Which defending champion team in the NBA, the second season is not to recruit troops, but to strengthen in all aspects, and strive to start a new dynasty.

Fortunately for the Lakers, they did not keep their core lineup last season and did not attract superstars.

Who knows what they were thinking.

Look at what the Lakers' main competitor did during the offseason, the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Although the hero of the championship was traded to the Mavericks, they traded for Zaza Pachulia. This deal only made a profit, and the Warriors' inside defense was improved.

Barnes switched to the Mavericks for 94 million in 4 years, and he had to admire Cuban's boss's courage. If nothing else, he swallowed another poison contract.

A striker was gone, but they dug all-star superstar Kevin Durant from the Thunder, and the strength of the striker was greatly improved. Barnes and Durant are not at the same level. He joined the Warriors for 54.3 million in 2 years. For the sake of the championship, Durant and Bilian don't even want it.

Although there are more players leaving than joining, the acquisition of David 23 West has strengthened the Warriors' inside line and upgraded their lineup.

The addition of Durant made the Warriors' "five dead" even more terrifying.

This deal alone is enough to raise the Warriors' offseason operations to above the A-level level. They also strengthened the inside defense, the weakest link in the matchup with the Lakers.

The Cavaliers kept their overall lineup, although they did nothing, but they have the Big Three of James, Irving and Love, and they are still the strongest team in the Eastern Conference. If nothing else, the Lakers will encounter the Cavaliers' interception on the stage of the finals.

It's just that the current strength of this Lakers team makes it difficult to make it to the playoffs.

The Spurs, who are also powerful in the Western Conference, Duncan, the absolute core of the team, chose to retire. They bought Pau Gasol to fill the vacancy left by Duncan, and their strength is still strong.

The Dallas Mavericks continued to move, buying Harrison Barnes, Sessions Curry and Nicholas Brussino and other titans. The old driver's $40 million contract was renewed for another two years, allowing them to rekindle the hope of the championship.

The Rockets, Trail Blazers, and Jazz all kept moving. Even if they didn't make any big moves, they made a lot of minor repairs, but the Lakers were a clean stream and didn't do anything.

Also TM is the defending champion.

In ESPN's latest team ranking list, the Lakers, as the defending champion, ranked 15th in the league. According to the analysis of the experts, if it weren't for Ye Fei, the Lakers might not even be able to make it to the top 29.

Looking at this lineup, except for Ye Fei, they are all crooked.

The inaction of the Lakers management made them the worst defending champion in history.

The time came to mid-September, and there was only more than a week before the start of the preseason. Even if the Lakers wanted to strengthen, it was too late.

Excellent players have been signed long ago, and there are not many good players left.

The Lakers fans were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Radical fans even criticized and abused the team's inaction on the official website.

It is not unreasonable to say that the Lakers are the worst defending champions. Ye Fei has come to the team to report, and the rest of the Lakers players have all returned.

But judging by their performance on the training ground, this title is completely confirmed.

After winning the championship ring, the players in the Lakers are all floating.

Rondo originally developed three-point shooting skills at the end of last season, and his shooting percentage has gradually improved. But today on the training ground, Rondo made ten out of ten three-pointers and scored three at most. Fortunately, he almost didn't score any. I don't know where to throw the skill pack I just learned.

During the team training game, his teammates gave him a space of two meters, but he didn't dare to shoot.

Long knew that he had suddenly turned into Long and refused to vote.

Stephenson's performance last season was not bad, and he gradually regained his peak state in the Pacers. But after returning from an offseason, his body began to lose shape and his technique became worse and worse.

Even the diligent Clarkson didn't train much, and his state was worrying.

Seeing this group of teammates, Ye Fei shook his head helplessly.

Reinforcement is still needed.

The NBA arena is not the Olympic arena. With that group of people, Ye Fei was able to dominate the Olympic arena, which has a lot of luck.

The Olympics is a single match, not a seven-match four-win competition system.

If it wins four out of seven games, the Tianchao men's basketball team will undoubtedly lose.

Seeing the Lakers lineup, the happiest must be their main competitor, the Golden State Warriors.

After returning to China, he has been training with the team and Durant is full of confidence.

Cole is the old man of Popovich. He has a very high tactical quality. He used to play next to Jordan. Although he didn't get along with the team for a long time, Durant quickly integrated into it.

The enhanced version of the Warriors' "Five Deaths" lineup made him look forward to the new season.

Even if the fans booed him, he still didn't care.

The big-mouthed Durant didn't forget to tease the Lakers' lineup in an interview.

"I think their lineup is great, don't they have Ye? He can lead the team to defend the title alone, and he even beat us in the Olympics.

It seems to be praising, but it is actually belittling the opponent. Durant's emotional intelligence really needs to be recharged.

But no matter how you say 350, if the Lakers do nothing, they will definitely be the worst defending champions.

Well-known sports media expert Kevin Pevington said: "I have never seen such an inactive defending champion team. The current Lakers lineup has no advantage in any position. Even compared to last season, Ye has not yet The Lakers before joining were weaker, I don't know what they will defend."

Barkley said bluntly: "Are the Lakers wasting Ye's youth? They are playing badly, not thinking about defending the title. With such a bad backcourt, do they want the Warriors to blow up?"

"My God, I have never seen such a bad lineup of defending champions. It's not that I look down on the players of the Lakers, but that they have no players except Ye Fei, which is worthy of my expectation.

The famous Lakers "Magician" John News said so.

No one is optimistic about the future of the Lakers. Ye Fei is outstanding in the Olympics, but this is in the NBA.

In the long season, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Once Ye Fei is injured, who can carry the Lakers forward?

Kobe was worth looking forward to last season, who are they counting on to save the world this season?

The Warriors defended the title last season. They kept most of their main force and made minor repairs, but they failed to defend the title. It is undoubtedly a fantasy for such a bad hipster to want to defend. .
