Chapter 284: New season starts

(These two days are a bit of a plot...)
Wang Xiao's remarks have indeed caused great repercussions in the United States, but they are not the league's largest news.
Throughout the summer of 12 years, the biggest news in the league was definitely the composition of the Lakers f4.
After winning two consecutive championships in 10 years, the Lakers have missed the finals for two consecutive years. Kobe has not won the sixth championship of the career. The Lakers have also been taken away by the Heat, the Knicks and other big three teams.
As the league's traditional giants, the Lakers are not willing to do so.
In the last season, the Lakers management almost caused Paul and Howard to join the Lakers to form the Lakers version of the Big Three. As a result, the transaction ended because of Stern's emergency stop. Paul finally went to the Clippers, and Howard. Reluctantly stayed in Orlando.
After the playoffs ended and the free market opened, the Lakers started to move.
On July 5, 2012, the Lakers and the Sun reached a deal to sign and then exchange, and the legendary point guard Steve Nash was obtained from the Sun.
This deal caused a lot of shock. Nash, as a two-time regular season mvp winner, has no doubt about his strength. Although he is now 38 years old, he still averaged 12.5 points and 10.7 assists per game last season because of his style of play. .
Nash's joining has very well reinforced the vacancy of the Lakers' point guard, making the Lakers' extremely strong strength further improved.
But similarly, the arrival of Nash has also made the defense of the Lakers point guard more vulnerable, but overall the benefits are still greater than the disadvantages.
On August 10th, people were shocked after the huge deal involving the four teams in Israel.
The Lakers sent All-Star center Andrew Bynum, forward Josh McRoberts, small forward Ainga and a 2017 first-round draft pick and a 2015 second-round pick to get Super Center Dwight Howard from Orlando Magic!
With this deal, the Lakers formally formed the super f4 lineup of Nash + Kobe + Artest + Gasol + Howard!
"While other teams are still forming the Big Three to imitate the Heat Knicks, the Lakers have taken a new path and embarked on the path of tracking the Big Four! They have succeeded, and the next time is the time for other teams to complain! The Lakers of the new season The team will look at it!"
"This is simply cheating. I seriously doubt if there is any black box "fuck" in these transactions. The Lakers got Nash at a negligible price, and then got Howard with Bynum and a first round! Imagine that there will be such an unfair deal in the league! At first, the Celtics paid nearly half of the team to get Garnett! Howard is not worse than Garnett at the peak!"
Overnight after the formation of Super F4, the Lakers jumped to the top of the league's winning odds list, surpassing the defending champion Wizards, the Big Three Heat and the Spurs Trail Blazers and other teams.
The entire league, I am afraid that only Wang Xiao alone is not optimistic about the Lakers f4.
But that's just because he was a prophet of the traverser.
To be reasonable, when crossing the previous Wang Xiao, and seeing the Lakers f4 in another 12 years, he also exclaimed that the nba finally ended.
Who would have thought that the Lakers f4 is completely incompatible and completely without any chemical reaction.
Who would have thought that Nash, who can still maintain a high level of competition last season, will frequently fall into the tide of injuries?
Who would have thought that Kobe and Howard would be in disagreement, and in the end the conflict was so great that they could not tolerate each other?
The Lakers' super f4 fell apart in only one season, Howard left the Rockets, Kobe injured his Achilles tendon because of too much effort, and Nash's dream of champions also shattered...

The Lakers are still not afraid, and the Wizards' biggest opponent in the new season is the Big Three.
The Heat have also been greatly strengthened this summer. Like another time and space, Ray Allen rejected the Celtics renewal and joined the Miami Heat.
Ray Allen is now far from the glory of the three-point king at the peak of that year, but his strength is still not to be underestimated, he will become the strongest firepower point outside the Heat's three giants.
According to another history of time and space, the Heat will play the best 27-game winning streak in team history, win the best regular season 66 wins and 16 losses, and reverse the Spurs in the finals to win the championship.
There is no doubt that this will be the Heat's strongest and most difficult season.
Wang Xiao has every reason to believe that as long as the Wizards resist this season, the Heat will be completely defeated.
Others don't say, at least James will definitely retreat.
Whether it is a request to apply for a transaction when the 13-year contract has not expired, or a choice to jump out of the contract in 14 years, James will leave Miami with a high probability.
Wang Xiao will be unable to estimate where James will go.
Wang Xiao felt that James was really unlucky enough to meet his own opener. He could have won two championships in the Heat and improve his historical status. May be robbed by Wang Xiao.
According to the strength of the Wizards' current lineup, I'm afraid James will have a hard time in the next few years.

The preseason began with the heat of the Lakers making up f4 and the success of the backup lineup.
The Wizards' preseason style is still the same as in previous seasons, and a wide range of different rotations are used on a large scale. The result of this is that the Wizards' preseason performance is not very good, and almost no wins. ball.
In this regard, the Wizards' "fans" have become accustomed to it, so they haven't paid much attention to it. The pre-season results don't matter. The regular season is when the team really exerts its strength.
...
The Wizards' first regular season of the 12-13 season will take place on October 30, and the team will face the Portland Trail Blazers challenge at home on October 30.
From this opener, you can see the alliance's current thinking.
As a duel team for the finals last season, the Wizards and Trail Blazers are very young teams, and it is likely that they will become the focus of the confrontation between the eastern and western sides in the next few years.
The Blazers have limited reinforcement during the offseason. There is no way. Although the Blazers' boss is rich, the team has a salary cap restriction.
Durant, Aldridge and Jordan Jr. occupy the majority of the team's salary space. In this case, it is difficult for the Blazers to greatly strengthen the team's lineup through the free market.
In the end they just signed 76ers point guard Louis Williams with a three-year, $16 million contract in the free market.
Louis Williams is a very good player. He has won the third best sixth man in the future. At the peak, he can contribute 22.6 points and 5 assists per game in a single season, but that is the future of Louis. Williams does not have the level of the best sixth man in the future. He can only count as a substitute with a good level and can contribute some points steadily.
If it weren't for the Blazers' point guard position that only Andre Miller, a veteran, could reach, I'm afraid they would not sign Louis Williams.
