Ye Xuan was suddenly embarrassed again, because he didn't expect that he would become the protagonist today, originally he thought that he was just one of the guests when he came to participate in this show, and the protagonist was still TNT's cross talk group, but Ye Xuan was not stage frightened, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately began to analyze it, "I think compared with the west, the situation in the east is much clearer, first of all, there are not many competitive teams, and the difference in combat effectiveness between teams is still obvious. Secondly, there are two mountains on the eastern side. I don't want to be so arrogant, but the Pacers are really strong right now, and we and the Cavaliers will be the top two in the East this year, there's no doubt about it, no surprises. ”

Hearing Ye Xuan's confident words, Barkley and the others burst into laughter again, but Kenny Smith quickly came back to his senses, and then said, "Indeed, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Pacers and the Cavaliers are indeed two teams that are comprehensively ahead of other Eastern teams in terms of strength, there is no doubt about it, but you should not forget that there is another team in the East called the Raptors, and unlike your two teams, the Raptors have also signed another big man this year like the Spurs. Didn't Carol of the Eagles just be kidnapped by them? The Raptors will definitely go up a notch next season, and even have a chance to wrestle with both of you. ”

Maddie also went on to say, "The Raptors played really well last season, but unfortunately their interior line is not particularly powerful, so they also snatched Bismarck Biyombo from the Hornets this summer, although Biyombo's offensive ability is very average, but his rebounding ability is still outstanding, and now the Raptors' lineup looks really good, similar to the Thunder team that reached the Finals that year, so I think they also have a chance to shine this season." ”

Several people expressed their opinions, but basically they were all talking about the Raptors and the Wizards, as a famous name of the Pacers, of course Miller couldn't bear it, so he immediately retorted, "I think only the Cavaliers can play against the Pacers in the East, and it is difficult for other teams to have any chance to beat the Pacers in a best-of-7 system, last season the Pacers made it to the Finals with a lack of interior players, and they also played with the Warriors when Ye Xuan was injured. I dare say that if it weren't for injuries last season, the final championship would have been the Cavaliers, if not the Pacers, and definitely not the Warriors. ”

Seeing that a few people did not refute, Miller still seemed a little unsatisfied, and then said, "And this season's Pacers have adjusted their lineup to be even better, although everyone is criticizing the addition of Rajon Rondo, but I think you should also know that Ye Xuan's scoring ability is not necessary to question, if Rajan can integrate into the team, then Ye will mention that the scoring guard will go up, let Paul play small forward, if he can't integrate into the team, you can also let him play as a backup point guard and lead the team's second team, It's like what he did with the Mavericks last season, so I don't think there's anything wrong with Rajan's arrival, and there are two defensive interior guards on the inside, and I believe most teams will have a headache about this, plus the strength of the Pacers themselves, I can't think of any reason why they shouldn't win the championship this year. ”

Miller blew wildly, Ye Xuan's face turned red, and he immediately said modestly, "No, no, although I also hope that the Pacers can win the championship, but we still can't be too proud and complacent, the Cavaliers also played with us last season after losing Irving and Love, so if they can ensure their health this season, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, plus they have added something on the bench this season in addition to renewing their contracts, So they don't need to worry about their lack of bench depth like last season, and when the time comes, whether we can beat the Cavaliers or not depends on their respective states. ”

Ye Xuan paused, and thought of a very important question, that is, his own injury, he himself knew that his injury was not as optimistic as reported by the outside world, in case he boasted about Haikou now, but did not perform well at the beginning of the season, then he would be ashamed, so as soon as the conversation changed, he immediately shifted the topic to this year's rookies, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the favorites to win the championship, let's talk about the future stars of the league, such as this year's champion Downs, What do you think of him? ”

Kenny Smith also knew that he couldn't put too much pressure on the guests, so he immediately took over the conversation, "Okay Ye, I know you don't want to expose too many tactics and stuff, so let's talk about it on another topic, since you've already asked, let's talk about these rookies this year." Karl Anthony Towns, as this year's No. 1 pick, was selected by the Timberwolves, so that the Timberwolves have two No. 1 picks, and last year's No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins played quite well, so what is the prospect of this year's No. 1 pick? Sark? As an insider, let's evaluate him. ”

Of course, O'Neal is also very picky, and he is naturally very good at picking this kind of thing, and immediately opened his mouth to comment: "Carl Anthony Towns is unanimously optimistic about the outside world and is considered to have the ability to become a star of Anthony Davis' level in the future." Downs is physically fit, has a good efficiency at the move, has a strong finishing ability, and can play both center and power forward. Downs has a solid foundation in the low post and can dribble skillfully with both hands. Downs is also an excellent blocker, moving faster than expected on defense, and has the ability to switch to smaller opponents in pick-and-rolls. ”

A lot of compliments were said, this is obviously not O'Neal's style, so the next thing is the main event, O'Neal also knows how to hang his appetite, and deliberately took a sip of water before continuing to say, "However, I think his growth space may not be particularly large, his skills have been basically formed, and his style of play has been basically fixed, and it is true that the league is very popular now and can pull the inside line to shoot three points, but his projection ability does need to be strengthened, You must know that there is still a lot of difference between the NCAA three-point line and the NBA, and the Timberwolves have been rotten for many years, so whether he shines or is a blockbuster in this team without winning genes depends on his adaptation later. ”

However, Maddie has his own opinion: "As a center forward with a height of 2.13 meters, Karl Anthony Towns not only has the height, weight and strength, but also excellent skills, which are enough to help him exert his influence on both offensive and defensive ends at the same time. Influenced by the family basketball atmosphere since childhood, Downs also has a high basketball IQ and a good sense of the game, and in training, he also works very hard and has a strong sense of competition. On the offensive end, Towns can play hooks with his back and can also pull up to mid-to-long range for jumpers, which is in line with the development trend of today's NBA. At the same time, Downs also has solid passing skills and good vision. On the defensive end, with his height and bounce, Towns can cover the entire basket, and he's a good blocker, along with good speed and can misposition players who are much shorter than him. Among the rookies in the class of 2015, Downs is indeed a very good choice. ”

Kenny Smith heard this and began to summarize, "Okay, it seems that T-Mac is more bullish on Downs, so now let's talk about the ceiling and template of Downs in your minds." ”

Ye Xuan spoke first, "I don't pay much attention to the NCAA game, but judging from the scouting report, I think he has a good chance to become another superstar-level figure, as for the template, I think Shaq makes a lot of sense, Anthony Davis is definitely her best template." ”

And others also gave their own answers at one time: "All-Star, the template is probably Kevin Garnett, but it depends on his development next." "That's Barkley's view.

Miller's opinion is different from everyone else: "I don't think much of this kid, although it's just my personal feeling, but I don't think he's the kind of character who can endure hardship, and he and Wiggins don't overlap in position, but their personalities are a little similar, I think the two of them are on the same team together will make the team look a little weak." ”

After talking about the champion, it is natural to talk about the list, Kenny Smith's rhythm is well controlled, and he immediately shifts the topic to the list, "Okay, after talking about the champion, let's talk about the list, D'Angelo Russell, who was selected by the Lakers with the second pick this year, what do you think of him." ”

Barkley seems to dislike this player, so he directly refused to comment on him, but as the core of the Lakers' three-in-a-row championship, O'Neal still has to stand up and help the Lakers' top eyes to speak, "D'Angelo Russell is in excellent physical condition, has excellent dribbling skills and good vision, is good at blocking and dismantling with teammates, is a point guard with strong scoring ability, and meets the requirements of a modern NBA point guard." The downside is that the athleticism is not outstanding, and the template set by the BA draft official website for Russell is Brandon Roy, and from a technical point of view, Russell Westbrooks is also somewhat similar to Damion Lillard. ”

After Russell's evaluation, O'Neal began to talk about his opinion: "I think if he can get enough opportunities, he should still be able to grow, he is very physical, so he can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game very quickly, if nothing else, he will be a good point guard." ”

And Ye Xuan also said at this time, "I don't think his future will be so smooth, you can find a rule, in the last ten years or so of the draft, there must be a parallel commodity every year, since you are so optimistic about Downs's future before, then I think Russell is likely to become the next parallel import." ”

Barkley on the side immediately answered: "D'Angelo Russell is not the type with amazing athletic talent, he relies more on great skill and sense of the game, has the standard size of a shooting guard, shooting ability and basketball IQ are his strengths, and can partner with any type of guard or wing." He is good at using pick-and-rolls, has excellent ability to change speed and direction, and has the ability to read defense to be outstanding among his peers. The shortcomings are the lack of absolute explosiveness, the first step start speed is average, the performance on the defensive end is a bit lazy, and the lateral movement speed is not fast. I think he has a very fatal flaw in addition to these situations, that is, his emotional intelligence is really very low. ”

After Barkley put forward this argument, he paused for a moment before continuing to say, "Actually, soon after he entered college, he had a conflict with the team's seniors, I don't want to say more, but I think his emotional intelligence is about equal to zero, and the Lakers will definitely be blamed by everyone for his various words and deeds, I bet, I dare to bet on kissing the ass again, if he has not been criticized by the media for his words and deeds in his career, I am willing to kiss the ass of the donkey again at his retirement ceremony!" ”

Barkley brought the donkey's ass out to say something, and several other people didn't dare to continue to pick up, so the evaluation of the top eye show could only be like this, and then several people commented on Tanhualang, in O'Neal's words, "Jaliel Okafor is a traditional back-to-back singles big man, and Duke's offense revolves around him, making the most of his offensive talent." Okafor has mastered a number of excellent low-post foot moves. Standing at 2.11 meters tall, he has an arm span of 2.26 meters, which gives him the physical conditions to be a nightmare for a pair player every night in the NCAA. And he can also seamlessly combine great body and soft shooting touch, which is why he stands out from his generation and is known all over the United States. However, his shortcomings are also very obvious, his lateral movement needs to be strengthened, and his explosiveness is not good, so it is not easy to grow. ”

Ye Xuan also said, "Of course, in fact, Okafor's biggest flaw is not in himself. In the inquiring eyes of everyone, Ye Xuan smiled, and then said a word, which immediately amused everyone, Ye Xuan said, "He is in the 76ers, everyone knows that they have been rebuilding for 10 years, the ghost knows if they are addicted, maybe they are in the collection game of potential rookies, from McCarvey and Noll in 13 years, to Embiid last year, to Okafor this year, I don't know when the 76ers will really be able to select players who can let them start rebuilding." ”
