To be honest, forget about Wang Zelin and Howard. If neither of them is selected, that will be the real big event. But the selection of Marc Gasol and Cousins ​​really caused a lot of controversy at first. However, since this voting was based on a real-name system, it was relatively fair and open. Indeed, they received votes second only to Wang Zelin and Howard.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not too surprising that the two of them were selected.

Marc Gasol was able to get so many votes, on the one hand, because he has enough personal data, and on the other hand, the Grizzlies have been notoriously tough in the Western Conference in recent years. No one wants to meet them in the playoffs. .

This is a matter of personal team control.

As for Cousins, first of all, it definitely has nothing to do with the team's record. After all, the Kings were notoriously weak in the past few years. The reason why he was selected was entirely due to his strong personal strength.

According to statistics, among the current players who are serious about playing center, apart from Wang Zelin, Cousins ​​is the only one who averages 20+10 per game.

Although the team is indeed a bit bad, but where is the individual's immediate combat ability? At the current center position, no one except Wang Zelin can really beat Cousins.

If you consider it from the perspective of immediate combat effectiveness, Cousins ​​​​is even chasing Wang Zelin.

Of course, it is not ruled out that after Cousins ​​joined the Cavaliers to assist James, his exposure among the fan base has been greatly improved.

In terms of traffic, James is one of the few among fans and major media.

After riding the coattails of the Cavaliers and James, more and more people have gradually recognized Cousins' strength. This is actually the same as Kevin Love's energy after joining the Cavaliers in history.

From the cancer of a bad team and a data brush, he has become a championship puzzle piece and a somewhat capable... data brush.

Of course, judging from the current reaction of the majority of fans, the selection of the so-called new four centers is more of a joy to watch, and not many people take it seriously.

Don’t forget, wherever there is new, there will naturally be old.

Compared with the old version of the four major centers, the new version of the four major centers now selected seems not to be of sufficient quality, and the 13 grid is not enough.

Just like Jin Yong's martial arts remakes in the future, each version is more exciting than the last version, and each version is more eye-catching than the last version.

Sometimes he even doubts that the so-called classic film and television drama is not the new version of Tai La. With such a comparison and foil, the old version has been consigned to the altar.

Among the four, Wang Zelin is the only one who can compete with any of the four major centers in the 1990s. Even in terms of honors, except for Olajuwon and O'Neal who can beat him, the remaining David Robinson and Ewing...

When it comes to David Robinson, it can be said that the two are neck and neck. When it comes to Ewing, Youyin is really not good enough.

Whether in terms of personal honors or team honors, Wang Zelin has surpassed Ewing. Among the new 50 superstars selected by the authoritative American basketball magazine "Slam" in 2014, No. 1 Michael Jordan is the least controversial.

Among active players, the top ones are LeBron James, Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant, ranking 7th, 8th and 10th respectively.

Among this list, the biggest one is naturally Wang Zelin, who ranks 31st and second only to Kevin Garnett, who is 30th. And behind him is the "Gorilla" who was once one of the top four centers. "Patrick Ewing.

There was controversy, but at the time it was still hotly debated, which also represented the outside world's recognition of Wang Zelin's historical status.

The original words of "Slam" magazine editor-in-chief Ben Osborne when explaining the interview: Ewing has strength and skills. In this era, he will undoubtedly become one of the best big men, but , counting the championship + championship mvp + regular season mvp, it is enough for us to rank Wang ahead of him.

As soon as these words came out, many fans who were too old-minded but not too rich didn't know how to argue.

Indeed, among the four major centers, Ewing is the most embarrassed. The other three have everything they want, but he has nothing.

Especially after retiring, when people recall the glory of the four major centers competing on the same stage, Ewing was often singled out and criticized because he had no championship and no regular season MVP.

Not long after Ben Osborne was interviewed, when reporters approached Garnett and asked about his historical status being higher than Wang Zelin, Garnett simply said:

"Wang's historical status is lower than mine? Man, don't be kidding. He is the best big man I have ever seen in my career. How could he...what? You said that his rookie contract has not been completed yet, so that's okay!"

In the end, Garnett patted his chest and said that at most, after this season, Wang Zelin's historical status will definitely surpass his own and will reach the top 30...

Of course, Garnett's interview was definitely exaggerated. He said he was "the best big man I have ever seen in my life." O'Neal and Duncan were the first to express dissatisfaction.

But when people think of Garnett's last sentence, "The rookie contract hasn't been finished yet," everyone has to admit that the future belongs to young people.

Therefore, Wang Zelin was promoted to one of the four centers, and the outside world unanimously recognized it. But the last three are really crotch-stretching.

If Howard was in his prime, there would certainly be nothing wrong with being selected, but now that he is half disabled, he is considered a 0.5 in front of him.

The last Marc Gasol and Cousins, to be honest, are only at All-Star level now. Which of the four major centers back then was not a superstar in the league? Just compare it to those historical greats, no one will take them seriously.

Looking at it this way, the so-called new top four centers are, to put it bluntly, only 1.5!





Under the spotlight, at the home court of the Detroit Pistons, Wang Zelin and Drummond, who are competing for the new top four centers, began a...not to say intense, but even one-sided dialogue.

There is nothing we can do about it.

The Portland Trail Blazers currently lead the pack with a record of 20 wins and 0 losses. In terms of record, they are the number one leader.

The Detroit Pistons, on the opposite side, had a previous record of 3 wins and 18 losses. Even in the Eastern Conference, where the West is strong and the East is weak, they are a group that is difficult to mix with.

With such a disparity in record between the two sides, it is completely impossible for the Pistons to upset the Trail Blazers.

The powerful dialogue between the so-called "new four centers" that was so loudly trumpeted before the game, after one night, can be said to be an anticlimax.

If it weren't for Drummond's personal data, a double-double of 10 points and 14 rebounds, the audience and media gods on the sidelines would have shouted "Geneva, refund your money"!

At 106:92, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Pistons in the away game, improving their record to 21 wins and 0 losses, and their winning streak continued.
