The invincible kryptonite of basketball

On the first day of the training camp, all the members were present, which is relatively rare in the league.

This team atmosphere is also the envy of many teams.

The Spurs' lineup has basically remained unchanged this summer. The starting lineup and rotation are basically all there, and even the bench has not changed much.

The only change is that Thomas and Diogu are gone, and De Colo and Baines are here.

Nando De Colo, the starting shooting guard of the French national team, was selected by the Spurs in the second round in 09.

A typical white European defender, with a height of 1 meters, excellent passing and shooting, but relatively poor confrontation.

Aaron Baynes, the main center of the New Zealand national team, a typical Australian big man, looks quite sturdy.

USA, France, China, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand...

The Spurs' 15-man roster really has people from all over the world, a standard international team.

Ginobili teased the two rookies as before, and when Budenholzer came to greet them, a group of people all got up and left the locker room.

There is a long passage from the locker room to the training hall.

In the middle of the aisle is the team's showroom.

Including the trophies just won last season, there are five in total, all of which are placed on display racks.

The display racks are made of bulletproof glass and locked, so the protection measures are quite in place.

This is probably why every NBA team wins the championship, and the players kiss the trophy crazily.

Because in the future, it is estimated that I can only see it through the glass.

However, the players all stopped at the same time, looking straight at the trophy.

The words 2011~2012 are written on the trophy. For them, these represent the glory of the past season.

Popovich and Budenholzer were at the back of the line.

Seeing that the players were all staring at the trophy in a daze, Popovich walked over and shouted with a smile.

"Don't look at that one, there will be a sixth one next year."

When Popovich said this, the team members immediately burst out laughing, looked away one after another and walked forward.

This year the Heat have strengthened significantly, the Thunder have become more mature than last year, and the Clippers have signed the best sixth man in the past, Jamal Crawford...

The strength of all their competitors has become stronger, but their lineup has basically remained the same. It is very difficult to defend the title.

And to be honest, although the Spurs have won 15 championships in 5 years, they have never done anything like defending the title.

But even then, Popovich still seems confident about the new season.

Chapter 323 Season Preview (6/10, the leader of the Evening Star plus 1)

The training camps for the new season of each team have started one after another, and the footsteps of the new season are approaching.

ESPN, TNT, FOX...these offseasons were spent all day long breaking the news about Humphries and Kim Kardashian's breakup fee after their marriage, and now they are finally warming up for the new season.

ESPN has always been the most positive one, and columnist Chad Ford gave the new season's forward prediction in the first place.

He analyzed the strength of the 30 teams in the league for the new season, and even made a strength ranking for them, which fully whetted the fans' appetite for the new season.

In this list, like last year, the Heat still top the list.

If a Shane Battier can't help the team win the championship, what about another Ray Allen?We have to admit the greatness of Pat Riley. He fulfilled his promise and brought the strongest role players to this team. I even think that the championship trophy can be awarded to them in advance.

Record prediction: 67 wins and 15 losses.

Ranked second is the Thunder.

They got Ibaka, they got Harden soon, we saw Durant's progress in the Olympics, keep the current lineup, they are the biggest challenger for the Heat, and you have to realize that , the oldest of the four of them is Durant, who is under 23 years old.

Record prediction: 66 wins and 16 losses.

The Spurs are third on this list.

The Spurs slapped me in the face last season. Popovich is truly the best head coach ever. As Duncan and Ginobili got older, he found a new set for them at just the right time. tactical system, and they also selected a rookie with a super big heart with the 31st pick last season.

If you have watched the Olympics, you will notice that Don also developed his passing ability during the offseason. Although they are a year older and have not strengthened, they have the opportunity to achieve the first defense in team history this year.

Of course, if the first two teams agree.

Record prediction: 60 wins and 22 losses.

The Lakers are fourth.

The fans are cheering for Kupchak, but I have to pour cold water on them, Nash is 38 years old, Kobe is 34 years old, Gasol is 32 years old, Charity World Peace is 33 years old, the only youngest of them is Howard, who is 27 years old, but He suffered a serious back injury this past season.

This lineup looks good, but they are really too old. It is hard not to think of the Lakers in the era of Malone and Payton. They also looked strong, but they failed to win in the end.

Record prediction: 58 wins and 24 losses.

The Nuggets are fifth.

There must be many people who think that I am crazy to rank the Nuggets in this position, but in fact you don't know the changes that Iguodala can bring to this team. They need a leader, and now Ujiri brings them Here comes a leader.

Record prediction: 55 wins and 27 losses.

After the Nuggets, the Clippers, Grizzlies, Nets, Knicks, and Warriors ranked 6th to 10th.

"Am I mistaken? I'm fourth in the Lakers? ESPN pundits really are bricks, as unreliable as ever!"

"What's even more funny is that they put the Nuggets in the fifth place on this list! In front of the Clippers and the Nets! It's just nonsense!"

"Just look at ESPN's list predictions. Didn't you find that they all think that mud can support the wall?"

"Haha, as a Warriors fan, I really want to like ESPN!"

"Your courage is also overestimated. Your Curry is always injured, and so is David Lee. Do you want to rely on Bogut, Thompson and Barnes to reach the playoffs?"

"This is an entertaining list, just take a look."

"ESPN's face will be swollen this year!"

……

Ford's list has ushered in heated discussions among fans, and the latest episode of TNT's Big Three is also discussing this list.

"This time I'm with the Spurs."

Barkley expressed his position immediately.

Since winning a bet with the Spurs last season, he has instinctively sided with the team.

"Come.on! Charles, do you really think they can beat the Heat this season?" O'Neal immediately complained.

"How about we gamble again?" Barkley's confidence soared after winning once.

"Shaq has never been afraid, so what are you betting on this time?" O'Neill said directly.

At this time, Smith moved the stool back very interestingly, fearing that he would be hurt again.

"Remember the dress Kenny wore last time?"

Barkley spoke directly.

There are ten thousand grass and mud horses in Smith's heart. After the last show, he was almost not killed by fans PS on social media.

They didn't kiss on the show, and the fans directly helped them kiss.

There are also background switching of various beaches, bars, and hotels, which is simply eye-catching.

Barkley even mentioned it at this time!

O'Neill suppressed a smile and nodded.

"Whoever we lose gets to wear that dress and do a slam dunk on the show."

"Whoa whoa!"

After hearing what Barkley said, O'Neill couldn't help opening his mouth.

This game is more exciting than the princess hug before.

"I feel good."

O'Neill didn't speak, but Smith silently praised.

Last time he became a victim, this time he can finally be a spectator shouting 666.

"OK, Charles, you were just lucky last time, and I'm about to usher in my first victory in the commentary career."

O'Neal said.

"Beautiful! Charles thinks the Spurs can defend. Shaq thinks the Spurs can't."

"Yes, Miami will get a second championship." O'Neal interjected.

"So this is your bet, the loser will wear a pink dress and complete a slam dunk in this live broadcast room."

Smith ignored O'Neill, gloated and finished the bet in one breath.

Sure enough, happiness is built on the pain of others.

Buckley nodded.

"OK, so the bet is valid now." Smith reached out and slammed the table, like dropping a hammer during an auction.

Compared to really discussing the strength of each team, this kind of entertaining part is their favorite.

For the rest of the show, they discussed the lower-ranked teams such as the Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets.

"I plugged a bottle of Laoganma from China, and Barkley will definitely lose this time!"

"Whoa, I can't wait to watch Flying Pig put on his red cape, sorry, pink skirt, and dunk in front of us!"

"That picture will really open the door to a new world!"

"Do you all think that the Heat can win this season?"

"Dude, can you give me a reason why they won't win?"

"Although I like the Godfather and the Spurs very much, they are really not the opponents of the Heat this season."

"Stern: I will fulfill the great wishes of the fans. The NBA champion in the 2012~2013 season is... the Miami Heat!"

"It's the Heat's turn."

……

ps: The 6th update will be sent first, please wait for a while, the 7th update will be written soon!

By the way, today's monthly ticket is double, everyone votes more~

Chapter 324 China Tournament (7/10, Twilight Star leader plus 2)

"TNT, joke!"

Fans were discussing it hotly on social media, and Durant couldn't bear the loneliness. After the TNT show, he directly posted such a status on his personal Twitter account.

The literal translation of Joke is a joke, but in this tweet, it is clearly meant as a clown.

Fans were a little confused when they saw this state for the first time. You must know that the Thunder is second only to the Heat and higher than the Spurs in ESPN's forecast list!

But soon some careful netizens found out the reason for Durant's status.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. In the TNT program, many teams such as the Heat, Spurs, Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets were mentioned, but the Thunder were the only ones left out.

It seems that Durant went through the playoffs last season, practiced dribbling hard in the summer, and his strength has improved significantly, but his sensitive personality has not changed at all.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the beginning of October, and the NBA preseason game officially kicked off.

Two days before the official start of the preseason, the Spurs boarded a plane to China with the Mavericks next door.

Stern is committed to the global promotion of the NBA, and the China game is a very important part of it.

It's basically been a part of every year in the NBA since the unprecedented success of the Rockets-Kings game in 2004.
