29 For spurs
is a magic number
So far this season, the team has played the best three people
All from the 29th pick in the first round:
Murray, who averaged a triple-double per game
Stout flank Kelden
And, "unremarkable"
Derek White
The first two, not to mention the name of the whole United States
But at least it was their high school years
The presence of the top dozens in the United States
And the last one
If only time could go on again
He may now be at one of the Michelin restaurants
In front of the chef
And the San Antonio Spurs
Simply kidnapped the cook
Or rather, spurs saved the cook
White, who graduated from high school at just 1.78 meters
It is a dancing teenager who dreams of chasing the NBA
But reality is always very bone-chilling:
In White's father went door to door
After sending a videotape of White to dozens of schools
White remains unattended
Even the schools of the Second Tier Alliance did not want this
It looks like a mediocre little dwarf
After looking around
White eventually received an invitation to a university
It's just that they don't offer basketball scholarships
There are no great basketball teams
This is a school majoring in cooking
There have been countless Michelins here
But there has never been an NBA player
Fortunately, White met a coach who admired him very much
Culver
When Culver received the Second Grade Union School
When the Colorado Spring School coach is invited
He chose to take his beloved apprentice White with him
There, White played a dominant-level performance
After three years, he was able to transfer to the first level of the university
But it also means he's going to be suspended for a year
That's it, at the age of 23
He finally hit NCAA D1
By this time, he had grown into one
A double-powered defender with a height of 193 and an arm span of 202
And the Spurs also took a fancy to the tall guard
Didn't let White go back to the kitchen
They signed an ordinary million dollar contract in the NBA
White was finally able to use the money to pay off his student loans
After Parker and Ginobili left in succession
White began to gradually show his abilities
He was ghostly like a demon knife
And can control the field like Parker
At that time, there was a saying among Spurs fans
"Favorable Azan Adversity, Desperate White Emperor Sweep Liuhe"
So and so, the name of the "White Emperor of the Holy City"
Gradually it became louder
In the draft report, White's shortcomings are as follows:
Lacks explosiveness and traverse ability
That could affect his layup finish and defense
But the truth is
The White Emperor can not only compartmentalize
It can also provide a flat-frame block on the defensive end
I have to say, the real problem of lateral shift
It did affect White's defense
But White's excellent ball quotient and steady pace
Let him do it most of the time without losing his position
As long as you're not the top speed in the league
It was hard to slip away from White's eyes
Two consecutive seasons averaged more than 1 block per game
It is also a description of his defensive deterrence
This season, his shooting percentage is not accurate
But on the offensive end he has enough weapons
He can hit those empty three-pointers
Ability to dribble at some point to create space hit the planet
It can also be used to break into the basket with the help of a block
Attract the assistant defense and pass the ball to the big player down the line to complete the finish
It is also possible to quickly instigate a quick attack after a successful defense
Shove the ball into the hands of a fast-moving teammate
I can even complete beautiful cuts often
End the offense with a dunk
As the highest paid player in the Spurs team at present
White is proving with performance
Spurs' eyes are poisonous
He is 27 years old
White, entering his fifth season
Still on the way to growth
But what does it matter?
He's not flipping a spoon right now
It's about shooting
That's legendary enough
It is a miracle that we have come to this world
We seek new light every day
