preface:
There is an old family, such as a treasure. This group of bloody young people of the Nets needs to have an old future who has walked the rivers and lakes for decades, and they have found dragic. Dragic, born in 1986, is now 36 years old, since entering the league in 2008, Dragic has played for 14 years, and now Dragic is a veteran, determined to win the championship, and his Nets role is like Paul to the sun, summed up in one word, stable!
Horse assassins, the first appearance of the sharp edge
Dragic joined the Nets everything seems to be destined, as early as Dragic just entered the league, he is Nash's substitute, and now 14 years later, he has become Nash's player, really very close to Nash. When Dragic was selected by the San Antonio Spurs, he was traded to the Suns by the backhand, and this deal became a permanent pain for the Spurs, who originally had the ability to be the next Parker, but turned out to be Nash Jr. Dragic's fame was obtained when he played the Spurs, and it was twice.
In the 2010 playoffs, because of Dragic, the Spurs once again ate a sweep. In the third game of the Western Conference semifinals, Dragic played his career representative group in the fourth quarter, facing antonio spurs who had been desperately born, and Dragic directly surpassed god in the fourth quarter, shooting 9 of 11 in a single quarter, including all three-pointers, and scored 23 points in a single quarter. A team of spurs level can be broken by a player, and throughout the history of the NBA, it is only Kobe, James, and Westbrook who can perform at this level, but Dragic, who is still in a rookie contract, has done it.
After becoming famous, Dragic briefly left the Suns for a while, that year Dragic joined the Rockets, but in 2012 Nash chose to leave the Suns to join the Lakers, and Dragic resolutely returned to the Suns to make up for the gap in Nash's departure. At that time, Dragic had a perfect season at the Suns, and even won the award of the fastest improving player, but it was still one step away from entering the playoffs, but it was already the most brilliant period of the Suns after Nash left, and Dragic was once known as Little Nash because of his white appearance.
The death of the finals, the missed championship
For Dragic, the biggest pain is undoubtedly the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals two years ago, which is his first time to reach the finals, but if it is because of the inferiority of people to lose the championship, I think many players can accept it, but Dragic suffered a torn plantar fascia in the first game, and could only sit on the bench to watch the finals. Every time the camera sweeps to the bench, Dragic can feel his own helplessness, an NBA player's career chances to reach the Finals are rare, not everyone will be like James 9 times to reach the Finals, but such opportunities were broken in the first game!
In the fourth game of the finals, Dragic trained with the trainer before the game, but the injury of the foot still caused him to be unable to insist on training, which made him still have no chance to play in the fourth game, because this way missed the finals, Dragic also left tears, the boy had tears, but not to the sad place, it can be seen that Dragic is really heartbroken. In Game 6 of the Finals, Dragic chose to return to the court because he understood that the Heat had reached the edge of the cliff, and if this game was lost, the championship would be handed over. However, it was too late to return to the stadium by this time, and the Heat still lost the series by a big score, and Dragic missed the championship.
After the finals defeat, Dragic tried to return to the finals stage, but the Heat sent him to the Toronto Raptors, and Dragic's Heat career ended. In the Raptors Dragic is not part of the team, so was traded to the Spurs, this is where his dream began, Dragic's career began here, but although the Spurs were eliminated, the Spurs still chose to give the player a good place to go, and Dragic bought out, Nash threw an olive branch to his bench, Dragic joined the Nets.
The old Ji Futuo is determined to win the championship
Dragic chose to join the Nets because he always had a championship dream in his heart, and the combination of Durant and Irving also made it easier for them to approach the championship. The Nets need Dragic because their team is the end point of the lack of an organizer, Dragic's mission in the Nets is Paul's task, the team does not need him to score, Durant and Irving can cut 50+ at will, the Nets need Dragic to sort out the team, can let the Nets get rid of the strange circle of personal singles, and Dragic also has the ability to do this, he is a traditional organizational guard, has always been a pass priority.
Of course, Dragic's career has come to this stage, he still wants the championship more, the Nets are probably the most eager to win the game is Dragic, the team also hopes that the veteran will use his spirit to inspire all the players, the Nets are bloody youth, win and lose fast, but Dragic's existence makes them fight for every goal, do not give up any chance to score, in this regard, the Nets have a Dragic-like figure is really quite important. I believe that this year Dragic will create new achievements with the Nets.
epilogue
Veterans are the most eager for championships, and that desire can be contagious to other players. The Nets are talented and capable, but they lack the guy who brought them together, and Dragic happens to be that person. Maybe he's still an All-Star like Paul, but his competitive spirit doesn't lose paul at all, and I hope the Nets can help the veteran realize his dream this year, and what I lost will be taken back myself.
