The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 186 Superstar or Cancer?Unexpected game result!

……

"It's true, as you can see. The Warriors are getting better, their coordination is getting better, their offensive efficiency is getting higher and higher, and they can always find the right way to put the ball in the basket."

"Dragon is a competent point guard and a key part of the Warriors. I also like him very much. He has no problems."

"But it's funny how his fans love to blow him up as a superstar and give credit for the team to one person, which is counterproductive and doesn't do him any good."

"If you asked me who is the most overrated player in the league, I would tell you, without a doubt, Dragon."

"You know, strength and popularity are not necessarily directly proportional, he is just a cute little guy."

"Now that the Warriors have won three consecutive victories, how is Dragon's performance? It is remarkable, but it also has a mediocre performance. You know, superstars don't fall asleep."

After the Warriors won three consecutive victories, ESPN's guest NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith threw out such an argument.

This famous critic, known as "Yang Yi of the United States" in the future, has always been known for his bold words and unique views.

Although he does not have the status of Zhang Bolong's previous life, he already has many channels to speak out and has a strong influence.

As his words spread, many media outlets followed suit.

ESPN, SB Nation, Bleacher Report, Sports Illustrated, NBA.com, CBS Sports…

These media did not make negative comments on Zhang Bolong. They very cleverly started to fan the flames, joined the battlefield with their own opinions, and then argued and quarreled with each other.

The content of the debate ranges from the initial basketball race theory of "whether yellow people can play basketball" to the gloomy future of "injury hazards are likely to break out",

Advancing to the team building discussion of "whether the shooter can be the core" and "being beaten back to its original shape in the playoffs" insist on looking bad.

Up to now, the debate has expanded into the hottest "Zhang Bolong Superstar Theory" and the corresponding "Zhang Bolong Cancer Theory".

In the negative description of the media, Zhang Bolong's current performance comes from the support and help of the team. It is the old Nelson's system that made him a representative. He is a representative of stepping on the team and only caring about his own performance.

Once Zhang Bolong does not perform well, the entire team will struggle to operate. Such a system that integrates the whole team will undoubtedly shape Zhang Bolong into a "cancerous" player, who loses all and wins only.

And the arguments of those who praised him are more abundant.

Halfway through the season, as a rookie, he averaged 22.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, and he could hit 3.6 three-pointers per game.

It can be said that such data is a well-deserved superstar blank, and the future can be expected.

Not to mention that he also has 12 three-pointers in a single game and a lore performance that shocked the league. His big heart at critical moments is relentless, and his leadership qualities of uniting his teammates are obvious to all.

Is it too much to lend a superstar title to such a player?
As a result, the topic of "what level of player Zhang Bolong is" became more and more heated, and it almost went out of the basketball circle.

Faced with such overwhelming enthusiasm, ordinary players are likely to get lost in it and their mentality will be out of balance, which will lead to their own game performance plummeting.

But Zhang Bolong has seen a lot of big winds and waves. In 06, the Internet and the media were far less developed than later generations, and he didn't bother to read the praise and criticism of those lighthouse netizens.

At this time, it is heart-warming enough to go over the wall and pour water into the forum, and see the support of netizens from the motherland.

Similarly, he is also very grateful for the whole-hearted support of the team now, which not only did not make him bump in the storm, but even caught a cold because of being too warm.

In this way, Zhang Bolong, who had a slight fever, hung up his exemption card, but he still put on a mask and wrapped up a cotton coat, and followed the team to Cleveland, Ohio.

On January 1, they will face the revenge-seeking Cleveland Cavaliers here at Quicken Loans Arena.

Unlike the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and other giants, although the Cleveland Cavaliers are expensive as the "Cavaliers", they have always played a role in the league.

It joined the NBA in 1970. Although it has worked hard here for 37 years, and there are stars such as Mark Price and Brad Doherty in the team, it is still alone and empty-handed. One of the unluckiest teams in the NBA.

You know, the Portland Trail Blazers, who joined the NBA in the same year as the Cavaliers, had yellow robes as early as 1977.

On April 2003, 4, the Cavaliers announced the new uniform and team logo, which also seems to indicate that the Cavaliers will usher in a new future.

Sure enough, in the 2003 NBA Draft, the Cavaliers selected "The Chosen One" LeBron James with the No. [-] pick.

新秀赛季，不到20岁的詹姆斯场均能贡献20.9分、5.9次助攻、5.5个篮板，帮助骑士队将取胜场次从上赛季的17场提高到35场，而他几乎每场比赛都激情演绎的暴力扣篮更是让球迷大呼过瘾。

The birth of the "little emperor" has given Cleveland fans hope for the future.

In the 2005-2006 season, the Cavaliers had an impressive record of 50 wins and 32 losses. Since 1998, they have returned to the playoffs and made it all the way to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

But everyone knows that the increasingly sluggish Pistons can't stop James for long.

The Cavaliers, who have been improving every year, have made a comeback again this season. The "Little Emperor" is always ready to ascend to his own throne, officially ascend to the top of the league, and dominate the world.

Since the start of the game, the Cavaliers have performed very steadily, and James has still performed outstandingly. They have only one goal, and that is to break out of the Eastern Conference and aim for the championship.

It's just that, like Zhang Bolong, James, who is like an iron man, also hung up the exemption card due to physical discomfort.

The absence of the two major stars made this game less interesting, and it also made countless fans cry regretfully.

However, the result of the game is more interesting than the process.

People think that the Warriors without Zhang Bolong still have sufficient firepower, and the Cavaliers can't even come up with a strong scoring point, and the outcome is clear at a glance.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, the Cavaliers, having lost their leader, ushered in a big victory at home!
The Warriors without a playmaker exposed the biggest problem in the game, that is, the offense seems to be fierce, but in fact they have no rules, and the team often falls into a situation where they are fighting on their own.

They made as many as 20 turnovers in this game, and their shooting percentage was only 39.1%, which was nearly ten points lower than the opposing Cavaliers.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers broke out with everyone. Eight players scored in double figures, and all the starters scored in double figures. They played more like a group.
