Li Ning is also the second brand in Huaguo that can sign an NbA superstar in addition to Hongxin Erke, so as soon as this news came out, many people commented that Li Ning had made a lot of money, before Li Kaiming, who would have thought that Huaguo's brand could sign a big-name star like Wade?

The biggest brand star that Huaguo can sign before is Tony Parker, but although Parker is also a star player, he is not a top star after all, he can only be regarded as a second-rate star, so people ridicule Parker and say, "I have never been the first point guard, but I am only responsible for sending the first point guard home."

The news of Wade's signing to Li Ning also caused the latter's stock price to rise sharply after the opening of the next day, but it did not go straight up as Li Ning's executives predicted.

It seems that Li Ning's company management still overestimated Wade's role, maybe before Li Kaiming came out, signing Wade could still make Li Ning's stock price limit, but now there are stars of Li Kaiming's level in China, signing a Wade is just sprinkling water for Chinese people, talking about it after tea and dinner, and forgetting it the next day, it can't achieve the sensational effect that Li Ning envisioned.

After the two preseason games in Huaguo, the Wizards returned to Emerica, and the remaining two preseason games The Wizards' starters simply rested, and even Sanders, an old man, gave up his position to assistant coach Kassel and sat on the bench to enjoy life.

Without the perverted starters, the Wizards' bench and water cooler players certainly had no way to compete with the opponent's starters, so the remaining two games were lost, but Sanders and Li Kaiming and others were unfazed by this.

If even the Wizards' starters can hang the hammer of other teams, then this NbA is really a boring game for the Wizards.

After the preseason, the Emerica basketball media came alive again after a few months of silence, and began to work on various pre-season rankings and predictions.

However, after winning the championship last season and Li Kaiming leading Huaguo to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games, no media dares to underestimate the Wizards and Li Kaiming in this season's preview.

But even with that factor in mind, the Wizards' odds to win the championship are still not the first in the league.

Because last season, the Los Angeles Lakers used Andrew Bynum as the main body to get All-Star center and three-time Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic through a three-way trade.

At the end of the season, the Lakers in the 2012-2013 season once again formed a blockbuster F4 combination - Kobe, Gasol, Howard and Nash.

This F4 can't help but remind people of another Lakers F4 at the beginning of the century, the original F4 composed of O'Neal, Malone, Kobe and Glove Payton, but unfortunately this luxury battleship met the civilian Pistons after breaking into the finals like a devastating one, and was swept 4-1 by the gentlemen, declaring F4 a complete failure.

Among the official odds to win the championship, the Lakers' odds rank first in the league, +175, and the second is the old rival of the Wizards, the Miami Heat, which has the Big Three, at +225, while the Wizards are ranked third in the league with +250 odds, and the odds are very close to the Heat.

Of course, the odds to win the championship are still illusory in comparison, where is the news of season player rankings and new season player ranking predictions coming from high popularity?

Almost every big media that has been involved with NbA has given their own views on the two rankings.

The result given by ESpN, the largest sports media in Emerika, is that the first person in the league last season undoubtedly belongs to Li Kaiming, who won three mVps in a single season, one of which is the youngest regular season mVp in history, and the first person in this season deserves it!

However, in ESpN's new season outlook, they still gave the expectation of the first person in the league to the local star LeBron James, and the reason they gave was that the last shrinking season had a great impact on the rhythm of the Heat team, and this season after the Heat returned to a normal game rhythm, they should play a brilliant performance, and James may return to the biggest favorite in mVp again!

tNt is still more faceless than ESpN, in addition to Li Kaiming undoubtedly won the title of the first person in the league last season, Li Kaiming is still the first player in the player ranking this season, and the reason they gave is that Li Kaiming can lead the Huaguo team to win the Olympic Games in the offseason, which is impossible for anyone to do, so Li Kaiming is an unstoppable athlete on the earth now.

cbS and tNt's rankings are consistent, and it seems that Li Kaiming's defeat of Emmelica in the Olympics really gave this group of media people a great shock, even if Li Kaiming is Chinese, he is willing to admit him, and it seems that he was directly convinced by Li Kaiming.

In addition to these big media, of course, there are also many small or pheasant media that attract attention in various disorderly arrangements, such as ranking Li Kaiming outside the top ten in the league, but this kind of ranking, which is not objective at a glance, is also full of discrimination against yellow people, so it can only attract some like-minded guys to discuss below, and most people laugh at it, and don't argue with fools at all.

While the media is making various rankings to warm up for the new season, as time goes by, the media day of each team also comes, and the main content of this day is usually interviews before the start of the season, as well as taking makeup photos of the team for the new season.

After winning the championship, the Wizards team is no longer the team that had few reporters to cheer on the previous media day, as soon as Li Kaiming walked into the interview site, there were clicking flashing lights that kept sounding, and reporters almost crowded the entire venue.

"Lee, what are your goals for the new season? Will you still fight for the regular season mVp? ”

The first question is simply a score question for Li Kaiming, he replied to the reporter with a smile, "Our goal is naturally to win the championship again, people are like this, insatiable, after experiencing the feeling of winning the championship once, we want to experience the second and third times, of course we want to be the winners forever!" As for the regular season mVp, I also hope that I can win this honor again, after all, this is the league's affirmation of me, but I will not fight for this honor, my goal will always be to help the team win the championship. ”

Because the Wizards' lineup has not changed much this season, the positions of the makeup photos are the same as last season, but this time the Wizards let Li Kaiming, Thompson and Leonard take a group photo, which means that in the eyes of team management and fans, with the growth of Leonard and Thompson, the Wizards have gradually become a team with three cores......

At this time, the Wizards are like a galaxy, Li Kaiming is the center star, and Leonard and Thompson are the two largest planets, and all the remaining celestial bodies are orbiting around Li Kaiming in an orderly manner, and the two huge planets Leonard and Thompson also play an important role in it.

With less than half a month to go before the season opener, the Wizards' players have also begun their final practice at home, practicing tactics and preparing for the upcoming regular season opener.

On December 30, 2012, there was one day left before the end of the world predicted by the Mayans who were rumored on the Internet, but NbA did not take it seriously, although the players also wanted to witness the end of the world with netizens on the Internet, but at the moment their more important task is to start working like an office worker, because today is the season opener of the Wizards.

It may be that the Wizards have no influence in the league before, so the season opener is basically away, after winning the championship last season, this season's opener has become home, it can be seen that this NbA official is also a dishman, but this makes Washington fans more excited, after the team won the second championship in team history after 30 years, Washington fans have a stronger identification with the Wizards, and the tickets were sold out by local fans almost as soon as they went on sale.

At half past six in the evening, after the pre-game warm-up, Li Kaiming went to the audience to sign autographs for the young fans according to his usual practice, and then returned to the locker room, waiting for the start of the game.

The Wizards' locker room before the game was also very lively, with players wearing Wizards jerseys for the new season, surrounding the team's head coach Sanders and listening to the tactics.

Last season, Saunders first won the best coach in his heart, and then led the team to win the championship, completely clearing the doubts of fans and the media about him, so now he can be described as high-spirited, and he has never been so happy in his life.

"Just play the normal tactics later, remember to defend well, our housekeeping skills this season are not only offensive, we also want other teams to taste our strength on the defensive end!"

After the last sentence, Sanders tapped heavily on the tactical board, and the Wizards players next to him also nodded solemnly.

After the rise of the Wizards, they gave the outside world the impression that they were an offensive team, when people discussed the defensive team, no one has ever put the Wizards in the alternative, as for the league's best defensive team, there is no Wizards player anything, but this season is different, each of them knows what they can do, what this team can do......

Soon the time came to half past six, mcI Center, a long-lost crowd of people, a long-lost appearance ceremony!

And even more importantly, the championship ring presentation ceremony!

The entire arena was plunged into darkness, and to the rhythm of the music, a deep dJ voice rang out, "Welcome, Washington Wizards 2012-2013 season!" A blue flame suddenly appeared on the big screen of the arena, and then quickly spread to the screen around the arena, plunging the entire arena into a sea of blue fire!

The searchlights turned on, and the two teams ran out of the players' tunnel with the Wizards-themed performers, waving flags with the Wizards' crest, and circled the court!

The team's mascot pushed a cart with last season's championship trophy on it, and all the fans in the audience began to cheer!

"Washington! Champion! ”

"Let's go!"

And at this time, dJ on the scene also read out the name of the first player to play tonight!

"The first to play is, Washington Wizards, All-Rookie Team, Champion, Kawhi ~ Leonard!"
