今年选秀班上最引人注目的国际人才之一终于出局了。塞尔维亚独角兽尼古拉·乔维奇在2022年NBA选秀中以第27顺位被迈阿密热火队选中。
球迷们起初嘲笑这位塞尔维亚人与现任MVP尼古拉·乔基奇的名字几乎相似。然而，乔维奇在掘金的表现与他的同胞有很大不同。首先，这位塞尔维亚人拥有2022年NBA选秀中最独特的技能之一，因为他是一个身高6英尺11英寸的瘦高个子，主要为球队打边锋。
这位塞尔维亚人最初在2021国际篮联19岁以下世界杯期间为塞尔维亚国家队踢出了精彩的比赛。尼古拉·乔维奇流畅的控球动作和进攻能力给许多NBA选秀球探留下了深刻印象。显然，这也给比赛组织者留下了深刻印象，他们让乔维奇进入了神秘的五场比赛。
乔维奇比赛中最大的平局是他在外线的投篮。这位瘦长的前锋有一种不可思议的能力，他可以通过各种运球动作为自己创造投篮机会，从而到达篮筐和中距离。这一点，再加上他前面提到的进攻技巧，使他成为NBA防守的潜在危险威胁。
与大多数潜在球员一样，乔维奇的比赛也令人担忧，尤其是在防守方面。然而，热火队信任他，在2022年NBA选秀中，他总成绩排名第27位。他们希望乔维奇在这方面有所改进，以便成为这个选秀班的杰出球员之一。

Heat select Nikola Jovic with 27th pick in 2022 NBA Draft
原文：
One of the most high-profile international talents in this year’s draft class is finally off the board. Nikola Jovic, the Serbian unicorn, has been selected by the Miami Heat with the 27th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Fans initially poked fun at the Serbian having a near-similar name as the current reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. However, Jovic plays a lot differently than his compatriot on the Nuggets. For one, the Serbian has one of the most unique skillset in the 2022 NBA draft, as he’s a long, lanky 6’11 guy who primarily plays on the wing for the team.
The Serbian initially turned heads during 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup with his stellar play for the Serbian national team. Nikola Jovic’s smooth, fluid motion with the ball and playmaking ability impressed many NBA draft scouts. Clearly, it also impressed the tournament organizers, who handed Jovic a spot in the Mythical Five of the tournament.
The biggest draw to Jovic’s game is his shot creation from the perimeter. The lanky forward has an uncanny ability to create shots for himself using various dribble moves to get to the rim and in the midrange. That, along with his aforementioned playmaking chops, makes him a potentially dangerous threat to NBA defenses.
As with most prospects, there are concerns surrounding Jovic’s game, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. However, the Heat is placing their trust on him by taking him 27th overall in the 2022 NBA draft. They are banking on improvements from Jovic on that side of the ball, in order to be one of the standout players of this draft class.
