First Yi Jianlian, second LeBron James, third Kevin Durant!

"Why is Huaxia Yi ranked first? I admit that his strength so far this season is very good. His performance at critical moments and even his ability overwhelm LeBron James, but he has not led the team to the finals yet. He has never won the regular season mvp, and lacks hard conditions. When he gets more honors, it will not be too late to rank first!"

"Carmelo Anthony is not on the list? A starting All-Star small forward who has made the All-Star team three times in the past 7 years is not in the top three of the league small forwards? ESPn's **** experts, you are crazy Right?"

The controversy of the fans is mainly concentrated in the above two aspects.

The first is whether the current Yi Jianlian should put him in the position of the league's number one small forward. It is true that he played very well this season, almost a historical performance, but there is one thing to say that the honor he won is indeed a bit Less, except for the Best Rookie and Most Improved Player awards, the other hard indicators may only be the second team of the league's best team in the 08-09 season. In addition, no matter how you break your fingers, you can still count as honor. Maybe only the All-Star will start!

Can such a little honor rank ahead of LeBron James?

LeBron James has won much more honors than Yi Jianlian so far: the best rookie award, two All-Star mvp, one regular season mvp, 2007 NBA Eastern Conference champion, three NBA All-NBA Team First Team selections, two selections The second team of the nba's best team, also was selected to the league's best defensive team, in 2008 also won the scoring leader.

In short, LeBron has won all the awards except the championship and finals mvp.

Comparing from this perspective, Yi Jianlian's superb performance in the past half-season wants to be ahead of LeBron, which is somewhat unreasonable.

"Before Yi Jianlian has won more hard honors, no matter how good he is, he has to be behind LeBron for the time being. Everyone knows that LeBron James' current goal is only the championship. Therefore, in order to be in the playoffs. To exert strength, there is a possibility for him to save his strength in the regular season! I believe that China Easy's current strength can already be equal to LeBron, but he can never be allowed to sit on the basis of a best rookie and a most improved player award. In the position of the league's number one small forward, right?"

"This position is not so easy to sit on!"

Most of the fans praised this point of view, and they no longer question Yi Jianlian's strength, but before Yi Jianlian has made a greater breakthrough, he will definitely not be ranked first.

Another controversial place is that Kevin Durant squeezed Carmelo Anthony down, which caused many fans and some experts to have a lot of objections.

"Carmelo Anthony is a superstar who has entered the league's best team and entered the All-Star starter. He shouldn't be on this list!"

"A guy who has never received any honor can actually be ranked third at the small forward position? Is this era crazy?"

The reasons for the fans and experts who opposed Kevin Durant's ranking in front of Carmelo Anthony are similar to those opposed to Yi Jianlian's ranking in front of LeBron. They are all refuted on the grounds of hard honor!

This situation has also happened in the past. For example, after the 05-06 season, Dwyane Wade once occupied the league's first shooting guard's throne. At that time, his criticism was not much smaller than that of Yi Jianlian.

But as Kobe later got a championship ring, plus a finals mvp trophy, and Wade suffered an injury, the Heat gradually sinking to this day, no one has discussed this topic anymore!

In the final analysis, if you want to rank first in this league, even if it's only the first in a single position, there is no shortage of data and honor!

The statistics represent how well you played, and the accumulated honors represent how well you played throughout your career.

Yi Jianlian has now proven himself with data, and what he has to do now is to prove himself with honor!

The turmoil caused by "espn" showed no signs of stopping in a short period of time. Instead, it became more and more troublesome, especially the dispute over the position of the small forward, which gradually spread to various message boards about NBA reports.

Chris Haynes, the famous columnist of "espn", published an article titled "The era of NBA small forwards has arrived" in response to these phenomena.

"In the 2007 draft, the Thunder were in Seattle. Sorry, they were called the Sonics at the time. The mark that Ray Allen left on this team is still there, but they have ushered in a new future-Kevin Durant, the super rookie that the Sonics won with the second pick in the first round, officially entered the league. Soon after he shook hands with David Stern, the Bucks used the first-round deal from the Grizzlies. The fourth pick won Yi from China, the Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace probably regretted not directly detaining Yi Jianlian, right? And for the Bucks at the time, Michael Reed was still the best boss!"

"That was the era when shooting guards were in power. At least half of the teams in the league are shooting guards at the core!"

"Maybe no one has thought that these two guys who are 2 meters and 11 tall will change the alliance, and they have grown up at an amazing speed!"

"This is their third season. Kevin Durant averaged 31.8 points per game and ranked first in the league in scoring; Yi Jianlian averaged 31.5 points, 10.1 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game, and even surpassed LeBron in comprehensiveness. James!"

"Their rapid growth has added two top small forwards in this league. Following the tradition, perhaps we can call them, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, four forwards. The history is always similar. The forwards are also two in the east and two in the west!"

"If these don’t tell you everything~lightnovelpub.net~ Granger who averaged 24.1 points and 5.5 rebounds, Paul Pierce who averaged 18.3 points and 4.4 rebounds, and Iguoda who averaged 17.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists. La, as well as Stephen Jackson, who averaged 21.1 points per game, and the Hawks’ leader, Josh Smith. This series of names is enough to prove that the league has too many excellent small forwards, and even some of them were completely the league’s top small forwards in the first two years. Players in the forward ranks, they can only be regarded as the first-class small forwards in the league, because above them, there are four unattainable mountains!"

"But even if they are not top-notch, they are the core players in their respective teams!"

"How similar is it to Arenas, Ray Allen and Michael Reed of the Big Four shooting guards like this?"

"I have to mention one more point. At present, the league's top five scoring averages per game. Except for Dwyane Wade who is ranked fifth, the other four positions are divided by these four top small forwards!"

"If you want me to continue speaking, there is still a lot of evidence that can be said, but what I have said above is enough to support my point of view!"

"NBA, after experiencing the era of center forward and shooting guard, now it has officially entered the era of small forward!"
