According to the power rankings posted by ESPN, the Los Angeles Lakers ranked first.

Here's what they say about this year's Lakers.

A team with O'Neal, Kobe, Malone and Payton, the most fantastic Super F4 in NBA history, the league's active No. 1 center, No. 1 scoring guard, the top five power forwards in history, and the best playmaking guard in defense.

In addition, their head coach is Phil Jackson, a 9-time meritorious coach who has led the team to win the championship.

If they don't win the championship, who will win the championship?

Second place, Dallas Mavericks.

Check out their lineup!

Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Michael Finley, Antoine Jamison, Antoine Walker!

They have five All-Star players, and if it weren't for the presence of the Lakers F4, the Mavericks would definitely be the strongest team on paper this year.

In terms of strength, only the Mavericks can cause some trouble for the Lakers.

Third place, defending champions, San Antonio Spurs.

The retirement of "Admiral" David Robinson and the departure of starting scoring guard "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson cast a shadow over the defending champions' new season.

But Duncan is still around, and the growth of the French sports car Parker and the Argentine demon knife Ginobili also makes the prospects of the defending champions limitless.

It's hard to predict exactly how far the Spurs will go in the new season.

However, never underestimate the heart of a championship.

Fourth, Minnesota Timberwolves.

Four All-Stars, Garnett, Cassel, Sprewell, Szebiak.

Don't underestimate this Timberwolves team, they have a good chance of being spoilers in the West.

Of course, the premise is that the "madman" Sprewell does not go crazy, this guy even dares to pinch the head coach's neck, which is a time bomb.

Fifth place, Detroit Pistons.

Finally an Eastern team has emerged.

The Pistons are a team that started out on defense, and the most famous star on the team is Ben Wallace, the best defensive player.

This is an iron-blooded team, but without the presence of superstars, this team is destined to not go far.

6th to 10th place.

Kings, Grizzlies, Nets, Pacers, Rockets.

In the entire top 10, there are seven teams in the west, and only three teams in the east, which shows how obvious the situation is that the west is strong and the east is weak.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, 24 out of 29 teams.

This also means that basketball critics are not optimistic about the strength of the Cavaliers this season, believing that the Cavaliers still cannot make the playoffs and are still a lottery team.

Ye Feng looked at this ranking and shook his head silently.

It seems that not only the experts in China, but also these basketball people in the United States are all mallets.

In fact, at the end of the game, the rankings of each team do not match this power list at all.

The championship was won by the Pistons, who have always been unfavorable to experts.

On the contrary, the Lakers, who were the most powerful on the surface, only won one game in the hands of the Pistons, were defeated 1:4, and then fell apart, entering the Lakers era of Kobe Bryant's one-man city.

However, the prediction for the Cleveland Cavaliers is quite accurate.

In his previous life, James did not make the playoffs in his rookie season, and in his second season, he was robbed of the last spot by the Nets with the same record due to division problems.

Missing the playoffs for two years in a row may be why Gooden Gander sold a controlling stake in the Cavaliers to Dan Gilbert.

But now, Ye Feng is in this team, and everything is different.

"Reaching the playoffs in his rookie season also seems to be a good experience."

Ye Feng silently clenched his fists.

********

On the evening of October 22, after the game against the Wizards, Paul gave the team three days off.

Because the regular season won't start until October 28.

And on the day of the game, the Cavaliers didn't play. On October 29, they will face the Sacramento Kings, the first opponent of the season.

During the holidays, everyone was going to relax, but James proposed a three-day special training session in his family's basketball arena.

The veteran players were naturally not very interested, but none of the newcomers in the team were absent, and all of them went.

James, Capo, Gerani, Meme, Darius, Boozer......

Ye Feng will naturally not be absent from such a thing, this is not only an opportunity for promotion, but also an opportunity to get along with his teammates.

On the morning of October 23, all 7 people who participated in the special training arrived, first moved their bodies, and then practiced daily shooting training and switchback running training......

Ye Feng noticed that there had been a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes standing quietly on the sidelines, and his eyes were focused on himself most of the time.

Ye Feng thought it was a personal trainer invited by James, so he didn't ask too much.

After an hour of training, James suddenly proposed that since it was a special training organized by the players, it would be better to have a group bullfight instead of being as rigid as the team training.

Everyone naturally has no opinion, don't look at the big gap in the status of NBA players, but in the original university, amateur league, and national team, which of these people is not the core or main force, they are still very confident in their own abilities.

7 people, divided into four groups.

The first group, James VS Capono, there is no suspense, Kapono basically didn't touch the ball much, and the game ended 10:1.

In the second group, Gerani vs Darius, the suspense is also very small, after all, bullfighting is a big loss for interior players with weak dribbling ability. At 10:4, Darius advanced.

In the third group, Ye Feng vs Mime, the guard plays the center, and it is played from the three-point line, and there is no suspense. At 10:4, Ye Feng advanced.

In the fourth group, Boozer alone advanced directly.

Round 2.

First James VS Darius, Darius defended very well, which caused great trouble to James. However, Darius himself was a little worried about his offensive ability, and he couldn't score when he defended it. This bullfight lasted for a long time, and in the end it was James who won 10:6.

followed by Ye Feng vs Boozer, Boozer's pace is really slow, and it can be okay compared to the inside players, but in front of Ye Feng, who has a speed of 90 points, it is not enough to see. At 10:3, Ye Feng advanced.

In the end, it became a heads-up between James and Ye Feng.

Ye Feng relied on his invincible free throw shooting rate to gain priority offense.

Before starting, James suddenly whispered to Ye Feng: "Ye, in today's game, you have to play 100% of your strength, no!" 120% is fine. ”

Ye Feng was a little inexplicable, but he didn't refute it.

Going head-to-head with James, if you don't use all your combat power, you will lose ugly.

In this bullfight, Ye Feng played very focused, and James also defended very seriously, and the two of them were like playing an official game.

Every time Ye Feng made a shot, he would be pressed by James's body, which was very difficult.

In the end, Ye Feng played extraordinarily, but still lost.

10：6。

This is the best result of Ye Feng and James bullfighting.

At the end of the day's training, everyone dispersed, and before Ye Feng left, James suddenly grabbed Ye Feng.

"Hey! Ye, remember the guy in the suit in the morning? That's the top of Nike. He is here today, I spent a lot of effort to invite him, and he is also very satisfied with you, and should sign an endorsement contract with you. ”

“......”

Ye Feng didn't react.

"Now, it's time for you to go to an agent. If you wish, you can also seek the help of Mr. Riczy Paul, who is my agent, and I am sure he will be more than willing to be your agent as well. ”

James said.

In the end, Ye Feng did not directly promise James.

James is indeed kind, but Ye Feng doesn't want to accept too much favor from him, otherwise there will definitely be times of embarrassment in the future.

After all, the hands are short, and the mouth is soft.

That night, Ye Feng called Ye Ni, who is an economics student and should know someone in this area.

Ye Ni promised that there was no problem, and she would definitely find a satisfactory agent for Ye Feng.

In addition, Ye Ni also told Ye Feng that her uncle's research on those prescriptions seemed to be a little eyebrow-raising, and he would soon surprise Ye Feng.

"Is this the reward of the system, a piece of good luck?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but think.
