A phrase was mentioned the other day, today I explain:
Anthony Davis is the most powerful player in college basketball history.
Ross is a freshman, and the team reached the final but lost; Auden was a freshman who defeated the best player in the annual title defense but lost to the final; Melon is a freshman who won the NCAA championship and made the best player into the NCAA Championship Game; Durant hit scary stats to sweep the freshman of the year's best player.
Davis is a grand, comprehensive expanded version of all of the above.
One of the best high school students in America in 2011.
In the summer of 2012, as a freshman, he won the varsity championship with the University of Kentucky, personally won almost every of the best player awards on the varsity team, and broke the "freshman block record of the year" held by the Sharks.
Gu Long said that the most inevitable thing to walk in the rivers and lakes is the nickname.
The first nickname in Davis' life was "Fat Boy." Why: In March 1993, he was born in Chicago weighing 8 pounds, while his sister was born weighing 6 pounds. The nickname turned into a curse: in his freshman year, he reached a height of 208 centimeters and weighed 100 kilograms.
Subsequently, the University of Kentucky gave Anthony Davis two nicknames: one was "Spider-Man" and the other was Ant, of course, this is related to the name "Anthony", but it also reflects another side of him.
As a freshman in high school, Anthony Davis was 183 centimeters tall. At the beginning of his second year of high school, he grew a little taller, reaching 185 cm, and by the third year of high school, he reached 193 cm tall.
Then something terrible happened: in his final year of high school, he had reached a height of 208 centimeters.
Previously, he was "Anthony Davis who shot three-pointers in the bottom corner." After this devastating development, he has become a true great.
Similar stories have happened before in basketball: Marcus Canby grew from 188 cm to 208 cm in high school, David Robinson was 198 cm tall as a freshman and 216 cm tall when he graduated.
But in the words of coach Kurt Haller, Davis' magic lies in:
"He never lost his coordination by growing taller, he still did what he used to do: pass, shoot, dribble – he just grew taller!"
In his senior year before he became famous, a Chicago coach introduced him to Coach Calipari at the University of Kentucky.
On the phone, Kalipari heard this series of nervous and trembling voices:
"We have a 17-year-old kid here, a 188cm defender who has grown 20cm taller in a year, he will be a great player, no one knows about him yet!"
— Calipari went to meet Davis and then texted Marcus Camby, a 1996 NBA pick and 2007 NBA Defensive Player of the Year:
"I found another you - but unlike you, he can shoot."
208 cm, wingspan 223 cm.
He completed more than 115 blocks in his first 24 games of freshman year, breaking the Sharks' freshman block record. He blocked 12 times in his first two college games; In two games in the NCAA Final Four, he grabbed 30 rebounds and blocked 11 times.
In addition to his height, arm length, and incredible two-jump ability, his secret sauce is "block timing."
"I don't know where it came from, but I have the ability."
Davis covers crowds like Spider-Man and works tirelessly like ants, and he believes capping is an art. He immersed himself in Thunder Ibaka's caps, "He always covers guys who are good at dodging blocks." By his own admission, he loved Kentucky's vs North Carolina in the late winter of 2011: With 1.9 seconds left, North Carolina's Hansen scored on the right flank, and North Carolina trailed 72-73. Hansen scored a goal. With a gunshot, Davis stepped forward, the sound roaring like an airplane taking off, and his raised arm was, in the words of a reporter, "like a clock pointing to one o'clock." The ball fell and Kentucky won 73-72.
Davis likes something like this:
"Key blocking, key play. I was so happy that I jumped up and down. I've never done a killer ball, but it's the first time I've saved a game in my own way. ”
Coach Calipari believes that's what makes Davis so scary. Every time you try to break through the Kentucky interior, you have to see where Davis is and assess if you can escape his Spider-Man fire web.
In the 2012 NCAA Finals, Kansas tried to get Jeff Whitney to take the aerial relay, but the ball thrown three yards away could still be intercepted by Davis — and that's what he liked to "change the game."
Another story: In the 2012 NCAA semifinals, he scored 18 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks on 7-of-8 shooting in the final minute, including 5 dunks. It was rare to break his low-key and quiet eyebrows, and roared heavily:
"This is my stage!"
At the time, scouts said he looked like KG, but there was actually one thing: Davis grew too fast and his body didn't keep up. His lower body, especially the thin one, was empty. If you encounter a heavyweight, fat opponent in an inside confrontation, it is easy to fly with one touch and crush with the second touch. But he retained the rhythm of his high school guard days and, like all "suddenly high" geniuses, he defended from the inside to the basket and from the outside to the three-point line. He has a wide reach, but that doesn't affect his rebounds and blocks.
Spider-Man not only has long arms and legs, but also can cross and fly over the city.
In the words of Coach Calipari, "this kid can play fast and dribble", and not the silly straight luck of the big guy. He "runs faster than some of our defenders" because he has "a big stride."
Then there was the nickname "ant". Initially, the University of Kentucky gave him the nickname as a joke about his name (Anthony), but he was actually as diligent as an ant.
He doesn't need to be seduced like candy like many big guys. "We don't have a center forward, we have a lot of dribbling breakthroughs, so we're all dribbling breakthroughs and jump shots."
He shoots solidly, can make free throws, and has a certain amount of speed, but because he is too thin to fight back, he rarely gets single opportunities in Kentucky's offensive system; But he doesn't care.
In the 2012 NCAA Finals, he scored 6 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks on 1-of-10 shooting in the half, scored 6 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks and 3 steals. He does everything except score: assist, rebound, steal.
He was so good that even their head coach couldn't keep him in college.
After the 2012 championship game, Coach Calipari called him into his office:
"Listen, ants. You have to go. You've done a lot of great things this year. You won the national championship. You won all the awards. You can't go to college anymore. ”
Height, arm length, KG-like defensive range, rebounds and blocks are all superficial, but his freshman career has proven that he is a young man fit for a championship-contendering team.
So:
In 32 minutes of playing time, the rookie averaged 8 shots, 14 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks and shot 62% from the field. All kinds of basic advanced statistics are maximized. It's a solo show.
As a rookie, he led the team directly to the championship. It's an honor for the team.
Wooden Awards, Naismith Awards, Associated Press Awards, Sports News Awards, Defensive Player of the Year Award, etc., he basically won all the annual awards he could get. This is an honorary title.
So he entered the NBA as a top pick after a year in college — and within a year, he got everything he deserved, so why play college basketball?
The most powerful life in history.
Finally, run the query.
Interestingly, with all the awards that year for Davis, only one was missing:
Player of the Year award from the Coaches Association.
The Coaches Association has absolutely no bias against Davis: The Coaches Association's Defensive Player of the Year was awarded to Davis.
But it was the Coaches Association's Player of the Year award, given to another player.
This is a senior forward from Michigan State University. Talent is unmatched by Davis, with rookies averaging just three points per game. Of course, no NBA team was chasing him, and he was already a starter in his junior year. He survived to his senior year of high school and was polished into a hard old ball skin by Michigan coach Izzo.
Coach Izzo said of the player:
"When he came into the team, he didn't look like a basketball player, but he was willing to do anything to win, and he didn't care about personal data at all."
This talent is nowhere near that of freshman Davis, but recognized by the Coaches Association is Michigan State University senior Chasing Green.
