Chapter 658: 【Group Wisdom, Opening War】

ESPN also introduced a new player list this year, ranking the strength of the league players every season.
James ranked first, followed by Howard, Wade, Nowitzki, Durant, Paul, Yao Ming, Kobe...
This list is the only one to fry the pan in the NBA fan base, attracting countless people to spit.
It was only the past year that Howard was beaten by Yao Ming in the 2009 finals, and he came to the front again. Many people think that this is because they don't want to admit that the two NBA's most powerful players, James and Wade, form a team.
Yao Ming had 1 win and 6 losses in the preseason. They were considered low by experts, but still ranked in front of Kobe. Many people reacted the same way: Kobe ranked eighth?
I have to say that ESPN is very fun. The attraction of sports is not only the outcome but also the topicality.
Who is strong and who is weak among players is a topic that runs through the entire history of sports. Every item is compared, and no one can escape. People watch the Three Kingdoms love to talk about Lu Er, Zhao Sandian Wei, and Jin Yong martial arts also have martial arts rankings. As a media, it is a correct and worthy practice to promote this kind of discussion from a professional perspective without catering to or avoiding it.
ESPN did not choose this topic by hand, but invited 210 basketball experts to score 1-10 points, and averaged to get the final ranking. That is to say, ESPN wants to use the list of who is black, they must first convince these 210 people to have the same idea.
These 210 people cover website editors, radio anchors, senior reporters, data experts, former players, former coaches, transition players with NBA management experience, etc., which is a group wisdom closer to the public's point of view.
Being repeatedly viewed low, Kobe chose silence. Although Komi thought it was a ranking that lacked respect, Kobe dared not speak harshly. He was even a little thankful, because being underestimated is always better than being overestimated, especially since he has found that it is difficult for the Lakers to achieve good results in the new season.
It is the Big Three of the Cavaliers who are really under tremendous pressure, because they are too high, and the media are consciously killing them, including Facebook.
Holding a person to a very high height, higher than his own ability, and then suddenly falling, is probably one of the most shady tricks in the world. Even if he can still live physiologically, he is absolutely discouraged psychologically, because there is no place to be high again when he starts again.
As long as the Cavaliers fail to win the championship this year, they are waiting to be drowned by fans.
On October 26, the NBA's new season opener kicked off.
The Cavaliers VS Clippers live broadcast throughout the United States, far more attention than the Spurs VS Mavericks opener.
The "Bull War" has seen more people. Yang Rui brought the rebuilt Clippers to the Big Three. This is the first time in NBA history that the gimmick is even more abundant.
The Clippers players came to the locker room early to chat, and the atmosphere was very warm. They all want to win, and the first battle proves themselves.
Yang Rui entered the locker room, clapped his hands, gathered the players together, and said aloud: "Tell everyone the good news, the outside world predicts the game, most people are optimistic about the Cavaliers' victory, as long as we win today, it is cold and weak to win. , Will get a higher evaluation. I can’t think of how the Cavaliers can break the defense, so we will definitely win.

The mentality of the players relaxed all at once. Yang Rui was particularly good at defying the enemy strategically, paying attention to the enemy tactically, and enhancing the confidence of the team's players.
Yang Ruila passed the tactical board in the locker room and took a few strokes to mark the player's identity with numbers. "The key to winning today is the 122 joint defense. The Cavaliers lack a three-point shooter. All you have to do is to defend the penalty area. Chris (Paul) moves in the periphery and follows the defense. There is not much accident. They will not let Wei Germany plays point guard..."
After talking about defense, Yang Rui drew offensive tactics. "The key to our pick-and-roll is the misplaced singles and empty cuts. DeAndre (Jordan) covers Chris in the middle and Blake (Griffin) runs more, otherwise we can't break the joint defense..."
Yang Rui arranged positional warfare in a targeted manner to ensure the speed of defense. As long as the Cavaliers were not allowed to fight back, their attack would be blocked. The main point of the first quarter was to defend firmly.
During the warm-up, Curry showed a good feel, hitting three points, but for the team to win better, he had to play off the bench. Yang Rui let him compete for the best sixth man this season, practicing defense defensively, at least not a black hole.
The Cavaliers are also practicing three-pointers, which is not very good. Now Bosh has not increased the range. James's three-pointer hits iron. Although Miller is accurate, he will not start.
CCTV5 live game, Zhang reasonable said: "Yang Rui is confident to turn the Clippers into a championship team. After Paul joined, the Clippers have been very strong. Their pre-season record is better than the Cavaliers. If they get a good start today, they will definitely mention it. Morale."
Yu Jia laughed: "I guess the Cavaliers are under great pressure. They can't afford to lose. After a summer of hype, if they lose in the first game, the Big Three will become a joke."
Clippers start: Paul, Korver, Guy, Griffin, Jordan Jr.
Korver's preseason performance was worthy of a three-year 15 million contract, which stabilized the starting position.
The 29-year-old Korver is 201CM tall and weighs 96 kilograms. He is at the peak of his career. He shot 53.6% from the 3-point range last season. He played three seasons under Jazz Sloan and his defense has improved a lot.
Korver's shot is too bully B, the league's top star has to be thrown away several streets, he averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game in the preseason, shooting 47.2%.
Cavaliers start: Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh, Valejo.
Adelman arranged the lineup based on the state of training. Chalmers had a mediocre physical quality and similar advantages to Korver. He also did not come chaotically. He played steadily and could shoot three-pointers~EbookFREE.me~Frankly That's it, this point guard has average ability and won't succeed. He passes the ball to the star after halftime, and honestly waits for the pass on the outside.
Chalmers, who shot 36.2% of his three-pointers in the preseason, was the most accurate three-pointer in the Cavaliers' start. This is a tragedy.
Jordan jumped the ball and easily won Valejo, the game began.
Paul received the ball in the peripheral organization and waited for his teammates to pull away. Jordan pulled out of the three-point line to cover Paul and blocked Wade. Paul took the right and attracted Bosh to change defense.
Upon temptation, Paul saw that the Cavaliers were a joint defense, and did not allow Chalmers to play against him, so he had the advantage of holding the ball singles.
Paul finds the gap and points the ball to the middle. Little Jordan takes the ball and cuts it. The knight formation shrinks quickly. James withdraws and blocks the penalty area with Valecho.
If Jordan would respond, passing the ball to Guy on the left is a good shooting opportunity, but he didn’t see his teammates at all. After receiving the ball, there was only the rim left in his eyes. Dunk.
Is it possible for Valejo to be detained? When he was defending, he looked only one and a half meters tall, his arms were not raised, and he turned halfway around to pose as if he wanted to hide, and his shoulders just pushed under Jordan's crotch.
If this happens, Jordan will have to be a TJ like many authors from the starting point of the Chinese website. Fortunately, Jordan did not jump so correctly. The consequence of the error was that he lost his center of gravity in the air, the basketball took off, and he was planted.
Valecho also fell to the ground and was much softer, but from the referee's point of view, he wanted to avoid it and was knocked down by Jordan.
Since Valecho was standing a little before the reasonable collision zone, the referee whistled, and Jordan was judged to hit the ball with the ball, and the ball belonged to the Cavaliers.
Little Jordan was unharmed and immediately got up to find the referee theory. Yang Rui was covering his face with one hand on the sidelines. This rough brother was too speechless.
