PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

After the preseason, the Bulls decided on a 14-man roster.

Centres: Tyson Chandler, Greg Oden, PJ Brown.

Power forwards: David Lee, Louis Armondson, Juwan Howard.

Small forwards: Lewis, Grant Hill.

Shooting guards: Jun Wang, Barnes, Adrian Griffin.

Point guards: Calderon, Dujon, Brevine Knight.

Adrian is back with the Bulls, not caring about being cut midway through last season, and earning a base salary contract. The 33-year-old defends well and can give the team a little help.

Adrian's choice is very smart, if he doesn't return to the Bulls for the sake of fighting for breath, the other teams will only get the base salary, and it will be difficult to get the ring.

He is just a blue-collar worker, he is not qualified to pick and choose, he is at least familiar with the management in Chicago, and this time he has no credit and hard work, and he should not be laid off again.

If the Bulls cut Adrian twice in the middle of the game, will the veterans still dare to come in the future? That's so inhuman.

Juwan Howard, one of the Rockets' "two elders", was previously traded to the Timberwolves, but he refused to play for the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves directly bought out his contract and made him a free agent.

Howard immediately switched to the Bulls and signed a veteran base salary, arguably the most witty man in the league.

Last season, Howard averaged 9.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Defensively, he is a black hole, with the advantage of being able to help the team with mid-range shots, and he has a lot of experience in the game.

Sign Knight just in case. Prevent injuries at position 1. Knight has poor defense, decent breakouts and playmaking. Rich competition experience. If there is a suitable candidate in the medium term, he can be cut.

The Bulls' frontcourt is a slight improvement from last season. The defense at the back is weak and the problem is not too big. Calderon's three-point ability is not inferior to Hinrich, and his annual salary of 2.47 million is considered a super-value contract.

When you need to defend fast defenders, just send Dujon to play. In the 2004-2005 season, many people thought he was better defensively than Hinrich.

He is more conservative in defending people, rarely takes risks to break the ball, and has good foot movement, but the disadvantage is that he is only 185CM tall.

The official first phase of the power rankings was announced, and the Bulls ranked first, followed by the Celtics. After the lineup was upgraded, experts were unanimously optimistic.

Now the Celtics have Garnett on the inside, who can pull out and shoot, and they also have a strong defensive shield like Perkins under the basket.

Pierce is responsible for attacking with the ball on the periphery, and can go head-to-head in hard battles. Ray Allen can shoot when he runs to catch the ball, and the three points are accurate.

The Celtics also dug into the corners of the Heat, attracting defensive swingman James Posey, who and Tony Allen are excellent defensively and not bad off the bench.

Posey is more bullish on the Celtics. Signed for $7 million for two years, with a player option for the second year. The idea is to mix up a championship and then go for a big salary, and get more minutes with the Celtics than with the Bulls. Wishful thinking is good.

The Celtics' only weakness is the point guard, starting Rajon Rondo, not to mention mid-to-long-range shooting, and not even making free throws. It's the best of the guards.

The Celtics no longer have the salary space to bring in a good guard, so they can only use Rondo to make up for it. With the Big Three as partners, he may be able to brush up on good numbers.

Kidd's Dallas Mavericks finished third. They kept the attacking lineup of Crawford, Josh Howard, Terry, Nowitzki, and the cards looked terrifying.

The Mavericks' weakness is still defense, Dampier is getting worse and worse, Diop is gone, and the backup inside is Brandon Buss at 203CM. If the interior line is not strengthened, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to win the championship.

The Spurs are in fourth place, there are no major signings, the players are aging, and the exchange for Spanollis is not willing to continue playing in the NBA, and the Spurs can only rely on GDP combination and experience to win.

The Suns are in fifth place, the Trident plus role players are back for the new season, there are no changes to the roster, and veteran Kurt Thomas is gone. Not having an inside bench is their problem.

The Cavaliers are in sixth place, and they can't poach people in the free agency market because of salary space, and they can only rely on trades, and they don't have a suitable partner yet.

The Rockets are ranked seventh, which is already high as a team that went out in the first round. Scola has already proven himself on the international stage, can strengthen the weakest No. 4 position, and the Spurs gave him to the Rockets for nothing.

With four guards on the outside, Alston, McJames, Francis, and Brooks, it seems that they can also fight with other strong teams.

Chinese fans are generally not optimistic about the Rockets, because they are favored every year, and then play badly, which seems to have become a law.

The eighth seed is the Jazz, who reached the Western Conference Finals last season and recreated their classic pick-and-roll offense, but they didn't make any big trades in the summer and won't improve significantly.

The schedule for the new season has also been announced.

The defending champions are sure to play in the opener, and they will usually be faced with a gimmicky opponent who is either a rival or an opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

President David Stern didn't want to see his favorite "little emperor" being abused at the beginning of the game, so he arranged for the Bulls to get the Nets.

The Nets took Kidd and Carter, and their strength was greatly reduced, and they ran into a league boss team like the Bulls in the opening game, which was obviously a food delivery.

On the one hand, Stern is hyping Wang Jun against his old club, and on the other hand, the Nets don't have a good interior line, which may allow Oden to have a beautiful debut.

This is terrible news for the Nets.

But the players don't care, there's no pressure to lose. I couldn't win last season, so how can I win this time? They also played badly in the preseason, 1-6, and the Nets were already in a bad position to compete for the top pick.

On Oct. 30, the Bulls held a championship ring presentation ceremony before the opening game.

After warming up, Skeyles briefly emphasised tactics. "Gregor went to the perimeter to cover the ball for Wang, and Wang could attack it himself, or he could pass Rashad, and Greg cut in the air to receive the ball. Jose and Grant waited for opportunities on the perimeter and took the ball. ”

Rohr Deng left, and David Lee failed to return to the starting lineup in order to strengthen the offense in the second quarter.

Hill is a well-known glass man in the league, and the coaching staff intends to control his playing time in case of another injury. He doesn't have to be in charge of attacking with the ball when he starts, just equalizing the ball on one side like he did last season.

As for starting Oden, it was to build his confidence. Today is a good opportunity, the Nets inside line Collins is short, Kostic has a soft style, and both have weaknesses.

CCTV5 live broadcast, Zhang reasonably introduced the lineups of both sides.

"The Bulls have two rookies to start, and everybody expects Oden to surprise his rookie season like James, and his play today will be a big attraction."

Yu Jia continued: "The Nets starters have also been adjusted, Gordon is still on the bench, and the starting No. 2 position is Capono, a 2003 rookie at the same level as Wang Jun. If it was him who defended Wang Jun, it would be interesting. ”

Nets coach Lawrence knows Wang Jun, of course, it is impossible to let Capono defend, Jefferson is responsible for playing against Wang Jun, and he is under a lot of pressure today.

One-on-one, Jefferson has long been no match for Wang Jun.

Both sides jumped the ball, Oden won easily, and the game began.
