Chapter 463: Opener: Nuggets vs. Pacers

　　 The Heat will also do reinforcements this year.
　　 Eddie Jones and AC Green, who signed free agents, are both old Lakers.
　　 Eddie Jones is an All-Star guard who was squeezed out by Kobe.
　　 AC-Green is known as an iron man. He has played 1192 consecutive games and is the player with the most consecutive appearances in NBA history.
　　 The Heat maintained their No. 1 lineup in the Eastern Conference last year. Under such circumstances, joining the two will naturally make the Heat a strong contender for the championship.
　　 Of course, in view of the Heat's performance in the past two seasons, many media people are not optimistic about their performance in the playoffs.
　　...
　　Other Eastern teams:
　　 The Knicks left Ewing on a large contract and signed a free agent, Lakers top three head Glenn Rice.
　　 In this way, the Knicks formed a three-shot combination, "Latril-Sprewell + Alan-Houston + Glenn Rice".
　　 Celtics head coach Rick Pitino left get out of class. Like Jim Burheim, he joined the NBA in the summer of 1997. The Celtics are also continuing to rebuild.
　　 The Pistons have been unable to achieve results. In the summer, they had to send Grant Hill away and signed Joe Smith, the 95th overall, the protagonist of the Timberwolves incident. This is to break the reconstruction.
　　...
　　Western:
The Lakers left Glen Rice and AC Green, but it was Isiah Ryder who signed the Eagles and left free agent, and free agent Horez Grant. This is the Bulls' first three-game winning streak. Big man in the crown period.
　　 The Kings signed free agent Doug Christie, the original Raptors' starting shooting guard.
　　 The Mavericks failed to introduce Li Nan. They returned without success in the free agent market, but there was a disagreement from the inside. It is rumored that Michael Finley intends to leave!
　　 Of course, the Mavericks have also changed. They introduced assistant Bubvić.
　　 It's just that it's still unknown whether the TSM combination can show offensive prowess like the previous years.

　　 Also on October 30, the day before the start of the regular season, ESPN announced the NBA power list:

　　 6, Portland Trail Blazers
　　7, Utah Jazz
　　 8. Sacramento Kings
　　9, Orlando Magic
　　10, Dallas Mavericks
　　...
　　28, Los Angeles Clippers
　　29, Chicago Bulls
　　……
　　 The first announcement of the battle strength list naturally caused much discussion.
　　 However, the topic that everyone pays more attention to is tomorrow's opener.
　　 The opening game, the NBA official arrangement turned out to be: Nuggets VS Pacers!
　　 You need to know that this schedule was announced in the summer.
　　 At that time, people in the media couldn't understand it. It wasn't until late October that everyone realized what Li Nan joined the Nuggets.
　　 So many people started to think about it.
　　 "It turns out that the NBA has long known where Li is going!"
　　 "Do Lee and Stern have any kind of ‘illegitimate child’ relationship?"
　　 "Will the Nuggets be the next team to be taken care of again?"
　　 "David Stern, is this to train Lee to become the next superstar?"
　　 The public is thinking about it, but the experts stepped up to analyze the wave at this time.
　　 Michael Wilbur, sports columnist for the Washington Post:
　　 "The Pacers will hit the Nuggets head-on at home."
"In my opinion, last season, Lee joined the Pacers in fact to pick up the bargain. Before Li arrived last season, the Pacers' performance was actually very good. They had already reached the first place in the East. Even the first place in the league. The combination of Reggie and Jaylen can lead the Pacers to the finals and even win the championship!
　　 The current Pacers have supplemented the more dynamic insider Jermaine O'Neal, who are absolutely unmatched this season.
　　 The previous few games of the Nuggets were really messed up. There is no doubt about Lee's personal ability, but it is not a matter of a while for one to change a team. The Nuggets may get better in the future, but now they are not opponents of the Pacers. The ESPN experts ranked the Nuggets in the fourth power list, which is obviously overestimated. "
　　......
　　 Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune:
　　 "The defending champion will definitely ravage his opponent!"
"The Pacers did a great job this summer. They renewed their head coach Larry Bird and brought in Smiling Assassins as assistants. They brought back Jay, and they also brought back the talented big man of the 96th. Maine. This lineup is no worse than when they won the championship last season. I even think they are stronger.
The Denver Nuggets have brought in a lot of people, but Patrick is 38 years old and he can’t be asked to do more. Ben Wallace is defensive well, but he has his own Achilles’ heel. The other players on the Nuggets are all strong. general. Their old coach Jim Burheim is only suitable for leading college teams. Look, the Celtics' Rick Pitino has been driven. Jim should be about to leave, you are really not suitable for the NBA.
　　 Li's personal strength is really strong. He is currently the strongest successor to Jordan and has the strength to compete for the MVP of the league. However, his vision of choosing the team is really bad. Lee's choice of Denver was a huge mistake. Denver is not for him at all. He should come to Chicago and come to the Bulls. He should follow in Michael's footsteps and lead the Bulls back to glory. "
　　 "The Sun" sports reporter Lacey Banks:
　　 "Both sides should play very well~EbookFREE.me~ The defending champion Pacers won in the end."
"China Li is the winner of two FMVPs. He is the most like Michael Jordan in the league now. He has the strength to influence the game on the court. However, the Nuggets have replaced several main players and the players' strengths are uneven. The tacit understanding of cooperation is still much worse, and the team's running-in is not enough.
The defending champion Pacers are much hotter than the Nuggets. Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson, Rick Schmitz, Best, Crosier... They are all outstanding players who have experienced championship baptism. In this opening game, they will definitely teach the young Nuggets a lesson. "
　　 "Herald" sports commentator Kent McDill:
　　 "The two sides fought hard to separate, and finally Li stood up and made a final decision!"
"In the entire playoffs of the Pacers last season, everyone saw the Pacers' difference. And this difference was brought about by Li. It was Lee's appearance that the Pacers' double-run tactics reached the extreme. It was Li's individual singles that enriched the Pacers' style of play, and it was Li's sudden points that made the Pacers out of danger again and again. When the Pacers were in desperate situation, when no one could enter, who stood up to save the Pacers Yes, it’s Lee! As long as Lee is there, the game is completely different! Although the Nuggets in the preseason did not perform as expected, although the Pacers’ lineup is very good, I still believe that Lee can change the game. result."
