Coach Lee

Chapter 574 The West is Strong and the East is Weak
The Eagles traded Pau Gasol for Raheem, the Grizzlies big man who was as famous as Camby and Duncan.

In the free agent market, Xue Yuyang from China was also selected.

In the preseason, the Eagles still showed their strength.

Xue Yuyang showed his talent for dunking in the Eagles, but he did not gain the trust of the coach, and he needs to continue to work hard in playing time.

.

Cavaliers.

They traded for champion small forward Scottie Pippen.

In the rookie conference, Zhu Fangyu, a shooter from China, was selected.

0-6, their preseason loss was complete, and their team didn't have any intention of making progress.

However, what is surprising is that Zhu Fangyu's performance is really outstanding.Six games, one game is better than the other.In the last game, he scored 5 three-pointers and scored a team-high 25 points!
He is also the only surprise for the Cavaliers.

.

The Heat lost Anthony Mason Jr., lost Tim Hardaway, lost Leonard, lost Bruce Bowen, and left only Alonzo Mourning and Eddie Jones.

With a 2-4 record in the preseason, the Heat's performance was poor.

There are all indications that the Heat are about to enter reconstruction.

It seemed that they couldn't stand being eliminated in the first round in a row in the past few years.

.

Western.

The biggest change is the San Antonio Spurs.

Their general manager and head coach Bubvich went out for two years and is now back.

This summer, the Spurs were cheating, oh no, recruiting.

In the draft, the Spurs selected Eddie Curry and then traded for rookie French guard Tony Parker.

In free agency, got Bruce Bowen, shooter Steve Smith,
In this way, the Spurs' new lineup will be there.

Starters: Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Steve Smith, David Robinson, Eddy Curry
Subs: Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen
This new lineup played very well in the preseason. With a 5-1 record, San Antonio sees new hope.

However, their general manager and head coach sighed: Oh, it would be great if that guy tricked him too.

.

Mavericks.

This summer they only selected Bart from China in the draft market, and the rest were nothing.

The Mavericks have always been in such a predicament. They obviously have money, but other teams just don't like to make deals with you.

They took a fancy to Marion of the Suns, Raja Bell of the 76ers, this one, that one, but they just didn't change.

"I'll bring you Duncan instead."

Such a lion opened his mouth, who can stand it?

No way, they can only start with the draft and free agents.

Free agent shooter Steve Smith, who was originally negotiated, turned out to be robbed by a traitor.

Not just Steve Smith, the Mavericks found out that Tim Duncan, the core of the team, was almost poached by the ambitious Pubovich.

Don Nelson was furious and went straight to San Antonio with his boss Cuban.Swear at that traitor in their little country arena.However, it's useless to scold, that old man has a thick skin.In a fit of anger, Don Nelson gave the old thief a round.

Because of this, news spread all over the United States.

The old man's reputation as a traitor also spread throughout the entire alliance. Everyone remembered that you must be careful when dealing with that person in the future.

The people of Dallas even nailed the portrait of a bad old man to the wall and served him with darts every day.

.

The Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis.

They selected Shane Battier and traded Raheem, the core player of the team, for rookie Pau Gasol from the Hawks.

In the trading market, they exchanged core point guards with the Kings, Jason Williams came to Memphis, and Mike Bibby went to Sacramento.

.

The Kings adjusted the lineup slightly.

Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Chris Webber, Divac
Substitute Turkoglu, Scott Pollard.

Unexpectedly, this lineup just changed a guard, and their Princeton system played even more beautifully.

6 preseason games, all victories, with an average margin of 11.1 points per game, with hundreds of games in each game.

They played the best basketball in the league, and they were the favorites to win the championship this season by the media judges.

.

lakers.

They signed Samaki Walker, a former 76ers champion member, and Mitch Richmond, an All-Star veteran.

The Lakers basically maintained the lineup of last season and are still a strong championship team.

Coupled with some rule adjustments, the media believes that the Lakers are the top three strengths.

.

Jazz.

Russian player Andrei Kirilenko is finally in place,

Veteran Hornacek retired.

Relying on Malone, Kirilenko, Marshall, Stockton, Russell, can the Jazz get out of the quagmire, and can they attack the championship again?

Everyone knows that it's not enough!
Malone is one year older, Stockton is no longer what it used to be, and Russell's strength has obviously degraded.

They are no longer the Jazz.

.

The Rockets were full of ambition in the summer, making all kinds of news in various aspects of public opinion, and kept Yao Liang's draft ranking in the top ten.They even sent an invitation to Yao Liang in advance and made a promise that they almost knelt down.

However, they still fell short.

In the end, they drafted Eddie Griffin and signed former three-point shooter Glenn Rice in free agency.

Olajuwon failed to die with the Rockets in his later years and was traded to the Raptors.

In the preseason, the Rockets struggled exceptionally, and their results were very poor.

After only three preseason games, Glenn Rice was injured, and the entire team became dispirited.

They are still the Rockets team led by Francis and Mobley, and they are still on the way to rebuild.

.

Except for these teams, the other teams basically retained their lineup from last season.

Soon, ESPN also announced the team strength list.

1. Denver Nuggets
2. Sacramento Kings

3. Los Angeles Lakers

4. Dallas Mavericks

5. Philadelphia 76ers
6. Washington Wizards

7. Minnesota Timberwolves

8. New Jersey Nets

9. Portland Trail Blazers
10. Milwaukee Bucks
The Denver Nuggets were photographed at the top of the combat power list, which many people did not expect.

However, when it comes to thinking that the Nuggets have almost completely retained the core lineup that won the championship last year, and the team has three consecutive FMVP player Li Nan, everyone understands.

Since the summer, the defending champion Nuggets have always been a thorn in everyone's eyes. After seeing this power list, fans of each team want to see someone who can clean up this "superior" defending champion.

However, many people pay attention to the pattern of strong west and weak east on this list.

Since Jordan retired, the east is strong and the west is weak.

Now that Jordan is back, can this situation be reversed?

Tomorrow's first day of the regular season will be a direct dialogue between the East and the West.

76ers vs. Nuggets

Lakers vs Wizards

Kings vs. Nets

Mavericks vs Bucks

The opening game is a replay of the finals of last season, but everyone is most concerned about the matchup between the Lakers and the Wizards.
