If it weren't for the soaring height as a child, which affected the flexibility and speed of the body, maybe there would be a lack of professional players in basketball, but maybe there would be a German star in tennis. After all, Nowitzki, 12 years old, 1990 German youth tennis champion, but there is no way. Nowitzki can only follow the advice of his family and choose basketball that he was not interested in before. However, it seems that God prefers Nowitzki to play basketball. Nowitzki, the king who just came into contact with basketball, showed his top basketball talent. By the age of 16, Nowitzki's height has exceeded 2 meters, and he has been favored by German men's basketball coach holden. Later, he was selected by the Bucks in the draft of 1998, but it was traded to Nowitzki, who had not yet put on the Bucks' shirt.
The ninth pick, now it seems that this draft is too low. If you can choose again, Nowitzki will undoubtedly be the best candidate for the No.1 draft in 1998, but as a completely unfamiliar German player at that time, this overall draft right is still very consistent. However, if Nowitzki enters the league in this era, according to his shooting ability and playing style, it may be more acceptable to everyone. However, in the NBA of 1998, the inside player has to fight hand-to-hand in the inside and return to singles in an orderly way to be a qualified inside player. Nowitzki's biased shooting style, poor antagonism, soft play, coupled with the identity of foreign players, made him questioned, criticized, regarded as different and even insulted by many American players and fans in his rookie season.
This period, the darkest period of Nowitzki's career, was accused and questioned by a soft egg. Because he can't adapt to the rhythm and confrontation of NBA games, he can only contribute 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 20.4 minutes per game, and he often makes mistakes at key moments of the game. This kind of performance seems to make Nowitzki win back the title of soft egg. As an outsider, I don't know what King Norodom was thinking at that time. Have you ever thought about giving up?
Nowitzki didn't choose to give up himself. Nelson, as Nowitzki's mentor, didn't choose to give up this young player who he regarded as the future core of the team. In the second season, Nowitzki, whose playing time and ball possession have increased, did not let the teacher down. Average 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, ranking second in the selection of players with the fastest promotion, and in the third season. Nowitzki became the first player to enter the best team of the season since the establishment of the lone ranger team with an average of 2 1.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. However, even though he became a young superstar in Ran Ran, was selected as an All-Star and the best team, and was named as one of the four forwards, he was still one of the main targets questioned and ridiculed by the league at that time.
After becoming a superstar, few people questioned Nowitzki's style and style of play, but they began to question his ability to lead the team and his dominance at critical moments. Especially in the 2006 finals, Wade staged a shocking reversal and became a stepping stone to Wade's position. After being staged by the Warriors in the 2007 playoffs, Nowitzki was nailed to the shame column. Once, the world criticized and questioned Nowitzki countless times. The MVP trophy in the regular season seems to bring him more shame than honor, but just like the rookie season, Nowitzki did not choose to defend himself or even question the referee's decision in the game. Instead, he chose to devote more energy to training and competition, because he knew that only winning the championship could wash away his stigma.
Since the end of the 2006 finals, Nowitzki has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself. Facts have proved that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Nowitzki, who has been waiting for five years, finally defeated the Blazers in the10-1season, swept the defending champion Lakers, and defeated the young Thunder 3-less 4- 1. Wade humiliated him in 2006, but contrary to that year, the lone ranger dominated in 2006. 1 1 Before the finals began, almost all experts and media were more optimistic that the Big Three and the more powerful Heat would win the championship. After all, the lone ranger at that time, except Nowitzki, most players either fell from the peak or were 30-year-old men at the end of the peak. The first two games seem to confirm, but just like coach Tom Janovich's famous saying, don't underestimate the champion heart of the lone ranger veteran, and don't underestimate Nowitzki's heart that wants revenge and wants to prove himself, just like the replica of the 2006 finals, only this time it is German king Nowitzki who laughs last.
Single core led the team to win the championship trophy from the age of 20 to 33. Nowitzki worked hard for 13, struggled for 13, and endured for 13. Finally, he got rid of his doubts and accusations, overturned all kinds of injustices, proved his greatness, and finally got him. His career seems to have no regrets, but he has not relaxed his demands on himself. He is still the hardest-working player in the league, demanding that his efforts will eventually pay off. 19 offseason, 4 1 year-old Nuowang chose to end his career and announced his retirement. Novak has also become the best power forward, the best foreign player and a legendary superstar in the history of the league.
