Mike Miller, I wonder if you still have any impression of him? The specialties of playing mainly include excellent outside shooting ability and high basketball IQ. He is an excellent outside pitcher, with a career three-point shooting percentage of up to 40.4%, a soft touch, high shooting points, and first-class shooting ability at open positions. In addition, he has a high IQ in basketball and is selfless in passing. Although he does not have a very gorgeous pass technique, he can grasp the passing opportunity just right and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Fans who have followed the Heat Big Three that year should remember Mike Miller's performance in the fifth game of the 2012 Finals. At that time, he returned with a back injury, making 7 of 11 shots in the game, including 7 of 8 three-pointers, efficiently scoring 23 points and 5 rebounds, helping the Heat defeat the Thunder 4-1 to win the championship. In the fourth quarter of Game 6 of the 2013 Finals, Miller still received the ball and hit a three-pointer while his left foot slippers were dropped, forcing the Spurs to call a timeout, and the Heat finally won the game.

The hot search terms after the game were: "It's not naive that you beat you, and there's no shoes."

Recently, Mike Miller participated in a podcast program and exposed a little information on the show. It was during the Nuggets' period. He said: "I was 38 years old at that time. The Nuggets boss found me and asked me to teach a rookie in the team, and I agreed. But he spent three consecutive days. It's really unbearable to be late."

"On the first day, I asked him to meet at the stadium at 9:00 a.m., but he arrived at 9:15 a.m., and I didn't care at that time. Anyway, this is not my duty, and it was said by the boss. After the training, I asked him to meet at 9:00 tomorrow."

"The next day, he was later than the previous day, and he arrived at 9:30 a.m. I started to feel a little emotional, but still with He finished training and told him that he would meet at 9 o'clock tomorrow. I specifically emphasized his tone and made him think he should pay more attention. "

"I didn't expect that on the third day, he came later. I waited for him for an hour before he arrived. I couldn't help it and directly found the boss and said I wouldn't teach him anymore. "

"I don't want to say who he is. It's a lottery show anyway, but this young man is really too indulging himself. He didn't let his talent be fulfilled in the NBA. He left the NBA early. You know that talent is indeed important, but hard work and self-discipline are equally important. It can determine how far you can go in the NBA in the future. I have seen many talented players and played with very self-disciplined players, so I understand very well what the connection and difference between the two is."

So, who will it be? Miller spent the last two years of his career in the Nuggets, that is, the 15-16 season and 16-17 season. Who were the Nuggets' lineup at that time? After roughly checking, the main players include Harris, Mudier, Farid, Gallinari, and Jokic.

At that time, the Nuggets gave up Nurkic and chose Jokic as their future training target. From now on, this is definitely a very correct decision. In the 2015-16 season, Jokic played 80 games and started 55 games, and averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds per game. In the 2016-17 season, Teacher Yo began to rise, averaging 16.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Since then, he has been out of control and has gradually become the number one player in the active league.

So, who is the person McMiller is talking about?
