A man lives a face, and a tree lives a layer of skin.

It's not a family, it's not a door.

Howard and Nelson, two inside-outside combinations who entered the NBA in the same year, played six seasons with the same team, and are about to start their seventh season, are a good illustration of these two sentences.

No matter what their strength is, these two people want to live a good life!

While arriving at the FedEx Arena to prepare for tomorrow's season opener, a reporter squatting in the arena asked Nelson about Sun Ce's No. 10 ranking by ESPN.

Nelson thinks he is very awesome and said that he will teach Sun Ce a good lesson, because he has played in the Finals, and in the past ten years, there have been more than a dozen starting point guards who have played in the Finals.

Howard's side...... He doesn't like all the technical interior players, even his returning teammate Turkoglou.

Because Turkoglou is regarded by the fans as the savior of the Magic team, and Howard sees himself as a savior, he very much dislikes Turkoglou's return.

It's such a strange man.

The day's preparation time passed quickly, and at 4 p.m. on Oct. 31, half an hour before the game began, players from both the Grizzlies and the Magic entered the court and waited for the game to begin.

In the past day, Sun Ce was ready to study the Magic's performance in the 08-09 season when they had Turkoglou, but found that ...... There's really nothing to study, and the other side plays very simply and roughly.

The key is a point, Howard can dunk the ball that the rest of the Magic team can't shoot, and the rest of the Magic team is very confident because of Howard's dominance on the rebounding end, and he can often shoot mid-range shots with a high percentage that season, and can shoot 10 three-pointers per game, nearly 10 mid-range shots + long two points, and the mid-range shots and three-pointers alone account for half of the total score of that Magic team.

Sun Ce compared the differences between the 07-08 season and the 09-10 season and the 08-09 season, and the main comparison of the differences in the playoffs, and the results were very unexpected!

Sun Ce found that the Magic team's three-point performance in three seasons is similar, the biggest difference is that in the 08-09 season, the Magic team's pitchers performed super in the middle range, while the 07-08 season and 09-10 seasons had a very average performance in the middle range, and in the playoffs, it can even be described as bad, which in turn also affected the score under the basket.

With Sun Ce's short period of more than a year of tactical study, he has not been able to analyze why he can draw this conclusion from the details of the Magic team's data, which is very different from his impression.

Either way, the Magic team is very difficult to deal with!

One of the most difficult to deal with is Howard, who has entered his prime!

During the pre-game activities and the boss's speech, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opposing players and was attracted by Howard's ability evaluation.

"Dwight Howard (Peak), Ability Rating S, Offensive A+, Defensive S+, Rebounding S+, Three-point ...... Cic...... Layup S, Speed A-, Power S, Bounce S, Endurance S......"

It's too strong!

The strongest inside line in the active service!

From the offensive end, there must be an interior line with stronger offensive skills and offensive performance than Howard, but in terms of comprehensive ability, except for James, Howard should be the strongest.

The main thing is that his physical fitness has reached his peak in the seventh year of his career, and his offensive ability has also reached his peak.

A-level speed, S-level strength, and S-level bounce are completely monsters, and this season, they are a notch higher than Little Jordan!

Sun Ce has the impression that if it weren't for Ross playing an amazing MVP season, Howard would almost be MVP+DPOY!

But the Magic team has a strange lineup, and Howard is an S-class superstar with a ...... A bunch of B-class stars.

The Magic don't have even a single player from A- to A+ rating! The whole fault is over!

Turkoglou, with a B+ ability evaluation, returned to the Magic after a year, and is no longer the top organizational forward with A+ level strength at the peak of the year, and the decline is very serious.

Jason Richardson, B+ rating; Nelson, B; Lewis, B-Class......

Looking at Lewis with three years left in his top salary, there is only this level left...... Anyway, Lewis has never played a performance worthy of the top five salaries in the league, and Sun Ce feels that the Magic team should be used to it.

Judging from the evaluation of the opponent's ability, Sun Ce feels that the Magic team can still maintain at least 50+ wins now, and it really depends on Howard.

Changing James alone is really not just talking.

After the pre-match event, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, and Tekoglu took a group photo together under the guidance of reporters on the sidelines.

These are the three best players in the World Championship finals, and the brothers in the World Championships.

In fact, it was not only these three people who were called to take a group photo, but also Gay and Gasol Jr. of the Grizzlies.

When they heard the reporter's invitation, the two scolded and walked away, wanting to leave the group!

Group photo of the core players of the champion and runner-up, is it humiliating to go to them?

At 4:25, the referee signaled that the two teams had to start the best preparation, and there were five minutes left before the game began.

After the Grizzlies coaching staff emphasized the tactical set-up, the starters of both teams prepared separately.

Sun Ce came to the technical desk to rub magnesium powder and looked at the two events tonight.

"Nelson's Targeting (C): The host needs to surround Jamil Nelson in three stats of points, rebounds, and assists.

Event Reward: A C-level raffle card.

Failure Penalty: C-level random penalty. ”

This incident only gave C-level difficulty, and also gave the difficult requirements of all-round data encirclement, that is, I really feel that Nielsen's strength is not good.

Sun Ce's impression is the same, after Howard left the Magic team, the Magic team's original pitcher group around Howard all did not have the excellent Turan performance when Howard was still there, and they played extremely badly, and they couldn't be traded.

In the first game of the regular season, Sun Ce appeared as the core of the outside starter for the first time, of course, he had to play hard, and seeing the average ability of Nelson's "all-round point guard", Sun Ce felt that his type with obvious strengths had more advantages.

Mainly, another event.

"We're a strong team (B): Indwight Howard used a playful tone in an interview to express his views on the host's team and bond with the host's team.

Event Objectives: 1. In the next game against the Magic, the player with the highest score on the host team must be the player with the highest score in the game.

2. In the next game against the Magic, the Magic team needs to limit the number of three-point shots to 10.

3. Win the win.

Event Rewards: Complete all three objectives and receive a Dwight Howard Random Season Star Experience Card.

Defeat Penalty: If the number of failed targets exceeds two, the host enters a state of languishing for 7 games, ensuring that the host plays the worst start. ”

This event is simply amazing!

Still guaranteed to get off to the worst start of your career?

Isn't that the biggest obstacle to "finishing in the top 30", which is his ultimate goal this season?

There is also that broken reward, which is not as attractive to Sun Ce as the reward of Nielsen's event.

Howard's star experience card has an egg!

Fortunately, the team's defensive preparation for the game against the Magic team was originally arranged for the opponent's three-point team, as long as he defeated the opponent and limited the opponent's three-point team, Sun Ce could accept it.

After adjusting his mood and wiping magnesium powder, Sun Ce came to the court.

The Magic, on their part, fielded a lineup of Nelson, Jason Richardson, Turkoglou, Lewis, and Howard.

The Grizzlies sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol Jr.

With a happy smile on his face, Howard played an opening high-five with Nelson and then came to the center circle to jump the ball.

Every time I see Howard laughing in a game, it looks like he's showing off his individual abilities...... Sun Ce will understand why Howard is so unpopular after changing teams.

At 4:30 a.m., the game, which was broadcast live by CNN Sports, began.

The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game on time and runs the ball into the air.

There was no suspense, the ball flew to the highest point, Gasol Jr. had just stood on his tiptoes, and Howard had already flicked the ball to the back.

The Magic strike first!

Fall into positional warfare!

Don't look at the arrogant Van Gundy as the head coach of the Magic team in the past three seasons, the Magic team has averaged 26 three-pointers per game to rank first in the league, and it is also the only team that can average at least 25 three-pointers per game for three consecutive seasons, even the Suns and Warriors have only averaged more than 25 three-pointers per game in the past three years.

However, they are standard positional teams.

After Nelson advanced to the frontcourt, Conley defended and Sun Ce followed Jason Richardson into position.

Richardson learned to block and dismantle without the ball in the Suns very well, ran with Sun Ce, and after receiving the ball on Tekoglou's side, he went to help Lewis block Randolph, and because he ran with Sun Ce, Sun Ce became the "pile" that Richardson used to block Randolph.

Lewis ran out of a gap, Tekoglu's ball had already reached him, and before Sun Ce switched defenses, Lewis made a three-point shot......

It's a very simple tactical fit, and it works very effectively, but compared to last season, Lewis has slipped again!

The first three-pointer of the opening game almost made a three-pointer!

The ball rubbed against the front of the basket and fell vertically with a "bang".

Howard grabs an offensive rebound!

Gasol Jr. had good defensive awareness, and immediately moved between Howard and the basket before he grabbed the rebound, preventing Howard from making a direct dunk.

When Howard saw Gasol Jr.'s position, he leaned his back against Gasol Jr. and slammed into it!

Originally, the Grizzlies were very confident in Gasol Jr.'s defense of Howard, but it was difficult for Howard to hit Gasol Jr. last season.

But this time it's different...... Howard took a big step straight back to Gasol Jr., jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

Little Gasol can't bear it!

Howard's explosiveness is too strong!

Moreover, Gasol Jr. lost a little more than 121 kilograms and less than 122 kilograms, and Howard also gained 120 kilograms this summer!

Can't prevent it!
