Standing pretty old

Chapter 804 The Counterattack of the Lost Alliance and the Rise of the Great God in the Comment Area

The Mavericks won the championship trophy for the first time in history, and Nowitzki was elected FMVP.

The data party expressed dissatisfaction. Jason Terry should be the Mavericks' best player during the finals. The reason is that the Jets are better than the old driver in terms of offensive efficiency alone.

Is it really possible to analyze like this?
Of course not!
Throughout the finals of the 10-11 season, Nowitzki played 40.3 minutes per game, averaged 20.8 shots per game, hit 8.7 goals, and his shooting percentage was only 41.6%. If you only see this, some people may think that the silver horn king is an undercover agent.

But don't forget, Nowitzki's average data is the Mavericks' highest 26 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists.

Anyone who has watched the game understands how Nowitzki killed the Heat time and time again at the last moment, which means that Nowitzki is absolutely extraordinary in the stability of key shots.

In addition, in addition to 7.7% of the shooting percentage, the Germans also averaged 7.5 free throw opportunities per game, and hit 97.8 of them. The free throw percentage was 26%, which made the Heat extremely desperate. Averaging 53.75 points per game, his true shooting percentage should be [-]% per game.

This is the charm of high-level data, which can help fans break through the fog and find the true state of the game.

Although Jason Terry averaged 49.4% field goal percentage and 39.3% three-point field goal percentage per game, his averages of 18 points, 3.2 assists, and 2 rebounds per game are obviously not the true core of Dallas.

From the point of view of not judging heroes by success or failure, the player who played the best in the entire series should be D. Wade.

His field goal percentage is as high as 54.6%, but his free throws are slightly worse. He averaged 8.2 free throws per game and only hit 5.7 goals, and his free throw percentage was only 69.4%.

But Cheek contributed the highest scoring data of the two teams, averaging 26.5 points per game, and his true shooting percentage reached 61.32%.

Then is Chris Bosh, who averaged 18.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game, or James, who can't even get in with his back, but can still contribute 17.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. D. Wade?
To be honest, judging from personal data, I really can't make this judgment decisively, although from the scene, James' blame is definitely on his back.

The real answer comes from the team data of the two teams.

First look at the Mavericks:

They averaged 72.7 shots per game, 33.0 hits, and a shooting percentage of 45.4%. Among them, they averaged 20.7 shots per game, 8.5 hits, and 41.1% three-point shooting. They averaged 25.8 free throws and 20.2 free throws per game. , The free throw rate was 78.1%, the team averaged 94.7 points, 37.7 rebounds and 18.2 assists per game.

Look at the Heat:

They averaged 74.7 shots per game, 33.7 hits, and a shooting percentage of 45.1%. Among them, they averaged 21.7 shots per game, 7.5 hits, and 34.6% three-point shooting. They averaged 24.7 free throws and 17.5 free throws per game. , The free throw rate was 70.9%, the team averaged 92.3 points, 38.5 rebounds and 19.5 assists per game.

After a little comparison, even inexperienced fans can see the gap.

When the number of shots, free throws, rebounds, and assists are relatively close, the Mavericks only beat the Heat by 2.4 points per game, and their real absolute advantages are only two points-three-pointers and free throws.

41.1%>34.6%, 78.1%>70.9%, the Mavericks did win, but it was by no means that Nowitzki defeated the Heat team alone. penalty.

After the dust settled, Dirk Nowitzki, who had been in the league for 13 years, finally won the championship trophy.

At the same time, Old Kidd, whose athletic ability has declined sharply, Jason Terry, a frustrated scrimmage, Tyson Chandler, who was almost sentenced to death due to injuries, and Sean, who was abandoned by the sun, won this honor. *Marion, JJ* Barea, who has a weak presence most of the time, and Deshaun* Stevens, who has a passionate relationship with James. (When the Cavaliers and Wizards faced off in the playoffs, the two had troubles. James' friend JAY-Z even wrote a song to scold Stevens.)

The Mavericks won the championship, not only the success of Nowitzki, but also a counterattack by a group of frustrated NBA players.

Prior to this, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle was just an ordinary NBA coach who looked like Kim Carey, and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was regarded by many as an NBA clown.

But all of this has become a joke in front of the championship, and the real winner doesn't have to care about it at all.

Nowitzki is a crowned god, which is what he deserves.

In appearance, he has changed from a German freshman to a German old driver, and from experiencing a cheating girlfriend to finding true love in life, Nowitzki is indeed a personal winner.

The one who can best comment on Nowitzki should be the NBA legend who is often regarded by the media as a template for old drivers-"The King of Kings" Larry Bird.

In the past, when a reporter asked him about Nowitzki's evaluation, he said this: "If you mean looks, I admit that he looks more handsome than me!"

After Nowitzki won the championship, Larry Bird took the initiative to call the old driver. He said this: "I think you need a Hall of Fame recommender."

Then, when Nowitzki scored more than [-] points and ranked first among white players, when he was comparable to Chamberlain, Malone, Kobe, and Jordan, he said this to the reporter: "You compare me with him. it's my honour."

The king of the king is willing to bow his head, and Nowitzki's historical status can be imagined.

The Mavericks became the final winner, so the Big Three established last summer naturally became the object of people's ridicule. Among them, LeBron James, who transferred through live TV in a risky way, quickly became the focus of everyone's attention. object of criticism.

It's easy to say if you win, but since you lost, and lost so embarrassingly, it's natural that someone will make you worse.

James finally discovered how terrifying it is to be pushed down by the wall.

He even called Er Niu privately to relieve his psychological pressure.

Ruan Erniu said on the other end of the phone: "What you say now is wrong. Before you win the championship, doubts will never disappear."

James sighed and said: "I didn't expect them to be so harsh, I just want to win more."

Ruan Erniu sneered inwardly, "Desire to win? A smart person like you just wants to maximize value. If you make a mistake, you have to admit it, and when you are beaten, you have to stand at attention. How could it be possible for you to take all the benefits?"

Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about coming to Los Angeles, maybe we can find an opportunity to join forces. Compared with Los Angeles, Miami is not a big city."

Lebron wasn't an idiot either, he immediately understood the meaning of Er Niu's words, but he was frustrated, and James didn't mean to give in at the moment: "Why didn't you come to Miami? Sterling, a lunatic, is not a willing boss. Besides, even if I'm going to Los Angeles, why not go to the Lakers?"

Ruan Erniu laughed loudly and said, "Give Kobe Bryant a younger brother? Does KING-JAMES want to abdicate directly? To be honest, you know exactly what you want, and the Heat will become stronger next season." , isn't it?"

James was pointed out by Er Niu, but he was also not surprised. He is a smart person, and there are some things that he couldn't hide originally.

James on the other end of the phone finally said: "I hope to meet you in the finals, Kraft, this time it must be me who wins."

"Then thank you for your good words!" Ruan Erniu didn't dare to say big words, because with the current lineup of the Clippers, it is not an easy task to reach the finals.

Even if the Clippers can reach the finals, what the two bulls will encounter must be an enhanced version of the Miami Heat. Judging from this call, James is obviously ready to become a leader.

If you want to win the championship, someone must sacrifice. During the Eagles Dynasty, the sacrifices were the backcourt rebounds of most of the Hawks' inside players, and the personal scoring data of Ji Jisen.

And the Heat who lost the finals must have understood that if they want to win the championship, it is far from enough to rely on the giants to directly compromise with each other.

Snakes can't do without a head. If there is no leader who can stand up to save the world at a critical moment, then they will still be at the bottom when they are fighting against top teams.

……

Ruan Erniu has no time to think about whether he will encounter problems with the Heat in the future. He is currently discussing the 2011 draft with his assistant coach team and Clippers general manager Neil O'Heir.

"Let's talk about your opinions. We now have the 15th pick in the first round traded from the Pacers, and the 7th and 17th picks in the second round." Ruan Erniu as the owner of the Clippers The coach and actual trade manipulator, said so at the meeting.

Almost everyone at the meeting looked at Neil O'Heir, because the Clippers originally had the No. 2.8 pick. In the draft lottery ceremony not long ago, the Cavaliers used the fast In the first round of the lottery, with a magical probability of [-]%, the No. [-] lottery was drawn.

Of course, whether there is any tricks in the league, it must be another story, but the big gift given by the Clippers to get rid of Baron Davis is also shocking enough.

O'Sher, who was stared at by everyone, said awkwardly: "I fully support Kraft's idea, and I have no objection."

Afterwards, the rest of the people expressed their opinions one after another. Er Niu’s strategy has already been set. The first thing he wants is Klay Thompson. If Thompson is selected in advance, the Clippers will focus on taking Kawhi Renner. Germany.

As for the draft favorites such as Kelly Irving, Derek Williams, and Cannath Kanter, they are not within the scope of their discussion. Under normal circumstances, these people will never fall out of the top ten picks, let alone the Clippers. The No.15 pick.

But the Clippers' chief assistant, Tom Thibodeau, who just took office, objected: "I don't think our first choice should be Klay Thomps. To be honest, whether this type of pitcher can gain a foothold in the league is a problem." , Their physical condition may not be able to shoot in the NBA.

Besides, we already have Eric Gordon, so it doesn't make much sense to pick another 2.

Leonard is a good choice, but I think the third and fourth position swingmen such as Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris brothers are also worth trying. "

Tyronn Lue on the side said: "I would like to mention Marshan Brooks. He has been to the Celtics for trial training. He is an excellent swingman at the 2nd and 3rd positions. From the point of view of scoring ability, I am more optimistic about his future. "

Steve Kerr was silent for a while, and said: "I am also optimistic about Klay Thompson. To be honest, with his size, he can be used as the third position. This is a pitcher worth looking forward to. Of course, the premise is that we can select him. , To be honest, I don’t know much about Leonard, but I trust Kraft’s judgment.”

Natalie Nakase had seen Thompson's trial training with her own eyes, and she also chose to agree with Er Niu's plan.

4:2, Ruan Erniu's first-round draft plan passed smoothly.

As for the selection of the second round, everyone seems to be careless. In fact, it is not that simple to want to buy treasures in this round.

Ruan Erniu is very optimistic that Steve Kerr can surprise him. After all, the Eagles cut off the sun's beard and successfully won Goran Dragic.

However, Cole did not give any strong recommendation this time, which not only made Erniu wonder whether it was Cole's own vision to choose Dragic, or the Suns uniform team's consistent high level of point guards.

Time flies, less than two weeks have passed since the Finals. On June 2011, 6, the 24 NBA Draft was held at the Prudential Center Arena in Newark, New Jersey.

Why choose to hold it here?

That's because it was also the last NBA draft for the New Jersey Nets. After the 2011-12 season, the team moved to Brooklyn, New York and changed its name to the Brooklyn Nets.

Team owner, bear tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov has long wanted to transfer the team to a larger urban area, Brooklyn, New York is obviously a better choice than New Jersey.

At this time, no one has guessed that the 2011 draft is not only a draft with a large number of talents, but more importantly, since this draft, the historical status of an NBA commentator has been established.

The day of the draft, when NBA fans watched the draft on TV as usual -- and have been doing it for a long time.

Then NBA Commissioner David Stern announced the No. [-] pick: "The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Kyrie Irving from Duke University."

Then something strange happened...

At 7:43 p.m., a Yahoo Sports commentator named Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted: "The Minnesota Timberwolves have told Derek Williams' team that they will use the No. Take him off."

Two minutes later, Stern stepped onto the stage and announced the same thing.

At 7:56 that night, he tweeted again: "A source revealed that the Cavaliers will take Tristan Thompson with the fourth pick."

A minute later, Stern announced the same thing again.

……

Then, the pundit, who could be called simply Woj, scooped up nearly half of the first-round picks tonight, hitting them all and missing none.

When talking about Woj's dominance in the 2011 NBA draft, the reporter of "Sports Business Daily" said: "This is the first time you have seen the power of Twitter (in terms of sports coverage)."

There are even the following miraculous stories happened.

"I just signed a player and before I could tell my colleagues outside the office, I heard them cheering outside the office. Because they saw the tweet that Woj just posted." A team manager Said, "At that time, I didn't even have time to hang up the phone. We were still discussing when to announce this decision. However, he already knew the news."

The engrossed Ruan Erniu and the Clippers uniform team were not distracted, and they didn't care whether Woj would fight to become a god and reach the pinnacle of his life.

After Kelly Irving, Derek Williams, Cannath Kanter, and Tristan Thompson were successively selected, the Raptors chose Valanciunas, the Wizards chose Yang Wesley, and the Kings Bismack Biyombo was selected, the Pistons selected Brandon Knight, and the Bobcats selected Kemba Walker.

The 11th pick, the Bucks won Jimmer Fredart, who will become the lonely god by Shanghai fans in the future, and the No. [-] pick, something that disappointed Ruan Erniu happened, the Golden State Warriors did not Ruan Erniu chose Klay Thompson hesitantly, and Ruan Erniu missed the player he wanted most.

"Damn Jerry West!" Ruan Erniu cursed inwardly, he knew too well who was leading the result.

With the No.12 pick, the Jazz chose Alec Burks.

With the No.13 pick, the Suns choose Markieff Morris.

With the No.14 pick, the Rockets chose Marcus Morris.

The Clippers uniform team leader breathed a sigh of relief, and Er Niu wrote a note that could determine the direction of the Clippers in the next 10 years.

With the No.15 pick, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Kawhi Leonard, who was born in Riverside, California and came from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
