Chapter 573 Xiao Hua has changed?
After redeeming for the bombing of the divine turtle, Tang Tian ran to the training hall to experience it first.
The biggest change comes from the bonus of direction change and sprint speed. His body is close to 100 kilograms and his flexibility is obviously better than before.
This is the change brought about by the agility attribute bonus.
It can be foreseen that his success rate in the new season will increase significantly.
As for the bonus of air confrontation and dunks, I can only wait until the game to explore.
Time is coming to the end of September, and the new preseason season will begin in early October.
At this time, the training camps of each team began one after another.
ESPN's Charlie Ford also made a wave of forward predictions for the new season, just like in previous years.
Because the strength of many teams has changed during the offseason, this prospect has also attracted much attention.
In this list, the Cavaliers beat the Spurs to top the list.
ESPN is very optimistic about James' team every year. The Heat won the championship last year, and their tendency is also vividly revealed.
"They may experience some running-in pain, but the Big Three's lineup is very competitive. LeBron just led the Heat to win the championship. His personal form is at its peak. One thing that cannot be ignored is that in addition to the Big Three, they also have outstanding young players such as Dion Witts and Tristan Thompson. They will be another Heat team in the East and are even younger."
The Spurs ranked second.
"Last season's failure of dynasty made this team fall from the altar. They will be a little confused and missed Tang Tian at the end of the season, but Gasol's signing makes all this seem less important. They are still the most popular team to win the championship in the new season. The reason they are placed behind the Cavaliers is because GDP is one year older, especially Duncan. Last season was his worst season, and his performance is worrying when he turns 38 in the new season."
The Clippers ranked third.
The Rockets ranked fourth closely behind.
"They got Bosh, which is important. Now they have the core rosters of Harden, Parsons and Bosh, plus Asik and Beverly, they will be one of the most improved teams in the Western Conference this season. They will become the biggest disruptor in the Western Conference playoffs. The only concern is whether Harden can continue to get rid of Khloe Kardashian's defense."
The Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and Bulls ranked 6th to 7th respectively.
The Thunder ranks eighth.
"They maintained the roster of last season, but the biggest bad news is that Kevin Durant underwent surgery in the offseason. According to previous revelations, he will miss the regular season in the first two months of the season due to his right foot injury. We cannot know what the Thunder will perform without Durant, but it can be foreseen that the performance will definitely be much worse than last season."
The Pelicans ranked ninth.
"They signed Ariza in the free market, and the core lineup was basically retained, but they sent Anderson on the bench away. This is regarded as a move to reduce salaries and prepare for Tang Tian's big contract next year, but this will make their competitiveness decline. Based on the overall situation, their performance will be comparable to last season."
The Raptors ranked tenth.
The Warriors ranked 11th.
"Their lineup has not changed compared to last season. The biggest change comes from the coaching staff. They fired Mark Jackson and his entire coaching staff and hired Cole, who is still a rookie. It is worth noting that Curry expressed his dissatisfaction after Jackson left. The Warriors will experience turmoil and their performance may be worse than last season."
The Knicks ranked 12th.
"They left Anthony and the trade came Howard. Their lineup on paper looks very good, but please note that Anthony and the big guys' partner did not perform well. Stodmeier was an example. What the Knicks needed was a top point guard, not a big guy, but it was predictable that they would occupy a good playoff position in the weak East with their talent."
...
The Pacers ranked 20th.
"They lost Paul George in the summer, who suffered a terrifying ninety-degree broken leg. We don't know when he will return or what he will perform after he returns, but the Pacers have basically fallen out of the playoff team."
...
This season's preview has attracted a lot of heated discussion and discussion among fans.
Even the league president Adam Xiaohua was asked about his opinion on this list.
"Their predictions for the past two years are very accurate, and they have been professional in this regard, but I think the Pelicans should be ranked higher, their performance in the playoffs last season was surprising, and they were strengthened in the offseason."
Xiao Hua's comment stunned the fans who were already hotly discussed.
Xiao Hua changed his face suddenly?
You should know that the whistle last season's playoffs was very targeted at the Pelicans!
This offseason has passed, and he turned his head back to support the Pelicans?
Many fans are question marks, obviously they don’t know what the reason for this change is.
Stern was very pleased after seeing this news, and Xiao Hua finally got around the corner.
Look at Nike and BMW. If you can't get around that corner, you will be really stubborn.
Tang Tian was also a little surprised when he saw this news, but it was obviously good news.
The Pelicans' strength has been greatly enhanced this season. If the referees can make a fair judgment, they will definitely go further in the playoffs.
ESPN's list prediction is a good preview for the new season, and the preseason in the new season is about to begin.
At this moment, good news came from the league, and they reached a 9-year, US$24 billion TV broadcast agreement with ESPN and TNT!
The new contract will take effect from the 2016-2017 season, and the average broadcast price per season is almost three times that of the current contract!
This is a very exaggerated number.
For example, James, who has been in the league for more than 10 years, now has a starting salary of $20 million, but if the new broadcast contract takes effect, the starting salary will soar to $33 million!
It's a very terrifying increase, and James and Chris Paul, who is the president of the union, are still trying to raise the limit.
After this news broke, it can be foreseen that the free agent market in 2016 will usher in an explosive wave of signings, and the salary players can get from the league will increase rapidly compared to the past.
Xiao Hua finalized such a big contract in the second year of his term, which greatly strengthened his position as president.
The expected salary increase will allow the players to support him;
The signing of this broadcast contract has greatly increased the profits of many teams, and he has also received strong support from the team boss;
In addition, his previous change of his tone against the Pelicans has also made the media and fans look at him a lot.
Chapter completed!
