When I played high school basketball, I was a nightmare for my coach.
I had a good size for a point protector in 6 meters 2. In 40, I had a good speed for a center in 6.2.
I couldn’t shoot, so Aries put me in the point protector.
On the offensive. Absolutely not in defense.
My father had the coach’s ear and insisted on playing, so I did with instructions: he twisted his butt to defense. And only the edits hit.
I was fine on the upholstery. It can do at least three out of each four.
And it turns out, I was good in defense. As long as I match men without blur.
I can protect the league’s best forward and firing guards. Even some centers. It is not difficult to motivate while sitting on the counter.
So I believe I can protect Nikola Jokic. I can’t make more men.
Okay, not 6-2 and 185 pounds as I am in high school. My son is 6-7, 230-me give me this dimension and I know I can do it.
I mean, look at Jokic.
It includes one of the slowest players in court and WNBA. And he’s not a great 3 -point shooter.
These two things combine it to make it protective.
The key to Jokic’s success is his foot work… And in most of his defenders, stupidity. The first is not exactly the level of dan dancing with the stars ,, that’s why everyone has a chance.
Even me.
In 6-7? Certainly. Have you watched Draymond Green’s match with him? 6-6 years old.
Draymond knows how to defense. And he knows Jokic. Bring the two together, and otherwise you understand why the unstoppable power hit 33 percent or less in your career against Warriors, under 50 percent of the average career in 25 of 36 matches and below the career average.
What Draymond taught me is this:
When Jokic puts his back in the basket, give him some place. That’s when he likes to return, which is problematic for any defender. However, due to the gap, a single-step head start, it can turn like a top-it does not go anywhere.
Protect him tightly while looking at the circle. To move forward, when you look forward, he will not help him and will not wander around. If you are connected to him, when you take a step back to pull the patented Fadaway, you just step with him. Like dancing.
And to cry loudly: no double team. My message to any teammate to help me: If they want to protect Jokic, you will be protecting Jokic. Michael Porter Jr. Or you are focusing on preventing Christian Braun from appearing open. Like Thunder. And if you are protecting Russell Westbrook… Dude, you must be a bad defender, because this man can’t shoot straight.
When Jokic cannot pass, the worst is. It helped an average of 5.2 games in the Oklahoma City series – about half of the season average. And it attracts 45 percent, which explains why Nuggets is in a hole.
What is the popular lament among the football coaches of bad high school teams? We’re small, but we’re slow.
Jokic is slow, but he can’t jump. I could be an advocate in the world against such men. So, everyone who has 10 times my talent.
It lifts the ball to throw, don’t move.
You see that the ball is starting to leave his hand, jump.
Remember, he doesn’t jump, so the release point is perhaps 9 meters away. I touch 8 feet without jumping.
Then, when the ball had a foot, I quickly jumped the 2 feet required to slap his shot.
Did you know that Tim Duncan was the most shot in the history of NBA? Isn’t that Pau Gasol behind? And is this Zion Williamson covers a floor like a silky sullivan?
If you can’t jump to the top of the defenders, they have a chance. And Jokic has Zion disease.
Key: Do not skip until you see that the ball is preparing for the departure. This prevents a disadvantageous position, allows Jokic’s scoring the most pillow to do two things – overcoming you or making fouls.
Lester Hayes could have protected Jokic. He had the right approach: leave me alone and the rest is playing 10 to 10. No struggle. No Blitzing. There is no scope of the region. Just me, my conquest and a man.
Of course, scanning is part of the homework, but this is another area where Jokic’s lack of speed and skipping helps me. There is an aspect of the rebound finder, and if I’m on that road, the foul will not risk it.
Not me.
And this leads to a fun part: when we buy rebounds, I and the Galoot in a 94 -meter laziness race in front of the other rim. I can win this race – especially in the newspaper, especially in doing so.
I learned this in high school.
The final score stipulated in any night: Jokic 24 points, me eight.
I would be a hero who led to a greater problem:
What do I say to Doris in the post -game interview?
“I want to thank my father, because if he doesn’t know the coach…”
