It was only after countless training and competitions with Zubac that Harden achieved Zubac’s thigh!

Zubac's strength is definitely underestimated! In the 23rd year of the playoffs, Westbrook was still there. Against the match, although the Clippers lost, Zubac's performance was that Ayton beat. At that time, I thought this kid could do it, and he was tough! Now Zubac is the top 5 center in the league in my heart.

Azu has made great progress, but it is completely a big deal to say that he is the biggest leg. Zubac made obvious progress on the defensive end, but part of the reason is Van Gundy's defensive system. Although the Clippers had many powerful defenders before, they have never been in a system. Dunn's existence also protected Azu well, so he could retreat with confidence.

Zubac improved his finishing ability at the basket. In the past, only the left hook was sure, but now both sides are accurate, and the offensive rebounding ability has also been greatly improved. The finishing level has improved, but one premise must be paid attention to. There is a Harden among his teammates. He can attract pincer attacks and pass the ball to Zubac in time. This is very important. To be honest, George Westbrook's pass was not so suitable for Zubac to catch. Harden passed this pass after countless training and games with Zubac.

In basketball at this stage, holding the ball is the engine for controlling the offense, and three-pointers are an indispensable means for every team. The era of hand-to-hand combat for big centers has passed. Now the heavy centers are 15 pick-and-roll, and then go down. The big centers are now more about the role of the defensive end. Zubac's offense and defense ends single-only looks at last season. Combined with the usage rate, he is already one of the best centers in the league. It is not possible to defend because of his size and footsteps.

But being named by the defender has become a joke for the big center in recent years, and Zubac is pretty good. Nowadays, there are not many similar big centers who can have such small hooks. Most of the centers trained by Brother Deng are of insufficient independent offensive ability, such as Asik, Capela, Zhao Si, Nene, orcs. Of course, there is no need to say about Embiid. In addition to Embiid, the above people are all types who can only get dunks and layups in the near-frame.

Simply put, it is the type of person who needs to put the ball into the basket when receiving the ball. His independent offensive ability is almost gone, and the requirements for point guards are extremely high. So we can't say that there is moisture, we can only say that the current big centers are like this, Jokic, Embiid, and Shen Jing are still rare. They are more at the basket on the defensive end.

But Zubac has a means, which is to hook, small hook, and even occasionally big hook, which is very threatening. He can eat cakes and hook and play back one-on-one. He is not old and has no hidden dangers of injury. What Zubac needs now is not a three-pointer, mid-range shooting, but a support ability. He can carry forward the small pass with one hand, and it will be perfect. He occasionally showed signs last season, and his ability in both evolution and overall defense is definitely not inferior to Shen Jing.
