Upon arrival in Croatia, the Ivica Zubac and the Ivica Zubac and that was stopped by the Study of Evening Television. One of the best NBA centers came according to the statue of the “basketball player”, the academic sculptor of Stipe Sikirica, which traditionally awarded the basketball player of the years.
And Ivica was sovereign The best Croatian basketball player in 2024 years But he was taken over by his award only after the end of the NBA season. And it’s a survey that lasts since 1978. years and Ivica is the fifth laureate that was born in the Mostar hospital.
It started with Drazen Dalipagićjust that initial year, 19 years later it was Josip Sesar (1997), then Zoran Planinić (2007 and 2012) In order to be borne from basketball players of births in Herzegovina, as the recorder of this election (eight times) imposed Bojan Bogdanovic.
Big Zu is, so calls him teammates from Clippers, the first center that got this award after ten years and Ante Tomić And only sixth center in 47 years of this election. If it suggests that the centers are harder to impose yourself considering that they are separated from the ball. Of course, if you are not Nikola Jokic So attacks play over you, writes the evening sheet.
Indeed, the impression is that External players are more easily qualified For such awards. Our centers are harder, especially in the start of careers, so we need to reach some status longer. And we are also doing a job that often goes unnoticed, especially by the layman that do not understand so much basketball. But I am also convinced that no team can go far away without a serious center.
And it is just a gauge example in that sense symptomatic. Everything worked was not seen in statistical columns, but they knew his teammates very well, so they nominated it for the best League defensivoc.
It’s how much you have blockades and won the balls don’t tell the whole story. That appearance is important in the racket, when the back that is in the penetration, when he saw a center, decide to return. We had The best percentage of defensive jump And some other things that are not seen in statistics and they are very important. I hold and I do a lot of things that the average viewer does not see, but the most important thing is to see my teammates and my coaches. And that it works.
Will recognize, and that is quite logical that it was hardest to keep his triple best played NBA league Nikola Jokic. What is his secret?
The secret is that He does not “rest” either in one attack. Always doing something, Even when there is no ball. No rival attack next to him cannot “rest”. As soon as you escape the concentration with a second, you look at the other side or straighten up in your knees, it’s over.
All this philosophy games in defense against centers, you learn the whole career, falls into the water against him. All you learned and everything you use against other centers is worth nothing. It is so diverse attacking and I against such a center I never played and I don’t know if he ever existed like that, He said a tooth.
