It's a pity that Simmons' top talent is a pity!
The NBA, the greatest basketball city in the world, has witnessed the ups and downs of many star players, some people have created a myth with their talent and hard work, and some people have become a good story under the influence of various factors.
Ben Simmons was once expected to be"It's a pity", and "the next James" became an eternal lament.
Simmons' talent is undeniable, and his spotlight on the Philadelphia 76ers as a draft player in 2016 gave him the light of a comeback. His height, his reach, his speed, his strength, he's all up to the standard of a top player. However, such a talented star is also stumbling on the road to the NBA, which makes people sigh: talent is easy to find, but money is rare!
Simmons also had a good run with the 76ers; He has skilled foot skills and a wide range of perspectives, and can use his excellent physical condition to create some difficulties at the back. However, over time, Simmons seems to have been a little too simple, relying too much on his physical strength and not being precise enough to attack, making him very weak against some threatening opponents. The 76ers have lost their patience after a playoff setback because of Simmons' shortcomings.
The most regrettable thing is that Simmons did not show the fighting spirit and aggressiveness he should in the difficult situation, he always looked very passive on the court, and he would deliberately hide himself in some important moments. As a result, the 76ers traded Simmons to Brooklyn, and they were unhappy about it.
I thought that when I got to a new place, Simmons would be able to find himself again, but it turned out that way. With the Nets, Simmons still can't get out of his old predicament, his shooting percentage hasn't improved significantly, and he has the same view of the ball as before. The Nets expect him to play a key role in the playoffs. But Simmons' play was so disappointing that the Nets couldn't go far, and in the end Durant and Irving both left.
Simmons' performance like this is frustrating and has also caused his fans to question whether he is professional. It's very necessary for a professional soccer player to have talent, but it's more about knowing how to use those talents, which Simmons doesn't have.
We can't ignore the hard work Simmons has put in, and it's difficult to get his place in this competitive league. But if a person with amazing talent can't realize his personal value, what is the reason for this? Is this how to train your team? Or rather, his own way of thinking?
There may not be a unified answer, but what is certain is that Simmons' talent is not completely buried, and there is still hope that he will find his own in the NBA. However, in order to reach this goal, he must fight for his salvation.
After so many years in the NBA, I don't know how many star players have played in the NBA, Simmons is just one example, and the legend is still unfolding. We wish him well in the years to come, regain his original belief and mission, and achieve his myth with basketball. However, this will have to be seen. And for a fan, all we can do is support him, and care for him.
