In September, the fierce atmosphere of NBA has become more and more intense.
Fans are looking forward to the start of the new season when the Cleveland Cavaliers finally won two double machine Kevin love through a three-way deal.
Whenever the League pattern changes, fans will be extremely eager for the arrival of the new season. After all, for everyone, everything in the new season is full of freshness and suspense.
What kind of achievements can James play after returning to Cleveland? Can Memphis Grizzlies create the myth of three consecutive championships? Will there be any other breaker besides link and James?
Innumerable suspense is brewing, also raised fan''s appetite.
ESPN naturally won''t let off the fans'' expectation for the new season, so it has just entered September, ESPN began to launch the series ranking of the top 50 stars in the new season.
Like last season, ESPN will launch 10 stars a day, from 50th to 1st, in five days in descending order.
The same as last season, and then the same. On the surface, the Grizzlies, which seem to have no stars except link, have once again become the team with the largest number of stars.
On the first day of the rankings, Grizzlies were on the list.
Zac Randolph, 33, who voluntarily cut his salary this summer, was ranked 43rd by ESPN. It''s down nine places from the start of last season, but it''s still in the top 50. For a veteran who is no longer so famous, the ranking is quite high.
Randolph''s ranking will drop 9 places, a lot of reason is because his attack efficiency greatly reduced last season.
As the first choice of the Grizzlies in the inner line, the assists rate of the "big black bear" last season was only 46%, far lower than the players in the same position. He did not have enough height, did not have the outstanding movement consciousness, the bouncing height from the ground was basically a brick''s distance, purely relied on the terrifying upper limb strength to dig in, which was easy to be encircled and suppressed. Randolph last season more than 10% of the ball was blocked, including jump shot rate is as high as 8%.
These data all point to the question that Randolph is really old.
The prodigal son who once dominated Portland, New York and Los Angeles is no longer young.
Although Randolph is still ranked 43rd in the top 50 stars of the new season, ESPN is also worried about Randolph''s offensive performance in the new season. It is an indisputable fact that Randolph''s offensive firepower is declining. In this way, link''s attack pressure will be greatly increased.
Although Randolph''s ranking has dropped a lot compared with the previous season, many fans still don''t understand, "Randolph is still on the list now?"
The next day, there were still two Grizzlies on the list. However, the two men still cause great controversy.
Before the start of last season, igorda ranked 29th, and bililad was two places higher.
But this year, igordala has dropped 10 places to 39 places! The reason is very simple, last season igordala''s data experienced a significant decline, almost faded the star halo.
But ESPN is not stupid. They know that Iguodala''s role in Grizzlies cannot be judged by data. They know that Iguodala is out of the data, and it helps Grizzlies a lot.
But because of the decline in data, igordala''s ranking has been lowered by 10 places.
However, as a player with mediocre data, many fans are puzzled by igordala''s ranking. According to igordala''s performance last season, people think that he is in the 40th or so, and he can be in the top 40.
At No. 31 is Mike Conley, the only grizzly player to move up the rankings, up from 36 last season.
ESPN''s comments on Conley are as simple as his style. "Mike Conley''s abilities in all aspects are not top in point guard. He doesn''t have Paul''s cool ball control and passing, no Curie''s range and no Westbrook''s physical fitness. But his biggest advantage is that he has no obvious short board
Even though Conley''s 31st ranking and ESPN''s evaluation of him are low-key enough, he can''t escape the doubts of fans.
The reason is very simple. This year ESPN only ranked Kobe at 32nd, while Conley was just ahead of him... You know, in the past four years, Kobe has never been lower than 9th.
Conley is also innocent. It''s not good to be in front of Kobe... But Conley doesn''t know that he is not the most controversial grizzly player in the rankings.
The most controversial is mark Gasol, who is ranked 24th!
At first glance, the score of 24 does not seem too high. But when it was discovered that Cavai Leonard was 27th, Wade 28th and Ibaka 30th, many felt that Pau Gasol''s ranking was too high.
"Pau Gasol''s data has not many bright spots. He has less than 16 points every 36 minutes, and the rebounding rate is only 12.7%. Although he is 2.16 meters tall, his position is not good, and the blocking every 48 minutes is also in the middle and lower reaches of the center position. Who can tell me why he could be before Ibaka and others? ""ESPN kneels to lick the defending champion is also too obvious, the Grizzlies'' players'' ranking is obviously high! Randolph''s old guy can still be selected, Conley can be in front of Kobe, Gasol can be ranked 24th! My God, this list is not fair at all. "
"If you take away the glory of the defending champion, you don''t know how many of the Grizzlies will be here."
Gasol is like a lead, completely detonating public opinion. From Randolph to Gasol, almost all of the four Grizzlies on the current leaderboard have been questioned.
On the contrary, link, the last ranked first, was not criticized.
This year, the top three of the top 50 stars in the new season are still link, James and Durant. Durant became the third year old after the second year.
However, unlike last year, everyone seems to agree that link is at the top of the list. As a player who reaped almost all the heavyweight personal honors last season and broke a lot of records, it''s understandable that link ranks first in the top 50 superstars of the new season.
But people only admit that link is only one person, the Grizzlies in the other four people, are labeled "not qualified.".
"He''s a real superstar. But in my opinion, he is also the only superstar of Grizzlies. "
"Randolph, Conley, Gasol and igordala are all more or less in link''s light. In this list, only link is a grizzly bear player who is worthy of his name. The other players are selected is really confusing
"ESPN wants to please the defending champion, but it''s disgusting. Grizzlies start five tigers are all selected in the new season 50... This is simply too exaggerated. Many of them are not qualified at all! "
"The Cleveland Cavaliers had three players selected, James ranked second, lefoy eighth and Owen 18th. In my opinion, this is the real objective ranking. If the defending champion of last season was the Cavaliers, I would expect the Cavaliers to make five or six players. But you don''t have to worry, after the season starts, people can see the Grizzlies'' other four stars, in front of the Cavaliers'' three stars, how weak
The Memphis Grizzlies once again became the focus of controversy after the rankings were released. On the first day of the new season''s training camp, link was also asked about this question when he was interviewed by a reporter at the gate of the Federal Express stadium.
"How do you see the ranking of ESPN? Well, admittedly, this list is unfair. " Facing the camera, link touches his chin carefully.
The reporters were excited in an instant. Was it difficult for even link to feel that the Grizzlies'' players ranked unreasonably high?
However, when the reporters happily put the microphone to link''s mouth, link told them seriously, "in my opinion, the Grizzlies should have at least 6 to 7 players to be selected in the new season''s top 50, but ESPN has only selected 5, which is not unfair. What is it?"
As the reporters'' faces changed from expectation to shock, link grinned contentedly.
The day of the villain is so simple and irrelevant!
Link knew that his words would make him bloody.
But that doesn''t matter, just like the message on the Internet said. After a month and a half after the start of the new season, we will naturally know whether what they said is true.
Speaking of all, the league has arranged for Grizzlies and Cavaliers to meet in the first game of the opening game of the new season...
it''s really a good opportunity for everyone to shut up.
