Chapter 622 I Dream Like That

At four o'clock on the third, the Kings team rushed to the Magic home court.

Su Yang found Brogdon: "We will continue to arrange you to start tonight, as a small forward, against Aaron Gordon..."

Between the words, elaborate on what should be paid attention to, especially Aaron Gordon's post-up singles. The main point is that Gordon looks like a muscular guy, but in fact his skills are relatively delicate, and his golf quotient is also very good. The offensive rebound situation.

After the words fell, Brogdon hurriedly replied: "In terms of height, the gap between me is a bit big, I am worried that it will..."

Against Gordon, Brogdon's biggest disadvantage is indeed height and weight. After all, there is a difference of nearly 10 centimeters, but there is no difference in weight. Gordon's height is thin, while Brogdon's height is heavy. suffer.

"Don't worry, Giannis and George will fully press the rhythm to prevent the Magic from setting off a shock wave. As long as you fall into the position, you can boldly go around and restrict Gordon from receiving the ball, or you can let Gordon go inside. Cousins ​​and the others A defense for you..."

The Magic sent Oladipo away in the offseason, reused Fournier, Vucevic and Gordon, and traded Ibaka to improve the striker and overall height, but it also led to a significant drop in the team's long-range shots. Simply and roughly pass the containment restriction.

"Then let me try..."

Brogdon nodded dubiously, Su Yang didn't feel entangled in his eyes, knowing that it is human nature to worry about height.

After finishing the conversation, I answered next to the coaching staff and happened to hear assistant coach Mike Brown discussing the new changes in the Magic.

"I just saw a reporter from the Orlando Star complain, saying that Frank Vogel took office, not only did not improve the defensive level of the Magic, but instead led to an increase in the Magic's average loss per game, mocking Vogel's so-called defensive coach name, it is a bluff ..."

After Brown finished speaking, he grinned and spread his hands and looked around the coaches, as if to say, "Do you think this is funny?" Su Yang took the lead in laughing.

Di Brown and the others also laughed.

Reporters are still too amateurish. The Magic’s average points per game increase. You don’t need to look at the data and videos to find out more reasons than the coaches. The first is the departure of Oladipo and Tobias Harris, especially the first defense level. Oladipo's departure has greatly reduced the defensive strength of the Magic's backcourt, and the overall offensive improvement of the league will also lead to an increase in the Magic's average points per game. There are many reasons.

The reporters only know how to make fun of it.

But most fans like to watch it, just like the Lakers lineup suddenly became LeBron, thick eyebrows, and Westbrook. In order to attack, Vogel's head is about to be smashed. Kerr also joked that the whole league wants to watch the Lakers How do we arrange the offense of the Big Three.

But most fans will only say: Vogel is really bad.

Between talking and laughing, it's six o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Yang accepted the pre-match interview as usual, and when he talked about "why he emphasized that Brogdon is the best rookie, but the BPM value is far inferior to Embiid", he said with a smile: "Because of the BMP value and the so-called VOPR value, the calculation method Not rigorous enough…”

The so-called BMP value is the 100-round data of a certain player. Compared with the positive and negative difference between the average performance of the league, the VOPR value is similarly divided, but the calculation method is different, but from the different calculation methods, it can be seen that both no.

The reporter's question like that is nothing more than trying to use the "tall" data to emphasize that Brogdon is not the best rookie, and to stimulate Su Yang by the way, to see if he can come up with some explosive news answers, instead of always being male and female Here's the traditional answer.

"Just imagine, at the small forward position, a player's BPM value has to be compared with Durant, LeBron, George, Leonard, Hayward and other outstanding players, and most of those players are the team's main force or The core, they have a lot of ball and shot rights, the data will naturally be better, and the overall level will be higher, which will lead to great differences in some players...

But players like Embiid, as the center for rebuilding the team, have unlimited firepower, and many other teams in the league have long stopped considering the center as the absolute core. Compared with the two, Embiid can naturally get super. High BPM values..."

Su Yang retorted.

The reporter was speechless.

That kind of questioning is too pediatric.

Su Yang is quite impressed with the data of BPM value, mainly because he has witnessed the players with the highest BP value among the teams that have lost in the finals several times, such as Ben in 05, Wade in 11, and Pierce in the team. Fourth, getting the FMVP in the end is also a classic case. It is really an incomplete data, and it is not reasonable enough to point out from the statistical data.

Anyway, in the 16-17 season, Westbrook averaged a triple-double in the season, and the BPM value exploded, but finally forced the inventor of BPM data, Daniel Myers, to readjust the algorithm.Of course, those are things that haven't happened yet, Su Yang can only explain so much.

The reporter suddenly asked because BPM has become popular on social media. What are the top ten players with the highest BPM value in history? Jordan, LeBron, Paul and other players who are particularly familiar to the public rank first, second, and third, which makes people feel very reasonable.

The interview was quickly sorted into news and posted on social media. Some fans crazily attacked Su Yang, and even ridiculed that there is no scientific statistical spirit in the Chinese blood, and they only play metaphysics. The devil went crazy.

Su Yang was too lazy to pay attention to it, and only replied with a clown expression.

The game started immediately.

The Kings start, Curry, George, Brogdon, Antetokounmpo, Cousins.

Magic starting, Elfrid Payton, Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon, Ibaka, and Vucevic, the overall height is a bit exaggerated, but the data shows that the magic team's three-point shooting percentage is only 31%, down 4% from last season.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the king won the jump ball.

The regular one-in-four-game formation was placed in the starting position, and after the strength shifted, Brogdon took the ball to face Aaron Gordon, and by the way used the cover to break through the top of the arc, and Gordon used his high mobility and height to boldly attack. Choose to bypass cover against breaches.

Brogdon doesn't have Curry's super fast three-point shot, but Antetokounmpo's screen is very good, buying him enough time, and Gordon's wingspan is relatively average, he just boldly stares at the leap and jump , Raising his hand is a three-pointer.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

The shooting ability of the 180 club is not given in vain.

Yibian Magic attacked, led the basketball halfway, and unabashedly looked for Gordon, after all, the height advantage was too great.

Relying on his height of 193, Elfrid Payton easily avoided Curry's waving interference and successfully passed the ball to the right waist, but Brogdon predicted that he would go forward, forcing Gordon to stand still. With a direct ball, it is difficult to form a starting operation position smoothly.

Brogdon's low-post defensive ability is fully demonstrated.

After some tossing and turning, he changed his back to the basket.

However, Gordon is a player who can do three things, has comprehensive skills, but is neither three nor four, and has no specialties. He can shoot well, but he can let it go a lot of the time, and he can see the ball well. But as a forward, his true shooting percentage is only 51. %,low efficiency.

Anyway, Gordon's position is quite embarrassing. Being the boss and second child is not strong enough, and being the third child and blue-collar is a bit inferior.

Amidst the cheers, Gordon rushed to Brogdon, walked to the line, took three big steps, and hit the free throw line. He wanted to combine the ball for a layup, but seeing Antetokounmpo and Cousins ​​staring at him, he carried Brogdon obediently The defense takes off, and then the basketball clatters like iron.

The matchup was the same for several consecutive rounds, and Gordon also made a shot, but he couldn't rush, and the efficiency was very low.

Relatively speaking, Brogdon frequently moved without the ball, got space to shoot, and scored 16 points in the half.

The whole game was over in a blink of an eye, and Brogdon led the team to victory with 27 points. He also stole Aaron Gordon 2 times and blocked 1 shot.

The performance is visible to the naked eye.

The height contrast disadvantage has little effect.

On the same night, the 76ers played against the Heat. Embiid was dealt with by Whiteside and the Heat's zone defense. He only had 9 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. He scored 20 points in a row with 4 turnovers and 5 fouls, but many media were relieved. It's the rookie wall.

Such double-standard behavior made the honest man Brogdon feel very uncomfortable, complaining that Embiid was obviously afraid of the tank center.

Su Yang comforted him not to worry: "As long as I'm here and everyone helps you, the best rookie is only a matter of time."

The whole team flew to Milwaukee overnight, preparing to continue to challenge the Bucks away after a day of rest.

When he woke up at noon the next day, Su Yang casually logged into Twitter and found that there were a lot of people Aite. He clicked on it and saw that it was an interview with Milicic, the No. Playing, look at the way he helped Brogdon, if I had that kind of help back then, or if my coach wasn't Larry Brown, I would never be where I am today.

Su Yang even pointed out that the data calculation was wrong in order to refute those who are not optimistic about Brogdon in the media!
In short, I suggest that those low-ranked rookies try their best to go to the Kings to seek opportunities, even if they participate in training camp! "

Regarding Milicic's speech, fans discussed a lot.

For a while, the discussion on how well Su Yang cultivated rookies became a hot search in the NBA category.
