NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

After Jokic and Aldridge decided to stay in Portland, public opinion on social media completely exploded and even came to a standstill.

Because this may be the most powerful team that has ever appeared in the NBA!

Fans are talking more than anything else on social media, and the reaction from all parties at this time has been brilliant.

Hawaii.

Durant just put down his phone and felt like the sky was falling.

Although he had switched to n number of trumpets to vent his emotions, in the end he found that nothing was released.

Damn Wang Zelin, **** the Trail Blazers!

Damn it! !

If it weren't for being too desperate in the West and joining the Warriors last season, they couldn't beat the Trail Blazers. How could he choose to go to the East to join forces with James.

But even so, with the Trail Blazers forming the league's only four all-star team, the new season is still a fart!

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He glanced at the 18-line wild model who looked like Scarlett lying next to him, pulled him over and turned over to fight.

In this wild model, he can get the greatest outlet!

New York.

James, who was taking his wife and son Brownie to look at houses in the school district, stood by the window, smoking a cigar and looking at the busy traffic outside with a complicated expression.

The night view of New York is really beautiful, and the Big Apple is indeed the most famous metropolis in the world today.

But at this moment, his heart felt so cold!

Jokic and Aldridge have stayed on the team one after another. The Trail Blazers have now become the only Big Four team in the league, and their strength has reached an absolute unique level!

If Jokic was selected as an All-Star starter during the regular season last season because of the extensive fan base behind Wang Zelin, then with his outstanding performance during the playoffs, the third-year Serbian seemed to have He has gained the reputation as the strongest inside player of the new generation.

You don’t need to think about it to know that Jokic’s strength will definitely grow further next season, coupled with Aldridge who is at the tail end of his peak, and Lillard and Wang Zelin who are in their prime...

This can't even be described as the NBA finale. It still has to destroy everything!

Next season's Portland Trail Blazers may very well be the most luxurious team in NBA history!

Currently, many people are speculating whether the Trail Blazers can break the previous record of 75 wins in the regular season set by them.

Some people are sad, and naturally some people are happy.

Beyond Trail Blazers fans, there are two teams that are having a great time right now.

Hornets and Heat.

The Hornets only achieved a regular season record of 36 wins and 46 losses last season and failed to even make the Eastern Conference playoffs. Therefore, the team management's goal for next season is to return to the playoffs.

Who is the overall champion?

This problem is so far away from them that they never dare to think about it!

This summer, they not only retained Komar Walker, but also acquired Dwight Howard from the free market. They also took advantage of the Trail Blazers to clear salary space and beat out a number of strong teams to acquire Dynasty from the Trail Blazers. Starting small forward Nicolas Batum, a series of previous operations by Hornets general manager Richie Chiu were recognized by owner Air Jordan.

And the Heat.

Since sending away the team's totem figure Dwyane Wade in the 2015-16 season, the ruthlessness of the Heat management has left a deep impression on the outside world, so much so that many stars or high-quality players do not want to come to Miami.

Although Miami Beach is beautiful and warm, it can't stand the ruthless management there!

Therefore, the Heat's goal for the new season is similar to that of the Hornets, which is to return to the playoffs.

Next season and the next few years, the term championship is a bit far behind them.

I originally thought that the team's recruitment this summer would be difficult, but who would have thought that under Wang Zelin's suggestion, first Paul George and Victor Oladipo took the initiative to pitch, and now they sent Portland's fourth consecutive Will Barton, one of the important contributors to the championship dynasty, has catapulted the Heat to the first echelon of the Eastern Conference.

Heat coach Spoelstra and mentor Pat Riley were laughing their heads off.

This summer, even though they haven't done anything yet, one after another pie is falling from the sky. Who is unhappy about this?

The Heat's management has remembered this good thing about the Trail Blazers and decided to help the Trail Blazers appropriately if there is an opportunity in the future.

In addition, there is also the option of lying flat on the spot.

For example, a certain number 24 in Los Angeles who wishes to remain anonymous.

"These young people are so cruel now!"

This summer, Kobe, who was sitting at home and watching the birth of crazy trades, couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the Trail Blazers retained the core team of the previous dynasty in the new season.

When the combination of himself and Paul failed in the Western Conference semifinals for two consecutive years, Paul chose to flee to the East. The Black Mamba, who was originally extremely dedicated to the championship, seemed to lose his breath.

When he thought that he entered the league in 1996 and that the new season would be his 22nd season, Kobe immediately returned to his calm state.

After the Lakers management brought in DeMarcus Cousins ​​this summer, the team also retained some high-quality role players, but no one still thinks they will be the favorite to win the championship in the new season.

In the 2017-18 season, the Lakers management has only two goals: first to reach the playoffs, and secondly to prepare for Kobe Bryant’s retirement ceremony!

Yes, this summer when all the teams wanted to take advantage of the last two or three years to form a super team to compete for the championship, Kobe made the last major decision of his career - he will retire after the 2017-18 season. Got it!

To be honest, the Lakers management has already expected the news that Kobe will retire. After all, next season will be Kobe's 22nd season playing for the Lakers, and his age will also reach 40 years old!

There are only a handful of veterans in NBA history who can play until the age of 40.

It is rare for a veteran like Kobe to still contribute 22 points per game at the age of 39 last season.

The last player who could perform like this dates back to the Lakers legend "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the last century.

Therefore, they quickly accepted Kobe's plan to retire at the end of the new season. As soon as Kobe himself disclosed the news of the rules, the Lakers began preparing for a retirement tour.

In addition to the retirement tour, there is another very important thing, and that is Kobe's NBA historical scoring total. After last season, his career scoring total has reached 37,338 points, which is far away from the former history's first total scoring champion. , Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points were only 1,049 points short.

Because Kobe in this time and space has not suffered a serious injury from a torn Achilles tendon, although his scoring has declined year by year since the age of 35, he can still average about 25 points per game every year. Even last season, he averaged 22 points per game. Score output.

Even if Kobe's competitive status declines further in the new season due to aging, he should still be able to maintain an average of about 20 points per game.

In this case, the gap between him and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 1,049 points in total historical points will only need 53 regular season games to close.

In other words, as long as Kobe stays healthy and plays steadily through the 2017-18 season, he can become the new NBA all-time scoring leader!

This great achievement will be a milestone for both the Lakers senior management and Kobe himself.

Therefore, the Lakers next season will become a very strange team.

It's okay to say that they lie flat, after all, they no longer have any expectations for the championship.

But to say that they are completely flat, that's not the case, because next season they will also prepare for Kobe's retirement tour and help Kobe to challenge the throne of the all-time scoring champion. The management is still full of motivation at work.

…

…

Since the Trail Blazers retained their core team, no one has questioned their unique strength in the new season.

After all, Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Jokic Aldridge have been working together for many years, and they have a good understanding of each other. Apart from injuries, it is really difficult to imagine how such a team can lose.

But after all, it is only August now, and the new season is still far away. Whether the NBA will usher in the finale will only be known when the new season starts.

This year's free agent market is really the busiest in the new century.

It's just that after the Trail Blazers retained Jokic and Aldridge, there are very few big-name players left.

The free agent market in 2017 will basically be quiet at this point, and subsequent signings will be just snacks.

The unprecedented crazy summer is coming to an end, and the NBA's annual offseason, also known as the rough period, is coming.

The fans are still a little reluctant to leave, still immersed in the state of the cerebral cortex bombarded by crazy transactions in the past two months, but for the players, they can be regarded as ushering in a period of rest.

Wang Zelin decided to stay with Kendou for one more week and start the annual summer training brothers camp in late August.

After returning from Los Angeles, Wang Zelin got the latest lineup of his team.

Point guard: Lillard starts, substitutes Beverley, Curry Jr.

Shooting Guard: Starter Connett Lee, backup Malik Monk

Small Forward: Starting (?), substitute Dillon Brooks, Gerald Green

Power forward: Starting Jokic/Aldridge, substitutes Harrell and James Johnson

Center: Wang Zelin starts, substitutes Zubac.

There are already 13 players, including 4 players at the power forward position and 2 players at the center. It can be said that the inside line is strong.

Among the three outside positions, there is no need to worry about the point guard position. Lillard, Beverley, and Curry are enough to deal with all current players in the same position.

However, the strength of the shooting guard and small forward positions has inevitably declined. The shooting guard is okay. With veteran Connet Lee here, he is still very reliable.

There are currently only two candidates for the small forward position. One is the "nine-finger dunk king" Green, who is capable of offense but not defense, and the other is rookie Dillon. It still takes some time to adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the NBA.

Harrell can swing to the small forward position and serve as the starter next season, but Wang Zelin believes that his speed is still a bit slow compared to a real small forward. It is okay to let him play the 3 position when he needs to defend. Playing this way throughout the season will affect the Blazers' mobility next season.

In fact, the impact of the small forward is not as great as imagined. The real problem that is currently troubling Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers coaching staff is the choice of the team's starting power forward next season.

Should you choose supernova Nikola Jokic or meritorious veteran LaMarcus Aldridge?

At the beginning, the inner thoughts of the Trail Blazers management and coaching staff were the same as the mainstream public opinion. They did not believe that Jokic and Aldridge could stay on the team together. Therefore, they did not consider the selection of the starting power forward for the new season.

But who knew, they both actually stayed in the team!

Now, the pioneers had to face this happy trouble.

Fortunately, the new season is still more than a month away, and the Trail Blazers coaching staff has sufficient time to discuss the reasonable combination of personnel and tactical system.

Moreover, the Trail Blazers still have three spots on the 15-man roster. Thanks to the retention of Jokic and El Interest, many teams' predictions for the Trail Blazers to win next season have reached an unprecedented high.

The most exaggerated thing is the prediction of the new season championship in the bleachers. Their prediction for the Trail Blazers to defend the title is as high as 101%!

It can only be said that it is indeed a bleacher that started out as a hype. After a wave of operations, it instantly attracted the attention of countless fans.

What's even more shocking is that many fans actually recognized the predictions about the Blazers' title defense from the bleachers.

It can also be seen from here how strong the Trail Blazers' momentum for defending the title is!

For some veterans in the league who have not yet tasted the taste of a championship, it will be a great temptation.

That's why the Trail Blazers coaching staff isn't worried at all about who will be the starting small forward for the new season. With their team's current lineup, the opportunity has already locked in the championship for the new season in advance.

At this moment, they don't need to ask for help at all, but others are asking to join the Trail Blazers!

Time passed, and a week passed.

On August 15th, Wang Zelin booked a flight for tomorrow. He will take a flight to Hawaii early tomorrow morning, and then he will start training with his brothers.

Arenas, trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists... Zhou Yang and his team have already taken care of these, and Wang Zelin can just go over and train.

During this week, he successively contacted other members of the Kulian Brothers Camp.

Clay is currently in China and Anta for commercial promotion activities and will not be back until the 20th.

After the two Miami players, George, were traded to the Heat under the influence of Oladipo, they have already started a training plan to prepare for the new season in advance.

After receiving Wang Zelin's invitation, he immediately agreed and made an appointment to set off together on the morning of the 16th.

An elementary school student and his wife were traveling in Europe. UU Reading www.uukｎshu.com agreed to wait until the end of their good friend Clay’s trip to China and come back on the 20th.

Brother Deng also plays around with his good friend DeRozan and will not come until the 18th.

Lillard is still busy working on his new single, which won’t be released until the 19th.

Jokic's current mentality is very Buddhist and he does not plan to come this year. Aldridge's body functions are gradually aging and he decided to develop a training plan based on his own habits.

In addition, there are some new members, such as Butler and Griffin of the Clippers, Love of the Spurs, Westbrook and Wiggins of the Thunder.

This time, the number of members participating in the Summer Hard Training Brothers Camp hit a new high, reaching 12!

The small group headed by Wang Zelin is becoming more and more powerful. Maybe one day someone like Wang Zelin will suddenly get interested and have a game of brotherly basketball.
