Ali Jin, the "ancestor of jump shot": The invention of jump shot is purely accidental and is called "original Jordan"

Jump shot is familiar to all basketball fans today, and now it is a common occurrence. However, at the beginning of the birth of basketball, the jump shot did not enter the room, but waited for the right time to appear. It was paul arizin, known as the "ancestor of jump shot", who brought this technology into the NBA and carried it forward.

1928 On April 9, Arikin was born in Philadelphia. He comes from an immigrant family. His father is French and his mother is Irish. He is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms. He is a small forward. It is worth mentioning that in his early years, Arikin was rejected by the school team when he was studying in the middle school attached to La Salle University. However, this did not bring Arikin back. He began to shuttle through major stadiums in Philadelphia to participate in amateur competitions, and his basketball skills also advanced by leaps and bounds.

While studying at Villanova University, Arikin participated in the league organized by the local youth Christian church. Once, Al Severance, coach of the men's basketball team at Villanova University, was deeply impressed after watching a game of Arikin. He found Arikin after the game and asked him if he would like to come to Villanova University. Arikin replied, "I am already a student in villanova."

Legend has it that Ali Jin scored 100 points in a single game at the university, but this has not been confirmed.

In the NBA draft of 1950, the Philadelphia Warriors took advantage of regional priority to recruit Arikin. In the rookie season, Arikin averaged 17.2 points and was elected as the best rookie. In the second season of his career, Arikin averaged 25.4 points per game and was elected as the scoring champion.

After serving for two years, Arikin's return in the 1954-55 season is still unstoppable. 1956-57 season was elected scoring champion for the second time with 25.6 points per game. And his most boastful achievement during this period is undoubtedly in the season of 1955-56. He joined hands with center Neil Johnston and led the Warriors to win the second championship in team history. In this way, Arikin and Johnston became household names in the early NBA.

Since then, Arikin has worked with many superstars, including joe fulks, Tom Gola and Chamberlain. Before Warriors 1962 moved to San Francisco, Arikin decided to retire out of his love for Philadelphia. Then he was not idle, and he came back in the second league EBL.

At that time, he often played ball in the ballroom, and the floor of the ballroom was slippery, forcing him to jump up and shoot. Over time, all his shots became jumpers.

In addition, Arikin's defense is also very commendable, and he was even nicknamed "capable Paul" by his teammates. At the same time, his endurance is good. 195 1 year 65438+February 3 1 day, Warriors and Lakers played three overtime games, and Arikin actually played 63 minutes. This record was broken by Jordan 40 years later. It is worth mentioning that some media once called Arikin "the original Jordan".
