So direct!
Several teammates really didn't expect Sun Ce's answer, and Abby, who was interviewing, was also stunned.
She did dig a pit, but the pit was not deep. She asked "Who do you think is the best basketball player?" Any player who has experienced rookie training knows how to answer.
So all Abby wants is for netizens to debate based on the answers of the five major stars of the Grizzlies about the famous or historically high players.
Like Paul George talking about Kobe, this is very good, just like the answers of Ellis, Jennings, and Irving, which will cause fans to argue.
It may not be a quarrel between Kobe and Jordan fans, but it may be a quarrel between Kobe, Sun Ce, and James fans.
But Sun Ce directly talked about himself, that would be a big deal.
Abby could imagine that Sun Ce would be ridiculed by most netizens.
But it fits Sun Ce's personality too well!
The teammates who were stunned immediately felt that it was normal, and Abby also felt that it was normal... This is what Sun Ce dared to say!
Abby thought carefully, if other people were like Sun Ce, who had so many honors in the basketball field at the age of 24, they would also want to say so.
No one dared to say this before, not because they were so low-key, introverted, and calm,
but because there had never been a player like Sun Ce.
Even Duncan could not compete with Sun Ce in honors when he was the same age as Sun Ce.
No one said it, but it does not mean that someone cannot say it.
Now it seems that it is too crazy to say this, but everyone feels differently... As for whether to publish this news? Abby thinks it should be published! This is hot news!
...
NBA, how can there be no little overlord?
This year's Basketball World Cup was mediocre because the national team's performance was so-so, and the term Chinese men's football did not exist in another World Cup. From the purchase of the team, the long-term contract to stay in the team, and the 7-for-1 exchange for Aldridge, Sun Ce has not appeared in the public eye this summer.
After a long time, even black fans miss Sun Ce very much.
Can't find a good topic to criticize!
Reheating the things that have been criticized in the past does not fit the true-anti-fans who are internationally famous for double standards, knowing the stars better than the fans, etc.
In their eyes, those who maliciously abuse, make up stories, and make trouble... are not anti-fans. Anti-fans also have their pride!
Those people, even anti-fans look down on them. Whether they are fans or anti-fans, they can only describe them as trolls.
When the Arizona Daily's interview came out, major media outlets reprinted it and heated up the topic! Seeing the headlines, anti-fans climaxed on the spot!
Many fans were happy to see the news about Sun Ce, and felt that Sun Ce should say so.
There are really many fans of Sun Ce who think that he should be the best player under 25 in NBA history, no one else.
But more Sun Ce fans feel that their lord is actively attracting the firepower of anti-fans. They haven't fought with anti-fans for a summer, and their mobile phones and keyboards are ready to fight!
For a time, there was a bloody storm on the Internet.
The happiest one is the NBA official.
This summer, the World Cup was really hot. If it weren't for Sun Ce's buying a team, the Mavericks would have gotten free money from the Heat, and the Lakers, Mavericks, and Knicks would have competed for role players, which led to a small surge in the value of role players this summer, which in turn triggered the free market in early July. It is estimated that in July, except for North America, there would be no basketball news anywhere else.
But the topic ignited by Sun Ce continued until late July.
Now, the season has not started yet. Due to the early training camp, many media have just returned from the Basketball World Cup and are not ready to deal with the NBA's early start of the new season, because the league's new schedule was announced on August 21 this year.
On June 27, the league made a detailed statistics of the playoff revenue and notified the teams of how much money would be allocated to each team according to the prescribed ratio. After comprehensive evaluation based on the injuries of the just-ended season, ticket sales, broadcast fees, future established broadcast fees, advertising revenue, peripheral sales, etc., the teams voted to agree to the plan to start the training camp early.
And the time was not set at that time. Teams with stadiums had to adjust their original plans to rent out stadiums, and teams without stadiums had to talk to the owners of the stadiums... It was early August when it was done, and then the schedule was drawn up according to the schedule of the team that could advance the schedule the latest... So it was not announced until August 21st. At that time, the attention of the basketball media was on the Basketball World Championships. After they were busy with things there, they really had no time to make any news.
Maybe a lot of players hate those media who like to stir up trouble and make up stories, but the league likes it very much. Stirring up trouble can bring heat!
But this year, even ESPN only announced that it would start to publish major lists on October 1st. From October 1st to October 15th, the number of player rankings or team rankings published every day in the previous season will be doubled.
The main reason is that the time is advanced, and the media is not used to it. If the media wants to make plans to stir up trouble, it must be very close to the time of the new season training camp, and they have to stir up trouble with the latest news.
There were no hot topics. The news about team changes and some gossip were all used to compete with the football and baseball sections for coverage in July. At this time, Sun Ce came out to "rescue" the major media!
Public opinion that is either bragging or criticizing something, if it is not the kind of thing that is really worth bragging about or really deserves to be criticized, will always go by quickly.
Therefore, the media was obviously divided into two camps. One side felt that Sun Ce was right, and the other side felt that Sun Ce was too arrogant.
Both sides have valid reasons. A group of media led by T.N.T listed various honors Sun Ce received before the age of 25. In the entire NBA history, no one can compare with Sun Ce.
On the other side, they say that Sun Ce is arrogant, and cited most examples in NBA history where he was full of honors in the early stages of his career but slowed down in getting honors in the middle and later stages of his career, including Duncan, and then used Jordan to get honors after the age of 27. The greatness that far exceeds all other examples of superstars proves that greatness in the early stages of a career does not mean the greatest.
After the topic was introduced, the fans naturally started to discuss in the direction guided by the media, and then quarreled...
Although this summer's team buying incident has caused a lot of headaches for Sun Ce, the league's leader, to come out of the blue to cause trouble, whenever a topic is needed, Sun Ce's positive effect on the league is suddenly highlighted.
NBA officials also love and feel helpless for this young superstar whose unexpected degree is difficult to control.
…
The reactions from teammates, the league, the media, and fans are normal. When players from other teams saw the news that Sun Ce made this time, they all felt that this was what Sun Ce would say.
However, there are other ideas.
The Grizzlies' own players won't think anything of it. Some people thought Sun Ce was too arrogant, but they couldn't say it in person, and they must be new teammates.
As a teammate and as a bystander, there may be a huge difference in opinions about Sun Ce's performance in the past few years.
The reactions of players from other teams were different. The veterans did not express their opinions, but the young players of the same generation and the new generation were very different.
Pistons point guard Jennings said Kobe Bryant was his basketball god.
Irving said nothing, but Anthony Davis said that James is the strongest player in his mind.
These two are representatives of players of the same era as Sun Ce. They basically grew up watching Kobe or James play.
There is also Embiid, who regards Duncan as his idol. He would jump out and say a few words while holding a cane: "I think the strongest player on the outside is Kobe, and Duncan is on the inside. No matter which position the Lord plays, he is not as good as these two."
Irving was originally scolding his younger brother Anthony Davis, asking him to offend that petty guy, but soon he saw the news about Embiid.
Irving feels that today's young players really don't know what the world is like. When he was free in 2012, he went to provoke Kobe. As a result, in the 12-13 season, he was almost beaten by Kobe who focused all his energy on the defensive end. That summer, he also returned the favor. He provoked Sun Ce, but it was not considered a provocation. It was just a normal young player's bold words, and then he was abused by Sun Ce for two years.
This new No. 3 pick has begun to seek death even before he officially enters the NBA...
Time passed day by day, but the Grizzlies were not affected. They were preparing step by step. Sun Ce had made bigger news. This was a small problem.
The four new players really didn't adapt. It seemed like Sun Ce would not be blamed by the team no matter what he did off the court. Even the other 10 old teammates didn't even feel affected. .
But when Aldridge, Carter, Pierce, and Blake thought about it carefully, it seemed that Sun Ce just loved to commit suicide and make trouble, and he had never done anything extraordinary.
What is considered extraordinary is probably the matter of buying the team, but now it seems that Sun Ce does not have much to do with buying the team.
As the training camp goes by day by day, the Grizzlies are doing well in individual training and team training.
However, this year's training camp is different from previous years. In the past, even if the Grizzlies did not sign players in the preseason, they would sign several training camp contracts to give those free agents a chance to appear in the preseason.
But not this year.
Not just the Grizzlies, but other teams, except for teams that are under-staffed, teams with 14 or 15 players almost never sign training camp contracts.
The reason is simple. There are only 5 games in this year's preseason. There is no time for players with training camp contracts to show their abilities. We must immediately start preparing for the regular season, allowing players to exercise more on the court and adapt to confrontation.
After all, I haven't played for several months, and it is really possible that I will get injured due to a hasty confrontation when I come on the court.
The league is very worried about this situation, because the NBA's free agent reserve pool such as the Development League and overseas leagues is very important to the NBA. If a team is injured, these players will be needed to make up for it.
But without a training camp contract, many Development League players and overseas league players do not even have the opportunity to experience NBA training camps or experience pre-season games. This may affect the normal operation of the NBA regular season this year. The probability is It's small, but as the most successful basketball league in the world, NBA officials will try their best to avoid such a situation as long as they don't have any problems.
So, on October 2, the NBA officially announced a new rule, allowing each team to sign up to two "development players" who belong to both the Development League and the NBA. They can play 41 times in the NBA during the season. When playing games, you get an NBA-level salary, which can only be a basic salary. When you play in the Development League, you get a Development League salary.
The salary is paid by the NBA team to the Development League team and then to these "development players". It does not occupy the salary space of the NBA team and is not calculated into the total salary.
…
…
"Developing players means two-way contracts, isn't it? I remember it was a rule that came out in 2017. It seems that the school beauty can't sit still in a wheelchair. She spends all day thinking about these things, but this is not bad. Ask Yao Yao if anyone can recommend him to practice in the Development League and maybe play in pre-season games. Ding Yanyuhang of the national team is good..."
When Sun Ce saw the NBA promulgating this new rule, he knew it must be Adam Silva. David Stern was generally very conservative in this regard. The old president preferred to think about how to make the game more enjoyable and how to make the game more enjoyable. More attractive.
The small ball era is an unstoppable thing. This year's new rules are a devastating blow to Hibbert. The NBA has revised the rules on cylinders. The previous cylinder rules focused on protecting the rights of defensive players. It doesn't look like much has changed now, but one key modification is that it has been changed from a cylinder that protects defenders to a cylinder that protects offensive players.
When defending at the basket, the defensive player not only needs to take off vertically to ensure that no foul is committed, but also ensures that the opponent's cylinder cannot be violated when the opponent's player shoots.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with this rule, but the room for manipulation is too large. If that person takes the initiative to lean forward and uses his shoulders, head, etc. to bump into the opponent's hand trying to block the shot, whether he will blow or not depends on it. The referee has replaced the previous rigid rules to guarantee the rights of defensive players.
Sun Ce remembers that this was the rule change that directly caused Hibbert to change from a top defensive center to a player with a minimum salary that no one cares about.
However, this benefits centers like Gasol, Noah, and Cousins who don't like to jump. If they stand still and others bump into them, they can't be called for fouls.
Sun Ce also benefits from Gobert. This guy is 216 centimeters tall and has a wingspan of 235 centimeters. Most of the time, he doesn't need to take off.
After the training camp started, Sun Ce was pleasantly surprised by Gobert's progress, which was greater than expected! Sun Ce remembers that Gobert was only selected to the best defensive team in the 16-17 season, but now he has a first-class defense!
Gobert's defense at the basket is not as good as Whiteside's, but the effect is much stronger because Gobert is willing to extend to close range to defend, and he can do it.
…
After training ended on the afternoon of October 2, Sun Ce took a look at the ability evaluations of his teammates.
"Let me see, inside: Ge Guanfeng B-, offense D, defense A; Yi Muhualian A-, offense A, defense C+; Artist A-, offense C, defense A+; Hei Panda A, offense S- , defense is C+; Adelaide is A+, offense is S, defense is B+; the old bully is B, offense is A, defense is D-; you inserted the brother-in-law deep into B-, offense is B+, defense is C.
Outside: New Mok B, offense B+, defense C+; Flash C+, offense B, defense D+; Buddha A+, offense A, defense A+; Teacher Tony B, offense D+, defense A+; Pickled Pepper S-, offense A+, defense S; Flyer B+, attack A-, defense B; Truth B+, attack A, defense B-..."
Except for Randolph, Sun Ce feels that most of the players on his team are online!
Randolph's weight of 127 kilograms is still a bit too big. Duncan has been losing weight as he gets older. Randolph is still short of the best weight of 121-123 kilograms for the entire 11-12 season and the 12-13 season playoffs. up to 6 kg.
But it’s not a big problem, Aldridge is strong!
Aldridge, Pierce, Carter, and Blake did not waste time in the summer and trained well to maintain good condition. There is a big difference in strength and weakness, but the four veterans know that at their age, they need training to maintain condition, and they do not slack off.
Tony Allen and Larry Sanders mainly exercise in the summer, and their offensive skills are no longer salvageable. The former is training to maintain his condition as he gets older, and the latter is trying to make his body stronger.
Although Larry Sanders' body is still not thick, his weight of 109 kilograms is just that; Gobert has gained a lot of weight, but he is still thin, at 111 kilograms.
For comparison, Aldridge weighs 118 kilograms.
But at least they tried hard, and not everyone is suitable for gaining weight. For a player as big as Gobert, mobility is too important. The team does not point to him to become a dominant inside man, they only need him to do well. defense.
If defense alone can't prevent it... there's nothing we can do about it.
Richard Jefferson and Stoudemire, the former works hard, but his age is there, and the latter is injured. It would be good if he can maintain his current state. Anyway, he is the player at the end of the forward line.
His grandson, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Gobert all participated in the Basketball World Cup and their status has always been online.
What makes Sun Ce most ecstatic is that Paul George is not injured and is progressing smoothly!
The offensive end is okay. Judging from the details of the ability evaluation, what Paul George has improved the most this summer is his passing and control ability, but his defense has reached S level! Last year, he was still short of the top line. I don’t know how many times I was destroyed by James this summer. After I found the feeling of team defense through the training camp and cooperation with my teammates, I was able to perform an S-level defensive performance in the game!
Just when Sun Ce was about to go home and chat with Lily Collins after taking a shower with infinite longing for the new season, Chris Wallace called him over.
When they arrived at the general manager's office, Sun Ce saw that his boss was there.
"Noah, do you know the league's development player terms? Are there any players in your agency that you want to train in the preseason? You, Otspeth, and Clay may not be able to do this in the preseason this year. It’s a lot of time and we need to get the numbers together.”
