Chapter 659 [Group Wisdom Unveiling Battle]
ESPN also launched a new player list this year, which ranks the strength of the league's players each season.
James ranks first, followed by Howard, Wade, Nowitzki, Durant, Paul, Yao Ming, Kobe...
As soon as this list came out, it was immediately frowned upon in the NBA fan base, attracting countless complaints.
It's only been a year since Howard was beaten by Yao Ming in the 2009 finals, and he was in the front row again.Many people think that this is because they don't want to admit that James and Wade, the two most powerful players in the NBA, have formed a team.
Yao Ming had 1 win and 6 losses in the preseason, and was looked down upon by experts, but he was still ranked ahead of Kobe. Many people's reactions were the same: Kobe only ranked eighth?
I have to say that ESPN is very good at playing, and the attraction of sports is not only the outcome, but also the topicality.
Who is stronger and who is weaker among players is a topic that runs through the entire history of sports. Every item is being compared, and no one can escape.People watch the Three Kingdoms Love Talk, Lu Er, Zhao San Dian Wei, and Jin Yong's martial arts. There are also martial arts rankings.As a media, it is a correct and worthy practice to promote this kind of discussion from a professional point of view, neither pandering to nor avoiding it.
ESPN did not do this by hand, but invited 210 basketball experts to score 1-10 points, and the average was obtained to obtain the final ranking.That is to say, if ESPN wants to use this list to black people, they must first convince these 210 people that they have the same idea.
These 210 people include website editors, radio anchors, senior reporters, data experts, ex-players, ex-coaches, transition players with NBA management experience, etc. They are the wisdom of the crowd that is closer to the public opinion.
Being looked down upon again and again, Kobe chose to remain silent.Although Comey thought it was a ranking that lacked respect, Bryant dared not speak harshly.He is even a little fortunate, because it is better to be undervalued than overvalued, especially since he has found that it is difficult for this Lakers to achieve good results in the new season.
The big three of the Cavaliers are really under great pressure, because they are so highly praised, and the media are consciously killing them, including Facebook.
Holding people up to a very high level, beyond their own abilities, and then suddenly falling down is probably one of the most sinister tricks in the world.Even if he can survive physically, he is definitely disheartened psychologically, because there is no higher place to start anew.
This year, as long as the Cavaliers can't win the championship, they will be a failure. Just wait to be drowned in the saliva of fans.
On October 10, the NBA's new season opener kicked off.
The Cavaliers VS Clippers were broadcast live in the United States, and the level of attention far exceeded the opener of the Spurs VS Mavericks.
People have seen a lot of "Bulls and Horses". Yang Rui fought against the Big Three with the rebuilt Clippers. This is the first time in NBA history, and the gimmicks are even more abundant.
The Clippers players came to the locker room early to chat, and the atmosphere was very warm.They all want to win, and they will prove themselves in the first battle.
Yang Rui entered the locker room, clapped his hands, gathered the players together, and said loudly: "Tell everyone good news, the outside world predicts the game, and most people are optimistic about the Cavaliers' victory. , will get a higher rating. I can't think of how the Cavaliers can break the zone defense, so we will definitely win."
The mentality of the players relaxed all of a sudden. Yang Rui is particularly good at despising the enemy strategically, paying attention to the enemy tactically, and enhancing the confidence of his team's players.
Yang Rui pulled over the tactical board in the locker room, took a few strokes with a pen, and marked the players' identities with numbers. "The key to winning today is the 122 zone defense. The Cavaliers lack three-point shooters. All you have to do is defend the penalty area. Chris (Paul) moves on the perimeter and follows the defense. It's no big surprise. Germany playing point guard..."
After talking about defense, Yang Rui drew another offensive tactics. "We mainly play pick-and-rolls, and the key lies in dislocation singles and empty cuts. DeAndre (Jordan) covers Chris in the middle, and Blake (Griffin) increases his running, otherwise we can't break the zone defense..."
Yang Rui arranged the positional battle in a targeted manner to ensure the speed of the defense. As long as the knights were not allowed to counterattack, their attack would be hindered. The main point of the first quarter was to stabilize the defense.
During the warm-up, Curry showed a good touch and made three-pointers in a row, but for the team to win better, he had to play off the bench.Yang Rui asked him to compete for the best sixth man this season and practice defense hard, at least not a black hole.
The Cavaliers are also practicing three-pointers, and they are not very good. Now Bosh has not increased his range, and it is mainly mid-range shooting.James' three-pointer strikes again and again.Although Miller is accurate, but will not start.
Zhang Lili said: "Yang Rui has the confidence to turn the Clippers into a championship contender. The Clippers are already very strong after Paul joined. They had a better record than the Cavaliers in the preseason. morale."
Yu Jia said with a smile: "I guess the Cavaliers are under a lot of pressure. They can't afford to lose. They hyped it up for a summer. If they lose in the first game, the Big Three will become a joke."
Clippers starting: Paul, Korver, Gay, Griffin, Jordan.
Korver's preseason performance was worthy of a three-year, 3 million contract, securing his starting position.
The 29-year-old Korver is 201cm tall and weighs 96kg. He is at the peak of his career. Last season, his three-point shooting rate was as high as 53.6%. He played three seasons under coach Jazz Sloan, and his defense has also improved a lot.
Korver's shooting is so good that the league's top stars will also be thrown away for several blocks. In the preseason, he averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game, and the shooting percentage was 47.2%.
Cavaliers starting: Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh, Varejao.
Adelman arranges the lineup based on the state of training. Chalmers has a mediocre physical fitness and has similar advantages to Korver.
To put it bluntly, this point guard has average organizational ability and will not show his ability. He passes the ball to the star after half-court dribbling, and honestly waits on the outside to pass the ball.
Chalmers, who shot 36.2 percent from three in the preseason, is the most accurate three-pointer in the Cavaliers' starting lineup, which is a tragedy.
Jordan easily beat Varejao with a jump ball, and the game started.
Paul received the ball on the perimeter and waited for his teammates to pull away. Jordan pulled out of the three-point line to cover Paul and blocked Wade. Paul went to the right and attracted Bosh to switch.
As soon as he tried it, Paul saw that the Cavaliers were zone defense and did not let Chalmers match him, so that he would have an advantage in singles with the ball.
Paul found a gap to distribute the ball to the middle, Jordan took the ball and cut the ball, the Cavaliers' formation shrank quickly, James retreated and Varejao blocked the penalty area.
If Jordan would cooperate, passing the ball to the left to Gay would be a good shot, but he didn't see his teammates at all. After catching the ball, all he saw was the basket. He jumped up and thought across Varejao Dunk.
Varejao, is that something that ordinary people can buckle up?When he was defending, his height seemed to be only 1.9 meters, and he didn't lift his arms. He half turned around and pretended to hide, with his shoulders just touching Jordan's crotch.
If this is true, Jordan will have to be like a lot of writers on Qidian Chinese.com.Fortunately, Jordan's jump was not so straight, and the consequence of being wrong was that he lost his center of gravity in the air, dropped the basketball, and fell headfirst.
Varejao also fell to the ground, much softer, but from the referee's point of view, he was trying to escape and was knocked down by Jordan.
Because Varejao was standing a little in front of the reasonable collision zone, the referee blew his whistle and sentenced Jordan to hit the ball with the ball, and the ball belonged to the Cavaliers.
Little Jordan was unharmed, and immediately got up to ask the referee for a theory. Yang Rui covered his face with one hand on the sidelines. This rough brother was too speechless.
