Average of 9+6! Howard, who is very similar to Lakers championship season, the Warriors have to hurry up, otherwise it will be gone

We all know that the Lakers regained the NBA championship after ten years. James and Mei play an important role in the championship, but the performance of some role players cannot be ignored, such as Howard.

Explanation point 1: Defense.

1, against Jokic for 24 minutes and 52 seconds, the latter made 8 of 16 shots, with a shooting rate of 50%;

2, against Nurkic for 11 minutes and 14 seconds, the latter made 4 of 11 shots, with a shooting rate of 36.4%;

3, against Adebayo for 9 minutes and 46 seconds, the latter made 2 of 5 shots, with a shooting rate of 40%.

As for non-core inside counterpoint data such as Whiteside, Plumley, and Meyers Leonard, they are not listed. According to the comparison data, at least on the defensive end of the Nuggets Series, Howard's role is no less than that of James and Mei.

Explanation point 2: Attack.

In the entire playoffs, Howard made 18 appearances and made a total of 57 shots, of which 49 were from the basket and had a shooting rate of 69.4%. Just look at the group comparison:

1, Antetokounmpo's value is 71.4%;

2, Gobert's value is 72.3%;

3, Adams' value is 68.2%.

mainly ends at the basket, which is one of them. Second, Howard's finishing efficiency is not inferior to any inside player. It can be effectively grasped when opportunities arise.

To sum up, we can understand its role on Howard as sharing the pressure of protecting the basket on the defensive end, and stably "eat cake" at the offensive end.

At the same time, according to the NBA China official website, Horford still expects to join the Warriors but still does not rule out the possibility of retirement.

For Horford, I think it's very similar to Howard in the Lakers' championship season.

First, offensive. In the 24-25 season, Horford made a total of 461 shots, of which 314 were from outside the three-point line and had a shooting rate of 36.3%. Just looking at the shooting rate, look at the group comparison:

1, Naz Reed's value is 37.3%;

2, Jaren Jackson Jr.'s value is 37.5%;

3, Lopez's value is 37.3%. According to the comparison data, Horford's three-pointer rate among players in the same position is the elite level.

Second, defense. 259 times interfere with the opponent's shots less than 6 feet can limit the shooting rate from 63.8% to 57.2%. Regarding the efficiency of basket protection, it depends on the comparison of the data:

1, Evan Mobley's value is 54.4%;

2, Boltel's data is 59.0%;

3, Zubac's value is 56.9%. According to the comparison data, among the players in the same position, Horford's basket protection level is also at the elite level.

For this reason, Horford is very similar to Howard, we can understand it as:

First of all, both of them can effectively grasp the opportunity when it appears on the offensive end. The difference is that Howard is at the basket and Horford is outside the three-point line. But the tactical role played is the same - effectively converting opportunities into scores.

Secondly, both players on the defensive end have good performances in protecting the basket, which makes it difficult for offensive players to gain advantage.

To put it more, Horford averages 9+6 per game and Horford averages 7+7 per game are very similar.

Of course, as the news just now shows, the Warriors have to hurry up. To be precise, we quickly reached an agreement with Kumingga - either renew the contract and stay in the team or sign and leave the team. Otherwise, if Horford really chooses to retire, it would be more than worth the cost of the Warriors.

Finally, let's wait and see if the Warriors can get Horford.
