Six Hundred and Twenty-Four: Ranking of the Top 50 Stars in the New Season

Dellavedova has become the second Jimmy Butler since his duel with Link that day.

Not only that, he became the first person to come to the training hall for the Grizzlies every day, but did not leave until the last one. Talent is not hard enough to make up, this sentence has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of Australians.

Seeing Dellavedova on the right track, Link felt a lot more at ease. It seems that the Australian is not stupid, he knows what he said that day.

Intentionally hurting people is really annoying. But as team leaders, they also have a responsibility to supervise their teammates. Watching your teammates hurt others without paying attention is not really noble.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

No matter what others do, Link will never allow such a dirty thing to happen to the Grizzlies.

Indeed, the Grizzlies are the big villain, and the players who gather here are all third-rate players. Their style is not flashy, they let a lot of high-level balloon stars hit a wall, and they are hated by a lot of fans.

But there is one thing, all the honors of the Grizzlies so far have been won by hard power, not by those crooked ways.

Indeed, in competitive sports, victory comes first. But at least in Link's three views, some victories are not worthy of being called victories.

In the next few preseason games, the Grizzlies won and lost, and they didn't show the dominance that the defending champs should have.

But Link's performance has always been very stable, and every time he has a limited time, he can show a good enough performance.

Dellavedova also gradually became known for his hard-working style and his groundhog-like appearance. At least most of the casters now see this option for the Grizzlies and can name him.

Finally a week before the start of the regular season, the Grizzlies ended their preseason tour with a 4-4 record, far from outstanding.

So the local media, eager to see the Grizzlies lose, started to play the trick.

"The Memphis Grizzlies could be the next Dallas Mavericks, and they could be one of the worst defending champions."

"The Grizzlies have barely strengthened this summer, and standing still is a step backward. This season, the Rockets and Clippers are likely to enter the ranks of the first echelon of the Western Conference. In such a situation, the Grizzlies want to complete the Defending the title is even more difficult."

"Link may be very strong, but the Grizzlies may not be able to keep their position. The Grizzlies only have Link as a superstar, which is an inevitable embarrassment for a small market. If Robert Pera is willing to be like If the Nets owner treats money like shit, it won't be so difficult for the Grizzlies."

"4 wins and 4 losses in the preseason, some people will say that it was because Link didn't play a few games, and he didn't play for a long time, so the results were not good. IMHO, this is the self-consolation of Grizzlies fans. Grizzlies fans. The Bears have a bland roster, and that's not a title-winning configuration."

The whole world is commenting on the Grizzlies, and of course, most of the comments are not pleasant. In fact, there are actually quite a few media who are optimistic about the Grizzlies, but their voices are quickly covered up.

What fans love to hear is not the compliments of the Grizzlies, they just love to hear what the Grizzlies can't do. After all, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that their team has a better chance of winning the championship.

ESPN joined the fray amid the slurs of the Grizzlies.

Of course, they did not come to spray the Grizzlies, but made a list of the 50 biggest stars in the 1314 season according to the annual practice.

This ranking will make a ranking based on the performance of the players last season and their predictions for a player's future. The ranking is only applicable to this season. It only judges a player's strength this season, and has nothing to do with past glory and honor.

Kobe Bryant, for example, is definitely one of the top ten or even top five players in league history. But in the 1314 season's top 50 star rankings, Kobe's ranking will certainly not be so high. Because no one knows how much Kobe can recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

This ranking is announced in 5 days, and 10 places are announced in one day. Controversy arose from the third day after the ranking was announced.

Because the Grizzlies, which other media called "the mediocre lineup", actually have consecutive players selected among the top 50 superstars in their rookie season!

The new season's 50 stars ranked No. 37, is the Grizzlies starting point guard Mike Conley. ESPN's assessment of him was straightforward, "Whether people like it or not, Conley is one of the top five point guards in the league."

Ranked 34th is Zach Randolph, who seems to be harmless to humans and animals. ESPN believes that Randolph is actually the Grizzlies' most reliable single player other than Link. He is the second Grizzlies who can really reach the first-class offensive level. player.

Iguodala ranked 29th. ESPN rated him as a smaller James, a superb helper like Scott Pippen. He can do everything, but nothing is top notch. However, such an ability is just right for a second-in-command.

Two days later, last season's double-second team + best defensive player winner Marc Gasol appeared, he ranked 12th!

It is worth mentioning that the legendary power forward Tim Duncan is just 13th after Gasol! In addition, behind Gasol there are interior stars such as Love, Griffin, Aldridge, Nowitzki, Noah, Lopez and so on.

Arguably, Gasol's ranking is by far the most questioned. Even if it is not compared to the honor of the past, it is only compared to the current strength. People also think that Gasol's ranking is too high.

Last season, Gasol ranked only 8th in the center position in scoring and 12th in rebounding, and even worse, his rebounding rate was only 13.1, and the center ranked 40th! People often laugh at Brook Lopez for not rebounding, but he also has a higher rebound rate than Gasol Jr. Among the top 12 players, no one's stats are as unremarkable as Gasol's.

ESPN certainly knows the numbers, but they still put Gasol at No. 12. Their judgment on Gasol is basically out of the data.

"Defensive ability is not reflected in statistics. The ability to change the direction of the opponent's shot will not be counted in the number of blocks. He is not only excellent in one-on-one defense, but also has a strong sense of help defense. When he was on the court last season, The Grizzlies lose 6.5 points per 100 possessions, and the efficiency value of the center against him is only Gasol's scoring ability at best, because he is a bit bulky, not flexible enough, and his shooting is not stable enough. Sol's high post ability is the reason why the Grizzlies can play well on offense. If you need good stats, Gasol is a scum. But if you need one to make the team better players, then it's Gasol."

For ESPN's evaluation, many media said it was nonsense. Only ESPN can say that the data difference is so refreshing and refined.

However, the next day, when people saw the end of this list, when they saw the top ten people, they instantly forgot about Gasol's 12th place. Because in the top ten, there is a more subversive ranking!

In ESPN's 1314 season's top 50 star rankings, Kevin Durant is only ranked third, even if ESPN considers him "the best scorer of the 21st century", he is only ranked third.

Ranked second, is now recognized as the first person in the league LeBron James.

Since the 0708 season, James has ranked first in player efficiency for six consecutive years. James averaged 1.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season. The shooting rate was 56.5%, the three-point shooting rate exceeded 40% for the first time, and the true shooting rate was as high as 64%. James has also developed post-up skills that make him even more unstoppable in the paint, shooting an incredible 78.3 percent from the rim.

James, who has the league's highest win shares, often defends from the 1 to the 5, and is the best passer on the wing, with more assists than most guards. He is like a warrior from the future, refreshing people's understanding of the word "almighty".

Regarding James, ESPN has exhausted its praise. But even so, James still ranked second.

And the person who ranked first among the top 50 stars in the 1314 season made the media stunned.

ESPN pushed Link, who won the championship last season, to the throne! Link's ranking first, and the fact that Gasol Jr. ranked 12th in an instant has become less exaggerated.

ESPN wrote a lengthy piece for Link explaining why he was No. 1. And in the first sentence of this article, ESPN made their point.

"LeBron is already so great, but last season, Link beat LeBron! And we all know that he is still improving!"

Link, Gasol, Iguodala, Randolph and Conley, 5 people from a team were selected for the new season's top 50 stars, and the Grizzlies created the most in the league!

You know, even the Miami Heat with a luxurious lineup, only 3 players were selected! The Grizzlies' roster is bland? ESPN doesn't see it that way.

Looking at the complete top 50 list, Link pouted. Come on, in the next few days, the controversy about myself will be discussed non-stop.

But then again, Link seems to have been living in controversy since the first day he entered the league.

Regarding ESPN's ranking, Link said he was very grateful. At least now, these mainstream sports media will no longer look down on him. Most of those who do things are local small media.

But Link is also very clear that after this ranking is announced, his every move in the new season will be studied under a magnifying glass.

No. 1 in the top 50 stars in a single season is not so easy to be.

Facing the Spurs in two days, Link will experience what it's like to play under a magnifying glass.

The greater the ability, the greater the pressure.
