Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 12 If He Doesn’t Succeed, Who Will?
This was the domestic media in the 00s.

If a player performs well, they will praise him to the skies, without caring about the player's life or death.

Yi Jianlian later became a typical example.

After entering the NBA with the sixth pick in the first round, the media wanted to write a separate article about every goal, every defense, and every free throw he made, with extremely wild titles:
"Ya Lian refused to give up an inch of ground and was controversially sent off. If he was still here, would the game go into overtime?"

"The Hawks' starting center only scored 0 points and 2 rebounds. How much should he get for his 1900 million salary?"

"Ya Lian's dunk over the defense demonstrates the aesthetics of violence, and the 5-year, 3400 million-dollar player becomes a prop!"

"No one in New Jersey can take on Yi Jianlian's gun, the third pick? He is just rough!"

……

If it weren't for these media's mindless exaggerations, the number of Alian's "anti-fans" would be reduced by at least two-thirds.
Now that Al-Farouq Aminu has not yet entered the NBA, Su Wan has become the target of domestic media hype.

His summer league performance was worthy of such praise.

But Su Wan knew very well that with his current strength, if he really entered the NBA, even if the "zone" mode was turned on, he would only be a qualified substitute player. By then, he would inevitably follow the old path of Yi Jianlian. The media took out every one of his shots and analyzed them frame by frame.

If he were to be caught in a situation like "With a slight smile, Su Wan has won the trust of the head coach" or "Wan Mei", it would be embarrassing just to think about it.

When he was a "social animal" in his previous life, he used these memes a lot!

In the end, the clown turned out to be me?
This is absolutely not okay!
Su Wan suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

At dawn the next day, he showed up at the temporary gym to train hard. Although it was only a week since he came here, after opening the "The Zone" mode three times, he can now control his body well and carry out basic basketball training.

On the way to the training hall, Su Wan carefully looked at his attribute panel.

In the summer league, his playing style was versatile and balanced, with breakthroughs, shooting, passing assists, blocks and steals all at his fingertips.

However, in the NBA, where there are more talented players, his all-around skills may turn into nothing. ——The reason why most high-ranking rookies in the draft, in addition to their personal self-control and the small probability of sudden death or car accidents, eventually become "parallel imports" is that their abilities are too balanced and they have no outstanding highlights.

For example, some players who can play as a three or four-position swingman in the NCAA will appear to be too slow to play as a three-position player in the NBA, or too short or too weak to play as a four-position player. There are too many examples to list here.
For example, some NCAA breakthrough masters have to transform in the NBA due to physical fitness and other reasons.

One of the representatives is the current Bucks' rising star Michael Redd. He rose to prominence in college with his breakthroughs, and shooting was his weak link, but he eventually gained a foothold in the NBA, relying on his accurate shooting.

There is also Tony Allen, who has not yet entered the league. In his freshman year, he averaged 16.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game, and scored 1000 points in two seasons in college. However, after entering the league, he became a defensive expert, and his best offensive season was averaging 11.5 points per game.

Su Wan knew very well that if he could not find a more specialized direction, then once he entered the NBA regular season, he would become another representative of "parallel imports".

From the data provided by the panel, there is also the upper limit of each ability.

His physical fitness can continue to improve and once fully developed, he will be able to reach All-Star level.

His excellent physical fitness gives him the potential to become a "defensive pioneer".

As for the offensive end, off-ball running and breakthroughs are his two abilities with the highest ceiling.

His off-ball running potential is 70 points, and his breakthrough potential is 68 points.

These two data combined with his excellent physical fitness.

His playing style for the new season is obvious: a "striker" who cuts from the wing.

There is also a good template in the league right now:

That's Richard Jefferson of the Nets.

As a core player of the Nets who reached the finals for two consecutive years, Jefferson, led by Jason Kidd, averaged 18.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 50%!

Su Wan knew that his statistics would increase further next season.

Using him as your initial template is actually a good choice.

And this style of play just complements LeBron James. ——3D wing has always been LeBron's favorite partner. Following this path, Suwan will definitely be one of the Cavaliers' starting five in the new season.

but!

LeBron is not Jason Kidd.

Kidd plays like a standard "traditional point guard". His passing only depends on the positions of his teammates. If his teammates are in a good position, he will definitely pass the ball.

LeBron's passing depends not only on these, but also on whether he wants to attack himself.

Once he switches to the "personal offense" mode, even a strong player like "Anthony Davis" can only stand on the court with his hands on his hips as a spectator.

Although Su Wan's personality is not as flamboyant as he appears, he also hates being controlled by others. ——Being a "social animal" in his previous life was enough, and now he has to rely on others' moods to attack? What's the point of playing basketball!
The key point is, turning on "The zone" mode and devoting all your energy to the defensive end, isn't it a bit of a waste?
Also, he needs to earn more zone points to improve his potential faster.

What data can the defense provide?

Compared to this, fitting in with LeBron's style of play and having a starting position on the Cavaliers is really worthless!
What's more, LeBron James is a "sophisticated egoist". The result of considering him is that he will become the next "Wade". How many players in the NBA have won more championships but their historical rankings have declined?

How could Su Wan, who has awakened the "Deep Blue" and knows LeBron's character, make such a mistake?
His idea is that after improving his physical fitness to a certain level, he will increase his focus and focus on his potential in ball control, breakthroughs, and shooting.

Even though he can't start, he can be the first in the Cavaliers' team and the ball is in his hands. Let's put it this way, it would be best if the head coach could completely stagger his time with LeBron's.

No, that way he won't have any playing time...

As we all know, LeBron James is already an "iron man"!

都说他新秀赛季场均20.9分5.5篮板5.9助攻堪比乔丹，可谁又知道他场均上场时间也高达39.5分钟。相较于他，后来同样比肩乔丹的埃文斯，新秀赛季拿下场均20加5加5，每场比赛比他少打了2分30秒。

If you don’t have the ability, you can make up for it with time.

This is LeBron James' "Basketball Way".

However, because of this, the playing time of many of the Cavaliers' outside players has been compressed.

This is also one of the reasons why the rookie teammates around LeBron could not play well during the 1.0 version of LeBron.

Then try to stagger the playing time as much as possible.

Brandon Malone also came early today. When he saw Suwan "grunting" and honing his body in the training room, his eyes were surprised and happy.

Such outstanding abilities and such a positive attitude!
If he doesn't succeed, who will succeed?
