As long as you know basketball, it's impossible not to envy Hayward. As the most successful man on the professional court, he is the object of fantasy of every basketball lover in the world. There is a hot wife, there is a cute looking daughter, the court has received a big contract, the key is that people play the game very well. With such an achievement, it is impossible for anyone not to envy. So it may also be out of jealousy that many people have given Hayward a bad nickname. But despite this, it is undeniable that Hayward is a real-life version of the winner.
Hayward's way into the league was relatively smooth, playing for the Utah Jazz in the early days, and then there was another figure in the team is now the main interior Gobert. Although the results of the two are not very good, the combination of Gobert and Hayward is also good. Later, the Jazz regrouped, and Gobert stayed in Utah, waiting for Mitchell, while Hayward ran to Boston. Everyone knows the next thing, because of the injury, Hayward's data performance has been falling. Perhaps because of fear of being injured again, Hayward's desire to fight has also fluctuated significantly. So from that time on, everyone was not optimistic about Hayward. Although the Celtics still gave a relatively high tactical position, allowing Hayward enough time to prove himself. Later, Hayward joined the Hornets and became a member of the emerging team.
From a functional point of view, Hayward's initial positioning should be a spatial four-digit position. This kind of player is still relatively popular with most teams in the small-ball era. Because everyone knows that this kind of player is unattainable, and most teams have space requirements, a player who can open up space and at the same time ensure a high degree is definitely a feast in this era. This is also the main reason why the Celtics are willing to give opportunities and the Hornets are willing to give high salaries. No one could resist a qualified number four, a big forward with spatial ability attributes.
In fact, before entering the league, Hayward was not a pure basketball player. In high school, Hayward wanted to pursue a career in tennis. And at a young age, Hayward's height was not suitable for playing big forwards, and when he was a child, his father trained with Hayward, and more of a guard's skills. After all, the height is not enough, the skill to make up. No one expected Hayward's height to rise so quickly, but it was relatively easy for defenders to play inside, but they needed to add some skills, speed and footsteps, in fact, they had all been learned before.
That's one of the main reasons we say Hayward is a winner in life, that he's talented enough to support everything he wants. If you want to play tennis, your career is successful enough. Wanting to play basketball, he was selected by a mid-range team with the 9th pick in the first round. Isn't this kind of luck and strength that everyone wants to have?
Having said what's off the field, let's talk about some of Hayward's on-field performances. Before being injured, Hayward could have a large no-ball run. This is understandable, because this is Hayward's own spatial attribute. The Celtics were willing to accept Hayward in the first place because there were a lot of singles on this team who could control the ball. The emergence of Hayward, while increasing the team's offensive points, can optimize the team's ball structure. After all, players who play without the ball can be largely compatible with any team.
Compared to his season at the Jazz, Hayward had less ball possession at the Celtics. No way, everyone needs the ball. Fortunately, Hayward's efficiency has not changed, and he still maintains the excellent level in the same position in the two areas of fixed point attack and conversion attack. But it is worth mentioning that after the injury, before the heart knot was completely opened, many of Hayward's offensive methods have failed. Or rather, Hayward didn't dare to use these tactics anymore. For example, empty cutting, hand-to-hand, around the cover and so on. The reason is also very simple, the injury that occurred before because of the back-running is still the biggest knot that plagues Hayward. Just imagine, if it were you, would you dare to use this trick against your opponent? Most of them dare not!
Later, this slowly became a point for everyone black sea ward. At the same time, Paul George was also injured, but George showed great resilience after the injury, and he did not fear his injury, but looked directly at the demons. So George feels like a tough guy, and Hayward is a bit of a. Everyone's favorite stars are all with a sense of power, Hayward is a white man, born not to please the fans who advocate power, coupled with such a "previous crime", it is also reasonable to attract infamy.
However, Hayward's offense is still more commendable. In season 17, Hayward averaged nearly 50 percent from the field and ranged from near the three-point line to the interior. Holding the ball and not having the ball, Hayward found a more suitable balance point, everyone has a lot of criticism on the surface, but when he sees the data, he still can't pick out any thorns.
Finally, there is the defense. Hayward's defense has no advantage, one is that he is not static talented enough, has height, but does not have enough arm span. So if you want to use a death entanglement like Leonard, it is basically impossible. Therefore, if you want to improve your defensive qualities, you must rely on skills. But for the polishing of skills, it is often necessary to have a good coach and a good environment. In Utah Jazz, despite the general environment, at least developed good defensive habits. In fact, like Thompson, Hayward's defense is relatively clean. And because of the advantage of body size, it is not easy to lose in strength against some big players. After arriving at the Celtics, the young marshal also polished him. The young marshal is a Confucian marshal, paying attention to details, and the vacancies that were not filled in the jazz before can basically be repaired back by this time. So the Hayward you see in the Hornets is basically a player who tends to be a big player. No way, who made the first few coaches so dedicated?
It's just that after suffering injuries, there has been a noticeable decline in speed. This is no way, physical fitness can not keep up, can not force Hayward to go up to the opponent to do it, this is not realistic.
Without injuries, Hayward's life would have been more perfect. Along the way, Hayward reaped all the happiness and was ridiculed by too many people for his mistakes and injuries. But if there is a choice, no one will resist Hayward's life.
