There are many European players in the league, but very few can be remembered. The most outstanding of these are certainly Jokic, Doncic and Alphabet Brother. And the two outliers we're going to talk about today are Doncic and Jokic. Why not include the alphabet brother? Because his approach is very different from the other two players. Doncic and Jokic are turning decay into magic. Alphabet brother is a force to drop ten will, pay attention to the aesthetics of violence.
These two genres actually represent two different kinds of fans. The aesthetics of violence are more attractive to fans who pay attention to the perception of the live stream, they prefer the bloody dunk performance, and the wisdom flow players need to sink their hearts to appreciate. Maybe one or two games can't see the beginning, only careful scrutiny can appreciate the charm inside.
Does that mean that Doncic and Jokic belong to the same type of player? From a macro, or rather, environmental point of view, they really belong to the same type. However, in terms of personal details, as well as the promotion of the team and the change of the influence of the game, there are still significant differences between the two. However, this difference is only for the individual and does not affect the actual perception. Let's start with the same thing: they're all young, and very talented players. There is no need to rely on strong outrageous physical fitness, but to rely on their own judgment of the situation, their understanding of the game, and the integration of various tactics to achieve the final effect. They are the perfect combination of individualism and teamwork, and they are also the core of the tactical organization that can bring configuration upgrades to the team.
The same point is that it is not bad, because everyone is going in this general direction. What about the differences? There are also some minutiae in it. There's a saying online that Jokic can take you to win a game without the ball, provided you give him most of the ball organization to execute, but you can't ask Doncic to play without the ball. What does this sentence mean? In fact, the meaning is that Jokic can help the team win the game by means of no ball, even if he is not the main offensive player, the end of each round is not ended by him, and it has little impact on Jokic. But Doncic is different, he has to take over the attack, organize. He needs to use his ball to drive his teammates, or even use offense to drive his teammates to impact. Both are ball-holding big cores of play, but the effect and perception are completely different.
Personally, I think this statement is very appropriate, because they are the difference between these places. Friends who have watched the ball for a long time should also be able to see the difference here, Jokic's style of play is similar to dream green, and Doncic's play is similar to James. The growth route of the two has a lot to do with their own growth environment. From the moment he entered the team, Doncic was the most important core of the team. Cuban wanted Doncic to grow into an NBA-level superstar in the shortest possible time, so he was given more freedom. Jokic's early growth was relatively limited, and naturally there was not such a good environment.
From the data point of view, we can also see that Doncic is the kind of player who has a big package. For now, Doncic remains the most used player in the league, at a staggering 35 percent. By contrast, many teams have a core of less than 30%, which is enough to see how outrageous Doncic's possession of the round is. Not only that, but the number of times he touches the ball is also amazing. Doncic's average touch time per game is 40% of the team's, and the number of touches is 20% of the team's. That said, the ball stuck to Doncic's hand most of the time.
Because of the different playing styles and different environments, the two teams want to play the most effective role, and the methods used are different. If you want to play to Doncic's ability, you must build a team with him at the core. In other words, the core of this team must be Doncic. Some people may say, isn't the core of the Nuggets also Jokic? There seems to be no difference between the two. Actually, this is not the case, because Doncic's team, all the configurations must be developed according to his characteristics.
Doncic needs teammates like James, flankers who can effectively defend, as well as top outside shooters. So you can see that after Doncic entered the team, most of the arrangements were also these types of players. As a vice-admiral, Porzingis also has a strong shooter attribute. But Jokic is different, Jokic can carry the system himself, or he can integrate into a system.
This strong adaptability also makes the Performance of the Nuggets in the later stages, especially after the results of the run-in, the overall chemical reaction is getting better and better. The Nuggets' team building idea is relatively simple, first of all to see what Jokic needs, and then to see the free market and what cards they have in their hands. Grasp this deck of cards first, and then adjust it. Once a system is built, Jokic can fit in. So the Nuggets can have multiple strong points, Murray is the team's offensive strength, Jokic is also counted. That's why we don't have a strong personal color when watching the Nuggets game. Their team nature is much higher than the individual attributes, which is the usual style of the European core.
Seeing this, everyone should understand that in terms of characteristics, Doncic's team is stronger, after all, this is an individualistic team. As for inclusion, Jokic's team is stronger. Of course, there is no discussion of the respective advantages of the two teams, nor does it consider who is stronger now, only a comparative distinction is made here.
Doncic's advantage is that he can act like a mercenary himself. Because Doncic has taken on most of the tasks, individual ability represents the ability of the team as a whole. James, Leonard, these are all players like that. So when it comes to negotiations, Doncic has more initiative. Jokic, on the other hand, needs to be savored slowly. The team can't suddenly become a team that can win the championship after having Jokic, but the basic set should be not far behind. The team's record needs to evolve, and it depends on the ability of the management to deploy. They can bring in better role players, equip Jokic with qualified assistants, and the team can get on track, which is the change that Jokic can bring to the team.
Europe is now the talent pool of the Union of the Americas. More and more European players are shining in the American market, and they already represent that the level of basketball in Europe can compete with the Strength of the Americas. The next thing to do is to mix the American market with a steady stream of European atmosphere.
