There's a player who ranks 4th in scoring, 2nd in rebounds, 2nd in steals, 3rd in blocks, and 5th in three-point shooting. But people always talk about his shooting posture, and this player's shooting posture is more special, not a standard shot but a three-eight shooting biased towards the women's basketball team. He's former Sun star Sean Marion, who is a very good player with good attacks and defenses. In 2011, the Mavericks won the NBA championship. Marion set several team records while playing for the Suns. In a recent interview, Marion said: "People seem to remember only my shooting posture, not my contributions and efforts on the court. In the Suns I have always had several records in the top 5.
Marion is indeed a good player. He has very good physical fitness. He's good at fighting, he can run and jump, and he has this terrible physical strength. Marion averaged nearly 35 minutes of playing time in his career, with several seasons playing more than 37 minutes in early parts of his career, and even more than 40 minutes in a single season. When he first entered the league, many people were not very optimistic about this player with odd shooting, but as time progressed, Marion quickly found his form and got on the right track. In particular, in the 2005-06 season, Marion averaged nearly 21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. Marion flew at his peak and was particularly adept at interior finishing and counter-attacking. He and Nash complemented each other at the time, and Nash's pass was as stable and efficient as a cruise missile, and Marion only had to run to the position to easily throw the ball in.
Of course, Marion will never score more than 20 points just by finishing and running back. His technique is greatly underestimated, such as Marion's very good hand work near the low post, and his throwing hookers are a certain threat. His shooting style is indeed often talked about, and once he is allowed to catch the ball and shoot or shoot in the open position, Marion has a pretty good shooting rate.
Let's take a look at this set of data. Marion's career average three-point shooting average is 33 percent and his average is 0.7 shots per game. In his third season, Marion's three-point shooting rate was close to 40%, and many NBA players could not shoot nearly 40% of the shooting rate in their entire careers. Many people say that Marion's three-pointer type is not good, but he can score, in fact, we should pay attention to Marion's contribution on the field rather than hand type.
In addition to the offensive performance, Marion's defense is even more impressive. Although he has not been selected for the best defensive team so far, Marion's defense is very comprehensive, and in that era Marion had no problems from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position. Sometimes you can play a dozen small balls in the No. 5 position, and now in this era, if there is a good player like Marion, that team really makes a lot of money. Can defend can attack can end, and Marion is not very hungry for the ball, he only needs to play without the ball to maintain a high offensive efficiency. Who doesn't like this kind of player?
Finally, we have to mention one point - shooting, in fact, many players have a strange shooting posture. In the NBA, there are two main types of shooting, either the shooting speed is fast, making it difficult for opponents to interfere. Or it is strong anti-interference ability, Marion actually belongs to the former, his fast shooting posture makes the opponent invincible. No matter what a player's shooting posture is, as long as he can shoot, it is excellent. Readers, what do you think?
