In the rating ranking of players, players who are both offensive and defensive, and have all-round skills, are obviously rated higher. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Di studied for a few days and had a general understanding of the existing strength of everyone in his team, in addition to him, Byron Davis is also rated S-, and then the third place is Dunleavy, Dunleavy already has a rating of 93 and a rating of A.
Tyson Chandler, John Salmons, and Derek Fisher are all rated A-levels.
Fayer, Danny Granger, Culbert Channey, and Michael Svetney all have B+ ratings.
Ariza, Monta Ellis, Andrés Biedrins are all rated Bs.
The remaining Louis Williams and David Lee both have only B- ratings.
From the perspective of rookie growth potential, Danny Granger and Monta Ellis have the potential to become S-stars, while Louis Williams, David Lee and Trevor Ariza can all become A+ stars if they are all developed, as for the physical Viedrins, he only has A-level potential, which is the lowest among everyone.
Culbert Chaney and Svetney both had about that level of potential and didn't improve much.
The rankings give Yang Di the motivation to continue to outperform the stars, and his goal is to become the No. 1 superstar in the league and even the No. 1 in history.
......
After New Year's Day, with another day off, the Warriors flew to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies have always been in the ranks of the Western Conference playoffs over the years, and the strength of the team is not weak, the key is the team leader, the low-key Pau Gasol, and Yang Di knows that he is a star with a higher rating than him.
Pau Gasol has a rating of 102, has a balanced offensive and defensive balance, and his defensive ability is consistently underrated.
Yang Di dislikes the most counterpoint, one is Garnett, one is Nowitzki, and the other is him.
In the offseason, the Grizzlies traded "White Chocolate" Jason Williams in the Heat trade to get Eddie Jones of the Heat, who is also Youngdy's former teammate.
It's just that since the start of the game, the Grizzlies have fallen into the point guard curse.
Not only did Damon Stoudemire, who was just brought in in the summer, but Atkins, who was acquired in a recent trade, also suffer, and the team's current starting point guard is 32-year-old veteran Bobby Jackson.
Before the game began, Yang Di could clearly understand the rating status of each of the Grizzlies' starters.
The highest of these is Gasol's S-rating of 102, then starting point guard Eddie Jones with a rating of 91, A rating, small forward Sean Battier 88, A-rating, point guard Bobby Jackson 83, B+ rating, and center Lorenzen White 81, B+ rating.
In terms of overall ratings, the Warriors are a little better than the Grizzlies in every position.
But the rating is not everything, there are a lot of accidents in the game, if the Grizzlies players are in good shape, the almost rating is nothing, just like Yang Di, who can often beat opponents with many higher ratings than him, combined with his own strength and technology, low ratings can also play high efficiency.
Because the Warriors are currently ranked first in the West with 25 wins and 5 losses, while the Grizzlies are ranked fifth in the West with 19 wins and 10 losses, it can be regarded as a focus battle that has attracted enough eyeballs and attention.
CCTV5 also broadcast the game on Wednesday in Beijing.
Although there was also a game between the Rockets and the Wizards that day, Yao Ming was injured and Maddie led the team alone, so the court station naturally chose to broadcast the Warriors' game.
But in fact, the game between the Rockets and the Wizards is very exciting, Maddy and Arenas are the outstanding scorers in the league today, and the conversation between the two is full of highlights.
At around 6:30 p.m., the game started on time.
Because there was no grudge between the two teams, the scene was harmonious, Chandler jumped to win Lorenzen White, and the Warriors attacked in the first wave.
"Will you participate in this year's World Championships?" Pau Gasol is a bit habitually tongue-flicking in his pronunciation, and the Spaniard is very concerned about whether Yang Di will play for the Chinese team.
"When is the World Championships?" Yang Di asked rhetorically.
Pau Gasol almost didn't faint, and Yang Di, as the world's top basketball player, didn't even know when the World Championships would be held.
"In Japan, it's held from the end of August to the beginning of September, but it's held in the summer."
"Of course I know this, don't international events be staggered from the NBA schedule and held in the offseason! I really don't know about Japan. ”
"The lottery will be drawn in a few days, if you represent the Chinese team, then the Chinese team will have two NBA All-Star level players at once, and the strength will enter the world's top category." Pau Gasol said.
"So you want me to participate? Can I give you some difficulty in Spain? ”
"No, no, no, no, I'm just more concerned. In the first two years, you didn't have to participate in your country's national team, including the Olympics the year before. A basketball player as strong as you, if we were in Spain, we would be crying and begging for you to play for us. ”
"Yes."
"There are not too many international teams now, the United States, Argentina, Greece, etc., if you participate, then there is China." Pau Gasol has always had a heart to bring glory to his country, actively participated in various competitions of the national team, and has always aspired to win the world championship for Spain.
Why not Yang Di? After chatting with Gasol for a while about the international game, he fell silent.
At this time, the two teams on the court had already begun to meet, and Byron Davis beckoned Yang Di to come out to block and dismantle on the outside.
The two went out to the three-point line, and after blocking a moment, Davis noticed that the Grizzlies did not come to delay him, and he accelerated to break through from the left side of Pau Gasol, with Bobby behind him.
Yang Di went down, Gasol didn't dare to let go of Yang Di, and it seemed that he was in a dilemma between Davis and Yang Di, who were rushing at the same time.
Davis made a pull-up jump shot at the elbow area, and Bobby on his side pounced, although the hand finally covered Davis, but in fact it could only interfere with Davis's heart.
Davis hit a high jumper to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead in the opening period.
"I think you guys still have a couple of NBA players in China, don't you?"
"Well, yes, but they are both interior players, and the positions overlap with me and Yao Ming."
"Whew, that's good." Gasol let out a sigh of relief.
Then the two stopped talking about the World Championships, Gasol went out of the high post to cover Bobby, Bobby was also a high block, but Yang Di moved directly to cover and delay Bobby's pass.
Yang Di's broad body blocked, like a wall, Bobby's pass was a little slower, Davis chased after him, and then Yang Di moved and adjusted in broken steps, and his body was always in the way of Bobby's pass to Gasol.
Bobby could only go to the flank, to Sean Battier.
Battier tried to get on the loose and couldn't get past Danny Granger and crossed to Eddie Jones, who pulled up and threw a three-pointer to shoot against Ariza's defense.
"Huh~" sounded, hollow into the net, came up with a feel, good condition.
