Days in pre-season camp always go by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's already early October.

The streets on both sides of Link's house are already covered with maple leaves. This heralds the end of the frenzied summer and the beginning of a new one.

With less than a month to go before the start of the regular season, the preseason is also in full swing.

In this year's preseason, Joggle and Snyder continued to play an experimental lineup.

While the Grizzlies haven't changed much this year, it's not like to say that the entire team is exactly the same as last year.

First of all, Mark. Gasol has made huge strides on the offensive end. This season, he has made a qualitative leap in offensive efficiency, whether in the middle distance or in the low post. And, again, without compromising on the quality of the defense.

ESPN previously placed Gasol 24th among the top 50 superstars in the new season, which can be said to be very predictable.

However, Randolph's offense is much weaker than before, but given Randolph's rising age, his offensive decline is expected and acceptable.

In this regard, Jogel's approach is to increase the proportion of Gasol's offensive shots. At the same time, Tobias was added. Time for Harris to appear!

Tobias. Harris's performance in the preseason has been a pleasant surprise, and his inconsistent three-point shooting last season has made a qualitative leap this season. This allows him to stay on the pitch as an off-ball attacking point, and his own on-ball attack and low-post attack are not left behind.

This is undoubtedly good news for the Grizzlies, who are short of shooters.

Harris's biggest weakness now is not his three-point shot, but his low-post defense. Harris, who plays in the No. 3 position, is still a little at a loss when he encounters the strong No. 4 position. However, in this day and age, most teams are playing small lineups, which undoubtedly greatly disguises Harris's shortcomings.

Of course, Link wasn't surprised by Harris's progress. Because he had known for a long time that Harris could be as good as he was now.

If Harris's progress is gratifying, then the Grizzlies' other bench, Jimmy. Butler's excellent performance was exactly what everyone expected.

In the preseason training camp, everyone found out that Butler can now play back and forth with Link. The forward, who entered the league a year later than Link, is finally starting to cash in on his talent and sweat.

In the preseason, when Link didn't play much, Butler became the Grizzlies' leading scorer with an average of 21.2 points per game.

You know, Butler's average points per game last season was only a little over 10 points! In the first two seasons, the average points per game were even more undoubled.

Look at Jimmy. Butler is getting better and better, and Joggle has also discussed with Iguodala, hoping that Iguodala can play as a substitute and give Butler some room to play at the beginning of the regular season. If it doesn't work out, Iguodala will be replaced back in the starting line-up.

Iguodala gladly accepted the manager's offer.

Iguodala wasn't the kind of person who loved to fight, and when people wanted him to be the star of the game, he wasn't interested in being the boss, let alone now.

As long as he can help the team win, playing as a substitute is not a problem for him at all.

Also, Vince. Carter's arrival also provided a more secure offense to the Grizzlies' bench. Formerly Nick. Although Yang occasionally has convulsions, his offensive consistency is indeed a little less interesting. When you are on time, you will die, and when you are iron, you will be basically useless.

Although Miller is stable, he basically has no offensive means except for three points. Moreover, Miller can only catch and shoot, not hold the ball and shoot.

And Carter's arrival is more like a synthesis of Nick. Young and Miller. Although he rarely breaks out, he delivers a consistent output in every game. Although he is nearly 40 years old, he can also surprise people with the occasional singles with the ball. In addition, Carter's passing ability is also beyond Miller's reach.

The "demigod" has long since returned to the human world, but if you think that he is willing to be mediocre, you are very wrong. On the bench, he's pretty much the Grizzlies' anchor.

It seems that the Grizzly Bear's personnel have not changed much. But in reality, the structure of the Grizzlies' combat power has changed dramatically.

Joggle and Snyder frantically experimented with all sorts of combinations, and the Grizzlies also made great progress in the preseason, and finally got an excellent record of 7 wins in 8 games!

The Grizzlies' dominance is still terrifying, and they are on their way to a three-peat!

However, fans were unimpressed by the Grizzlies' excellent record in the preseason.

"The fact that the Grizzlies played all underdogs in the preseason doesn't say anything, and it doesn't hide the fact that Grizzlies players are inflated."

"The Grizzlies players have really well in the preseason. Butler is averaging 20 points per game. But past experience has taught us that preseason is not to be confused with the regular season. ”

"It's just a couple of preseason games, and that's not enough to judge the Grizzlies' strength. Whether the Grizzlies can win the championship this year, we will know after watching the opening game. ”

Link couldn't agree more. It is true that the preseason should not be confused with the regular season, and a good preseason game does not mean that the regular season can be successful.

But Link can be assured that the Grizzlies' form in the preseason will not shrink much in the regular season.

Many people thought that the Grizzlies, who did not make major reinforcements, would inevitably decline in strength as they got older.

But in reality, Butler, Harris and others have already taken over greater responsibility. The Grizzlies' overall strength is actually stronger than last season!

What's more, even Link himself has made a lot of progress!

As early as the day before the start of the preseason, Link, through his unremitting efforts, had already filled the progress bar in front of his eyes and won the 99-00 season Grant. Hill's power!

Link is almost crazy about this, and Butler finally learned through Link's offensive routine this summer, but finds that he can't defend against Link now.

Link's huge improvement in strength made it almost impossible for him to find an opponent in team training. Even if it's Tony. Aaron, with Link helpless.

The league's fastest first step, a healthy ankle, all-around prowess and a restless, incessantly score-hungry heart all made Link more dangerous than ever.

It's just that in the preseason, Link didn't show up.

When the regular season begins, Link will use his power to prove to the world that "a team can't just rely on reinforcements if it wants to be strong." ”

While the Grizzlies were on a winning streak, the Cleveland Cavaliers were also playing well in the preseason.

At first, there was also concern that the Cavaliers' possession might not be balanced and that a ball would not be enough.

But after the preseason, the Cavaliers did not have the slightest problem with the distribution of the ball. Irving and James can take turns possessing the ball, while Love can help the team even when they don't need the ball.

NBA rookie coach David. Blatter has done a good job of tackling the Cavaliers' offensive problems, and the five-time Israeli Coach of the Year, EuroLeague Coach of the Year '14, as well as the six-time Israeli Champions Cup, five-time Israeli League Champion, one-time Euroleague champion, '09, '10 European Championship and '08, '12 Olympic runner-up are no fuel-efficient lamp.

Blatter is indeed a rookie coach in the NBA, but he is not a "rookie" at all, and this guy has long been a prominent player in Europe.

At first, everyone was worried that the American coach, who had been in the European basketball scene for many years, would not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. But he proved to be incredibly adaptable. As soon as you get started, you can take the Big Three, and there is no pressure.

Under his leadership, the Cleveland Cavaliers had an even more exaggerated preseason record than the Grizzlies, and they played a wave of 10 wins!

The new Big Three, coupled with a capable coach, has convinced countless Cavaliers fans that they have booked this year's championship! With just one game, the Cavaliers were able to expose the Grizzlies in their original form and make the unfair list of the top 50 stars of the new season a shame for the Grizzlies!

So, the day before the start of the high-profile NBA regular season opener, ESPN came up with a resounding headline for the game, "Will the Cavaliers announce the change of ownership of the championship in the first game of the new season?" ”

Many fans agreed, believing that the Grizzlies simply can't match the new Cavaliers, who are incredibly strong from player to coach.

In response, Link posted a message on social media. And just fifteen minutes later, Link's words became popular all over the world.

"I must remind you that a champion is always a champion until he falls! We have the heritage of a champion, the dignity of a champion, the experience of a champion and most importantly, the heart of a champion! The regular season hasn't started yet? Cleveland people want to win a championship? ”

After this passage, Link did not forget to add a "hehe" smile emoji.

In the first step on the road to a treble, Link could not afford to fail.
