At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the national team men's basketball team and the Us men's basketball team were divided into a group, and this year Li Gen was the most confrontational small forward in China, and the fans nicknamed "LeBron-Root"! He had excellent explosiveness and movement speed, and was the strongest small forward player in the national team men's basketball team at that time! However, when he faced Thompson's defense at the peak, Li Gen could not send strength at all, and Thompson directly prevented Li Gen from having to pass the ball out!
At that time, many fans thought that Li Gen's confrontation ability was just like this, but it was not difficult to compare carefully and find that the players who could prevent Thompson in the NBA League so far had not yet appeared! In fact, don't talk about Lee Gen, it is James' one-on-one singles that are also difficult to bump into Thompson!
Chris Paul has always been known for breaking through the rhythm! He's not the kind of player who breaks through to the end, he reads the defensive position of the defender during the march, and then looks for scoring opportunities through physical confrontation!
However, when Thompson misplaced the defense of Chris Paul, Paul could not beat Thompson with a quick change of direction, Thompson was 15 centimeters taller than him, and his footsteps moved more than Paul, and he was faster! However, after Paul changed direction and couldn't get rid of Thompson, he actually used his body to find a confrontation with Thompson, but the next second he was directly covered by Thompson!
Jokic's power fight belongs to the top level of the NBA! But once when Jokic singled Thompson on his back, he hit Thompson twice, but Thompson's feet did not move, and he could not move Thompson at all! A good center can't knock a point guard, and many people at the time thought that Jokic was fat to knock Thompson, and still only a few fans admitted that Thompson's defensive ability was really strong!
Alphabet Brother is 211 cm tall and once had a bench press strength of up to 160 kg! However, when playing Thompson one-on-one, the alphabet brother knew that Thompson's feet were moving fast and could not break through him at all, so the alphabet brother began to use the back technology to hit Thompson, when the alphabet brother knocked Thompson away less than half a meter away, but Thompson immediately returned to the front of the alphabet brother, and then directly gave the alphabet brother who was 13 centimeters taller than himself a big hat!
Alphabet Brother and Jokic have both suffered losses when singles against Thompson, so does the NBA league have players who can hit Thompson one-on-one? Looking at the Warriors' 2015-2019 NBA season, it is not difficult to find that there are really very few players who can really single Thompson one-on-one easily, and the reason for this is not how talented Thompson is, but that few players in the NBA will practice their strength to the best, because too much strength will also affect the flexibility of players, and power confrontation is becoming more and more rare in the current fast-paced NBA league! It just so happened that Thompson could reach the league cap without much deliberate training in strength, and he put all his energy into shooting and breaking direction, which made him high!
Thompson has won three championships in his career, but teammate Curry is far more famous than Thompson! You know, Thompson's role in the Warriors is far stronger than Curry's! Thompson can defend from the No. 1 position all the way to the No. 5 position, and as a shooting guard, such an ability is probably very rare in NBA history! #NBA #
