His aggressive offense was rooted in his talent, the way he played.
Advising Derek Rose to change his playing style was as absurd as asking LeBron to play real basketball.
At this ti, the League announced this season’s Best Lineups:
"First Team: Su Wan, Derek Rose, Kevin Durant, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard;"
"Second Team: Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Carlo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler;"
"Third Team: Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Zach Randolph, Paul Gasol, Amare Stoudemire;"
Kobe’s fall from the "First Team" was expected by the dia, and it was also anticipated by Su Wan.
The clamor for Derek Rose as the regular season MVP was too strong.
There was no way he’d fall out of the First Team.
And Su Wan, needless to say, was the "hotshot"—even without the title, an average of 36.5 points per ga was more than enough to earn him the "Scoring King" over Kobe.
The surprising na on the "First Team" was Chris Bosh!
But upon further thought, it wasn’t so surprising...
As the team with the best record in the League, the Heat deserved a "First Team" player.
Wade couldn’t compete with Su Wan and Rose; as for LeBron, it would be a mockery to put a "Best Sixth Man" in the "First Team," especially since he wasn’t qualified to begin with.
So, the spot went to Chris Bosh.
His average of 23.4 points and 11.6 rebounds per ga wasn’t far off from other forwards.
Together with the Heat’s league ranking, his seat was well-earned.
Co to think of it...
This season, Chris Bosh was the only "All-Star starter" for the Heat, and now, he’s their only "First Team" player.
Impressive...
With LeBron suppressed by Su Wan, this guy beca the Heat’s leader!
But, Chris Bosh was definitely qualified to be the "leader." Once LeBron had dashed back to the Cavaliers after a simple text ssage, the Heat, led by Bosh and an aging Wade, fought their way through the Eastern Conference.
At first, the team did quite well, and if not for the sudden discovery of blood clots, the Heat wouldn’t have imdiately gone into rebuilding.
Rember, this was the Chris Bosh who lost four peak years to LeBron, yet still managed to lead the team. Now, with the tactical system favoring him and a peak Wade as his partner, taking over as the team "leader" was no pressure at all.
Wade didn’t sacrifice either.
Because of Su Wan’s sudden rise, his spot on the "First Team" had long been unattainable.
He consistently secured his "Second Team" position.
LeBron was the only one among the Heat’s "Three Giants" to make a significant sacrifice.
And that’s the natural order of things.
Why should you, soone who joined, expect the team’s original core and those who were there before to give up their spots for you?
Just because you’re the "Chosen One"?
Su Wan would call this "setting things right," restoring order to Miami.
LeBron, just wait, your good days are yet to co!
Also, Tyson Chandler managed to claim the "Second Team" center position.
This had a lot to do with the decline of the center position.
But it also had much to do with Tyson being in New York, not Dallas.
Originally, the Mavericks were the champions this season, and Dirk had his "Divine Enthronent" year. But why did he have such a year this season?
The reason is simple...
Tyson Chandler was also in his peak form this season.
It was he who took care of the defense, allowing Dirk to fully focus on the offense, leading to Nowitzki’s rampage through the Western playoffs.
And when Dirk had to face a forward on his own, his performance imdiately declined.
This was evident when he faced the Heat in the finals and their long-range big n.
He was indeed sick and needed to commit more in defense, affecting his offensive performance.
This season’s Tyson Chandler definitely played at a "Best Defensive Player of the Year" level.
It’s just that the Dallas dia didn’t promote him, so all the spotlight was on Nowitzki.
But in New York it was different, the dia was there to support him, and his glory was witnessed by all dia, allowing him to overtake Little Si as the "Second Team" center.
Even before joining the New York Knicks this season, Tyson hadn’t made an appearance in the "Best Defensive Lineup."
Barkley said, "Another big man has beco a higher-caliber player alongside Su Wan!"
Previously it was the young O’Neal, Zach Randolph.
As for players like Foster, although they didn’t gain honor, their salaries certainly increased.
The new face on the list was Russell Westbrook.
This season, averaging 21.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per ga, his shooting percentage also improved—a high 44.2%!
Su Wan always had a soft spot for the "Tang Suit Turtle."
And his consecutive seasons’ average triple-doubles, which made LeBron’s often-ntioned stats look like a joke, was one of the reasons Su Wan liked him.
