Offseason is a rare holiday for NBA players. Many stars will choose to travel to China or accompany their families to go on vacation by the beach. However, for those players who hope to make a big splash in the new season or return to subversion, there is no offseason statement. They are all in the training hall to ensure that they can welcome the new season in the best condition. Howard is one of them.
Howard will post his training video on his IG every now and then, and accompany a very inspirational sentence: There is no offseason, how long will it take to start? The 12th has come back, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, etc. This morning, Howard posted another video of himself training, and he was doing push-ups with one hand on the barbell and the other.
Last season in the Hawks, Howard had a bad life and he did not get the full trust of the team.
In the offseason, the Hawks traded Howard to Hornets . The Warcraft , which once replaced James , can only bring Miles Plumley and Belinelli to the Hawks, which makes people sigh. This is the fourth time Howard has changed his team in five years. He has previously played for Magic, Lakers, , Rockets, .
Last season, Howard played 74 games for the Hawks, averaging 29.7 minutes per game, 8.3 shots, scored 13.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks, and both scored and shots fell to the lowest point since the rookie season!
This made Howard quite dissatisfied. He wanted to show his strength in his hometown team, but he completely became a blue-collar player. Howard complained to the team many times, which is also one of the important reasons why he was traded. The Hawks just want to get rid of this burden as soon as possible!
was once considered able to inherit O'Neal's mantle, but now it has become a burden to the team. What exactly made Howard fall to this point?
In the 8 years of the Magic, Howard has won countless honors, 6 times All-Star , 4 rebounding king, 2 blocking king, 4 best defense first team, 5 best team first team, and 3 consecutive DPOYs that have never been seen before. Howard almost alone supported the Magic system.
However, the story began to go astray in 2012. Howard was not satisfied with the small football market in Orlando and was determined to leave. He went away from Los Angeles and partnered with Kobe! However, there is a conflict with Kobe on who is the core of the team, and Howard is unwilling to cooperate with the team to play the pick-and-roll.
Also This season, Howard was involved in knee injury and back injury. Once NBA players get involved in these two injuries, their careers will be ruined by 70%! made the monster unable to reach a good position at the low level. His once shocking bounce became very ordinary, and he fell to his peak.
plus Howard, it seems that the technology has never been updated in the past decade. It has not been practiced at low posts, the small hook is not soft, the mid-range shot is messed up, and the free throw is even more painful forever. At the moment when small ball lineups are popular, if a center forward doesn’t even have a mid-range shot, it will be useless. This will mean that the team cannot play many tactics and can only act as a blue-collar worker, just like the Clippers’ Jordan !
Howard, if he cannot adapt to the times, enrich his skills, and extend his range, he will not be able to achieve good results even in the Hornets!
