Chapter 586 The Great John
John Stockton is a must.
Mike Conley and Patrick Beverley need a mentor, otherwise, given their respective trajectories, the chances of these two being self-taught are very low.
One averaged 32.6 assists in 5.7 minutes per game in his career, and the other was even worse, averaging only 28.3 assists in 3.5 minutes per game in his career.
Regardless of the position, I thought the two of them were small forwards!
Damn, small forwards are not so stupid, James averaged 7.2 assists per game...
Therefore, a master must be found for them.
And what about the master?
Must be the number one point guard in NBA history——
John Stockton!
Note (knocking on the blackboard), this is point guard, not point guard!
Only point guards who can read the game, control the field, and organize the whole team are eligible to be called point guards.
Others, those who dribble across the half court and hand over to the core singles can only be called point guards.
Of course, there are still many in Huaxia who can't even dribble across the half court.
They don't even count as point guards, collectively referred to as:
Number one!
Many people know Stockton's career immortal 15806 assists, but few people remember that he only had 4244 turnovers.
What do you mean?
Westbrook is averaging 10.3 assists and 5.4 turnovers per game.
Harden averaged 11.2 assists and 5.8 turnovers per game.
Stockton has career averages of 10.5 assists and 2.8 turnovers.
This kind of high efficiency and low turnover is based on his style of play, precise and reasonable self-control, not too many fancy breakthroughs, and not easy to take risks.
If you want to teach children to play point guard, all the academic coaches will think of John Stockton, not magicians and assassins.
Because, at the position of point guard, Stockton has no shortcomings.
He did everything a regular point guard can do:
Stability, efficiency, winning first, like a machine.
Calmly read the situation, look for every teammate who is shuttling in the cover, remember the position and habits of each teammate, and make the most reasonable choice.
His throwing, passing habits, changing directions, and shooting posture are all the most textbook, and of course including those subtle movements of his knees and elbows...
Zhao Ke wiped the ashes on his nose, he couldn't just leave like this!
There must be another way.
Stockton is a sullen guy. He secretly took the pilot's license test and played with F16.
It must be that I didn't scratch his itch!
It is said that in order to celebrate Stockton being selected by the NBA, friends organized a pool party and hired a stripper without telling him.
As a result, Stockton kicked the girl into the pool without waiting for her to undress.
The big sword or something is probably useless to him!
Try to save the country with curves?
Zhao Ke thought of an excellent bad idea.
Zhao Ke refused to leave, and Stockton couldn't do it either, so we can't let the dog bombard him, right?
Stockton sat quietly opposite, watching Zhao Ke lower his head in a daze.
After a while, he poured Zhao Ke another cup of coffee.
Zhao Ke raised his head, smiled and said thank you.
Picking up the cup, took a sip, and said:
"John, do you and Karl Malone still have a close relationship?"
A nostalgic smile appeared on Stockton's face.
"We have been playing together for 18 years, and we are already family members. Is there anything closer than family?"
Zhao Ke hurriedly echoed:
"Yeah, so if it wasn't for Karl's help, I really couldn't find you!"
"Oh, you also went to Karl?"
"John, the truth is that..."
Zhao Ke made an expression that he was talking too long.
Stockton nodded, and gave his right hand a little help, motioning for you to continue.
"The team selected Ohio's talented insider Greg Oden in the draft. This kid is in top physical condition, but his skills are too poor. Isn't this looking for him all over the world!"
Zhao Ke said while observing Stockton.
Seeing that the other party is listening very seriously, I feel at ease and continue to fool around:
"Alan and I went to Charles Barkley first, but after signing the contract, he recommended Karl Malone."
Stockton's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Charles agreed to make a comeback in the Grizzlies?"
Zhao Ke nodded.
"Damn it, he's fat like a ball!"
Stockton couldn't help but swear.
Zhao Ke nodded again, and said casually:
"So, Charles recommended Carl again. He said that Carl is like him. The biggest regret in his life is that he didn't win the championship, but Carl's body is very good!"
Stockton nodded without speaking.
Zhao Ke frowned and said, "Who knows, I went to look for Karl Malone, but he kicked me out..."
Stockton laughed:
"That's because you spoke too bluntly. You must win the championship first, instead of letting him teach the rookie. Karl is very sensitive and thought you were laughing at him. But he must not be really angry, otherwise he would not give you my address."
Zhao Ke hit the snake with a stick and said flatteringly:
"John, how about you persuade him for me?"
Stockton pondered for a moment, then dialed the phone.
Zhao Ke stood up consciously, leaving some space for Stockton, but his ears were still stuck, and he vaguely heard the receiver:
"whimsical"
"The championship is so easy to win"
"I'm not going to help a little bastard..."
And so on, in this era of mobile phones, the confidentiality is really poor!
Obviously, Karl Malone is still a little embarrassed.
Hugging the thigh of the Lakers F4 is the shame of the postman's life...
He is so allergic to such things!
Hanging up the phone, Stockton looked embarrassed.
He could hear that Karl Malone was not reconciled.
Sure enough, the old guy still didn't let go, otherwise he shouldn't have talked so much!
In other words, how easy is it to let go?
Back then, if he had a little hope and could reach the finals, how could Stockton retire?
Zhao Ke secretly rejoiced, Karl Malone is a godly assist, only by striking while the iron is hot can he succeed!
"John, let's not talk about Carl, let me show you something!"
I took out the materials and videos of Mike Conley and Patrick Beverly from the bag, and watched with Stockton for a while.
After watching the video, Stockton was silent for a long time before saying quietly:
"These two boys, I'm afraid they are expected to play center forward..."
As smart as he is, he has already guessed Zhao Ke's meaning.
Zhao Ke said: "If you don't come, they will really have to play center forward! It's been a long time since there has been such a first position in the league who doesn't like to score. These are two pieces of jade in the rough. John, can you bear it?"
Stockton took a deep look at Zhao Ke, and said:
"I bear it."
Zhao Ke almost spit out his coffee.
I didn't expect you to be such a Stockton, how can you solve it if you don't get oil and salt?
No way, take a gamble!
"John, if you go to Memphis and win the championship, I bet Karl will go next season!"
So that Karl Malone can realize his dream, the great John Stockton, please sacrifice yourself!
Well, that's what Zhao Ke meant.
