NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 187 Heat VS Cavaliers, who is better?

"What the hell, after nine consecutive victories, the ranking does not rise but falls. The MVP list is a joke."

"You screamed at the media twice, and then the MVP list immediately made concessions. What kind of credibility does this have?"

"It stinks! There is no reason to keep getting better and better, but the ranking is falling instead of rising. Can anyone tell me why? Where is the argument?"

"It's just to coerce public opinion and suppress it, why else?"

"At this rate, I, Zhan, am going to come out and scream. I'm so bully."

"This MVP list is too dark and has no meaning of existence."

"Heat, you idiots, how do you do this this time?"

"Old Riley Dog sold his shares."

"There is no reason at all. It must be a shady secret. It is recommended that the alliance investigates strictly."

The dissatisfaction of Cavaliers fans is surging and surging, and they feel very wronged.

The target is pointed directly at the Heat, and it is bluntly said to be a shady story.

But the Heat's counterattack was more powerful and hit the mark.

"You're going to return to your own place, and you're still wronged?"

"Uh! Sixth in the Eastern Conference. Where do you want to be ranked? Can you be ranked first? Can I just give you the award?"

"You didn't take advantage, so you started to go crazy, didn't you?"

"It's well said. If you don't take advantage, you will suffer a loss. Some people take too many bonuses. If they don't get the bonus at once, they will bite people immediately."

"It's really weird. Even if you win nine consecutive games, you only have 28 wins and 20 losses, and the data is not that good. What's wrong with you being ranked fourth?"

"Isn't it ridiculous to be sixth in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the MVP list, yet you are talking about shady stories?"

This time.

It can be considered a prick to the hearts and lungs of Cavaliers fans.

But they never play against the wind.

Since you don't have the upper hand in terms of record, then pull someone with a good record out to raise the banner.

For example, Curry.

"If you want to say that your record is good, can you have a better record than the Warriors? Now they will start clamoring for the top spot of MVP. Are you qualified?"

"I already have a general idea of ​​what they will say next. The record is not enough, and the data is used to make up. If the record is not comparable, then compare the data."

"The data is only half-assed, so why can we say with certainty that it should be ranked first?"

"Some people just like to dream."

"With two All-Star starting teammates, he only managed a record of 34 wins and 12 losses. He takes the credit all by himself. Why is he so shameless?"

"Xue Liancheng, this damn fat guy, started competing for MVP after playing a few good games. Are you worthy?"

Not only did Cavaliers fans speak out, many Warriors fans also couldn't bear it and chose to join the war group.

Xue Liancheng's silence action before angered many Warriors fans. They didn't know the truth of the matter, so they felt that Xue Liancheng was worthless, and the grudges were buried.

but.

The most important thing is that Curry's MVP has really been challenged.

Adding the two together allows them to also focus their output.

Heat fans are not willing to show weakness.

“MVP评选就是数据和战绩综合，你库里24+7+4，跟薛连城21+10+5档次差了不是一星半点好吗？20+10的含金量，是你24+7能比的？”

"Scramble? The MVP belongs to your family? Rely on your strength, don't force Lai Lai."

"21+10+5, the third-best record in the league, and ranking second in MVP has become a wishful thinking?"

"The Warriors' record is only second in the league. If you're purely comparing record, you can just pick one of the Hawks."

"You speak so loudly, people who don't know better think you are still number one in the league."

The schedule is already halfway through, and everyone’s performance has basically stabilized.

With his super three-point shooting skills, Curry has indeed attracted a large number of fans and has become one of the most popular stars in the league.

But Xue Liancheng is not bad either.

Young and handsome, his rookie data is at a historical level, the team is still winning and has gained a lot of fans.

and so.

The support for Xue Liancheng is actually not weak.

In addition, there are a large number of passerby fans who hate me, James, and they will support whoever beats James.

This is the end.

The war of words has resumed, and the momentum is getting louder and louder.

This is another charm of the NBA.

Its topicality allows everyone to participate, the atmosphere is full of atmosphere, and there are many points worthy of discussion.

Big awards like regular season MVP.

Although many people ridicule it as a media award, which is unfair, it is the highest honor for individual players.

The winners of some years are indeed quite controversial, but they are not too outrageous, and the gold content is still very high.

The winner must have a prerequisite, that is, he must be the core leader of the team.

Picking the best player from one of the best teams is the basic criterion.

If you want to compete for this award, you need to take into account your basic and advanced data throughout the season, as well as your court influence, highlight moments, number of crotch games, etc. Only then will you be eligible to be shortlisted for the Most Valuable Player.

Basically, as long as there is a chance, every player wants to compete, especially players who have never won this award.

After all, once you win the award, it means that you have entered the league's top discussion, proving that you are one of the most valuable players in the league, proving that you have been extremely good throughout the season and led the team to play an amazing game. Remarkable results.

It's very difficult...

And it is precisely because of its difficulty that it has more gold content.

And precisely because of its rich gold content, there will be a situation where fans compete for red eyes.

and so.

This will lead to some disputes over who is elected in the end, unless you have the best record in the league, move to the second level, and have incredible data.

That leaves nothing to say.

As it is now, it is very controversial.

Among the finalists, the Warriors have the best record, but Curry's statistics are not so beautiful, and the convincing power of 24+7+4 is not that great.

The Rockets' record is okay, but not as good as the Heat. In terms of statistics, Harden's 27+7+5 and Xue Liancheng's 21+10+5 are evenly matched. Strictly speaking, Xue Liancheng is better, after all, 20 points + 10 assists. , it’s still very valuable.

The Cavaliers have the worst record, and James' statistics don't have any advantage in comparison, but his fundamentals are stable enough, his skills are big enough, he is currently recognized as the number one player in the league, and he has enough fans who are crazy about trying to get him.

of course.

The most important thing is not to lose to Xue Liancheng.

Anyone who wins MVP can accept it, except Xue Liancheng.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

Not only the players on both sides have deep grievances, but the fans are also incompatible, with you without me.

And Xue Liancheng?

The Heat's record is very good. They are only two and a half games behind the Warriors. They are two games ahead of the Rockets and seven and a half games ahead of the Cavaliers. In the competition with the three, they are relatively high. .

In terms of basic data, Xue Liancheng also has a certain advantage, 21+10+5. As long as the record is decent, it will be quite competitive in any era.

High-end data is also very advantageous, with assist-to-turnover ratio, true shooting percentage, efficiency value, plus-minus value, etc. all being among the best.

But here's the problem.

The lead is not terribly huge.

The record cannot dominate, and the basic data cannot directly defeat the three of them. The high-level data still has Curry and James to compete with them.

The most important thing is that the Heat have Wade and Gasol Jr., two All-Star players in their playing years, and they both performed very well.

As a result, Xue Liancheng was equally controversial.

But anyway.

It is already a great honor to be included in the MVP discussion list.

It also caused huge repercussions in the country.

"Oh my god, Brother Shui is so awesome. He will compete for MVP in the first season. There is no doubt that he will be the first in the Asian server, right?"

"What kind of doubts can there be about this? Who can be dissatisfied?"

"Xue Liancheng is really awesome. If he wins the MVP, he will remove Yao Ming from the throne of the number one player in Chinese basketball in the first season. This is only his first year. I can't imagine what he will do in the future. Where will the altitude be.”

"If I can win a championship, it will be a sure thing to become a figure in the basketball world."

"I hope he will work harder and stop clocking out in three quarters. Winning the MVP in his rookie season will be truly historic."

"By the way, who in history has won the MVP in his rookie season?"

"One is Chamberlain and the other is Unseld. If Xue Liancheng achieves this achievement, he will be the third person."

"What Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, James, and Duncan have not been able to do, if Xue Liancheng can do it, it will really be the beginning of a brilliant career, and the future is simply limitless."

"If nothing unexpected happens in the future, it is possible to dominate the NBA for a period of time, or even become the number one player in the NBA, to dominate an era, really... this was something that was unimaginable before!"

"Yes! It is not impossible to become a historical giant and enter the top ten in history."

Some domestic fans have even entered a moment of crazy imagination.

Dominating an era and becoming a historical giant are both here.

of course.

The prospects are very good.

But it is not that simple to rule an era.

It requires honors, statistics, records, number of championships, etc., to comprehensively cover the superstars of the same era. While promoting yourself to the super giant of the era, you also need to kick other superstars out of the top twenty ranks.

Stronger than Kobe, O'Neal, and Duncan have not done it.

Things before the 1980s are too ancient, so let’s not talk about them for now.

In the 1980s, Magic and Bird competed.

Only Jordan really dominated the 1990s, winning two and three consecutive championships, establishing two dynasties, and showing super dominance, such as Barkley, Gorilla Ewing, assist leader Stockton, Postman Malone, Reggie -Miller and others have no crown for life.

There are also superstars such as Olajuwon, David Robinson, Drexler, Mourning, etc. Either Jordan retired and took the opportunity to win the championship, or else he won the championship at the end of the year and completely lost his superstar glory.

Except for Olajuwon, these people were really beaten by Jordan and lost their historical status.

There has not been such a dominant figure since the new century.

Basically, it is a situation where all parties are competing for hegemony. The Lakers have won three consecutive championships, the Spurs have the odd number law, the Pistons have stepped in again, the Heat have also joined in the fun, and the Celtics' Big Three have successfully reached the top.

If you have to choose one in this decade, then Kobe or Duncan would be your first choice, and then O'Neal.

What about after 10?

It's just over halfway, and James has some qualifications.

of course.

It's just a qualification.

The Big Three teamed up to win two championships, talking about domination?

That would be very funny.

It can only be said that in this era, James is relatively more dominant, and he is the taller among the dwarfs.

As for what happens next?

No one knows what will happen.

Anyway, if Xue Liancheng sees that domestic fans think so highly of him, he will definitely be under great pressure.

It is really……

His current level is far from the level of dominance.

Having recruited powerful stars like Gasol and Wade, as well as so many outstanding role players, he didn't dare to pat his chest and was 100% guaranteed to win the championship.

I don't even dare to say that I can defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This……

Talk about domination.

Everything depends on how much Golden Thigh can be improved. If the half-time 1% hit skill can be improved from 10 to , then he will dare to beat his chest loudly and claim dominance.

But he thought for a moment, even if he activated all the honors, he might not be able to reach 5 with a % hit.

After all, there are other skills that need to be improved.

As the fans' scolding war became more and more intense, the feud between the two teams gradually escalated.

ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports, FOX Sports and many other media also came forward and began to analyze the question of who is more likely to qualify, the Heat or the Cavaliers.

Naturally, they couldn't let go of this heat.

Of course it's not just nonsense.

Because in the East, the Heat and Cavaliers do have the best chance of qualifying, and their early analysis is actually correct.

Yahoo Sports took the lead.

"Heat VS Cavaliers Trade Comparison Before and After"

Contents:

Let's take a look at what changes have taken place between the two teams before and after the trade.

First up is the Heat.

Before the trade, their record was still very good.

But since the start of the transaction, they have suffered three consecutive defeats. At that time, everyone thought that the Heat had lost money.

But looking back now, the Heat simply made a lot of money.

PJ Tucker's defensive ability is beginning to be known to the public. It is really a miracle that he can defend from the 1st position to the 5th position.

Not only can he defend, but he can also defend very well. He is specially designed to deal with outside superstars. He is simply an excellent figure.

In addition, Tucker also has a good three-point shooting. He can truly be both 3 and D. He is a very practical defensive warrior.

Batum was about to sink in the Trail Blazers, and due to the expiration of his contract, he was abandoned by the Trail Blazers early.

Before the trade, his shooting percentage was only 39%. After coming to the Heat, it gradually improved to 42%. He can defend, shoot, and organize.

He is an indispensable figure in the Heat's five small lineups.

Marcus Morris plays a role on the bench. Although there is no obvious improvement, he is definitely a qualified substitute for the team.

On the other hand, Luol Deng, who was traded out, averaged 15.6 points per game and shot 41% from the field. He is no longer the quasi-All-Star courage he was in the Heat.

The Suns used a high-quality substitute, an important defensive gate, and gave up a first-round draft pick. They originally thought they were making a profit, but in exchange for such an All-Star level to be the head of the team.

result……

But it was a huge disappointment.

As for Granger, Hamilton is almost gone.

This deal with the Sun is such a loss that it makes people question their life.

Besides.

The Trail Blazers traded the versatile Batum for Sean Williams.

I thought it was a sharp shot.

As a result, Sean Williams lost his three-point magic, was reduced from starter to substitute, and finally fell out of the important rotation. Now his playing time is not fixed.

The loss is also beyond words.

This transaction directly upgraded the Heat's character lineup.

Next, the Heat traded Bosh for defensive core Gasol, which directly laid the foundation for the Heat's defense.

With Bosh being reimbursed, the Grizzlies have become the biggest victim. I guess when the management can't sleep at night, they may get up and curse.

In addition to Gasol, they also traded Ibaka.

A space-based insider with excellent running and jumping ability, not only has good defensive capabilities, but also has a certain guarantee of three-point shooting rate.

After the transaction is completed.

It can be seen from the Heat's performance that they have completed their transformation.

They have built a very powerful defensive system. Their defensive intensity alone is enough to make many teams miserable.

Coupled with Bosh's departure, Xue Liancheng was completely liberated.

The current Heat are one of the teams with the fastest offensive pace, and their offensive efficiency is also among the best in the league.

With their current offensive firepower, they can penetrate any team's defense. The fact that the Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers, who are known for their defense, were unable to fight back is proof of this.

Simultaneously.

They have increased a large number of three-point shots, and their three-point firepower is very fierce.

of course.

That's not all they've changed.

In addition to Xue Liancheng's attack, Gasol can also support him. Coupled with Wade's breakthrough ability, their tactics are ever-changing.

The biggest change is that they used the ultimate five-small lineup and actually produced a jaw-dropping offensive effect.

Xue Liancheng's mobility and speed advantages were fully unleashed.

At present, only the Warriors' five players can rival them.

Taken together.

After the Heat trade, they have completed upgrades on both offense and defense and are the best team in the league with both offense and defense.

Not even one.

Let's look at the knights again.

Before the trade, they were struggling very much, and the reason was very simple. The three-point shooting was extremely unstable, and the inside line could not form an effective frame protection, which greatly increased the offensive and defensive pressure on James, Irving and Love.

And their transaction is to strengthen these two shortcomings.

The arrival of J.R. Smith and Shumpert brought a stable three-point output to the team, which freed up their inside space and made James' breakthrough no longer difficult.

And once James' breakthrough cannot be contained, everyone knows what the consequences will be.

This is one of the important reasons why the Cavaliers can achieve this crazy nine-game winning streak.

The arrival of Mozgov directly blocked the team's empty inside line and liberated Love.

This allows Love to devote more energy to the offensive end.

Their defense has also been significantly improved, and their basket is no longer as mermaid as before.

These changes have brought about changes on both ends of the offense and defense, and at the same time affected Irving's state.

During the nine-game winning streak, Irving's firepower opened up, letting people see what a gorgeous and dazzling singles are.

The most important thing is that the pick-and-roll between James and Irving has become very unsolvable. The power of the cooperation between the two makes the opponent despair.

no doubt.

After the transaction was completed, their strength also underwent earth-shaking changes, and they were definitely two levels stronger than before.

The firepower of the Big Three was completely unleashed.

So……

Who is better between the two teams?

The answer lies on February 2, the eve of the All-Star Weekend.
