Why did Jordan and James have different results when they also complained to the referee？

Why did Jordan and James have different results when they also complained to the referee?

This question is very interesting. This includes two aspects: spiritual and external performance. First, mentally, Jordan respects basketball, so he is upright and arrogant in his heart when playing. Mr. Murong focuses on profit, and his sense of superiority comes from profit. Even if he gains unjustly, people like Zhai Tianlin are indulged by the referee, and he also intends to use it himself, even at the expense of bowing down to all directions.

Second, whether the double standard how external performance? Jamie’s logic is: you say James walks, then Jordan can’t walk once, you say James stands, then Jordan can’t stand once. How generous are you to yourself and strict with the law? Therefore, Jamie’s performance focuses on profit, which is the same as Zhan’s spiritual core. Isn’t this interesting?

Jordan didn’t stand up a few times in his life, and James did it all the time. Jordan spread his hand and scored six three-pointers at half-time in the finals, with his hands spread out, invincible and helpless. And my impression is that Jordan questioned the referee’s penalty, which is just a few words, without pestering or begging humbly, and finally responded with action. If there had been any weak behavior at that time, it would have become a big news. You know, in the last three companies, Jordan has become the public enemy of the league, and young elites want to ignore Jordan’s position.

Jordan is good at physical confrontation, and he doesn’t have any bad moves, especially diving and padding. Then the referee will respond naturally when he stands up, and most of his hands are self-satisfied, so I can’t help it. James has been diving, padding and walking for 20 years, which can be said to be the worst type in the top 10 in history. It is naturally another result that he is so weak! Be strict with others, be lenient with yourself, and naturally be laughed at.

Jordan didn’t play basketball at his peak, he didn’t take his talent anywhere at his peak, and he didn’t take the initiative to hug his thighs at his peak. The only thing he did was that he was bored at his peak and retired to play baseball, and then the NBA cried and begged him to come back. So don’t make excuses, why do different players have different understandings of the same thing, blame the referee? Strange fans? It depends on a player’s long-standing impression, so don’t push your problems out.

And it doesn’t matter how many points you score, it mainly depends on how much role you play on the team. Like last season’s regular season, you hold a lot of ball rights and don’t retreat. Such scores are meaningless. And LeBron’s defensive ability is not a problem at all. His size and strength determine that he will be an excellent defender if he wants to defend. The problem is that his defensive attitude is really not good, especially when he is old.

Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team Buys Out Li Jinglong! It’s time for Guangdong to take a fancy to the tough guy in the front line and test Zhu Fangyu.

In the offseason, the Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team made an unexpected decision. According to the latest news, the club bought out Li Jinglong, which means that the relationship between Li Jinglong and the Shenzhen team has completely ended. This news is not good news for Li Jinglong, because his future has become uncertain and he will probably leave the CBA.

Although Li Jinglong performed well in Guangsha team before, his performance in Shanghai team was not ideal, especially without the help of Li Chunjiang, it was difficult for him to gain a foothold in CBA league. Due to passive competition, Li Chunjiang has left the Shanghai team and has been banned for five years, which makes Li Jinglong’s situation even more difficult.

For Li Jinglong, the most important thing now is to find a new home. He can consider going to other CBA teams to try it, or transforming to play three-person basketball. In any case, he needs to continue to work hard and improve his own strength in order to achieve better results in future competitions. However, he is only a functional shooter, and it is really difficult to gain the trust of the team after the sharp decline in three-point shooting percentage.

Generally speaking, this decision is an opportunity for both Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team and Li Jinglong to make a fresh start. Although Li Jinglong’s future is uncertain, he can use his own strength to prove his value and try to find a new breakthrough outside the stadium, such as opening a youth training institution.

During the offseason, the Guangdong team has been looking for ways to strengthen the team’s strength, and their goal is now very clear, that is, to strengthen the lineup of striker players. However, the result is loud thunder and little rain, and there is no substantial reinforcement. According to a well-known basketball reporter, Guangdong Hongyuan took a fancy to Zhang Dianliang and Zhu Songwei, the tough strikers of the former Sichuan team, but they no longer play in CBA. Among them, Zhang Dianliang joined the professional three-person basketball team and Zhu Songwei went to overseas leagues.

Although Zhang Dianliang doesn’t play in CBA league, he is a very powerful small forward and can bring great help to Guangdong team. If Guangdong team wants to sign Zhang Dianliang, they must persuade Sichuan team to release him, because Sichuan men’s basketball team has excellent signing rights.

In addition to Zhang Dianliang, Zhu Songwei’s signing right is also in the hands of the Sichuan team. If Guangdong can sign all these two players, the team’s forward strength will be greatly improved. Although these two players are not playing in CBA league now, it is said that they are willing to join Guangdong team.

Now the problem is still with the Sichuan team, and the Guangdong team needs to convince them to complete the transaction. Fans believe that Zhu Fangyu will be able to convince Sichuan team through his negotiation skills and let Guangdong team get these two powerful players. #CBA#

Goodbye Pang Hu, goodbye Pelican! New Orleans core application transaction, stag recruitment, letter excitement

According to American media reports, Zion, the star of the New Orleans Pelican, has been worried about his future career. Because of Ingram’s rapid growth and selection into the national team, his prospects are already very worrying. In addition, the team management has made up its mind to deal with him this summer.

His agent is currently paying close attention to the possibility of other teams trading him. Players’ priority is to play in the big ball city or the championship team, and will not accept rebuilding teams outside the playoffs. Milwaukee Bucks, new york Knicks, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and other teams are potential targets, depending on who the players want to join hands with.

Goodbye Pang Hu, goodbye Pelican! New Orleans core application transaction, stag recruitment, letter excitement

At present, Pelican is actually very optimistic about trading Zion. Now, only because some management personnel are on vacation, they have no time to deal with this matter. However, the player himself knows that it is only a countdown to his departure from New Orleans, and fans have called on the management to trade him as soon as possible.

There are a large number of teams interested in Pang Hu. If there is no injury, his annual salary will be higher and his business value will also rise. However, this situation is not bad now. After the contract expires, he will have the opportunity to get a super salary of more than 45 million.

According to reports, Milwaukee Bucks are very interested in him, because they hope that the ball emperor can let him ban Middleton, who is old and has many injuries. Bringing him here will improve the team’s chances of winning the championship, and it can also become the third place in the first print. Joining with Brother Alphabet will also enhance business value and personal level, which is very good.

If the Bucks want to do it this summer, the end of August to mid-September is the best opportunity. The team can use Potis as the main body of the transaction, and it is no problem to get young players and draft picks. The Pelican can accept these players and continue to deal with them, discounting a large number of draft picks or trading them to a good defender who can play with Yingge.

Bucks, except for letters and young players, all the other players can actually be said to be dispensable. Of course, Holliday can’t sell. The big Lomi God is very unstable. The former is almost forty years old, so this is his last career time. The team can contact Mitchell next summer or this summer if it wants. If it is formed into a combination of Holliday+Mitchell+Zion+letters+Daluo, the prospects will be very bright.

From the point of view of the letter brother, in fact, the arrival of Zion can maximize the team’s confrontation ability, which is also the advantage of the team. In addition, besides considering the deal to get Pang Hu, the team can also try to get other players such as alvarado to join the deal. If they can come, it will be even more powerful, and they are looking forward to the new Milwaukee Bucks!

I have something to say.

In fact, there is another plan that Bucks can consider, get Zion and then trade for Harden. With Harden here, there is no problem with the instant strength and rotation of this team, and the pick-and-roll system will be more perfect. The combination of two people with letters and beards has always been hotly discussed by everyone, and we are looking forward to the two people joining hands.

Little Potter can’t keep the rocket？ Us media sun 1 for 2 trading plan： join the clippers and join hands to win the championship.

With the introduction of Van fleet and the selection of Amen Thompson by the Rockets, it is widely believed that Potter’s playing time will be affected and it is difficult to stay in the city for a long time. On August 4th, Beijing time, the US media came up with a 1-for-2 trading plan, suggesting that the Rockets and Clippers trade in exchange for Norman Powell and the first round signing in 2029.

For the Clippers, it makes sense to try 23-year-old Potter. If they don’t get Harden in the end, Porter Jr. is an alternative choice. At the same time, he has a certain scoring ability and can become the third scoring point of the Clippers.

Last season, Potter averaged 19.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, scoring and rebounding to a career high, and his three-point shooting percentage was 36.6%. Of course, the Clippers don’t want to lose a substitute scorer like Powell, but the addition of Porter Jr. can raise their offensive limit. He can become the starting backcourt with Wei Shao and pose a threat to his opponent.

Besides, little Potter is young enough to be a member of the Clippers in the future. If the clippers can get him at the right price, it is quite worthwhile.

As for the Rockets, they can add a reliable veteran and get a first-round signing. The 30-year-old Powell can be the sixth man in the Rockets. Last season, he averaged 17 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He is willing to play as a substitute and is good at playing as a substitute. The Clippers’ first round in 2029 is also very valuable, when the Clippers may not be champions.

The US media also said that the Rockets will not have the motivation to lose in the new season, because their 2024 draft was signed in the hands of Thunder in exchange for Powell, which is very meaningful for the Rockets.

Potter has four years left on his contract, but only this season is it fully guaranteed. In the 2023-24 season, his salary was $18.23 million, Powell had three years left in his contract, and his salary in the 2023-24 season was $18 million.

The stars are dim! The American men’s basketball team lost to the sparring team in succession, but coach Cole said it was ＂tradition＂

The high-profile American men’s basketball team has concentrated in Las Vegas to prepare for the Men’s Basketball World Cup. These days, the American men’s basketball team is playing a warm-up match with the sparring team for 10 minutes in two consecutive games, but the American men’s basketball team has lost to the sparring team, which makes the outside world have more worries and even doubts about this team that lacks star flavor. However, coach Cole has different views on this. He thinks that the American men’s basketball team has always been like this before, and losing during the preparation period has become a "tradition".
In the face of this year’s World Cup, NBA bigwigs are still uninterested. At present, the established American men’s basketball team lacks absolute superstars and is even regarded as the worst team in history by the outside world. It is true from the talent of players. The core lineup of this American men’s basketball team includes Ingram, Halliburton, bridges and Jackson. Although they are all-star players, they are still far from superstars. Comparatively speaking, the coach lineup of the American men’s basketball team is luxurious, with Warriors coach Cole in command, Clippers owner Bruu and Heat coach Spostra, who are NBA champion coaches.
All the players of this mediocre talent American men’s basketball team are playing the World Cup for the first time. People are not optimistic about what they can do. The fact that this team lost to the sparring team in a row during the concentration period aggravated the worries of the outside world.
However, Cole did not agree. He said, "This is a tradition of the American men’s basketball team, and everyone knows about it. In 2019, that is, in the last World Cup, the sparring team kicked the ass of the team. This is the point. You want the best players to join the sparring team to challenge you. This is what the sparring team is doing now. "
The 2019 Men’s Basketball World Cup was a disgraceful record of the American men’s basketball team. At that time, there was also a lack of heavy players to help them, and they finally got the seventh bad result. However, when the American men’s basketball team went to the Tokyo Olympics and many superstars returned, they won the Olympic champion as they wished. At that time, Cole was an assistant to the American men’s basketball team, assisting the then coach Popovich. Now Cole, who is the coach, is likely to go back to the past.

Iverson： Harden needs to prove himself. Only Curry James can be called super giant in active service.

Iverson: Harden needs to prove himself. Only Curry James can be called super giant in active service.

Recently, there was a shocking remark in the basketball world. Iverson, a former NBA player, said that he thought james harden needed to prove himself before he could be called a superstar, while only Stephen Curry and lebron james can be called real superstars in active service.

Iverson’s evaluation of Harden has caused extensive discussion and controversy. As the star of Houston Rockets, Harden’s scoring ability and organization ability are unparalleled in the league. He has been the king of scoring and assists in the past few seasons. With his outstanding personal performance, he led the team into the playoffs many times. However, Iverson believes that Harden still needs to prove his leadership ability and the strength to win the championship at a critical moment before he can really be called a superstar.

For Harden, this is undoubtedly a challenge and pressure. As a top player, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading the team to achieve better results. In the past few seasons, the rockets have encountered some difficulties in the playoffs and failed to make further breakthroughs. This has also become a question of whether Harden can play well at a critical moment. Harden needs to show stronger leadership and winning ability in the game and lead the team to higher honors.

However, Iverson’s remarks also caused some different voices. Some people think that Harden has proved his strength, and his outstanding performance and personal honor are enough to prove that he is a superstar. In fact, Harden has been selected into the All-Star Team for several consecutive seasons and is considered as one of the top scorers in the league today. His skill, basketball IQ and court dominance are indisputable.

In any case, the title of superstar is not easy to get. Only a few players can reach this height. They not only need excellent personal ability, but also need to play well at critical moments and lead the team to victory. Stephen Curry and lebron james, as superstars among active players, have made outstanding achievements in both personal honor and team achievement.

For Harden, he needs to accept this challenge and continue to work hard to improve his ability and leadership. Only when you prove your worth at a critical moment can you really get the title of superstar. No matter how the outside world evaluates it, Harden needs to focus on his basketball career and prove his value with practical actions.

As the top star among the active NBA players, Harden is undoubtedly under great pressure and expectation. His outstanding performance and achievements have made him a hot topic for fans. However, the answer to whether he can be called a superstar is not simple, because the definition of superstar may be different in different people’s eyes.

Superstars not only refer to players’ personal abilities on the field, but also include their influence on the team and the overall performance of the team. At this point, Curry and James do have the qualities of superstars. Curry led the Warriors to win the championship in a row, and his shooting skills and leadership are indisputable. James, on the other hand, is a player who has won the championship for many times. He led the team to succeed in the playoffs with his comprehensive skills and high basketball IQ.

However, Harden still has some room for improvement in this respect. Although he has excellent scoring and organizational skills in personal ability, his leadership and performance at critical moments still need to be strengthened. In the past few playoff games, the Rockets failed to make a breakthrough in the confrontation with strong enemies, which also affected Harden’s recognition as a superstar to some extent.

Harden needs to be more calm and decisive at the critical moment, not only to be excellent in personal performance, but also to become the leader of the team. He needs to take more responsibility in the game and lead the team to achieve better results. Only by showing his value in the success of the team and the competition for the championship can Harden really get the title of superstar.

However, whether Harden is called a superstar or not, his achievements and contributions can not be ignored. As a top player, he has proved his position in the league. His outstanding performance has brought countless wonderful moments to the fans, and his personal honor is beyond doubt. No matter how the outside world evaluates, Harden should continue to strive to improve his ability and strive for more victories for the team.

Generally speaking, the title of superstar needs to be proved by practical actions on the field. Harden needs to make a breakthrough in personal ability and leadership before he can really get this title. In any case, he has become one of the most influential and powerful players in the current NBA, and his basketball talent and efforts deserve our appreciation and attention.

Different choices： Kobe failed to catch up with Jordan, and James found another way to ＂be king＂ in another place.

When it comes to the comparison between Kobe and Jordan, most people think that Jordan is the first shooting guard in the NBA, Kobe is the second shooting guard in the NBA, and Jordan is in front of Kobe, which is not controversial.

When it comes to the comparison between James and Jordan, most people think that Jordan is ahead of James; But some people think that James should be ahead of Jordan.

The reason why there is such a big difference is not because James is better than Kobe, but because of the track problem.

Kobe’s choice is to catch up with Jordan head-on. His route is similar to Jordan’s, and even his playing style and style are close to Jordan’s. In this case, Jordan has six champions and six FMVPs, and Kobe has five champions and two FMVPs, so everyone thinks that Jordan won and Kobe lost.

James’ choice was to find another way. The route he took was different from Jordan’s, and even this road was not traveled by many people. In the end, James achieved some "first" achievements on his own road, but many NBA stars including Jordan didn’t, so James did what they didn’t do, so comparing from different angles, naturally James could be ahead of Jordan.

The most typical example is that James is the first player in NBA history to get FMVP from three different teams, but Jordan, Duncan, Russell, Bird, Jabbar and other stars can’t even get together with three teams. From this perspective, James is indeed the first person in history.

This is also the reason why in the first-person vote in history, Kobe got less votes and James got more votes.

Take the World Cup group match as an example. In the 2022 World Cup group match, the first in Group E is Japan, the second is Spain, the first in Group F is Morocco, and the second is Croatia.

Jordan is Morocco and Kobe is Croatia. They are very comparable. In contrast, Jordan is in the lead, so there is no suspense in the ranking. Jordan is the first and Kobe is the second.

James is Japan, and he is on his own way, and he is also the first. Durant and Harden are similar to James’ route. Obviously, they are all behind James.

When choosing the strongest team in the group stage, no one will choose Croatia because it has Morocco in front of it, but someone will choose Japan because it is also the first in the group. But can you say that Japan, which ranks first in Group E, must be better than Croatia, which ranks second in Group F?

Obviously not.

This is Kobe’s paranoia.

In fact, there was only one person in Kobe’s pursuit, that is Jordan. He just wanted to catch up with Jordan. As for the others, he didn’t care. For him, he either surpassed Jordan or didn’t surpass him. That’s all. In his cognition, there is no difference between the second place and the 100th place, so he can say that the second place is the biggest loser.

Of course, there was another one he wanted to surpass, and that was O ‘Neill …

James, on the other hand, is more rational and smarter.

Perhaps he wanted to catch up with Jordan’s path in the early days, but after realizing the difficulty, he chose another one. On this road, James was one of the pioneers, and finally he succeeded and became the leader of this road.

You can’t say that James’s other way is bad. After all, many imitators followed James’s old path, but their achievements were not as high as James’s, such as Durant.

And James is also trying to collect all kinds of "firsts" to increase his chips for the GOAT.

There are many criteria for the selection of the GOAT, among which James is the GOAT, but in fact, from a competitive point of view, Jordan is undoubtedly the GOAT, which is the fundamental reason why Jordan has a very high position in the NBA.

Two first round signings+Ethan! The Rockets refused the Pacers’ asking price, and Uduka planned to tap the potential internally.

Rockets starting center Sengong and backup center Landale have been unable to train in Houston recently. Both international players have to play for their respective national teams, and Uduka can only express regret.

Is the inside line of the rocket a little weak? Some fans expressed concern.

In the analysis of the Rockets’ prospects for next season, "bleachers" said that neither Sengong nor Randall can be regarded as defensive experts, and Houston should consider reinforcing the position of center.

The Rockets signed five players in a row, but none of them were centers.

Houston reporter Kelly Apotheker said that the Rockets fully recruited Daluo after the free agent market opened, but the latter refused the offer. Uduka can only choose Landale as a spare tire, which is also a helpless move. Kelly Apotheker said Rockets owner Fertitta wants to see the team return to the playoffs next season, and Si Tong is also considering making a deal to reinforce it.

For the position of center, Kelly Eco has expressed his concern about Alperen Sengong before. He bluntly said that Houston needs a big black man, and Miles Turner is perfect for Udoka’s system. Kelly Apotheker has repeatedly mentioned that Rockets general manager Si Tong is interested in Turner who can throw a three-point guard.

What price does the Rockets need to pay to get Turner? Sbnation said that the Pacers’ price tag for Turner is quite high, and the Rockets probably need to pay two unprotected first-round signings and Ethan to impress the Pacers’ management.

"NBA Analysis Network" recently revealed that the Pacers’ asking price for Turner is at least three first-round signings. It is suggested that the Rockets use Potter, Tate, the first round signing of the Nets in 2024 and the first round signing of the Nets in 2026 to bid for Turner.

It’s too expensive! "fansided" said that the Rockets would refuse the asking price of the Pacers.

Miles Turner, 27, is 2.11 meters tall and 2.24 meters tall. Born in Texas, he recently held a free basketball camp in Dallas to guide children to play.

Turner played the best data of his career last season, averaging 18 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.3 hats, shooting 54.8% from the field and 37.3% from three-pointers. He also renewed his contract with the team for two years, and his annual salary in the next two seasons totaled 40 million US dollars. The data is good-looking and the contract is cost-effective, so the walkers have the confidence to offer high prices.

But obviously Turner is not worth the rocket’s so many chips. Although Turner has won the league’s blocked shot, his defense is not the first-class level in the league, and his offensive means are limited. He has not been selected as an All-Star and the best defensive team.

Four months ago, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle admitted in an interview that the team had received many offers for Turner, and he personally thought that the big man should be kept.

To put it bluntly, the Pacers made a big opening in the negotiation, and the buyers thought it was too expensive to quit the negotiation, so Turner had to stay. At the beginning, the Rockets also hoped to exchange Wood for two first-round signings, but no one was willing to pay this price. In the end, they could only deal with one first-round signing and an expired contract.

It’s not surprising that the Pacers want Ethan. This team wants to reinforce the position of small forward, and it has won Bruce Brown at a high price of $45 million for two years, which is also one of the goals of the Rockets. Brown is 26 years old and 1.93 meters tall, and Ethan is 22 years old and 2.03 meters tall. The latter is in better physical condition and has a higher upper limit. The Pacers’ contract with Brown is only guaranteed for one year, while Ethan still has a rookie bonus for three years.

Ethan played a combination of attack and defense in the summer league. He said that he can play both power forward and small forward, and he hopes to become a superstar like Leonard. A number of draft experts have expressed their optimism about Ethan, and such an expert will naturally make the pedestrians greedy.

Uduka also admired Ethan and asked Tommy Tam to guide the young man. Fame Fagan said that Si Tong has no plans to use Ethan as a bargaining chip at present.

The Rockets don’t have to pay a high price for a strong center. Uduka plans to tap the potential inside the center position. He has invited a first-class shooting coach in the league, and he is also good at training defense himself. He hopes to improve Sengong’s shooting and defense, and at the same time, he has considered letting Smith, who has the ability to change defense indefinitely, be the backup center.
