[Edit this paragraph] Comprehensive evaluation

An excellent leader with a very high basketball IQ, calm temperament, and perfect court insight. He has a wide field of vision, can pass the ball directly to the heart of the enemy, has good shooting ability, and can launch attacks in any area of ??the court. Disadvantages: The defense is quite iffy and makes many mistakes.

[Offense]

He is a perfect defender on the offensive end. As a member of the 180 Club, he has all the qualities that an excellent scorer should have: whether it is a breakthrough layup, mid-range shot, three-pointer or free throw. He can score in almost any way except dunking. What's even more frightening is that, although he scores like a prodigy, he doesn't need to score to dominate the game. Only when necessary will he show his sharp teeth, such as the 48 points against the Mavericks last year, and the Lakers this year. of 32 points. He appears more often on the organizational end, and his pick-and-roll with the center is almost a nightmare for all teams. No one could predict what he would do next. Is he going to pass the ball or attack on his own? Dare to step forward at critical moments and deliver a fatal blow.

[Defense]

Nash is not perfect. While God gave him unparalleled offensive talent, he also gave him poor defense. Nash was rejected by dozens of colleges that year, and the reason was surprisingly consistent: Your defense is the worst of anyone I have ever seen. Due to his poor physical fitness, Nash was almost helpless in defending the tall point guard. In the playoffs, we can even see him being beaten by the Lakers' Parker many times. Although he has worked hard to improve his defensive awareness this season, he has had little success. What is gratifying is that the Suns' excellent rotation can make up for the lack of personal defense to a certain extent.

[Pass]

Undoubtedly a master class pass. He is very good at passing the ball at every opportunity. As long as there is a slight chance, Nash will be sure to pass the ball in place. He is familiar with almost all kinds of passing methods, including the very difficult ball hit. There is no need for a big passing angle, he reacts entirely by relying on the tacit understanding between himself and his teammates. The rhythm is very good and the receiver will be very comfortable. Rhythm is very important for a pitcher, and Nash's passing seems to be able to invisibly lead the receiver's rhythm. Once in place - catch the ball - take off - take action, the entire movement is done in one go, extremely smooth. Therefore, it is quite a blessing to have an excellent PG around you--not everyone can experience the smooth pleasure when the ball is released. When it comes to passing, we can't help but mention the amazing fast break. As the initiator of the fast break, Nash's excellent offensive and defensive transition awareness is unparalleled in the league. When the opponent was still immersed in the joy of a successful attack, and when the cameras were still showing the wonderful scenes of the last attack, the Suns' fast break combination had already completed the counterattack and retreated. The gorgeous long pass stunned everyone. He accurately judged the running position of the fast player, and then passed the ball accurately. No adjustment is required, the receiver simply dunks or lays up. What's more, you can see Little S and Super Horsepower jumping first during the fast break, waiting for Nash's pass in the air, and then a blood-soaked slam dunk. A combination that is so gorgeous that it falls apart.

[Edit this paragraph] Gentle as jade, a humble gentleman

Nash is an excellent leader. Although he lacks some domineering, he is leading the team in his own way. . This is a man with a sense of responsibility. When facing the strong momentum of his opponent, I can even feel that he is trying to make himself angry-----in order to boost the morale of the team. It is the happiness of all Suns fans to have such a leader. He was always the most gentle and calm person in the locker room. You will never feel the pressure of a superstar around him. He faced reporters' questions with a smile, carefully weighing his words and never getting tired or impatient. Be polite to everyone around you, familiar or unfamiliar. A man who could win the respect of his opponents.

[Edit this paragraph] Brief experience

Nash was born in Johannesburg, South Africa on February 7, 1974, and later settled in Canada with his parents. As a child, Nash had many interests, including football, basketball, and ice hockey. He even won three chess championships. Perhaps this was the source of his high IQ on the court. Won the British Columbia Most Valuable Football Player Award. But thankfully, Nash finally chose basketball. Otherwise, we would not be able to appreciate the style of a legendary PG today.

After graduating from high school, Nash decided to join the NCAA. , he and his coach wrote letters of recommendation to more than two dozen top NCAA universities, but the answer from each university was the same: Thank you, no need. In the end, Nash was recruited by the little-known Santa Clara University. Nash is said to still have the returned letters.

In 1996, Nash participated in the NBA draft, but NBA scouts were generally not optimistic about Nash because of his poor physical fitness, so Nash was only selected by the Suns with the 15th overall pick. After staying with the Suns for two seasons, on the day of the 1998 draft, the Mavericks traded Bubba Wells, Martin Moosup and a first-round pick to acquire Nash from the Suns. From then on, the Wind Elf began the journey of experience.

In his first year with the Mavericks, Nash did not find his form, and what followed was ruthless booing from Dallas fans. With CUBAN taking ownership of the Mavericks, the Mavericks have undergone tremendous changes, and three carriages have led the Mavericks to explode together. In the following 2000-2001 season, the Mavericks finally returned to the playoffs after 11 years and have since become one of the league's top teams.

In 2004, perhaps due to the reincarnation of fate, Nash returned to Phoenix. Then came the overwhelming and dazzling offense, MVP for two consecutive years, Western Conference Finals, Best Coach and MIP. Nash has brought one surprise after another to Phoenix. I hope he can bring the biggest surprise to Phoenix in the near future.
