Magic Johnson, how to do magic?

The Magician's pass has been seen in the collection. Show time, you can lead a fast attack alone, and you can fight blitz.

When the Magician entered the industry in 1979, he said, "Playing basketball is for me four people, everyone runs together and lays together."

Promoting defense to offense and leading the teammates to attack the basketball, the Magician does not think of being a second person.

In the fall of 1981, Lakers' champion coach Wester Hurd (not Mr. West) wanted the Lakers to play more positional battles, but the offensive tactics were too cumbersome and they stepped down. Riley came up and let the magician run around at will. As a result, the Lakers were about to whirlwind that year. The original words of Spurs coach Albeck in the 1982 Western Conference Finals, "I have never seen a team so fast, but the Celtics were so fast twenty years ago in the video tape."

The Magician said that he actually didn't need specific tactics, just everyone ran to play. He was able to find endless routes for his teammates to attack the basket, and pass the ball and lead the people forward to attack the basket.

Before 1983, the Magic was the best one-stop dunk monster in the NBA. In the first game of the 1983 Finals, he dribbled past most of Philadelphia teams in one-stop in the backcourt, and dunked directly after one step in the free throw line - he hit Dr. J and was called for a technical foul.

What is it like when he needs to change direction? It is more cost-effective to continuously change the direction behind the ball, or use the back and half-turn. He also knows that he has a good physique, so he can make more use of it!

In the first three games of the 1984 finals and the 1985 finals, the Magic had many games of "one-stop in the backcourt, a small change in direction with the right hand control, and a change in direction behind the dribble behind the scenes". Have a great time playing.

Thinking about it again, he is 206 cm tall, it's simply.

The so-called SHOW TIME Lakers in the 1980s have never been before. Riley cannot copy them when he went to New York and Miami. To put it bluntly: that is, the Magician dribbles alone and counterattacks, and the others of the Lakers follow up. One person represents a style. He has to get off to the crowd and find his teammates. This is much harder than clearing the field and dribbling through one person.

Rookie Year Magician 7.3 assists and 4 turnovers. In 1984, 13.1 assists and 4.6 turnovers. High-risk and high-reward style. The same opportunity, as stable as Stockton would hesitate, and would rather wait for a more stable opportunity, and the magician would pass it directly, playing with the heartbeat.

Once he discovers a certain weakness of his opponent, he will use the pass to hammer you until he dies. He just likes to pass high-risk and high-return passes.

Of course, this thing is a double-edged sword.

Magicians relied on counterattacks in the early days. So in the 1983 Finals, Philadelphia's strategy: Whenever Moses Malone shoots, Philadelphia will return to defense with three. Moses caught the frontcourt rebounds alone to avoid the Lakers from taking a fast break. As a result, Philadelphia won the championship 4-0 by the Lakers.

Four games after the 1984 finals, the Celtics used Dennis Johnson to stubbornly prevent the Magician from getting started. The Celtics won the championship, and the Bostonian also said that the Magician was not magic but tragic.

Later, the Magician became an outstanding halftime scorer and won the first MVP: that was 1987.

Later, he grew older, his back skills matured, he also shot from a fixed-point long-range shot, and his half-time command was also skilled, so he could better fight positional battles.

Usually, the video highlights we see, like West, the Magician likes to dribble with his right hand and keeps driving. Less gorgeous crotch changes directions or the like.

But there is a reason.

Jordan scored 63 points in 1986, and he relied on continuous dribbling under his crotch to shake Bird; five years later, he basically didn't need to do it, he was just an in and out or a hesitation, stopping the opponent and leaving you. Because the latter is simple and capable.

West only likes dribbling with his right hand because he is ready to make a high shot and turn over and jump shot.

The magician does not change directions in front of the body, nor does he change hands repeatedly, because his priority is not breakthrough, but passing the ball. He is used to steadily carrying the ball with his right hand, watching people, and ready to send passes at any time, without hindering his speed of travel.

In my later years, magicians liked to carry people with their butts, watch their teammates move and pass on them. In fact, this reflects dribbling. The rhythm of dribbling and passing in basketball is as difficult as the grasp of dribbling and passing in football. The moment your teammates’ opportunity comes out, you have to pass it immediately. This feeling is extremely delicate and reflects your skills the most.

It's a pity: The Magician actually retired at the peak, less than 32 years old.

In the first three years of retirement, he averaged 23+8+13MVP, 22+7+12MVP, and then 19+7+13. The regular season MVP only lost to Jordan and only lost to Jordan in the finals.

He scored 43 points in the two games eliminated in the 1990 playoffs. In the 1991 playoffs, he played 21 assists and 38 points in one game against Dameng; he played 44 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists in one game against the Warriors. His last finals before retirement - the Bulls' championship game - 16 points, 11 rebounds and 20 assists.

At that time, he was still the second person in the world outside of Jordan; he was exploring a very dominant half-court style: a perfect combination of misplaced + goal-scoring.

However, HIV.

Nash, Kidd, Stockton and the Magic (and Spain's Jose Calderon) have one thing similar:

They usually dribble very high, and they need to have delicate speed change and jerks, which is also a moment.

Perhaps because several of them drive the ball, they drive the full-game scanner every time they dribble. For them, dribbling is just a means of passing the ball. Now when it comes to Mark Jackson, everyone must think that he is a former assist king who only relies on his butt. But in the 1980s, he was a fancy and typical New York point guard.

Many dribble masters danced and pulled the ball in their early years, and in their later years they liked to carry people with their butts and shoulders: turn around, turn half of them, and walk in one step.

From 2019 to the present, the top five assists in the regular season: Young, Jokic, Harden, Paul, and Luca.

Except for Yang who is thin, the other four are usually the ones who are slowly and dependent on their butts - but they can always find a pass window, and when they need to get rid of it, they will move out of their positions in a flash.

"Playing basketball is for me four people, everyone runs together and lays together."

The passer master ended up with different paths.

Yesterday, the magician's 66th birthday.
