NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 286 Ranking Controversy

"One day of training is over!"

In the training hall, Wang Zelin was sweating profusely. After finishing his previous personal affairs, he started his own training plan.

Unfortunately, his progress has been significantly slower than last year.

In other words, the strength has improved to a certain level, and it is extremely difficult to make further progress.

But Wang Zelin has no reason to give up, because he knows where the limit of his ability is...

So what if progress is slow?

That is also progress.

How many players have spent the whole summer just to gain a little improvement in their personal strength.

In contrast, he is much luckier!
Because he has a system, in disguise, he has a strength progress bar, and he will not let go of training until he reaches the end point.

Besides, he is only in his 20s, and he is at the age of hard work. Proper enjoyment can be used as a seasoning agent for a boring life. If you enjoy it too much, you will be really sorry for living a new life.

……

During the time when Wang Zelin stayed at home and retreated silently, there were many sensational events outside.

For example, the gas bomb incident in Syria, the opening of the 12th National Games, the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft, the setting of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, etc...

The above are all world-class events. Wang Zelin just paid attention to them casually and then stopped watching them. Instead, he focused more on the NBA.

After all, if there is no accident, he will spend more than ten years here.

The NBA is also quite lively recently.

There is a gossip that the league chairman David Stern is getting worse day by day, and the time for the alliance's successor Adam Silver to take office is approaching...

Another source said: Mr. Warcraft, who just fled Los Angeles on July 7 this year and finalized a 6-year 4 million dollar contract with Mosaic, has a very harmonious relationship with his new partner James Harden.

Regarding this, Wang Zelin chuckled: Can you be unhappy when two nightclub lunatics are teammates?

There is also news that Derrick Rose, who left the court due to injury for 17 months, is basically determined to recover from the injury, and further plans to return to the Bulls preseason game next month.

The youngest regular season MVP in history!

In one sentence, it fully describes what a genius Rose was back then, as well as his popularity in the league and in the hearts of fans around the world.

Rose is back!

It became the most exciting news in early September.

Until September 9, a piece of news successfully snatched away the enthusiasm for Rose's comeback.

On September 9, U.S. time, "ESPN" and "TrueHoop" jointly launched the ranking of NBA active players for the third consecutive year. In the next few days, it will be updated from No. 17 to No. 3 in order.

In the first period on the 17th, players from the 1th to the 411th were brought.

I have to say that although many people hate ESPN, it is really unreal that ESPN has become the most famous sports TV network in the world today.

As long as there is selfishness and desire, people cannot escape the words fame and fortune.

The so-called ranking list of active players just captures people's general pursuit of fame and fortune. No wonder it can be popular all over the world.

This ranking refers to the opinions of the ESPN season preview expert group, and evaluates the expected performance of the players this season from the production volume, and then draws a value, based on which the ranking is based.

The specific method is: each member of the expert group will score the player between 0 and 10, and the final calculated average is the player's ranking points.

Needless to say, many stars also care about their rankings in their hearts.

Among the fans who appeared on the list on the first day, there were several familiar faces.

For example, James White, who is ranked 474th, this guy's status in the hearts of fans is not necessarily lower than that of some NBA stars.

No way, who made this guy's alias the Ultimate Dunk King!

The dunk is the most fan-absorbing item in basketball.

As for White, it can be said that he has achieved the ultimate dunk.

At least in the hearts of Chinese fans, White did carry a lot of their expectations.

The matter of Mo G has not yet happened. Wang Zelin wants the Portland Trail Blazers to replace the Mosaic team and become the home team in the hearts of Chinese fans. There is still a big gap.

Dayao's imprint on this team is indeed too deep!
In addition to White, there are also Kwame Brown, who was handpicked by Jordan back then and is now ranked 450th, and Quentin Richardson, the 444 All-Star three-pointer who is ranked 05th.

It is worth mentioning that due to the impact of the XD scandal, the ranking of the Lakers' two-time champion and left-handed magician Lamar Odom dropped directly from 130th last season to 462nd...

Even if there is still some time before the release of the players on the list ends, he is very likely to become the player with the fastest decline on this list.

Time flies, and by the end of September, the player rankings for the 9-2013 season have all been announced.

The first place is still the little emperor LeBron James.

In fact, he has been No. 2011 on the list since 1, the first year the list was held.

This year is the third year in a row!
And compared to last year, James' personal selection points have finally completed the leap from 9.99 points to a full score of 10 points!

This is the only one on the list!
But this is not surprising. After all, James has just completed two consecutive championships, and has shown a great possibility of winning the third consecutive championship, and then building a dynasty. It is normal for him to be in this position.

The second place is Kevin Durant. His position has not fluctuated like last year, and he continues to secure the title of "Second Millennium".

The meme of "Du Lao Er" has recently begun to circulate.

It doesn't take much to know that in a mansion in Oklahoma, several more iPhones are about to suffer.

The third place is the Clippers chum Chris Paul, the number one point guard in active service, and he deserves it. He replaced Dwight Howard, who was No.3 last year.

And the man who once changed James alone is gone forever.

The 4th place...somewhat unexpectedly, is the bearded golfer James Harden, who has completed a leap forward directly from the 26th place last year.

The fifth place is Durant's teammate, Turtle Russell Westbrook.

The sixth place is also very unexpected. It is the newly comeback Bulls leader, Derek Rose.

I haven't played for almost two years, and once he came back, he soared to the top 10 on the list, which shows how much the outside world expects of Rose.

It's a pity that Fengchen Rose will never come back.

No. 7 Dwight Howard, who just moved to Houston, fell from the TOP3 player last season to No. 7.

The league's first center?

I don't know how many people are laughing behind their backs!
The 8th place is a brand new player... the leading center of the Portland Trail Blazers ~ Wang Zelin!
Oh!
The rankings suddenly became interesting.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that ESPN is making a fuss.

One is the starting center of the Western Conference Finals team, and the other is Howard, who didn't even play in the playoffs. Putting Wang Zelin behind Howard, saying that it was not intentional, is insulting.

No matter what ESPN's starting point is, they have succeeded in one thing. They have successfully angered a beast in Portland!
"Disgusting me on purpose, right? Then you just wait for a slap in the face!" When the phone swiped here, Wang Zelin's expression became meaningful.

It was the first time he hoped to fight Mosaic so much, and he must train that happy beast well then.

The last two of the top ten are Warriors head Stephen Curry and Cavaliers head Kyrie Irving.

After the top ten list was sent out, the fans suddenly remembered a person who had been ignored.

What about No. 24 in Los Angeles?

oh!He was ranked 17th by ESPN this season.

Wait, 17th?

This appears to be the first time in the millennium that Bryant has dropped into the top 10...

"Marc Gasol, Kevin Love, Tony Parker, Paul George... These guys are actually ahead of me, what?"

In a mansion in Los Angeles.

After reading the list, Kobe was so angry that he picked up the basketball and walked to the basement.

ESPN's approach successfully angered this poisonous snake!

Presumably, after the start of the new season, there will be one more member of the army ready to face ESPN.

……

portland.

"Second! This is really wonderful!"

At the same time, after seeing that Kobe was only ranked 17th on the list, Wang Zelin was immediately amused when he thought that Kobe was annoyed at this time, and even the anger that Howard was ahead of him disappeared a little.

To be honest, it was difficult for him to understand such an arrangement.

You must know that Kobe was still a first-team winner last year, averaging 28+5+6 per game, and his efficiency is a career high.

The point is, the Lakers didn't make the playoffs!

This means that Kobe did not suffer a ruptured Achilles tendon like the original history!
The fangs of the Black Mamba have not been pulled out, are ESPN people sand sculptures?

Just because the Lakers didn't make the playoffs last season, ESPN came up with this kind of trick. I'm really not afraid of being bitten back!

Some media people with excellent sense of smell came to Los Angeles immediately, because they knew very well that according to the character of the Black Mamba, can they endure this kind of humiliation?

If he thinks too much, he will definitely fight back immediately.

Even if it's just language.

really.

In an interview on October 10, Kobe blatantly said: "The people at ESPN are a bunch of SBs!"

Very straightforward!Very volute!
Not long after, the Lakers officially announced that the player training time was advanced.

According to unknown gossip: During the training camp, the basket in the Lakers training hall was smashed and crooked several times.

After learning everything, some media people seemed to have found the wealth code, and began to write articles:
"What? Kobe can only be ranked 17th, so is it possible that the 14 players ahead of him need to prepare for a urine test?"

"We must be clear that the team record does not represent individual performance. If Kobe, who averaged 28 points per game last season, can only rank 15th, then what's the matter with Derek, who has not played for a year and can still be ranked in the top ten?"

"For a player who was the winner of the best team last season and a top ten player in the league, even if he gets older and the team's performance declines, he should still be in the top 10. I don't think there will be so many players in the league whose court ability will surpass Kobe!"

For the intensified remarks, ESPN finally responded when the heated discussion reached its peak.

An expert who specializes in data theory came forward: "Through the comparison of last season's performance and contribution to the team, based on Kobe's injuries for many years and his age after playing for another year, I really think that the 15th is already very generous! If it is not for the respect factor of veterans, I don't even think Kobe should be in the first 20 years!"

It should be said that it is ESPN, Corvo is hacked!

Or the naked, blatant kind.

When Kobe saw the news, he laughed disdainfully and replied on social media: "I will let you know what real generosity is! I will go all out in the new season, even though I am only a player ranked 17th in the league!"

Kobe's prestige and huge influence quickly formed two factions in the outside world.

The flames of war between the two sides are burning more and more, and this is really what ESPN hopes. They are not worried that Kobe will not accept the move.

If you don't understand, he is not the proud black mamba!

So, all this is a conspiracy from beginning to end.

As for slapping faces...

Just kidding, do media people still care about face?
No, it should be said that, do they still have face?
……

a few days later.

Wang Zelin has already returned to the capital of the Celestial Dynasty, and climbed the Great Wall with his teammates once.

There is one thing to say, there are really many people climbing the Great Wall, and they are really tired.

But whenever he heard the exclamation words from his teammates, he still felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.

Once again praise the greatness of the motherland!

"Hey, Steven, hurry up, the young guy is not as fast as the old lady next to him!"

Standing on the ladder, Wang Zelin looked back at a rookie selected by the team in this year's draft, and couldn't help laughing.

Steven Adams!

The famous card front in the future.

Due to Wang Zelin's little suggestion during this year's draft, now, his waist, neck, and between his hands... are full of large and small luggage.

Wang Zelin has no experience of being treated as a younger brother by an old man in the team, and he has never experienced the NBA tradition of playing with rookies such as carrying bags, buying water, and stuffing popcorn in the car in away games.

But that doesn't mean I hate this NBA tradition.

Instead, he's having fun with it right now!

After all, everyone else is a thousand-year-old daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law, but he is doing well here, and he directly overcame the road that others have walked for several years.

"understood."

Adams replied angrily.

The young Aquaman hasn't grown a beard yet, and he's still a creamy kid. Bullying the Aquaman in this period still has a general charm.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that you are not happy!"

Wang Zelin narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"No, I'm more than happy."

Adams reacted like a cat whose tail was stepped on, quickly speeding up and overtaking Wang Zelin.

Did he really think he didn't hear the threat inside?

Whenever he said he was not happy, this guy would definitely find an opportunity to practice alone with him.

The good name is "training newcomers", but in fact it is just to satisfy my own taste of "bullying the weak".

Recalling the beating he suffered because of his youth and frivolity during the first training camp, Adams' legs became more motivated.
