Chapter 234: "Boss F" is still the boss

When people evaluate athletes, they always use cold data as the first reference. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Data doesn't lie" is the dogma that experts believe in the most.

Using data to evaluate athletes is, of course, the easiest way to do it.

Especially for those so-called "experts" who sit in their offices and don't have much time to watch the game live, they can't get to know an athlete through personal contact, what do you say?

Undoubtedly, it is much simpler to evaluate a person by the data on paper.

For NBA players, the data of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks are of course the most intuitive.

A player who averages 20+ points and 10+ rebounds per game is, of course, a star-level interior lineman.

A player who averages 25 points per game is, of course, a super scorer.

But "data can also deceive".

Players who can get good data must have the corresponding strength.

But with similar data, how do you evaluate which player is better?

The easiest and laziest way is, of course, to look at the team's record.

But that's not convincing either, because you have to consider different teammates.

In a strong team, there may be fewer opportunities to make a shot than in a bad team.

In a bad team, if you don't have good teammates, maybe it's more difficult to shoot, and the chances are not so good.

This is also a matter of the wise and the wise.

Experts who are superstitious about data also have their own ways to deal with it.

So, on the basis of the players' simple statistics, they began to pay attention to the shooting percentage again.

Furthermore, complex data such as "assist-to-turnover ratio", "true shooting percentage", "victory contribution value", "efficiency value", "offensive efficiency", "defensive efficiency", "usage rate", and "assist rate" also came into being.

As more and more science and technology are applied to basketball, the data becomes more and more complex to the point that the average football fan simply does not understand it.

For experts, it seems that their evaluation of players is not convincing without listing a large number of complex data.

But in fact, for fans who really love basketball, they may care about winning or losing, but what excites them more than the data is the wonderful game.

Personal data is just the icing on the cake to add a little talk to the competition.

But the management of NBA teams still has a lot of people who are superstitious about statistics.

The most famous is undoubtedly the Morey of the later Rockets, a controversial "magic ball" theory, which prevailed for a while.

Either a layup or a three-pointer is the most efficient offense in Morey's eyes.

The mid-range, which Jordan excels at, has become the least efficient means of scoring, which of course will cause controversy.

Scouts and managers, data is also the most important factor to consider when selecting people.

Some people even use data as a criterion for selecting people.

But if you are too superstitious about data, a problem will arise.

The "data emperors", subconsciously, have a big premise, that is, they think that the performance of players is determined by their past performance.

The past, of course, is the most important basis for predicting the future, but it cannot determine the future.

A watery poplar slut, you certainly wouldn't expect her to be a chastity martyr in the future.

But a pure girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, you can't be sure that she will not become a runaway woman in the future.

Players are people, not machines, in addition to physical bodies, there are also spiritual feelings.

But feelings are a very unstable thing, and they can't be seen or touched.

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to get to know a player mentally.

It also gives many managers an excuse to be lazy and not pay attention to the mental problems of the players at all, but only care about their past stats and current bodies.

However, "people change", in a different environment and in a different position, how can we ensure that his performance is the same as in the past, or even better?

Even with Lu Xiaofeng's perseverance and love for basketball, after one game after another, there will inevitably be slackness.

In the game against the Grizzlies, he sleepwalked on the court at the beginning for several reasons:

First of all, of course, he stole He Xiaoyi, and he was riddled with trivial matters;

secondly, because the opponent is too weak, he can't inspire his fighting spirit;

And fundamentally, it's because I just entered the NBA, and I suddenly played so intensively all of a sudden, and I was mentally fatigued.

Physical fatigue, and unusual talents to alleviate.

Mentally tired, Lu Xiaofeng has no special ability to help.

Compared with others, Lu Xiaofeng is the easiest.

Think about other rookies who can't solve physical fatigue alone.

For those blacks who came out of the slums, the mental shock was even more exaggerated.

From food and clothing difficulties to millionaires, it's like buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot.

I used to live in a dilapidated house in a slum, but now I live in a luxury villa.

I used to drive miscellaneous second-hand broken cars, but now there are more BMW Mercedes-Benz Ferraris.

In the past, when chasing the girls you liked, you had to pick a cheap one to open a house, but now there are countless beautiful women sent to the door.

"No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains",

No one paid attention to it before, but now a large number of relatives and friends have suddenly appeared.

Those talented newcomers who have just entered the NBA, all of them are not yet twenty years old, and they often don't read much, how many of them are not fluttering with such a big impact?

Luxury houses, famous cars, beautiful women, who can resist the temptation?

"Don't forget the original intention", it's easy to say, how many people still remember?

Even if you remember, how many people can hold on?

Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng has always believed that the spirit of the players is more important than the physical talent.

Think about those parallel goods, Olovo Kandi, Kwame Brown, Milicic, which one is not physically gifted?

There are also those comet players who have disappeared in a flash, some of them are indeed due to injuries, but more of them are mentally slack.

For those players who have lost their fighting spirit and love for basketball, what is the use of no matter how good the talent is?

There is another category of people, and the representative of them is the upcoming Magic point guard Francis.

Francis, who is known as "Boss Fu" by Chinese fans, Lu Xiaofeng certainly knows it very well.

After beating the grizzly bear, he went to play magic again, and the confrontation with Francis seems to be a coincidence in the dark.

Francis's story begins with the grizzly bear.

In the 1999 draft, Francis was drafted by the Grizzlies after Brand, and the ranking was still above Odom.

At that time, the grizzly bears were not in Memphis, but in Vancouver, Canada.

For this reason, Francis, who is a top pick, refused to sign with the Grizzlies.

This is really unimaginable in the future.

But at the time, the Grizzlies still chose to compromise and traded Francis's signing rights to the Rockets through a three-way trade with the Rockets and Magic.

Francis' NBA career started with a trade, and he played a big game before he even entered the NBA.

He is also a genius, scoring 18+6 in his first season, sharing the Rookie of the Year with Brand, and also becoming the first player in Rockets history to win the Player of the Week in his rookie season.

Naturally, Fran Qiqi became the boss of the rocket.

By the 2001-02 season, Francis had scored 15+5+5 for three consecutive seasons, which was the third person after "Big O" and Magic.

It was also from that season that Francis became an All-Star Western starting guard for three consecutive years, and the fans' love for him can be seen.

With such a strong body and outstanding skills, and loved by fans, it is said that his prospects in the NBA should be a smooth road.

It's a pity that "character determines fate".

The genius Francis also has the common problem of other geniuses - unruliness, which can be seen from the refusal to sign with the Grizzlies.

was originally the "Boss Fu" who took great care of Yao Ming, but because Yao Ming grew up, it affected his status in the team and had a conflict with coach Van Gundy.

In the end, because of a football game, despite Van Gundy's ban, he left the team and acted alone, which completely angered Van Gundy.

This became the trigger for Francis to be traded.

This is probably also something that the management of the rocket did not take into account back then.

He is a good sword, a sharp sword, but he can't control it, so what is the use of a good sword?

Only the person with the sword will be harmed.

"The tree moves the dead and the man moves the living", Francis was traded to magic, but it was rejuvenated.

Looking at it now, he and Maddie swapped owners, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.

Lu Xiaofeng knew that this was Francis's last glory, short-lived, and from then on, he was not as good as a year after year, and he was completely degenerate.

But at least for now, he is still Lu Xiaofeng's fierce rival.

Lu Xiaofeng is very happy and looking forward to it.
