War of public opinion is a problem that can happen at any time in today's society, and no celebrity can avoid it. Although some people choose to ignore it and treat it coldly, they are a minority after all, and in the field of culture and sports circles where reputation determines value
, basically no one would choose to do this, and many times they would even initiate a public opinion war. In addition, in this society with distorted values, as long as someone reports on you and pays attention to you, whether it is good news or negative news, for the initiator and the recipient
It’s a win-win outcome for channel media.
So today's professionals are waiting for Edison to refute, wait for the information he reveals, and then dig out the information to find selling points. Edison did not keep them waiting. After the Magic defeated the Raptors 103-94 at home on January 3, espn
Erin Andrews published an article analyzing magic.
"The Magic unexpectedly lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves without Nash in the last game. Nash also did not play today, but the Magic easily defeated the Toronto Raptors. Of course, the Raptors are not strong, and they are even ahead of the Timberwolves.
Next, so we can't say 'the Magic don't need Nash' or underestimate Nash's role in the team just because of a victory. In fact, although this game was won, Nash's influence on the team can still be seen in many cases.
Important. But is it really like what Matt Moore said before, that the Magic suffers from dependence syndrome, or is the problem of the Magic's post-Nash era really that dangerous?"
"In my opinion, I even discussed this issue with Magic coach Paul Edison, and in the end the two of us came to very similar conclusions. First of all, on the first issue, the Magic do have a certain degree of Nash dependence, but this
What else can it mean? If we analyze the league separately, then the Lakers have Kobe dependants, the Spurs have Duncan dependences, the Cavaliers have James dependence, etc... Even if we look at the history of the NBA, the Bulls have Jordan dependencies.
Syndrome, the Celtics have Bird dependence syndrome. In fact, although basketball is a sport of 5 people, the value that ace players can play is definitely not comparable to that of several other people. They alone can win the team
More than 20% of the total salary, and the other 10 people can only share the remaining part. This is very clear from the perspective of market-oriented economics. Therefore, in the field of NBA, any team with superstars will
It is normal and common for someone to have more or less dependence. The only question is the degree of dependence, or whether the team has a plan B when this player has problems. Specifically for the Magic.
If there is no Nash, can the team make adjustments in time to adapt to this situation?"
"In my opinion, the Magic are undoubtedly prepared. For example, Edison once said that the reason why he chose Rondo was that he believed that this young man could disintegrate Nash in the future and become the team's new tactical engine. For his kind
As for the statement and future feasibility, we will take a wait-and-see attitude, but there is no doubt that this is a preparation for the Magic. In addition to Rondo, we see that Edison has made a lot of changes and attempts, and his attempts have been
It was all reflected in this game against the Raptors. Edison's attempts simply depended on two people - Roy and Brand."
"Roy is undoubtedly Edison's classic masterpiece. Since he played in the game, he is now averaging 18.6 points per game and has 40+ performances. Many people say that Roy's emergence is a good replacement.
He is not a substitute for Hill, but a tactical attempt by Edison."
"Less than five minutes before the end of the game, when the score difference between the two teams is no more than five points, we call it a critical moment. To look at the importance of a player, his performance at the critical moment is very important. My colleague calls it the critical moment.
The technical statistics are all converted into 48-minute technical statistics, and then the players in the league are ranked. Roy's results actually ranked sixth in the league, much higher than Nash. Roy's statistics at critical moments were 42 points per game.
7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists, with an assist rate of 10%. This also shows that at critical moments in the game, the Magic can safely hand the ball to Roy and let Roy solve the opponent, instead of relying entirely on Nash.
People. What we need to care about here is not only Roy's scoring ability at critical moments, but his extremely low assist rate is also a key factor that we care about. In fact, it is not just critical moments, but also in ordinary times. Although Roy often interacts with Nash
He played excellent coordination, but in fact his assist rate was very low, only about 37%. This shows that his scoring does not depend on anyone's passing and he can create and seize opportunities on his own. This was true last season
No Magic player can do that, including Hill, whose assist rate is 47%, a full 10 percentage points higher than Roy."
"The same situation also happened to Brand. His assist rate was only 52%. This ratio may not have been a big deal ten years ago, but among the current insiders, you can count on one hand the number of insiders who can rival him.
Come here. Looking back at last season, both Josh Smith and Howard received assist rates above 70%. It can be said that without Nash's pass, they would not have any single scoring ability."
"This season, through Roy and Brand, two players inside and one outside, the Magic got another offensive starting point and opportunity creator besides Nash. They showed very well in the game against the Raptors.
This ability to create opportunities. Roy made 8 of 19 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, and 6 assists. He scored nearly 8 points more than when Nash was here, and had 3 more assists. Brand had 17
He made 9 of 9 field goals and 4 of 6 free throws. His data almost did not change with or without Nash. Compared with the 5 points of another insider Howard, it becomes increasingly rare and valuable."
"So if the Magic last season was Nash's team alone, and without him it would be the same as the Magic. Then the Magic will be much better this season. There are at least two people who can continue to lead the team forward. And Brand
Only 26 years old, and Roy is only 21 years old. They still have room for further growth. Even if Nash dies in three years according to Matt Moore, I believe the two of them can step up. In fact, Edison brought them in
The team is actually modifying the concept of playing purely around the point guard last season and transforming it into another common league model of teaming up with scoring superstars. In fact, Edison also knows that although the former led the Magic to a regular season last season,
The game was brilliant, but in history no team with the same composition has been able to win the championship. On the contrary, the latter is ordinary but enduring and has always been the only way to win the championship."
As soon as Andrews' article came out, many people knew without reading that it was Edison's counterattack. After all, the relationship between the two was there, and the scandal between the two could be seen in the tabloids almost every week. Many people said that she
He was one of Edison's own people. In comparison, Bianchi could only be regarded as Edison's idiot fan.
No one knows that Andrews's article was mainly written by Edison himself, but everyone knows that her article was published to help Edison. But even under the scrutiny of people with sexy glasses, the article
There was a consensus immediately.
First of all, the analysis of this article is very reasonable, but she does not refute it for the sake of refutation. For example, the article does not say "Magic does not have Nash dependence" at the beginning of the article. Andrews generously admits this. Because this is a fact in itself.
, a fact that cannot be refuted, a fact that anyone with a brain can see. And admit it first, and express a point of view that is recognized by everyone, which can also improve the credibility of your own things.
This is what we often say, the most confusing lie is to add 2 false sentences to 8 truths. If you tell the truth, others will think it is more credible, and then they will be less wary of you, and then
Lies will be accepted. And if you go against what the public thinks at the beginning, it will be difficult for the public to enter, and then it will be useless no matter how good you say it later.
However, admitting does not mean giving up. She immediately said, "It's not just the Magic that are dependent on it, but other teams as well." This is like what some companies say, "We are not the only ones who use plasticizers and melamine. This is the industry."
"Unspoken rules" are the same, dragging everyone into the water. If everyone is unclean, the more mud spots on his body will not be so prominent. And everyone has problems, why do you come out to accuse me?
Of course, he can only take care of things for a while, not for a lifetime, so the article immediately begins to analyze the changes in magic and introduces Brand and Roy. Because many people have questioned whether the two of them can do it before.
Paired with Nash, although this doubt has been reduced as the Magic's record has improved, it has not disappeared. Now Edison has continued this doubt and transformed it, "from not fitting with the tactics."
"Cheng can provide a new way of playing". Becoming passive and proactive resolved two doubts at once.
Just as Edison expected, as soon as the article came out, some people quickly cheered for them, and then the experts on both sides began to quarrel. At this time, most of the fans who were not particularly opinionated were confused and began to wait for the results of their quarrel, so the pressure caused by public opinion was
led away.
…………
After entering January, the league's focus has been on the All-Star Game, and the league also announced the results of the second round of voting in a timely manner.
It is strange that with Hill's season reimbursement, no one from the Magic can enter the starting lineup this year. Nash, who received the most votes, also ranked behind Iverson and Arenas, becoming the third choice of point guard in the Eastern Conference.
Rand received lower votes than Nash, but because the power forwards in the Eastern Conference are relatively weak, he ranked behind O'Neal. If O'Neal has an accident, he is likely to usher in his first All-Star start. Howard is the Magic's No. 1 All-Star starter.
Of the three players who are expected to participate in the All-Star Game, he is now only behind O'Neal and Ben. However, there is a big gap in votes, so he can only rely on the choices of other head coaches.
Speaking of head coaches, Edison has no chance of coaching the Eastern Conference All-Stars this year. Because the Pistons are playing so well now, their current record ranks first in the league, and they basically destroy whoever they see, so Sanders became the Eastern Conference All-Star.
Troop coaching is just a matter of time.
However, David Stern still hopes that Edison can participate in this All-Star Game, preferably as a guest performer. However, Edison declined politely, saying that his current focus is entirely on the team's work and he does not have time to do those things. Edison
Stern is aware of the current difficulty, but he has no choice. For a person who plans to sell the team and leave, David Stern is really just a name. If he puts pressure on him, he will only fall to Edison in the end.
on the shoulders.
Except for these four people, all other Magic players were drowned in a series of big stars, and they could only realistically focus on the All-Star Rookie Game.
However, the All-Star Game is still a month away, and the Magic's focus is still on the regular season game after game.
