Since it was only the first day, the training volume was not large, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the training ended on time, and Artest and Odom were waiting for Li Wan with their shoulders on their backs.

Li Wan spoke to Taylor.

As soon as he heard that it was a Kardashian family's party, Taylor said to Li Wan, "You're there, don't move" and left the phone.

Li Wan always felt that he was being taken advantage of.

For half an hour, Taylor wore a thin black trench coat and drove a red Lexus to Madison Plaza, where she was going to go with her. Li Wan got into the co-pilot, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he couldn't suffer in vain.

"Taylor......"

"Huh?"

"Call Daddy!"

"Huh?"

……

An hour later, Taylor flushed and got out of the car. She still screamed "dad". And more than that. There is no way, Li Wan's "hooking" technique is too top.

"Why are you here?"

Artest and Odom were in a car, and they had arrived half an hour early.

Next to them are several golden flowers of the Kardashian family: Khloe Kardashian, who looks like a "big-faced cat", Kim Kardashian, who is beginning to develop towards a "gourd" shape, and Kendall Jenner, who is currently famous in the supermodel circle, and her sister, Kylie Jenner, who is also a model but famous for selling makeup......

At the moment, there are two people waiting with them.

When he saw Li Wan get out of the car, Kendall Jenner's face was obviously a little more happy, but when Taylor in the main driver's seat got out of the car, the joy was immediately washed away.

Kim Kardashian saw the changes in her sister's expression, Kendall was very clear about Li Wan's feelings, and she had been persuading Jenna not to hang herself from a tree, there are many good men in the world. But Jenner answered her every time:

If you had bitten Li Wan when you were 17 years old, you wouldn't think so!

Kim Kardashian was helpless, she wanted to say that although she hadn't bitten 18-year-old Li Wan, she had played with 20-year-old Li Wan in the grove, which was really exciting, but ......

Excitement is just excitement after all!

You can't eat it as a meal!

Woman......

You still have to learn to be abusive, otherwise you will get hurt more!

Kylie Jenner took the initiative to greet Li Wan and Taylor, and her tone was very enthusiastic. But it feels different from the other sisters.

Kohler is the most determined of the "Four Golden Flowers", but she has always said in her heart: I already have Lamar, I already have Lamar, no, no.

It was settled.

As it turns out, "Pan Jinlian" does get along when she meets someone she thinks is right.

Khloe Kardashian in front of her speaks for itself.

In her relationship with Odom, she is instead the role of an "honest person".

Four people and four colors, Li Wan has a full view, but all of them are invisible. After saying hello, Khloe Kardashian, as the host, led everyone into the party scene.

As soon as I entered the door, a breath of "Haitiansheng*" came to my face. Kylie Jenner seemed to be a little unable to wait, and couldn't help but pull Taylor aside and chat online.

Li Wan found a quiet corner to drink "stuffy wine". No matter who came to say hello, they just nodded their heads, and they didn't pay much attention.

Jenna looked at him from afar, with a hint of grievance on her face.

Li Wan glanced at her, raised his hand and saluted, and then looked away again. This cold reaction made Jenna break the defense directly, and she decided to check the law......

If she forced her to come, Li Wan would not ......

Will he be sentenced!

She hoped that there would be such a law.

Odom and Artest had a good time, turned around and saw Li Wan who was drinking "stuffy wine", the two of them glanced at each other, and quickly sat next to Li Wan left and right.

Li Wan was called by them, it's not okay to have a bad time!

"Brother, what's wrong? Is this party not satisfied? If you are not satisfied, I will call 30 more women! ”

Odom said as he pulled out his phone.

In his world, there is no trouble that 5 women can't solve, and if there is, then 10. No matter how many troubles Li Wan has, 30 should be solved!

Artest had a lot of brains than him, so he put his phone away and approached Li Wandao: "Man, are you ...... What's on your mind? ”

After asking, he thought of something, glanced at Taylor, who was still talking to Kylie Jenner, and asked, "Yes...... Relationship problems? ”

Li Wanqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, sighed heavily, and stopped talking.

"No, brother, what's the matter? You say! Why don't you say it......" Artest looked at the wine glass he was holding in his hand, and he wanted to say "Lee, I'm so real".

"It's nothing, it's just ...... It's too much pressure! Li Wan sighed again, "I just said in front of so many New York fans in the summer, this is just the beginning, and as a result, Da Yao retired from injury and this season...... I'm afraid it's difficult! ”

Hey, hey, hey!

As soon as he heard this, Odom patted Li Wan on the shoulder, cheered him up, and said without saying anything: "No, don't think too much, brother, with us, we will definitely be your best helper!" ”

"Really?"

Li Wan's face was "sincere", but his eyes brushed Odom's stomach from time to time, and then turned his head to look at Artest's stomach twice......

"Are you sure?"

Noticing Li Wan's eyes, Odom and Artest couldn't help but blush, their current body fat rate is indeed a little indecent.

Hell if such a state can help Li Wan!

Therefore, with such a sincere look at Li Wan, they ......

The heart is empty!

"Forget it, the two brothers have this heart, I'm already very satisfied, you have helped me a lot, it's really time to enjoy it, you can say that, I'm already very happy......"

As he spoke, Li Wan picked up a glass of red wine and drank it all.

"Good brother, in my heart!"

"You guys play, I'm not going to spoil the fun here......"

As he spoke, without waiting for Odom and Artest to say anything, he got up directly, and the two of them couldn't pull it, Li Wan greeted Taylor and left directly.

Looking at Li Wan's frustrated back and slightly trembling shoulders when he left, Odom and Artest were stunned, this is ......

Crying?

They understood why Li Wan was in such a hurry.

I was so sad that I was about to cry, and I didn't want to shed tears in front of them!

"The pressure of this old brother in the new season is really ......"

"Yes, New Yorkers are all the same, Li Wan has said everything, and if he fails to defend his title, I am afraid that Li Wan will be scolded to death!"

Speaking of which, Artest suddenly felt a little bit inhuman.

Summer is so indulgent!

Of course, the more indulgent thing is the old brother next to him.

It was supposed to be indulgent all year ago, and this summer is even more ......

Artest couldn't help but scolded: "Look at you, you're as fat as a pig, how can this help Li Wan?" ”

Not to be outdone, Odom replied, "Aren't you the same?" Look at your bface! ”

"Damn, start tomorrow, double your training!"

"I'm three times!"

"I'm quadruple!"

"I'm five times as much!"

"I'm tenfold!"

"I'll you......"

……

Taylor hurriedly followed Li Wan's footsteps, watched him get into the car with a smile all the time, and then laughed out loud, thinking it was funny, and asked again and again: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Li Wan returned to normal after laughing, and didn't say much.

The routine of "sincerity", which he often uses to deal with Taylor, must not let her know. Rhetorical question:

"What did Kelly tell you? I see you've been talking ......."

"Oh, oh, I'm going to tell you this!" Taylor immediately didn't bother why Li Wan smiled, she patted Li Wan on the shoulder and said, "You know that Kylie Jenner has a makeup company, right?" ”

Not only do you know, Li Wan remembers very well, it was this makeup company that later made Kylie Jenner the youngest female billionaire.

Who is the most powerful person in the Kardashian family to attract money later?

It is this smallest "golden flower" Kelly.

Of course, at this time, her makeup company should still be in the initial stage.

Taylor said: "She wants to work with XL to launch some fashion items together, and she has been telling me about some of her ideas just now, and I feel ...... Attractive......"

"Uh-huh, good thing!"

Li Wan listened to her patiently and gave his advice very definitely.

Behind XL is PG1, after cooperating with Nike, the quality of finished products has risen sharply, and Nike's sales channels can be used, not only limited to Amazon these network channels, but also many offline stores, and now the annual sales of the United States alone have exceeded 100 million yuan, plus the Chinese market, even the net profit, has already exceeded 100 million dollars.

It is a fast-growing Menghu in the new generation of clothing.

The fame is not the same as it was two years ago.

XL has received wide attention in the industry since its first launch.

How to make this first shot has always been a problem.

Li Wan knows how strong Kylie Jenner's ability is, and it is also expected that if she cooperates with her, she will quickly become a hit. This helped XL gain a foothold in women's fashion circles.

Of course, Kelly will also gain greater fame in this collaboration.

However, in view of the fact that she will soon emerge in the future, Li Wan believes that this is an opportunity to bind Kylie to XL through "favors".

In this way, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future......

Most importantly, Taylor is feeling good.

The business court is actually similar to the basketball court, they are all like-minded people playing together, and if Taylor didn't agree with Kelly's concept of fashion, he wouldn't be so happy to do so.

Taylor fell into deep thought, and Li Wan's gaze drifted back to the entrance of the banquet hall.

He couldn't wait to know what kind of effect the "sincere collision" at tonight's party could have on the two "Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks".

Originally, Odom came to New York, but Li Wan didn't take it seriously, thinking that with his sincerity with Artest, he would clean him up, but it wasn't a hand-holder?

From the way the "good brothers" hooked their shoulders when they entered the training ground this morning, he suddenly thought that Artest could "subdue" Odom or be "subdued" by Odom.

Just look at their body fat percentage, it should be Artest who was subdued by Odom for the time being.

There is no way, Li Wan can only come up with a "sincere" nirvana. Let them know how difficult the new season of the "old brother" really is. He believes that after these two affectionate brothers understand their brother's difficulties, they will immediately "turn back"!

To know......

Good brother, in my heart!

Li Wandu has a cup with him, can they still be moved?

Effect......

It's even better than Li Wan thought!

The next morning, it was still 8 o'clock, when Li Wan arrived at the training hall, Odom and Artest were already practicing anxiously in the gym.

Naked with his upper body, when Li Wan appeared, the two of them were still sticking to each other and patting the transparent glass, and Otto showed an evil smile from Artest's back.

It's easy to think of some gay gay images.

Artest patted his chest with a serious expression:

Be brothers, in the heart!

Then I practiced in full swing.

Cook watched dumbfounded. This picture ...... It was something he had never thought of.

Having played in the NBA for 4 years, he knows very well that Odom is not such a hardworking person, and even when he practiced yesterday, he was a little careless, why did he seem to be a different person today......

He suddenly remembered that Li Wan seemed to have gone out with these two guys yesterday......

Could it be that you have had a lot of fun?

Can't figure it out......

Looking at Li Wan again, he suddenly felt that this good brother in college had become a little mysterious!

He was thinking wildly when a basketball suddenly smashed towards him, and he reacted subconsciously to catch the ball and look at the person who threw it......

It's Li Wan!

Cook asked with a look: Hairy?

Li Wan said provocatively: "I took a look at it yesterday, man, your three-point shot really hasn't improved at all, I doubt that you can shoot Kwamei!" ”

Just as Kwa Mei passed by, he subconsciously answered on the degree of obedience he had to Li Wan: "I think too." ”

What the hell am I ......

Cook immediately challenged Li Wan!

Li Wan nodded: "Yes, but if you lose, you will practice 200 three-pointers later!" ”

"200 is nothing, if you have the ability, 300!"

Three-point shooting is Cook's most sure project, and he feels he can be bold and presumptuous.

Of course, soon, he paid the price for his boldness and presumptuousness, and after a total of three rounds, he was easily defeated by Li Wan, which is equivalent to saying that he will practice 900 three-pointers before going home.

The Cook people are numb......

Today's training atmosphere is obviously much more intense than yesterday's, and I should have seen Odom and Artest working hard there, and all of them were provoked.

This is also the reason why Li Wan took these two "sleeping dragons and phoenixes" to operate.

Even the two of them have practiced so hard, are the others too embarrassed to be lazy?

As for Cook......

It's really a brotherhood!

Li Wan is well aware of the status of the three-point shot in the league in the future, and with an accurate three-point shot, Cook is only afraid that he can play until 2022. And he's gifted at three-point shooting.

Again, the championship of the three-point shooting contest is not won by anyone, and the original Cook can hold high the "three-point king trophy", which is enough to prove that he has three-point ability.

What Li Wan has to do now is to help him maximize his potential in this area......

At the end of his daily workout, Cook was willing to gamble and stay to practice 900 three-pointers. To his surprise, Li Wan didn't leave and stayed with him.

Watching Li Wan lose three points on the same set as himself, Cook couldn't help but say, "Man, I feel like I'm back to my college days......"

At that time, they added Conley, and the three of them often practiced shooting together, and Oden was responsible for picking up the ball for them. It's just that Li Wan "shot negatively" at that time, and the time he spent in contact with basketball was really too short, so he didn't practice it.

But it may be that God rewards him for his hard work, so he completed the most critical three-point kill in the NCAA Finals!

So......

How can there be so much luck!

If it weren't for the usual tens of thousands of shots......

Well, that ball is really lucky, so I won't put this on to feed the "chicken soup".

However, hard work may not produce results, but hard work is a lucky result, the best explanation!

The feeling of practicing with his brother was very relaxed, and before he knew it, Cook had completed half of the three-point practice with quality and quantity, and looked at Li Wan, who was also sweating profusely, and he thought, he understood his brother's intentions:

This is to accompany him to make progress!

Really......

What a brother!

Cook was moved, but his phone rang at this time.

He picked it up and looked at it...... It's Conley!

"Mike? Why did he call me? ”

Cook was puzzled, what he didn't notice was that Li Wan's shooting posture stiffened slightly, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

A minute later......

"Wow, Li Wan, you shameless, you actually posted a video of my training on Twitter...... Don't run, I'm going to fight you to the death! ”

Why, I know that this guy is not so kind, and Bai is moved!

The Knicks trained ahead of schedule, which attracted the attention of the outside world and also caused unease among other teams.

On September 9, LeBron James also called Wade: "Man, we have to start training!" The Knicks have been training together for so many days! ”

The enemy is already strong and so diligent, if they don't have a point B number, I'm afraid they won't be able to touch the floor of the finals again.

This summer, LeBron also felt what is called "darkest hour", he didn't want to go through the same situation again, and it just so happened that Yao Ming was injured and the season was out of ...... He wasn't gloating, he was sorry for what happened to Yao Ming, but he really felt that this was God once again taking care of him and clearing the "natural enemy" for him, and the only obstacle now might be......

"Man, in the new season, you're going to play like you did when you were with the Cavaliers!"

"Huh?"

On the phone, Wade's words made LeBron James stunned for a moment, his eyes were hot, but he was afraid that he had misunderstood Wade's meaning, so he cautiously asked:

"What do you mean?"

Wade paused, but said, "I mean, man, you just think of the Heat as your team!" You follow your habits, last season, you were cooperating with me, this season, I'm cooperating with you! ”

This is......

Want to be my "Pippen"?

That's what he meant, right?

That's what he meant, right?

LeBron James's heart turned upside down, and Wade's next words made him confirm once again that Wade did mean "giving way".

At that time, LeBron James felt that the softest part of his heart was touched.

What a brother!

chose to come to the Heat team, and sure enough, yes, Wade can really be sacrificed!

At the same time, he felt that God was starting to exert his power again!

Of course, he knew that he couldn't agree to this matter directly, so he still had to shirk two sentences: "This is your team, Dwyan, I can't do this, otherwise, let's try it, I will do my part, you still play according to your style of play......"

Then it's another season that won't make it to the finals!

Wade silently complained in his heart.

This summer has been really hard for him.

The crazy taunts have continued from the Eastern Conference Finals to the present, and he thinks very clearly, whether the team's status is better than victory.

This "boss" position, LeBron will give him if he wants!

As long as he can win, he can ......

LeBron James saw Wade continue to insist, so he didn't continue to shirk, he was afraid of shouting chaos, he assured Wade: "This year's championship must be ours!" ”

"I believe that LeBron...... The champion must be ours! ”

The phone hangs up.

LeBron was excited, Wade ...... The expression is a little low.

Although he had already foreshadowed it in his heart a few times when he talked to LeBron about this, he still felt uncomfortable at the thought that he would become a "deputy" in the new season.

Since he entered the alliance, he has never been the "second child"!

He never thought that one day, he would give up the position of boss by himself...... Still on the Heat!

Can......

What can I do?

LeBron James, the "second child", can't do it!

"That's when the Finals were already two games behind, and I told you, you don't have to be polite to me, I'm willing to be a role player at this point, you just have to do what you have to do...... And then the thing, you know, we won the championship! ”

Wade thought of what Shaq O'Neal said to him at the end of the Finals. His eyes were firm again.

I didn't make a mistake in my choice......

Right?

Hesitating, he called Shaq O'Neill.

"Big Shark", who was comfortably eating potato chips, received a call from Wade and listened to this guy talk about his journey and his decision after listening to his comfort at the end of the finals, Shaq ......

Confused!

Oh~

That's how you understand it!

Shaq O'Neal's original intention was to tell Wade to stick to what he thinks is the right path, which is the path he is currently taking, that he is playing well in the Eastern Conference Finals, that he is going to keep it up, and that what should change is the other people who are not doing well......

Who it is, he won't name it!

I didn't expect it......

Wade, who performed the best, actually thought that he had to adapt to his teammates who were not performing well, and since he did not perform well in the position of "second", let him go to the position of "boss".

This sassy operation......

Shaq O'Neal suddenly has a little bit of envy for LeBron James.

This kid's life is too good, isn't it!?

No wonder it's the "chosen one"!

This "Finals MVP" took the initiative to give up the position of "boss" to the "king of excel sheets" without a championship, and Shaq O'Neal is really unheard of.

Anyway, what he went through was ......

The three-time "champion MVP" was squeezed out of his parent team by the "second".

Shaq couldn't help but look at himself, was the pattern of the year a little small!

The Nets also started training camp early.

Kevin Garnett watched the interaction between Paul Pierce and Chris Paul with a nervous expression.

This summer, he had the option to jump out of his contract.

He also had this idea......

The phone was pulled out, and he was ready to take the initiative to ease relations with Ray Allen.

Results......

Da Yao suddenly reimbursed for the season and announced his retirement.

Coupled with the retirement of Shaq O'Neal, the Knicks can get the player, and the player is Leewan, and the others ......

Whether it's Ray Allen, Artest, or Lewis, they don't look as reliable as Paul Pearce, Chris Paul, and López.

At that time, he no longer hesitated, and chose to execute the last year of the contract and fight again with his old buddy.

But......

The Knicks have been on the move during this time, with the additions of Vince Carter, Odom and Tyson Chandler putting the team back in content.

At least it doesn't look worse than the Nets.

plus Li Wan, who has repeatedly performed miracles......

But he has already announced the execution of the last year of his contract, and there is no way to regret it.

Now he can only pray that the relationship between Pierce and Chris Paul will last another year.

And comfort yourself in your heart:

As long as the locker room atmosphere is harmonious, this Nets team has the strength to win the championship!

Kobe Bryant personally invited the new recruits Nick Young, Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin to train together in advance. In order to express his friendship, he also deliberately learned the Chinese names of Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin.

It's just that when he called Jeremy Lin's Chinese name, the latter looked confused, and then he learned that Jeremy Lin grew up in the United States and couldn't speak Chinese at all.

Even a simple "hello" is not as good as Kobe Bryant's standard.

Nick Young looked at Kobe Bryant speaking Chinese and showed a "Nick Young" face.

Didn't you say that Kobe Bryant didn't have a teammate in his eyes? Why do you look so kind?

Then if I vote for two more, he shouldn't have any opinion, right?

Nick Young's broken thoughts in his heart were verified in the next team training game, and Kobe Bryant, who was on the same team as him, kept signaling him to play by himself, seeing that he didn't score, and clapped his hands very kindly, and said to him: "It's okay, it's okay, go on, go on!" ”

It's true......

Is it okay?

You're welcome!

Nick Young's eyes are getting hotter, and Kobe Bryant is happy, and he feels that this newcomer has a lot of appetite for him. He also sent a text message to Nick Young in the evening:

I love your drive!

When Nick Young received the text message, it was called an excitement and quickly replied to the text message, saying that he would not let you down.

Looking at Nick Young's excitement overflowing with words, Kobe Bryant showed a relieved smile:

07, there are still normal rookies!

……

The time soon came to the middle of September, and as the teams sounded the rallying call one after another, the 11~12 season also ushered in the final stage of fighting:

The annual closed training camp has officially begun.

That means it's all about last season, it's over.

Li Wan, who won the two awards of regular season MVP and finals MVP, and the final champion New York Knicks, have no advantage except for the title of "defending champion" on their heads.

Standing on the same page as the rest of the league and the players.

To the 12-year O'Brien Cup, as well as various honorary awards, launch an attack:

Everything is going to start all over again......

The NBA shouted their new tagline:

the advent of a new era！

Meaning:

New era!

In terms of classicity, it is definitely not as good as "the place where miracles are born"...... However, there are so many season slogans in the NBA, and I am afraid there is no one that can surpass this sentence.

So there's nothing to worry about!

The key is......

This slogan is more representative of the current NBA!

A new collective bargaining agreement was signed, and in the past three years, there have been two new championships in the NBA, as well as new championships in the past 38 years, including those who are closer to the league's No. 1 position, and from the original Tim Duncan, Shaq O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and others, to Levan, LeBron and others......

Everything is a new beginning!

It's the NBA......

New era!

It's worth mentioning that although David Stern won't officially retire until 2014, in fact, a lot of the work has been done as a joke since this summer.

Including the original league shutdown, David Stern presided over the big picture of the first half, and the rest was handed over to the jokes. Coupled with the successful signing of the sky-high broadcast agreement later, the joke is on top, and it can be said that it carries the trend of wind and rain.

To say that the future new president has a style of acting, one is to collect money as the ultimate goal.

As long as it is a profitable business, he dares to take it, including spinach investment.

The sponsor of competitive sports, is spinach......

It's really powerless to complain.

Second, we should vigorously engage in formalism.

Since everyone loves to attack, don't defend......

The frenzied weakening of the defensive intensity began when he came to power.

In addition, there is the frequent change of slogans.

David Stern Era, "I love this game!" "From 1992 to 2007, "Land of Miracles" was used from 07 to 2012......

After the joke came to power, the NBA's slogan changed almost every year, but even so, no classic slogan was born.

In a nutshell......

is a big gimmick, which can be regarded as a clear play in the traffic era!

As a result, the ratings of the NBA are the same as "Wang Xiaoer's New Year", and it is not as good as the year until 2021, when I suddenly remembered that basketball needs to be defended, and the ratings of the playoffs have picked up.

Right now, having just taken over David Stern's job, he can't wait to change the title, which is really ......

It's a joke!

September 16th.

The day after the league shouted the slogan, the Knicks held a media open day.

A large number of media arrived, and the press conference, which looked quite large, was crowded. The Knicks have finished taking makeup photos for the new season.

When Ray Allen is seen in the same frame as Lewis, Lee Wan is in the same frame as Cook, Kwame Brown is in the same frame as Tyson Chandler, and Odom is in the same frame as Artest......

The media reporters at the scene had a feeling, where is this makeup photo?

Isn't this a wave of memories to kill!

I can't stand it, I really can't stand it!

Before they couldn't stand it, the old fans couldn't stand it first, and they fell into memories one by one, unable to extricate themselves.

The media asked Li Wan, with so many strong teams in the new season, will he worry about not being able to defend his title?

Artest and Odom were not far from him, and when they heard the reporter's answer, they couldn't help but think of the party that night, and Li Wan's face was downcast, and until now, they have been impressed.

That's why they've been training so hard during this time.

From September 7th to September 15th, although it has not been 10 days, their body fat percentage has returned to 14%......

Looking at the big-bellied body shape before, although the lines are not so obvious at the moment, they can vaguely see the outline, and if they continue to practice for a few days, they will be able to recover their proud figure!

Listening to the reporters' questions at this moment, they hope that Li Wan can answer firmly, because their two elder brothers have already made up their minds: they must not let their little brother shed tears again!

"I have the best team-mates, so I don't worry. We're still going to be the best team, and if there's one team with the best chance of winning the championship this season, it's going to be the New York Knicks! ”

In the end, Li Wan's answer also made them smile......

That's right!

This is the little brother Li Wan in their impression!

He's back!

"But ESPN only put you in third place, and they think the Lakers, who have added strength to the bench, and the Heat, who are more championship-hungry, are more championship-...... than you."

Li Wan smiled indifferently.

ESPN's rankings, just watch it and have fun!

You laugh at them for not understanding rankings, they laugh at you for not understanding what a gimmick is!

Why is ESPN a news giant in the sports industry?

It's because they're good at creating this kind of eye-catching topic......

Li Wan's answer was: "ESPN ranked us third, which is not necessarily a bad thing......"

Listen to the applause!

The New York reporter applauded enthusiastically.

Also dissatisfied with the ESPN rankings is Kevin Durant, who continues to shout "I'm going to take my brother from scratch and pose for the top of the mountain".

Last season, the Thunder made history by reaching the Western Conference Finals.

Kevin Durant thought that no one would dare to underestimate the Thunder in the new season, but ESPN ranked them at No. 7.

Lakers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, Clippers, Spurs......

And then there's the Thunder!

This Nima ......

This doesn't bully honest people!

Let's see who is the No.1 of this season in the end!

After seeing the state of his "second brother" and "third brother" in training camp, Kevin Durant is full of confidence in the new season.

September 17th.

The San Antonio Spurs also held a press conference.

It's just that no one expected that the protagonist of this press conference was not Duncan, nor Tony Parker, nor Ginobili and others, but ......

This year's 15th pick in the first round showed Leonard.

Popovich sat next to him, happily watching the reporters on the field with incomprehension on their faces, and did not explain much. just looked at the young "facial paralyzed man" next to him with a loving face.

In order to get Leonard, he sent George Hill, his beloved apprentice, the price is not small, and the outside world does not understand, this little newcomer looks nothing special!

But only Popovich, who came to Leonard on trial, knew what kind of energy this guy contained in his body, and he believed in his own vision and would never be wrong.

The next thing he has to do is to shock the alliance with this piece of jade.

We'll see, everybody!

His gaze became more and more confident, and the reporters in the audience also became more and more incomprehensible......

In addition, they found that this little rookie is really boring.

More "facial paralysis" than Tim Duncan...... No, Tim Duncan's facial paralysis is on the court, and he is interviewed off the court, one after another, let alone greeting people.

The popular phrase "the future is yours" is classic enough, but in fact, when he said this sentence to LeBron James, there was another sentence after it......

But this year it's mine!

directly teased the somewhat frustrated "little emperor" with a set of "return me fluttering boxing".

And Ronald, except for the introduction of his name at the beginning, he didn't speak the whole time......

Is such an introverted player sure to survive in this league?

There is a lot of confusion here.

On the Knicks' side, D'Antoni officially finalized the starting lineup for the new season:

No. 1 Li Wan, No. 2 Ray Allen, No. 3 Artest, No. 4 Lewis, No. 5 Tyson Chandler.

The hardest decision was for Vince Carter to play as a substitute.

After all, this was also recruited by Li Wan personally at that time, and he had never played as a substitute before, and now he is "cheating", no, calling him here with "sincerity", but letting him play as a substitute, which is somewhat inappropriate.

In the end, D'Antoni's opinion was that Ray Allen and Vince Carter would compete for the position, and whoever would be better suited to the Knicks' starting lineup would play the starting number two.

As for why not let Vince Carter play his familiar No. 3 position......

With Vince Carter plus Ray Allen and Lewis' defensive line, even D'Antoni, who is not interested in defense, feels that "the picture is too beautiful to watch", let alone Mike Brown.

He strongly disagrees with this......

The main Knicks' defensive resources this season are very good, and there is really no reason to give up on the defensive end!

Mike Brown is even confident of building a top-three defensive intensity in the league!

Outcome......

Ray Allen wins!

In the original 11~12 season, "Junzi Lei" was still in the Celtics, averaging 14.5 points per game, 45.4% shooting, and 45% three-point shooting, which is still the data of the league's top scorers.

In the same period, Vince Carter averaged 10.3 points per game with 41.2% shooting from the field and 36.5% from three-point range on the Mavericks......

The state is indeed a bit worse.

This is also reflected on the training ground.

D'Antoni was not surprised.

If Vince Carter didn't have any problems, would he be bought out by the Magic?

There is a cause and there must be an effect!

However, as a result, the Knicks have Beverley, Vince Carter, Cook, Kwame Brown, Odom, Rasheed Wallace and other elite players on the bench.

It's the league's most luxurious bench!

To be honest, D'Antoni woke up with a few laughs at night when he saw this list, and this lineup really doesn't need to think about physical fitness at all when playing "Kombat Whirlwind", just run hard!

But D'Antoni soon discovered that things weren't that simple......

The problem arose quickly......

First and foremost:

Da Yao retired, and the threat of the Knicks' strongest tactic "Li Liu" last season was straight down

Fall.

The purpose of this tactic is actually to open up space for the basket and let the basket play strongly.

Now the basket can still open up space, but the person standing under the basket is Tyson Chandler, or Kwame Brown, counting on them to play with the ball, it is better to expect the two of them to shoot three-pointers!

And without worrying about being eaten under the basket, the opponent can naturally make up for the defense in time without any scruples, and Lewis's shooting space will be compressed......

When Li Wan breaks through the basket, he may also be caught without hesitation, and he can't cause damage so easily......

In short, this set of tactics is no longer enough to become the Knicks' "strongest trump card tactic"!

You'll have to think about new tactics......
