The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

This seems to be about boasting his own talent.

But actually, it's saying that Michael Jordan's diligence and hard work are superhuman!

People often only focus on static talent and dynamic talent.

But compared to talents that can be measured by data, there are also hidden talents that are essential for a player to succeed more!

For example, diligence, and attitude!

John Wall doesn't have that kind of talent, so he's destined to be the next "Baron Davis"!

The Knicks won this game easily.

The Wizards are truly a standard rebuilding team!

Besides John Wall, there aren't any players worth mentioning.

Well, actually, even John Wall didn't perform well tonight!

However, this game sparked heated discussions again.

Because...

Su Wan and Stephen Curry hit 9 three-pointers together again tonight!

"This is crazy!"

"Can someone do something about these two!"

"OMG, Su Wan and Stephen Curry are definitely the strongest 'duo' this year!"

Countless media marveled at the hot state of Su Wan and Stephen Curry beyond the three-point line.

Of course, there are still media who believe that their hot state beyond the three-point line won't last.

But the result...

In the third game of the regular season, Su Wan and Stephen Curry hit another 10 three-pointers, and the Knicks defeated the Utah Jazz;

In the fourth game of the regular season, these two hit a total of 8 three-pointers, and the Knicks achieved a "four-game winning streak" at the start!

Until November 20th, in the game against the Nuggets, Su Wan and Stephen Curry finally cooled down a bit beyond the three-point line. But they still managed to hit 6 three-pointers in total.

In the 9 games that have been played this regular season, the New York Knicks have an 8-1 record.

And Su Wan and Stephen Curry, on average, hit 9 three-pointers per game.

Stephen Curry hits 4 three-pointers per game, while Su Wan hits 5!

As of now, their average three-point shooting percentages are 43.5% and 45.5%, with Su Wan having the higher percentage!

Compared to Su Wan's hot state beyond the three-point line, Stephen Curry's average of 4 three-pointers this season has sparked a national debate.

After all, Su Wan has already been the "Scoring King" 4 times.

He's known for excelling both on and off the ball and has honed his mid-range and three-point shooting abilities under everyone's watchful eyes. Su Wan's scoring ability is obvious to all.

On the contrary, Stephen Curry's rapid improvement in three-point shooting this season has surprised the public.

Although everyone knew Stephen Curry was a "three-point shooter," no one expected him to be this dominant this season!

Most media, after their analysis, pointed to one crucial point:

The cylinder rule enforcement!

This makes all league players more restrained on defense to avoid touching the ball-handler's "cylinder" and incurring a foul.

And for a shooter with enough accuracy like Stephen Curry, the best defense is continuous harassment to deny him a shot.

But now, the "cylinder rule" forces defenders to give up some shooting space.

At this point, for a "shooter" like Stephen Curry, it really comes down to how he's feeling.

Su Wan hearing the experts say this, instinctively wanted to refute;

"Stephen Curry has a cylinder?"

He is the player with the least "cylinder" in this league.

But after watching the replay, he found that this time the experts weren't talking nonsense. Stephen Curry indeed had "cylinder" protection now.

This is mainly because the league rule is being enforced in its first year.

It's well known that in the first year of a new league rule, enforcement is at its strictest.

It gradually becomes lax later...

The most typical example is the "5-second back down!"

As long as the frequency isn't high, referees would generally turn a blind eye!

Now they can't tolerate any infractions!

The outside world is gradually reaching consensus on this and formed a prevailing opinion:

The first "beneficiary" after the rule change has appeared!

Stephen Curry!

Su Wan just wants to say: wait a bit, the rule that Stephen Curry benefits most from hasn't come out yet!

Even though it was changed for some others, the biggest beneficiary turned out to be Stephen Curry...

David Stern also noticed this wave of public opinion and immediately showed a "see, I told you" expression!

Ever since the rule was modified particularly for LeBron James, and after Su Wan soloed the game with the "SOMA step," he realized that it was definitely unfeasible.

The ability value of this league is still too high!

And David Stern is very certain, Stephen Curry is definitely not the first "beneficiary" of this rule change!

Sure enough, the Golden State Warriors became the focus of the outside world in the following period.

The "Big Beard Second Generation" who joined the Warriors from Oklahoma this summer instantly became the core player of the Warriors for the new season.

Steve Kerr took a different path and when the news first came out that he was putting him at point guard, it caused quite a stir.

James Harden was the "Best Sixth Man" for the Thunder Team.

There is a big difference between being the core during substitutions and being the core in regular phases, and the media are very curious whether James Harden can handle the sudden increase in ball possession.
