Chapter 328: An embarrassing list
There is little controversy about the point guard rankings.
Although Steve Nash led the team to recreate the "Kombat Whirlwind" of the year, averaging 16.4 points and 11 assists per game, Chris Paul averaged 18.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game is not worse than him, and Paul also has 2.1 steals in hand, and the turnover ratio is also better than Steve Nash.
What's more, in the two matchups where the two sides met, Chris Paul had the last laugh.
In addition, now all kinds of public opinion in the outside world have tacitly accepted that Chris Paul is the league's No. 1 point guard, especially now that the Hornets are weaker than in the previous two years, and they can still rank eighth in the West.
Combining these factors, Chris Paul is ranked first among point guards.
The only thing that is a little controversial is that Deron Williams is in third place, averaging 18.7 points, 10.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game, Deron Williams is no worse than Chris Paul in all aspects, and the Jazz have won both games against the Hornets so far, and he is a natural "Paul nemesis", but he can only be ranked third.
This is where Jazz fans are dissatisfied, how can a guy who has been seen and beaten by Deron Williams sit in the first position of point guard?
Shooting guards are less controversial than point guards, with one Kobe Bryant, two Wade, and three Roy, which are currently recognized as the best three in the league's No. 2 position.
It's also embarrassing.
The league's scoring guards have unwittingly transitioned from the "era of the four-percentile battle" to the "era of the three-percentile ranking."
And the original four quartiles, Allen Iverson is infinitely close to retirement, Maddie is gradually marginalized in the team's role, Carter is better than the two of them, but now it is only the status of the team's second and third leaders, and the only strong one is Kobe Bryant!
It is even more regrettable that after the era of "three-quarter ranking", the league can no longer come up with a decent scoring guard.
At one time, it was reduced to the point of one Klay Thompson and two James Harden as the representative.
Well, Klay had only been in the league for less than three years at the time, and Harden was still in the arms of Kardashian, these two goods represented the NBA's scoring guards, so you can imagine how withered the league's No. 2 talent was at that time.
I have to mention that Brandon Roy, the current No. 3 big man in the league on the scoring guard, this is his fourth season in the league, but he already has the title of "Yellow Mamba".
If it weren't for the injury, he would be the flag-bearer of the league's future scoring guard, but unfortunately, next season, he will be reimbursed for injury!
There are some people whose injuries are inevitable, such as Derrick Rose, whose style of play is destined for him to suffer from injuries, and Brandon Roy, whose injuries are because his knee has become a "time bomb" that doesn't know when it will explode in college, and it is also for this reason that he was only ranked 6th in the 06 draft, otherwise with his average of 20 points per game in college, he would not have won the top prize, and he would definitely be in the top three.
Eventually, the "ticking time bomb" exploded and Brandon Roy fell.
What is still unforgettable is the first round of the playoffs when Brandon Roy returned after removing the meniscus, and in the fourth game against the Mavericks, Roy scored 18 points in the fourth quarter to lead the team to a shocking 23-point comeback.
It's worth mentioning that it was 2011, the year the Mavericks finally won the championship.
Brandon Roy played an admirable game, which was his last highlight reel, and there has been no "yellow mamba" in the league since.
Roy was just 28 years old that year, and his style of play was exactly the age when he was entering his prime.
Unfortunately, injuries have made it a pity.
The rankings on the shooting guard are clear. There is no controversy about the power forward, Tim Duncan 17.1 points and 10.1 rebounds ranked first, as the Spurs' anchor, his stable performance for more than ten years still makes him still occupy the title of "the league's first big forward", not only occupying the first power forward when he is active, but he is still the first after retiring, don't you say it's annoying? Oops, the old man is very bad!
In second place is Chris Posh.
In fact, judging from the state and data, Chris Bosh with 24 points and 10.8 rebounds should be in the first place, but the Raptors did not have a good performance and couldn't even get into the top eight in the East, which was the main reason why he couldn't surpass Duncan.
After all, simply brushing the data, with Tim Duncan's strength, it is not difficult to brush 24 plus 10.
In third place is Dirk Nowitzki, his statistics are not bad, 25 points and 7.8 rebounds, but in 06 in the finals by Wade led the team from 0-2 to 4-2, and in 07 in the playoffs by the Warriors 4-0 to complete the "Black Eight Miracle", the soft hat is still buttoned on his head! How could these experts possibly put him in the league's No. 1 forward position?
Dirknowitsky: Lao Tzu will endure for another year, and I will let you kneel next year!
The center forward position is another embarrassing scene.
Last year's All-NBA second center and third center were all omitted from the list, O'Neal because he was really old, and Yao Ming because he was reimbursed for the season.
In addition to Howard, who is still standing, the other two guys who have been added are Amarestad Mayer and Andrew Bogut.
Think about the "four centers" in the 90s, Mo Ning couldn't squeeze into the heyday of the top-level centers, and then look at the current three, the gap that anyone can see.
In particular, Andrew Bogut appeared in this list, which made people dumbfounded, he was only the third leader in the Bucks, and his data was only 14.6 plus 10.9, and he was already the top three guys in the league at the center position!
This was something that could not have happened before.
But if you look at the current league, it's a bit difficult to find a better center than Andrew Bogut to take his place.
Bynum, known as the "Little Shark", has taken a "15 plus 8" statistic for the third year in a row, and he has not been able to make greater progress, and he is not even a three-man in the Lakers.
As for others, such as Joakin Noah and the like, it can be seen that they are growing, and this is also the reason, at present, compared to Andrew Bogut, it is somewhat meaningless, at least Bogut alone supports the Bucks' interior defense, which is something that Joakim Noah can't compare.
In short, it is a surprise that Andrew Bogut is on this list, but it is not a surprise that he is on the list when there is no choice.
Perhaps it is for this reason that all the fans who see the list will sigh!
The above is the fans' views on other positions other than the small forward position, there are not many objections, more are sighs, but in the small forward position, the controversy is a bit big!
