On April 24, Beijing time, Paul and Delong, the careers of these two players have left a strong mark in the history of the NBA. They also showed their talent on the court as point guards, but why was Paul still active in the ring later in his career, while Delon had been retired for years?
First of all, we need to understand that every player's career is different, and they face different challenges, opportunities and physical conditions. Although Delon and Paul are both point guards, their playing styles, technical characteristics and physical conditions are different.
Deron Williams is known in the league for his strong physique, excellent dribbling skills, and accurate jump shots. His style of play leans towards aggression and is adept at using his body to score under the basket. However, this style of play also puts a huge burden on his body. The long period of high-intensity physical confrontation and frequent jumps in the competition put Delon under tremendous pressure on his knees and ankles. As he grew older, his body gradually became unable to bear this burden, which also became a bottleneck in his career.
In contrast, Paul's style of play is more well-rounded and balanced. He was able to control the tempo and organise an effective attack, but he was also able to step up in key moments and use his scoring ability to help his team win. Paul's technique is very delicate, and his dribbling, passing, and shooting are at an extremely high level. In addition, Paul has a strong focus on physical care and training, which has allowed him to maintain his excellent performance later in his career.
In addition to the style of play and physical condition, a player's career is influenced by many other factors. For example, the team's tactical system, the role positioning of the players, the injury situation, etc. DeLong suffered a series of injuries late in his career, which greatly affected his performance on the field. Paul, on the other hand, was lucky, having spent most of his career in a healthy state.
In addition, the mentality and pursuit of players are also important factors that affect their careers. Deron may not have been as passionate about the game later in his career as he was when he was younger, which may have been one reason why he chose to retire. Paul, on the other hand, has always maintained his love and pursuit of the game, and his desire to continue to show his talent on the field has become the motivation for him to keep playing.
To sum up, the reason why Paul and Delon's careers are so different is due to a variety of factors. Playing style, physical condition, injuries, mentality and pursuits, etc., all of these factors determine the direction and development of a player's career. Although Delon has been retired for many years, his footprints and contributions in NBA history will always be remembered. And Paul is still active on the field, and he writes his own legend with his own hard work and hard work. Whatever the future holds, we will look forward to these two players continuing to create more excitement and brilliance in the basketball world.
