Chapter 238: Who's Better?

This hype incident, in terms of overall effect, is still extremely good.

After this happened, Cao Jian also showed his face in front of fans across the United States, and fans also searched for information about Cao Jian, and through various human flesh searches, Cao Jian also became a celebrity for a while.

By looking at Cao Jian's various resumes, fans also found that Cao Jian is not simple, he is really not simple, he is only nineteen years old this year, but at the age of nineteen, he has done things that many people may not be able to complete in a lifetime.

Entered the NBA as a free agent.

This is one of them.

Don't underestimate this matter, for many people, this thing may not be completed in a lifetime.

Where is the NBA so easy to enter.

Anyone, a player who can enter the NBA, even if you are a marginal character in it, but at least, you are one of the more than 400 people in the world.

This is something that many people have dreamed of for a long time in their lives.

Moreover, Cao Jian didn't just enter the alliance.

Although he has not been drafted in the lotto area, judging from Cao Jian's current performance, he is no worse than the geniuses of some famous basketball families and famous basketball schools who have been drafted in the lotto area, or even surpassed.

It's not blowing it out.

Before the All-Star break, Cao Jian entered the Rookie All-Rookie Team, and he was also the favorite for the "Rookie of the Year" position.

And after the All-Star Game, Cao Jian beat Wade and Bosh even more. Entering the top three, James and Anthony are just ahead of him.

There are even some people who believe that Cao Jian's performance is better than these two.

But. More people believe that although Cao Jian's three-point shot is unsolvable, and his offensive ability is excellent, which is rare in the league, he still can't compare to Anthony and James, mainly because Cao Jian's defense is too bad.

On the defensive end. He existed like a colander.

He shouldn't be the "Rookie of the Year."

He doesn't deserve to be the "Rookie of the Year" either.

For a while, the question of who became the "best rookie" among the three of James, Anthony and Cao Jian. It has also become a hot topic.

In response to this topic, various media have also launched a lot of reports.

In this regard, various media in the United States have also written articles one after another to put forward their own views.

Among them, extremely well-known media. There are the following:

Sports Illustrated senior reporter Chris Brown. Writing this, Manix said:

These three people. Everyone has their own characteristics, LeBron is well-rounded, Carmelo is excellent in the middle distance, and Cao is not one of the top scorers, and it is a difficult question to choose who can be selected as the best rookie among these three people.

However, if you really want to choose. I would go with LeBron because he's explosive. He's also extremely versatile, both offensively and defensively.

Comparatively, Carmelo is a bit worse, he attacks well, but he doesn't defend well.

And Cao Jian is even more so, he is simply on the defensive end, sorry, please forgive me for saying something unpleasant, he is a colander.

But, in terms of his physicality, he's done well enough.

In addition to Sports Illustrated, other media outlets also put forward different views, and ESPN also made a special report:

It's an interesting topic because these three rookies are very interesting, they all have outstanding rookie seasons, and, consistently, they have a lot to offer.

Choosing one of the three to be the best player among them is a really difficult choice and I don't even know how to choose.

However, if there is really no way to choose, I will choose Anthony.

Compared to Cao and LeBron, Carmelo is better, more experienced, and more reasonable in handling the ball, so I chose him.

In many media in the United States, the views are similar to the above two, they believe that the title of "best rookie" is either LeBron or Carmelo, and Cao Jian has become their third choice.

Although Cao Jian's performance is extremely good, because Cao Jian's physical fitness cannot be compared with either LeBron and Carmelo, they have also become the third choice of various media and so-called experts.

This is extremely frustrating for any fan who supports Cao Jian.

Cao Jian didn't say much about this result?

This thing is too tiring, since he accepted the task of winning the "best rookie", Cao Jian has never thought of completing it so easily, and now he can rise to the third choice, which is also a great affirmation of Cao Jian's previous efforts, and Cao Jian did not ask for more.

At the same time, this encounter also made Cao Jian realize a problem, here you want to survive, want to get results, because of the different skin color, you must be twice as strong as a black person, people may be willing to admit you.

Now Cao Jian's performance is better than LeBron and Anthony, as long as people are not blind, they can see Cao Jian's performance, but Cao Jian can only be ranked third among the candidates for "Best Rookie", which is inconsistent with the data played by Cao Jian.

However, Cao Jian still achieved this in the end.

This ranking, in China, fans are also extremely dissatisfied, and some extreme fans, even on the Internet, have scolded:

What bullshit ranking. Cao is the best rookie.

Blackbox operation!!

Fair. Demand justice.

Except for Cao Jian, no one is qualified to be selected as the best rookie.

Their brains are in water.

……

Cao Jian's fans are also spraying for Cao Jian on the Internet.

However, as a party to Cao Jian, he didn't say anything about this, he should eat, eat, sleep, sleep, train, train, compete, compete.

Everything is natural.

He has remained silent about this.

Nothing has been said about it publicly.

And Cao Jian actually. What are you doing?

In the last game against the Hornets, though, in the end, the Cavaliers also won the game. Cao Jian also completed the task of the system, which seems to be very successful.

However, Cao Jian does not think so.

ball, is won.

The task is also accomplished.

However, Cao Jian found that he had a big problem defending.

Although, the outside world commented that his defense was too much, Cao Jian's defense still existed. However, it's mostly for point guards who are speedy, if you're a power-type point guard like Davis.

Cao Jian didn't think he could defend them. Today's example of Davis is the best proof of this.

Knowing his loophole, Cao Jian was not easy, and he was also thinking about how to improve his strength and enhance his strength. to be able to fight against these powerful defenders without falling into the rain.

This is also the most important issue for Cao Jian to think about today.

Improves strength. Cao Jian's first thought was the system, and now the system can help him improve quickly.

Cao Jian is also in the right place.

It just so happens that the system also has a side quest: the battle of the derby, to win. Reward: 500000; Penalty: 5000000.

For this task, Cao Jian also considered it for a long time.

Battle of the Derby.

The derby game that the system is talking about must be a game between the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and this game is also scheduled for the third day after the Cavaliers finished playing the Hornets.

The Cavaliers take on the Rockets on the road.

The Rockets are currently in ninth place in the West, just 0.5 wins away from the Utah Jazz ahead of them.

Battle against the knights. They will also be looking to win and finish in the top eight in the West Division. It's their best chance to finish eighth in the West.

Otherwise, after the game against the Cavaliers, the Rockets need to face the Los Angeles Lakers, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Minnesota Timberwolves, which have the best record in the league today.

The rocket missed, and there was none.

It's not difficult for rockets to do this.

Although the Rockets are now in eighth place in the West Division, if their record is placed in the East Division, they are in the top five in the Eastern Conference, which is also appropriate.

In other words, the Rockets, who are eighth in the West Division, will still have a good chance of winning against the Cavaliers, who are seventh in the East Division.

It's just a matter of record.

If you are specific to the lineup, compared with the current lineup of the Cavaliers, the advantage of the Rockets lineup is also huge.

Since the Rockets Olajuwon led the team to win two consecutive championships, the Rockets have also entered a period of decline.

It wasn't until 1999, at the end of the 20th century, that they were once again in glory, with a triumvirate of Pippen, Olajuwon and Ross Barkley, which seemed to be very strong, but it was not.

Such a strong roster was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and then they collapsed, and in 2000 they finally missed the playoffs for the first time in 16 seasons, which is five years.

Although they got Francis after that, they never got a taste of the playoffs again until they drafted Yao Ming.

In the 2002 draft, the Rockets picked the first rookie champion with a non-American background in NBA history - Chinese center Yao Ming with the first pick, and finally ushered in a new era.

Yao Ming's debut season still failed to help the Rockets advance to the playoffs, but the Rockets' record has improved considerably.

And this season, the Rockets are back again, and this season they also brought in the defense-oriented Jeff. Van Gundy, he also brought his set into the Rockets.

Although, this season's Rockets' record is somewhat unsatisfactory, but, with the gradual tacit understanding of the season, coupled with the increasingly mature Yao Ming, they are also in the second half of the effort, all the way to catch up, from the bottom of the West Division, has been overcoming obstacles, soaring forward, and unconsciously they also came to the ninth in the West Division, only 0.5 wins away, ranking eighth in the West Division.

This season, the Rockets are also expected to enter the playoffs.
