There are many players named Johnson in the NBA League, in addition to the "magic" Johnson known to fans, the most familiar to fans should be Joe Johnson, who is called "contemporary Jordan" by fans, and the person who can be nicknamed the god of porcelain basketball also fully confirms Joe Johnson's ability.
Joe Johnson was drafted by the Celtics in the first round in 2001 and officially started his NBA career as a scoring guard. Joe Johnson's NBA career is still star-studded, and he has spent most of his 17-year NBA career as a core player of the team. Although Joe Johnson's style of play is not gorgeous, but it is definitely a good-looking gear, although the physical fitness is average, but the ball control and shooting skills are excellent, the top combination of dribbling and throwing ability allows him to hold the ball singles without restrictions, can stand up to people to shoot three points and shoot, and maintain a high singles success rate, so he is jokingly called "singles Joe" by fans, and fans also like to call him "囧囧森" because of the transliteration of his name.
Draft young years, the first bumpy journey into the league
2001 was the NBA's draft year, this year's star appearance rate is not very high, but also gave birth to the history of the famous "parallel goods" Kwame Brown. Joe Johnson comes from the University of Arkansas, a basketball school that has sent multiple players to the NBA, and as the core of the team, he was selected by the Celtics at the tenth place in that year's draft, which was more or less bumpy.
But what Joe Johnson didn't expect was that his NBA rookie season had bigger bumps, and before the rookie season was finished, he was packaged and traded by the Celtics to the Suns, which would indeed feel lost and frustrated for a lotto show. But fortunately, Johnson's ability to adjust is not bad, the rookie season handed over 7.5 points, 3.3 boards and 2.3 assists, the performance is not bad, thanks to the fact that it was a small year of draft, and was selected into the second team of the rookie season that year.
Stand firm and gradually sit firmly in the main force of the team
Joe Johnson began to play steadily in the Sun, the performance is getting better and better, gradually adapting to the NBA field he began to show his first sharp edge, constantly showing his excellent offensive ability and singles ability to hold the ball, playing some amazing performances, and gradually sitting in the team's starting position. In the third season of his career, Johnson, who became the core of the team's outside attack, began his own scoring performance, scoring 20+ in a row in a single season, and the average score per game jumped to 16.7 points per game, which is one of the team's main scorers.
In the 04/05 season, Johnson played 82 games in the season and all of them started, averaging 17.1 points per game became the team's most reliant outside firepower, and also helped the team reach the playoffs again and reach the Western Conference semifinals, and Johnson's performance in the playoffs was equally remarkable, averaging 18.8 points per game.
He became famous and became the King of the Atlanta Eagles
Johnson attracted the attention of many teams in the league, and before the start of the 05/06 season, the Eagles got Johnson by signing first and then changing. At Atlanta, Johnson entered the golden age of his career, became the core of the team, and played the best performance of his career.
After having the tactical right and the right to fire, Johnson's average score per game continued to rise, and the ability to organize the ball was also fully utilized, coming to the Eagles' first season and giving away a career-high average of 6.5 assists per game, and in the 06/07 season, he averaged 25 points, 4.2 boards and 4.4 assists per game, successfully sending himself to the All-Star stage, since then, Johnson has been selected as an All-Star for five consecutive seasons, becoming the most popular defender in the East. Johnson played for the Eagles for 7 seasons, led the team to the playoffs 5 times, and led the team to the second round many times, performing quite well, winning the reputation of "Eagle King", and also won a 100 million yuan contract, becoming "Mr. 100 Million".
Moving to the Nets, it is indispensable to the team's thigh
In the 12/13 season, the Nets got Johnson through a trade, and the 32-year-old Johnson also hopes to make a difference in the Nets, help the team reach the final and even win the championship, and realize his championship dream. At the Nets, Johnson, who is offensively capable, is still the only choice on the team's defensive line, and his double gun of defenders and Deron Williams has also made other teams jealous.
During his time with the Nets, Johnson's scoring was not as easy as when he was in the Eagles, but he played his ability to hold the ball to the extreme, and many times when the team was stuck, he relied on his single ball to stabilize the team's position, and also contributed to many kills. In the playoffs, Johnson became an indispensable thigh for the team, and he has a wealth of playoff experience, and has repeatedly saved the team from danger with excellent singles ability. It was also at the Nets that Johnson played his best playoff performance. In the 13/14 playoffs, Johnson played a career playoff high of 21.2 points per game, but he was eliminated in the second round by the Heat with the "Big Three".
Insist on chasing dreams, and leave many teams for the championship
Johnson, who failed to make a breakthrough in the Nets, was a little discouraged, hoping to go to a championship team to play the residual heat and take a championship ring. Johnson has entered the late career of the Heat, Jazz and Rockets successively joined the Heat, Jazz and Rockets, especially in the Heat and Jazz, Johnson still has a good play, is still an important choice and main force of the team's key moments, his sharp singles and accurate three-pointers are the team's most reliant fire support.
But in these three teams, Johnson still failed to achieve his championship dream. As he grew older, Johnson gradually faded out of the fans' sight. The Pistons briefly signed Johnson before the start of the 19/20 season, but chose to cut him before the season began.
However, the editor should say more that although "Contemporary Jordan" failed to win the championship in the NBA, and even the stage of the finals, the old boy still insisted on his dream, and in 2019, Joe Johnson won the championship in the big3 league and realized his dream of winning the championship.
Overall, Johnson is not a superstar in the NBA, he has his shortcomings, such as general physical fitness, general defense, scoring ability is strong but not explosive enough, career high is only 42 points per game, etc., but his domineering singles, cold-blooded three-pointers, and many "throat-sealing sword" kills will make countless fans remember him. 17 seasons 7 teams averaged 16 points per game, career points more than 20,000 points, 7 All-Stars, 1 Best Team Three, 1 Best of the Month ... Johnson has left his own ink in the NBA memory, fans will remember this "contemporary Jordan". Not everyone is Jordan, but Johnson never gives up on his way to becoming Jordan.
