NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Returning to Charlotte again made Tyronn Lue feel emotional.

Just over a year ago, he was a Bobcat player.

Now that I come back, everything has changed.

Leaving the somewhat shabby Charlotte Coliseum.

Come to the newly completed Lonnie Stadium.

And except for Zhou Yao who was on vacation with his wives at this time.

The Bobcats' entire lineup has changed.

Wang Zhizhi and Tyronn Lue played on the same team.

But at that time, both of them were still with the Wizards.

In comparison, Durant and others who are still holding their rookie contracts are already considered veterans of the Bobcats.

"Is this really okay?"

Steve Kerr, also the team's assistant coach, expressed his concerns.

In the summer, the Suns wanted to recruit Cole to be the team's manager, but he refused.

On the one hand, his contract has not expired yet.

On the other hand, if you go to the Suns, there is no hope of winning the championship for the time being.

It can even be said that there is no hope of getting ahead in the West.

The Lakers' lineup has changed a lot, but they kept Kobe and got Gasol from the Grizzlies.

Still the most powerful championship contender in the Western Conference.

The Spurs' performance last season was unsatisfactory, and they are going to make a comeback this season.

Neither the Mavericks nor the Rockets are far behind.

The Nuggets suffered from extensive injuries last season, and they won't be polite this season.

And they successfully persuaded Anthony to stay this summer.

On the Jazz side, Iverson is another year older.

The pursuit of the championship will not stop.

The Blazers' reconstruction work in the past two years has been quite effective.

There are also Hornets, Chris Paul just can't beat Zhou Yao.

In the Western Conference, he has firmly established himself as the number one point guard.

Calculating this way, it will be difficult for the Suns to win a playoff spot, let alone win the championship.

Cole didn't want to go into troubled waters at this time.

But that doesn't mean he isn't worried about the Bobcats this season.

Especially since the start of the preseason, Cole's worries seem to be coming true.

Oden has really improved a lot compared to when he first entered the league.

However, it is too early to say that he can take over O'Neal's position as the first center.

And in Cole's opinion.

Oden's improvement is mainly reflected in his getting rid of many bad habits that originally made him vulnerable to injuries.

The real influence on the field has not changed much.

Durant was quite aggressive.

The average is almost 30 points per game.

However, no matter how many points Durant scores, it cannot help the team win.

On the contrary, many football commentators have criticized Durant's low efficiency.

Especially his three-point shot.

On average, he took 3.2 shots per game, but only made 0.4 hits.

The three-point shooting percentage was 12.5%.

"JR leaving the Bobcats may give Durant hope."

"Perhaps, he will also become the second Bobcats second-in-command still receiving a rookie contract."

"However, relying only on such a shooting percentage, it is still far from becoming an indispensable fighting force for the team."

Speaking of which, the football commentators were already very polite.

On the knight side.

The partnership between JR and James is like a duck in water.

Many people are saying that maybe this season is the time for the Cavaliers to gain.

James has been a highly praised star in the league in recent years, and it is not just Xiao Hua who has been sent to prison to praise him.

Although it's only the preseason, looking at this momentum, the Cavaliers may really have no opponents in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, the cost is also huge.

The Cavaliers are now considered the Big Three team of O'Neal, James, and JR.

Of course, saying that JR is a giant is still a little short of the mark. After all, JR has never been the boss of a team.

However, as the second-in-command of the Bobcats, JR is also considered to have the strength of a giant.

In addition, the team also retained Jamison, as well as Williams and Varejao, who were just traded.

But whether other players can stay or not is really up to chance.

And the team's total salary exceeds 1 million.

It's even more exaggerated than last year's Mavericks and the previous Trail Blazers.

Looking at the entire NBA history, only the wealthy New York Knicks have ever paid more than them.

The Cavaliers boss is also bleeding heavily this time.

So much luxury tax to pay.

For the sake of the championship, we have to go to the extreme end.

But at least now it seems that they have received good results.

JR's current performance is definitely worthy of the title of giant.

In comparison, Durant seems to be inferior.

Oh, and there's another guy on the team who's acting crazy.

This year’s No. 1 pick, Russell Westbrook.

If we talk about the past few preseason games, Durant can be called the core of this team.

Then Westbrook is his best partner.

The relationship between the two is also very good, and their cooperation on the court can be considered a tacit understanding.

In the few preseason games that have been played, Westbrook has earned the title of Little Zhou Yao.

There are wrong names, there are no wrong nicknames.

Westbrook averaged 12.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game.

He is also the first rookie this year to get a triple-double.

Of course, everyone has to wait and see what will happen in the regular season.

But look at his performance and his previous performance in college.

He seems to be another guy who can produce triple-doubles on his own.

In addition, domestic fans have begun to call Westbrook "Westbrook".

It is said that the first person to be called so was Zhou Yao.

It’s just that if there are two players on a team who like triple-doubles, is there really no problem?

……

Preseason is just preseason after all.

However, the Bobcats' record in recent years has been good.

If Zhou Yao hadn't been injured last season, he might not have had a chance to compete for the championship.

However, the complete loss in the preseason still caused considerable concern.

“The Bobcats’ roster has changed a lot this season.”

"There are only six players who were there last season."

"The only one who was there last season was Zhou Yao."

"Moreover, the Bobcats still have nine players on rookie contracts this season."

"That's what they did last season."

"But last season at least they didn't lose all pre-season games."

"You could say pre-season doesn't explain anything."

"And we all know that as the core of the team, Zhou Yao did not play in the preseason."

"By the way, he is still the head coach of this team."

"Only a head coach can do that if he leaves the team and takes a woman on vacation."

"Although this is not his first time."

"The past few seasons, people have always been worried about the Bobcats."

"But they have been able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals every year for four years, and they are still a dynasty team."

"They've won three championships in the last four years."

"Such a team, although it seems they have encountered some difficulties."

"But I still want to believe that they will be able to prove themselves soon after the season starts."

"Never underestimate the heart of a champion."

Fans said that the commentator's words seemed to have been left unsaid.

Moreover, what is the heart of a champion?

Of these Bobcat players, only two have actually won a championship...
