Andrei Kirilenko in the NBA development process 10

Andrei Kirilenko was born in Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurt Autonomous Republic of the Russian Federation, which is home to the most famous military factory in Russia. It was there that Mika Kalashnikov made his first basketball and grew up in St. Petersburg to learn professional basketball. Before the age of 16, he played for the local team Spartak St. Petersburg in the Russian League, becoming the youngest player in the history of the league.

Two years later he left St. Petersburg and joined the CSKA team of the ** Army in Moscow. He won the league championship in his first year and was named to the All-Star team of the Russian League that year. In 1999, he was the best rookie in Europe, and at the 4th European All-Star Game at the end of 1999, he was the youngest player to grab 10 points and 8 rebounds for the Eastern Army, which contributed to the victory of the Eastern Army.

Andrei Kirilenko joined the Utah Jazz with the 24th pick in the first round in 1999. He was only 18 years and 4 months old. Became the youngest foreign player ever drafted in the NBA Draft.

AK played for CSKA Moscow for another two years, playing in the Europa League. and became the first player to score a triple-double in the Europa League. 13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 steals.

At the Sydney Olympics, the Russian team's No. 13 main power forward. He joined the Utah Jazz in 2001. After sitting on the bench for 2 years, re-studying, he became the main player of the Jazz team in 2003, and signed with the Utah Jazz for six years in 2005 with the NBA maximum salary.

Since his name, Andrei Kirilenko, is simply known as AK, his teammate Quincy Lewis suggested that he choose the number 47 to form the AK-47 designation.

Kirilenko combines the stability of European players with the toughness of American players, and although he looks a little weak in stature, his tough style on the inside often brings unexpected help to the team. His offense is mostly based on mid-range shooting and strong inside attack, and his shooting is not very consistent. Defensively, due to his good jumping, long arms, and good block awareness, AK has become the league's most feared defensive player and a master of blocking.

He can also use his long arms to create break-offs when defending perimeter players, creating a fast break.

In the summer of 2011, when the NBA was suspended, Kirilenko returned to Russia to join the Moscow Army, and led the team to a runner-up in the UEFA Champions League in the 11-12 season, losing to Olympiacos in the final. [1]​

Andrei Kirilenko is now a free agent and will not play for any team for the time being.

In June 2013, Kirilenko announced that he would become a free agent after jumping out of his final year of his contract worth $10.2 million.

In July 2013, Kirilenko signed a contract with the Nets.

On December 11, 2014, the Brooklyn Nets reached a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers for Andrei Kirilenko. In addition to sending AK47, the Nets also traded a 2020 second-round pick, a 2018 second-round pick, some cash, and will get Brandon Davis from the 76ers. The 33-year-old Kirilenko is in the final year of his contract, and his salary for the 14-15 season is about $3.32 million.

Under Nets coach Hollins, AK47 faded out of the team's main rotation. In 14 '15, he played only seven times until he was traded, averaging points, rebounds, and assists in minutes per game, all of which were career lows.

After being traded, AK47 refused to report to the team and was even punished by the 76ers. On February 22, 2015, the 76ers announced that the team had laid off forward Andrei Kirilenko.

It's really back to Moscow ** Army.

Kirilenko is a very well-rounded NBA athlete in all aspects. His skills are very good, and he can often fill in the technical statistics.

Kirilenko is a strong NBA player, and his blocking ability is definitely top-notch.

This player's personal ability is still relatively strong, and his strength is relatively stable.

There is a saying in the NBA that is widely circulated - offense wins the box office, defense wins championships. In other words, for a team to achieve excellent results, it must have excellent defense as a guarantee. So for a player, block data is the most intuitive embodiment of defensive ability, and the NBA will also select the block king of the season every season.

Generally speaking, block kings are interior players because of their height and reach advantage that allows them to easily complete blocks.

AK47 "Kirilenko.

But there is one player who has created a miracle, he is the only small forward in the league to win the block king, and he has scored Kobe Bryant 4 times in one round! This player is the famous "AK47" Kirilenko, who once accomplished a feat in the 2004-2005 season, that is, he beat Camby to win the block king with the average number of blocks per game, you must know that the players who competed for the block king that year also included superstars like Duncan and O'Neal!

And Kirilenko is also a very versatile player, he is an efficient and selfless team attacking player on the offensive end; At the same time, his ability to connect teams is also excellent, and there is basically nothing he can't do. Therefore, many people say that Kirilenko, who plays as a small forward, is actually more suitable for the current small-ball era, because of his excellent defensive ability and ability to switch defenses, as well as his attributes of an all-round forward, are perfectly suited to the current small-ball era.

Anyone who watched Kirilenko's game should understand the horror of this player back then, and the game against Kobe Bryant who hated Kobe Bryant 4 times in one round has become a masterpiece of his career. To be precise, Kirilenko scored four Hobe Bryant in a minute and a half, but unfortunately the last block was whistled for a foul.

However, according to Kobe's stubborn character, if the first quarter of the game was not over at that time, he would definitely continue to compete with Kirilenko, and he might be capped again. Objectively speaking, Kirilenko's comprehensive ability is not at the top level in the NBA, but at his peak, he is definitely the championship puzzle that all championship teams dream of!

I think Kirilenko is a very good player. He's a great defensive stalwart, and he's got a lot of talent on the offensive end, which makes him a jack-of-all-trades on the NBA court. It's a rare good player.

The star who belongs to the championship puzzle has a particularly well-rounded ability and good physical fitness, but he can't be the boss to lead the team to good results.

He's a great player. I appreciate his ability to bounce and of course his overall quality is not bad.

Kirilenko has dedicated most of his career to the Jazz, and this is where he made a name for himself and made the fierce AK47 known to fans around the world.

Kirilenko is not a superstar, but his presence and influence on the pitch are immense. He has the advantages of a European player and the fierce and tough style of an American player, with an offensive and defensive ability, excellent defensive skills and top-level defensive ability that is destined to make him an indispensable member of the team and the type of player that the coach likes the most.

Kirilenko can only be regarded as a good starter, and he is only the team's third choice for the Jazz, and the all-round ability means that all abilities are not outstanding.

As far as I know, the games I've watched have Jazz + Timberwolves + Nets 11-12 years back to Russia to play in the Euroleague ** Army.

Moscow ** Army, Jazz, Timberwolves, Nets.
