The 76ers' former No.1 draft fans were embarrassed, and his strange illness made him forget how to shoot. Can Fultz return splendidly?
The p>218 NBA draft is over, and every team with draft picks has chosen their favorite players. Previous champions have also become a hot topic in the media, but not all champions can show amazing strength, because the performance of markel-Fultz, the champion in 217, can be said to be quite bad.
in the p>217 NBA draft, markel Fultz was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round, becoming the fourth No.1 pick in the history of the 76ers after Doug Collins, Allen Iverson and Ben Simmons. However, his performance in the rookie season was not ideal. On October 3th, 217, markel-Fultz was suspended for treatment due to a shoulder injury. In the whole season, he only played 14 games for the 76ers, averaging only 7.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists, which is extremely inconsistent with his status as the No.1 scholar.
Recently, his personal trainer Deru Hanerlun admitted in an interview that this newcomer suffers from a strange disease called Yi Pu disease, which is the chief culprit that affects his shooting. It can be said that Fultz's "throwing amnesia" is one of the few cases in the history of basketball. He almost forgot how to shoot, which also led to his poor shooting percentage, only 4.5%, and his free throw percentage was only 47.6%.
This phenomenon is common in golf, but this disease is equally fatal to basketball players, and his shooting movements are very uncoordinated, which is the main reason for his decline in shooting percentage. Hanerlun said that Fultz's shooting couldn't be worse. At first, he thought it would take at least six weeks for Fultz to find the feel of shooting again. But in fact, in the second week, I was able to train for jump shot. Although Fultz's shooting is still not perfect, when the summer is over, Fultz will be able to regain his touch.
In fact, in those games when he came back from injury, Fultz showed his talent and told people why he was the top pick in the draft. In addition, on April 12, 218, in the 76ers' 13-95 home victory over Milwaukee Bucks, Fultz came off the bench for 25 minutes, scored 13 points, 1 rebounds and 1 assists, gaining the first triple-double data in his career, and became the second player in NBA history to come off the bench in the rookie season after Terrence Williams. In addition, Fultz surpassed Longzo Bauer (2 years and 15 days) at the age of 19 years and 318 days, becoming the youngest player to get triple doubles in NBA history.
If Fultz can really get back to the top under the guidance of Hanlon, then the 76ers will undoubtedly be very strong next season. With three talented newcomers such as Simmons and Embiid, the future of the 76ers will be very clear.
Even the 76ers fans are calling for it. If Hanlon can really make Fultz better, let Simmons practice with him for a summer. And if he is really so good, he should teach. Fultz's accident is really regrettable, but the 76ers didn't give up training him. In fact, he is still the key training object of the team. If he can really regain the status of the No.1 scholar, then he will live up to the expectations of the 76ers.
