Some people may think that this is nonsense, and now the call that Alphabet Brother is the first person in the alliance has been very scary, and that it has not been picked up? Indeed, if you just look at the current environment, Alphabet Brother can indeed be said to have been praised to a certain height by the majority of fans and media. But you know, the Alliance is now pursuing a star-making culture. As was customary, when the older generation of stars quit, a new handle would appear. The influence of James and Bryant in the same period was much greater than that of the current alphabet brother. Is it that the alphabet brother is not expressive enough at this stage? Not enough to be the best person in the league's mind?
In fact, the current average data of Alphabet Brother is 29.9 + 11.6 + 5.8, and since 16 years later, he has basically maintained such a terrible data, and every year is evolving. I improved my footwork, improved my shooting, optimized my speed, and even learned a lot of organizational skills. As a heavy forward positioned as an offense, Alphabet Brother learned almost everything he could learn. In other words, it is almost impossible for the alphabet brother to have a situation where the data is not good and the ability is not good. So why doesn't the alliance focus on promoting alphabet brothers?
There are three reasons, first, the commercial value of the alphabet brother itself is relatively low. To put it mildly, Brother Alphabet's operation of his own image is obviously lower than that of other superstars. This is a very normal thing, the alphabet brother was originally born poor, basketball is a living thing for him, is a way out of poverty. For most middle-class stars, basketball is used for fame and fortune, so they will pay more attention to their own image. Of course, this also involves the player's perception of basketball, and some people think that basketball should be pure, so they rarely behave commercially. For example, Durant, alphabet brother. And many superstars have the ultimate goal of monetization, so they will pay more attention to business. Like James, Kobe Bryant, and so on. Different cognitions bring different results, and we do not judge the merits or disadvantages.
The second is the identity of the alphabet brother. The NBA is essentially positioned in the Americas, so what they want is definitely players from the Americas. Of course, they have been saying that the NBA needs to be internationalized, but if they really want to hold it up, they still won't choose the alphabet brother. Some people may say, then choose a superstar of the same level at about the same time, is not enough? It's not that simple. Because at this stage, there are two superstars of this level: Jokic and Alphabet Brother. Coincidentally, both are overseas players. So that's a lot of embarrassment for the league. They are still a little reluctant to let a foreign aid as a façade for their own alliance.
The third reason is that the place where the alphabet brother himself is located is not suitable for large-scale publicity. Milwaukee is a poor area in the United States, where the market is small and the commercial value is relatively low. James really appeared as a league facade player, also after joining the Heat. If the alphabet brother wants to reflect his commercial value in such a place, the best way is to go to other big cities to gild. But Brother Alphabet himself said that he didn't want to leave this team, which became a dead end. This commercial value determines that the alliance will not take this place as the first choice. (In fact, the Nuggets are also, if Doncic can grow to this stage, the league should focus on consideration, because now dallas has a good economy, and Doncic's commercial value is very large, and it can bring a lot of income to the alliance for promotion, but it is still too young.) ）
The above three points are non-technical factors considered by the alliance, which is what we call external factors. To be a fully goal player, personal honors, stats, technology, these have to be tough enough. Honor this needless to say, MVP, overall champion, these letter brothers have. It's just data and technology, which is still controversial, which is also an internal factor that limits his ascension to the throne. If you wait until one day, you see that the media is promoting these two abilities of Brother Alphabet, then you will basically enter the invincible field.
Let's start with the alphabet brother's data. If you're just watching the regular season, or just watching the playoffs, that's fine. Because the alphabet brother is the cornerstone of the team, all the tactics are also developed around the alphabet brother. The ball is in hand, as a good offensive player, naturally has a good data output. But if you associate the regular season with the playoffs, you'll find that Alphabet Brother is driving backwards. As we said before, the playoffs are a stage to test the quality of superstars. The intensity and timing of the playoffs are full, and if a player can evolve, that's an incalculable player. If a player regresses, it means that he can't adapt to the intensity of the playoffs, and the appearance of individual ability is an element with team blessing.
Alphabet Brother officially entered the peak after the 16th season, and we will use this time period as a comparison. In these 6 seasons, alphabet brother entered the playoffs and regular season data comparison. In the playoffs, Brother Alphabet averaged only one more shot per game than in the regular season, but all his basic stats were down. His three-point shooting percentage, overall shooting percentage, and free throw shooting percentage are all lower than in the regular season. At the same time, his assist rate dropped by 2.6 and his efficiency value also dropped by 2.0. In other words, Brother Alphabet not only did not fully play well on the offensive end, but also improved his ability to respond and drive to his teammates.
Why does the alphabet brother have such an ugly change? The reason is very simple, the alphabet brother in response to targeted defense to make a change of tactics in fact, is particularly small. In the playoffs, all teams play targeted defense. Everyone knows what your weaknesses are this season, and everyone knows what you need to score. So at this stage, you have to come up with something you can't see in the regular season to break the army. In this case, the alphabet brother has not been able to come up with too many tricks. This is also an important reason why he has been practicing shooting hard in the later stages. At present, in the technical shortcomings, only shooting can bring a huge improvement to the alphabet brother, and it is also the easiest to produce results. Everyone knows that once the alphabet brother's shooting tends to be stable, the game basically does not have to watch.
External reasons, the letter brother himself can not completely solve. Internal causes, you can rely on yourself a little bit of grinding, polish yourself well, you can be completely liberated. Both problems are solved, and Alphabet Brother is basically the first person in the alliance, and is the undisputed first person.
