First of all, I would like to thank Nemo and the Nautilus for the reward, and this chapter is written as a purely discussion thread, without plot.

Although the goal was very beautiful, the Cavaliers players only marveled for a second, because their James often did this kind of thing.
Sure enough, the Cavaliers' Tony Barty fired the ball from the backcourt, and Snow passed the half court leisurely and then handed the ball to James.
In fact, Snow is a very good player for you. I thought this player was very good when he was working with Iverson in the 76ers. Unfortunately, he has been eliminated by James in the Cavaliers.
James is indeed a player with strong personal abilities, but he is not an excellent team player. The Cavaliers have never performed particularly well, which is also a big reason.
When we talk about a player's level, there are often two aspects: first: personal ability; second: coordination ability.
Personal abilities are very intuitive. Even if you don't watch football, you can look at the data after a season and you will know who is strong and who is weak.
When many people mention coordination ability, they think it depends on the assist data. In fact, it is not the case. Cooperation ability is more complicated. It cannot be expressed by simple numbers such as points, rebounds, assists, etc. Things such as running position, positioning, blocking, and supplementary
Position level is also an important reflection of coordination ability. Assists are not the standard for testing coordination ability. Some people have high assist numbers, but in fact their coordination is poor. Some people have low assist numbers, but their role in the team cannot be replaced by others.
.To put it in the simplest terms, coordination ability is to see whether you can make your teammates better. If you can, then your coordination ability is strong, if not, then your ability is poor.
Here I will give a simple example, "Big Dream" Olajuwon.
If you look at Olajuwon's assist data, it is very impressive. He can average more than 3 per game in the middle and late stages. At the same time, centers such as Ewing and David Robinson could not do this. The cooperation of Yao Ming and Howard
Everyone's ability is recognized, but they can't reach 3. It can be said that except for Divac, there are very few pure European centers who can reach his level. So if you just look at the assist data, you will definitely feel
Olajuwon is more of a team player than they are.
But what about the reality?
In addition to "Big Dream", Olajuwon also has a nickname, "Black Hole", because as long as he is in the low post and you pass the ball to him, you don't point at the ball to hit it, he will definitely attack it himself.
. What is scoring and hitting? I’m sorry I haven’t learned it. This is not suitable for Big Dream. Some people may have refuted it. If he doesn’t pass the ball, why is his assists better than those two people. In fact, it is very simple with Ewing and David Robinson.
Compared with Olajuwon, they always have a group of top shooters around them. Kenny Smith, Cassel, Horry, etc. These players can maximize the conversion of the occasional goals from Dream into assists.
It increased his assist data. So it was actually Olajuwon's teammates who made him better.
And this is also the most basic idea of building a team in the NBA.
We say that components are always teams, but actually the most basic ideas are two.
First: The cornerstone of your team is a player who can make his teammates perform better, so you should try to find some outstanding players to be his teammates. For example, there are Duncan's Spurs and Garnett's Timberwolves.
Second: If the cornerstone of your team is not one who can make his teammates perform better, then you find a group of players who can make him perform better to be his teammates. For example, Olajuwon's Rockets.
There is no advantage or disadvantage between these two ideas, only that they are not suitable for your core leadership. As long as they are suitable, the effect will definitely not be too bad.
But the big reason why James' Cavaliers have never been successful is that the team management did not follow the two bilateral rules, or they wanted to follow the two above, but in fact it was counterproductive and the effect was very bad...
I say James is not a very good team player for two simple reasons.
First: He has never figured out his position. He is too comprehensive, he can go inside and outside, he can grab rebounds and organize offense, but basketball is for 5 people, and the key to the game is whether everyone can be in their own position.
Play your role well and bring out your strongest point.
For example, Nash knows that his strongest point is organization, and what the team needs is organization. Although his shooting percentage is also very high, he does not need to shoot, he just organizes in a down-to-earth manner.
The same goes for Ray Allen. He knows that his strong points are his scoring ability and his long-range shooting ability, and the coach's purpose of letting him play is to let himself score and shoot long-range shots. Does Ray Allen have organizational skills, he definitely does, but he also
Instead of fighting for the ball with Rondo and others, he just runs without the ball and then shoots a sudden shot.
But James doesn’t understand this. He wants to do everything, organize and attack. There are two disadvantages to this. First, he does not put his strongest point against the opponent, but puts his own strengths and weaknesses.
The uneven side is exposed to the opponent, which invisibly reduces his own strength. Second: James wants to do everything and has everything on the court, which leads to his teammates not knowing what they should do.
The most troublesome thing for a player is that he doesn't know what he should do when he is on the court.
So when we look at James' Cavaliers, the best player is "Don't pass the ball". Why, because he knows very well that I am not here to organize the offense. The one who organizes the offense is the eldest brother James. Once everyone is in position, everyone is in position.
, if the ball is given to me, I will shoot it. Because his thinking is simple, his functionality is strong, and his performance is the best because of his strong functionality.
Because he is not clear about his position, his functionality is not strong. Therefore, even if James has won consecutive regular season MVPs and is already the most comprehensive player in history, the Cavaliers cannot do it in the playoffs.
In addition to never knowing what he wants to do, James also has a problem. He is too possessive of the ball and likes to hold the ball too much.
It can be said that those who like to occupy the ball may not cooperate well, but players who do not cooperate well will definitely like to occupy the ball.
When he was with the Cavaliers, as long as halftime was over, he would ask for it, and he would lose his temper if it was not given to him. In order to satisfy his abnormal desire, the team could only give him the ball, so that another very good player would
Hughes, the offensive player with the ball, was completely useless.
In fact, when we look at a championship-level configuration, it usually looks like this. There needs to be one person who can defend and grab rebounds at the basket, one person who can help defend in the paint and make up for the defense, one person who can play in the low post, and one person who can play in the low post.
Supporting in the high post, one who can score one-fifth of the team's points or more than 20 points in every game, one who is a stable outside three-pointer, and one who can defend the outside and protect the inside from impact.
, one who can lead the bench players to continue the scoring trend, and at least two who can attack individually with the ball. Some of them may be interoperable, so one player can do several tasks.
You can compare them one by one. Starting from Jordan's first triple crown, any championship team has met the above configuration, and there has been no exception in one year.
But this is caused by people like James who dominate the ball. The Cavaliers cannot have a second person with the ability to attack with the ball. If the team only has one person who can attack with the ball, then if the opponent adopts a series of measures such as zone defense,
The method can easily kill you, and the results can be imagined.
So in fact, it was the right idea for the Cavaliers to find Hughes to cooperate with James. Many people said that he did not perform well because his and James' styles were too similar, and the two people conflicted. But what was the difference between Hughes at that time and Wade now?
The difference is why Hughes was immediately eliminated. Although Wade's statistics have also declined, he is still a top player in the league. The key to the problem is that Hughes is not big enough. James ignores him and continues to dominate the ball. Wade
He's a big name enough, James wants to share the ball with him, it's that simple...
Since there is no story development in this chapter, let's simply change it to a pure analysis chapter.
Let's compare James with another superstar-Kobe Bryant.
Many people say that Kobe also has a strong possessive desire for the ball, such as the number of shots he takes.
I admit that Kobe also likes to get the ball, but there is a huge difference between Kobe and James.
James wants the ball regardless of time. He wants the ball every minute. If you don't give him the ball for two consecutive rounds, he will be really anxious.
But Kobe is not. Kobe only suddenly bursts out of the desire to hold the ball and go it alone when the team is lagging behind or in the last quarter. Usually his desire is not that strong, and he will not take the initiative to ask for the ball as soon as the half is over. But.
As I often say, the last quarter is the most critical, and it is also what the audience and fans care about the most. Kobe's performance in the last quarter left a deep selfish impression on people, which covered up his previous performance.
Relatively selfless.
But then again, Kobe’s behavior can be called confident or narcissistic, but in essence he does not trust his teammates. Therefore, compared to James, Kobe is a person who cannibalizes his teammates more and needs them more.
People who cooperate with him. If his teammates are not strong enough to guarantee a scoring lead or an advantage on the field, then Kobe's desire to get the ball will burst out and he will go it alone.
But Kobe is really far behind James in terms of comprehensiveness. If James can score 85 points by holding the ball and controlling the team's offense, then Kobe can only barely reach 70 points. Kobe is more of a terminator.
He is not an organizer, and his assist ability may be better than some people, but there is still a gap compared with James. After all, James is very good in sudden points and secondary offenses.
This characteristic of Kobe created a vicious cycle - when his teammates failed to do their best, Kobe started to play in isolation, and when Kobe's organizational skills were not good enough, his teammates performed even worse, and then the Lakers' game got worse.
So whether it was when O'Neal left and the Lakers couldn't make the playoffs, it was still like this this season. And now as Kobe gets older, if he starts playing in isolation, the Lakers will be even worse, because he used to be able to score 40+
The score is now only 30+.
So to be very realistic, Kobe and James are both the same type of people. They cannot make their teammates better by themselves. Therefore, to build a team around them, you must find people who can cooperate with them.
Therefore, don't say that James went to the Heat for a reason. The Cavaliers really didn't find him a decent partner, and he was really at a loss. The same goes for Kobe. The two of them are evenly matched. If they are both teammates, he will be even worse.
Yes, even Kobe is not as good as James. At least James has independently led the team to the finals.
As for Varejao and others now playing well, it has something to do with James leaving, but it is not decisive. The more important thing is that he was just a substitute before, and now he is the main force. He had this strength before, but
He has never been able to independently serve as an inside post. He has no confidence or domineering, so he has not performed well. But as long as he performs on the court, his performance is not particularly bad. This is why he was selected in this book. He may be a player who does not need a lot of games to improve.
As long as you trust him, he can achieve very good results.
Of course, this year's outbreak is somewhat accidental, and it may not be as powerful in the future. Moreover, the superstars are becoming more and more united, and the gap between the strong and the weak is too big. It has something to do with the suitability for data brushing. It is somewhat similar to Love's outbreak that year.
