Yao Ming Draft Template Although Yao Ming's idol is Sabonis, perhaps Yao Mingsheng is destined to be a Rocket Man. At that time, according to Yao Ming's height, moving steps and offensive means, many American media gave Yao Ming the best draft template, which was Olajuwon, the best player in rocket history. This starting point is not high. As for the worst template, it was the second in 1993. Bradley, a big bamboo pole with a height of 229 cm, is the person who becomes the background wall of Madikou.
Did Yao Ming overtake them? Let's look at the lower limit first. Bradley played 12 years in the league, averaging 8. 1 minute, 6.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 2.5 blocks. The greatest honor of his career was winning the blocked shot in 1997. Obviously, Bradley is not as good as Yao Ming in data, honor, and role in the team, so there is nothing wrong with surpassing him. What about the best template? It might be a little difficult. As the strongest celebrity of the Rockets, Olajuwon played for the NBA in 18 season, averaging 2 1.8 points and1.1rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.5 blocks. Obviously, Yao Ming averaged 19 points and 9.2 points per game. In terms of achievement, Dream has won two championships for the Rockets and is far ahead of Yao Ming in personal honor. But in terms of influencing and promoting the development of basketball, Yao Ming's contribution is much more than Olajuwon's. Generally speaking, Yao Ming failed to surpass Olajuwon on the court, and even had no chance to equalize the score.
Maybe he wasn't injured, maybe his career wasn't that short, and Yao Ming still had a chance to compete with Olajuwon, but after all, Yao Ming was defeated by a damn injury.
The so-called draft template, that is, the orientation of the future development direction of rookie players, is a judgment of the team management on the ability of draft players, from the aspects of body, technology and play. Of course, this is only a basic judgment, and there are still uncertain factors about what players can achieve in the future.
As the No.1 pick in the NBA in 2002, Dayao has an outstanding height of 2.26 meters, as well as a soft touch and solid basic skills in the basket. At that time, scouts gave Yao very high expectations for template evaluation. But at the same time, Yao also has some obvious defects, especially his thin body, which makes scouts have to question whether he can adapt to the NBA's high-intensity confrontation, so the lower limit of template evaluation is also very low.
Now that Yao has retired for many years, looking back, did he surpass the best template and the worst template given to him by scouts at that time?
Bottom line: Sean Bradley just said this name. I'm afraid most fans don't know who he is, but I think everyone should be impressed by the classic scene of McGrady riding a horse to buckle the Mavericks center. Yes, he is shawn bradley, known as the 2.29-meter-high bamboo pole.
So what did Bradley achieve in the NBA? Bradley, as the No.2 in the 1993 NBA draft, was naturally famous for his outstanding height in the early days, which gave him super blocking ability. He averaged 5.2 shots per game in college and even caught up with the number of rebounds.
After entering the league, Bradley also showed his strong blocking ability. Rookie can contribute 10.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game. Unfortunately, due to injury, he only played 49 games and ended his first season. In the next few seasons, although Bradley's performance was remarkable, his progress was very limited because of his thin body and occasional injuries.
It was not until 1997 that Bradley moved to the Mavericks that his career began to improve. After several years of NBA experience, he seems to gradually adapt to the rhythm and intensity of NBA games. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for injuries to find him again, because back injuries and leg injuries limited his playing time and weakened his ability, and the data continued to decline.
In 2004, due to a knee injury, Bradley's condition declined sharply and his position in the team was marginalized. Finally, in 2005, due to injury and family reasons, 33-year-old Bradley and Mavericks reached an agreement to buy out the contract (there were three years left at that time) and announced their retirement on June 26.
Bradley can only get 8. 1 point, 6.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game in his career, but in terms of honor, Bradley basically got nothing except winning a block and being selected as the second best rookie. So obviously, Yao's career achievements far exceed Bradley's.
Upper limit: I don't want to introduce Olajuwon's big dream. As one of the four passing centers, he is a champion, FMVP, MVP, rebounding king, blocking king, best defense, best player, all-star, Hall of Fame and so on. As a basketball player, he almost includes all the honors he can get.
In the history of NBA, rookie players who can use big dreams as templates are absolutely rare. There are also the former bullet boss, Garnett, the All-Star Wolf King, Embiid, the active emperor, and Yao, our only four players. Dayao was also guided by his dream teacher during the rocket period. He is a great beneficiary of Dream Footsteps under the Basket, and he has also learned many other things.
So Yao is better than Blue in shine on you? Let's take a look at Yao's personal honor, Hall of Fame, one-time best rookie, eight-time All-Star, two-time best second team and three-time best team, and so on. It can be said that Yao can get almost no hard power honor, let alone surpass the teacher, which is difficult to achieve.
Don't talk about honor, see if there is a comparison between data and talent? Dream career scored 2 1.8 points,1.1rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 3. 1 blocks, while Dayao averaged1blocks in his career.
Not to mention the simple gap in data, we must know that Daydream 18 season produced such average data, while Dayao only has 9 seasons, so terrible and lasting peak combat power is beyond Dayao's reach.
Finally, talk about the gap in physical talent. In addition to the height advantage, Dayao has almost no advantage in other aspects of his body. Big Dream is one of the few fast-paced players in the big man. Its powerful explosive power, body flexibility and arm span are better than Dayao's, and the final conclusion is clear at a glance.
Summarizing the evaluation of Dayao has always been controversial, especially in the evaluation of Dayao's position in the NBA league. Many fans feel that Yao's special status as a China player gives him an objective advantage in identity evaluation. I have to say that Dayao was indeed the beneficiary of that era, and it is undeniable that times make heroes.
But a hero must have the talent and ability that a hero should have, which is beyond doubt, otherwise the opportunity will be lost. Although his career is not long, there are also low periods, but aside from these, Yao's strength on the court is really not black, and the data is not lying, otherwise Buckley would not kiss up.
Evaluating a player is not only the performance on the court, but also the data, honor and influence, which can also play a positive role and influence off the court. These are all parts that can't be ignored, and this is the whole picture that basketball should have.
The Ball is the same, seeking common ground while reserving differences. I am the god on the right hand side.
In 2002, Yao Ming was actually full of controversy. Many teams and fans really don't think highly of him. When the draft was determined to be the number one scholar, the audience gave a hiss. As for the NBA template, just look at it. Most players have not developed in the direction of their own templates.
The best template in Yao Ming: Olajuwon. Yao Ming entered the NBA, and his best template was Olajuwon. Yao Ming's best template is Olajuwon. Because of Yao Ming's excellent hand feel and footwork, Olajuwon can hook the sky and Yao Mingcan hook the hand, which also has the same points. As we all know, Yao Ming and Olajuwon are not like each other. Yao Ming's speed and flexibility are much worse than Daydream's, but their core strength exceeds Olajuwon's, and their offensive style is not particularly similar. As for Yao Ming's performance, it is indeed much worse than the big dream. Olajuwon is the top five superstar in history. He dominated the league and led the Rockets to win two championships in the two years since he retired from Jordan. Yao Ming's level should be an all-star player, close to a superstar at the peak. But he has nothing to do with superstars. Career is too short, much worse than Olajuwon.
Yao Ming's Best Template: Bradley.
This Bradley is the No.2 show of 1993, and it is called Bradley with a big bamboo pole. His height is 2.29 meters, which is three centimeters higher than that of Yao Ming. It is because of his height that he became a role model for Yao Ming. But it turns out that he and Yao Ming have nothing in common except their height. Bradley has no talent on the offensive end, so he can only catch the ball at the basket to end the attack and grab some frontcourt rebounds for a second attack. But his advantage is the defensive end. Bradley is very good at using his height and wingspan in defense, and his blocking ability is excellent. 1997 became the league's blocked shot king. He has always been a role player in the NBA, and Yao Ming has made greater achievements than him.
Yao Ming is the pride of basketball in China. His grades are really high, and he was selected into the NBA Hall of Fame. I hope he can lead the China men's basketball team better and better and play a great role in the new post.
When Yao Ming participated in the NBA draft in 2002, the NBA presented two draft templates, Olajuwon and Bradley. Undoubtedly, the upper limit is Olajuwon and the lower limit is Bradley.
Although he played in the league for a short time and retired due to injury after only eight seasons, he averaged 32.5 minutes in 486 games, and was able to get 19 points, 9.2 rebounds 1.6 assists 1.9 blocks, shooting 52.4% from the field and 83.3% from the free throws. During this period, he was selected as an All-Star eight times.
Where's Bradley? Bradley is 229cm tall and has the nickname of "big bamboo pole". As the second show of 1993, although he played 12 season in the league, in 832 games during this period, he averaged only 8. 1 minute, 6.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks, and his shooting percentage was only 45.7%, which was the best. Bradley averaged only 14.6 points, 8.7 rebounds 1 assists and 2.7 blocks per game. In 12' s career, Bradley has never been selected as an All-Star, and the most impressive thing in his career may be blocked by Iverson.
Look at Olajuwon, the legendary superstar of the Rockets. Career 18 played 1238 games, averaging 35.7 minutes, and was able to get 2 1.8 points,1.65,438+0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 steals and blocks. 12 was selected as an all-star, 12 was selected as the whole team, 9 was selected as the all-defensive team, 2 was selected as the rebounding king, 3 was selected as the blocked shot king, and 2 was selected as the defensive player of the season. More importantly, he helped the Rockets win two consecutive championships and the MVP in the finals.
To sum up, Yao Ming's career is better than the last one, and also better than the last one. Compared with Bradley, it exceeds its own template. Compared with Olajuwon, it is simply incomparable!
After entering the NBA in 2002, Yao Ming was selected as the top pick by the Rockets, and he became the first foreign top pick in NBA history!
Although Yao Ming had shown strong dominance in CBA before he entered the NBA, and was booed by fans when he entered the No.1 draft, Yao Ming watched TV at home!
Because the Rockets had a very good center Olajuwon before, the best template for Yao Ming is the legendary center of the Rockets, and the worst template is the rookie Bradley of 1993!
Yao Ming and Olajuwon are both great centers of the Wei Shi Rockets, but Yao Ming obviously didn't surpass Olajuwon. After all, Olajuwon is a legendary center in history. He has won numerous personal honors and brought the Rockets only two championships in team history!
Can Harden surpass Olajuwon in the future? No, he is definitely the first person in team history!
Yao Ming's worst template is Bradley, No.2 of 1993, who is also the background player of Carter's amazing performance! He also made some achievements in the NBA, at least winning the block at 1997!
Bradley has become a model for Yao Ming because he is 2.29 meters tall, but his career average is only 8. 1 6.3 rebounds, and Yao Ming is clearly ahead! No matter from the strength or influence, Yao Ming has greatly surpassed Bradley!
Let's take a look at Yao Ming's NBA draft report:
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
According to the actual situation in Yao Ming, the reference template given by NBA officials at that time was Rick schmitz. There are also the best upper limit template Olajuwon and the worst lower limit template Bradley, which are widely circulated in the media.
An Overview of Yao Ming's NBA Career Yao Ming officially landed in the NBA in 2002 as the top pick.
In the rookie season, he contributed 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds 1.7 assists 1.8 blocks in less than 30 minutes.
In the 2003-04 season, Yao Ming scored 4 1 point, 16 rebounds and 7 assists in the game between the Rockets and the Hawks, among which the scores and assists were the highest in his career.
In the 2004-05 season, Yao Ming scored 22 rebounds in the Rockets-Suns game, setting a career record.
In the 2006-07 season, Yao Ming averaged 25 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. 25 points per game is also the highest point per game in his career season.
Throughout his career, Yao Ming averaged 19.3 points, 9.7 rebounds 1.6 assists 1.9 blocks. Eight-time All-Star, two-time Best Second Team, three-time Best Third Team, 2065,438+06 Basketball Hall of Fame.
Yao Ming's foothold in the NBA is really not easy.
When he first entered the league, Yao Ming couldn't adapt to the intensity of the game, and he played badly in the first few games. At that time, Buckley, a famous NBA player, publicly mocked Yao Ming, and even bet with his peers that if Yao Ming scored 19 in the game, he would kiss the donkey's ass. At first, it means kissing Smith's ass. )
In the end, Yao Ming scored 20 points against the Lakers and punched Buckley in the face. (But Buckley was willing to admit defeat and kissed the ass on a national TV program. )
Career overview of Yao Ming's three draft templates rik smits
1988 Schmitz was selected by the Pacers in the second overall pick in the first round.
In the rookie season, Schmitz averaged 1 1.7 points and 6 rebounds per game, and his performance was quite satisfactory. He was also selected for the best rookie team.
However, due to physical limitations and more injuries in the later period, Schmitz's average score has been hovering below 20 points; Slow movement greatly reduced his defensive ability. This also led to his failure to grow into a real star, and he was selected as an All-Star only once in his career.
In 12' s career, schmitz averaged 14.8 points, 6 rebounds 1.6 assists 1.3 blocks.
Bradley
Bradley 1993 second place in the first round joined the 76 ers.
Bradley was ambitious in his rookie season. As a result, he was injured after playing for more than half a season, averaging 10, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. (The blocking level is really good. )
However, due to his thin body, Bradley has been unable to adapt to the NBA-level confrontation and has been injured repeatedly. In his career, he played two complete seasons.
In terms of honor, Bradley 1997 was elected as the blocked shot king with 3.4 blocked shots per game, and the others were nothing. Career average is 8. 1 point, 6.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 2.5 blocks.
Olajuwon
There is nothing to say about the career of "Big Dream". After all, he is one of the best centers in NBA history.
Two-time champion and FMVP, regular season 1 MVP, 12 all-star, 6-time best player, 2-time best defensive player,196 "Top 50 NBA Stars", 2008 Basketball Hall of Fame.
His career averaged 2 1.8 points, 1 1. 1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 3 blocks.
On the whole, Yao Ming certainly surpassed Rick schmitz and Bradley in his career performance, but he still has a long way to go. (After all, there are only three or four centers who can compete with Big Dream. )
In addition to Yao Ming, there are five other NBA players in China who successfully landed in the NBA, namely Wang, Bater, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and China.
Wang participated in the NBA draft from 65438 to 0999, and the template was kukoc of Bulls.
Bater joined the Nuggets as a free agent in 2002 and has no draft experience.
Yi Jianlian participated in the NBA draft in 2007, and the template was Gasol.
Sun Yue participated in the NBA draft in 2007, and the template was Bruce Dior.
Qi zhou participated in the 20 16 NBA draft with loren woods as the template.
It can be seen that, except Yao Ming, no other players in China who have played NBA have surpassed their own templates. Even loren woods, the worst performer (2.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game), qi zhou failed to surpass his opponent. (Zhou Qi averaged 1.3 points 1.2 rebounds)
Conclusion After qi zhou's 20 18 was laid off by the Rockets, no basketball player in China set foot in the NBA.
Although Guo Haowen of CBA Shanghai team, Lin Tingqian of Tianjin team and Tang Jie of Fujian team all announced their participation in this year's NBA draft last month, the probability of being selected is almost zero. (even considered by the outside world to be hype)
The NBA has been setting up predecessor templates for players participating in the draft since the 1970s! Imagine who you would know when Xiao Hua announced that Edwards was elected as the No.1 scholar this year. Where did you play? What are the technical features? I don't think anyone can tell except professional basketball players, but when Edwards' template on the big screen is Dwyane Wade, everyone will suddenly realize: Oh, just like him!
So is Yao Ming. In 2002, information technology was not as developed as it is now. At that time, the understanding of Yao Ming in the United States was limited to his height and performance in the CBA Finals. So, which senior Yao Ming can be used as a template in the draft meeting became a focus at that time!
Yao Ming's draft report in 2002! Every top draft or high draft is hard-won, so the Rockets, Bulls, Warriors and even Grizzlies and Nuggets must have turned Yao Ming upside down and studied it!
Advantages: 7 feet 5 inches, slightly light, but good athletic ability, and various scoring methods. He can not only hit a jumper at the three-point line, but also complete a hook at the basket through his own steps! With good offensive awareness and creative passing, he will be a very threatening inside player!
Disadvantages: The first one is the problem of adaptation. It is not easy for this young man to live in a foreign country. He has to work harder to really gain a foothold in the NBA! Secondly, there are still many problems in his defensive end, especially his thin body, which makes it difficult for him to persist in 15 minutes in NBA-level confrontation. Besides, his feet and knees will be hidden dangers for such a tall big man!
As can be seen from this report, the analysis of Yao Ming by the League at that time was very accurate, but they still underestimated the growth of Yao Ming!
There is only one official template for Yao Ming: Rick schmitz! There are many templates circulated privately, from Olajuwon, Sabonis to Bradley and so on. But in fact, there is only one template given by NBA officials in the 2002 draft, and he is the third runner-up of 1988, Rick schmitz!
Schmitz is from Holland, with a height of 2.24 meters and a thin figure. His shooting and free throws are no less than Yao Ming's. It is really appropriate to use him as a template for Yao Ming!
But in the subsequent growth, there are still differences between Yao Ming and schmitz. Schmitz is a typical European center with accurate shooting and good coordination. His peak performance was 1998. He scored 25 points in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, helping the Pacers drag the Bulls into the tiebreak!
But Schmitz's shortcomings are also obvious. Although Yao Ming is tall, he is not clumsy, but Schmitz is different! On the offensive end, Schmitz's shooting speed is a problem, and at the same time, because he is too thin, Schmitz often floats around to shoot, while on the defensive end, Schmitz moves too slowly, the speed can't keep up with the outside line, and his strength can't hold up the inside line! Therefore, although Schmitz started 792 of 867 games in his career, his average playing time was only a little more than 20 minutes. His best year was the 1997-98 season, averaging 28.6 minutes, 16.7 points and 6.9 rebounds, and he was selected as an all-star team that year!
Yao Ming's resume is very clear to everyone. In the second year of his career, Yao Ming was selected as the All-Star Team of the Year with a block of 17.5 points and 9 rebounds 1.9. Throughout his career, he was selected to the All-Star Team eight times and five times. After retiring, he was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2065, 438+06. Yao Ming has surpassed his template Schmitz in strength and achievement!
Finally, a few other people's templates. James' templates are Magician, Mashburn and Pippen. Durant template is McGrady; Leonard's template is Gerald Wallace; Xinge template is batum library template is Raouf; Harden's template is Ginobili. Do you think these guys are better than their templates?
Yao Ming, the insurmountable mountain of basketball in China, was once crowded when he played for the Rockets in Yao Ming. Yao Ming is also the first scholar outside the United States, which is really the pride of China people.
So, who is the best template and the worst template in Yao Ming draft? The best template is Olajuwon, and the worst template is Bradley with a big bamboo pole. There is no doubt that Yao Ming just surpassed one of them.
Yao Ming, who is 226 cm tall, is the center. Height, rebounding, flexibility, good hook, excellent shooting, strong passing ability, but slow moving speed and weak strength. This is the evaluation of Yao Ming at the beginning of the draft.
So, what about Olajuwon and Bradley?
Olajuwon, height 2 13CM, center, African native. He came to America because of his outstanding athletic talent. Because I practiced football, handball and other sports before playing basketball, my body coordination and mobility are very good. Olajuwon's basketball skills can be said to be the best among the centers in history. His offensive style is ever-changing, his pace is unpredictable, and he is especially good at confusing his opponents with all kinds of gorgeous fake moves. Most contemporary centers can't crack his fantastic attack, so Olajuwon is called "big dream". Daydream has excellent offensive ability and superior defensive strength. Because of its extremely fast pace, it can keep up with the pace of most players, and its height, arm length and defensive consciousness are excellent, and its blocking ability is unparalleled. Therefore, Olajuwon basically touched the ceiling by Yao.
So, what about Bradley? Bradley is taller than Yao Ming, 229CM tall and 3CM taller than Yao Ming. This buddy is nicknamed "big bamboo pole", which shows that he is weak in confrontation, but he is not entirely a vegetable chicken. Because of his outstanding height, he was the first player in the NBA to send more than 10 blocks twice in a row, and he also completed it twice, both of which were 198.
Because Yao Ming is skilled, compared with Da Meng, and his height is similar to that of Bradley. At the beginning of his career, Yao Ming's confrontation was slightly weak, similar to Bradley's, so Bradley will also serve as a model for Yao Ming.
When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, his performance was not as good as Yi Jianlian's. In this regard, Buckley even bet on the show that if Yao Ming scored more than 19 in a single game, he would kiss up. However, Yao Ming made Buckley really kiss up with his own efforts.
Yao Ming concentrated China people's good qualities of diligence, introversion and modesty, coupled with Yao Ming's humor and talkativeness, and soon integrated into the team, and his performance became more and more brilliant. If there were no injuries, Yao Ming's NBA career might be better.
In the end, Yao Ming played eight seasons in NBA8, except for coming off the bench in rookie season 10. Finally, Yao Ming got 19.3 points and 9.7 rebounds with 52.4% shooting percentage. Yao Ming, with his powerful influence, was elected to the Hall of Fame after retiring.
After Bradley retired, his technical statistics were 8. 1 6.5 rebounds. Recently, Bradley had a bicycle accident at home, which caused paralysis. Good luck to Bradley for the rest of his life.
There is no doubt that Yao Ming's achievements exceed his worst template, Bradley.
And Yao Ming is far from surpassing his best template Olajuwon.
Yao Ming is lucky! There is a huge market behind him. China manufacturers are frantically waving checks at Toyota Center, and the Rockets are doing their best to train Yao Ming. Yao Ming also worked hard, and finally Yao Ming succeeded.
If it weren't for sweating in the gym day after day, Yao Ming's fighting ability would not be much better than his worst template, Bradley, and Yao Ming is the representative of Heaven's reward.
Every year, a player participates in the NBA draft, and NBA officials will give a template to divide the best and worst templates according to his physical fitness and potential. As the strongest player in China's basketball history, everyone must be curious about who his template is.
Best template: Olajuwon
Yao Ming entered the NBA as the No.1 pick in 2002. In the CBA Finals the year before last, Dayao averaged 40+20 per game, which shows how powerful Yao Ming is.
In the draft, the best template selected by American media for Yao Ming was Olajuwon. Olajuwon is regarded as the best center player, and his fantastic steps are unique skills. He is not only outstanding on the offensive end, but also full of deterrence on the defensive end. He is the total blocked shot king in NBA history and ranks in the top ten in history.
Worst template: Bradley
This brother was the one who was detained by Carter at the Olympic Games, leaving a psychological shadow from then on. Although this German center was the third runner-up show of 1993, and there was no bright spot in his career, it became a background board for others to worship God.
Bradley played 12 seasons in the NBA and played for three teams. In 832 games, he averaged 8. 1 minute, 6.3 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 2.5 blocks. There is no other honor except winning the title of blocked shot king. Yao Ming's career average is 19.2 points and 9. 1 rebounds.
Did Yao Ming overtake them?
Being able to regard Olajuwon as the best template for Dayao shows that the American media attaches importance to Yao Ming. However, Olajuwon is a phenomenal player after all, and it is too difficult for Yao Ming to surpass him. However, compared with Bradley, Yao Ming undoubtedly surpassed him a lot. Yao Ming also left many bright spots in the NBA, and never missed an All-Star.
Summary:
As a center, Yao Ming's technique is very delicate, and his free throw percentage is the best among the centers. It's just that the movement is too slow and the footwall is unstable, which leads to frequent injuries. If Yao Ming only played in the NBA for eight years because of injury, his career in the NBA would be even more brilliant. Mainly because Yao Ming's occupational load is too heavy. In addition to playing in the NBA for one season, Yao is also duty-bound as long as the national team calls him, which makes his injury worse. Now, as the president of the Basketball Association, Yao Ming is also committed to promoting the progress of basketball in China, hoping that China can find a successor like Yao Ming as soon as possible.
