Chapter 254: The Hibernators
For the ranking, there is one more unpleasant!
That's Kevin Durant.
He was a little higher in Sports Illustrated, at No. 20, and slightly higher in ESPN, at No. 18.
But no matter which one it is, the gap between him and Yi Jianlian is at least 5 places.
How could I be worse than him?
I've been training hard for another off-season!
I couldn't have said anything worse than him this year!
"Kevin, are you hiding in the locker room again and scrolling through Twitter?"
“……”
Durant glanced back at Westbrook, and there was another one behind him, with a cute expression, a beard that can only be seen in Chinese opera, and the kind of "wahahahahaha" that laughed.
This is the Thunder's rookie this year, James Harden!
"Kevin likes to scroll through Twitter, huh?"
"Well, I also care a lot about what the fans say, I used to lose to Yi He and he had to practice until midnight!"
"It's really miserable~"
"Well, fortunately now that you're here too, we can help Kevin avenge together, and I don't want to see him alone anymore......"
"Russell, I'm hungry, get me a burger!"
Kevin Durant listened to these two goods chatting about his troubles as if no one was around, and finally couldn't help it!
"James, go ahead, buy one for me by the way!" Westbrook patted Harden on the shoulder.
Harden: ???
It turns out that you are such a second brother!

Memphis Grizzlies.
FedEx Arena, Head Coach's Office.
Hollins looked at the list of Grizzlies players on the computer in front of him, and his face was solemn.
Last January, he took over as Grizzlies head coach, the third time he took over the position, as early as when the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver, he served once, and he should have been used to it a long time ago, but he was still very nervous, and his heart was going on a battle between heaven and man.
Zach Randolph!
Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace's biggest takeaway this summer.
has strength, but a bad temper and the ability to cause trouble off the field are also quite a headache!
He didn't know if he should give this guy a chance to prove himself.
"Huh?"
What Hollins found, "Is this year a contract year?" ”
That's it!
The light in Hollins' eyes changed, and he finally had an idea, and with a click of the mouse, he added Zachrandolph's name to the starting lineup.
"OK, it's done!"
Point guard Mike Conley, shooting guard O.J. Mayo, small forward Rudy Gay, power forward Zach Randolph, center Marc Gasol!
The Grizzlies' starting lineup is out.

"Hey, Grant! You just looked great off that little bit! ”
"Ha, Amare, you know, I've always been great, and now I'm even better!"
At the West Jersey Arena, the Suns' closed training camp was in full swing, and Stoudeyer was training his lower limbs, and when he saw that Grant Hill had just completed a beautiful quick down, he immediately shouted, and head coach Gentry glanced at him: "Amare, you need to stay focused!" ”
“OK,OK!” Xiao Si nodded again and again, but he couldn't hold back, and said to Gentry, "Coach, you know, I haven't played for half a season!" I can't wait to play! ”
"Man, then you should exercise more and protect your own body!" Gentry replied.
"Don't worry! Coach, I know what you're worried about, but with me and Steve, you're definitely not going to get out of class! ”
The Suns have fired two head coaches in the past two years, and Kentry has survived those two to get on the spot.
"......" The corners of Gentry's mouth twitched, and he said to the trainer who was guiding Xiao Si's training on the side: "Amare is too easy, add two more groups!" ”
"Oh, No~"
"Poof, hahaha!" Richardson, who was practicing projection on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Gentry's words.
"Hey, guys, please get your attitude right, we're ranked 20th by ESPN, dozens of bottoms! I don't think we're that bad! ”
Gentry shouted, just this sentence, the Suns guys, especially Xiao Si, their whole faces became serious, and they began to squat silently.
Looks like it's time to start training in earnest!
"Alvin, believe me, we will definitely shock the whole league again in the new season!"
Steve Nash, who had just finished the return sprint practice, slowly breathed and said, "Just like in '05!" ”
The 05~06 season was the season when the Suns' "Kombat Whirlwind" shocked the league for the first time.
Last season's general manager Steve Kerr, well, was either a duplicate name, or the later head coach of the Warriors, who traded Marion for O'Neal and wanted to change the position, and it turned out that Steve Kerr was a sand sculpture with too many ideas, Nash and Xiaosi's skills were half scrapped, and they caught up with the injury tide, and both of them were reimbursed for the season.
This season, Gentry officially took the position and announced that he would switch to "bombardment" again.
Steve Nash is confident that he will lead this Suns team to recreate the "Kombat Whirlwind" of the year!
Bet on his honor as a two-time regular season MVP!

Charlotte Bobcat.
A team that has never made the playoffs since its inception.
This once made Charlotte fans who love the NBA despair.
Fortunately, this year's Bobcats ushered in some exciting changes - Michael Jordan, the greatest player in NBA history, officially became a shareholder of the Bobcats, and then the greatest player used his energy to invite Larry Brown, who was forced to shut down for three years, to return to the helm!
For the old coach, although many fans are a little worried - a strong desire to control, a flawed personality, plus a lack of use of rookies.
Especially if you don't like to use rookies!
In the Pistons ruined Milicic alive.
In the 04 Olympics, it was also the marginalization of James, Anthony and Wade of the "03 Golden Generation", no matter what the situation was, just don't use it.
Tim Duncan was so angry that he announced directly after this Olympics that he would "never play for the national team again!" ”
But he does have the ability, and the coach who can get 1,000 wins in the NBA is only 9th so far!
And he's also a miracle guy, especially bringing an underdog into the playoffs, which has always been his forte!
They hope that Larry Brown can pull off another miracle and allow the Bobcats to break through the embarrassment of zero.
And this ......
That's what Larry Brown himself wants!
It's been three years since that turmoil three years ago, and he hasn't wanted to return to the NBA all the time in those three years, and now he's finally back, but he knows that this is his last chance, and if the Bobcats can't play any results this year, then the entire NBA will have no place for him.
Hiss!
At the thought of this, Larry Brown couldn't help frowning a little.
A good hand of cards is played poorly!
"It's okay, take your time, there must be a way!"
Larry Brown put his whole mind back on the Bobcats' lineup and began to build his Charlotte Bobcats in his head.
