Alexander: The most "sniffering" rhythm master in the contemporary NBA

If you want to choose an active star who "looks out of force but can score", Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Thunder will definitely be elected with a high vote. This guy's style of competition is like acting in a slow-motion martial arts film - others are as fast as lightning, and he is as slow as a sloth, but his opponent just can't defend himself. Today, let’s analyze the technical characteristics of this “Human Crystal Essence 2.0” scientifically (and inappropriately).

1. Breakthrough: Do you think he fell asleep? In fact, he is reading your defensive instructions

Alexander's breakthrough speed. If you use animals as a metaphor, it is probably between a koala and a park walker. But he was able to use this "slow three beats" rhythm to shake the defender to doubt his life. His signature move is:

Hesitation step + sudden acceleration (actually not very sudden): He will pretend to think about life first, and when the defender can't help but want to take out his phone to reply to the message, he will suddenly step over.

Speed ​​changer: Others change speed is "faster → faster", he is "slow → slower → hey, why did I pass you?"

Literary version of European Steps: Others' European Steps are the end of two steps of "swish swish", and his European Steps are "sliding gracefully over the defender, as if he was dribbling waltz".

Summary: SGA's breakthrough is like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time you react, he has already scored 20 points on your head.

2. CNB: Contemporary "middle distance artist", specializing in various magic ball theories

In this era when everyone is obsessed with three-pointers and under the basket, Alexander is like a stubborn old-school painter, insisting on using CNB's "retro style" to educate his opponents. His mid-range features include: the lazy aesthetic of

tilt jump shot: his backward amplitude is not large, but with his long arms and slow motion rhythm, the defender can only watch the ball enter.

The philosophy of throwing: Others throwing is "fast, accurate, and ruthless", and his throwing is "hover for two seconds first, and then throw it gently after the defender lands."

"Can this go in?" series: Often throwing the ball into the basket in a strange position when it seems to be sealed on the face, making people wonder if he has GPS installed.

Summary: SGA's China Investment Corporation is like an old lady knitting sweaters - slow work is done, but you just can't stop it.

3. Foul: NBA Oscar winner candidate

If Harden is the founder of the "pin-strike school", then Alexander is the representative of the "elegant pin-strike school". His foul skills include:

"I just made a normal layup, why did you foul?": His breakthrough route can always accurately rub the defender's arm, and then look at the referee with an innocent look on his face.

Slow-motion version of "Ah I fell": someone else committed a foul and fell out with a "bang". He "tilt slowly and fell gracefully", as if he was performing Shakespeare's tragedy.

Free-throw line mathematician: Average of 8+ free throws, as stable as an old dog, the opponent can only silently pray that he doesn't feel good tonight (but not).

Summary: SGA's foul is not "hard stroke", but "let the opponent take the initiative to take the bait", which can be called a defensive IQ detector.

4. Defense: The "lazy interception technique" of the long-armed monster

Although Alexander is not famous for his defense, his steal data (1.6 times per game) is quite good. The secret is:

"I just stretched out my hand, why did the ball come into my hands?": With his terrifying arm span of 2.13 meters, he often dribbles with his opponent and the ball is gone.

"Can't prevent it? Then let yourself make mistakes": His defensive style is not "death entanglement", but "psychological game", using his position to force his opponent to make mistakes.

"Block? Let the fate": occasionally give out a big hat covering the sky, and then continue to slowly return to defense, hiding the merits and fame.

Summary: SGA's defense is like a top student exam - it doesn't seem to work hard, but the grades are better than you.

Summary: SGA - the NBA's most "sniffy" superstar

Alexander's game style perfectly interprets the philosophy of "slow to control fast". His technical characteristics can be summarized as:

Breakthrough: Slow motion passes you, you can't catch up.

Central shot: retro aesthetics, specializing in magic balls.

Foul: Elegantly hitting the car, the referee feels distressed.

Defense: Extend your long arm and get the ball.

If the NBA is a workplace survival game, then Alexander is the employee who "looks out of work but always has the best performance." He did not have violent dunks or long three-pointers in the game, but he could only score 30 points steadily, making his opponent grit his teeth and helpless.

Finally, I'll give the defender a piece of advice: "Don't be fooled by his slow motion, he's just playing your defensive loopholes at 0.5 times speed."
