Chapter 284: What Will the New Season Be Like (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
After McMillan confirmed that Lu Fei's injury was not a major problem, he rushed back to the United States.
He is now full of questions about the preparation of the new season, the team has new people, the tactics need to be adjusted, how to play in the new season, last season reached the second round, can this season go further?
The core is that Lu Fei can't change this, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous about Lu Fei's injury.
However, there are still some tactical adjustments, and Brandon Roy's outstanding performance in the summer league made him happy, averaging 25.8 points per game, shooting 65%, leading the SuperSonics to win the Summer League championship and successfully elected MVP.
McMillan is now a little envious of the head coach of the Huskies, who can have two excellent players, Lu Fei and Roy, and a fool can win the NCAA championship!
Well, in the future, others will envy themselves.
McMillan thought about it, but he was also a little troubled, Roy's tactical position, Roy could play the No. 3 position in college, but when he came to the NBA, his height to play the No. 3 position was a little worse, but the team at the No. 2 position has a star like Ray Allen, and it seems that Roy can only play as a substitute for a year.
It's really ...... to have a No. 4 pick play as a substitute What a luxury!
Although the current supersonic lineup is not luxurious, but after last year's run-in, the whole league looks at this former civilian team differently, think about it carefully, the supersonic is now also a team with a big three, Rasheed Wallace, Ray Allen and Lu Fei, although the color is not so sufficient, but no team in the league wants to meet the supersonics.
Now, with the addition of Roy, the sixth man with super scoring ability, the team's strength is even better.
He had already received a call from Lu Fei and knew that Lu Fei was flying over now, and he would have to gather all the players together for a period of training after Lu Fei came to prepare for the new season.
The new season doesn't seem to be as easy as imagined......
The league has canceled the handcheck rule, which means that the defensive actions of the players above the free throw line must be changed in the future, which will cause a lot of pressure on the team's defense on the outside, and there will inevitably be a group of teams and players who will use the rules to rise strongly in the new season.
It's just a change in the rules of the game, but also a change in the league pattern, and McMillan in the East doesn't pay attention to it, and a few deals in the West are enough for him to have a headache.
These few deals in the summer have been nothing short of a disaster for teams in the West.
The first thing is that the Lakers got Yao Ming, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant formed a dual-core combination, and the Zen master also expressed his willingness to stay in the Lakers, which means that the Lakers will inevitably become one of the most difficult opponents in the West in the new season, Yao Ming's style of play will be seamlessly connected to the Zen master's triangle offensive tactics, coupled with the cancellation of the handcheck rule, Kobe's scoring ability has been released again, so who can stop the combination of the two players?
Because of this deal, O'Neal went to Space City, originally thought that Francis and O'Neal would carry the offensive banner of Houston together, but Carol Dawson had a brain pump and sent Francis away, plus some chips, from the Orlando Magic in exchange for last season's scoring champion McGrady.
Now the west is lively.
All fans are discussing the question of which is stronger or weaker between the combination of Kobe + Yao Ming and the combination of Maddie + O'Neal, the key is that everyone pays attention to the feelings of other teams, and other teams are also here to play.
Another team that upsets McMillan is the Phoenix Suns.
Last season, the Suns ranked second to last in the West, and it stands to reason that such a team would not make him tumble and make big waves, but this summer, the Suns used salary space to sign All-Star players Steve Nash and Quentin Richardson, two All-Stars plus the original Stoudemire and Sean Marion in the team, plus Joe Johnson, I am afraid the Suns are really going to rise.
The Timberwolves and Spurs, the two big three teams last year, did not make much adjustments, but Sprewell and Cassel expressed their dissatisfaction with the contract in the offseason, and it is estimated that the Forest will not have a good time next season, and the Spurs are still a GDP combination, and their roster can be used for another ten years.
These teams in the West are a headache for McMillan, these teams will become potential opponents for the SuperSonics, plus the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings, who maintained last season's lineup, a total of seven teams, none of the seven teams are weak.
Don't forget that there is also the Denver Nuggets, they don't rely on anything else, just rely on the highland climate to ensure a certain winning rate,
Los Angeles is not only the Lakers, the Clippers who are making trouble, since having Radmanovic, they have solved the problem of outside shooting percentage that used to be a headache, and it is estimated that they are still thinking about returning to the playoffs this season.
The Jazz also wanted to give it a go, using the Bird clause to rob Boozer from the Cavaliers, and Kirilenko estimated that they could also muddy the waters in the West.
There are only three teams in the West that have been confirmed to be broken, the New Orleans Hornets, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Golden State Warriors.
The discord between Byron Davis, the star of the Hornets, and the team's management has long been rumored, and they have just moved from the east to the west, it is estimated that they will not be able to figure out the moisture in the west for a while, and it is destined to become a fish belly.
The Portland Trail Blazers just changed owners, and the owner got this team just to cash out, and now people up and down are panicking, who still has the heart to play.
Needless to say, the Golden State Warriors have not touched the threshold of the playoffs in the past few years, and they are either running or at the bottom every year, and the key is that they can't even get a champion sign, and they are really enough to carry it.
Except for these three teams, the other teams are headed for the playoffs.
There are eight places in the playoffs, and twelve of the fifteen teams in the West want to get in, and whoever touches them must not work hard, but there are only eight places in the playoffs, isn't this to steal the head?
McMillan felt that this year's West was too difficult.
He opened a document on his computer, which was a list of the team's players, and he carefully studied the names on the list, if the results of the new season were not satisfactory, he was afraid that someone in it would have to leave.
What will the new season look like?
……
As soon as Lu Fei got off the plane, he received a call from Joe Smith, who told him about the recent itinerary, because the season has not started yet, he has to negotiate some endorsement contracts that should be negotiated before the season starts, shoot all the commercials that should be filmed, and some variety shows that should be on it.
Lu Fei listened carefully, and just said when he hung up the phone: "Don't answer the endorsement of domestic food......
It's not a good thing to mislead Chinese people into eating indiscriminately!
