Okiki, who is 1.98 meters tall, is a reverse cover for bankelo, who is 2.08 meters tall. Bankelo sent a “fengshui ball” pass in against the blade of honor, the Banba with a height of 2 meters and 13 is cut down to complete the empty joint partition buckle.
Bankero’s usual tricks in the 2K23 game took place in the first battle of today’s Magic 113-93 beating the wasp. In the whole game, bankelo, as the actual control guard of magic, played 27 minutes and scored 21 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in 14 shots and 8 shots, he finally gained the first victory in his NBA career.
Bankero is the sixth player in history to score at least 20 points in the first six games of his career, but what excites magic most is not this milestone, instead, the performance of bankelo’s transformation to play the control Guard (or call the control front) far exceeded expectations.
Magic took the Champion sign and chose bankelo, which solved the lack of front line core and back field core two obstacles at one time, which made the reconstructed Magic team more options. Suddenly, the prospect of magic was much brighter. Since 2013, magic has bet on many potential novae, but basically all ended in failure. Today, bankero has become the greatest hope of magic revival.
The whole process of bankero’s settlement magic was full of drama.
In May 2022, before the lottery draw ceremony, Magic coach Mosley suddenly found President Wellman, who hoped to take the place of Wellman to draw lots. Because he didn’t know whether it was for psychological reasons or encountered a fantasy event in which the sky fell and the auspicious light shone, Mosley thought that he could bring good luck to magic.
Wellman gave the lottery opportunity to Mosley, and Mosley really got the first prize for magic. In the case that the probability is 14%, Magic becomes the lucky one to get the first prize sign, the rocket gets the flower probe sign, and the piston falls to the fifth order.
After Magic got the first prize, it began to inspect the work. The 2022th qualified champion was nothing more than bankelo, Holmgren and Jabari-Smith. In this competition for the first place, bankelo and Holmgren were popular at the beginning, and Smith gradually joined the competition.
But by June, 2022, Smith came to the top, and the voice of being elected to the top was getting higher and higher. Especially after Smith’s trial training for magic, people in the industry generally predict that magic will choose Smith, and Smith ranks first on the odds list. Bankelo didn’t go to Orlando for trial training at all, even he didn’t think magic would choose him.
“At that time, all the information pointed to that I would settle in the rocket as a flower show, and I thought so at that time. If this is the result, I can accept it happily.” Bankero said.
Two days before the draft, magic suddenly called bankelo, who had already flown to Houston, to initiate an online interview. Magic introduced Orlando’s local conditions and customs to benkelo and described to him what kind of play he would take if Magic chose. Magic also clarified to bankero that all reports about magic that he was not interested in were false.
But in that online interview, Magic did not promise to choose bankelo. On the one hand, it is for confidentiality, on the other hand, it is because even the magic itself is uncertain.
The morning before the draft, less than 24 hours from the 2022 draft conference, Magic management convened scouts and executives to hold a meeting and temporarily decided to choose bankelo with the first prize sign. John Hammond, the general manager of Magic, left the conference room with no bottom in his mind. His feeling was that even if Welman changed his decision in the morning, he would not be surprised.
After the Magic selection of bankero, he was not willing to admit that they had been entangled. The Magic management insisted that the reversal of the title of the number one in the draft was the result of confidentiality principle and misleading tactics. You can regard this as the respect of magic to bankelo, but the fact is that magic is still struggling until the last day.
“I didn’t know that I was going to Orlando until 20 seconds before Adam Xiao Hua was going to the stage to announce the results of the draft,” bankelo later said.
Rockets’ general manager Stone admitted that he was caught off guard. They confirmed that the Magic had approached the draft when he wanted to choose bankelo. In that case, the Rockets still tried to complete the limit operation. They sent a transaction request to the Magic, hoping to upgrade the flower search sign to the first prize sign so as to pick Carol off work. But Magic chose to refuse after listening to the quotation. Finally, the rocket chose Smith with a flower probe.
Smith and bankero are completely different types of players, and it is still unknown which level of stars they can grow into in the future. But at least from the beginning of their career, the magic choice was right. When Smith was still adapting to the rhythm of NBA, bankero had quickly become a new leader in magic.
The official height of bankero is 2 meters 08, but according to his own disclosure, he has grown to 2 meters 10. Bankelo’s athletic ability and arm show are not abnormal, but he has a few strong bodies of players of the same age, which enables him to quickly adapt to the intensity of NBA confrontation. In the first six games, bankero hit 67.5% restricted area near the basket, which is not easy for a new front-line player who mainly attacks with the ball.
The attacking end of bankero showed his high evaluation in verifying the scout report. There were shadows of Cameron-Anthony, Julius-Randle and others in him. He could make use of strong attack of body shape and could also be in middle distance singles, you can win 8.7 free throws in the game. You can even feel the shadow of Michael Beasley when the shift Kelo dreadlocks fluttered to complete the left-hand cast.
What is different from his predecessors is that now he seldom attacks at a low level. He attacks more through face frame singles and block demolition, and his face frame singles score 1.14 points per round, the score of each round of blocking and dismantling is 1.05 points, and the efficiency is quite brilliant. This is also the main reason why Magic determined to cultivate him in the direction of control and security from the very beginning. Bankelo is not Ben Simmons. He is also tall and has outstanding vision. Bankelo can create a lot of opportunities for his teammates based on his strong independent offensive ability and restraint.
There are a lot of people in the back court of magic, but neither Sagus nor Fultz has shown the ability to become a core defender. Coupled with their frequent injuries, Mosley decided to let bankero hold the ball in large quantities. The ability to organize the ball is an underestimation of bankero. He used to be a quarterback in the football team when he was a child, and his vision and consciousness were fine. From the summer league to the regular season, bankero played a solid role in the organization. ESPN talent show expert Mike predicted in his column Schmitz that bankelo had the potential to become an excellent organizer.
Bankelo developed towards the control guard early, which made the Future of magic have more room for imagination. Bankero and little Wendell-Carter at 2 m 08, Isaac and Moritz-Wagner at 2 M 11, Banba at 2 m 13, Franz-Wagner at 2 m 06, bohr-Bohr with 2 meters and 18 meters, Magic has the capital of “five big deaths.
At present, due to the injuries of Isaac and Moritz-Wagner, the configuration of “death five” in the game by bankero has not become a reality, but in the future, magic may focus on bankero to come up with multiple sets of lineups that make opponents feel oppressive.
“I will tell you that this will be our cheat code by then,” bankero said. While learning how to lead the team to win, he waited patiently for that day to come.
