There are no muscle collisions, no wind-like rushes, and no dazzling fake movements. It only takes precise and reasonable touches, unexpected choices, to make projections and passes unpredictable, and to make the calm court suddenly ripple.
As long as you do something to the extreme on the court, you can cross one side, James's breakthrough, Curry's projection, and the physical fitness of Brother Alphabet.
Ramello Bauer took his imagination to the extreme. And then there were those incredible, unparalleled passes and goals.
Someone once asked Lamelo a question about what unique things he could bring to Charlotte. The young man, who had not yet reached his 21st birthday, replied: "My race is the most special thing. All I do on the pitch is my gift to Charlotte. ”
Last season, LaMelo Bauer has shown his ambition to become Charlotte's boss, surpassing Edwards as the third Hornets player in team history to be named Rookie of the Year. Ball averaged 28.8 minutes per game and averaged 15.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals. The 2020 chartmaker became the 12th rookie in NBA history to average at least 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and 1.5 steals per game since the '73-74 season. He's also the only player in the last 60 years who has led his rookies of the same year in terms of points, rebounds, assists and steals before All-Star Weekend. The 19-year-old has a statpot of 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in at least ten games, putting himself in the ranks of James and Doncic.
Moreover, he achieved the "cowhide" that his father once blew, and also saved the draft review of team owner Michael Jordan.
On Jan. 10, 2021, the Hornets defeated the Hawks, and Lamelo Ball had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, the first triple-double of Lamello's career and the youngest player in NBA history to have a triple-double. On October 21, 2021, the Hornets narrowly defeated the Pacers, and Lamelo exploded with 31 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, including 7 of 9 three-pointers, setting a career high. Meanwhile, At the age of 20 and 59 days, Lamelo became the youngest player to cut at least 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first game of the season. Yesterday, the Hornets beat the Pacers 158-126, Lamelo played 36 minutes, the offense was efficient, 11 of 16 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 29 points, at the same time, he also got 10 rebounds and 13 assists, it is Lamelo's excellent control, allowing the Hornets to win easily.
Commenting on his love, Hornets coach Borrego said: "Winning the best of the year is the best affirmation for Lamelo, but this award is more of a reflection of the growth and construction of the team. "Everyone at the Hornets agrees: La Mello makes the team higher ranked, he brings spirit, joy and passion for winning to the team, he can push the team to get better and pursue bigger goals. Everyone recognized his talent and was infected by his selflessness.
Lamelo once scored 92 points in a single game in high school games, but did not accept the experience of college basketball, but accepted professional games as early as possible in the Australian and Lithuanian leagues, perfecting the shortcomings of his shooting and finishing skills that existed before he was like his big brother, which became his natural advantage before entering the NBA.
Commanders on the pitch need to have insight into the big picture and complete the handling of key balls. We like to refer to the passing route that neither the viewer nor the camera can see as the God perspective. Paul or Jokic often had such a performance. But in fact, it is not so magical, the player's talent accounts for a part, it may be just a tactical coordination. Basketball is essentially a game of space creation, and all tactics are based on the use and possession of space. Some of Lamelo's passes are full of open feelings. After reading it, you want to dial the timeline back and re-watch it a few times. Trying to figure out exactly how he saw the passing route.
These passes, with the awareness and skill contained in them, elegance and chic, are what makes us love La Mello the most.
His dunk partner Bridges said: "This kid can see everything that's going on the pitch, you just run, he can find a way to get the ball into your hands, you don't have to worry about him." ”
Manager Borrego feels he is more like Ginobili: the boy is as fearless as Manu. They dare to trust their own reading and judgment on the field and make decisions fearlessly. Of course, they are not stunned, they are also trying to integrate their fearlessness into the team's system.
That's why, when the Hornets had two more experienced organizers, Hayward and Rozier, Borrego and his management still decided that the future of the Hornets would be decided by Lamelo, who, in his opinion, had endless talent and needed trust most.
Last season the Hornets fell in the final playoffs, stopping the regular season for 5 consecutive years. And this season, as Lamelo matures further — he can average 19.4 points and 7.6 assists per game , plus oubre, Hayward, Rozier and other elite players , they are likely to return to the playoffs. And then, you can further enjoy Lamelo's performance.
