The Godfather of Basketball

The 76ers who introduced James ranked third in the forecast list.

When James' teammates were the injured Deron, TT who was guarded by Kohler, Hill who became a garbage contract, and Clarkson who was out of shape, he still led the team to the conference finals, and now his teammates have become the most When the best rookie Simmons, the league's top second center Embiid, the No. 1 pick Lang Fultz, and former teammate marksman Korver, they will be the Nets' biggest competitors in the East.

The Rockets ranked fourth.

ESPN's comment: Although the Rockets lost their starting small forward, they got the same reliable PJ Tucker. They also succeeded in keeping Paul. They will have a huge impact on the Western Warriors.

The Celtics are fifth.

They successfully renewed Smart. The lineup of Smart + Brown + Hayward + Tatum + Horford is still very impactful in the East. They also have Stevens. Powerful impact.

The Spurs are sixth.

They still entered the playoffs last season without Leonard playing much, and now they have an All-Star striker DeRozan, and a newcomer Jacob who has already performed in the playoffs. Poeltl, the most important thing is that Popovich still chooses to continue coaching, and they will continue to occupy a position in the upper half of the West.

The Raptors are seventh.

After getting Leonard, their paper strength has been greatly improved. The only question is whether Leonard can show the quality of a professional player in Toronto and play his due performance.

The Pelicans are eighth.

Although they lost Cousins, they had already played well in the loss of Cousins ​​last season and entered the playoffs. Now they have signed Rondo in the free market, and they will let everyone in the new season. His eyes lit up.

...

ESPN's analysis this year is more serious, and it is more in line with the expectations of fans and other media.

The only thing that is more controversial is the first two. Many fans who support the Nets feel that they are no worse than the Warriors after getting Anthony.

But such disputes occur every year, and there has always been no result. Only when the two sides have really finished fighting will there be a tentative conclusion.

But fans don't have to wait too long this year, because according to the schedule announced by the league, the opening game of the new season is the Nets vs. Warriors at home.

The league has always liked to shape grievances, and this year is no exception.

This opening game can also be described as highly anticipated.

In the past offseason, the league was greatly affected by the referee's gambling incident, and they also hope to use this method to regain attention.

ESPN, TNT, FOX Sports and other media have done enough publicity before the game.

The battle of the world, the battle of the pinnacle, the rehearsal of the finals, all kinds of vocabulary that can be used are overwhelming.

The Brooklyn neighborhood that night was more lively than ever.

The Barclays Center was also full of people, and the fans couldn't wait for the peak match between the two sides.

However, Cousins ​​​​will not play in this game, and his Achilles tendon injury is not expected to recover until December.

Before the start of the game, the awarding ceremony of the championship ring was held on the spot.

Most of the champion members of the Nets stayed with the team. When each of them received the ring, there would be overwhelming cheers at the scene.

Fans get a lot more excited than usual in front of Warriors players.

The Warriors can clearly see that they are holding their breath. I have to say that the arrangement of the league really irritates them a bit.

At the end of the awards ceremony, the second championship banner of the Nets was raised on the spot.

Moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn, the Nets are rising rapidly under the leadership of Tang Tian.

The starters of both sides waited one after another after the opening ceremony.

For the Nets, Tang Tian sent a regular lineup, with Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Anthony on the front line, and Jokic at the center.

On the Warriors side, Cousins ​​​​is absent, Kevon Looney is the starting center, and the other positions are four-stars, Curry, Thompson, Durant and Green.

Jokic beat Green and gave the home team the chance to take the lead.

Irving advanced to the frontcourt, George put up the pick-and-roll immediately, Irving broke through the inside with the ball and followed up with Jokic, Jokic caught the ball and directly pressed Looney for a layup.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene.

The faces of the fans flushed like an orgasm.

The Nets' offense only took about 10 seconds. Whether it was George's active pick-and-roll, Irving's score, or Jokic's follow-up, they were all just right, and the entire offense was smooth and smooth.

Compared with last season's slightly jerky offense, this is simply a sublimation.

This is the improvement of running-in and tacit understanding. After all, last season was the first season. After a season of running-in and offseason training, it would seem abnormal not to improve.

The Warriors' offense, Curry misplaced and couldn't find Irving. After the Warriors ran without the ball for a while, Green faced Irving, and Curry passed the ball directly.

Green held the ball in a high position and hit Irving directly, but was forced to stop when he reached the free throw line.

Irving's constant steal attempts made him nearly lose the ball.

Although it is not easy to improve physical confrontation and defense, but in the past offseason, his hard training on the defensive end has also improved significantly, at least the aggressiveness of single defense is much stronger.

After Green stopped the ball, he chose to lean on Irving's small hook.

But as soon as he made a shot, a figure flew over and slapped the ball back directly at his shot!

Anthony!

It turned out to be Anthony!

After recovering from his knee injury, his athleticism and movement speed have improved significantly compared to last season!

Because it was the opening game, the fans didn't expect it, and even Green probably didn't think about it at all!

George quickly grabbed the blocked ball and turned around to play a fast break. Curry tried to foul early but didn't get it.

George rides the dust, shakes off all the Warriors, and rushes to the frontcourt with a flying dunk.

"Boom!"

The basket shook.

There were cheers everywhere.

After the dunk, he rushed to the sidelines and roared.

He kept playing last season, and even in the playoffs, he still had a little bit of energy left. After all, his future was uncertain at that time, but after signing the maximum salary with the Nets during the offseason, his heart was completely relieved. 100% committed.

The Warriors cooperated in the frontcourt, and Curry passed the ball to Durant, but the intention of the ball was too obvious, and it was directly cut off by George's prediction.

The Nets played a fast break again. Irving received a pass from George. He escaped Thompson's block and made a layup with a smooth frontcourt, which also caused the latter's thugs.

A nice 2+1.

After Irving also made an additional penalty, the Nets started 7-0!

Warriors, a little panic!
