Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

"The Heat's 'five small' lineup achieved very good results. They defeated the Knicks in a single quarter. Before the Heat's super attack wave, Bai Feng's super performance did not help."

"This is what the Heat are best at in the third quarter this season. Whether it's the normal lineup of the Big Three lineup with Janeway, or the team's fast break with the five small lineups, they seem to be playing a very new basketball."

"In G1 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat's new lineup completely dragged down the two traditional inside players of the Knicks. Is their success accelerating the traditional center's withdrawal from the stage of history?"

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The discussion triggered by this Eastern Conference Finals G1 [is not just that the "remnant formation" of the Electric Beams is completely unable to deal with the full string of Heat teams.

Experts and the media have even raised the question of whether the traditional center has ended in the discussion after the game? This question has come up.

As we all know, since the NBA, the entire basketball world is almost in the stage of being ruled by big men.

However, the situation has improved since the 1980s.

The emergence of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson temporarily ended the era of center dominance in the league.

The black and white duo has become an epoch-making superstar!

And after them, the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan came, suppressing all the top centers under his god position!

In these two eras, the center has not actually declined, but the league has had phenomenal outside players.

Otherwise, you can see that in the two years after Jordan retired for the first time, Olajuwon led the Rockets to emerge suddenly!

Since Jordan retired, the four major centers have ruled the league again.

Since then, although the four major centers have gradually aged, the league has come to the age of a hundred flowers blooming, and the traditional centers are only Dayao and Warcraft Howard who still have a dominant performance.

But the four power forwards of that period, Duncan and Garnett among them, are still the representatives of traditional insiders.

Even with the introduction of the Nohandcheck rule, which greatly strengthened outside players and changed directions to weaken the influence of insiders, any championship team still cannot do without the support of a strong traditional insider.

However, this situation has become more and more subtle with the Knicks winning the championship last year and the Heat simply creating a "five small" lineup this year.

Yes, today's new-generation strong teams in the league no longer have strong traditional centers!

Last year's Knicks, this year's Heat, the rising Thunder in the West...

The reason for this phenomenon is indeed that there are not so many traditional powerful centers.

But the most important thing is the change of league rules.

As the so-called "one generation version generation God", whether it is emerging e-sports or traditional sports competitions, they are all established within certain rules.

It is true that rules determine the strength of a position.

The NOhandcheck rule a few years ago made the top ten in the league scoring list almost all outside players, which greatly weakened the traditional inside.

But do you think it's over?

In the past few years, although there have been no changes to the major rules, there have been many minor rule changes every year. Among the subtleties, the traditional insiders have been reduced again and again on a small scale.

Obviously, NBA officials have become very clear about their plans for the future. They just want to build a faster, more scoring, and better-looking league.

It is said that the maker of these rules is Adam Silva, who will succeed David Stern as the new president of the league in the near future.

Recently, the discussion about this alternation of presidents has become more and more obvious. This alternation of old and new is a normal phenomenon.

However, the two new and old presidents have different policies for the development of the alliance, which will profoundly affect the future of this major alliance.

It is reported that the master and apprentice are now in the process of a "game".

Stern has given Adam Silva a lot of rights, but he is cautious about some of his reforms. The old president is still in his position, and he has the ability to basically kill some of his own policies.

But he is too old, and one day he will completely abdicate. At that time, when the new president takes office, he will definitely implement his reform policy with all his strength.

In this way, in this league, many teams that have received inside information have started to remodel ahead of schedule!

They transformed the team into what is most conducive to the rules in the future, and the Heat are among them!

 …

For the Knicks, a thorny question has been in front of them.

How to crack the Heat's "advanced" offensive formation?

Obviously, Bai Feng in G1 is already in very good condition. Although the Heat did not focus on him, his performance of scoring 54 points and 12 assists is still very eye-catching!

You can't expect Bai Feng to be more against the sky than this in the subsequent games.

No one can maintain this super state all the time, or the Heat will carry out targeted defense on him.

In short, the Knicks played very well in G1, but they still lost in the end.

The reason for the loss is also clear at a glance. In the case of a tie in the first half and an advantage in the fourth quarter.

The loss of the game was entirely due to a wave of the Heat in the third quarter.

The Knicks are given only two days, and they must find a solution within these two days.

But as far as experts and the media are concerned, the staffing of the Knicks makes it difficult to find a way to win.

Unless the Heat play really badly.

Or, their star player can make a comeback.

On the other hand, the first game of the Western Conference Finals also decided the winner. The San Antonio Spurs at home narrowly beat the youth team Thunder who came to challenge by 3 points.

It seems that the Spurs are old and strong. Under the leadership of Popovich, the traditional GDP combination can still shine.

However, their advantages are no longer (good) obvious. Facing the league's newcomers at home, they only won by 3 points, and they won when the Thunder made a lot of mistakes.

After this game, the media's discussion on the "alternation of old and new" has reached a higher level.

Obviously, the NBA of this era has reached an inflection point of an era.

Kobe handed over the first player in the league, the traditional center is declining, the four major power forwards are getting old, and the new and old presidents of the league are handing over...  …

Standing at the inflection point of the times, every NBA player can feel the various changes on the eve of this great change.

But for Bai Feng, what he has to face at this time is a huge problem, a problem he has never faced before!

Unlike last year's victory over the Heat's Big Three, this time, he has to face the three giant bosses alone.

In the eyes of the world, this seems to be an impossible task.

But he has to do it!.
