The return of the Monday meeting made in Tribune 47. Fourteenth episode of season 2 of the ref, this time, we talk about Nadir Hifi and John Wick. Two snipers, two madmen and two unique personalities. So, do you have the ref?
Today, it’s going to bomb and it’s going to shake. We managed to find three points in common between our two protagonists and it is very different from the other episodes.
You know our two headliners, we will start without delay.
The first thing to know about our two men is that they are crazy snipers. We insist a little on the second word because that is what characterizes them.
The little prince of Paris is with a balloon, and John Wick is with a gun. Obviously, we advise the youngest to have fun with the first object. Nadir Hifi does it very well and thanks to that, he shakes the nets by shooting from a long distance. The crazy thing about him is that he never stops, as if it were automatic. He shoots, and shoots, and shoots, and shoots again. For example, against Alba Berlin during the 6th day of the EuroLeague, he had fun with 19 3-point shots attempted. He scored 7, a success rate of almost 37%, which is not too bad.
If we’re talking about John Wick, watch the movie trailers. The former hitman shoots with precision with his pistol and never misses his target. That’s what he was known for in his job, right?
As you can imagine, precision is a common point, but given their reputation, it is logical that this asset is essential.
Let’s move on to the second common point. We told you, John Wick is a former hitman. Throughout the films, his skills will be put to the test, and he will show that he has not lost his touch. Coming out of retirement, people ask if he is back and he will confirm it.
In the case of Nadir Hifi, we know him as a reliable shooter, but also clutch. He is sometimes capable of assassinating teams, nailing the end of matches with his shooting. He takes responsibility, bears his… well you understand, and often it works.
For NBA followers, Stephen Curry or Damian Lillard are renowned in the exercise and the word “insolence” appears several times in the description. In the case of Nadir Hifi, it’s the same and this ability to kill matches thanks to his reliable shot, this brings a hitman side to his game.
Our two protagonists are therefore experts in the field, obviously, each on their own level.
Finally, we’re going to talk a little about the face. No, not the physical appearance but what characterizes them. Let’s explain, when we think of John Wick, who do we think of? Logically, to Keanu Reevessince the actor is the one who plays him in each film. Just like we think of Daniel Radcliffe pour Harry Potter or even to Robert Downey Jr pour Iron Man. There are other examples that can be cited, but you get the idea.
Well John Wick is Keanu Reeves and no one else.
Regarding Nadir Hifi, what is the main characteristic on his face that defines him, that makes his trademark? Amara Sysaid in a recent interview with First Team, it’s his hair. Once, he tried braids, and it was a shock, we wanted to see the afro again
“I said to him: what do you do with your braids? You are condemned to keep the afro until the end of your career, it’s your identity. People when we tell them Nadir Hifi, and they look for who it is, they say oh is it the one with the afro? »
When you think of Nadir Hifi, you immediately think of this afro. His hair blowing in the wind when he runs or jumps are powerful images. Once again, Nadir Hifi is afro.
Two crazy snipers, two hitmen on their scale and two very distinct faces. Wouldn’t Nadir Hifi be the John Wick of French basketball?
