Hello everyone! I am a liberal arts student interested in sports.
There is never a shortage of talent in the NBA. Good talent starts from a high level. This has always been the rule of this league and this world. However, the way of God reincarnates, and some people with average talent can also subvert the world. 1. Beverley - "Mad Dog" Defense
Beverley was selected by the Lakers with the 42nd overall pick in the second round of 2009, but with a height of 1.85 meters, poor physical condition and mediocre talent, he did not After being reused, Beverley was abandoned and wandered overseas for many years. During this period, he played for national teams such as Ukraine, Greece, and Russia. Until the Rockets re-signed him in 2013, and Jeremy Lin was injured at this time, Beverley Successfully promoted;
Beverley cherished this hard-won opportunity and tried his best to defend the game. After years of experience and unremitting efforts, his average points per game increased from 5.6 points to 5.6 points per game. With 12.6 points, he successfully established himself in the team's rotation and gradually became the team's main force. He was also selected to the best defensive second team in the 2013-14 season with his desperate defense! Since then, he has become famous in the league for his strong defensive ability!
Beverley is a very inspirational player. He has made a lot of sacrifices from wandering overseas to being the league's top defensive player, from a basic salary to a current high salary. Therefore, Beverley, who has average talent, has With his desperate defensive ability to gain a foothold in the NBA, he is undoubtedly the best answer to this question. 2. JJ Redick - top shooter
JJ Redick was selected by the Magic with the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft. He is 1.93 meters tall, thin and has low physical fitness. Such a player is destined not to have a good starting point, but he has made a name for himself with his precise three-pointers;
Redick graduated from Duke University. In the 2005-06 NCAA season, he averaged 10.7 points per game. Scored 26.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists. During his four years in college, he won many basketball awards. Among them, the total points scored and the total number of three-pointers in the university set records in the history of the Duke school. During these four years, he made 100 baskets 450 three-pointers, breaking NCAA personal record! He is also the ACC personal scoring record holder and the NCAA three-point shooting king! After coming to the league, he did not play due to injury in the first season. After that, he did not get a chance. He once had the idea of ????going to the European League, but later his performance improved, and he gradually received attention, especially His three-point shot even impressed the coach. Since then, he has dominated the league with his precise three-pointers! Now 36 years old, he still averages 14.9 points and 45.2 three-point shooting percentage per game. He has provided the Pelicans with considerable outside firepower and experience for the team's young players.
Although Redick, who has average talent but possesses special skills, is not very inspirational, he also explained that talent is not the only criterion, so Redick is also the answer to this question.
Talent is not the only criterion, hard work can achieve the future! Although this sentence is not a famous quote, I still believe that it has value.
The above is my opinion. If there are any shortcomings, please give me your advice.
Let’s make the main point clear at the beginning: Korver’s talent is not outstanding, but he relied on his three-pointers to gain a foothold in the NBA. At his peak, he relied on his three-pointers to be selected as an All-Star. Korver does not have any other skills, his ball control is average, his breakthroughs are ordinary, and his footsteps are not very good. However, he has a historical level of three-point ability and is very stable. This is enough to gain a foothold in the NBA league. He even won the title back then. The best player of the month, his three-point touch has continued to last. No defensive player dares to take it lightly. Korver's talent is mediocre and has no bright spots. His outside shooting makes him a very popular role player.
A shooting textbook. If shooting is considered talent, Korver can be called extremely talented.
His playing style was uneven, and his draft pick was not high, but there was no retreat.
Korver's draft pick was not high, and he was not selected by Brooklyn until the 51st pick. Just by looking at the draft picks, we know that Korver's talent must not be high. No player with extraordinary talent knows that he was selected with the 21st pick in the second round. Korver can only find what he is good at to express and help the team win. He has found his position correctly, which is three-pointers.
At that time, Korver was in an era that was not friendly to three-point shooters. The coach at that time even asked Korver to increase the number of air cuts and mid-range shots to reduce Korver's three-pointers. The shots from outside the line made it difficult for him to adapt to the rhythm of the league, but Korver still maintained his own style and continued to promote the three-pointer.
Not surprisingly, Korver will face the decision to retire in recent years. When this former marksman withers away, we deeply regret it. He is one of the few remaining players from the 2003 golden generation. Wade and Bosh have retired, and Anthony is no longer what he was. Only LeBron is galloping on the battlefield to challenge for the championship, and Korver is no exception, although he is not the core. , but in the Bucks it was destined that his road to the championship would not be extinguished.
Korver’s talent means that he can only be used as a supporting role in the team, but what about role players? There are no super giants or stars in the league. He just needs to do his job well, use his strengths, and develop his three-pointers. Facts have proved that he has done it. No talent? Shooting is the best talent, and Korver has found his position accurately
In fact, shooting is also a talent. Some players are not born to be excellent shooters, while some players have shown outstanding performance since entering the league. Shooting talent. In daily life, we can also see that some basketball enthusiasts have average shooting skills no matter what, while others have become qualified shooters before they have played for a few days. This is a display of shooting talent.
His other talents are at the bottom of the league, but it is his excellent shooting that makes him very popular in the league. During his peak period, many teams wanted to get powerful players. Korver insisted on his Principle, three-pointers are his only way out in the league. Korver is a model shooter, dedicated to his job without asking for anything in return, and plays for his dream in obscurity.
Korver's shooting talent is top-notch in the history of the league.
Korver ranks fourth on the all-time three-point list (2,437 three-pointers made in total). Above him are the three great gods of Ray Allen, Miller and Curry. marksman, let’s take a look at the players below Korver: Harden, Carter, Thompson and other players. It can be seen that Korver's three-point ability is definitely ranked high in history. Korver's three-point shooting percentage remained at 42.9, and almost half of his shots were from beyond the three-point line. (1) Excellent running and three-point ability allow Korver to adapt to any tactical system
A player like Korver is just like Klay Thompson. Although he is not as good as Klay Thompson in various qualities, Korver's off-ball ability is very outstanding. He has a good sense of position. He was an excellent match with James. James' breakthrough ability will definitely attract defenders to cover him. At this time, Korver will actively run. With James' vision and passing accuracy, it is no problem to pass the ball to Korver, and Korver can always find a suitable position to catch the ball and shoot.
Korver is best paired with players like James, Antetokounmpo, peak Howard and Harden.
Korver paired with Antetokounmpo is also a very good choice this season. Although he is not expected to make much contribution to the Bucks, the stability of three-pointers is exactly what the Bucks need.
The 39-year-old Korver still got 16.7 minutes of playing time. To chase points at critical moments, the Bucks may use Korver because Antetokounmpo’s ability to attract double teams can make Korver more comfortable. The three-point shot.
Korver is also averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game this season (88th in the league), with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.5 (12th in the league), an offensive efficiency of 111.8 (54th in the league), and a true shooting percentage of 61.3 ( 49th in the league).
With a three-pointer, Korver can still establish himself in the NBA at the age of 39. It is not easy for Korver. Today’s small ball era requires this kind of shooter. Where can Korver go? Teams can all use their special skills. (2) The team has strong coordination, does not occupy the ball and can be seamlessly connected with any team
Korver can almost be called a "pure shooter". Similar to Klay Thompson, he is an out-and-out 3D player. Although the "D" is not as good as Klay, the "3" is not inferior to Klay. When Korver was with the Hawks, coach Budenholzer was with the Spurs. Under the guidance of Popovich, he created an excellent team system. Korver developed strong teamwork during his time with the Hawks. He was also selected to the All-Star team in the Hawks, relying on his solid three-pointers.
Korver will not dominate the ball because he does not have excellent ball-handling skills and independent offensive capabilities. Such a player has no great achievements, but he can still provide stable firepower for the team.
Korver’s shooting posture is textbook level. Basketball enthusiasts who want to practice shooting can also further observe and learn.
His skills are stable and adaptable to various tactical systems. Whether it is the Spurs' team basketball or "one star and four shots", Korver can adapt to it. He only needs to run on the outside Just move and catch the ball and shoot. A steady three-pointer can be perfectly adapted to any era and any team.
Korver is like a fort on the court. No one dares not to defend against his deterrent power from the outside. Even though he is 39 years old, no team still dares to let go of his shooting. The Bucks The off-ball movement tactics developed for Korver are very sophisticated. He can always complete the tasks assigned to him by the team and perform brilliantly in limited time. Summary:

Answers: 1. Rebounder: Reggie Evans. 2. A master of small tricks: Pachulia. 3. Defensive tough guy: Beverley.
Most of the players who can enter the NBA have good physical fitness and basketball talent. Even the most ordinary players in the NBA can be the main starter in other leagues.
However, there are a small number of players who are not very talented but rely on their own efforts and skills to gain a foothold on the court and even become indispensable and important roles for the team. Today I will share with you the players who have established themselves in the NBA based on their skills. See if there are any players you are familiar with!
1. Rebounder: Reggie Evans.
Evans, who is 203 centimeters tall, has excellent physical fitness. The outside world has commented that he moves slowly, has no shooting ability, and has a very low golf IQ. At first glance, Evans seems to have nothing. He has the advantage of establishing himself in the NBA, but he has played in the NBA for 12 seasons. Why is this?
Because Evans has an extraordinary sense of rebounding, he is very accurate in predicting the placement and prediction of rebounds. Even at a height of 203 centimeters, he competes with tall men over 210 meters tall in the penalty area for rebounds. At a disadvantage, he had 0 points and 20 rebounds in 2006 and 17 points and 24 rebounds in 2013. He has shown his ability to rebound.
Speaking of rebounding, Evans' rebounding sense has become his only skill in the NBA.
2. Master of small moves: Pachulia.
As long as he is on the court, opponents must be careful of his little moves, which makes him booed by fans in every stadium he goes to.
These actions of his were done deliberately and may affect the player's basketball career, so he has also become the target of public criticism.
However, for his teammates, he is very reliable. After all, some people still have to do some things, so he has played in the league for several years.
3. Defensive tough guy: Beverley.
Beverley was an undrafted player, and he also played in other leagues in order to make a living. Beverley, who knew that he was petite and lacked talent, positioned himself as a defensive warrior with aggressive The full defense and uncompromising attitude, from interfering with the opponent's shots to gummy defense, whether it is to beat the opponent defensively, but also put great pressure on the opponent mentally.
You can see him constantly struggling with Curry, you can also see his confrontation with Paul, and you can even see his wonderful defense against Durant, as long as he is the team's top scorer Hands, that is Beverley's primary defense object. Guarding key players has become his responsibility, which can also be said to be his interest.
Beverley's attitude not only moved his teammates, but also his opponents were moved by his positive attitude. He gained a place with his defense and was recognized by the players. I have something to say:
A carrot and a pit, if ordinary people are placed in the right place, they can also shine. However, the NBA, a league full of talents, has a group of ordinary players. His own efforts and attitude are based on the court, and he has also been respected by his opponents. (Except Pachulia of course)
So as ordinary people, we must not feel that we are worthless. As long as we maintain a positive attitude and give full play to our own strengths, then you will also have your own In this world, ordinary people are actually not ordinary, they just haven't released your advantages yet.

If you want to make a name for yourself in the NBA, physical fitness is a very important aspect. In addition to personal efforts, some people have a purely natural advantage, that is, explosive physical fitness, and they can make a name for themselves in the NBA even without much effort. Let's take a look at players who have average physical fitness but can play in the NBA with their skills.
First place: Stockton
Stockton’s physical fitness is very average, but he has won the title of assists leader and steal leader in NBA history. , mainly because his golf IQ is very high and he can grasp and control the rhythm on the court in a timely manner. Although he has not won a championship, the Utah duo formed by him and Malone also left a strong mark in the history of the NBA. Note number.
Second place: Rodman
Rodman has a weird personality and many of his behaviors are incomprehensible, but it is undeniable that he is very well-known on the NBA court. High. As an important figure during the Bulls period, he made great contributions to protecting Jordan. Although Rodman is only 2 meters tall, which is relatively short for NBA insiders, he averaged 13.3 rebounds per game. He once averaged 18.7 rebounds per game in a single season and scored 100 rebounds in his career. 7 rebounding titles. This is a remarkable achievement for a player whose height is at a disadvantage compared to his opponent.
Third place: Beverley
Beverley is called a mad dog by fans, mainly because his defense is very oppressive. After being drafted by the Lakers in 2009, Beverley did not land in the NBA. He was waived by the team during the preseason. Until 2013, the Rockets signed Beverley with a minimum salary contract. At that time, Jeremy Lin was the starting player for the Rockets.
But Beverley relied on his defense and hard work on the court to push Jeremy Lin to the bench. In the end, Jeremy Lin was forced to leave for the Lakers. Beverley's scoring methods are average, but his defense is worthy of praise. With mediocre talent, he relied on defense to gain a foothold in the NBA.
Fourth place: Redick
As we all know, Redick’s physical fitness is very average. Whether it is height or wingspan, there is a big difference compared with the opposing players. But he has been able to establish himself in the NBA with his three-point shooting. Whether he is with the 76ers or the Pelicans, they all rely on his three-point shooting ability.
Fifth place: Korver
Korver is actually similar to Redick, both are players with average physical fitness but strong three-point shooting ability. Korver's ball-handling ability is average, and his breakthroughs are often blocked by defensive players, and his footsteps are not very flexible. But he entered the All-Star lineup precisely because of his ability to shoot three-pointers, and many people use his shooting as a textbook to learn from. His excellent movement and three-point shooting can be said to be a system suitable for any team.
The first thing to note is that as long as you can enter the NBA, there are no players with average talent, including those who look at the water dispenser. They are just inferior to those super giants. And these players who are not talented enough to reach the top of the NBA can still gain a foothold in the league with some of their own skill sets.
Rodman is a typical example of doing one thing to the extreme. Everyone thinks that he was born to grab rebounds. Rodman often scored zero points in a game, but he could grab 2 to 30 rebounds. At the end of his career in the Mavericks, the 39-year-old averaged 14 rebounds per game. At 2.01 meters tall, he may be too short to play the No. 3 position, but Rodman is capable of playing the center position. His talent is not as proficient as Jordan and Pippen, but he relies on the skill of rebounding to establish himself in the NBA.
Another role player who relies on one skill to establish himself in the NBA is Bruce Bowen. His outstanding skill is defense. Bowen can be regarded as the originator of the popular 3D players. Their main offensive method is open three-pointers, and defense is their specialty. During the Spurs period, Bowen reached the peak of his career. He won three championships with the Spurs and was selected to the NBA's All-Defensive Team for five consecutive years. The soul of the Spurs team is undoubtedly Duncan, who can attack and retreat, but as Duncan himself said, the Spurs rely on the team's defense to play well, but this is based on excellent personal defense, and Bowen is The toughest part of their defense. Because of his rogue defense, Bowen is also hated by many NBA superstars.
That world.
Beverley, with average physical talent and average offense, relied on his mad-dog defense to gain a foothold in the NBA and win a contract. Beverley's performance on the offensive end is average, his focus is on defense, and he relies on defense to thrive in the NBA. And relying on mad dog defense Curry, James and others began to come into people's sight, pressing the whole court to death defense. It was precisely with this kind of defense that he won the Clippers contract.
The first thing that comes to mind is Jimmy Butler. Jimmy's talent is not outstanding in the NBA. His physical fitness is average, and his height, jumping and wingspan are not outstanding. However, Butler has gradually established his place in the NBA through his long-term unremitting efforts and hard training, and is now the absolute core of the Heat. Butler's defense is so outstanding that he was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team 4 times. He also has a tough playing style and aggressive rebounding. He also shows the big heart of the team leader at critical moments. Butler once said in an interview during his time with the Timberwolves: "I'm not the most talented person on the team. Who is the most talented player? It's Towns. Who is the most favored player by God? It's Wiggins.
Who is playing the hardest? It's me! I play hard and put my body on the court every day, either in practice or in games. This is my passion. This is how I make you aware of my existence. ”
Generally speaking, talent is only average compared to the talented players in the league! In the World League, none of the players have average talent! Average physical fitness, but accurate three-pointers! Isn’t this the case? Talent? You know, Yao Ming's height is also a talent! Talent is not just about running fast and jumping high!
