In the NBA, fierce physical confrontation is everywhere. In order to gain a foothold in the NBA, players need to constantly improve the intensity of confrontation. However, there are some "other" players in the NBA. They did the opposite and found another way out. They play healthy basketball, just like Tai Chi in Wulin. They look weak, but their ability to kill the enemy should not be underestimated. Let's take stock of the top five healthy players in the NBA today.
5. mike conley
Mike conley has been playing for the Grizzlies since he was selected by the Grizzlies in 2007. In people's impression, Conley is a low-key, practical and simple team player, but everyone who knows Conley knows that he is a very powerful player. Former Grizzlies coach Malone once said that Conley is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He is the kind of player who can play a high-level game at both ends of the offense and defense. Perhaps Conley is not known for his low-key and easy-going personality and unpretentious football style. Conley has been working hard on the court. In his ten-year NBA career, he has never been technically fouled on the court. This is also Conley's fitness method. He will always keep a modest and easy-going heart and concentrate on his work.
4. vincent carter
Vincent carter became one of the four most popular point guards in his early career with his explosive dunk and violent beauty. Although Carter's three-pointer is good, he advocates confrontation and hopes to solve the problem with dunk. With the growth of age, the decline of physical condition and some injuries, Carter began to transform into a pitcher. In the later stage of his career, Carter's attacks were mainly CIC and three-pointers, and the successful transformation extended his career better. Carter, who has now entered the age of no doubt, is still active on the stage of NBA. I have to say that Carter's healthy basketball is very successful and effective.
3. pau gasol
Pau Gasol has been criticized for his soft style since he entered the league. In fact, Pau Gasol's basketball skills are excellent, and the players are high, so he can control the whole court without going to the basket. At the same time, Pau Gasol has the temperament of a European gentleman, and rarely conflicts with people on the court. Gasol's playing style can't be called soft, and two championship trophies are the best proof for Gasol. Gasol uses his own skills and ball dealers to play more and take alternative healthy basketball to better extend his career. Last season, the 37-year-old Gasol was still averaging 12.4+7.8 in the Spurs. At the European Championship, Gasol was also under siege, which fully demonstrated the charm and value of healthy basketball.
2. lamarcus aldridge
Raemakers Aldridge's basketball is also unpretentious. As a black man, he doesn't have too many gorgeous moves, not too many violent aesthetics, but more solid technical moves. Ade, who is low-key and introverted by nature, doesn't want to have too much physical confrontation. His famous stunt is jump shot. 14 In the first two games of the first round of the playoffs, Adebayor blasted the No.4 position of the Rockets with his jumper. In two games, Adebayor scored 89 points and 26 rebounds, becoming the first player to score at least 80+ 15 in the first two playoff games after 1997 Michael Jordan. Adebayor's way of playing football enables him to protect himself well. So far, Adebayor has rarely been injured on the court. After joining the Spurs, Adebayor will pay more attention to playing his own healthy basketball.
James harden 1
No matter who is the best player of healthy basketball in the current league, he must have the name of Rockets james harden. Harden's healthy basketball keeps his attendance high all the year round, and he has only missed two games in the last three seasons. Harden's play is very clever. As a first-line superstar in the league, Harden scored points with his strong body and excellent rhythm changes. Harden seldom performs such a dangerous performance on the court, which protects his health. Of course, Harden has his own unique skill in scoring-making fouls. In the past three regular seasons, Harden has made more free throws than 10, ranking first in the league. Many people stand up and despise Harden's scoring method, but Harden's scoring method is indeed a clever scoring method. Harden's healthy basketball can help him continue the peak of his career and continue to attack the MVP trophy and the championship.
