When everyone was still asleep, he had already washed up and dressed neatly, and then quietly pushed open the door, disappeared into the quiet early morning, a moment later, a ray of sunlight sneaked in from a corner of the arena, and just fell on his face, sweat slowly flowed down from his forehead, at the moment of dripping, it also heralded the official start of a new day of training, as for when it ended, it could be sunset, or midnight, and such days, he passed for three years.
Someone asked, why do you fight so hard?
He said, "I have been despised once, so I don't want to encounter a second time in my future life."
Who is this person?He is the NBA's popular fried chicken this season - Tyrese Maxey.
Maxi was also a household name star player when he was a student, and in his first year of college, he was able to hand over an average of 14 points per game for the University of Kentucky, 43 rebounds, 2With a record of 4 assists, Maxi is physically gifted, especially as the No. 1 position, with a 191 meters tall, plus 1With an arm span of 98 meters, he has the advantage on both ends of the floor, and Maxey is also an all-around scorer with a range that covers the entire half.
In some **draft**, Maxi has been to the 5th place at the highest and is an absolute genius, however, on the day of the real draft, he fell to Sun Shan, **16, until the 21st pick was called by name, that night, Maxi was like sitting on pins and needles, the expression on his face changed enough to explain everything, from the excitement with a smile, to the expectation with tears in his eyes, to the despair with empty eyes, it was also from this time that a seed of "revenge" was buried in Maxi's heart.
Every offseason after that, Maxi would create a special training plan for himself, and the goal was to become stronger and regret the teams that missed him.
Hard work may not pay off, but no effort will definitely be fruitful.
Looking back at Maxey's past few seasons, it is really visible to the naked eye that he has become stronger, although many people believe that his improvement is largely due to the addition of Harden, especially last season, who completed the transformation from a player to a star, but in fact?Harden was just one of the catalysts, and it was Maxey himself who played a decisive role.
This season, even without Harden's catalyst, Maxey has broken through and grown into a true core, averaging 27 points per game so far, 46 rebounds, 67 assists and 46 from the field4% and 39 three-point shooting6% and 89 free throw percentage9%, 18 games, 15 games scored 20+, including a stunning 50+, and extremely efficient, 20-of-32 shooting, 7-of-11 three-pointers.
The current Maxi, in addition to the defense is not good enough, there are almost no shortcomings in other aspects, the offensive end is productive and efficient, the combination of sudden shooting is very good, and the scoring explosiveness, can continue to score points in a short period of time, in addition, the organizational ability has also been greatly improved, there have been 4 games of assists on the double, the most important thing is that Maxi is also very stable, he did not because of the increase in ball possession, and the increase in defensive intensity, and there were a lot of mistakes, more than 3 mistakes, but only 4 games, and the average number of errors per game is only 156 times.
It is precisely because of Maxey's excellent performance that the 76ers can still show good competitiveness after losing another All-Star player.
