The New York Knicks just swept the Magic Team, easily moving on to the next round.
The New York dia imdiately delivered custom data, "Since the League changed the first round to a best-of-seven series, Su Wan is the first player to lead the New York Knicks to a sweep in the first round!"
Sounds pretty cool.
But in fact...
Since the 2002 playoffs began, when the League switched to a best-of-seven series, the New York Knicks have only made it to the first round of the playoffs once, and they lost at that ti.
So sotis, data can’t withstand scrutiny.
Just like how LeBron later voiced his outrage on Twitter for a Black man who was shot by police, making it seem as if the police had committed so heinous cri.
But in reality, the black man who was shot had committed burglary and stolen a car and was brandishing a controlled knife in front of the cops. It was completely justifiable for the police to have shot him.
In summary, LeBron, as a person, like his stats, can’t withstand scrutiny.
But such questionable stats can often have a bigger impact.
Just like now, when the New York dia says Su Wan led his team to sweep the Magic Team, and that Su Wan is the first player in New York history to lead a team to a sweep under the best-of-seven first-round playoff system.
Which expression sounds more impressive?
And for the passerby who doesn’t click on the news article and only sees the headline, which title leaves a more lasting impression?
This is the charm of custom data.
People always rember the "first" more profoundly.
But Barkley uncovered a set of more convincing data, "In his 7-year career playoffs first round, Su Wan has yet to lose even a single ga."
This has a lot to do with his teams largely being the stronger "top-tier horses."
To date, Su Wan’s teams have only been "bottom-tier" once, and in that year they managed an upset over the Cavaliers...
It was a sweep too!
"Su Wan never slips up against weaker teams, and often creates miracles when facing teams that seem stronger on paper!"
On the contrary...
"So people’s teams are always touted by the dia as the most likely championship contenders at the start of the season, but as the season progresses, they often fail to live up to those lofty expectations."
"This, too, is a reflection of dominance!"
The next day, the Heat Team also broke through from the first round, they too swept their opponents 4-0, and now they’re waiting for the Celtics and the Pacers to decide the ultimate winner to beco their second-round opponent.
While they waited, Su Wan and the Knicks’ second-round opponent was confird:
Derek Rose and the Chicago Bulls.
Under intense hype from the Chicago dia, the debate over whether Su Wan or Rose deserved this year’s regular season MVP had reached a fever pitch.
The two n, one a "Super Nova" who has made significant strides compared to his second professional season and whose team at one point led the entire League in terms of record; and the other, a "League Face" who arrived in the "Big Apple City" as a "Savior," pulling the city out of a morass.
It can be said unequivocally...
If the League had to pick a few "Challengers" for Su Wan right now.
One of them would certainly be Derek Rose!
That’s the level he’s reached this season.
And now, with two powerhouses eting in the semi-finals, the season-long argunt has escalated to the atmosphere of a "great showdown."
In truth, the dia voting has already ended, and no matter the outco of this series, the final regular season MVP pick won’t change. But to build up the atmosphere, the dia is happy to keep stirring the pot on this topic.
Before the series officially began, the New York dia asked Derek an interesting question, "As one of the rookies Su Wan personally predicted could win the regular season MVP, does this serve as extra motivation, and have any factors driven you to your current heights because of Su Wan’s comnts?"
Derek Rose said, "There are many things that drive forward, I can’t deny that, but more so, it’s for this city, for my family, for myself. These are the more important factors!"
For the New York dia, this was enough!
That afternoon, they started calling Derek Rose "Su Wan’s disciple."
The Chicago dia wasn’t happy, but since Derek had made the comnts himself, they could only sarcastically remark, "New Yorkers can start praying now because if Su Wan loses to his own disciple, that wouldn’t be sothing to be proud of!"
The New York dia didn’t care about the nonsense the Chicago dia spouted. To drive the point ho, they asked Su Wan, "Do you have any good advice for your disciple, Derek?"
Su Wan thought for a mont and said, sowhat moved, "He should take care of his knees!"
There are a lot of "what-ifs" in the NBA, and one of those "what-ifs" is... what Derek Rose’s peak would have been like if his knees hadn’t been injured.
Of course, Su Wan is well aware that, without "Black Technology," Derek Rose’s injury was inevitable. His style of play was inherently high-risk, with things like "No Deceleration Change" of direction and "Slam Dunking without hanging on the rim."
Sure, it looks cool, but the impact on the knees is no joke.
But then again...
