This morning, I saw this interesting message:
Free agent Thomas Jr. has delivered six blocks this season, just one less than Lone Ranger center Boban Marianović.
I have to say, this is really a cold knowledge!
Boban, a heavy "nuclear weapon" in the NBA, is 2 meters 24 tall and has an arm span of 2 meters 34! Stand up and touch the height of 2 meters 92!
Before the All-Star, he quipped: "I'm the only player who can dunk without taking off, and I should go to the dunk contest." ”
And very interestingly, this season Boban has been covered by the opponent 11 times! In the two games before the suspension, he was fouled twice against the Nuggets, against the Spurs. He was covered with 3...
In other words, the total number of blocks for this big man this season has not been hated!
Why, would this be the case?
First of all, Boban played the role of a backup center in the Lone Ranger, and he did not get much playing time this season, averaging 9.1 minutes per game, 6.3 points and 4.1 rebounds, and was not the main force of the team.
Another factor is that Boban is almost a player without bouncing, although the height and arm length, but the athletic ability is difficult to say excellent, especially the ability to move very slowly, so it often becomes the point targeted by the opponent, and the cap will be less.
For the total number of blocks is only one more than Thomas Jr., many fans said: many opponents encounter Boban's "nuclear weapons" have to hide and fight, where dare to go to the basket, so the caps are naturally less.
It is not unreasonable to say this, but when such a "behemoth" is standing on the inside line of the lone ranger, the psychological shock to the other party is obviously there.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that Boban has hit 4 three-pointers this season, can you believe it?
In the last game before the suspension, he blasted 31 points and 17 rebounds against the Nuggets! Both stats are new NBA career highs!
When you see your fellow countryman, you must shoot him in the back (Boban and Jokic are both from Serbia)...
But no matter what, whenever Boban was present, he brought his own joy, and Digo liked to watch him play!
