Super Role Player

In order to predict the finals, ESPN is again the main force.

They organized a team of 26 experts, including ESPN’s own expert reporters, as well as columnists from other media, including Bill Simmons, Mark Stein, JA Adand, and Sam Ami of USA Today K, even including the super fan and director of the New York Knicks, Spike Lee.

In the 26-member panel of experts, in the final round of voting, only 6 people thought that the Spurs would defeat the Heat to win the championship. These 6 people also included Spike Lee, a pseudo-fake fan, because Spike Lee gave him the reason for choosing the Spurs. Yes: "Because the Heat beat the Knicks!"

Well, this has to be said to be a joke, but the expert team only supports the Spurs, which also represents the current fiery heat of the Big Three. Although the Eastern Conference finals played seven games and the Eastern Conference semifinals also played seven games, the Heat only Relying on the name of the Big Three can defeat everything.

Among the experts who support the Spurs, remove Spike Lee, a pseudo-expert and add pseudo-support. The other five experts are actually quite famous. Big Mouth Bill Simmons and Sam Amick both support the Spurs' victory.

Sam Amick’s support for the Spurs is understandable. This USA TODAY expert reporter has been paying more attention to the Spurs and is also familiar with the Spurs. Therefore, he is relatively optimistic about the Spurs. He thinks that the Celtics can put the Heat Forced to a tiebreaker, the Spurs can do more.

In terms of lineups, it is difficult to compare the Spurs and the Heat. After all, they are two different structures, but compared with the Celtics, they are much simpler. Point guard Tony Parker vs. Lagarrondo, both defensively and offensively. Considering it as a tie; then considering shooting guards, the old Ray Allen obviously can't compare with the shooting guard line composed of the second team of the best defensive team Anxi and the best sixth man Manu Ginobili and Danny Green. of.

As for the small forward, Kawhi Leonard is not inferior to Paul Pierce, but at least he is not inferior to Paul Pierce in defensive terms. In addition, Anxi, who can swing from the 3rd to the 4th position, is the small forward position. From the perspective of Sam Amick, it is more effective Even better than the Celtics. After all, the Celtics do not have the two perimeter defensive champions Anxi and Kawhi Leonard. Against the Heat, the defense at the third position is very important.

In the fourth position, the Spurs are Boris Dioga de Juan Blair. They attack and defend, complement each other, and are strong, especially Boris Dior. His partner with Tony Parker can be said to activate the Spurs offensive system. . The Celtics have only one Brandon Buss in the fourth position, which is still a functional power forward that makes up the number, and the Spurs dominate.

At the center position, the Spurs are Tim Duncan's cameo, plus Tiago Splitter on the bench, compared to the Celtics' Kevin Garnett, the Spurs have a little advantage in the depth of the bench.

Therefore, on the whole, the Spurs dominate the Celtics. The Celtics can force the Heat to fight back in the sixth game and force LeBron James to turn on the killer mode, and the Spurs will have more. opportunity.

But for Sam Amick’s comparison, Mark Stern said he sneered. He felt that strength is not comparable, let alone two unrelated teams that can be compared, and the Heat have two top ten superstars in the league. Among them, LeBron James is the number one in the league. This kind of hard power is something the Spurs do not possess. This kind of hard power is the most important in the finals.

And Mark Stein basically represents the opinions of ESPN, and ESPN is obviously more optimistic about the Heat.

As for Bill Simmons, this belongs to ESPN in name. In fact, he doesn’t have much contact with ESPN. He is at best a personal writer who publishes articles on ESPN column. For the Heat and Spurs duel, Bill Simmons vs. Spurs Optimistic surprised many people, but when the ESPN host asked the reason, Bill Simmons only answered one name.

"Anxi!"

"Anxi?" Many expert reporters were stunned.

Bill Simmons then spoke eloquently: "Yes, it is Anxi. My thoughts are similar to Sam, but what differs from him is that I think it’s not every position and the Celtics that the Spurs can win decisively. Compared with the Celtics, the Spurs have Anxi. He defended Kevin Durant in the Western Conference finals. If Anxi can limit LeBron James in the finals, then this finals would be There is no more suspense."

"Of course, there is no absolute limit. What I want to say is, if the Celtics have an Anxi...no...or they can just keep Tony Allen. Tony Allen is there to guard Dwyaneway. Either Germany or LeBron James, the Celtics can easily win the game, and won't lose the G6 game at all."

Bill Simmons' words made many people think deeply, and also made many people disapproving. By 2012, many people still didn't know much about 3D players and disagreed with the importance of perimeter defensive players.

"Is a perimeter defensive player really that important?" Many people began to think of Bruce Bowen, Lagabele, and Sean Battier.

In fact, these defensive players have a certain status in their respective teams, but if, as Bill Simmons said, perimeter defensive players are regarded as winners and losers in the finals, then it is a bit too important. These defensive players, most of them feel that defensive players are not up to this point.

Before the start of the finals, Anxi suddenly came to the forefront. Bill Simmons's argument made Anxi the hottest topic before the finals.

On the morning of June 12, the Miami Heat's special plane arrived in San Antonio. A large number of reporters gathered at the airport pick-up gate. When LeBron James came out of the airport carrying a suitcase, a group of reporters surrounded him.

"LeBron, what do you think of Bill Simmons?"

"LeBron~www.novelmtl.com~ Bill Simmons said the Spurs' Anxi was the winner of the finals. What do you think?"

"LeBron, you have played against Anxi, do you think his defense can really limit you?"

Listening to the questions about Anxi one by one, LeBron James paused and answered these questions in a unified manner: "What Bill Simmons said I will not pay attention to it. I will only play the finals. I will be in 2012. I won the first championship of my career in 2015. As for Anxi, I only played against him once, and he couldn't help me."

Can Anxi guard LeBron James? In fact, even Anxi himself did not have that much confidence. To guard against Kevin Durant, it was because Anxi's state was on the table and his defensive awareness reached the top value of 99. In the fourth game, Anxi's defensive awareness declined. Doesn't it just limit Kevin Durant to 70?

Therefore, Anxi thinks that in this finals, his minimum expectation should be to limit LeBron James to a certain extent. As for whether he can do more, it depends on his consciousness and state.
