(It's been a bit of a card in the past two days...... ）

Wang Xiao's remarks did cause a lot of repercussions in the United States, but it was not the biggest news in the league.

Throughout the summer of '12, the biggest news in the league was definitely the composition of the Lakers' F4.

After winning the championship in 10 years and winning two consecutive championships, the Lakers have missed the finals for two consecutive years, Kobe Bryant did not win the sixth championship of his career, and the Lakers were also robbed of the limelight by the Heat, Knicks and other big three teams.

As the league's traditional giants, the Lakers are not willing to do so.

Last season, Lakers management almost facilitated Paul and Howard to join the Lakers to form the Lakers' version of the Big Three, but the deal ended with Stern's emergency call, and Paul ended up with the Clippers, while Howard reluctantly stayed in Orlando.

After the playoffs ended and the free agency market opened, the Lakers began to move again.

On 7/5/12, the Lakers reached a sign-and-trade deal with the Suns, acquiring legendary point guard Steve Brown. Nash.

The deal caused quite a stir, as Nash, as a two-time regular season MVP winner, has no doubt about his strength, although he is now 38 years old, but because of his style of play, he can still contribute 12.5 points and 10.7 assists per game last season, which is extremely efficient.

The addition of Nash has strengthened the vacancy of the Lakers' point guard, further improving the Lakers' already strong strength.

However, in the same way, the arrival of Nash has also made the Lakers' point guard defense more fragile, but overall the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages.

And when on August 10, Israel was involved in a huge trade involving four teams, people were shocked.

The Lakers sent All-Star center Andrew. Bynum, forward Josh. McRoberts, small forward Ayngar and a 2017 first-round pick and a 2015 second-round pick, got super-center Dwight from the Orlando Magic. Howard!

With this deal, the Lakers officially formed a super F4 lineup of Nash + Kobe + Artest + Gasol + Howard!

While other teams are still building a Big Three to emulate the Heat Knicks, the Lakers have taken a different path and embarked on the path of chasing the Big Four! They succeeded, and then it's time for the other teams to complain! The Lakers in the new season will be looking forward to it! ”

"It's just cheating, and I seriously doubt that there was a back-to-the-door operation in these trades, where the Lakers got Nash for a paltry price and then Howard for Bynum and a first-rounder! It's hard to imagine such an unfair trade in the league! At the beginning, the Celtics paid nearly half of the team to get Garnett! Howard is no worse than Garnett in his prime! ”

Overnight, the Lakers became the league's odds to win the championship, ahead of the defending champions Wizards, the Big Three Heat and the Spurs Trail Blazers.

In the entire league, I am afraid that Wang Xiao is the only one who is not optimistic about the Lakers F4.

But that's only because of his foresight as a time-traveler.

To be reasonable, Wang Xiao before the time, when he saw the Lakers F4 in another time and space in 12 years, he also exclaimed that the NBA finally came to an end.

Who would have thought that the Lakers F4 was completely incompatible and completely devoid of any chemistry.

Who would have thought that Nash, who was able to maintain a high level of competition last season, would be hit by a wave of injuries?

Who would have thought that Kobe Bryant and Howard would be at odds, and in the end the conflict would be so big that they couldn't tolerate each other at all?

The Lakers' Super F4 fell apart after just one season, with Howard leaving the Rockets, Kobe Bryant injuring his Achilles tendon because he worked too hard, and Nash's championship dream was shattered......

The Lakers are still not afraid, and the biggest opponent of the Wizards in the new season is still the Heat Big Three.

The Heat also had a huge reinforcement this summer, and like another plane, Ray. Allen turned down a contract extension with the Celtics and joined the Miami Heat instead.

Now Ray. Allen has far lived up to the glory of the three-point king at the peak of that year, but his strength should not be underestimated, and he will become the strongest firepower outside the Heat's big three.

In another history, the Heat will have a team-best 27-game winning streak this season, a season-best 66-16 in the regular season, and win the championship against the Spurs in the Finals.

There is no doubt that this will be the Heat's strongest and toughest season.

Wang Xiao has every reason to believe that as long as the Wizards resist this season, the Heat will be completely defeated.

If others don't say it, at least James will inevitably retreat.

Whether it's asking for a trade before the 13-year contract expires, or choosing to jump out of the contract in 14, James will most likely leave Miami.

Where James will go at that time, Wang Xiao can't estimate.

Wang Xiao felt that James was really unlucky enough to meet his own open-mindedness, he could have won two championships in the Heat huddle and improved his historical status, but now it's good, the first championship of his career is gone, and the second championship may be snatched away by Wang Xiao.

According to the current strength of the Wizards' roster, I am afraid that James will not have a chance in the next few years.

……

The preseason began with the Lakers, who make up F4, gearing up and the Heat, who successfully strengthened the bench lineup.

The Wizards' preseason style is still the same as in previous seasons, using a variety of different rotation lineups on a large scale, and the result of this is that the Wizards' preseason performance is not very good, almost no wins.

In this regard, Wizards fans have become accustomed to it, so they don't pay attention to it, the results of the preseason do not matter, the regular season is when the team really makes efforts.

……

The Wizards' first regular-season game of the 12-13 season kicks off on Oct. 30 and the team will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Oct. 30.

The idea of what the league is thinking now can be seen from this opener.

As the teams that played in last season's Finals, the Wizards and the Trail Blazers are both very young teams, and they are likely to be the focus of the showdown between the East and the West in the next few years.

The Trail Blazers have limited reinforcements in the offseason, and there is no way, although the owners of the Trail Blazers are rich, but the team has a salary cap.

Durant, Aldridge and Jordan Jr. occupy most of the team's salary space, and in this situation, it will be difficult for the Trail Blazers to significantly strengthen the roster through free agency.

In the end, they simply signed 76ers point guard Luis on a three-year, $16 million contract in free agency. Williams.

Louis. Williams is a very good player, who won the best sixth man 3 times later, and at his peak, he could contribute an average of 22.6 points and 5 assists per game in a single season, but after that, Louis Williams at this stage does not have the level of the best sixth man in the future, and can only be regarded as a bench player with a good level, who can contribute some points steadily.

If it's not for the Trail Blazers, the point guard position is only Andre. If Miller, a veteran, can handle it, I'm afraid they won't sign Luis. Williams.
