With comprehensive attack and defense, KG may be a better player during peak hours-Dirk is better than KG in attack and KG is better than Dirk in defense; But the range is poor.
Attack, Dirk is a historical presence in the 4th position in history, KG is still very excellent in terms of overall; Defense, KG is the top presence in the 4th position in history, only Duncan can compare, and Dirk’s defense, in the history of No. 4, is ordinary, which is polite.
However:
If I want to choose the core of team building, I will probably choose Dirk.
KG is a better passer-the long man talks about passing the ball. Except jokiki, who dares to say that he is completely overwhelmed? — The most top all-around defender in history, the excellent fixed-point shot player, hit the middle shot in the first ten years of the 21st century, except Dirk and Kobe.
If the core of team building is not selected, but all purpose balm, it is more versatile than KG in history, I am afraid there are few.
But the core requirements of team building are much more complicated.
The core of team building in NBA history, except Russell, Big Ben, onside and other limited exceptions, must be both offensive and defensive, and even:
Attack is stronger than guard.
And:
The value of the top defense core is not as good as the top attack core.
Chasing Dreams was the warrior’s help King, rebounder, snatch King and cover King from 2014 to 23, but everyone knows that he can be the warrior’s muscles and bones, but the warrior’s soul is curry.
From 1991 to 98, pippon was the chief of the bull and the team defended, but everyone knew that the soul of the bull was Jordan.
KG can organize, End (excellent shot player), and occasionally play a great attack on the King’s seventh 37 points and 21 rebounds in 2004, but most of the time, he is not good at winning the team’s attack arrow.
In the best season of his career, the Timberwolves had spareville in 2004 and the Celtics had Pierce in 2008. The MVP of the 2008 finals was even Pierce.
In 2011 and 2012, Rondo even had attack power above KG: KG’s attack regular season was easy to use, but when the playoffs were alive and dead, they could not support a team’s attack.
And Dirk proved in 2006 that he could reach the finals by his main attack; In 2011, he proved that he could win the championship by his main attack.
The gap between the KG defensive end and the KG defensive end is greater than the gap between the Dirk attacking end and the KG.
But as the core, the value of attack is greater than that of defense.
And, adaptability.
One thing few people mentioned: Dirk played a whirlwind with old Nelson in 2003, with laferentz and Nash to lose to Spurs in the West; In 2006, he played the iron style with the little general, and led Josh Howard and Harris to the finals; in 2011, I won the championship with coach Carlyle, the space style, and Chandler, Kidd and Marion.
Three teams with completely different styles, Dirk, were brought out by their own attacks.
Some players are naturally suitable to be teammates: shooting is likely to open space; Non-sticky ball can allow teammates to play; Passing well, comprehensive defense, can open the situation when there is a ball, and can be restrained when there is no ball……
Active service, such as curry. The fire of the whole alliance may be stronger than him, but who can be better than him if he chooses to be a teammate?
The good teammates in NBA history are Byrd, Nash, hornasek, Brad Miller, Stockton and Ginobili.
KG, of course, is also an excellent teammate: Defense + passing + the final ability of the middle pitch, perfect All Purpose Balm.
But Dirk may be the most suitable player among all retired players.
Just enough defense.
It can be called an excellent defensive rebound.
No ball rights are required.
Holding the ball can fight on the top stage.
No ball can be empty on the top stage.
The last two points-the attacking end holds the ball and has no value-take into account, very few.
In the 2010-11 season, many people should remember that the ultimate goal of Dallas was Dirk’s back-to-back singles GOLDEN ROOSTER independent back shooting.
But the daily attack in Dallas was that Barria, Terry and Kidd were looking for Dirk to break down: Dirk didn’t need to take the ball. A cover could make his teammates happy.
So Dirk’s partner changed one after another, with Nash, Daniels, Josh Howard, Kidd, Terry, Barria on the periphery, lafentz, Bradley, danpierre, diopp, Chandler on the inside, however, Dallas has always been strong.
Partner with Dirk. As long as the defender can break down, the center can be a blue collar. OK, the rest Dirk is wrapped for you. Go ahead.
In contrast, KG is indeed all purpose balm, but in NBA where things are rare, you still need a top attacker like Pierce when you have KG.
Dirk doesn’t have to: he himself is the top attacker.
That is, Dirk is not so comprehensive, but he can attack himself. You can match him with ordinary teammates.
KG is extremely comprehensive; But when you really want to play, you have to specially match him with a superstar who can play.
The complexity of this matrix is very clear.
The last bit, character.
KG’s character is paranoid and competitive, which can drive teammates, but the ups and downs are also great. Before the beginning of the 2004-05 season, a fist bored down his teammate Ricky, which directly defeated others.
Dirk is a good person who is diligent and earnest. He is willing to practice, adjust himself and cut his salary. After losing the finals in 2006 and being blacklisted in 2007, ordinary people directly collapsed. Dirk could climb up from the bottom of the valley, learn shame and then be brave, and redeem himself in 2011.
When Dirk Nowitzki was 15 years old, he learned basketball with Mr. Holger gashwinner. The old man said:
“I want you to have a perfect personality…… I want you to learn how to learn!”
Five years later, Nowitzki entered NBA and soon became a star. Three years later, he went back to wurtsburg for the summer vacation, and Holger gashwinner came again:
“Let’s go to the German fencing championship! You must learn to practice fencing!”
— He tried to let Dirk know the balance and prediction through fencing.
Then, he asked Dirk to be a cheerleading girl like a split, walking half-court with both hands upside down, and asked Dirk to stand freethrow line and jump and shoot with one foot.
— This is Dirk’s GOLDEN ROOSTER Independent shooting that was not right in the world later.
Various flexibility training. Strange shooting posture. Perfect personality. Know how to learn.
These are not things that can get immediate results now. But it is of great help to Dirk Nowitzki’s long career.
Dirk, as a teammate, does not have the furious infection ability of KG, but he can get along with various teammates, such as Nash Kidde Terry Harris Daniels and so on.
To some extent, KG’s character is a bit like Ke Zhen’s evil, not rubbing sand in his eyes, and its sex is like fire.
Dirk is a bit like Guo Jing: learn and learn again, work hard and polish it diligently, and get along with everyone.
The former is more infectious, but as the core of team building, the latter can last longer.
