Chapter 539 The Big Three of the Cavaliers are coming
In addition to James, Wang Zelin and Durant, who have a 2k ability value of 90, there is only one other 2k data guru with an ability value over 90, the "Point Guard God" Chris Paul, with an ability value of 91.
Duncan, Anthony, Kobe, Love, Paul George, and Griffin ranked fifth to tenth in 2k ability value respectively. The ability values of these six players are all 89.
Among the top 10, Kobe's statistics are more eye-catching. Due to the poor performance of the team in the past two seasons, the "Black Mamba" failed to even make the playoffs in one of the years.
In addition, Kobe is one year older this year, and his status in the new season has been questioned by the outside world.
At the beginning of the season, among the top ten active shooting guards selected by ESPN, Kobe was ranked second for the first time in the past ten years. James Harden was ranked as the number one active shooting guard by ESPN.
However, in this 2k15 ability value ranking, Kobe's rating is still ranked first among shooting guards in the league, while Harden failed to enter the top 10 in the 2k15 ability value ranking.
Currently, Harden, the mosaic ace guard, has the same 2k ability value as the Warriors ace guard Curry, both at 88, ranking 11th and 12th.
By the way, except for Harden and Curry, the players ranked 11th to 20th in 2k15 ability value are:
Howard 88;
Tony Parker 88;
LaMarcus Aldridge 88;
Dirk Nowitzki 88;
Anthony Davis 88;
Derrick Rose 88;
Russell Westbrook 88;
Damian Lillard 87.
It is worth mentioning that the Trail Blazers' opponents tonight are Irving and Cousins, one of the Cavaliers' Big Three. James' new partner, Irving, has an ability value of 86, which is exactly the same as his old partner Wade's rating.
It's just that Wade is ranked 23rd and Irving is ranked 25th.
There is also Cousins. Although he averaged 22.11 per game last season, his scoring performance at the center position was second only to Wang Zelin, and he vaguely appeared as the second center in the league in the outside world, but considering
During the four years of his rookie contract, he never led the team to the playoffs and never truly proved himself. Therefore, his final rating was only 85, ranking 37th.
Don't look at the 2k basketball series. Although it is just a game, because it is so popular and the data algorithm is relatively reasonable, the ability scores in it are authoritative. Therefore, every update of 2k's ability values will be talked about by the players.
On the topic of Tao, even many superstars have an abnormal relationship with their own abilities.
When 2k15 announced the final top 10 list, fans immediately took a look at the top list...
As expected, he is another hot man.
Since 2k6, James' ability value has suddenly risen from 88 in 2k5 to 97. In the series after 2k, James' ability value has never been lower than 95.
And just last season, James' ability value reached the ceiling of 99 and became a good talk.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that he just successfully defended his title and became the cover star of 2k14.
Looking down, everyone was stunned.
Wang Zelin?
96?
Ranked second?
Even some fans who originally didn't care much about game data couldn't help but raise their brows and look a little dissatisfied.
The ranking is too high!
Although the Trail Blazers were the championship last season!
Although Wang Zelin was the personal honor Grand Slam winner of amvp mvp fmvp double team last season!
However, is the ability value of 96 too high?
After all, in this league that is either black or white, everyone has become accustomed to the long-term dominance of local American players in the NBA. As a result, an Asian player has appeared, and this Asian player has just played in the past season.
Defeated countless local American stars and had the last laugh!
Wang Zelin appears in the second place on the list. Many local fans in the United States, especially those in Miami and Cleveland, keep shouting "There is a shady story!"
You know, just last year, in the ability value rankings just announced in 2k14, Wang Zelin's ability value was only 85, barely entering the top 30 in the league.
And this season, he jumped directly from the top 30 in the league to second in the league, second only to LeBron James.
Such a ranking span is extremely exaggerated.
But there is one thing to say.
In the third year of James' career, in 2K6, his ability value soared from 88 in 2K5 to 97. He suddenly felt that he was in the top 5 in the league. It also caused a big sensation at the time, but... there was no controversy.
In the eyes of fans at the time, James deserved an ability value of 97.
But why?
When it comes to Wang Zelin, it seems particularly dazzling?
To put it bluntly, America’s pride in its long-term monopoly on the sport of basketball is at work.
The outside world is still full of doubts and discrimination against Wang Zelin, so he needs more championships and more MVPs to crush these doubts and discrimination.
So, let's start from tonight.
Start by defeating James, who has a higher ability value than yourself.
…
…
The battle between the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers also has a title, that is, the "Finals Preview." The league has long invested a huge amount of media promotion resources in an attempt to popularize the concept of "Finals Preview."
If the players on both sides of the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers are good in the future, it is not ruled out that the league will hype these two teams into a group of rivals, just like the later Cavaliers War!
Of course, many fans later said that the addition of Durant ruined what should have been a classic duel like the Magic Birds Contest in the 1980s and the Hu-Kai War a few years ago.
Even in terms of viewing value, the so-called cavalry battle is not as enjoyable as the horse battle in the west.
Back to business.
On the other side of the story, on the Cavaliers side, after James saw Wang Zelin's winning words, the "little emperor" instantly became unhappy.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What do you think of Wang Zelin's remarks? Hahaha, no need to, because you will see who is the real winner later. Whether it is Carey or Demaku
Si, we all firmly believe that there will only be one left, and this only spot must belong to the Cleveland Cavaliers."
Before the start of the game, James accepted a sideline interview with the media. Facing the camera, the old man who was only a month away from running for the third grade seemed quite relaxed.
Judging from the current records of the two teams, the Cavaliers have two wins and one loss, which is slightly inferior to the Trail Blazers who have three consecutive victories, but James is still confident about the next game.
This season, with the return of the Chosen One, the Cavaliers management, which is aiming for the championship, has brought in a group of very good helpers for James.
Kyrie Irving, after three seasons of training, has become a veritable All-Star player. And there is a saying that the outside combination of Irving and James is more compatible than the outside combination of Wade and James.
During the Heat's fourth appearance in the Finals, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wade and James' playing styles were too similar. Both of them are stars who take a breakthrough route, so how can we talk about compatibility?
But the two of them just relied on their strong star ability, plus Bosh on the inside, to win two championships.
This time, the Cavaliers' core inside player has become DeMarcus Cousins. Compared to Bosh and Love, Cousins is a true seven-footer and a solid center.
Not to mention that last season, Cousins was worthy of the title of "Second Center in the Western Conference" second only to Wang Zelin in the eyes of Kings fans, both in terms of personal data and on-field performance!
When James thinks about it, Cousins who averaged 22.11 per game last season, even if he is not as good as Wang Zelin, should not be too far behind. And he only has one request for Cousins and try to contain Wang Zelin in the paint.
Just leave the rest to him and Irving.
What's more, the team actually still has good rotation players such as veterans Shawn Marion and Mike Miller, and the young and strong TT.
Whenever he thinks of being shaved 4-0 in last season's finals, James is filled with fighting spirit. This time, he wants to regain his place in front of Wang Zelin.
…
The time is 19:30 in the evening.
Before the game, both sides announced their lineups.
Cavaliers: Kyrie Irving, Dion West, LeBron James, Anderson Varejao, DeMarcus Cousins.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
After warming up.
The referee signaled the players on both sides to get ready and the game was about to start.
The game was about to start, and James took the initiative to come over and say hello to Wang Zelin.
Speaking of which, enemies should be extremely jealous when they meet, but James still hugged Wang Zelin as soon as he came up.
This made Wang Zelin have to sigh again: James's emotional intelligence is really high.
Of course, it’s really bearable.
The person had such a good attitude when he first came up to him, so he embarrassedly put on a cold face and said hello with a smile:
"LeBron, your Big Three this time don't look very good. They can even lose to a team like the Jazz."
"If it hadn't been for that damn final shot, I wouldn't have lost!" James said angrily.
Now when he thinks about the scene where he was beaten by Hayward with a two-pointer at the last moment, James suddenly felt a pain in his liver.
"Tonight, you will definitely lose!"
James patted his chest and looked at Wang Zelin with high spirits, his eyes filled with fighting intent.
"Haha!" Wang Zelin laughed, his expression quickly returned to calm, and he said seriously: "See you in the competition!"
The Cavaliers were playing away games, especially James. When he came to the court with everyone, the Rose Garden Arena was rightfully booed by huge boos.
But for a veteran like James, the louder the boos in the away game will only make him more motivated.
"The king is here!"
"Hey, are you going to sprinkle magnesium powder on it?"
At the commentary table of the imperial court, Yu Jia and Zhang Lili chatted endlessly. Then their attention was suddenly drawn to the direction of the technical stage.
And this time.
In front of the technical desk.
Wang Zelin jumped on the spot twice to stretch his muscles, then picked up the magnesium powder on the technical stage with both hands and sprinkled it into the sky.
"Oh ho ho ho!!!!"
The scene quickly gave a great response, the fans cheered and screamed.
"LeBron, why is that guy trying to imitate you?"
Cousins pointed to the technical table and looked at James with some confusion.
"..."
James' face darkened.
This guy, the cliffhanger was intentional.
"Don't worry about them, just do our best."
James patted Cousins, signaling the latter to prepare for a jump ball.
Come to the center circle.
"Hey, DeMarcus, how does it feel to hug your thigh?"
As soon as he came up, Wang Zelin was like Cousins.
Cousins's face was dark and he was fierce in his heart. He must defeat the Blazers' inside line tonight, especially the guy in front of him. He must be served with a blood cap.
The game started with a jump ball from the centers of both teams.
Beep!
The referee was already standing in the middle of the court holding the basketball, and then with a whistle, the basketball was thrown into the sky above the court.
Snapped!
Wang Zelin defeated Cousins and successfully won the opening ball for the Blazers.
"The game officially started with the Portland Trail Blazers, they got the ball right at the opening, and they swarmed into the Cleveland Cavaliers' backcourt like a tide!"
The Cavaliers retreated quickly. After retreating, Wang Zelin faced Cousins. Seeing that there was no good chance, Wang Zelin did not ask for the ball.
However, Lillard, who was in control of the ball, only controlled the ball from the outside for a while, and did not attack by himself. He directly passed the ball to Aldridge.
Facing Divac's defense, Aldridge made a tentative breakthrough and then passed a ball to Matthews. Matthews in the corner did not hesitate and directly shot a three-pointer, but was blocked by Dionway.
Ste interfered and missed the hit.
"No, Matthews lost the ball!"
Zhang Lili exclaimed in surprise.
The basketball bounced out of the frame, and Cousins turned quickly and got into position in advance. But just as he regained his footing, a huge force came from behind and knocked him away.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The position you just clicked is gone.
This time, they lost to their opponents purely in a competition of strength.
And who is the opponent?
Cousins knew it without guessing.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Zelin, who was behind, forced Cousins away, stretched out his arm in the air, grabbed the bouncing ball with his right hand, and then immediately turned around...
"boom!"
He picked him up on the spot and smashed the basket with one arm.
The Cavaliers failed to defend their blue basket after all.
2:0, the Trail Blazers took the lead at the beginning.
"You still have to look at Zelin!"
Yu Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
Coach Terry on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to Matthews: "Will, if you have enough time, be patient and conduct more!"
Matthews nodded and hit the ground running in the first attack. Still in front of tens of thousands of fans at home, the pressure was great.
At this time, Wang Zelin ran up from behind and shouted at Matthews: "Don't listen to the coach. A real man will take action when it's time to take action. If I'm here to clean up the situation, what are you afraid of!"
Matthews was speechless for a while, but still did not dare to refute.
Yes, you are the boss, you have the final say!
Cavaliers attack.
James advanced with the ball and initiated a fast break, but the Cavaliers players were also not in the state. Only Irving and James were quick to attack, but that was enough.
"Defense defend!"
Coach Terry kept staring at James and shouted loudly.
At this time, James found the right moment and passed a fast and accurate pass, penetrating the Blazers' defense.
On the other side, Irving caught the basketball, drove to the basket, faced Lillard, twisted his body into a twist, and made a difficult pull-up layup.
"Whoosh!"
The ball staggered and finally fell into the net bag.
