Vol 3 Chapter 648: Wild west

"Super Heavy Gun ( to find the latest chapter!
The upcoming new season, before it has started, has set off a huge wave in the entire NBA circle.
Various sports media and basketball fans have begun to talk about the strength of each team. Although they have their own rhetoric, the objects of discussion are almost the same. Although this year's Eastern Conference teams are not small, but the league's pattern of strong West and weak East has not changed much. Especially after Leonard returned to the west, the entire west is now a mess. The teams that can hit the championship account for more than half. Under the current situation, these teams may start to compete from the playoffs.
The Clippers are undoubtedly the biggest winner in the NBA player market this summer. Former FMVP Leonard joined directly, the league’s top small forward Paul George only got it through a few role players and draft picks. The two superstars who were selected to the best team last season joined the Clippers directly. The fringe teams in the playoffs became favorites. The most incredible thing is that the Clippers have basically retained the core lineup that entered the playoffs last season, and they have been joined by Leonard and Paul George. The Clippers jumped. Become a super team with excellent offense and defense! This makes them top the list of team strength predicted by most media.
The Lakers finally made a desperate move this summer, sending away half of the lineup in exchange for the league's super insider Anthony Davis. LeBron James ushered in the strongest partner inside his career. The Lakers' lineup has changed dramatically this summer. In addition to the top ten superstars with offense and defense in the two major leagues, James and Davis, there are also top 3D players in the league like Danny Green, and Bradley is good at defensively A guard with three-point shooting ability, Dudley and Daniels and Howard are good role players, plus Rondo and other Lakers who performed well last season. Unknowingly, the Lakers' offensive and defensive ends have been fully upgraded, and the troubled space problem has directly improved their three-point shooting ability. After a period of depression, this league's leading giant team finally ranks among the championship teams again.
The Warriors left the league's superstar Durant and super bench star Iguodala this summer, the fallen All-Star Cousins, and the role player Livingston and others. Ushered in the addition of the Eastern All-Star player Russell and the addition of Cowlistan and others. In any case, their strength has dropped a lot. But what I have to say is that they still have four All-Stars. Without Durant, the Warriors will definitely return to the way they played 17 years ago. Curry and Thompson are likely to have a very good season in their careers. After all, their opponents are very strong. "Splash Brothers" will definitely use more personal abilities to help the team out of the predicament. Once Curry has made 402 three-pointers in a single season, apart from the Thunder, there is probably no second team in this league that can stop the Warriors.
Under this year's free market turbulent trade, one team completed the lineup upgrade very low-key. This team is also a team that everyone is optimistic about in the new season that can make the playoffs and even hit the championship. Of course, they were a playoff-level team last season. This team is the Utah Jazz. Perhaps they were too low-key, which caused the Jazz's lineup to be widely underestimated. During the offseason, Rubio and Favors left, but they got Conley from the Grizzlies, along with Bojan Bogdanovic, Ed Davis, Jeff Green, and Emmanuel ·Mudier and others joined. In general, after the Jazz has been greatly improved in the new season, perhaps they can surprise the media and fans who ignore them.
The Lone Ranger finally appeared again in the list of discussions. Since they started the road of reconstruction, they have lost the power of the "Texas top three". However, everything has changed since they got the young man Doncic last season. This incredibly mature young man made the Cowboys see the hope of the rise of Lone Rangers. After the Lone Ranger recognized the opponent's talents, he immediately cleaned up the unfavorable factors in the team. After they traded Porzingis from the Knicks, the fourth player from Europe, the Lone Ranger finally completed the reconstruction. It is very likely that the upcoming season will be when they return to the playoffs.
In addition to these strengthened teams, there are also a few strong teams that have not changed much, which can also attack the playoffs and championships in the new season.
The Nuggets surprised many fans last season and entered the playoffs with a record of the top three in the Western Conference. The team's number one star Jokic has become a top star that cannot be ignored in the league. And the teenager Murray has grown rapidly ~EbookFREE.me~ can already play a unique role in the team. The Nuggets basically retained their lineup last season, leaving role players such as Lyles, but the hard power still cannot be ignored.
The Blazers are similar to the Nuggets, with core players Lillard, McCollum and Nurkic all retained. Although some people left, they came to Whiteside from the Heat deal, plus Betzmore and others joined. The Blazers are still very likely to be a member of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Rockets’ core lineup hasn’t changed much, and they don’t even have small moves. In order to renew Harden and Paul, their salaries have overflowed, and there is basically no room for improvement. Although it was once rumored that they wanted to trade Paul, few teams could afford that super big contract. However, the strength of the "bulb" combination is still very strong, at least, the two regular seasons they worked together were quite successful.
Of course, in the Western Conference playoffs and even the championship sequence, the Thunder will not be eliminated by everyone anyway. This two-time championship team seems to be losing strength, but under the leadership of the two star players Westbrook and Anlow, no one knows how powerful they can erupt.
There are also the Spurs, the youth guards Pelicans, and the Kings who are always at the door of the playoffs. Although these teams seem to be inferior to the previous ones, they will become spoilers in the West .
There is no doubt that for the upcoming new season, no one can predict what it will be like and what will happen. But it is undeniable that this kind of structure, this kind of NBA, will definitely be the most anticipated and favorite of most people. It's spring when a hundred flowers bloom. No one likes to see the season's finale before it starts.
