Chapter 904 (2/2)
It turns out that height is not the most important factor restricting a player to play No. 5 in this era.
As long as you are strong enough, you can also play in the center position.
What's more, link's height disadvantage will not be magnified too much in the face of eagles.
The Hawks' two insiders, Paul Millsap and Al hofford, also belong to the ”short inside” category.
Millsap is no different from link in height, only 2.03 meters. At the beginning, because of his short height and slow traverse speed, he fell into the second round of
as a result, he was definitely one of the best four positions in the active service. The height of 2.03 meters did not limit him to be an all star last season.Al hofford was on the show in 2007, while Auden, who also played as a center but was 2.13 meters tall, became the No.1 player of the same year.
When he was in college, Auden broke the inside line of the University of Florida with one hand.
At that time, the University of Florida's inside line combination was hofford + Noah. His height problem was completely exposed in that game.
Hofford's official height is 2.08 meters, but if you carefully observe his photos with other stars, you will find that his real height may be about 2.06 meters.
But whether it's 2.06 meters or 2.08 meters, it's not much higher than link.
The Hawks, with the exception of reserve center Payne Antioch, are all short inside.
But andic is tall, but not strong enough and low attack skills. It's not a big problem for link to defend him.
That's why Joel dared to ask link to try position five.
In the face of the hawk's short interior, link may really be able to play an unexpected effect.
In the afternoon's training, link's performance in position five was very good.
Originally link's back body technique is very good, but once swayed under the basket Howard's existence.
In addition to the speed, shooting and passing ability that the traditional No. 5 players don't have, link can play center with ease.
But the lineup was so subversive that assistant coach Quinn Snyder couldn't believe it.
”Are you sure that such a squad can play a role in tomorrow's game? Even if it's just the second team, it's crazy
”Times have changed, Quine. In the past, we would have been killed if we lined up like this. But now, I don't think there's a problem with that. ”
Joel is not a stereotypical coach. Most importantly, he believes that link has the ability.
After his afternoon's training, link felt good himself.
Although it was the first time to play the fifth position seriously, he quickly adapted to it.
Now, wait for the Atlanta eagles to come.
That night, link watched ESPN's tomorrow's look ahead program.
The competition between grizzly bear and eagle is naturally the focus of attention.
In the program, Stephen A. Smith gives an analysis to the eagle.
What? They can all stand up and score.
Team basketball keeps the Hawks shooting high.
The scoring ability outside the three-point line is the top of the league, and so on.
The final conclusion is, ”the Hawks are a team with few short boards, they don't have any problems.”
But a few seconds later, Stephen A. Smith, who is rich in watches, added, ”the only problem with eagles is that they're going to meet link at the top.”
Link looks at the show and smiles.
