As the new season slowly approaches, many things have been heated up again, the biggest of which is that Durant joined the 73-win team. This is so salivating that ESPN even directly said that this is the Magic's O'Neal directly joining the Bulls. Don't say it, with O'Neal's identity back then, he really doesn't necessarily have to be as good as Durant. At that time, Ao Fat had not yet founded the Lakers dynasty, and there was no MVP, but Durant was the owner of several scoring champions + MVPs, which is equivalent to the combination of 2 peak MVPs, and the power of this can be imagined.

The latest ESPN player rankings are out, and the tenth is Paul. George, the ninth is James. Harden, the eighth is Chris. Paul, the seventh is Anthony. Davis, sixth is Russell. Westbrook, fifth is Kawai. Leonard, fourth is Kevin. Durant, the third is Stephen. Curry, the second is LeBron. James, the first is ...... Lakers Don Dive.

This is the first time that Tang Qian has topped ESPN's player rankings, because of last year's madness, 16-0 loss, plus the Cavaliers who defeated James in the head-to-head finals, including personal data is also invincible suppression, so this list basically belongs to ESPN and has no way to do it if you don't want to be ranked like this. Even if they liked James again, there was no way to rank him first. It was also the first time in so many years that James had lost the top spot in the pre-season rankings.

For this, the bleachers made it very clear, and the big headline was, NO.1, a new era is coming.

The five major point guards are Curry, Paul, Wei Shao, Wall, Lowry, and Irving unfortunately lost the selection, which also made Irving feel very comfortable.

The top five scoring guards are, Harden, Thompson, DeRozan, Bradley. Bill, Wade.

The five big and small forwards are, James, Durant, Leonard, George, and Anthony.

The five big forwards are, Davis, Love, Green, Griffin, and Millsap.

The five centers are, Tang Qian, Cousins, Andre. Drummond, Downs, Howard.

Howard is now barely at the bottom, and if he can't produce satisfactory results this season, it is estimated that next season, he will completely leave the ranks of the top five centers in the league. Even now, he is more of a book. There is nothing surprising about this Tang Qian, because this form reached the top last year, and the thing that made him feel quite accomplished this year was that he made ESPN bow his head and began to have to admit his position as the first person in the league.

At this point, Tang Qian's position as the number one person in the world has been publicly recognized, but whether he can sit firmly and whether he can sit still, it will take another look. As the preseason approached, the pre-game training camp at the beginning of the season also began, and when everyone returned to Qi, everyone suddenly found that the boss of the Lakers, this No. 29, was special...... Stronger again!!

No. 29, who was already very strong, now looks even more terrifying, and that body is a typical American and European giant. People were stunned when they saw it. Tang Qian's tonnage has now increased to 323.9 pounds, according to his own meaning, it is not the final number, because there will be half a month, and he will continue to improve until it stabilizes at about 325 pounds.

In the end, Zhang Dashuai reached 327 pounds at his peak that year, and he should have no problem.

Depend on...... 325 pounds, still maintaining exercise energy, you, you're afraid you're going to heaven???

And Tang Qian's strength has also been improved accordingly, and so has his physical fitness. Brown was surprised that he was able to use the hook hand very smoothly with this oriental center. It seems that the left hand is also trying to feel the shot. This guy is really...... It's amazing.

This kind of aggressiveness and drive makes Larry. Brown put an end to his worries, he was afraid that Tang Qian would be complacent, and gradually become arrogant and lawless. As a result, people don't think that a champion is a thing at all. Tang Qian said in front of everyone: This season, what we have to do is still win the championship, and we don't have to think about the rest.

I know you're feeling a little nervous when you hear that Durant has joined the 73-win team, but that's okay because ...... It doesn't matter to anyone, us, as long as we win. And I don't think they got Durant, they are really invincible, they haven't fought yet, everything is hard to say. When I look at their inside line, it's a scumbag.

Everyone smiled slightly, because Tang Qian is indeed qualified to say this, let alone the Warriors, any team's interior line and the Lakers are opposed, how many can not suffer? To be able to play an equal match with No. 29 is to ask grandpa to tell grandma, thank God. Under normal circumstances, it is nothing more than to see how much abuse is done.

Larry. Brown also nodded and said: That's it, we are the defending champions this season, we have created a myth of an unbeaten playoff game, the Warriors are very strong, but we have to play to know. Don't be afraid.

The new players came to get to know each other, and after getting to know each other, everyone came to run in and run-in, and strive to start the preseason with the determination to defend the title.

The Lakers' salary this season is not tight, swallowing a few newcomers, but the contract is not too big, and if they don't sign them, they will even have no line. This is really not to tease you, the total salary of these people is only more than 100 million. It seems like a lot, but don't forget, this is the first season of the contract explosion, how much has the salary cap been raised? So that's not much at all. There is no need to pay the luxury tax, which is also something that the Lakers have done more and more for so many seasons to make other owners jealous. After all, now the luxury tax has also changed, the more you pay, you look at the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers have paid 70 million dollars in luxury tax in the first season since the 14-15 season, and 54 million in the 15-16 season, and they have to pay more than 30 million or so in the luxury tax this season even if the salary cap rises sharply. This is really arrogant.

In the past three years, the Cavaliers alone have to pay more than 150 million in taxes, so there is a saying that if you want to win the championship, you must pay taxes. But what about the Lakers? Actually...... Didn't arrive? I've signed several contracts in a row, and I'm still missing, so why don't I make other bosses blush. These are all real money.

The funniest thing is that after James chose to leave the Cavaliers, he actually ...... Did you know that the Cavaliers still have to pay the luxury tax? That's funny enough. So, Irving is leaving, not only to leave James' shadow, but also to avoid the Cavaliers.

On the day of the game, there were some players who integrated quickly, such as Gasol, who originally wanted to play at a slow pace, and now that the Lakers are, he is naturally very comfortable. Look at his stats for the slow-paced team of the Bulls last season, almost 17+11+4+2 strong stats, excluding the basic interior data of 17+11, as well as 2 basket shields and 4 assists per game, which are all priceless. After Gasol entered the bench lineup, the bench lineup has risen a lot in terms of offensive and defensive strength and organizational tandem. Gasol was also happy to play at a slower pace, saying that he did not make a mistake this time.

Don't forget, last year's Gasol, that was a real All-Star player, 17+11+4+2 is definitely fierce and all-round, he is now playing as a bench for the Lakers, you think about it. Don't be funny, this improvement is substantial. It's just that Gasol is not so famous, and with his age, everyone is a bit symbolically forgotten. It's nowhere near as bombastic and violent as Durant going to the Warriors.

The most important thing is that my sister-in-law is really ...... this offseason Developed a three-point shot!!

Although it's hard to say what the top shot is for, but the big vacancy projection, that accuracy, is really refreshing.

In fact, Gasol had already tried to develop three-point shooting in his first season with the Bulls, and he didn't shoot many shots that season, averaging only 0.3 per game, but shooting more than 46.2% from the field. But in the end, the base is too small, it's hard to explain anything, and next season, the number of shots will be directly increased to an average of 1+ per game. The hit rate is also around 35%. This season, he is more accurate and shoots more, he went to the Spurs in the original time and space, averaging more than 1.6 three-pointers per game, which is only 20+ minutes of data, if it is a standard 36 minutes, he will shoot nearly 2.5 three-pointers per game.

Hit percentage, guess what...... It's not high, that's 53.8%.

Your sister, how much? Exactly!!

And Gasol has stabilized his three-point shot in the next few years, which shows that he is not accidental, which is very powerful. How do you say that, by the way, it's not as delicious as dumplings, but it's fun...... Sister-in-law. It's great, sister-in-law, give you a thumbs up. That way, the Lakers can have one more outside shooting spot.

Coupled with Butler's house, after a whole season of three-point iron playing last season, he finally remembered Tang Qian's instructions, and began to practice a three-point shooting in the offseason. It's also a place for the Lakers to breathe a sigh of relief. Butler's three-point shot was inaccurate last season, but he was deliberately targeted, but fortunately, the rest of the playoffs went berserk, such as Josh. Smith, that's why the question doesn't seem too obvious.

This season, this problem is finally not a problem.

Let's see who dares to let Butler go.

Tang Qian's inner line space can also be further liberated.

Kill two birds with one stone.

And when Tang Qian used The.Finger-Roll, that is, to pick the basket sideways, and the overlord picked the pulley, the whole audience was surprised, this, this guy, how will this guy defend in the future. The offensive skills are more varied. It's not that accidental, directly turning this offensive technique into a conventional weapon. Sure enough, people are more popular than people! Is it now that he's a stream of physical violence that is starting to blend with the flow of insider technology? In this way, it is estimated that there is no one in the No. 5 position of this alliance who will not suffer.

Forget it, the Lakers No. 29 also used an extremely stable right-handed hook from time to time, not only the previous low-post board, but now he, from all angles, in all kinds of confrontations, can be sacrificed, inside means and lethality, and go further.

Gasol was directly slaughtered by Tang Qian, I don't know how many points he scored, anyway, Gasol was about to be spit up.

Please, it's hot, I'm an All-Star inside last season, averaging 2+ blocks per game, okay, are you so ...... It really doesn't give me face at all.

It's too violent, and if you want to directly rely on the sinking center of gravity to stabilize the chassis and resist like last season, it's completely useless, because now if you do this, Tang Qian will suddenly come to a The.Finger-Roll or suddenly come to a right-handed hook, so you can't prevent ordinary defense. Therefore, even if there is no reinforcement this year, in fact, the strength of the Lakers has improved linearly.

In this way, everyone's confidence is more abundant.

Warriors, we're afraid of you.

When the Lakers were conducting their internal pre-game training camp, the most discussed by the outside world was naturally not the Purple and Gold Army, but the Warriors, who were known as the "Universe Brave". How to beat the Warriors??? This has also become the most discussed topic in the basketball circle now. Including American newspapers and major TV shows, it seems that they are also excited about the establishment of "Cosmic Brave", because in this way, the Lakers will not be able to dominate the world, and it will be difficult to defend the title on paper.

When the Lakers are eliminated, they will inevitably fight back.

. The T day group program also analyzed a wave, and felt that the most capable way to prevent this lineup at present was to change the defense indefinitely. It's just that now that Barnes has been replaced by Durant, and the five-small lineup has become a real death five, can it still work? The addition of this kind of star is not a simple one-plus-one problem, and Durant is simply the most needed candidate for the Warriors right now.

When the tactics are not executed, they can ignore any defensive deadball attackers.

That's why ESPN is now shouting that the Warriors have no shortcomings. On paper, it does look terrible.

Kenny. Smith and Barkley agree that if they want to beat this "Cosmic Warriors", they can only work the inside, because the Warriors also sacrificed Bogut, and their interior strength has actually dropped significantly. How do you keep the Warriors away from the perimeter in this situation? How to increase the rounds of inside confrontation is the key point.

Reggie. Miller's point is that he needs a big man who can play both inside and outside, who can play on the defensive end and keep up with the athletic play, and such a player can cause a lot of problems for the Warriors. Last season, the Lakers and Bucks both caused big problems for the Warriors. Of course, the Warriors are stronger this season, so we still need to see again.

O'Neill said: The inside line, or the inside line, all it takes is a strong inside line to get everything done. Like me.

As he spoke, he waved his already fat arm, which looked a little funny.

On the Internet, God replied countless times:

Whatever dies has to die with backbone. When the season ends early, let's go through the motions. What self-hypnotizing Warriors are not strong...... Anyway, I can't make people laugh and cry. However, one thing is certain, that is, the vast majority of fans now actually think that the Warriors are the strongest in the league. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to say such funny things.

Although it is a complaining remark, if you taste it carefully, you will still find that this is actually "bearish" in nature.

Look at the decline of the whole league.

The Big Three? What is the era of the Big Three, and now people are directly Big Four.

Some people also say that this is another node event in the era of huddles, and after that, maybe it will really enter the era of crazy huddles.

Even the Lakers are not favored. The latest release of the 30 team power list can also illustrate this problem. The Golden State Warriors, for their part, are firmly in first place. The Warriors' first preseason game was also quite powerful, and they spent the Raptors, a powerhouse in the East, at halftime, and went straight into garbage time. That's what it feels like...... Before we could exert our strength, you fell. Yes, that's the feeling. It's amazing how strong the Warriors are.

The Lakers' first preseason game was held with the Sacramento Kings, before the game, as the defending champion and now recognized as the first person in the league, most of the Lakers could not escape the siege and interview of reporters, Tang Qian was not ambiguous, and said directly:

The Warriors are very strong, and I congratulate them on getting Durant, but we Lakers have only one goal and mission this season, to defend the title. The rest, none of which has anything to do with us. Nor is it on our radar.

What the? Do you think the Warriors are stronger? Yes, I'll see you then, remember what you said.

In June of this year, look at who is standing at the top of the west, you can remember it for me.

Four-star warriors? us!
