At the beginning of the season, maybe no one could imagine that the team that ranked first in the West three weeks after the start of the match was the Jazz team. Now, when malcanin easily scored 23 points and led the Jazz to win the Lakers 115 points in the first three quarters, I’m afraid no one will doubt the concept of “jazz is very good.

Of course, the final result of jazz depends on the following 70 games, but at least one thing is certain: No. 23 Lowry-malcanin now really shows the superstar style, so far this season, he has averaged 21.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists, with a hit rate of, all of which are the highest in his career. According to this rhythm, both the All-Star and the fastest-improving player will probably be in his pocket.

In fact, fans who have seen the European Championship in summer will never question marcanin’s strength. Experts have already reached a consensus on him: marcanin’s ability is beyond doubt. The key is how to put him into an individual relationship. However, the 34-year-old junior coach will Hardy of the jazz obviously built a very comfortable tactical system around malcanin-in this tactical system, malcanin stood in the No. 3 position more suitable for him, for the first time, he became the number one attack choice of the team; And beside him were two perfect partners who could help him make up for the loopholes: van der Bilt, who was extremely fast, and ollinick, one of today’s best response centers.

Marcanin: what zebra, I don’t make it?

This kind of personnel collocation hides malcanin’s shortcomings and enlarges his advantages. However, although it was the number one scorer of the team, malcanin did not have unlimited fire power. In the game against the Lakers, malcanin did not even finish the score for the second time until the second quarter. In fact, malcanin didn’t care too much about the ball right as those stereotypes said, and he still played rigorous tactical balls most of the time-maybe he didn’t even think of it, now, as an abandoned to be dealt with to the Jazz, he actually felt the happiness of “playing a strong team” and “being the core” for the first time this year. After all, according to the original plan, he is likely to be still in the puzzle that the knight is not salty or light, and then look at the faces of the defenders.

There is no doubt that markanin was lucky. The Jazz who was waiting for nothing lacked a core, and he just filled in this position, which was exactly what he dreamed of throughout his basketball career.

Lauri-malcanin was born in the northern Finnish city of VANTA. It is leisurely and comfortable. In Finland, sports fans have become accustomed to the competition of American Time: The country has delivered 247 puckster to NHL, and 37 are in active service. They are absolutely powerful hockey powers, but there are not many people playing basketball.

However, Lauri malcanin is an exception, or he has no choice. His father Peka and mother Ricca are both professional basketball players. Peka is 2.11 meters tall and focuses on the center. He once played 129 games on behalf of the Finnish national team and was elected the best basketball player of the year three times. Pekka’s three sons have all become professional players: the eldest son is 1.97 meters tall, and he has played football for a year in Real Madrid team B; The second son is Lowry, another is the third man who also played basketball but retired early due to injury. That is to say, malcanin, who was shooting with his father since childhood, was watching NBA when his classmates were watching hockey.

Incredibly, malcanin, who was born in 1997, actually his favorite basketball player was Michael Jordan. Due to the imitation of Jordan, marcanin’s style of play was completely different from his figure. He enjoyed the feeling of one-stop fast attack and violent buckle very much. When he was a child, he loved standing on downtown one-on-one with his opponent. However, his play was obviously encouraged by another Finnish legend, Hano Motora, who had played in the Eagle for 2 years.

Motora is the first selected NBA player in Finland. He is actually a standard European power forward who can hold the ball outside the line and has the ability of tossing in one hand. However, in 2000, the eagle, he was arranged to be a no-ball attack and could only run on the court; The next year he was arranged to play center. After two almost full-time seasons, Motora never stayed in NBA again.

Hanno-Motora

As the most respected pioneer in Finnish basketball, Motora has enough say to his later generations. He does not criticize malcanin’s alternative playing style, but constantly encourages him to be more selfish, malcanin recalled that Motora often regretted in front of him, “If I didn’t obey a little, could I stay in NBA for a few more years?”

Motora said, “When I was in college in the United States, the coach always told me what a good shot was. I didn’t understand until I entered the NBA. As long as I could shoot, it was a good shot, those who can’t throw out are bad shots. Basketball is indeed a team sport, but only a more active person can get a big contract. The so-called team and cooperation are all fake before you become famous, and you have to show yourself when you have the chance.”

Under Motora’s guidance, marcanin enjoyed basketball more happily. Anyway, there was no stronger Finnish peers than him. Everyone was willing to give the ball to him, then he watched him hit five at a time outside the line, dropped the defender one step, rushed into the layup or stormed.

Before going to the United States, malcanin had always been such a savage fight that his six relatives did not recognize.

Malcanin, who grew up watching Jordan’s videotape, has been wearing No. 23 since he was young. He not only imitated Jordan in competition temperament, but also fully agreed with Jordan’s basketball philosophy: winning is the first place, but he must be brave to take responsibility, if your teammates can’t, they will depend on themselves. He was selected into the Finnish national team at the age of 20 and played the European Championship in Finland in 2017, averaging 19.5 points and 5.7 rebounds. Many people praised his maturity and responsibility for this, but malcanin himself didn’t take it seriously, “Isn’t that what it should be? I AM said that if I am the most capable, then I should do more, which is natural.”

“I know I have to be selfish,” he said, “because I am sure, I can’t say clearly how many hours I throw in the training hall every day, the critical moment, I must finish it.”

Parents testified that marcanin had a terrible love for training. They lived in weistrule for only five hours during the day in winter, and malcanin would spend all five hours practicing balls in the backyard. Sometimes his parents had to go to the backyard and shout to him, if you play basketball again, don’t eat him.

Malcanin’s idea is particularly simple, “I AM said that Finnish children only know LeBlanc James or several other NBA stars. You said, can’t we also make one?”

At the age of 19, markanin went to the University of Arizona with the goal of running a year later. After he went to college, he immediately shocked the coach-“We have to go to the gym every day to drive him out,” said the deputy head coach, “You can’t find anyone who loves training more than him.”

Old malcanin said that he once went to college to see his son, but he sat in the lounge for 45 minutes. The coach really couldn’t watch it and went into the training ground to call him, “Your father called you home for dinner!” He replied, “Wait for me to finish this group!”

A year later, marcanin’s draft was really smooth, ranking within the top 10. However, at that time, the Scouts were still a little rigid about his positioning, calling him “Finnish little driver” was just “a little more version of fengshui ball”. At that time, the Lone Ranger had the 9th order. Dirk made it clear in the interview that he did not support him. “You just say that the template is like mine. Can there be one that can fight?”

But in fact, malcanin doesn’t play like Dirk (or at least not like Dirk in mature period). At least he thinks he practiced completely according to Jordan. Of course, the early days of Dirk playing also made Jordan feel like himself. The essential reason was that Jordan was playing the defender position with the body of a small forward, while malcanin’s technical action was an outside line, it’s just that he has grown to 2 meters 13 — or because he is often the highest and most able to jump on the court, he is often arranged to grab rebounds inside. But if he gets it, malcanin basically drives himself straight into it. The main tactic of the Finnish national team is that malcanin works alone, and other teammates cheer for help.

At the beginning of NBA, malcanin was not too smooth. In the rookie year, he drove high and walked low. At that time, under the leadership of Hoiberg, the bull advocated the strategy of “whoever grabs the ball will shoot”. A total of 9 people scored double in the game. In essence, Lavin and Blood Brothers mirrotich and Portis are both the Masters who fire with the ball. Although malcanin played 68 games and started, he really won not much power, moreover, the tactical position in the team is very erratic and the performance is also very unstable.

But he himself never wanted to lie flat.

Once the bull played away and went to Toronto. Malcanin contacted the retired player pincet and asked if he could borrow his power room. After training the two had dinner together, malcanin asked him how he defended Kobe and McGrady at that time. Pincet was shocked by his thirst for knowledge, because few black children who like to sing and dance rap always think they are the best, few people will ask him these questions, so pound seter simply gives them a gift: “He is like a sponge,” poundset said, “every day, new knowledge is being learned.”

But malcanin thought it was normal, “I am rookie, I came to learn in the first year. I want to live in the gym all the time, but I also have to learn to be smarter.”

Poundset said that he was moved by the young man’s studiousness, but one thing he couldn’t imagine.

“It’s snowing in Chicago,” he said. “I’m homesick.”

Malcanin in the bull period

Playing in Chicago is a dream come true for malcanin. After all, he watched this stadium countless times on TV when he was a child, and now he can play here. But on the statue at the door on the 23rd, he had to change to the 24th. After the Bull’s second year, malcanin’s playing time became less and less, and his shots became less and less. Americans used to think that the big European white man who could shoot was equal to the space power forward, positioning is the anti-aircraft artillery station of downtown, but malcanin is not used to this role. He is more willing to carry the ball and attack, dunk on other people’s heads like Jordan.

It is also for this reason that many stubborn coaches think that malcanin’s play is more like playing handsome in order to show off. Four years after the rookie contract passed, he refused the bull’s 4-year-60 million renewal contract and went to Knight-but unfortunately, there was no 23 here, so he was still the 24th.

Do you call this “space type number four”?

Of course, what more people remember is that He large hat curry……

Strictly speaking, malcanin was not disappointed in the Knight’s year. He said he found the happiness of enjoying basketball here. He still remembered that on the first day when he came to the Knight training ground, a coach said to him seriously, “Have you thought it over? All the people who go in have to practice until they are exhausted.”

Malcanin is happy, “Is there such a good thing?”

He said frankly that he was under too much pressure, “I want more young people Dove Lan to play basketball, and more and more players will come to NBA. So I have to get some grades here to attract them to like basketball. My responsibility is very important.”

“When I was in the bull, I was arranged to play a role I was not used to. If I didn’t play well, I would blame myself very much. Recirculation, the situation became more and more difficult.” He recalled, “but I also know that I will not change the style of play, because this is me.”

Marcanin in The Knight period

In the knight, malcanin was regarded as the all purpose balm of the three high schools. Although it had a good effect, malcanin felt that he was still not regarded as a key figure. After a short year, he was put on the shelves again. There were not many people who had confidence in his future career.

But at least, more and more Finns saw his excellence, and he also returned his compatriots who supported him with more dazzling performance.

In the euro 2022 championship, malcanin scored 19 out of 29 in the 16-in-8 match, with 43 points in a wild boom, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, and 0 mistakes, A man blew up the NBA attack group in Croatia. The Finnish national team returned to the top eight after 55 years. Those who once didn’t care about him did not give him a good word, and the praise he liked most was that he was really like the No. 23, full of firm courage.

And he said, “I’m just trying to do what the team needs me to do. Sometimes, the God of basketball will care for you and how you can vote.”

The 43-point match actually took place after the Knight and jazz trade. He understood what he was going to face next, opportunities and challenges, and the joy of playing freely. “I really don’t care about data. Scoring more is to win. It is a happy thing to play with a group of teammates who have the same sense of identity and goals.”

Jazz coach Hardy obviously agreed with malcanin’s point of view. After a good record, he said, “What this team really likes is that everyone is passionate and happy, they are happy for each other. Everyone can get the ball right and everyone feels their existence.”

“This is a good team.”

Then, marcanin, who went around a big circle and finally got back on track, was doing something contrary to his teacher Motora’s point of view.

“We just can enjoy the game without looking at the data sheet. As long as you do the right thing, the next thing will follow.”
