ESPN's "roundtable" threw out a timely topic:

"Let's reorder the big forwards in the league right now!"

Everyone knows that this topic was born because of Woody's 51 points in a single game.

Tim Duncan still sits firmly in the first place.

Not only because he now has 2 championship trophies, as well as 2 regular season MVP trophies and 2 finals MVPs......

Well, in fact, these reasons alone are enough!

The real ones that need to be compared are Kevin Garnett, Nowitzki, and Chris Webb......

Woody!

This is the most important new generation for them.

O'Neal Jr. was also briefly mentioned, but quickly left the list, for the simple reason that you can't say he's the absolute core of the Pacers, and Artest will definitely show his arms that are thicker than the average adult man's thighs, and have a good break with you.

In this "big boss list", O'Neill Jr.'s "1.5" naturally does not have much need to compare.

And the gap between his statistics and these people is really a bit big, he can reach the passing line of 20 plus 10 per game.

Although Chris Webb is more or less the same stats.

But he has to be old enough to be involved in the topic......

What's more, in fact, the name Chris Webb was also removed from the list early.

At the moment, apart from Tim Duncan, the three most competitive power forwards are:

Dirk Nowitzki, who has led the Mavericks to fourth place in the West so far this season, is averaging 26.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

When this data was put in front of them, many experts were stunned for a moment, and they had the impression that talking about Nowitzki was more about his scoring ability, but this data proved that his all-round skills were ignored by this league.

Look at his performance this year, not inferior to any all-round power forward.

Kevin Garnett is averaging 22.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game this season.

The offensive ability is slightly inferior, but otherwise it is better than Nowitzki.

This may also be the reason why Nowitzki's versatility has been overlooked, and in the face of Kevin Garnett, his versatility may not be so worth talking about.

Then there is Woody's 23.5 points, 13.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.2 blocks per game......

"Well, the word almighty may have to be replaced by someone else!"

Hubby Brown, who participated in the discussion, said after looking at Woody's stats.

In fact, it's not just everyone at this "round table" who thinks so.

Woody's stats are terrifying!

From points to blocks, all five stats crush Kevin Garnett, something that almost no one in the NBA can do.

But now, Woody has done it!

Of course, compared to Kevin Garnett, who was the MVP of the regular season last season, his overall form has really slipped this season.

But for this reason, he actually ranked behind Nowitzki and Woody in this discussion.

Finally, after some discussion, the league's new "Big Four" was born.

Chris Webb was removed.

Woody joins the list.

In addition, Kevin Garnett actually came in last.

When the show came out, it caused a huge discussion, and Kevin Garnett was extremely angry and said, "These experts are completely!" ”

He just won the regular season MVP last season, and now the pundits say he can only be ranked fourth among the "big four"?

Kevin Garnett has every reason to be so angry.

Especially after the start of the new season, he already felt extremely depressed.

Before the start of last season, the Timberwolves did a trick that was not favored by the media, and as a result, they were stunned to put together a lineup that could reach the Western Conference Finals.

I thought that after this season's run-in, coupled with Shaq going to the East, it would be a matter of course for the Timberwolves to enter the Finals......

What?

The West without Shaq O'Neal and Tim Duncan?

Who's afraid of him!

Anyway, Kevin Garnett is not afraid.

But as a result, the wise Timberwolves management offended Kassel and the "madman" in the contract renewal work this summer, and the contract renewal of a single player was not finalized!

It is true that the personality and age of these people are all problems.

But the problem is that if you decide on one first, it's good, and if you don't finalize any of them, the end result is that the atmosphere of the whole team becomes very strange.

Meantime......

These people are no longer thinking about achieving results, but about how to make themselves better.

The Timberwolves system with Kevin Garnett at the core collapsed at once.

So far, last season's No. 1 in the West is currently only in 8th place in the West, and it is on the verge of falling out of the playoffs.

The reality is too far from the results of the new season, which has caused Kevin Garnett's own performance to be affected emotionally.

Now you tell him that he can only be ranked in the fourth position of the "Big Four", and suddenly a wave of anger rushed to Tianlinggai, and he shouted at tonight's opponent, the Suns:

I'm very angry!

Although the Timberwolves still lost the game in the end, Kevin Garnett was very powerful, scoring 47 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals!

After the game, he also said directly: "I believe that my performance is enough to silence all the voices that question me!" ”

It could be seen that he really cared about this matter.

And when Kevin Garnett's outstanding performance swept the entire American sports sector, Woody also ushered in another opponent after the "51-point battle".

In an interview with the media, he was also asked about the "big four".

Woody said, "This should be a kind of affirmation for me......

To be able to sit alongside long-established power forwards like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Nowitzki is an honor that all players in the league want to get. But in terms of Woody's performance, he doesn't think it's a big deal.

On the contrary, it is a matter of course.

So he didn't pay much attention to it.

As for Kevin Garnett's dissatisfaction, he is even more confused.

It's not him anyway, you can't blame this on his head, right?

The Heat's opponent tonight is the Bobcats who came from afar.

Woody still led the team to the opponent alone.

His performance in the last game did seem to cause a lot of commotion, and tonight's American Airlines arena returned to its usual bustle.

Even the support for Woody has gone up a notch.

All Miamians have seen what kind of ceiling Woody really has.

When the word "loss" is in front of them, they naturally panic.

As a newly formed team, the Bobcats learned to lose in their first season of franchise history, so they've won less than nine games so far. Halfway through the tournament, they are clearly already working towards this summer's "No. 1 pick".

But this is not a surprise.

The good news is that Okafor, the second-round pick they drafted this year, played well.

can average 15.1 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, in the "halfway awards" of major media, he beat Howard to become the "best rookie in the half", continue to maintain this trend, then he will become the first "best rookie" in the history of the Bobcats!

In this respect, it is really good.

So the whole Charlotte can wait with a very calm mood for the season to end in a sloppy way.

They belong to the future!

Woody scored 51 points in his last game and played nearly 40 points, which led to a lot of media speculation that he would choose to rest in this game.

It's as good as Shaq O'Neal, who chose to take a rest after his "60-minute night".

The consumption of continuous basket raw chisel is really too great for an inside line!

Shaq O'Neill's scalp tingles every time he thinks about that night.

So when he heard that Woody would continue to play tonight, he expressed his surprise to the media:

"Seriously, I have to doubt that he really is a superman, an alien, he really has a body of steel!"

After Woody played the "51-point night" that is the representative of his career, Shaq O'Neal was even more open about Woody's boasting.

He knew what a bad guy he was going to be in the future.

Or maybe just like him!

Since everyone is a "supergiant", of course, it is better to speak.

The nickname "Superman" is a favorite of Shaq O'Neill.

Because that's what he said after knocking out Jordan in the Eastern Conference Finals: "If Jordan is a flyer, then I'm Superman!" ”

Although he was cleaned up by Jordan the following year, this does not affect him to become a "superman"!

But now, he has put this nickname on Woody several times, which shows that he is really satisfied with Woody, the little brother.

Of course, satisfaction is satisfaction, and in his opinion, Woody will definitely be a little sluggish.

It's a normal thing to do it, whoever does it seventeen or eighteen times in one night will have some overwhelmed reactions on the second and third days.

Results......

Woody got a luxurious "double-double" of 32 points and 15 rebounds on this night, teaching the opposite "rookie" Okafor a lesson.

Okafor faced Woody and ended up with just 8 points and 4 rebounds, well below his season average.

Woody's timely help defense allowed him to always struggle with his shots on the inside.

Under Woody's play, the Heat also easily defeated the Bobcats 98-87, 11 points, and won "two in a row" at home!

The unifying shouts that rang out again at the end of the game were enough to show how happy the Miamins were with Woody.

Shaq O'Neal looked at Woody, who had done two games in a row, and couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart:

Could this guy really be a superman?

Woody scored 30 plus 15 points for the second straight game, which made Stan Van Gundy's jaw shake with excitement.

How can he coach such a "super newcomer" as soon as he debuts!

He felt that he should have been wiser, so the Heat ended their first road trip after the home court, and even though this game was a national or global "Chinese derby", he still did not hesitate to let Woody rest.

It doesn't matter if Woody is a steel bolt or not, but Stan Van Gundy knows one thing, if his negligence causes Woody to suffer an injury in the load, then he will be the sinner of all of Miami!

So Woody has to take a turn!

It's just that when Wade and Shaq did not come back, and then let Woody, the most important protagonist of the "Chinese Derby", take turns to rest, and the Heat's combat effectiveness instantly fell to the freezing point.

The Rockets have been in the driver's seat throughout the game, and the margin has been controlled by more than 8 points.

In the end, 99-89, a 10-point difference, the Rockets completed their revenge.

Yao Ming got 20 points and 11 rebounds, and in the face of the inside line composed of Haslem and Old Moning, he seemed to have come to the East China Sea as if Nezha.

Maddie had some trouble, scoring 19 points and shooting around 43 percent from the field.

This is also the reason why the Rockets did not immediately open up the gap in this game.

The losing Heat team is not without gains!

Their takeaway is Gerard Wallace!

In fact, in the last two games, against the Cavaliers and the Bobcats, Gerald Wallace has played.

He scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks against the Cavaliers, and he got 21 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks against the Bobcats, but his play was overshadowed by Woody's stronger performance!

But tonight, although he didn't win, his performance finally came to the spotlight and let everyone see it!

24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks!

Gerard Wallace put up a very strong stat.

It was also under his play that Maddie looked tepid tonight!

Stan Van Gundy said: "He's got his chance, he's been preparing, and now he's shown he has what it takes!" He's always been a very good player, always has been! ”

In the eyes of the Miami media, the sweet annoyance has been left to Pat Riley, who has done very well in the last two years.

Woody, Wade, Gerald Wallace......

It's just that they just came together on the same day, and there is a problem that needs to be faced, and their contract renewal will also pile up for a while.

Gerald Wallace's contract expires this summer, while Woody's contract with Wade expires in two years.

With their performance, Pat Riley is bound to prepare an early contract extension for them, which is a minimum of respect.

In other words, this summer and next summer, he needs to prepare three contracts with tens of millions of dollars, including two contracts with a maximum salary!

There is no doubt that the owner of the Heat team is willing to spend money, but whether his enthusiasm is enough to support such a large amount needs to be considered, he is not a "money brother" like Cuban who is extremely fanatical about NBA teams, and his enthusiasm has limits.

"From this point of view, maybe sometimes, the trading work is too good, in fact, it is asking for trouble!"
