NBA: No. 1 Forward

【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】

The reinforcements and trades of each team in the new season have made the form of the league more confusing.

The media that were very optimistic about the Knicks defending the title now dare not jump to conclusions. Even Knicks fans are panicked when they see various combinations of East and West.

As the start of the new season approaches, ESPN ranks the strength of the championship teams.

East side.

Only the New York Knicks and Miami Heat are currently in the first echelon of the championship.

The second echelon has four teams: Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta Hawks.

The third echelon is: Orlando Magic, Indiana Pacers.

The ranking here in the East is fairly fair, but many fans don't understand that the Orlando Magic are ranked in the third echelon. The Magic at least have Howard, the number one center in the East, and their strength is not only in the third echelon.

In fact, ESPN really did not underestimate the strength of the Orlando Magic.

Especially their head star Howard, after seeing that the team has not carried out effective reinforcement so far, he is very dissatisfied with the team's operation.

According to gossip, Howard is likely to jump out of the player option next season.

This is the current environment. If the team does not have the Big Three, or a dual-core team, you are embarrassed to say that you are a championship team.

But the magic team’s salary space is difficult to move. Some players are basically high salaries and low abilities. The teams in the league are not fools. Who would trade the most cost-effective stars with the Magic team?

In particular, Orlando is a small ball market and cannot stand the toss. Now there is only one way in front of them, and that is reconstruction!

Therefore, it is basically the countdown for Howard to leave the Magic.

Magic—the Whampoa Military Academy of nba super center!

Compared to the east, the west is more like purgatory!

Even ESPN is cautious when ranking. It feels like they are the bosses. Some teams in the East feel that they can kill randomly.

The first echelon espn gives three teams here: Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City Thunder.

The second echelon is also three teams: Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies.

The third echelon is two teams: Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz.

Everyone knows that this season, the most tragic fight will definitely belong to the West.

The three kings of the first echelon, needless to say the first two teams. Mavericks, Yao Ming + Dirk composed of the strongest inside; Clippers, Paul + Anthony + Griffin composed of the Big Three.

The third Thunder shouldn't be underestimated, especially the Thunder's three juniors. They have just passed the baptism of the playoffs in summer, and their strength is even stronger.

And historically, the Thunder also made it to the finals this season.

Even the second-tier team should not be underestimated. Although the Lakers lost the best sixth man Lamar Odom, they have been actively reinforcing.

Although this did not satisfy Kobe, after that, Old Buss talked with Kobe in person. Although he didn't know what he said to Kobe, Kobe didn't express his dissatisfaction afterwards.

And Kobe is healthier than he was in the playoffs against Dallas.

In addition, the Spurs who played the first record in the Western Conference last season, and the Grizzlies who completed the "Black Eight Miracle" and reached the Western Conference semifinals.

As soon as this ranking came out, all the fans had already expected that the situation of the Western Conference team in the new season would be terrible!

…

As soon as the lockout ended, Lian Dao reported to the team, and the team doctor checked and evaluated Lian Dao's physical condition.

After the examination, looking at Lian Dao's report, the team doctor's expression was even more exaggerated than that of Lian Dao's rehabilitation medical team.

At that time, D'Antoni and Downey looked at the team doctor's expression and thought that Lian Dao was reimbursed for the season.

But then, the team doctor gasped and said "impossible" like a demon.

Looking at Lian Dao's health report, the team doctor thought the machine was broken. After testing, he finally believed that Lian Dao's left foot had fully recovered, and the degree of recovery was perfect, as if it had not been injured.

After D'Antoni and Downey knew that Lian Dao had fully recovered and his athletic ability was not affected at all, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were ecstatic.

To know whether the Knicks can successfully defend their title, the key depends on Lian Dao's recovery.

Subsequently, Downey immediately told the boss James Dolan the good news.

In the next few days, the team doctor looked at Lian Dao with green eyes, and often dragged Lian Dao into the medical room for no reason, and the nickname was: follow-up examination.

In fact, this guy is like a pervert, touching and pinching Lian Dao here and there. When Lian Dao saw him recording a large amount of data, Lian Dao knew the purpose of the team doctor.

Fuck, this is another time I think of myself as a guinea pig.

For this reason, Lian Dao directly protested, and Downey also put pressure on the team doctor in order to take care of Lian Dao's emotions after knowing about it.

The team doctor also knew that it would not be so easy for him to inspect Lian Dao so casually in the future.

Therefore, when Lian Dao walked out of the medical room, the team doctor looked at Lian Dao reluctantly, making his hair stand on end.

…

The team's training facilities could be resumed the moment the lockout ended, but since the free market had not yet opened at that time, players who had not completed signing or renewing their contracts still had no way to conduct training camps.

No way, this is the league's **** rules.

So not all players came to the team training hall to resume training like Lian Dao.

Lian Dao didn't see all his teammates this season until after December 8, when the free market started.

Including Jimmy Butler, whom the Knicks had just signed with Chuck Hayes, and Hassan Whiteside, the tallest man with a simple and honest face.

As the boss of the team, Lian Dao organized several gatherings before the start of the new season, mainly to welcome some newly joined teammates, so that the new and old players could integrate as soon as possible.

At the same time, the team has also determined their goals for this season. As the champions of last season, they have only one task this season, and that is: complete the defense!

This task is not easy for the Knicks. First of all, a number of super teams have emerged in the east and west. The Knicks are also surrounded by enemies, such as the Heat in the east, the Mavericks in the west, the Clippers, the Thunder and so on.

Then there is the schedule for this season.

This season started at the end of December and continued until the end of April. Because of the lockout, the game time of the regular season has shrunk by nearly two months, but the number of games has not shrunk much.

The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years! It’s really easy to use. I rely on reading and listening to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here..】

This season, the team needs to play 66 regular season games. Compared with the normal season, only 16 games are missing.

And the sixteen games, in a normal season, are only one month's worth of games.

But now the game time has been reduced by two months, and the number of games has only been reduced by one month. This is equivalent to distributing the extra last month's games evenly throughout the season.

It can only be said that those who can come up with this kind of schedule ~www.mtl.com~ to recover the previous losses are also insane.

Under this kind of schedule, back-to-back games have almost become the norm in the new season, and there will even be back-to-back games, that is, three games are closely next to each other, and the rest of the players may only be played on the plane.

And four games in five days is even more common.

When Lian Dao got the Knicks schedule, he couldn't help but gasped.

Because the Knicks' back-to-back games are as high as 20 games, which accounts for almost 1/3 of the Knicks' games this season.

This is because the Knicks ranked first in the league last season, and a team with a poor regular season record last season, the severity of the situation can be imagined.

A team with a poor record last season may have two back-to-back rounds.

This season, Lian Dao believes that for many teams, it will be a miserable season.

The intensive schedule will greatly increase the risk of player injury.

Although Lian Dao has James' physical skill "injury insulator", but under such a schedule, Lian Dao still dare not be careless.

He doesn't have injury repair fluid now, if he gets injured, everything will be lost.

For professional players, the biggest enemy is not the opponent, but the injury!

Originally, the league was not going to start the preseason game, but in the end it decided to keep the preseason game.

It's just that this year's preseason preparation time is short, so the number of games is also shortened. The Knicks only participated in two games.

In the preseason, neither Lian Dao nor the starting players participated, and the Knicks mainly trained their substitutes and rookies.

But in just two preseason games, the Knicks injured a player before the start of the new season.
