Super Lord of the Rings

PS. Here’s today’s update, and by the way, let’s vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets. Voting will also give you starting point coins. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

After the preseason, the Bulls decided on a 14-man lineup.

Centers: Tyson Chandler, Greg Oden, PJ Brown.

Power forwards: David Lee, Lou Amundson, Juwan Howard.

Small forwards: Lewis, Grant Hill.

Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Barnes, Adrian Griffin.

Point guard: Calderon, Duhon, Blevin Knight.

Adrian returned to the Bulls again, didn't care about being waived in the middle of last season, and won a basic salary contract. At the age of 33, he has a decent defense and can give the team a little help.

Adrian's choice is very smart. If he does not return to the Bulls in order to save his breath, other teams will only get a basic salary, and it will be difficult to get a ring.

He is just a blue-collar worker, and he is not qualified to be picky. He is at least familiar with the management in Chicago. He has worked hard this time, so he probably won't be laid off again.

If the Bulls lay off Adrian twice in the mid-term, will the veterans dare to come in the future? That's so inhuman.

Juwan Howard, one of the "Second Elders" of the Rockets, was traded to the Timberwolves before, but he refused to play for the Timberwolves. After repeated requests, there was no way. The Timberwolves directly bought out his contract and made him a free agent.

Howard immediately switched to the Bulls and signed a veteran's basic salary. He can be called the smartest person in the league.

Howard averaged 9.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game last season. On the defensive end, he is a black hole. The advantage is that he can help the team with mid-range shots and has rich game experience.

Knight was signed just in case, to prevent No. 1 injury. Knight's defense is poor, his breakthrough and organizational skills are acceptable, and he has rich game experience. If there is a suitable candidate in the mid-term, he can be waived.

The Bulls' frontcourt strength has improved slightly compared to last season, and the backcourt defense is weak, so the problem is not too big. Calderon's three-point ability is not inferior to Hinrich, and his annual salary of 2.47 million can be regarded as a super-value contract.

Just play Duhon when you need to defend a fast guard. During the 2004-2005 season. Many people think he is better defensively than Hinrich.

He's more conservative on defense.

Rarely takes the risk of stealing the ball, and his footwork is good. The disadvantage is that he is only 185CM tall.

The first official strength list is announced. The Bulls ranked first, followed by the Celtics. After the lineup was upgraded, experts were unanimously optimistic.

Now the Celtics have Garnett inside the pick-and-roll and can pull out to shoot. There is also a strong defensive meat shield like Perkins at the basket.

On the outside, Pierce is responsible for attacking with the ball, and can be singled out in tough battles. Ray Allen can shoot when he runs and catches the ball, and he is accurate with three-pointers.

The Celtics also poached the corner of the Heat and attracted the defensive swingman James Posey to join. He and Tony Allen are both excellent defensively and the backup is not bad.

Posey is more optimistic about the Celtics, signing a two-year contract with $7 million, and the second year is a player option. His idea is to mix up a championship, and then fight for a high salary. The Celtics can guarantee playing time more than the Bulls. Wishful thinking is good.

The only weakness of the Celtics is the point guard. Rajon Rondo is not even allowed to make free throws, let alone mid-range and long-range shots.

The Celtics have no salary space to introduce good guards, so they can only use Rondo to survive. With the Big Three as a partner, he may be able to generate good statistics.

The Dallas Mavericks that Kidd joined ranked third. They retained the offensive lineup of Crawford, Josh Howard, Terry, and Nowitzki. The cards looked very scary.

The calf's weakness is still defense, and Dampier is getting worse. Diop is also gone, and the substitute insider is 203CM Brandon Bass. Without reinforcement inside, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to win the championship.

The Spurs are fourth with no major signings. The players are aging, and the acquired Spanoulis is unwilling to continue playing in the NBA. The Spurs can only win by GDP combination and experience.

The Suns are ranked fifth, the trident plus role players have made a comeback in the new season, and the lineup has not changed much, and veteran Kurt Thomas has also left. Not having a big backup is their problem.

The Cavaliers are sixth. Affected by the salary space, they can't dig people in the free market, they can only rely on transactions, and there is no suitable target yet.

The Rockets rank seventh. As a team that was eliminated in the first round, this ranking is already very high. Scola proved himself early in the international arena, he can reinforce the weakest No. 4 position, and the Spurs gave him to the Rockets for nothing.

With Alston, Mike James, Francis, and Brooks on the outside, it seems that they can compete with other strong teams.

Chinese fans are generally not optimistic about the Rockets, because they are favored every year, and then they play poorly. This seems to have become a law.

The eighth seed is the Jazz. They reached the Western Conference Finals last season and reproduced the classic pick-and-roll offense. However, they did not have a big deal in the summer, and their strength will not improve significantly.

The schedule for the new season has also been announced.

The defending champions in the opening game will definitely play, and usually arrange an opponent with a gimmick to compete with them, either an old enemy, or the opponent in the Eastern Conference finals last season.

President David Stern didn't want to see his favorite "little emperor" abused at the start of the game, so he arranged the Nets for the Bulls.

The Nets left Kidd and Carter, and their strength was greatly reduced. In the opening game, they encountered a league boss team like the Bulls, which was obviously a food delivery.

On the one hand, Stern is hyping Wang Jun against his old club. On the other hand, the Nets do not have a good inside line, which may allow Oden to have a good debut.

For the Nets, this is extremely bad news.

But the players don't care anymore, there is no pressure to lose. He couldn't win last season, how could he win this time? They also played badly in the preseason, with 1 win and 6 losses. The Nets are already in a bad position to compete for the No. 1 pick.

On October 30, before the start of the opening game, the Bulls first held a championship ring ceremony.

After warming up, Skiles briefly emphasized tactics. "Gregella goes to the perimeter to cover for Wang to catch the ball. Wang can attack by himself or pass a pass to Rashad. Greg cuts and prepares to catch the ball. Jose and Grant wait for the opportunity on the perimeter to catch the ball and make a shot."

Luol Deng left, and David Lee failed to return to the lineup in order to strengthen the offense in the second quarter.

Hill is a well-known glass man in the league, and the coaching staff intends to control his playing time to prevent re-injury. He doesn't have to be responsible for attacking with the ball when he comes out, just divide the ball equally on one side like Luol Deng did last season.

As for letting Auden, it is to let him build up confidence. Today is a good opportunity. The Nets insider Collins is short, and Krstic has a soft style and has weaknesses.

During CCTV5's live broadcast, Zhang Reasonable introduced the lineups of both teams.

"The Bulls have two rookies. Everyone hopes that Oden can bring surprises in his rookie season like James. His performance today will be a highlight."

Yu Jia went on to say: "The Nets have also adjusted. Gordon is still on the bench. The second position is Kapono, a 2003 rookie at the same level as Wang Jun. It would be interesting if he is the main defense against Wang Jun."

Nets coach Lawrence knows Wang Jun well, so it is impossible for Kapono to defend. Jefferson is in charge of facing Wang Jun. He is under a lot of pressure today.

One-on-one, Jefferson is no longer Wang Jun's opponent.

The two sides jumped the ball, Oden won easily, and the game began.

P.S.
