Original title: Antetokounmpo does not understand the ball is absurd, his hunger for basketball knowledge is far more than his peers
Earlier today, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas made a big deal on the show, claiming that Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn’t understand the ball.
Arenas believes, “Brother Antetokounmpo is not even close to his best level. He doesn’t understand the ball yet, and he doesn’t even know how to become stronger.”
You know, this is not the first time that “Agent Zero” has targeted Brother Antetokounmpo. As early as two years ago, he also commented on Brother Antetokounmpo with some exaggerated arguments, claiming that the letter is only James Harden in the East, and will only A style of play that he still has to learn about how to play.
Arenas has been talking about Brother Antetokounmpo, and he may be suspected of deliberately attracting attention and stealing traffic. But it is somewhat irresponsible to say “Brother Antetokounmpo doesn’t understand basketball”, no matter what the purpose is. Of course, from Arenas’ words, what people perceive is not all mockery and disdain for letters. Perhaps, the reason why Arenas said this also means to urge the letters to continue to become stronger.
Looking back at Giannis Antetokounmpo’s basketball career, “getting stronger” is the main line of his evolution. People may not forget how underrated Antetokounmpo was when he entered the league in 2013. At that time, the letter was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 15th overall pick in the first round. Many people did not understand why the Bucks chose such a young man with such a long name and can’t speak English well.
At that time, in the American basketball circle, almost no one was optimistic about the prospects of Antetokounmpo. Some senior people also one-sidedly believed that Antetokounmpo was rough in technique and thin, and could not adapt to the high-intensity and high-level confrontation of the league.
But later, the facts proved how wrong the “authoritative predictions” of these so-called experts were. In the rookie season, Antetokounmpo was not at a loss under the coercion of surprise, helplessness, loneliness and other complex emotions. Almost from the first time he entered the NBA, he has been immersed in the training ground and has become a recognized training madman in the circle. A famous joke is that in the rookie season, Antetokounmpo even chose to sleep directly in the gym in order to save time.
Antetokounmpo’s efforts have also yielded fruitful results. In the Bucks, he grew from an unknown supporting role to the most improved player of the season, and later became the leader of the Bucks. Now, 9 years have passed, Antetokounmpo has been selected to the All-Star 6 times, the All-NBA Team 6 times, the All-Defensive Team 5 times, the regular season MVP 2 times, and the Defensive Player of the Year 1 time.
In addition, in 2021, Antetokounmpo also successfully led the team to win the championship and won the finals MVP, pushing his basketball career to the top.
An indisputable fact is that compared to most well-qualified American players, Antetokounmpo’s basketball career started relatively slowly, and his basic skills are not outstanding among active players. However, after entering the NBA, Alphabet gradually made up for technical deficiencies through hard training far beyond ordinary people. Among the stars of the same age, the letter is almost the one who spends the most time and energy in basketball.
Antetokounmpo’s eagerness to learn basketball knowledge is also deeply reflected in actual combat performance and data output. For example, it took Alphabet four years to establish himself as the top rebounder in the league, and in the 2017-18 season, his rebounds per game crossed the 10 mark for the first time, and he hasn’t dropped double digits since.
For example, Antetokounmpo averaged 20+ points per game in the third season of his career (2015-16 season), and since then, he has been among the top scorers in the league. Today, no one dares to underestimate his scoring ability. In terms of assists, shots, and offensive coordination, the letters are also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the past four years, he has averaged more than 5.6 assists per game; in the past two years, he has gradually developed a stable shooting range, and his mid-to-long-distance shots have become more smoothly linked, and there is almost no stutter at the beginning of his career.
Last season, Giannis Antetokounmpo improved his free-throw moves, compressing the long preparation time before his shot, and as his various skills become more and more perfect, now, there are very few faults in him that can be blamed. And the so-called Antetokounmpo “doesn’t understand the ball yet” is obviously untenable in the face of this series of facts… (Poirot)Return to Sohu, see more
