Guard With a Knife

Summer will pass quickly, and autumn will come soon. From August to September, from September to October, from October to mid-November.

Despite repeated contacts between labor and management, they have not been able to reach an agreement. As a result, the training camps of the teams have not started for a long time, and the preseason games have disappeared.

Some players with high economic pressure have already defected to other leagues, such as JR Smith, such as Wilt Chandler... .

Other superstars such as Kobe Bryant are also spreading all kinds of overseas news with nose and eyes.

Of course, even though the official start of the NBA is nowhere in sight, ESPN and the magazine have made their player rankings for the new season.

In the ranking of the magazine, the little duke sat on the first throne of the league for the first time. Behind him are LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade, Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Blake Griffin….

However, in ESPN's rankings. The first is still LeBron James, the second is Snoopy Du, followed by Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant Special, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Pau Gasol... .

ESPN's reason for giving this ranking is not because the Duke rejected the invitation to the ESPY awards ceremony in the summer. Instead, they think that LeBron James has been training throughout the long offseason, his body shape has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all trainers are saying that his post-up singles ability has reached the top level in the league, and he cannot Then let Snoopy be dragged into the paint area for abuse like last season.

For this reason, Olajuwon even said very bluntly: "Now, LeBron is the best No. 4 in the league."

It's easy to think that Hakeem's financial situation is really bad.

He desperately needs current NBA players to come to him to train inside footwork.

Compared with LeBron James who devoted himself to personal training throughout the offseason, the little Duke seems to be doing a lot less work. In addition to holding concerts around the world, he has also shot four films.

Yes, because of the NBA lockout. In the absence of a new album, the Little Duke has devoted himself to the shooting of two more films. One was a cameo in Paramount's production of "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the other was in "Now You See Me" produced by Summit Entertainment, for which he was paid $12 million. Coupled with the box office share, he became one of the leading actors of this movie.

Of course, it was the Wolf of Wall Street crew that made the bigger noise.

When the famous Hollywood playboys Leonardo and Matthew McConaughey appeared on the same crew as the world-famous pervert, it was hard for the entertainment media not to dig out some shocking news.

On the night of October 20th.

Leo throws a huge party in Beverly Hills, nearly exhausting his resources in the modeling world, as a way to show his unreserved friendship with new friends.

In this pool party that gathered famous young models from all over the world, the little duke appeared more restrained than ever. Although many girls came over on their own initiative, they all enthusiastically expressed that they could go to the room to tidy up his clothes or body.

For this, the little duke expressed his gratitude.

However, when the party is halfway through.

There was still an accident. Miley Cyrus, Aimee Pahild, and Taylor Swift came uninvited. The three of them sprayed the chickens in the backyard of Xiao Lizi’s house with dry powder fire extinguishers. The dog jumps.

to be honest.

When Leonardo was interviewed, he was a little unhappy. He said: "I have already reminded Snoopy that he should keep a distance from female stars. They are not idle people!"

In contrast, Leonardo prefers to ride a bicycle with all kinds of different kinds of young models.

In fact, on the second day of the party with the Duchess Girls.

People saw Gadget driving the three duchess girls to the beach to play beach volleyball.

Then...the four of them seemed to disappear out of thin air.

When they reappeared in the sight of the paparazzi, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. They were dining in the famous glass restaurant, as if they wanted to tell the whole world: they did not have any private actions, and everything was open and transparent!

But the disappearance of three hours and the frenzy at Leonardo's party the night before still linger in the imagination.

Interestingly, though.

The agent of the color dog, that is, Miss Daphne, who was identified by Ms. Lan Fei as the little duchess, responded to those sensational news on the Internet: It is not true!

As for the little duke, he didn't respond at all.

He was after that day, except for shooting every day. Just soaking in the training hall and practicing with Westbrook, Kevin Love, Paul George and Stephen Curry.

Although everyone is surprised that Color Dog can make leaps and bounds while holding concerts, filming movies and parties all over the world, making their center of gravity coordination even lower. But in fact, everyone's progress is visible to the naked eye, although it may not be as strong as the perverted dog who disappeared on the beach for three hours!

Westbrook has spent the summer honing his confrontational skills and consulting with Duke about rebounding and launching quick counterattacks. Obviously, he is determined to become the second triple-double king in ULCA history.

Kevin Love put all his energy into losing weight. He believes that the pace of the NBA is getting faster and faster now, and he is bound to play lightly. Expanding from the basket, the number of three-pointers he practices every day is second only to Snoopy and Curry.

As for Paul George, the second-year forward who became famous in the playoffs last season focused on enhancing his ability to hold the ball. Ran Jie's idea of ​​taking the position of the boss. But Snoopy has been encouraging him to make himself more complete, from terminator to creator.

Stephen Curry, as always, stepped up his touch training.

Almost all the players in the training hall think that he will do something great next season, because there is almost no position in the entire training hall that he can't make a shot. His touch makes people feel unimaginable and desperate, and Segou even said unexpectedly: "If you continue to practice like this, the NBA's offensive model will be rewritten by you."

In fact, James Harden occasionally came to practice.

However, he spends more time with Kevin Durant.

Because he is also a signed player under Nike, he has been rubbing Durant's training resources throughout the summer, and also followed Durant to Asia for publicity.

Harden, whose beard is getting longer and longer, is getting weirder and weirder. In addition to continuing to polish his European step, what is more important is to practice his touch-porcelain style of play and step-back jumper.

Very personal.

At the same time, it is also very aggressive.

Paul George kicked the basketball directly into the stands since he called seven fouls in a row in the heads-up. He was cursing, how could he play like this.

James Harden is quite complacent.

The color dog locked him in the toilet and asked him to promise that he would never use these harmful tricks against the hard-working brothers before releasing him.

However, when Westbrook is the internal response. Harden finally broke out without swearing!

However, he still brought a message to Westbrook and Snoopy: Kevin Durant has evolved again!

"His ball-handling ability has improved rapidly, his breakthrough kills have become extremely threatening because of his height and pace, and he has also strengthened his passing training. He is very likely to complete the feat of scoring three consecutive times!"

When James Harden said this, he was very serious.

He believes that Kevin Durant will usher in an explosion in the new season. This outbreak may even affect Segou's leading position among the new generation of players. Of course, the more important thing is...Second brother, the difficulty for you to seek to usurp the throne has increased again!

Westbrook was getting restless all afternoon.

Bang Bang Bang performing dunk stunts non-stop.

Although he was silent, everyone could see that he had a Tibetan Mastiff locked in his heart, and he kept yelling: I don't accept it! I do not care! I want to go against the sky! I want to go against the sky! ! I want to be the boss! !

All right! !

The big brother of California basketball finally arrived at the practice hall in mid-November.

The arrival of the Black Mamba almost brought the entire arena to a standstill. Maybe many people don't like this guy, but it must be admitted that... Kobe's influence in Southern California is irreplaceable.

Guys like Kevin Love, Westbrook, Paul George and even Thompson and Leonard all grew up watching the Black Mamba.

However, the Black Mamba has clearly not been happy recently.

He was very dissatisfied with the rankings given by ESPN and the magazine. He had already lost his temper once on Twitter, and he typed angrily: Am I seventh? ?

Obviously, he is extremely skeptical and rejects the authority of these two lists.

The little Duke comforted him again in the training camp, saying that these things don't mean anything. Although he had already talked to him on the phone before.

But the Black Mamba still seemed aggrieved: "Can you accept that LeBron James is on top of you? Now all the media are hyping his progress in the new season, and everyone is ignoring my efforts this summer. Still With you... well, you didn't work hard this offseason."

Bryant believes that Snoopy put too much energy on concerts, movies and gossip.

He even recounted the actions of the little duke before the disappearance on the beach, including being photographed having dinner with Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone in New York in early October, although the crew of Now You See Me said it was just two women. The star came to visit the class. But there were still a lot of disturbances.

Before that, the little duke and Emma Watson reunited with the Beauty and the Beast crew at the end of September.

Before that, it was the son-in-law incident of South Korea in East Asia, and the new generation of Xiaohua in China, plus the little princess of England...

"My God, are you a stat freak going to break all kinds of records in the offseason?" Black Mamba looked very angry.

Like a bitter wife who caught her husband cheating on her.

The little duke felt weird.

Then, in the next three-on-three, he teamed up with Stephen Curry and Paul George to easily beat the combination of Kobe, Westbrook and Kevin Love.

This made Kobe very unconvinced.

He criticized Westbrook for being too self-willed on the court, and also emphasized that Kevin Love should not play too much on the outside.

However, whether it is Master Wei or Love, they will not change their style of play because of this. Although they all respect Bryant.

This is two different things.

Since the color dog led the team to defeat the Dallas Mavericks last season, many people have begun to think that the page belonging to the 96 golden generation is about to turn over. This is probably the reason why the Boston Big Three have dropped out of the league's TOP15 in an all-round way, and the black Mamba, as the former No. 1 player, directly slipped to the seventh place.

...

When the time came to November 26, the long tug-of-war labor agreement was finally negotiated. Both parties have made compromises, and part of the reason why the NBA is willing to accept the 54% distribution agreement of the Players Association is that Hollywood is advocating the shooting of four movies in one summer, and the total box office of the world tour concert exceeds 100 million US dollars. Most likely will not return to the NBA.

Because the return on investment of basketball is really bad.

This made David Stern quite worried, and even called Miss Daphne overnight. Daphne's answer was ambiguous. She said: "Don't worry, I really don't have much time to care about this issue right now. You can call my assistant George Chen, who is now in charge of NBA affairs!!"

When Daphne said such a thing, can the management not raise their vigilance?

With the strong rise of the Little Duke, the NBA has now formed a pattern of two superpowers and many strong players, and it is time for its influence to rise sharply. With the skyrocketing ratings, the next TV broadcast agreement will inevitably reach an astronomical figure. But if the little duke stops fighting, then... not to mention the precipitous decline in influence, the rocket-like growth rate will definitely stop.

So, after a long suspension.

The NBA is open again.

The training camps of each team have opened one after another, and at the same time, preseason matters are quickly being arranged. At the same time, it was determined with amazing efficiency that the number of regular season games in the 2011-2012 season will be adjusted to 66 games, and the opening game of the regular season will officially start on Christmas.

Even so, when the schedule was released, everyone still couldn't help worrying about it, it was too tight. The number of back-to-backs is too much.

This is undoubtedly a huge physical loss for the players.

The long offseason left many players walking into training camp with big bellies who didn't look like they were training in the offseason at all. Just like the super dark horse who had an amazing performance in the playoffs last season, Zach Randolph of the Memphis Grizzlies, his weight has skyrocketed, even if he didn't have 300, he would have reached 290.

If there is no lockout, he can slowly regain his status through training camps and preseason games. Now time is tight and tasks are heavy. Now it is purely to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Based on this situation, many basketball experts have begun to predict that large-scale injuries are very likely to occur in the new season! !

certainly.

Someone is not ready, and someone is fully ready.

Just like the Little Duke's group of hard-working brothers, during the six-month offseason, they are all waiting for the day when the new season comes, and everyone is holding back the energy to make a name for themselves.

Just like LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

These two were directly humiliated and indirectly humiliated from the color dog in the playoffs last season.

Their summer training can be described as 200% positive, and they are all waiting for the new season to prove themselves.

Be sure to show some color to that pervert who is busy with concerts, movies, commercials, and gossips during the offseason! !

When they wrote '2011-2012 season, here I come' on their personal homepage, they all thought so in their hearts.

but.

Snoopy was very calm. On the afternoon of his arrival in Chicago, he walked into Gary Forman's office, and he signed his name on a freshly baked contract: 90 million for five years, plus the right to apply for a deal and the right to veto it.

This is almost a completely unequal agreement for the Chicago Bulls.

But, no way.

The owners of the other twenty-nine teams in the league are all plotting and tricking there. What else can Reinsdorf do besides scold Xipi the motherfucker?

Still, he trusted Snoopy.

He thinks that Snoopy has no possibility of leaving the Bulls voluntarily! !
