Before the start of the new season, it is customary for ESPN to do a season preview. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the reporters in charge of this issue are different every year, for example, this year, the reporter in charge of the season preview column has become Zach Lowway, an expert reporter who has not been on the job for a long time.

Zach Lowe is the NBA's master of data analysis, what he likes and is best at is data analysis, once he analyzed 20,000 words through data analysis for a playoff game against the Spurs against the Thunder, and finally came to the conclusion that the Spurs will sweep the Thunder in four games, no one believed him at the time, but in the end, the Spurs swept the Thunder.

Therefore, it is expected that Zach Lowe, the statistic emperor, will make the season preview.

In order to make the most satisfying, effective and objective season preview, Zach Lowe specially delayed for a few weeks, preparing to wait until the end of the preseason and when the teams really determine the final 15-man squad, and then make the best season preview through the analysis of the preseason and the analysis of the players of each team.

Since Zach Lowe thinks so, ESPN's editorial department naturally agrees, but the preseason has just begun, the regular season is about to begin, and the warm-up for the new season must be done, so ESPN chose to let Zach Lowe concentrate on the season preview, and let Mark Stein and Henry Abbott be responsible for the warm-up of the new season during this time.

As a result, the 76ers, who had just returned to the United States, became the object of Henry Abbott's first prediction, in Henry Abbott's words: "I am used to starting with the team that is at the bottom of the strength, so the first team I predict is the Orlando Magic, the second team is the Los Angeles Lakers, and the third team is the Philadelphia 76ers." ”

In other words, the 76ers are the third worst team in Henry Abbott's eyes.

However, the 76ers haven't spoken yet, and the Lakers have disagreed, last season was still a team with F4, and this season hasn't started yet, you say I'm the second worst team in the league, how can I agree?

So, the Lakers' media first stood up to refute Henry Abbott's view, and then the Lakers' players also stood up.

And Henry Abbott's purpose is also for the Black Lakers, he didn't pay attention to the 76ers at all, and the 76ers and the Magic belonged to lying down and had to be shot.

Magic is okay, last season was originally the penultimate first, this season the reinforcements are not good, only signed a list of Victor Oladipo, which is really bad.

The 76ers really disagree, although Sam Sinki's transfer operation is incomprehensible, but at least the 76ers have also introduced the new Finals MVP, how can it be said that it is the third worst team in the league?

If it comes to the operation of sending away the core players in the team, the Jazz in the West and the Bucks in the East have obviously done it.

The Jazz let go of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap for free, and there were no new signings. On the Bucks' side, they let go of Monta Ellis for free, signed O.J. Mayo instead, sent away Brandon Jennings, in exchange for Brandon Knight, plus the departure of JJ Redick and Mike Dunleavy, the Bucks' strength has also declined very seriously.

And now, in the eyes of Henry Abbott, the 76ers, who sent away Jrue Holiday and signed Anxi, became the third worst team in the league, surpassing the Jazz and Bucks.

In Henry Abbott's reasoning for prediction, he had this to say: "Sam Sinki of the Philadelphia 76ers is obviously a rookie who has just become general manager, and he sent away Johordi, who has already proven himself, and then traded for a rookie named Nolan Snoll, who has been reimbursed for the season and will not help the 76ers this season. ”

"Coupled with the release of Nick Young and Dorrell Wright, the 76ers' goal for the new season seems to have suddenly become a mess, but at this time they signed Anxi, the new Finals MVP."

"Yes, the name is very loud, but that's all, Anxi only broke out four games, strictly speaking, he only broke out 2 games, the first game of the finals and the third game of the finals, he broke out, and then what? Can a player who hasn't proven himself become their new star player? Can a player who hasn't proven himself get an annual salary of tens of millions? ”

"Look at the 76ers' lineup, maybe Anxi can be considered a qualified starter, plus Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young and Spencer Hawes, they can also have a starting lineup that looks good, but the flaws of this starting lineup are already obvious, no defense, lack of point guards, some people say that Anxi can defend? Can he help defend it? Can he single-handedly prop up a team's defense like LeBron James? ”

"Some people say that the point guard has McCarvey, the No. 11 rookie? Then the second question comes, Sam Xinki actually chose McCarvey with the eleventh pick, a point guard with empty height, no shooting, and no power, in this league, can he really gain a foothold? ”

After analyzing the 76ers' lineup, Henry Abbott also used the 76ers' two China games to analyze.

"In the two Chinese games, the 76ers all ended in losing, and losing in the preseason is nothing, especially in this kind of exhibition game, but in the two preseason games, the 76ers' biggest recruit, Anxi, was in excellent condition in the first game and got 22 points and 4 assists, but in the second game, he only scored 15 points in the case of more playing time, obviously his strength is not as strong as people think."

"As for the No. 11 rookie, McCarvey, the performance in the two games couldn't have been worse, McCarvey couldn't even start with the 76ers, and he couldn't even play off the bench after that."

……

"Ann, what do you think of ESPN's pre-season reviews?"

With only one game played in three or four days in the preseason, Anxi has become very idle back in the United States, and Brett Brown has a newspaper in front of him that reprints Henry Abbott's predictions and evaluations of the 76ers.

An Xi glanced at the newspaper, and then said indifferently: "Brett, in the next game, you let me play for a while, and I will let Henry Abbott know why his face is so swollen." ”

Brett Brown nodded, "No problem." ”

An Xi hesitated for a moment, thought about it and asked, "What about Michael?" ”

"Michael?" Brett Brown touched his chin. "He'll be on the bench for the next game."

An Xi wanted to ask why, but he knew that it was Bret Brown's right to arrange the lineup, but Brett Brown also saw An Xi's question, and he smiled: "Wait, Michael will gradually break out, and now is not the best time for him to start." (To be continued.) )
