Chapter 848 [Depressed High Heels, Unveiling War Spurs]
The Suns' record is not the best, and the Rockets have won all of their preseason games, which was completed on the premise that Yao Ming only played 20 minutes per game.
The Rockets' total salary is also well controlled, as veteran Juwan Howard's junk contract has finally expired. Last season, he was only a marginal person in the No. 4 position in the team, but he had to get an annual salary of 6.88 million.
Howard's luck is really not comparable to ordinary people, ordinary ability, ordinary data, he actually signed two premium contracts, earned $150 million and won a championship ring just by playing an annual salary. He doesn't plan to retire yet, and the veteran joined the Bobcats, an underdog in the East, with a base salary.
The Rockets have retained last season's core and poached James Posey, plus improved shooting guard Afflalo, and the goal of the new season is to successfully defend the title.
In the first official power list, the Rockets ranked first, the Suns second, and the Cavaliers and Celtics ranked 3rd and 4th respectively.
The Cavaliers have a 6-1 record in the preseason, James and Boozer have become more confident after winning Olympic gold medals, and Mo Williams also has the potential to become an All-Star.
It is worth mentioning that the Warriors also achieved a 5-2 record in the preseason, and the addition of Brand has strengthened the Warriors' interior strength, just like the original Cavaliers' Ilgoskas and Boozer partnered on the inside, the two can not only pull out to cover, catch the ball and shoot, but also force the restricted area.
The Warriors' weakness is still outside shooting, only the point guard position can shoot three-pointers stably, and the other starters are mainly mid-range shots.
The Warriors are ranked 12th in the power rankings with their preseason record, and pundits are optimistic that they will make the playoffs, but they will not be ranked very high. What the Warriors can sell for next year depends on their performance this season.
Guo Xu finished the preseason, and Megan Fox finally finished filming "Transformers 2", and when she went home, she was haggard, and took off her shoes to let Guo Xu see what her feet had become.
Guo Xu felt distressed and suggested that she wear cloth shoes in the future, and don't wear high heels when she is not filming.
The scene in "Egypt" was particularly tiring, Meghan and Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Shia LaBeouf and others had to run non-stop on the wasteland.
Everyone else wears normal shoes, only Megan wears high heels, and she is tortured a lot. But this is Hollywood, in order for actresses to show off their figures, many action scenes have to wear high heels.
"Transformers 2" is a small BUG, in "Jurassic World", the heroine Bryce outran the Tyrannosaurus Rex in high heels, can you believe this thing?
If it weren't for Guo Xu saying that she wouldn't act in the next part, Megan really couldn't help but want to spray Michael Bay. Fortunately, her salary has increased to $8 million this time, which is relatively high among actresses, and her efforts have not been in vain.
It is foreseeable that this movie will definitely be a box office hit after its release, and as one of Hollywood's few actresses who has never lost at the box office, fans can blow Meghan to the sky.
The Suns didn't win the championship and could have had an extra day off, with no games on Oct. 28.
The Rockets beat the Trail Blazers 105-76 in the opener, Yao Ming shot 9-of-9 from the field to blow up Trail Blazers center Pullsbilla, and No. 7 rookie Eric Gordon was shot 0-of-4 from Prince and Sefrosha in his debut, scoring only two points from the free throw line.
If it weren't for the fact that Scola and Landry couldn't defend Aldridge and let him score 26 points, the winner would have been separated at halftime.
The Celtics got off to a dark start with a 91-95 home loss to the Cavaliers.
After bringing in Vallejo and Mo Williams, the Cavaliers became stronger on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Garnett was defended on 5-of-15 shooting from the field, scoring only 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
James' trapped defensive statistics are also average, with only 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and the Cavaliers are winning in more scoring points, with four players scoring double-doubles.
Guo Xu watched this game and felt that the Celtics were going to kneel, even if they formed the Big Three, it would be difficult for them to win the Cavaliers with one more All-Star Boozer, the same annual salary in the previous life, the inside line of the Cavaliers was Ben Wallace, and the gap was very large.
The mid-shot bandits have steadily cut two double-doubles in recent seasons and have not suffered major injuries.
Boozer had more responsibilities on his previous life with the Jazz, and Sloan, a coach who emphasized tough physical confrontation, had two major injuries. Most of the time in the Cavaliers, the ball was focused on James, and the opponent's defensive center of gravity was also attracted to James, Boozer played more easily, with many single opportunities, and was rarely trapped.
On the 29th, the Suns challenged the Spurs in their first away game.
This is the highlight of this round, the Suns were eliminated by the Spurs last season, but that was due to injury, and the league now has a chance to get revenge.
Knowing that after the first game against the Suns, Tony Parker's mood changed very badly, and he had a big head at the thought of facing Guo Xu. Even if he has a finger injury, Guo Xu's performance in the last playoffs was better than him, but fortunately, the Spurs won in the end, otherwise Parker would have to be sprayed for a summer.
Thinking of Guo Xu's energy when he played Greece in the Olympics, Parker thought that he must be the kind of person who would definitely repay him, and he would definitely go all out to play Spurs.
Predicting the outcome online, most people are optimistic about the Suns winning, only Spurs fans think the home team is better, the reason is that the Suns lineup has changed in the summer, and they are joined by some marginal people and newcomers who other teams don't want.
TNT broadcast the game live, and when the players warmed up, Barkley joked: "There are fans on the Internet who think that the Suns lineup is not as good as the Spurs and needs time to run in, I think they are either new fans or pseudo-fans who don't understand the ball." They haven't even found out what kind of person Jason Guo is? Marginal people come to play next to him and quickly become good role players who are being scrambled by other teams. ”
"The Suns changed their lineup today and weren't starters in the preseason," Smith said. ”
Suns starting five: Guo Xu, Anthony Morrow, Roy, Millsap, Stoudmire.
This is not just a change of formation, fans can't understand it, last season's marginal and a newcomer entered the starting lineup. After the Olympics, D'Antoni seems to have opened the second line of appointment and supervision, and the appointment of people has become more and more flexible.
Morrow has been in good form lately and has started him, no matter what defense, the purpose of the small lineup is to speed up and prepare to fight with the Spurs on offense. As for the mood of the two people in the core makeup photo as substitutes, it is not within D'Antoni's consideration.
Spurs starters: Parker, Bowen, Granger, Kurt Thomas, Duncan.
After years of fighting, Vicky knows the Suns' routine, and the Twin Towers or veteran Kurt Thomas can be killed by the opponent, but he doesn't want to fight the small-ball tactics as soon as he comes up, which will completely fall into the rhythm of the Suns.
Xiao Si jumped the ball and the game began.
Guo Xu received the ball and Xiao Si played a block and dismantle on the outside, attracting Thomas to change defense, Guo Xu dribbled the ball horizontally to get rid of Parker, observed the position of his teammates and distributed the ball to Millsap, who was pulled outside the three-point line on the left side.
Duncan didn't defend near the penalty area, because Xiao Si cut in the air after covering, and if he followed Millsap out of the penalty area, the others would basically be dead against Xiao Si.
Thomas is 36 years old this year, 206CM tall, weighs 104 kg, is not as tall as Xiao Si Zhuang, ** Vicky let him start, mainly because he has rich experience in the game, and his excellent mid-range shooting ability can open up space.
Last season, it was okay to let Millsap go on the periphery, but not this season. He's been working on his shooting, adding three-pointers to his arsenal in the summer.
Millsap made a three-point jumper from 70 degrees on the left and the ball went in......
