Without staying in Turkey for too long, the Dream 9 team returned to the United States with the World Championship Gold Cup, and they were greeted by the praise of the masses, especially MVP winner Kevin Durant, who faintly wanted to become a big killer in the international schedule.

Back in the U.S., it's September 15th, and the 2010 NBA schedule is just out for now, with the opener on October 5 and the Lakers and Timberwolves heading off to kick off the 2010 NBA.

At the same time, the Clippers' offseason reinforcements are basically complete, and the starting lineup is basically unchanged, with No. 5 Chris Kaman, No. 4 Blake Griffin, No. 3 Rasubatar, No. 2 Eric Gordon, and No. 1 Byron Davis.

The changes to the bench are not insignificant, first of all, the Clippers used the eighth pick in the first round to sign Al Aminu, who swayed at the No. 34 position in this year's draft.

There are also reinforcements on the wings, Ryan Gomez from the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Randy Foye, which is a huge addition to the No. 1 position, especially when Davis' form is deteriorating.

At the same time, there is another player that Griffin can see at a glance, that is, Eric Bresso, who was selected by the Thunder with the 18th pick in this year's round, and his physical fitness is also explosive, but the Thunder traded him, and the Clippers picked up this bargain; At the same time, the Clippers also signed free agent Ekdiogu and Rockets veteran Brian Cook, who did not play in the NBA last year, passed the Clippers' physical examination, and Cook will also be used as a supplement on the wing.

There are Jellon Collins from the Suns and Willie Warren, a second-round pick from the Suns, who may have to wave towels on the sidelines, one is old and the other is mediocre in talent, and the Clippers are estimated to sign it in case of emergency.

From the perspective of the lineup, it can be said that there is a big change, especially the bench lineup, the brothers who came in the second half of last season are completely temporary workers, and they all leave as soon as the season is over, which can also see a determination of the Clippers management, betting on Blake Griffin's potential and progress.

But Griffin was standing in front of a large house somewhere in Los Angeles.

"I didn't bring anything, but it's true, the invitation was too sudden, but I don't think Lao Mei should pay so much attention to the door ceremony."

It was Blake Griffin who was entangled, just a few days after arriving in Los Angeles, he received an invitation from head coach Michael Dunleavy to go to his house for dinner, and he still had respect for this very dedicated head coach Griffin, so he naturally agreed.

I didn't know that I came too hastily but forgot to buy a gift, and when Griffin's face was full of confusion, the door opened suddenly.

"It's Blake! What are you doing at the door, come in! Old Mike, Blake is here! ”

Griffin is going to be on the road now, but fortunately, the Dunleavers didn't care about this detail, the old Dunleavy home is still very warm, and it can be seen that he is usually a person who pays more attention to the quality of life.

"Please sit Blake, congratulations on your World Championship win, I think you've had a fantastic rookie season! Trust me, your rookie season will be used again and again as a benchmark to measure your rookie performance in the future. ”

"I have won the award, but I still thank you for your tolerance and teaching me."

The two had a casual chat, and after a full meal, the two began to talk about the team's deployment for next season while watching TV.

"Mike has any new arrangements for next season, I almost made the playoffs last year, it's a shame, we have strengthened so much this year, we can definitely make the playoffs."

"Hahaha Well said Blake, it's about having that kind of confidence. To be honest, I've been coaching the Clippers for 7 years, and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't achieved anything, but you're one of the most talented rookies I've ever met, and believe me you can make a difference, no worse than any star! ”

Griffin wondered why the old Dunleavy was saying this in a dignified manner, asking him if he had any new deployments next season, what was this talking to him, was this also the team's secret? Dunleavy may have been a little drunk, and he could hear him babble on.

"To be honest, I'm very unwilling, I'm in good health! Excellent! I've met you now! I'm confident I can take the Clippers to a new level! But why ... Even the hardest years have passed, why don't they give me some more time? ”

Speaking of the back, Dunleavy was already almost muttering, but Griffin still heard Dunleavy's key words keenly.

“！！ Mike! What do you mean? What were you just talking about not giving you time? ”

However, Dunleavy seemed to be asleep, and no matter how Griffin shouted, old Dunleavy did not react as if he was drunk.

"Blake, I'm really sorry, he may be drunk, the old man can't drink today, but he keeps drinking, I'm really sorry today, I didn't play this time, next time we invite you!"

"No, no, let him sleep, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to play when I have time later!"

When Griffin pushed the door out with a full stomach, the old Dunleavy on the sofa behind him slowly opened his eyes, but there was no trace of drunkenness in his slightly cloudy eyes. "Hey, I'm not reconciled."

After all, it was a young man, and it didn't take long for Griffin to forget about it, thinking that old Mike was a little sad when he was old, but it was really funny that a cold-blooded person like him would also be sad.

At this time, it's the season of the annual ESPN brush traffic, and a large wave of eye-catching predictions come in turn, fans know this routine, but they still fall into discussions again and again, this is the charm of stars.

In addition to the prediction of the best team and the championship, the hottest and most eye-catching is the prediction of the strength of the stars, which is also the place where the saliva is most concentrated, whether it is in the United States or elsewhere, it is a bloody storm.

Before talking about the star power list, there is also ESPN's new league future team power list, and it has painstakingly adopted a 1000-point scale, in which players (0-400 points), management (0-200 points), money (0-200 points), marketing (0-100 points), draft (0 = 100 points).

At the top of the list is naturally the Miami Heat, who have not been one of the NBA spotlights this summer, and in the past month or so, the team that has probably made the greatest change in the history of the Heat will be a public enemy of all league teams for years to come, with 707 points.

Secondly, the defending champion Lakers, where Kobe Bryant is always one of the focal points of fans, not to mention the market attraction is here, but the Lakers' tight funds may make the Lakers a little stretched, and even then the Lakers scored 697 points.

The 3rd to 5th place is the Thunder with 679 points, the Chicago Bulls with 606 points, and the Houston Rockets with 605 points, and it is worth mentioning that the Clippers entered the top 20 and were ranked 15th, which is also unprecedented.

Griffin's heart was heavy when he saw this, not to mention the rest, let's just say that the Rockets, the whole Rockets and the whole league are looking forward to the return of China Mobile Great Wall's injury, which is also the reason why ESPN has filmed the Rockets so highly, the Rockets' bench is strong, the lineup is balanced, and the little giant is missing.

It is foreseeable that when the league enters the era of speed-up, an inside line like Da Yao can be said to be a cherished animal, but only Griffin knows that Da Yao is likely to retire next year, and Griffin has not contacted Da Yao for various reasons.

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Twyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant and other names are all set in stone, but to everyone's surprise, ESPN ranked Blake Griffin in the top 10! In eighth place, behind him is a large number of stars who have become famous.

This also caused a lot of controversy, and most fans expressed their ridicule of ESPN, "It's just, Griffin is strong, but ranked 8th? Are you sure it's not funny? Statements like this are overwhelming.

However, there are also some Griffin fans or Clippers fans, and a few who understand the ball, expressing their optimism about this ranking.

"ESPN's scouting has always been excellent, and even though Griffin is only in his second year, a genius like this can't be taken for granted, and no one said Tim Duncan was just a rookie when he was on the All-NBA team in his first year."

Griffin and Sam looked at the sudden wave of sunspots on social media, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

"Hey, I said this ESPN is full-fed, what is this doing, it is inexplicably scolded by so many people."

"Forget Sam, it's good to get used to it, and then it's the only way to get motivated, have you forgotten my secret weapon?"

In such a lively and noisy atmosphere, the 2010-2011 NBA season slowly kicked off.
