Vol 18 Chapter 1939: Manhole cover

On September 17, Grizzlies Media Day, the league stipulates a 10-day training camp starting on September 21, but any team with its own arena, or a team that can use the arena in advance, is Start the training camp three or four days in advance, creating a two-week training camp time.
The Grizzlies’ training camp started in an orderly manner. As the core lineup has not changed much, the Grizzlies’ basic tactics are still the framework built around Princeton, pick-and-roll tactics, triangle offense, and bombardment tactics.
Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Aldridge are the core team.
The players have changed a lot, but coach Hollins still insisted that there is not much change. The main reason is that he suffered a lot in the past. In the 13-14 season, due to the changes in the player's strength and lineup, he tried to make changes, although later Two years have proved that his change is very good, but at the time, the players played more than 100 games for two consecutive years, and one summer was not enough to rest. They had to change their style of play, which led to the players in the training camp. I was more tired in the preseason, and then suffered extensive injuries in the middle of the season, and then tried to replace Gasol with one-for-two to supplement the inside manpower due to lack of manpower, and finally found that the role of the two players is no match for the small Gasol. A qualified blue-collar power forward...
There are no major changes on the offensive end. David Fizdale, Brian Shaw, and the new kid Kidd are all just responsible for finding ways to better integrate the new players into the team and play in the team. The details are adjusted according to the player's play style changes, strength improvement or decline.
The same is true on the defensive end. Mike Brown joined. The first year is the job of this season to ensure that the team can continue the previous defense.
Relatively speaking, Mike Brown’s task is more difficult than that of an offensive assistant, but he pays an astonishing salary of $5 million a year to an assistant. That’s why Mike Brown has such an ability as a defensive assistant. .
Because the system has not changed much, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Tony Allen, Carter, Aldridge, Yi Jianlian, and Gobert have been in the team’s tactical recovery training for the two consecutive championships. The progress is very smooth.
The roles that Nance Jr., David West, and Jeffrey Green need to play this season are more important. They have more things to do. David West is okay, experienced and knows what to do. The running-in progress of Nance and Jie Michael Green seems to be slow.
The newcomer Brogdon, Jaylen Brown, and Roll Deng, these three, Roll Deng is actually the fastest and rich experience, but the ability is the worst. Brogdon needs to reverse the stickiness. With the ball, Jaylen Brown really looks like he can't do anything right now. He shoots the ball and is too excited to be exploited...
In the second year after winning the championship, their strength will decline. This Sun Ce not only has an understanding of NBA history, but also personally felt it many times. At the very least, their condition this year is much better than the 13-14 season, mainly because he himself is stronger. , So he has the patience and confidence to wait for the team to adjust slowly. He has done it well because of Tony Allen's decline, two rookies have a lot of problems, Jr. Nance and Jie Michael Green have played longer... etc. Impact.
Don’t worry, don’t think about how to change quickly. The lessons of the 13-14 season are the lessons learned. The Lakers in the 01-02 season and the Bulls in the 97-98 season are the teams that are worth learning, although the Western Conference Finals in the 01-02 season Game 6 was controversial, but the Lakers won the other three games. They swept the Trail Blazers in the first round, defeated the Spurs 4-1 in the second round, and swept the Nets 4-0 in the finals, all of which were very dominant. .
During the offseason, Sun Ce didn't touch basketball for the first half month, but he didn't pay attention. He went to understand the regular season process of the first two teams that completed three consecutive championships. On the Lakers side, the 01-02 season was the Lakers. During the three consecutive championships, O'Neal played the least in a season, only played 67 games, O'Neal's playing time also set a career low, the Lakers team's offensive and defensive efficiency also seriously declined in the regular season, most of the time relying on Kobe to support. ；
The Bulls' 97-98 season was even worse. Pippen only played 44 games, Cole only played 50 games, Luke Longley only played 58 games... It was Jordan's support.
But when the two teams arrived in the playoffs, their performance improved significantly, and it can be seen that the Zen Master took the initiative to reduce the number of appearances and playing time when players were at risk of injury during the regular season, and did not pursue how good the record must be.
To ensure that the second half of the regular season can gradually recover and the playoffs can be stable... However, Jordan in the 97-98 season was also very miserable in the playoffs. The teammate who helped Jordan the most in the playoffs that year was Tony Ku Koch, especially in the finals, Pippen was completely unable to guard Hornacek, and was also guarded by Hornacek, a 191 cm player. If it weren't for G6 Jordan's lore to win directly, the Bulls will have a high probability of being defeated. The Jazz made a comeback from 1 to 3 to 2 to 3.
No matter what the situation is when the two teams finally win the championship, the two teams can complete three consecutive championships, maintain the stability of the core lineup, and maintain the stability of the game. This is the key. After all, there is no other team to refer to.
The main reason is that the Grizzlies cannot make drastic changes to the lineup at this time, even if they are willing to come up with a double 3D or Gobert, but which team will be willing to give a good player to help the Grizzlies fight for three consecutive championships ? Unless the three brothers take the initiative to leave, there is no need to trade at all.
Since it has been decided to maintain stability and the team has a clear goal, then even if they stumble, at least the direction is clear, with a clear goal, a clear direction, and the whole thing is going to be dark.
Moreover, their starting lineups have all stayed. The combination of Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge and Gobert, Klay Thompson and Paul George is in the prime of his career. Aldridge is over 30 years old, but his skills are better. The better this summer, Klay Thompson and Paul George also went for a wave after the Olympics. They didn’t relax when preparing for the Olympics. Gobert has made great progress. Watch it when the Olympics meet. Received, rebound protection, card position, close range defense, frame protection... and the ability to eat cakes have also been enhanced a lot. During the chat, Sun Ce learned that Parker and Dior guided Gobert during preparations for the Olympic Games. For a long time, these two brothers are not far from retirement. They are very active in helping the national team to improve, and in disguise, they also helped the Grizzlies.
Day after day of training camp, Sun Ce feels that the training has been quite effective. The two important lineups of last season have been running smoothly. In fact, it is just to regain the sense of cooperation. The starting lineup and running and bombing lineups can be easily retrieved. A sense of cooperation.
The problem that needs to be solved is the increase in the playing time of Jie Michael Green, Nance Jr. and David West. There is also a new rotation that needs to be practiced after the start of the regular season.
As the training camp draws to a close, Brogdon demonstrated the reason why he was the first to "stand out" among the 2016 rookies. He quickly adapted to the NBA three-point line. Of course, it has something to do with summer training. However, when he first started to practice catching and shooting in coordination, Brogdon would still habitually shoot NCAA three-pointers. This is why many top NCAA three-pointers just made inaccurate three-pointers. The reason is that the NCAA three-pointer is not only shorter than the NBA, even shorter than the international three-point distance, and the NCAA top three-pointers may not be able to develop three-pointers in the NBA, long two-pointers and three-pointers are very close, but Once the of basketball, two points are extremely accurate, but three points just can't be developed.
Although his strength is only a good level, Brogdon's ability to adapt to the NBA is indeed stronger, much better than Jaylen Brown, although after receiving a point ball, if there is no shooting opportunity or passing opportunity, Brow Gordon will fall into a sticky state, but at least the advantages are obvious.
Jaylen Brown threw it to Mr. Tony to practice. Mr. Tony has taught Sun Ce, Jimmy Butler, Beverly, Paul George... In this regard, Mr. Tony has a high reputation. Jaylen Brown was The Grizzlies drafted, the most happy thing is to have the opportunity to accept the guidance of Tony teacher.
Even Rolle Deng played a better role than Sun Ce expected. Although Sun Ce has low expectations for Rolle Deng, this low-key rich second-generation veteran, in addition to being very good at treating people and guiding his teammates He also has a hand, he brings new players into the team quickly, not in terms of team cooperation, but refers to the new players themselves to get acquainted with the team's old players faster, this is very important.
In general, the team is moving in a good direction.
However, Sun Ce found that like double 3D, Yi Jianlian, Teacher Tony, the four teammates who have played together since the first championship, their attitude towards his Sun has not changed much.
Aldridge is strong in his own right, and he has not changed his attitude towards Sun Ce.
Carter is one of the oldest players in the league. He is there, and he still gets along with Sun Ce normally.
David West and Rohr Deng, both of them are straight, and they have been playing for more than ten years. They are also fine, but they have become extraordinarily polite to his grandson.
But other people are different. Two rookies, Brogdon and Jaylen Brown, dare not even talk to him. Of course, his son and daughter are not that interested in taking the initiative to talk to these two people.
But even Gobert, Jie Michael Green, Jr. Nance, three teammates who have been partners for one to three years, have even more respect for his grandson! He became cautious when speaking, for fear of saying something wrong.
Sun Ce is not guilty of pumping. It is a good thing for others to respect him. However, if you respect him too much, you will still feel very awkward, because it has exceeded the degree of treating a teammate!
After training on a certain day, Sun Ce and Carter had physiotherapy together, and they talked about this thing that puzzled him.
Carter felt that this situation was strange to Sun Ce and felt even more strange. He replied: "Ou Mika, isn't this right? You are the of the basketball world. Isn't it normal for young players to see that you dare not speak? Did you listen? Have you ever talked about the news about the story of Jordan and which little character? His stories are all about other stars.
Not only will you encounter this situation among basketball players, but you will also encounter the same situation when you encounter athletes in other sports. You are the person standing at the top of an industry, and you will find that you communicate with people in any industry. , Will get the highest respect, even if you go to the White House..."
Hearing this, Sun Ce couldn't help thinking: "Are you talking and laughing with Trump... It seems that when I visited the White House last year, I was also talking with the Holy Gun..."
Sun Ce thinks Carter is right. It seems that it is true. However, he doesn't think how good this situation is. Of course, he doesn't have to break something, but he doesn't want to be like Jordan or like. The top figures in other industries deliberately carry themselves like that.
Just do what you like. Regardless of what others are doing, Sun Ce feels that he can communicate with them normally and live a normal life. He has to wrap himself up like no one else enters. Even if others really think that he will not enter in the stranger, he can just be himself normally, and he will not deliberately cater to others, nor will he deliberately alienate others.
The inability to determine the thoughts and behavior of others does not prevent him from being himself.
...
Day by day, the training camp came to an end on September 30.
"Let me see,
Clay brother A+, offensive A, defense A+; pickle S, offensive S-, defense S... These two brothers played in the Olympics in the summer, and they are in good condition. Both are at their peak. Clay is outrageous. Only shooting has an A-level offense.
Coach Biard, A+, offensive S, defense B+,
Ge Guanfeng B+, offensive C+, defensive S-... is almost the limit of a defensive center, it seems that it is not as good as Chandler at the beginning, but in this small ball era, the effect should not be much worse.
Teacher Tony C, offensive F, defense A-... Teacher Tony is about to retire, the consumption of these years is too great.
Yi Muhualian, A-, Offensive A, Defensive B...Is it possible to maintain the state, the stability of the long-range shooting is getting better and better, and the cut is also very strong...
Carter B, offensive A-, defense C...not bad.
Brogdon B, offensive A-, defense B... I didn't expect the best rookie defense to be a drag. Will it be better after adapting to the NBA? It seems that he is underestimated. It is not just an average of 10+3 offensive performance per game. This future first round will make a lot of money, and it will be cheap for 4 years!
Jaylen C+...I make progress very fast, other things emmmmm...
The son of the dunk king, B... This improvement is so impressive. At the end of last season, he was still a marginal man. Has he reached a good level this year? Give more opportunities this season, are you afraid that you will become a quality role player? By the way, this guy seems to have earned a salary of tens of millions after the rookie contract ended. This athletic ability, this small ball era is very good, and the cooperation with the Arab League is getting better and better, and the defense is also a bit interesting...
Contractor B... It's a bit difficult for him to hold up Hei Pangda's inside line card position after he left and top the opponent's center forward. Just use it. It looks quite bluffing.
Little Green B, in the peak period...not every player can always improve. As a 3D striker who is not particularly accurate in shooting, it is also good to have B-level strength. Other teams give 8 million. made money.
Deng Yingqiao...It is still possible to be a team glue. It is estimated that the team signed him for this. For such a player who has experienced numerous setbacks, it is quite good to use his rich experience of being beaten to help the team. of……"
On the last day of the training camp, Sun Ce looked at the performance evaluations of 13 teammates. The teammates are still very strong. Compared with last season, the role players... Except for Randolph's departure, it is bound to have an impact on the internal bench strength and the position of the substitute. The offensive and defensive capabilities have been greatly weakened, but the overall strength of the bench has become stronger!
However, the new players are okay, the former teammates, Sun Ce does have some regrets in terms of improvement. Some teammates have reached their peak, such as Klay Thompson and Paul George.
It’s not that Sun Ce thinks that they are not good enough. Klay Thompson’s pure 3D, A+ level ability evaluation is simply exaggerated. Paul George has developed to a super level in the direction of the organization forward, perhaps the edge of the S grade, just good enough to the S grade. , But it is appropriate to give football power an average of 15+5+10+2 per game. It is not that they are not good enough. It is just that Sun Ce has been accustomed to their rapid improvement over the past so many years. When they reached their peak, Sun Ce was more or less uncomfortable.
Aldridge is over 30 years old, his athletic ability is declining, and relying on more and more exquisite and comprehensive techniques, he is already in good shape.
But because the team has not had a high draft pick for a long time, everyone except Gobert has made no progress this year than those of Klay Thompson, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, etc. in the previous years. gratifying.
Of course, Sun Ce is not dissatisfied. There is an A+ level pure 3D, a team forward who can be selected for a team, can average 8+ assists, a wide range of shots, and a strong counterattack ability. There is also an Aldridge high and low back. He is content to play the top three insiders among the league's power forwards.
It's just that he is used to seeing his teammates improve every year in a row, and now only Gobert is left, which is somewhat regrettable.
Mainly compare...
"Ability Evaluation S+,
Physical fitness S-: speed S-, strength A+, core strength S+ level, endurance S-, bounce B+, static confrontation A+, leg explosive power A+ (burst acceleration, bullet speed), explosive confrontation ability A+...
Shooting evaluation S: three-point S (top arc area S+, right sideline S, left sideline S-), mid-range shot S (three-second zone right middle distance S+, right baseline middle distance S, free throw line area S, S on the left in the three-second zone, S- on the left bottom line), S for layup...
Technical evaluation S: ball control S, pass A, pick-and-roll jumper S-, dribble jumper S, emergency stop jumper A+, low back skills S-, high back skills S, three-threat stance B, jump A, dribble from behind A, turn technique A+, cross step to A..."
From the time of filming to the present, after a month and a half of rest, Sun Ce re-invested in training and competition. After more than two months of training and two-on-five training in the Olympics, his Sun has improved more than expected. Be obvious!
During the previous break, he planned well how to train after returning to the national team, how to train before training camp, how to strengthen his skills after training camp... The key point is to take the things learned with those big guys before. To consolidate, adjust in the direction that suits him, and did not learn new things... The facts have proved that his goals during the break are correct, three-pointers, mid-range shots, high-post backs, and post-dribble shots. Shooting and jumping after the pick-and-roll... Significant progress in these areas!
Even the three-threat standing posture relied on using the Jordan card twice in the finals to experience the quasi-top three threats, as well as the impression left by the past experience cards of other three-threat players. After careful consideration, it is obvious With progress, although it seems that his grandson does not have much talent in this area, at least he feels stupid when he does not know the three threats, and can use it occasionally.
Compared to his grandson, apart from Gobert, who improved rapidly this summer after the third grade, there is also a small Nance who improved quickly from grades 1 to 2. Nothing else in the team has made any significant progress...
In this regard, Sun Ce feels more sad. The players who entered the NBA at his time are no longer young players. Almost all have reached the peak period, and will pass the peak period as time passes. Soon there will be a new era of stars challenging them!
Stars of the new era...Sun Ce is very excited about the upcoming challenges, but 7 years later, he really wants to sing a song-where has the time gone? Turned into a lot of trophies...
Occasionally, I feel a trace of sadness for the years, mainly because the new season is about to start, and there will be no more sadness brought by the stars who entered the NBA in the 90s such as Duncan, Pierce, Andre Miller.
Even Kobe, after the Lakers’ signings ended, it was only because the salary cap was not filled this summer that the salary cap was not filled. He signed a one-year contract of 9.6 million U.S. dollars to help the Lakers bring the total salary to 102 million U.S. dollars. It is no longer one of the most important links of the Lakers. The Lakers clearly take Germany as the core, and the lineup is built around two people. Kobe's role can be seen by Sun Ce only by looking at the lineup. He is a pure veteran. Pitcher + key ball player.
Nowitzki signed a one-year contract of $25 million. Chandler joined the Suns with 30 million in two years. The Mavericks simply signed the contract and then exchanged for Conley to help Conley get the largest contract. After leaving, the Mavericks were basically sure to start to smash.
Sun Ce will inevitably miss the seven years after he entered the NBA in the era of the gods, Buddhas, and the Snake Horns. The Buddha retired and the snakes and silver horns faded out. The opponent in this era was only James.
Fortunately, there is a combination of waves, bulls double evil... just don't know who the new opponent will be.
Jimmy Butler and Conley should not be underestimated. The Nets' replacement of Lopez with Love has been qualitatively improved, and the Suns' talent has exploded...
The Grizzlies have not found a suitable point guard in this training camp. No team is willing to let go of high-quality role player point guards, because new contracts are not cheap. In this era of skyrocketing salaries, unless they are dedicated to the championship. A veteran point guard, a high-quality role player point guard at the peak of your age. If you don't give people too much playing time or big contracts, they won't come.
But the Grizzlies did not make a hasty decision. The team currently believes that Brogdon is a qualified second point guard, a good treasure they found in this draft year. The third point guard is to prevent injuries. , Increase the depth of the team's point guard position.
In terms of developing players, Sun Ce provided candidates and signed them. Wichita State University's graduating senior missed the draft pick Fred Van Fleet and Texas A&M's Alex Caruso. The strength is currently average. The top strengths in the development league are all point guards, but there is a big gap with the NBA. It is estimated that this season cannot be counted on. It depends on whether they can make progress in the development league as expected. The goal is to become marginal men in the NBA, but the two currently lack the strength to become marginal men in the NBA.
Any guarantee contract in the NBA can only be obtained by top figures in this industry worldwide.
Another development player signed is a player that the Celtics gave up directly after the second round of selection. Deyantai Davis, a tough power forward, is really good and has a strong ability to eat cakes. , But only eat cakes and have no defensive awareness at all. They played two games in the summer league and a total of 11 fouls. They were directly abandoned by the Celtics. The Grizzlies signed a reserve to see if they could make a difference in the development league. Improvement, Sun Ce estimated that it would not work, they have signed such players in the past two years, but in the end they gave up.
In the past few years, the Celtics have had several draft picks every year, but they can’t be traded. All the teams know that the Celtics are selling draft picks. However, due to the low draft, they are not attractive. Will give up one or two rookies, and other teams just wait for the leaks.
...
On October 2, after finishing training camp, the Grizzlies began to prepare for the preseason.
On October 3rd, the preseason game was on schedule. This year their Grizzlies were still not scheduled to play in the China game. Sun Ce was very thankful that the preseason game was really tiring...
The Mavericks and Lakers played the preseason. This was voted on by the official Chinese Weibo of the NBA. Duncan’s retirement greatly stimulated the nostalgia of the fans. The fans did not know that Nowitzki and Kobe were still there. Can play for a few more years. At this stage of the two people, it may be said that if they don’t fight, they will not fight. Most Chinese fans have not watched the two games live, so the Mavericks and Lakers have the highest votes. Yao Ming invited them directly. The two teams went to Shanghai to prepare for the new season. Through Yao Ming's relationship, the Mavericks agreed to some of the top CBA players to learn the level of the NBA training camp.
This is not difficult for the Mavericks. For training camps, it’s always good to have a few more sparring sessions. Even the Grizzlies, which has a full 15-man roster and 3 development player roster in the past two years, have invited seven or eight players. People are willing to come to the training camp.
Ding Yan Yuhang, after Ellis did not get a contract extension of 1 year 10 million to join the Pacers, got a one-year basic salary contract of $1.14 million. After two years, he finally became an official NBA player. How much playing time they can get is uncertain, but if the Mavericks are going to be bad, Sun Ce feels that Ding Yanyuhang has a chance to hone in the Mavericks.
On the night of the 3rd, the Grizzlies played their preseason opener against the Magic at home.
Embiid finally appeared in the NBA!
In this game, on the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce played only 9 minutes in the first quarter. Seeing that Sun Ce had entered the state from the first game as always, coach Hollins did not let him play again, mainly to exercise. Brogdon, the backup point guard, dominates, even Paul George took the initiative to let Brogdon hold the ball, but it was just an effect... In the game, coach Hollins asked Brogdon to focus on catching and shooting. Let Carter and Paul George hold the ball more.
In terms of the inside, the gap between David West and Randolph is quite obvious. If it is to play for ten minutes or so, and the pure role player play, David West is better than Randolph.
But now Randolph is gone, David West has to be responsible for the strong attack in the positional battle of the bench lineup, and it is still a bit close. Coach Hollins is preparing to adjust David West's play style.
Of course, it’s still better to look at it first, and then slowly adjust in the middle of the season. You have to find other combinations to make up for the replacement of the small insider combination that played an important role last season. After the product is finished, make changes. Otherwise, just move the pressure to the outside line. There is no way to force the change.
The decline in the strength of this insider combination is better than directly losing the role of this insider combination.
Compared with the Magic who are struggling to win the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies mainly focus on running-in, and even the six signed training camp players have all played.
There are still interesting points in the game. Embiid’s substitute Vucevic played for 12 minutes tonight. Before Embiid came on the field, Vucevic played for 18 minutes and made 6 of 9 shots. With 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Ibaka played really beautifully; Ibaka, who played 21 minutes, scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block on 5 of 8 shots.
However, after Embiid came on the field, Gobert, who hadn't played a few minutes tonight, was replaced...Sun Ce felt the malice from the bald man, who made the guy on the opposite side look like the second generation of Bynum?
As long as Embiid played, coach Hollins used Gobert to deal with Embiid. Embiid played 12 minutes, made 1 of 6 shots, scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 4 turnovers... and was cut by Paul George. One deduction.
Gobert's defensive progress this year is visible to the naked eye! It's not just the ability to eat cakes, the ability to grab the board is enhanced! The improvement on the defensive end is Gobert's biggest improvement this summer!
Steve Clifford, the head coach of the Magic, just wanted to adapt Embiid to the NBA. He didn’t expect that the bald man opposite was so cruel. He used Gobert to defend Embiid the whole time. Gobert saw this one late. This year's No. 3 pick was also tough enough, as hard as defending Cousins.
However, when Sun Ce watched Embiid playing, he felt that this guy was really talented, his basic skills were more solid than expected, and the Magic were good at training centers. This guy might really become the best center in the league. In the league, there are not many centers with good offensive skills.
92 to 106, the Grizzlies once again opened the preseason with a loss.
From the 8 games on the first day of the preseason, you can see the difference between a strong team and a weak team. Whether a strong team is like the Grizzlies, the lineup needs to be adjusted, or it is trying to change and want to play. Last season's different tactics were also running in. Almost all of the first games were very miserable. Except for the Celtics and Raptors, the other strong teams all lost.
On the contrary, weak teams are playing very fiercely. They don't need to think too much. They just do it directly. From the coaching staff to the players, the goal is to show their abilities so that young players can use the game to transform their talents into strength.
The Grizzlies started their pre-season preparation journey. There were losses and losses. With the cancellation of training camp players one by one, the Grizzlies played 1 win and 3 losses, and then played the Hawks and Hornets in two consecutive victories and scored 3. Win 3 losses, it is obvious that the Grizzlies' running-in has become better, of course, the main reason is that the main players' playing time has begun to increase.
On October 13, the day after the game with the Hornets, Sun Ce followed the team back to Memphis from Charlotte. Counting today will be a two-day rest. The last game of the preseason game on the 15th played with the Thunder. .
...
Once upon a time, when I came here, I was one person, then I became two people, and finally I became one person again...
The Thunder star Russell Westbrook jumped out of the player option after playing last season. After the free market opened and the new salary cap came out, Westbrook reached $90 million in 3 years with the Thunder. Knife's contract renewal, the last year of the 18-19 season salary was as high as 35 million US dollars, but shortly after signing the contract, the best brother who played 8 years together ran away.
Soon after, another good brother Ibaka was sent to the Magic...
Westbrook stood at the other end of the square outside the FedEx Arena, holding the umbrella that he forgot to take with him when he came here last year, feeling lonely...After all, he was alone!
Just as women think they are right no matter what they do, paranoid players feel that no matter what they do, they are working hard to contribute to the team, and any undesirable thoughts that others say will be regarded as "removal."
I took out my mobile phone and looked at the star rankings published by ESPN, TNT, and Sports Illustrated yesterday. In terms of TNT, the sixth is Anthony Davis, the seventh is Ross, and the eighth is James. Harden, he is Westbrook in ninth and Paul George in tenth.
For Sports Illustrated, Westbrook is ranked sixth, with Ross in seventh, Harden in eighth, Anthony Davis in ninth, and Paul George in tenth.
ESPN is the toughest! Ross sixth, Harden seventh, Anthony Davis eighth, Paul George ninth, Leonard tenth!
ESPN is the first media player to rank Leonard, who has just been righted by the Lakers, into the top ten, directly placing Westbrook in eleventh! When Westbrook saw himself appearing in eleventh place the day before yesterday, his whole body exploded!
The top five and three major media are very consistent. Curry, Sun Ce, James, Griffin, Durant, all the media have left these five players yet to announce their rankings.
Westbrook waited and stood there for half an hour with his mobile phone, motionless like a ninja shadow hiding in the corner. By 12 o'clock noon, the top five players in the three media star rankings and the team strength rankings The top three were announced at the same time.
In terms of team strength rankings, the defending champion ranked first. It is appropriate that ESPN ranked the Bulls second, and the other two ranked the Warriors second.
This is not beyond Westbrook’s expectations, because the rankings of these three teams have not been announced. The Grizzlies are the first, and the other two teams have their own opinions about who is second. Harden on the Warriors side. And Drummond Green and Harrison Barnes may continue to improve, Curry and Thabeet are at their peak, Iguodala is the sixth man, and the role player lineup is also very good.
On the Bulls side, two consecutive Asian players failed to get Durant in a short contract to let Wade return to his hometown to play for the championship, and his strength is bound to improve.
Westbrook opened the headlines on ESPN's official website that read "Lord Dominates the Stars."
Sun Ce is number one... ESPN is also well-measured. They love to do things, but at least they will be acceptable to the fans. If Sun Ce is not ranked first, then their "authority" will directly collapse and do things. They have been messing around, but they won't mess up their jobs.
However, after securing the number one contemporary basketball god, and second place, ESPN began to do things!
Durant was ranked second!
The reason makes Westbrook want to smash the ESPN headquarters!
"Durant left Westbrook and will have more ball and shot rights. In a young team, he will be the absolute boss. The Clippers will not make Durant sad like the Thunder. In the new season, if the leader continues to compete for the scoring champion, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Durant will be the strongest opponent on the road to the leader’s five consecutive scoring champions. We can finally see Durant, who has liberated all his scoring capabilities, once again. appear."
Westbrook looked at this commentary and felt that ESPN was here to black him! Because in the past few years, ESPN has either ranked James first or second. After Sun Ce became the first player in the league, ESPN was unable to bypass Sun Ce, and it has always placed James second, even if James played badly in the 14-15 season. Liffin is good. At the beginning of the 15-16 season, James was also ranked second by ESPN, and ESPN would not wait to see Durant, but this time, ESPN actually ranked Durant who went to the weak team second. ! And he Westbrook was ranked 11th!
...
Some people outside the arena are paying attention to the list, and there are also a group of people inside the arena.
Sun Ce looked at the final star rankings, Yi Jianlian integrated 47th, highest 46; Aldridge integrated 22nd, highest 19; Klay Thompson integrated 19th, highest to 16.

However, Sun Ce feels that if they fail to complete the three consecutive championships, they are indeed guilty. Who would let him blow all the bulls out...
But what can it do? Indeed, for them, if they did not win this year, in the eyes of his Sun, he is the biggest loser in these three years.
However, seeing ESPN's comments on Durant...Sun Ce is very curious, will the turtle return to the sewer after a year?
