I'm really good at shooting.

"Can I live doctor? Can I live?"

Pierce gasped like a gossamer.

"Cough cough!"

Eisley's story was interrupted by old Nelson's cough.

Sun Hao was called out by Old Nelson.

Sun Hao was excited to hear it. Although he had heard about Pierce being stabbed 11 times, it was the first time he had heard such a detailed version.

But the head coach asked himself to go out, and he could only hear half of the story.

It's a bit obsessive.

"You get ready for the preseason."

However, the first sentence that Old Nelson spoke made him forget the unfinished story.

Old Nelson actually gave him such a big candy on the first day of training!

Ready to play means...he's in the rotation!

Don't you know that in this era, Kobe is actually not the most unlucky, but the most unlucky is Milicic, who sits on the bench at the second place.

It turned out that he won the rotation position in a training game. Although it was only a preseason game, it was really Nelson.

When Nowitzki first came to the league, the defense could not even be described as hot-eyed, it was really air.

And he is still very slow. Sometimes Nash fast breaks to the frontcourt, and he is still in the backcourt.

But even so, the elder Nelson allowed him to play 47 games in a row, and 24 of them were starters.

There are really not many people in this era who can use rookies like this and tolerate the shortcomings of rookies like this.

The time of the training camp passed quickly, and the team's rotation lineup for the new season basically surfaced.

Starting Nash, Eisley, Finley, Nowitzki and Laettner.

Rotate Sun Hao, Hubert Davis, Alexander, Kukoc and "Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley.

Running and bombing tactics consume a lot of energy, and Nelson usually uses 9 to 10 players in rotation.

And judging from the order of substitutions in the training match, Sun Hao's rotation order is higher than that of Alexander.

Alexander felt that he had met the enemy of his life.

The door to the new season is about to open.

At this time, ESPN routinely made a ranking of the team's strength in the new season.

This list is also quite eye-catching, and it is full of slots.

First, the Trail Blazers

The top ranking is not the defending champion Lakers!

But if you understand what happened this summer, it seems... normal.

Last season's Trail Blazers had Rasheed Wallace, Pippen, Sabonis, Steve Smith, Damon Stoudemire...

They and the Lakers reached the tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals, and finally lost by 5 points.

This season, there are not a few of these core players, and they have also added Sean Kemp and Dale Davis!

Sean Kemp, the famous "Rain Man", once ranked among the top ten players in the league.

Although his state has declined, he still averaged 17.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in Cleveland last season!

In fact, the former power forward who led the team to overthrow the Kings, Houston, Jazz and other giants, and Jordan in the finals, thundering the league, has not yet celebrated his 31st birthday.

Dale Davis is a well-known trash talker and offensive rebound beast in the league. He averaged 3 offensive rebounds per game in his career and was selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star last season!

In addition, former "Best Second Team" Rod Strickland, three-time All-Star Detlef Schramf and other veterans have also joined in one after another.

Do the math, 8 people on this team have All-Star resumes!

Coupled with the fast-improving "muscle stick" Bunch Wells and the impressive Greg Anthony.

The Trail Blazers built the unprecedented and perhaps the most luxurious super battleship in history.

Second, the Lakers

A camp made of iron, soldiers of flowing water.

Glenn Rice, the team's third leader last season, left New York, and the strength of the Lakers looked weaker.

But as long as the OK combination is there, they are the favorites for the championship.

And from some news during the offseason, Kobe worked hard on mid-range shooting in the summer, and his progress will make the Lakers go to the next level.

Third, the Pacers

As the defending champions of the Eastern Conference, the presence of Reggie Miller and Jaylen Rose makes them still the top three teams in the league.

However, it is worth noting that their starting center, last season's All-Star insider Dale Davis, left Portland in exchange for teenager Jermaine O'Neal.

And after losing in the finals last season, Larry Bird resigned as head coach and "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas took office.

These personnel changes may bring some unexpected changes to the team.

Fourth, the Spurs

The 35-year-old "Admiral" David Robinson is still trying to hit his first championship in his career, and the "rookie" Tim Duncan, who is already in the fourth grade, will still be his biggest help.

Fifth, the Heat

The Heat have always been the best team in the East outside of the Pacers.

In the past offseason, Riley, the "magic operator", kept the twin stars of Mourning and Tim Hardaway, and at the same time recruited three All-Stars. And steals king Eddie Jones, and quasi-All-Star player Anthony Mason Jr.

Running-in will be a key factor in determining their performance. If running-in is complete, they are fully capable of pulling the Pacers from the East.

Sixth, Jazz

Utah Shuangsha, Jerry Sloan.

Seventh, the Knicks

"Gorilla" Ewing finally no longer has to endure the boos of New York fans. He left the city where he played for 15 years at the end of his career. This is what New Yorkers want to see most now.

Even without Ewing, they still have "CIC King" Alan Houston, "Madman" Sprewell, and they also traded for Glenn Rice, the third leader of the Lakers last season.

New York fans still firmly believe that they will once again reproduce the glory of the 70s.

Eighth, Mavericks

Putting the Mavericks in this position is a gutsy thing to do.

Because this team has absolutely no idea what defense is, their ceiling can be high and their floor can be low.

But the addition of Kristen Laettner and Toni Kukoc makes them worthy of the spot.

The only thing to worry about now is how the old Nelson handles the distribution of the ball.

Their offense will be great, and perhaps we can look forward to a career-high assists from youngster Steve Nash.

……

ESPN is responsible for making the rankings, and TNT is responsible for commenting and complaining.

This time TNT threw the burden on "NBA Insider" and threw it to the combination of Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, whose popularity soared during the offseason.

In the small studio, a new round of tearing battles started.

How many wins can the Trail Blazers win, how likely is the Lakers to defend the title, who is the most underrated team, and who is the most overrated team.

"Definitely the Mavericks!"

When it comes to overestimation, Barkley's answer is unusually decisive.

"Man, offense wins the box office, defense wins championships, can you tell me who on the Mavericks knows defense?"

Barkley was dismissive of the Mavericks.

"If I score more points than you, I win the game, don't I?"

Kenny Smith countered.

Barkley froze for a moment, while Ernie Johnson was already laughing.

The daily bickering between these two is really interesting.

"That's a paradox, because your offense can't be smooth all the time, but my defense can maintain a very stable level."

Barkley immediately refuted after recovering. He can release it and take it back. He is such a professional.

"So who do you think should be in this position?"

"Sixers."

Barkley answered Smith's question almost without thinking.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Johnson and Smith laughed.

谁不知道你巴克利是76人队名宿，16个赛季8个赛季在76人队渡过，还是76人队选的你。

"What do you mean? What do you mean? I'm not saying that because I played in the 76ers, I'm not! You don't know how much that kid Iverson can play. He just signed a superstar with the 76ers. contract, the 76ers ... well, I am."

Barkley's sense of humor kept showing, and Johnson and Smith couldn't stop laughing.

"We bet!"

Barkley began to slap the table.

But when he said this, Johnson and Smith laughed so hard that they fell on the table.

"Charles, have you forgotten about losing a thousand dollars to me so quickly?"

After laughing enough, Kenny Smith looked at Barkley seriously.

"No, it was chosen by that guy, Old Nelson. That guy is not a normal person."

"So you want to gamble again?"

"Of course! Two thousand dollars this time!"

Barkley, this is a gambler's mentality, and he wants to win back what he lost before.

"So what are we betting on this time?"

Ernie Johnson couldn't be bothered to watch the show.

"We bet on 'Sun', the Asian rookie, on his score in Game [-]."

"How many points?"

Barkley didn't speak, and made a "0" gesture with his hand.

He wanted to bet that the 76ers were better than the Mavericks, but that didn't seem like much of a bet.

Instead, Smith's words reminded him that he lost to Sun Hao last time, and this time he will win back from Sun Hao.

"agree!"

Smith immediately agreed.

"0 points? Charles, are you serious?"

Ernie Johnson spoke up.

Anyway, Sun Hao performed well in the summer league, your 0 points are a bit exaggerated.

"Of course! Lord Baron never says anything he's not sure about!"

Barkley is full of confidence, but he knows the ball.

Sun Hao's kind of projectile short man, a typical low-level league killer, the type who can't score in high-level leagues.

There are too few changes in the shooting method, and the shooting speed is too slow... These will be infinitely magnified in NBA-level games.

The most typical example is the game against the Bulls in the summer league, and Artest directly defended him and lost his temper.

Moreover, the opponent of the Mavericks in the opening game is the Celtics, which is the Celtics who have always been known for their iron-blooded defense.

Of course, there is the most important point, playing time.

Sun Hao is only the No. 24 pick. In addition, he also has the No. 13 pick Alexander on the same team. Whether he can get a chance to play is a problem.
