he is a first-year rookie, George's performance in daily training is very good.

He has a strong understanding ability and can quickly adapt to the Wizards' tactical system.

In terms of offensive ability, George obviously still has shortcomings. Whether it is shooting or attacking the basket with the ball, he is not particularly stable, but Wang Xiao knows very well that with a little training, George can develop good offensive ability.

In another time and space, George was selected by the Pacers with the 10th overall pick. Due to the presence of All-Star Danny Granger in the team, he played as a substitute for one season in the first year, and the statistics were not very good.

But only in the second season, George became a starter, averaging 12 points and 5.6 rebounds in 29 minutes per game.

In the third season, Pacers' core Granger was reimbursed for the season, and George quickly grew up to take over Granger's position, averaging 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

In the next few seasons, except for the 2015 season when he was reimbursed due to injury, George was able to average such efficient data as 20+7+4 per game without exception. 28 points.

George is characterized by being very versatile. His ball-holding shooting is not particularly stable, but his catch-and-shoot is very reliable, and his shooting after passing the screen of his teammates in the paint is particularly accurate, which can almost be regarded as a great trick.

Of course, in terms of offensive ability, both Curry and Harden must beat George, even George at his peak.

But what really matters for George is his versatility.

He's a master of top perimeter defense.

It is not free to defend the first team twice and the second team twice.

In 19 years, George's defense could be ranked among the top three in the league, and Kawhi Leonard and Drummond Green could rank ahead of him.

If there is anyone who is better defensively than George, it may be Antetokounmpo.

The topic is a bit far away...

Closer to home, in Wang Xiao's mind, George's position in the Wizards is somewhat similar to that of Draymond Green. When Jamison gets old and cannot keep up with the pace of the Wizards, Wang Xiao will let George replace Jamison. Location.

In the future Warriors team, Green's role is very important. He is the guarantee of the Warriors' defensive quality. Many people say that Green is a system player. This is undeniable, but at the same time, not any player can replace Green in the Warriors. role of the team.

Whether George can do it, Wang Xiao actually has no idea, but he still chooses to try.

In these few games, it was actually an attempt.

As a result, George seemed uncomfortable.

This is a matter of course. Whether in high school or college, George has never played basketball like this. Although he has a certain ability to handle the ball and understands and learns tactics very quickly, it is still impossible to complete the role change in an instant.

Many times, George followed Wang Xiao's instructions, like the Warriors' Drummond Green, when he held the ball in the top arc to support him, he would appear a little at a loss, unable to find his teammates in the running position at the first time, and finally could only watch. He watched the game time go by a little bit, and then he had no choice but to shoot from the spot.

This is why George's shooting percentage was not high in these few games.

In this situation, Wang Xiao is not in a hurry, because George is still adapting and learning, and it can be seen from Paul's average of 4 assists per game in the future that George is not ignorant in supporting, even if he is not as good as Drummond. Green, but more or less can play some threats.

Wang Xiao is not going to let Curry play offense without the ball like Cole in another time and space, so George will not have too many silhouettes holding the ball in the top arc in the future. The reason why he exercises like this is just to Let the team's tactics be more varied.

Speaking of the performance of this year's rookies, I have to mention Wang Xiao's two disciples.

Jeremy Lin, Dunn.

As the rookie No. 1 pick, Jeremy Lin was given high hopes by the New Jersey Nets, and Jeremy Lin did not disappoint the Nets at all.

In his debut in the regular season, Jeremy Lin scored a game-high 26 points and helped the team win with 11 assists.

After five games, Jeremy Lin averaged 19.5 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game.

His all-round and balanced performance on both offensive and defensive ends has made many teams jealous.

It's interesting to say that Kidd's peak period was spent in the Nets, and the Nets also reached the finals under Kidd's leadership.

And when Kidd left the Nets after his peak period, the team actually selected Jeremy Lin who used Kidd's growth template card.

Jeremy Lin used the Kidd growth template card, and Jeremy Lin has not slacked off in the past three years, and has maintained hard training, which has also made the talent of Kidd's growth template card continue to be realized.

Now Jeremy Lin has not lost to Kidd at his peak, and it is different.

Kidd once had the nickname "Kidd doesn't attack". Although this nickname does not mean that Kidd can't attack, Kidd's scoring ability is indeed a bit behind that of many point guards in the same position.

But Jeremy Lin is different.

The future "Linsanity" who set off a storm in the NBA was originally a guard known for his speed and attacking the basket.

Kidd's growth template card has raised Jeremy Lin's potential to the same level as Kidd, but this does not mean that Jeremy Lin's original characteristics have been overwritten and erased.

Compared with Kidd, Jeremy Lin's offensive ability is much stronger now. Whether it is shooting from the outside or breaking through to the basket, Jeremy Lin cannot be easily ignored.

Due to Jeremy Lin's outstanding performance, the Nets won 3 games in 5 games, with a winning percentage of more than 50%, and the record ranked in the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, a record of 3 wins and 2 losses is not enough to rank in the top of the Eastern Conference.

Compared with Jeremy Lin, Dunn, who was selected by the Thunder, also performed very well.

Averaged 9.5 points, 14 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game. This is Dunn's answer after five games.

As a defensive center, such data is quite good.

The existence of Dunn also instantly raised the Thunder's nearly fragmented defense to a new level.

In just five games, Dunn successfully replaced Oden and became the new darling of Oklahoma City.

Jeremy Lin and Dunn are considered to be the best performers among the 10 rookies.

In contrast, whether it is the former No. 1 pick John Wall's average of 16 points and 8 assists or Cousins' 15 points and 8.5 rebounds are much inferior.

On the other hand, Griffin's performance in the NBA debut after the No. 1 pick in 2009 was also very eye-catching. After five games, he averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds per game. The double-double data is not inferior to Jeremy Lin.

The league media have also predicted that the best rookie of the season is likely to be born between Jeremy Lin and Griffin.

(Sorry, the plan can’t keep up with the changes. I have been working overtime yesterday. I didn’t go home until after 11 o’clock in the evening. I fell asleep when I went back. I didn’t have time to type. One chapter is the time code, it is estimated that there will be one chapter today, and 5 chapters are owed at present, please monitor it.)
