Bosh is a very interesting person, he often does not smile on the field, but he will talk about the taste of clothing off the field; He would wear a T-shirt and shorts to take a large photo shoot for the American men's magazine Maxim, and he would also lie on the high-end sofa at home, holding a large pot of fruit and talking to you about how to take his sister. That was true before, and it is true now. The only difference is that the number one scorer in Toronto history was scolded as a "soft egg", "traitor" and "overrated" on his back when he went to Miami. Shaquil. O'Neill's first act as a commentator was to exclude Bosh from the ranks of the Miami giants. It may be true that, judging by the performances of his first season in Miami, Bosh was indeed very intimidated, but this is not the truth.
The word "sacrifice" has been used throughout Bosh's 2010-11 season. "If you want to win something, you first have to learn to sacrifice," he said, "I know that everyone will say they are ready to sacrifice when they chase victory, but only when things really happen and the difficulties are in front of you do you know what you are facing." So what did Bosh face? Stan, who was the Magic coach at the time. Van Gundy mocked him as a "pug"; NBA star Scott. Pippen said of the Miami superstar duo as "two and a half good guys." What's more, whenever the Heat win, we see Wade and James hugging and crying the most, and Bosh is like a "little third child" who hides in a corner and watches his lover and his original partner make love, and whenever the team does not play well, Bosh will be blamed like a third party who destroys other people's families.
"Usually, when people want to tease someone, they have to find the least talkative one." After signing Miami on a six-year, $110 million contract in 2010, that's all that's on Bosh's ears. However, the so-called "taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people" is Bosh's fate. The statistics of the overall shrinkage in the heat's first season have always been the place where Bosh has been criticized. But there is a saying called "seeing the essence through the phenomenon", what is hidden behind those boring data?
In terms of "winning efficiency", statistics per game and "offensive participation rate", Bosh is behind James and Wade. There seems to be no doubt about O'Neill's remarks. But imagine that when one of your teammates is one of the best players in the NBA and another teammate is a candidate for the first team all year round, it's hard to be in the same position on the team as them. However, Bosh's salary is $14.5 million a year and LeBron and Wade are in the same price position as Wade, which also gives fans the same expectations of him as the other two. Of the players who played at least 1,000 minutes for the Heat in 2010-11, Bosh was paid far more than he contributed on the court. For example, bosh needs a salary to bring a win to the team is James. Jones is six times as many, but if there is a team that is only keen on hiring "low-paid, high-energy" players, then it is obviously stupid. 15 James. Jones can't help you make the playoffs, and the Finals are even more delusional. Every championship team needs high-output players, and unless they're on a rookie contract, this bizarre "ideal model" is simply not possible. So instead of pushing Bosh to the same heights as James and Wade, let's consider another important question: Does he deserve the salary? Of course, in terms of their respective talents, the salaries of James and Wade, who are willing to cut their salaries, obviously do not match their strength, so it is not fair to compare the "contribution rate per unit of dollars" of the three. However, if you expand the scope of comparison, it is not difficult to see the value of Bosh.
In the "annual salary/win efficiency ratio" offered by the 30 players with the highest annual salary in the NBA that year, Bosh ranked seventh. This means that he has contributed more to his unit salary than Kobe, Anthony and even Nowitzki, who shattered their 2011 championship dreams. There are 15 players in this list who get more money than Bosh, but the "winning efficiency value" is not as good as Bosh, and there are also many Delong. Stars like Williams, while some are typical of large-scale garbage contracts, such as Rashad. Lewis.
Obviously, Bosh wasn't James, nor was he Wade. Before the formation of the Miami Brothers Company, Bosh was not as eye-catching as James and Wade, and could not compete with them until retirement. But look at the rest of the league, and in any case, Bosh played at a high level and took the salary he deserved. In other words, although Bosh has an annual salary of more than 10 million, it is still a stable investment for the Heat, not to mention that he has the core level of talent of the team and deserves a place in the "Big Three". You know, the whole east of that year was only magic Dwight. Howard and Knicks Amar. Stoudemire can outperform him in both scoring and rebounding statistics per game.
"I know I'm not the most popular player," Bosh said, "I just want to focus on playing good basketball, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win."
Yes, in a spectacle and tactical sense, Bosh's value is obviously not equal to these data, but in fact, Bosh's data has "deceived" everyone to some extent. So, even though he's not a James or Wade star, he's still one of the best basketball players in the world. The most critical reason is that Bosh knows that playing with James and Wade will be under a lot of pressure, and he has been adjusting himself. On the day of the fan meeting, he did not show the same aura as LeBron and Dwyane, and the Miami Herald reporter Bart de recalled, "It is estimated that many people can see that although the three of them stand on the same stage, Bosh is not worth as much as the other two." ”
Bosh did not comment on this, but he admitted that every time he played a bad game and felt inefficient, frustration quickly came to mind. During his time with the Heat, Bosh approached head coach Spollstra several times to discuss how to position himself. For eight months, Bosh had been searching for answers. Bosh also admitted that he did not have as close a relationship with James as he did with Wade, and that they had no more contact than playing together at the Beijing Olympics before becoming teammates. "But no matter who you are with, you can only really understand each other if you experience setbacks together." Bosh said. At one point, he also asked the retired celebrities how they could adapt to their new roles as soon as possible, Horace, who had worked under the aura of Jordan and Pippen. Grant is one of them. 'It's really not easy to accept, but when you put the team's victory in the first place, all the contradictions are no longer a problem. For the junior's inquiry, Grant, who holds four championship rings, gave the answer.
Bosh apparently took inspiration from his predecessors as well. In order to avoid some negative things affecting him, he asked his friends not to take bad things in front of him and keep a distance from all the negative news, or not to appear in his life at all. For example, if you go to Google and search for "Avatar" and Bosh's name, you will come up with a lot of related pages, because fans think Bosh looks like a character in a movie. When knights' live announcer described Bosh as a resembling a famous transgender star during the livestream, Bosh laughed it off, and he even started putting up small videos of selfies on video sites (like all-star canvassing) to build confidence for himself in a self-deprecating way.
"It still seems funny, and one of the things I have to go through is that all the people around me are asking me boring questions, but I have to get used to it. They'll ask , 'Did you know this was going to happen?' I said, 'I really don't care about these things.' "Indeed, these things are simply insignificant compared to the championship dream." As he grows older and mentally, Bosh has realized that he can't be a youth idol like James and Wade in his life, and his purpose is to win the championship and make his career end beautifully. Of course, Bosh's goal was achieved, although his retirement seemed strange: the injury to his lower leg caused blood clots in his lungs, a way that is unique in the NBA. But Bosh had no regrets the moment he took off his Heat jersey, because he gave his all for the championship.
