NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 237 Best Lineup

The other series of matches are in full swing.

Cavaliers 3:0 Eagles.

If it goes like the historical trajectory, the Hawks are just a paper tiger. They scream fiercely in the regular season and are almost like a salted fish in the playoffs. They are tossed around by me, James.

It was about to be swept 4:0.

Western.

The Warriors and Spurs battled to a score of 2:1.

Originally, according to the historical trajectory, the Grizzlies advanced to the second round against the Warriors, but because the Grizzlies were regarded as being taken advantage of, they were eliminated in the first round.

and so……

The current situation is the Warriors against the Spurs, which is a set of series that may have variables.

But overall, the Warriors still have the advantage.

The Rockets and Clippers group, because the Clippers had a tiebreaker in the first round, have only played two games so far, and the big score is 1:1.

The Rockets have lost their home court advantage. According to the historical trajectory, they will fall behind 1:3.

Then after returning to the home court to regain a victory, in the sixth game, the Hairband Gang showed their power and pushed Ci Deng into the Western Conference Finals stage.

At present, we are still following the trajectory.

Summarize……

The battle in the west is more intense, and it is still unclear who will win.

The Eastern Conference is all one-sided, and the promotion of the Cleveland Cavaliers is almost a certainty.

in this way……

The ultimate fantasy of Heat vs. Cavaliers is finally about to take shape.

The collision of the two teams is like Mars hitting the earth. They are all three giants, mixed with grievances, love and hate, love and hate, entanglements and so on. The topics and popularity are absolutely overwhelming.

And it has been preheated in advance.

The first is the media.

"Yahoo Sports" took the lead with an article "A new king takes the throne?" Or is the emperor conservative? 》set off a storm.

The content is nothing more than describing the duel between Xue Liancheng and James, from the comparison of regular season wins and losses, to the comparison of the two's performances, to the comparison of data, to the comparison of efficiency, and then combining the lineup, tactics, the team's hard power, and the team's soft power. Strength, etc., were compared in all aspects.

Yahoo Sports did not express many subjective opinions, nor did it give a clear winner or loser.

But comparing Xue Liancheng with James on the same dimension, and using such a title, actually speaks for itself.

The Jamies were unhappy on the spot:

"Are you kidding me? Has Xue Liancheng become the new king?"

"Without a champion, dare to be called the new king?"

"The current media can do nothing but grandstanding."

"Are you, Xue Liancheng, qualified to be compared with James?"

And Xue Liancheng's fans also made a counterattack:

"Xue Liancheng is the MVP of this season's regular season, the best in the league, right? Isn't this the new king?"

"You, James, have the championship, but you didn't get it by hugging your thighs. Without the platform given by the Heat, you, James, are just a chicken."

"Which part of Yahoo Sports' analysis is not the truth? Oh... To tell the truth, in your opinion, is sensationalism?"

"Sweeping you 4-0 in the regular season, you forced us to meet in the playoffs. When we met in the playoffs, you said you were not qualified to compare them together. Before Xue Liancheng won the MVP, you kept saying that you would let him win the best award of the season. Talk, now that Xue Liancheng has won the MVP, and you keep saying this and that, are you crazy? What on earth is Xue Liancheng going to do to be on par with James?"

"We met each other head-on in the playoffs, but we still can't compare head-on? What are you afraid of?"

"What else can you be afraid of? I'm afraid that the crown will fall."

"Afraid of being swept away..."

Immediately afterwards, fans of both sides spat on the Internet again, and the spatter became more intense.

Start going over old scores and saying something embarrassing about the other person.

Xue Liancheng fans said that James was a traitor, stole two championships, turned around and ran away, and the two FMVPs were won by standing on the shoulders of giants.

There are also things like: crying baby, diving, walking, crying and shouting to hug each other, being killed four times in the regular season, beating James so hard that he didn't dare to play, etc.

And James also has something to say: he took advantage of the team's boss position, kicked Bosh away, uttered arrogant words, did not know how to respect his predecessors, only knew how to play horizontally, and was a fat man, etc.

Finally, after spraying and spraying, it became a hot search again.

The momentum was so huge that it stole all the attention from other series.

In the end, whenever there was a topic or news about Xue Liancheng and James, the number of discussions was tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000.

However, the news or topics of other series are only scattered about a thousand or hundreds. The difference is huge, which is evident.

It is also enough to show that since Xue Liancheng won the regular season MVP, his popularity has received an unprecedented increase.

Coupled with the classic game that killed the Bulls in 0.3 seconds, the limelight can be said to be unprecedented.

The warm-up between the two sides, as the Cavaliers defeated the Eagles in the fourth game, completely broke out.

The major media began to analyze the lineups of the two sides and made their final predictions.

There are any predictions...

Some people predicted a tiebreaker because both sides performed strongly in the playoffs. The Heat were 4:0 in two rounds, and the Cavaliers were not far behind. They were 4:1 in the first round and 4:0 in the second round. The strength shown was both It is a top-notch existence.

Some people predict that the Heat will 4:2 the Cavaliers, and the reason is very good. Both sides are equally strong, but the Heat's Spoelstra and Wade know James too well. They have a good way of restricting James. This is their advantage.

On the contrary, some people predict that the Cavaliers will beat the Heat 4:2, and the reasons are also very good. James has continued to prove himself in the playoffs, and Irving is also very destructive. In terms of offensive strength, the Cavaliers are better.

There are also many commentators and famous reporters who predict that the Heat will defeat the Cavaliers 4:1. Their reason is that the Heat defeated the Cavaliers four times in the regular season and prevented James from losing his temper. This is an important reference and a reflection of the strength of both sides.

Coupled with Xue Liancheng's strong performance, the key ability has been verified. Not only are they superior in strength, they also have the guarantee of being on the spot, so 4:1 is not impossible.

Likewise, some commentators are optimistic that the Cavaliers will defeat the Heat 4:1.

reason?

The regular season is just a reference. James is unstoppable in playoff mode. Coupled with Wade's injury and Gasol's sluggishness in the playoffs, the Cavaliers easily beat the Heat 4:1, which is easy to achieve.

And the most outrageous thing is that some people on both sides predicted a 4:0 sweep.

Reasons to support the Heat: It is still the way of defending James in the regular season, which is enough to make James uncomfortable. Wade is still at the top level and can provide offensive ability. :4 Sweeping the Cavaliers is a no-brainer.

Whether in terms of psychology, strength, lineup restraint, or the gold content of the stars, the Heat have an absolute advantage.

Reasons to support the Cavaliers: Xue Liancheng participated in the playoffs for the first time. Although he showed a superb level, his decline was fully evident in the Bulls' third game. Without those three consecutive three-pointers, Xue Liancheng's performance could be described as It was so bad that after reaching the Eastern Conference finals, when the intensity of the confrontation escalated, it was difficult for Xue Liancheng to maintain his previous output.

This is one of them.

The second point is that once Xue Liancheng loses power, the Heat's offensive system will collapse, and what will follow is that they will each fight on their own.

When it comes to the ability to play alone, only Wade is the best in the Heat. However, Wade is old and his knees are not working. It is very difficult to expect Wade to explode.

The third point, on the contrary, Irving's offensive ability has been verified in the playoffs, and the structure of the Cavaliers' lineup will completely liberate James.

They have very good three-point shooters, such as Irving, Love, JR-Smith, Shumpert, and they are very effective in opening up space for James.

Everyone knows that once James charges up, he will be unstoppable.

Once the Cavaliers took the shot, they were very restrained by the Heat.

Fourth, that is the referee factor.

James has always been the darling of the league, and the Cavaliers will get the referee's attention.

At first, the James brothers were almost in awe, but in the end, they almost sent them away directly.

Is this fucking slandering me, Big James?

But the 4:0 prediction is basically not mainstream.

Even 4:1 predictions are not mainstream.

The media and reporters generally predict 4:2, and there will even be a tiebreaker.

And all these disturbances did not affect the Heat.

After they eliminated the Bulls 4:0, they will have a rest period of up to 6 days.

But they didn't relax.

Because they knew early on that the Cleveland Cavaliers would eventually stand out, Spoelstra also led the players to practice tactics against the Cavaliers from the beginning.

However, the training intensity is not too high.

Mainly to take care of injured players.

And on the night the Cavaliers eliminated the Hawks.

NBA officials also announced the best lineup.

First team:

Of the two guard positions, one of them was undoubtedly taken by Xue Liancheng.

As the regular season MVP this season, he is definitely destined for the best lineup. This is an iron rule.

With a performance of 23.2 points, 10.8 assists and 5.7 rebounds, he led the team to the best record in the history of the Heat and won an astonishing 67 wins. He deserved to be on the best team.

The other spot was taken by Ci Deng.

This season Harden has 27.4 points, 7.1 assists and 5.7 rebounds, which is similar to the historical trajectory. The assists are slightly more than 0.1. The data is absolutely outstanding, and he led the team to the second record in the Western Conference.

It is also well deserved.

It’s just a hardship for elementary school student Curry.

In fact, it is reasonable for both of them to give it to either of them, but since the Warriors do not have the best record in the league, the record bonus is not that big. Harden, who has better statistics, obviously has an advantage in the competition for the best team.

Maybe the media and reporters are thinking about this reason?

There is also no suspense about one of the two forward positions.

That's right.

That's James.

This season, he averaged 25.3 points, 7.4 assists and 6 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.8%. In the end, he led the team to start low and go high, and achieved third place in the Eastern Conference, which is pretty good.

His selection to the first team was also without much controversy.

Because there are really no strong competitors.

But then again, 25+7+6, how many people can compete?

The other forward position is occupied by Davis, the thick-browed brother. This third-year student has shown his edge and is beginning to show dominance on both offense and defense.

本赛季场均24.4分10.2篮板2.2助攻，另外还有2.9封盖，前场板是2.5个，投篮命中率是53.5%。

Davis at this stage is very powerful.

The center position fell to Gasol.

The average data per game is 16.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists. The data is not impressive.

But because of his great defensive power, he was included in the first team, which is barely enough.

of course.

The most important thing is that the center has withered away, and there are not many people to compete with him.

If position restrictions were relaxed, Gasol would not even think about playing in the first team.

Overall, only Curry failed to be selected for the first team, which is quite controversial.

Others, basically none.

Second team:

On the back line, Curry will undoubtedly occupy a spot.

If you don't make it to the first team, you can only smoothly move to the second team.

Averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game, the data is still good, coupled with the Golden State Warriors' 66 wins, falling to the second team, a little aggrieved...

The other quota is more controversial.

Westbrook averaged 28.1 points, 8.6 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was only 42.6%.

The overall data is indeed explosive, but the efficiency is really hard to describe.

In addition, the Thunder did not even make the playoffs, and Westbrook entered the second team, which is obviously difficult to convince the public.

But the problem is, Westbrook is the leading scorer this season.

This honor is enough to put him on the best team list. In many cases, the scoring champion is even a member of the first team.

In addition, there are various data bonuses, and it is not impossible to enter the second team.

but.

There is one more qualified candidate than Westbrook.

That's Chris Paul.

He averaged 19.1 points, 10.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game, shot 48.5% from the field, 39.8 from three-point range, and 90% from free throws. He was almost a member of the 180 club.

Without Xue Liancheng, Paul would still be the assist king...

Moreover, the Clippers' record ranks third in the Western Conference and fifth in the league. As the core of the team, it is really unreasonable to not even make the best second team.

This caused huge controversy.

Is the data important or the record important?

Isn't it outrageous that a top point guard like Paul couldn't even make the second team?

Anyway, there are different opinions, each with its own reasons.

Forward position, Gasol and Aldridge.

The controversy between the two is not that big. The former averaged 18.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and shot 49.4% from the field. Based on the Bulls' record, he is well deserved.

The latter averaged 23.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. The Trail Blazers are also a member of the playoffs. There is no problem if Aldridge can be selected.

Center Cousins ​​averaged 24.1 points, 12.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. Although the team is at the bottom, Cousins ​​is too conspicuous among short men.

Third Team: Paul, Thompson, Duncan, Griffin, Jordan.

This is like the second team of the Clippers...

I don’t know if it was a consolation prize given by the media and reporters because they saw the former number one point guard as pitiful.

of course.

Griffin and DeAndre Jordan definitely have this qualification.

The former averaged 22 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, while the latter was the rebounding leader. He chose a taller one among the shorter ones, so there was obviously no problem.

It was a bit surprising that Thompson was selected to the third team, but it seems to be reasonable.

Surprisingly, there are also excellent defenders such as Irving, Lillard, Butler, Lowry, Wall, DeRozan and others. Any one of them selected will be very convincing.

Like Lillard, who averaged 21 points, 6.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game, his statistics completely surrounded Thompson.

Like Butler, he also averages 20+ per game. He is an iconic figure of the Bulls and has defensive bonuses.

Needless to say, Lowry and DeRozan, the Toronto Raptors ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, but none of them were selected. It is reasonable for either of them to be selected.

The same goes for Wall. The Washington Wizards are ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference and no one has been selected. As the team leader, no one can say anything if he is selected for the All-NBA Team.

Irving is equally good. As the Cavaliers' second-in-command, he has not been overshadowed by James' brilliance.

But the person who happened to be selected was Thompson.

The Warriors' Curry has been selected, so it stands to reason that he has an explanation.

But on the other hand, with a record of 66 wins, only Curry was selected, which is a bit unreasonable.

Maybe this is a kind of compensation for Curry not being selected for the first team?

This is why it makes sense.

This is also another factor why Curry gave up the first lineup.

The two of them succeed each other, and no one else can fault them.

of course.

There is controversy, but not much.

It was quite a surprise that Duncan was selected.

It stands to reason that at this old age, the old man should give young people a chance, such as Leonard.

But that’s what the media and reporters choose.

Maybe in their eyes, Duncan is still the soul of the Spurs, and Leonard still needs some time to grow.

After the best lineup of this season was announced, it naturally caused a quarrel among fans.

Players who were not selected were dejected, angry and vomiting on social media.

The fans, of course, are fighting for their idols.

Such as Wall, it is particularly sour.

Ma Ma batch...

The sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference, averaging 10 assists per game, but not being selected for the All-NBA Team. Who can bear this?

As soon as the list was announced, Wall immediately tweeted: It's like child's play...

But his voice did not attract much response, it could only add some after-dinner talk for the fans.

because……

The current main theme is Xue Liancheng vs James.

The announcement of the best lineup still couldn't suppress the mutual criticism between fans on both sides.

but……

For Xue Liancheng, it was not worth it to have fans complaining about each other, but the announcement of the best lineup brought him a surprise.

That cold voice sounded at the moment when the NBA officially announced the best lineup.

[Tip]: Successfully unlocked the honor of the best first team and successfully sensed the dynamic evolution of the court.

After the blur in front of my eyes, the page appeared again in my mind.

The bonus for unobstructed and non-contact three-point shooting is 15%.

The ability to predict the future has become 0.6.

100% hit twice in the half.

[Honor level] also changed, from 4 to 5.

There is also a line of fine print below: All-Star, Best Rookie, Assist Leader, Regular Season MVP, Best First Team.

The perception of the dynamics of the court has changed into a clear perception of the dynamics of the court.

This……

It seems to have evolved.

It seems that the evolution is not complete.

And it seems like there is no evolution at all.

Xue Liancheng fumbled for a while, and then finally understood that the so-called clear perception of the dynamics of the court meant that he could clearly know the dynamics of every player on the court.

Because before sensing the dynamics of the stadium, only the home team and other players were divided, so I didn't know who was who.

If you want to know who is who, you need to judge based on the other person's height, body shape, shape, etc.

Now it has evolved.

In other words, the player's face is displayed, and there is no need to judge based on details.

Ok……

The best team, such an important honor, has evolved such a tasteless one?

Xue Liancheng was in bad condition.
