Josh Smith – nickname: Eagle King, Mid-Ranger, is a physically energetic Brutalist striker who was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the seventeenth overall pick in the first round of 2004, left the league after a brief stop with the Pelicans in 2019, and played in the NBA for only 12 seasons, winning a rookie second team, a best defensive second team, and an All-Star dunk contest title. He is in the NBA's category of people who waste talent, with his overall conditions have a chance to get more success, let's talk about this simple-minded, well-developed but love three-point Smith.

When Smith was still in the Eagles, he often staged tomahawk dunks and chase hats behind his back, and his physical fitness was comparable to James's players.
1. Physical measurement data
Smith's physical measurement data at the time of the draft that year: weight 100 kg, barefoot height 2 meters 01, wearing shoes height 2 meters 04, arm span 2 meters 13 meters, in situ height 2 meters 71, maximum vertical jump 100 cm, 84 kg bench press 12 times, turn back agility test 11 seconds 43. This body data perfectly explains how good his physical fitness is.
2. Young data
Smith's years at the Eagles were normal in both brains and levels, so he also left many young records in the Eagles' nine-year career.
(1): Youngest player to block 10 times in a single game
(2): Youngest players with 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 blocks
Today, you can still see James chasing the cap holder on the field, and Smith once played in this way, but unfortunately, fate created people.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > obviously the inside line is the right way but fell in love with three points</h1>
Perhaps Smith knows the future trend of basketball, but in this era of offense, it is necessary to rely on a large number of three-point shots to win high scores, but he is obviously a little early, and even his own lame projection ability is one of the triggers of his career. Fans must remember that on the night of his debut in the CBA in 2016, he shot only 3 of 13 shots, 5 of 10 hits were three-pointers, only hit 3 dunks, slashed 6 points and 7 rebounds, this statistic is obviously not the level that a foreign aid should have, but he is not an uncomfortable Smith who does not shoot three points.

1. A three-point shot helped Rivers become famous
The Rockets have always had XJBD tactics on the board, and it just so happens that Smith likes to fight chaotically, and the two hit it off, but It is bitter that Rivers, who is known as the king of turnover. On May 14, 2015, the Rockets vs Clippers' G6, at the end of the third quarter, 79-92 trailed the Clippers by 13 points, just when everyone was at a loss, one of McHale's headband help tactics: Terry + Brewer + Ariza + Josh Smith + Terrence Jones, let them blast a 40-15 attack wave in the final quarter to successfully complete the reversal, Smith scored 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the final quarter, and three of the three-pointers directly made Rivers shoot a blank face, only to let him be reversed and then + 1。
2, hairband gang after the chaos of the king
After the Rockets briefly regained their form, the two sides did not continue to work together, and Smith switched to the Clippers, who reversed themselves, only to play 32 games and then sent back to the Rockets. But looking back, he clearly didn't have the same form as he was the year before, from his previous twelve points per game to single digits, and eventually he left his three-point league after four games with the Pelicans in the 17-18 season.
