Andrew Bogut, in addition to being known for his "Ice Clean Jade" alliance, also enjoys a special title - the champion qualification line.
The personal honor of the three-team two-proof cap king and no all-star is described by the metaphor of love, that is, "above the friendly, the lover is not enough".
We will not say that Bogut is a parallel cargo, but the height and long-term of his peak career are far from the expectations of fans for the yuan, and it is this embarrassment that makes him come to the position of the yuan qualification line.
Before returning to the Warriors, Bogut returned to the Australian League to play basketball for a season, and at the age of 33, he accidentally became a double award winner for MVP and DPOY, and he is still competitive.
Just looking at the video, whether it is in appearance or playing style, the current Bogut and the teammate who was Yi Jianlian at that time do not seem to be the same person.
What about young Bogut?
It was a period of frivolous madness in which Bogut was known as "White Duncan."
Why did this person become a champion?
Because, in addition to his strong but unusually flexible body, he really balanced the offensive and defensive ends like Duncan, and played a little cleaner than he is now.
The rookie skill pack includes:
1. Solid basketball basic skills: low foot and left and right small hookers.
2. First-class high-level strategy.
3, the sense of defense is excellent, and will not lose their defensive position because of the greed for the hot pot.
4. Rock-like high-quality blocking and demolition.
In terms of style, he is Adams before Adams, and he is a smart, left-right and flexible version, but the durability is reduced by 90%; or the Australian version of Yao Ming: tall, wise, calm, wherever he can be the axis of the team, but the hateful thing is that he is more vulnerable than Yao Ming...
In 2010, Bogut, who was just at his peak, was knocked down after a dunk, and his right hand after landing frightened teammate Jennings. This fall directly dislocated the two fingers and wrists of the right hand of the Australian who was not very good at ankles, plus the dislocation of the elbow.
After this, his left and right turn small hookers failed, and even tried to switch to his left hand to shoot at one point, and the scoring method began to change to only dunks.
Bogut's left ankle has not been healthy since entering the NBA, and the rookie season is his last full attendance. He also once said: "Healthy me, will be the top three center in the league", how much moisture this sentence has, only he himself knows.
The Bucks, who once regarded him as the team's hope, did not dare to keep him any longer. In 2012, the Bucks traded with the Warriors, getting then-Warriors star Ellis.
Originally, the Warriors' deployment was to get Howard, but the Bay Area could not fight Los Angeles, and the discerning Cole gave the original interior position to the second choice Bogut.
The Warriors' coach at the time was Mark Jackson. Curry has not yet become an open-hanging weapon.
But Kerr is a strategist gambler, and he understands that the Australian centre forward's still-available talent is the key piece of the puzzle to turn the Warriors from a random shot to a future champion team.
How good is Bogut's defense? Dream Green, who has always been complacent about defense, once said that if there was no Bogut's promotion in the rookie era, his defense would not be half as much as it is now.
Second, in the playoffs between the Rockets and the Warriors in the early years, it was Bogut who severely sanctioned Howard to make the Warriors easily advanced.
If there is an old family, if there is a treasure, then why was Bogut finally traded away?
It all starts with another team — the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In 2015 and 2016, in the face of seemingly invincible warriors, the Cavaliers still found a link to break through, the problem was in Bogut's abandoned offense and the increasingly slow movement speed.
The Cavaliers pioneered the "Release Bogut" to squeeze the Warriors' offensive space, and the Warriors had to press the defensive frame protectors on the bench.
Interestingly, the knight who officially saw through Bogut could not wait to sign Bogut to the team in the follow-up.
However, Bogut only played for the Cavaliers for 58 seconds before retiring to Australia, which was a wonderful coincidence.
This season, the man is back.
In case Cousins, who has not played the playoffs, is slow to integrate into the team's system, at least in the decisive moment, there is an alternative champion center to fight the fire.
Here's the key point: Bogut is 10 kilograms lighter than the last time he appeared in the NBA.
He quipped that because he was a wet dad and had to take care of his children, he was tired and thin.
In my opinion, he just knows that his weight loss is still enough in the NBA, and he has deliberately made weight losses in order to make up for his moving pace to reduce the life gate.
What should I say about Bogut?
The limitations of a scarred body, the addition of an unusually witty mind, allow him to become, but can be: "The Qualified Line".
What really makes fans remember Bogut is because of a pair of dirty hands, or, a championship heart.
