The league's team strength rankings for the 2008/09 season were released, and Sports Illustrated and NESP ranked the Celtics first.
The Big Three of the Green Army have been working together for a year, and they have found a position that they like and are comfortable with.
The biggest flaw is point guard Rondo. There is little salary space in the transfer market, but there are sycamore trees. Don’t worry if you can’t seduce Phoenix. If there are no Phoenix, there are always one or two young Phoenix!
It really doesn't work, I have no money, no space, and I don't know how to talk about emotions, but it doesn't hurt money anyway.
Don’t even say it, it’s really happened.
This prompted the lone wolf Marbury's contract to be sold out by the Knicks in advance. Unlike Su Bei's previous life, he only joined the Celtics halfway through the season.
Marbury has a mid-level salary of about 2.5 million. The effect cannot be said to be similar to that of Cousins in the future 2018/19 season when he refused a 20 million-year contract and chose a 5 million contract to join the Warriors. Exactly the same.
In other words, the world can declare that the suspense of the championship is over, and it can even directly award the Warriors an award.
Although Marbury has fallen behind a bit in recent years, he had the worst performance of his career in the 2007/08 season, averaging only 14 points and 4.7 assists per game.
However, Marbury, who was born in 1977, is only 31 years old. At his peak, he was a star who could score 23 points and 9 assists. He was the fourth pick of the 1996 golden generation and averaged 19 points and 7.5 assists per game in his career. He joined the Celtics. , no matter how you look at it, it is one of the four giants that is rounded off.
Cassell's retirement, Posey and P.J. Brown's departure, and the joining of Marbury seem to be irrelevant.
The warm-up match was in average shape, but he still managed a performance of 6 wins and 1 loss, and deservedly ranked first in the league.
Second place was not given to the Lakers, but to the Rockets.
Don't ask, just ask that Artest's joining rounded up the Rockets and formed the four giants of Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Battier and Artest.
In addition, Adelman's amazing performance of 22 consecutive victories in his first season as head coach. Now that the Princeton system has been running in for a year, as long as there are no more major injuries, the Rockets' lineup of the four giants will still be a champion. posture.
He also performed well in the warm-up match, with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, so there is nothing wrong with ranking second.
The Lakers are ranked third. The defending champion's reputation, coupled with the comebacks of Bynum and Ariza, even though Turiaf is gone, in all fairness, ranking the Lakers first in the league is a very correct prediction.
However, in the warm-up match, the Lakers' record of 3 wins and 4 losses was deducted from the top score, which can only be said to be second place.
The fourth place went to the Bobcats. Last season, Paul's team had a chance to qualify for the Eastern Conference Finals. This season, they hired championship coach Larry Brown. Their biggest shortcomings were strengthened, and they also signed Bobcats, who has experience in the finals. Xi, it is inevitable to be favored.
The fifth place is the Cavaliers. James is too incomprehensible, and they have found the best partner in Mo Williams. No matter how you look at it, reputation is stronger than strength... No, it is better to have both. You need both. .
The league is looking forward to the two fronts now and in the future, and the peak showdown in the finals.
Ranked 6-10 are the Mavericks, Magic, Spurs, Pistons and Suns respectively.
At the same time, the regular season performance of the new season has also been officially released.
The opening game of the 2008/09 regular season started on October 28.
Naturally, the three sets of duels will feature the incomparably popular and unparalleled Lakers.
The opponent is the Blazers, who are young and invincible and full of talent.
One represents the present and the other represents the future. For such a battle, the alliance still puts a lot of thought into it.
At the end of October, after the opening game, the Lakers will play back-to-back games on the 29th. The season is tight.
Fortunately, they are all at home, and the opponent in the second game is the Clippers from the same city, so the schedule is fairly easy.
The November schedule is the devil.
However, since the Lakers, as the defending champions, are the devil themselves and are the ones being challenged, it really doesn't matter what the schedule is. After all, the strength is there.
If you don’t believe it, take a look at the 15-man roster of the Lakers in the 2008/09 season. Rounding off, they are also a team with the appearance of a championship among the Big Four.
Point guard: Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar, Sun Yue.
Shooting Guards: Kobe Bryant, Sasha Vujacic.
Small forward: Su Bei, Ariza, Luke Walton.
Power forward: Gasol, Odom, Vladimir Radmanovic, Josh Powell.
Center: Bynum, DJ Mbenga, Chris Mihm.
Before the game, Su Bei got the list of players who were likely to play against each other. He just glanced at it and put it down.
In the past, Su Bei studied its opponents, but now it is very likely that it will be studied by its opponents.
As the biggest imaginary enemy in the league's championship competition, this awareness still needs to be there.
"My opponent should be Rudy Gayin.
Because of the butterfly effect, Paul went to the Bobcats, and Luo Yin also chose to go to the Bobcats in 2006.
The Trail Blazers had no choice but to draft Rudy Gayin.
Luo Yin and Gai Yin are both Yin brothers, and their strength cannot be underestimated..."
Being able to capture opponents so accurately is mainly due to injuries to the Trail Blazers. In the 2005 draft, the Trail Blazers selected high school swingman Martell Ruoxi with the 6th overall pick.
…No, it was Martell Webster who suffered a serious injury at the end of the 2007/08 season and was immediately reimbursed for the season.
This is one of the reasons why the Trail Blazers drafted Nicklas Batum.
Speaking of Batum, my opponent will most likely be this person.
"A third-year rookie, a first-year rookie, and I'm still studying a ghost.
Don’t blame me for being too frank, but the people here are not garbage, I should be able to clean it up..."
You said Rudy Gayin averaged 20 points and 6 rebounds per game last season?
Oh, that way I won't be sleepy.
That is indeed worth studying.
His name is also Brother Ky. He has the physical talent to be a superstar and has the potential to become Kobe and Tracy McGrady. However, he has a lazy personality and seems a little unmotivated on the court from time to time. What should I say?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Some talkative guys have transformed and play health basketball?
It's more like Ying Guodala, who occasionally pretends to be dead and is very tough at critical moments. However, he doesn't have many opportunities to perform in big scenes.
After reading Brother Ji's information, Su Bei felt confident about this talented player.
…
October 28, Luosha Yang.
Night falls.
At this time, the opening game of the 2008/09 season was being held at the Staples Center Arena, with crowds of people and bright lights.
Inside the arena, there are many stars gathered. It is indeed a team with Hollywood elements. Each fan watching the game is more famous than the other.
During the warm-up, there was no talk of a few cents a day.
A championship diamond ring costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is it worth talking to you about a few cents?
To be honest, the Trail Blazers really don't deserve it.
Since the beginning of the 2004/05 season, the Trail Blazers have been in trouble. Although they are full of talent, there are really no players who can use their hands to show off and chat with others.
Even if there is no butterfly effect and Luo Yin is still in the formation, there is nothing to talk about.
Now there is a more important ceremony to award the championship rings, so naturally there is no need to even say hello.
Lakers owner Buss and general manager Mickey are awarding championship rings to the Lakers players who have formed their formation.
Kobe got his fourth.
Coach Jackson was even more excited. Finally, all 10 fingers on both hands were full.
Su Bei got three, but there was nothing he could do. He had only been in the league for three years, so he would be damned if he got too many.
In contrast, except for Lao Yu who took four, everyone else only got the first one in their career.
When shown to the audience, waves of applause and cheers responded, showing warmth and emotion.
On the other side of the tunnel, the Blazers who were watching the ceremony were also applauding, with no concealment of envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces and eyes.
Of course, the fire of war also ignites in the chest.
The principles are the same at all times and in all countries: I saw him building a tall building, I saw him entertaining guests, I saw his building collapse!
At this time, the big screen in the arena also showed the @ lineups of both sides tonight.
Lakers @ five people, Bynum, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
This game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT. Barkley and Kenny Smith were paired as commentators. In addition, Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was invited as a guest to form the three commentators.
"The Trail Blazers are full of talent and have great promise and potential.
Oden, the No. 1 pick in 2007 last season, has not yet suited up for the NBA. With the quasi-All-Star performance of Aldridge, the No. 2 pick in 2006, and Gayon, the No. 5 pick in 2006, this young Trail Blazers team can
Achieved a record of 41 wins, 41 losses and 50 draws.
Although the competition for tickets to the Western Conference playoffs last season was very involved, it would be embarrassing to be in the top eight if I didn't win 50 games.
However, if this Trail Blazers team is placed in the Eastern Division, it is very likely that it will be a top four-level team.
As long as Oden performs at the level of a No. 1 pick and doesn't suffer from injuries, the Trail Blazers have the potential to compete for the championship. The Big Three of Oden, Aldridge and Guyon will determine the success or failure of the Trail Blazers this season."
"Indeed, Oden's talent is worth looking forward to.
Oden aside, this Trail Blazers team also has a very bad eye for drafting, and almost all of its rookie players have been successful.
What is lacking now is only growth and experience. In addition, in addition to the Big Three determining success or failure, the backcourt is a hidden danger. Neither Blake nor Fernandez is talented enough.
If the Trail Blazers can solve the hidden dangers and sign one or two All-Star level backcourts from the free market, there will be no problem competing with championship-level teams like the Lakers."
"The Lakers have nothing to say now. They were so unlucky last season and suffered from injuries one after another, but they were able to defeat the Celtics' Big Three lineup and win the championship.
It is very possible to win or lose this game, it just depends on how seriously they take the game.
As for the winning percentage of both sides, I think it is 70% to 30%, the Lakers are 70%, and the Trail Blazers are only 30%..."
The game has begun.
Beep——!
The referee threw the basketball high in the air, and Bynum defeated Oden and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
"Fisher controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Kobe.
The Lakers' triangle offensive tactics are running, with Gasol and Bynum moving and changing positions.
Gasol came to the right, Kobe passed the ball to Su Bei, and when Fisher cut into the basket, Su Bei passed the basketball to Gasol.
The Lakers' triangle offense was very smooth. Fisher cut inside and took advantage of the screen. After failing to get rid of Blake, he pulled to the right three-point corner.
It was Su Bei's turn to cut inside, Gasol passed the ball to Su Bei... No, a feint shot, Gasol turned around and did it himself, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper from close range..."
Oden was played by Gasol. He felt that his hands and feet were tied and his head was still dizzy. He could only instinctively stretch out his hand to interfere with the shot.
Bang-dang——!
"Gasol's hands were a bit raw and he missed the shot from close range.
Fortunately, Su Bei took off the rebound. Although he failed to catch the basketball with his inward cut, he reached the basket.
The ball was caught by Gai Yin, and Su Bei feinted a shot and passed the basketball to Fisher, who rushed in to hit the Trail Blazers' backdoor. Under the interference of Oden's block, Fisher's close shot missed.
It was Su Bei who grabbed the rebound again, immediately passed the ball to Gasol, chose to go up to the man, shouldered Oden's block, and threw the basketball towards the basket..."
Beep——!
Swish——!
When the whistle sounded, the basketball also hit the net. Gasol hit Oden and scored 2 1!
"Su Bei's explosive power and jumping ability are not bad. He grabbed offensive rebounds in front of Gai Yin twice, and he was also able to pass the basketball well in the crowded inside. He performed amazingly at the beginning.
Of course, the Lakers' mobile offense and triangle attack tactics under the basket are also very clever. Coach Jackson's tactics are very effective in protecting the rebounds.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In other words, Oden's problem of fouling and suitability for the NBA seems to have not been effectively solved yet.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as a center, what do you think?"
"Do you think this is possible? Oden's talent is too strong and his reaction is too sensitive, so he committed a foul.
In my opinion, there is still a problem of lack of excellent center coaches to guide the game. Although Oden suffered a foul, his defensive skills were fully reflected in this start.
The Lakers hit the basket three times in a row before scoring the basketball. This is not a problem with Oden, but a problem with the Trail Blazers' entire team's defensive tactics.
If all defensive problems are left to Oden to solve, then pretend I didn’t say it.”
"Indeed, the Trail Blazers have saved themselves a lot of trouble. Among the five tigers, only Oden is reliable defensively.
Of course, the reason why the Trail Blazers selected Oden with the No. 1 pick was because they wanted Oden to support the Trail Blazers' defensive system.
However, if the problem of defensive rim protection is directly passed on to Oden, a rookie, the number of fouls per game will not be less.
I remember last season, Oden averaged 4 fouls per game. Last season, Oden averaged 21 minutes per game. How many minutes do you think Oden can play in this game?"
"When you talk about guessing and gambling, I'm not sleepy anymore.
I guess it’s 25 minutes. As the No. 1 draft pick, it’s only a 4-minute improvement from 21 minutes to 25 minutes, so there should be no problem.”
"Indeed, I also guessed this number, 25 minutes, it can't be any less."
"..."
Swish——!
Gasol stood on the free throw line. He had no weakness in his hands and his soft shooting touch gave him a precise mid-range shot. It was really difficult for him to score free throws.
0 to 3!
In the Trail Blazers' offensive round, Breer controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately lobbed the ball to Aldridge.
"Catch the ball, strike a triple-threat stance, pull it up and shoot a fadeaway jumper in front of Gasol..."
Swish——!
Aldridge's mid-range shot returned the favor.
There is nothing to say, just an unreasonable jump shot, a misplaced jump shot using physical talent.
Gasol is not at a disadvantage due to his height, but there is nothing he can do in the face of this style of betting that his shooting pistol has bullets.
You can't drag your 2.13 meter body to defend when you're shooting from the air, right?
Off the court, Jackson's face was calm and he had no objection to Gasol's defense.
The essence of the Lakers' defense is to shrink inside and use their height, arm length and mobility to force their opponents to shoot away from the basket.
Aldridge's mid-range two-pointer is nothing more than a matter of letting the bullet fly a little longer.
"On the court, the Lakers still use team tactics in their offensive rounds, and the ones targeted are the Trail Blazers' inside line.
This clearly shows the two rookie insiders bullying the Trail Blazers.
Su Bei received the ball, and while Fisher was inside, he passed the ball to Gasol.
Another false shot. This time, Oden had predicted it and didn't let Gasol make it.
Su Bei continued to play, and then cut inside. Gasol screened Su Bei and blocked Gai Yin. This time there was no wave, and he passed the ball to Su Bei hand in hand.
After receiving the ball, Su Bei met Oden in a mismatch and did not retreat. He chose to dribble the ball forward to meet the man. Oden fought and retreated..."
Swish——!
Su Bei didn't tolerate him, so he attacked from close range and scored the basketball, opening up his personal scoring account.
2 to 5!
"Oden hesitated defensively and committed a foul less than 1 minute into the game.
This time Su Bei clearly came here with the intention of touching the porcelain. If he gets fouled again, it is very likely that he will have to take a rest after the first 2 points..."
Not a possibility, but a certainty.
If Oden's problem with fouling is not solved, the Lakers will target the Trail Blazers' unreliable inside problem.
Oden will always be injured. Who makes his defensive strength stronger than his offensive strength?
And Aldridge's offensive strength is stronger than his defensive strength, so he can play like his idol Garnett.
If the two of them work together on the inside, if you don't stand guard, who will?
Oden can only go to the basket and be a blue collar, do the dirty work, fight against people, but defend.
What else do you want to do with an inside partner who is destined to be Chufeng defensively?
The rim defense was too deep for him to control on his own, so he had to take a look first.
Bang-dang——!
Blake's passing organization is too taken for granted. If Aldridge can score the first goal, maybe the second goal will be no problem?
As a result, Aldridge was weak and missed his second mid-range shot.
"The Trail Blazers rely too much on the individual performance of their stars.
There is no reliable offensive system. Whether it is offense or defense, you need talent to solve all problems.
The Trail Blazers head coach's coaching skills are still lacking.
Kobe rushed to the basket and picked off the rebound, and he counterattacked with the ball.
Passing Fernandez, he continued to break through to the basket. After attracting the defense, he threw the basketball into the sky. Gasol rushed up, using his long legs, keeping up with Kobe's offensive speed, and jumped up from the basket...
…”
Bang-dang——!
In alley-oops and dunks with both hands, Gasol's entire body hung on the basket.
2 to 7!
Kesao connected and counterattacked with two points.
In the beginning, both sides worked hard on their inside skills, and Su Bei had no choice but to play the soy sauce.
“In just a few minutes after the game started, I could see the gap between reality and the future. It was not just a billion points difference.
The Lakers have talent and a triangle offensive tactical system. If the Trail Blazers only have talent, it will not be enough to attack a Lakers team like this.
Unless, when the Lakers have no talent, only the tactical system is left.
But, how many years will it take to wait, three years, or another three years?
The only advantage of the Trail Blazers is that they have young capital. When the Lakers' talent naturally ages, can they win without a fight or win without a win?
But, how many three years are there in life?
The Trail Blazers are still too young and have to work hard to develop their internal skills."
