1486. Duncan's Resolve (Part 3)
Originally, Paul George's talent was highly regarded, although he didn't have the talent of 20+ per game in the second year like Guy, but he was really similar to Maddie.
In the finals last season, Paul George became famous and got a 4-year 24 million endorsement contract from Nike in the summer.
This is already the endorsement of Anthony, Paul, and Howard at the same level.
No. 1 in the three player power rankings, Sun Ce's vanity has finally been satisfied, as for ESPN's evaluation, who cares?
I can't think of a way not to put him Sun in the first place, even if the other party is very sour, Sun Ce feels cool!
In terms of team power rankings, the defending champions are definitely the first in the first issue, and this time ESPN seems to be very determined not to mess with the rankings.
Second and third, Sports Illustrated and ESPN put the Lakers in second place. T put the Spurs in second place.
The top three, the Grizzlies, Lakers, and Spurs, are all Western teams.
Even, in the top ten, except for the Bulls, 76ers, Nets, and Heat, no Eastern team has been ranked in the top ten by the three major media, the 76ers and the Nets are only in the top ten in ESPN's team power rankings, and only the Bulls and Heat are recognized as the top ten teams in the league in the East.
However, the power ranking belongs to the power ranking, and the regular season record prediction list is very different.
The Spurs and Bulls dominate the Western Conference regular season championship and the Eastern Conference regular season championship probability first!
Even the bookmakers gave the two teams extremely exaggerated odds for the regular season division winners, with the Spurs 1-1.02 and the Bulls 1-1.01, almost negligible.
However, this does not mean that the two teams are the biggest favorites to win the championship, the Heat and the Lakers are the teams with the highest odds to win the championship.
Even since the beginning of the new century, only the Spurs in 2003 and the Grizzlies in 2012 have won the championship while winning the regular season championship, and the other regular season championships have not been able to win the championship.
Rankings, just look at it, Sun Ce will care, but it depends on the situation, now he is trying not to let himself be affected by these things, and prepare well for the opening game of the new season.

After sleeping and getting up, he practiced left-handed shooting and right-hand three-pointers for two hours, and after the development of the top arc and bottom corner area, Sun Ce's right-hand sideline three-pointers mainly practiced 45-degree angles to 30-degree angles in the areas that he was not good at, and he had to develop the right side well to lay a good foundation for the development of left-handed three-pointers after the upgrade of "left and right bows".
After the training at 4 o'clock, Sun Ce took a shower, and at 4:10 Lily Collins came to the arena and picked up Sun Ce to go to the restaurant together, and made an appointment to have dinner with Duncan and Duncan's new girlfriend tonight.
When it was close to 5 o'clock, I arrived at the restaurant where I had made an appointment, and I was led by the waiter to the reserved place.
After a while, a man with a hairstyle that constantly attracted the sound of pictures came to the restaurant with a tall young woman with a plump upper body.
"I'm rubbing! How did Duncan's hairstyle aesthetic improve so much? Is this really going to lead the fashion? ”
Sun Ce watched Duncan cut his hair short, and shaved it about two centimeters wide from the temple back, connected to the other temple, and the bottom was a short inch, because it was curly, the short inch was close to the scalp, which looked very comfortable, and the top was permed, and the hair of ten centimeters or so seemed to be straightened first, and then made into the desired curvature, as if it was highlighted one by one, and the color of the gradient color looked very textured......
"Hi, Lord."
“……”
Duncan's greeting was too succinct, so concise that Sun Ce and Lily Collins didn't know how to react.
Fortunately, the young woman next to Duncan then greeted: "Hello Lily, hello Lord, I'm Vanessa, Tim's girlfriend. ”
"Vanessa ......"
Sun Ce and Lily Collins were stunned for a moment when they heard the name, and they both looked at Duncan at the same time, then at the woman named Vanessa, and then at Duncan......
Ignoring this detail, Lily Collins chatted with Duncan's new girlfriend, who might be called Vanessa Duncan in the future.
It's not the first contact, Duncan is the same in private, as usual, and it is estimated that there will be no reaction to a slap.
Sun Ce and Duncan were in charge of eating.
Sun Ce felt that Duncan was really a very special player, and the more he came into contact with him, the more special he felt.
Asking the team if they would like to let his family do the team charter seems to be true...... I got a new girlfriend and brought it out to show off right away!
Duncan didn't say a few words during the whole dinner, but Lily Collins took out Duncan's girlfriend's bottom cover in three or two clicks.
Vanessa Macias, is the name of Duncan's new girlfriend.
Duncan knew Vanessa when he watched The Amazing Race last year, and after the divorce, after the season, Duncan "chased stars", and it happened that Vanessa was a fan of Duncan, so Duncan asked fans to go to the hotel to grass powder......
Sun Ce didn't expect Duncan to be even more evil than he imagined! There's such a thing as hay powder!
The dinner was generally pleasant, Duncan didn't talk much, Sun Ce was shocked by Duncan's behavior of grass powder, mainly because he really had nothing to talk about with Duncan, let alone with other girlfriends.
After dinner, Duncan was still shopping with his new girlfriend, and looking at the back of the car where Sun Ce and Lily Collins left, Duncan thought of last year's playoff loss.
The new season is coming, Duncan clenched his fists, and this time, there is no way to fail again!
……
……
On October 31st, the day of the regular season opener arrived!
There is an absolute favourite match in the East and West tonight.
In the West, the defending champion Grizzlies host the Spurs.
In the East, it's the Miami Heat's home game against the Brooklyn Nets.
In fact, there are a total of 7 games today, but the attention is all on these two games.
When Sun Ce arrived at the stadium at 8 o'clock this morning, he saw a brand new poster over the stadium!
It was Randolph who stood in the middle, Battier and Nash were shaved out of the poster, and Klay Thompson and Paul George entered the poster.
The new season has to have a new atmosphere, and the team has a new poster, which means that the role of the team's players has changed.
This is the official voice of the team and represents the increased importance of Klay Thompson and Paul George in the team.
Sun Ce felt that this was very important, he was very impressed by the Celtics in the original time and space, and got Irving, but Irving didn't suppress the ability of young people, and the Celtics team was also hesitant to correct who was the boss, which led to civil strife in the team.
Some things that seem to be controversial, such as Tony Allen's not being in the team poster, are actually very important, and the status of the team of the five of them was determined from the beginning!
