The Matrix: Shawn Marion’s Journey from the Suns to the Mavericks

Weapons are sharp, cutting iron ​​​​like clay. The wind blows fiercely, and the iron is as strong as a stick. I hope that there will be more discussion and that there will be different opinions about watching the game.

There are two main events for me on May 7, US time First, on May 7, 1995, Reggie Miller, the first shooter of the Pacers who had just fought with Nick in the Eastern Conference Championship ‘ year before, who won this time. Eastern Conference championship. , but Miller scored 8 consecutive points in 8.9 seconds, called “Miller Time”, and finally came back to win 107:105, which became an important victory for the Pacers overcome the Knicks and advance to the Eastern Conference Championship that year.

The second thing has something to do with Miller in his eyes is that this boy grew up to be an NBA player and became famous in the Suns However, he was not connected with the Phoenix for a while after the trade. choose the time again.

This idol is Miller’s former player, Shawn Marion, who was instrumental in the Suns’ short-lived peak in the early 21st century. He has rejoined the Suns this season and entered to the Suns’ home court twice this season, which Something let him be traded that year, he almost made up for the lack of communication with the Suns In the days after his retirement, Marion even appeared as a member of the Mavericks tournament, but of course, it was when he was there. in the Suns that he really rode the revolutionary wave of the times, and Marion, under the circumstances of being questioned, became the “backbone in the penalty area” and the heart of the Sun’s small ball system with a typical swingman figure.This is a real recognition for him many years later.

When we consider the present and drag the two dimensions into the three-dimensional space battle, we find that Marion, who has been burdened with various doubts, more likely to be an extremely versatile versatile player in today’s world. century

The Matrix

It is said that Marion was already in awe when he first came into contact with basketball. He still hasn’t learned all kinds of basketball skills, especially since he’s been working so hard that he can’t shoot like his idol Miller. deception he already knows will be in the air. The Suns received the ninth overall lottery pick in the 1999 draft. Arizona.

At 6 feet 7 inches and 215 pounds, Marion’s body is the exact typical swingman designation After recruiting players in 1999, the Suns seemed to have a five-goal streak, with two popular star guards from the “Backcourt 2000” called Jason in the back court. . . in the front court the center is the former Bull.

The main reason is that the Suns’ top four forwards are all of their own age, and they continued to become mavericks in the NBA’s great laboratory during the season when the Suns sent away an MVP star Charles Barkley Cliffy’s best bodies, in terms of height, are definitely inside the three-point line, and his passing vision was definitely better than that of inside players, and it grew Robinson’s shooting range was longer and longer during the Trail Blazers era, with nearly 40% of his shots above the mental level beyond the three. On the other hand, the 6-foot-7 Rogers had a higher percentage of inside attacks than the two mentioned. In the end, although he mainly plays the third position, the Marion’s best REB% of all frontcourts on the offensive end, Marion is a good helper for the two star guards to encourage fast breaks Occasionally, the two guards team up with him for fast break dunks to make the best defensive hits of the week depend on aggressive rushing and is of course an important defender of the sun’s rebounds. Although the average of 6.5 rebounds is not very good, that is because Marion only got more than 24 minutes of playing time next to three seniors.
