The schedule of the Los Angeles Lakers continues. The current Lakers top the Pacific Division with a luxurious record of 31 wins and 5 losses, and are also first in the Western Conference. Last year, several of the Los Angeles Lakers' main competitors had a poor start to the season. Dallas Jr.
The exchange of half of the Cowboys team for Kidd is disappointing so far.
Jason Kidd, who is obviously good at promoting fast breaks and organizing the team, is not in the same system as the Dallas Mavericks, who emphasize misplaced isolations. Although everyone can see that Kidd is indeed fully integrating into the Mavericks.
Among them, and his performance has improved to a certain extent as he became familiar with the Dallas Mavericks tactics, but the Mavericks' record is still ups and downs. The current Mavericks barely rank first with a record of 20 wins and 16 losses in 36 games.
Seventh in the Western Conference. Although they were beaten eight times, the Dallas Mavericks were also first in the Western Conference last season. Although it is far from the end of the season, this performance is undoubtedly incredible.
Mark Cuban once again has to pay for his frivolous actions.
The Spurs are as slow as ever. After defeating the 76ers and Timberwolves at home but losing to the Pistons and Cavaliers respectively, the Spurs temporarily rank fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 25 wins and 12 losses. The four home games are almost the same.
This is a reflection of the Spurs this season. It is difficult to take advantage in the dialogue between strong teams, but they will never lose to weak teams easily.
The Phoenix Suns' small ball whirlwind is still blowing hard. Among the 35 games at the beginning of the season, the Phoenix Suns won 26 of them and lost 9. Currently, they are 5 games behind the Lakers.
Currently ranked second in the Western Conference. If the Lakers' rise this season had not been too rapid and strong, Phoenix would have occupied the top spot in the Western Conference.
However, there have been problems within the Suns recently. Many media have revealed that the management is quite dissatisfied with the team's consecutive failure in the playoffs. And it is very likely that after the All-Star Game and the opening of the winter transfer window,
A big trade that changes the team. Although the target of the trade and the team's goals are temporarily unknown, many media have firmly speculated that the Suns will change their defensive weaknesses and low-post offensive shortcomings.
In other words, the Suns and Heat may already be discussing the matter of the Sharks swimming back to the West.
At the same time, Adrian also speculated that the deal to trade him for "Warcraft" Howard may have officially entered the negotiation stage under the operation of both teams. Although he was not able to get any definite information from Ryan, after all, he
Although he has a father who is an agent and a tycoon, and there are also a few small eyes and ears in the Magic team, it is obvious that such a big deal that will definitely cause an earthquake in the league is not something that those small eyes and ears can detect.
However, through some small news spread from time to time in the media, Adrian can still judge the trends of the management of the two teams.
It is obviously not an easy task to convince Orlando to give up the World of Warcraft with endless potential. Although Adrian is also the kind of player that everyone in the league will compete for, compared to Warcraft Howard, he has one shortcoming:
He is not an insider.
The current league is dominated by perimeter players. Led by the 1996 golden generation such as Kobe and Iverson, and inherited by the 2003 platinum generation such as Anthony, James, and Wade, top perimeter players emerged in an endless stream during this period and began to dominate.
this alliance.
At the same time, in order to make the game more enjoyable, with more dunks, more breakthroughs, and more beautiful passes instead of monotonous low post singles, the league's rules are increasingly tending to take care of those fast and sharp outsiders.
Breakthroughs.
But this does not mean that the league does not pay attention to the inside line. In fact, the current scarcity of excellent inside lines in the league has caused most teams in the league to have a morbid desire for excellent inside lines.
Able to grab 10+ rebounds, know some mid-range shots, and even lack the ability to post up in the low post. In the 1990s, such an insider could only hold the main position in an average team, but now they have the courage.
Challenge the annual salary of tens of millions. This is most obvious in Oden. He is very strong, but he is not strong enough to sweep the world. Even if Oden is completely healthy and fully developed, maybe he
He can indeed reach the level of a top insider. But under the praise of the media, he has become a combination of Olajuwon, Ewing, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others.
And a young insider like Howard who averages 20+10 per game and can also send out 2 blocks is undoubtedly the cornerstone of the team. Although Adrian, although his performance is not worse than Howard, but
There are many good outside players in the league, and it is rare that such good inside players are so young. You can actually count them on one hand.
At the same time, the All-Star voting has already started against the background of fierce battles in the season. Unless it is an injury, Adrian will undoubtedly have to participate in the second-year team of this year's All-Star Rookie Game. However, in the All-Star game, Adrian
Derian may not have much of a chance. Although his statistics are still impressive, because he is required to focus more on the defensive end this season, his performance is not as impressive as in his first season.
People are amazed and amazed.
Moreover, in the All-Star voting he participated in this season, his position was placed at the forward position. For the forward position, the competition in the Western Conference is extremely fierce. Duncan, Boozer, Anthony, Nowitzki and even West are all
They are powerful players. It is quite difficult for Adrian to compete for a spot from these people.
This can be seen from the initial voting situation. Although Adrian has entered the All-Star candidate list, his ranking on the candidate list is very unoptimistic, especially at the beginning of the voting, Anthony is the forward position.
and Duncan's votes skyrocketed like a rocket launcher.
Not being able to participate in the All-Star Game will definitely be a blow to Adrian's business image. But at this time, Adrian can no longer care about this. Seeing that his transfer is becoming more and more confirmed, and the Lakers are in the league
His performance was also booming, and Adrian also began to transfer part of his energy to business.
As a rookie player, Adrian is definitely a typical example of active investment. Knowing well that a player's career is short, if Adrian doesn't want to be like Kemp and Pippen, they are over 40 years old and still working hard on the court.
A prerequisite for playing basketball is to invest rationally in the hope that you can earn considerable returns every year in the future, even after retirement.
The preparations for the chain restaurant are on the right track and will be opened soon. And another crucial investment of Adrian has also reached a very critical step.
Adrian valued it the most and it was also his earliest investment.
League of Legends!
Adrian has always been very concerned about the progress of Riot Company's development of League of Legends, but it is not to urge them to launch the product as soon as possible, but to optimize the design and balance the heroes.
As far as Adrian knows, when League of Legends was first launched, there were various problems. For example, Garen's invincible meat grinder, and the Barbarian King's ultimate move could be used in the spring.
An unstoppable power, such as five archangels plus a Death Chanter superimposed by the Ring of Central Asia, can prevent the opposing hero from leaving the spring. For example, the cooldown of Kieran's ultimate is so low that he can refresh it infinitely.
The ultimate move, such as Xin Zhao 1vs9 + Baron Nash, such as Shaco's box has no time limit, so in theory it can kill the dragon in one second, such as Mordekaiser's ultimate move, which refreshes the soul when Mordekaiser kills an enemy hero again.
The duration allows him to do 1vs9. For example, because the initial setting of the cooldown mechanism did not take the upper limit into account, the cooldown time of some skills was too short. Tryndamere's endless five seconds and Karthus' infinite ghost singing perfectly destroyed the balance of the game...
Some of these problems actually occurred during the internal beta in history, and some were solved before the internal beta. Adrian pointed out these problems early with the perspective of a future person.
Although Adrian knows nothing about game design and balance settings, as a simple 'player' he already knows enough about League of Legends. His advanced experience and ideas can at least help the designers of Riot
They avoid many detours and make the game as a whole more balanced.
Then on January 30, after winning the home game against the Knicks, Adrian took a leave from the team and went to the headquarters of Silicon Valley Riot Company. This was not his first time here, but this time,
It has quite a different meaning.
"Oh Ed, I guarantee you will like it. We designed a hero based on your opinions." Upon arriving at the headquarters, the decision-making president Temidal personally greeted the big boss who had brought them the largest investment.
"I'm really looking forward to this." Adrian said with the same smile: "You know, although I haven't played this game yet, some information I have read tells me that this will definitely be a popular game.
game. I can’t wait to see how popular the game is after its release. Maybe it will replace Warcraft as the most popular competitive game.”
"We also expect the same, and we are working hard for it!" Taimidal felt that this big financier was very suitable for him: "The design of the game has basically been completed, and now all that is left is some post-production work.
The game is expected to be officially released this summer."
Adrian had already predicted that League of Legends would be released earlier than history. After all, he could inject sufficient funds into the riots and avoid some of their detours. (To be continued...)
