Chapter 457: Player strength ranking

After the morning training, Xu Xuan returned home. At 11:30, after eating a nutritious meal sent by the nutritionist, before 12 o'clock, Xu Xuan was in the study to read the news.
Today is the announcement day of the list!
At first glance, it was the media.
They like to do things at this time, for fear that the world will not be chaotic, just like this time strength ranking.
There are two types of strength rankings, one is player strength and the other is team strength.
Player strength Xu Xuan has nothing to pay attention to, he must be in the top ten, maybe still in the top three.
On the team strength, Xu Xuan would like to see what the outside world thinks of the Lakers.
At 12 noon, the three major media announced the final rankings at the same time. Xu Xuan refreshed the entire browser and all three web pages were refreshed.
First of all, of course, look at the player strength rankings, this is also the headline!
On the ESPN side, I have been praising James for the past few years. There is no doubt that Lao Zhantou Lianzhuang is the first one this time. Even if he only took the runner-up in the Eastern Conference last season, ESPN still gave James the first place.
The second is Curry, the third is Durant, Xu Xuan actually only ranks fourth.
Fifth is thick eyebrows, sixth is Kawaii, seventh is Westbrook, eighth is Chris Paul, ninth is Harden, and tenth is pickled pepper.
Lillard, Downs, Griffin, Owen, and Cousins ​​were all ranked out of 10.
This ranking is from ESPN.
For Sports Illustrated, James is the first, but Durant is the second, Curry is the third, Xu Xuan is the fourth, Harden is the fifth, Kawaii is the sixth, and the seventh is pickled pepper. Eighth is Westbrook, ninth is my gun, and tenth is thick eyebrows.
Xu Xuan is fourth on both lists, and James is both first.
However, when he saw the form of TNT, Xu Xuan smiled happily.
Sure enough, TNT didn't let him down. The first one was not the hair loss monster James, but him, Xu Xuan.
In terms of TNT, Xu Xuan has been praised for the past two years, and several of their commentaries have a good relationship with Xu Xuan. Barkley is known as "the world's largest and strongest Xuan fan."
The headline is "Xu Xuan tops the league."
TNT’s second place is James, third is Curry, fourth is Durant, fifth is Kawaii, sixth is Harden, seventh is Westbrook, eighth is Paul, and ninth is Pickled Pepper. , Tenth is Cousins.
Thick eyebrows were squeezed out of the top ten!
Xu Xuan grinned. Although ESPN and Sports Illustrated ranked him fourth, they also gave reasons.
It is because Xu Xuan has played a superstar performance in a system that suits him. In our opinion, he is one of the best five players in the league.
This one is more spiritual... You see, I didn't say that Xu Xuan is bad, just that his strength may be more inclined to system players.
Xu Xuan "won" the nickname of "the strongest system player" was first mentioned by ESPN.
After this point of view appeared, it was quickly recognized, and some people contributed to it, so that "the strongest system player" became his label.
After Xu Xuan broke out more and more fierce, ESPN also "launched" a new nickname, "the strongest explosive" player.
These two nicknames are put together, it looks good, the strongest + the strongest, but the basic meaning is that it is not good, it depends on the system and the explosion.
Finally, TNT helped Xu Xuan to "correct his name", and it was ESPN again, and continued to jump out to promote the old school!
After the "strongest system player", ESPN simply gave a "system superstar" nickname.
Not to mention, the official websites of the three major authoritative media are really ESPN's most replies and the highest popularity!
Obviously, to do things with ESPN, the other two media are far behind. Otherwise, ESPN will not be given a chance to stand up, and even ESPN has become the number one sports media in terms of traffic.
However, TNT, the media that most supports Xu Xuan, did not urge.
You dare to rank Xu Xuan to fourth, and you forcibly put the hat of "system superstar" on Xu Xuan's head. Of course, they don't know how to watch the show. They directly squeezed the thick eyebrows ranked fifth on ESPN out of the top ten. the sequence of.
Who is afraid of flowers.
Do you dare to rank thick eyebrows on ESPN, which means that Xu Xuan is similar to thick eyebrows?
I'll let you see, in our place, thick eyebrows are not even qualified to compare with Xu Xuan!
Also, there is really no comparison between the first and the first ten, and they are basically crushed.
TNT didn't stand up and didn't give any comment, but this ranking can be seen.
Fans with thick eyebrows and Pelicans fans expressed dissatisfaction with this ranking of TNT, saying that they should never watch TNT this commentary and live broadcast.
TNT doesn't care either. ESPN ranks Xu Xuan in fourth. Xu Xuan's fans and Lakers fans also said that they want to disagree with them. Who has more fans and who has the most influence?
...
Except for the player's strength ranking, the team's strength ranking has no waves.
No way, everyone is optimistic about the Warriors now, and the Eastern Conference is optimistic. Actually, as for the Lakers...Xu Xuan's personal strength is worth discussing, but the team's strength...knowledge.
TNT does not have the head iron either. Xu Xuan’s personal abilities must be topped. The team’s strength is hard to say. In the end, the Lakers only ranked tenth in the Western Conference. TNT was ranked in the top eight, but only The first eight.
In the West, the first is the Warriors, the second is the Clippers, the third is the Spurs, the fourth is the Trail Blazers, the fifth is Mosaic, the sixth is the Jazz, the seventh is the Thunder, and the eighth is the Lakers.
This is the team strength ranking given by TNT.
But just look at this thing. Xu Xuan threw it aside after reading it. There was no need to hold it.
After a rest for the afternoon, I slept, adjusted my mood, and prepared for the game.
The Lakers and Mosaic have a high degree of attention in this game. Everyone wants to see what kind of answers the two teams that can be considered to be very dynamic in the regular season.
As mentioned earlier, there is not much reinforcement on the mosaic, but every stroke is very important, such as Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon. v5
Anderson is 28 years old. As a rookie with the 21st overall pick in the first round of 2008, it is worth mentioning that he once served as a substitute for the UAE.
After switching to the Magic, Anderson also partnered with Howard. Despite his height of 2.08 meters, Anderson is a perimeter turret. In his career, he averaged 2 three-pointers per game, and the perimeter shooting rate was 37.7%.
Last season, Anderson played for the Pelicans, starting 7 times in 66 games, averaging 17 points and 6 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per game, shooting 42.7% from the field and 36.6% from the three-point field.
This is an "outside anti-aircraft gun" that is more similar to Frye. They are slightly less antagonistic. They are definitely not as short and thick as Green, but they can open up space on the outside line to create opportunities for the main force.
In Xu Xuan's view, Gordon had much better attributes than Anderson.
This guy will be called one of the "double boarding combinations" in the future.
The three-pointer is very sharp. In the 2008 NBA Draft, he was selected by the Clippers with the 7th overall pick in the first round. And soon showed his prowess in the league. In the 2010-11 season, Gordon averaged 22.3 points per game, reaching the peak of his career. It is for this reason that in the summer of 2011, the Clippers used Gordon as a core bargaining chip to obtain Paul through a trade.
After switching to the Pelicans, Gordon continued to suffer injuries and his scoring declined. But last season Gordon played 45 games for the team, averaging 15.2 points in 32.9 minutes, of which his three-point shooting percentage was 38.4%, and in his career, Gordon averaged three-point shooting percentage. 38.3%.
Mosaic signed two Pelicans consecutively, is committed to building a team around Harden. Both Anderson and Gordon are players with excellent outside shooting ability. Last season, although Mosaic shot crazy three-pointers from the outside, the accuracy was so poor that his record was fluctuating. From this point of view, Mosaic has made up for it this summer.
...
Two teams that have changed a lot have played the opener, and there are topics and stars. As early as the end of the preseason, this game has been very popular.
Observe the opponent carefully in the first game, of course, to win! Losing the night with the ring is too ugly.
...
Media interview before the game.
"Xu, what do you think is the goal of the Lakers in the new season?" The reporters continued to ask.
"Strive to win the championship on the premise of reaching the playoffs!"
Xu Xuan knew that the media were waiting for him, so he planted the flag generously. As for Xu Xuan if he failed to win the championship by then, he would not panic, because he used the word "striving hard" instead of being certain or certain.
Xu Xuan has been interviewed a lot now, and so have various insights.
Simply put, speaking is more proficient. A group of reporters regretted that the hot spots they wanted did not appear. For example, Xu Xuan expressed his sympathy for "the underdog without a champion," or expressed his expectation for a bright future. They were all arrogant.
accurate.
...
On the 26th, sunny Los Angeles.
Zhenfeng and Rili are going to hell.
However, the City of Angels is very hot today!
It's so hot that others feel like it's going to burst!
No way, although the home game has already been played in the preseason, but that is meaningless. In the eyes of many fans, the regular season means the official start of the new season.
So, I don’t know from which day there have been many more Lakers fans in Los Angeles, especially on the day of the game. Those who bought tickets entered the stadium happily; those who did not buy tickets were watching the big screen outside. ; Also in the bar, at home...
I don't know how many people are watching this game at this time.
When the official announcement began, almost in the blink of an eye, the huge Staples Center was filled with crazy fans.
The arena that can accommodate 19,000 people hardly even blisters, unlocking the achievement of "full seats".
The Staples Center is in the center of Los Angeles. When there are 3 kilometers away from the arena, you can see three buildings side by side in the distance. There are huge portraits of the Lakers’ three historical centers Chamberlain, Kareem and O’Neal. This is Apple's advertisement on the three main buildings of the Figaro Hotel opposite the Staples Center. The three centers have different actions, and O'Neal has the highest position. Although this is a commercial advertisement, it most intuitively promotes the Lakers' center tradition.
A huge "Let'sgo, Lakers!'" banner is hung at each entrance of the arena, and the electronic display boards are constantly turning over the Lakers' history of winning championships and entering the finals, and the glorious history of Introduction of the Lakers star. Outside the arena there are five statues about the Los Angeles Lakers, namely Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Karim Abdul-Jabbar, legendary commentator Zike Hearn and Shark O’Neill .
One of O’Neal’s one has not yet been completed, but Xu Xuan heard that the Lakers are already preparing to build the statue of Kobe Bryant in advance. If the speed is fast, maybe the two statues can be unveiled at the same time. It's interesting...
Staples looks a bit like buildings in outer space, and the night sky of Los Angeles always gives the arena the mark of Hollywood. The scoreboard in the arena is the best in the entire NBA, even fans sitting in the highest stands can see clearly.
At 6:20 in the evening on October 26, 2012, 20 minutes earlier than usual, Mosaic players have already begun to be introduced.
In the mosaic player channel, Xu Xuance saw the opponent's bench lined up in two rows amid the low introduction sound of the live DJ.
Harden, Gordon, Capela, Anderson, Ariza, Nene...
Staples Arena is worthy of being one of the most popular home stadiums in the NBA~EbookFREE.me~ When introducing the players of the two teams, the cheers of the fans on the scene have made Xu Xuan fully experience the NBA. Kind of feeling.
Today, the Mosaic team activated only 10 people on the roster.
Next came the home team players entering the field. The substitutes had already lined up in two rows in front of the player channel amidst the cheers of the fans on site. Xu Xuan was definitely the finale. There is no doubt about this.
The game is about to begin, young rookies Ingram and Zubac and even Yi Jianlian are a little nervous.
Although Zubac is not a starter, after all, it is the first time he has been selected for the big squad. He is about to participate in professional competitions. The cheers that sounded from the world again, saying that he is not nervous, it is fake.
Yi Jian is also the same. He hasn't felt what it feels like in the NBA regular season for a long time. Although the Olympics scene is big, it is completely different from now.
The Olympic Games is to win glory for the country, and now it is for yourself!
Ingram was not afraid of life. After a while, he began to watch around. It was not the first time for him to come to the player channel of the Lakers, but now he looked fresh and felt different everywhere.
But he thought again that he seemed to be starting, and he didn't know if he could score or help the team at that time. He was a little swayed while standing.
Press one hand on the shoulder.
Brother Ying turned his head and saw a smiling face. It was Xu Xuan. Xu Xuan did not speak, but patted him on the shoulder.
For some reason, when Ingram saw this smile, the tense atmosphere disappeared instantly, and it was replaced by endless courage to move forward.
What are you afraid of, there are adults behind me!
If you lose, you will lose. If you don't play well, you won't play well. How can you lose a piece of meat?
