As the new season gets closer, each team has begun to hold its own media meetings.

This year, the competitiveness of the western region is rare in history and the attention it has received is unprecedented.

Especially the Rockets' press conference, it was the focus of media attention.

The three giants Paul, Harden and Cousins ​​all appeared, attracting the attention of the media.

Capela, Brewer, and the team's new players Tucker, Anderson, West and others appeared with the Big Three.

After the Rockets formed the Big Three, Morey showed off his small trading ability.

He first renewed a three-year, 24 million contract with Brewer, and then he made a deal with the Suns.

The Rockets sent out Terrence Jones and Costas Papanicolau, and came from the Suns' trade PJ Tucker.

The Suns are now rebuilding, and older role players like Tucker are not suitable for them.

Papanicoulau is a non-guarantee contract, and it can clear the salary space after the transaction, while Jones is a potential newcomer.

This is equivalent to exchanging Tucker for Jones and cleaning up the space at the same time, which is not a loss for the rebuilt Sun.

Jones performed well in the Rockets last year, but was nicknamed the little prince by fans, saying that he could not fight tough battles and his defense was very poor.

Cousins' defense is not good, the Rockets found a defensive forward swinger for him to come back.

After that, Morey then signed Terry and Bamott, David West, Andre Miller and others with basic salary in the free market.

Morey's move really showed off. With the Big Three, he will naturally have veterans to make a comeback. The Rockets' lineup is quite competitive.

Such a lineup also made D'Antoni full of enthusiasm at the media meeting.

"I know it's not appropriate to say this, but this team has no other goal except the championship."

This bold statement was reported as a title by many media and has also attracted heated discussions among fans.

Rockets fans are full of enthusiasm, but many fans also complain about D'Antoni's big mouth.

This is indeed a bit of a bad character, but it is understandable that D'Antoni would say such words.

In the past few years, he first went to the Knicks to save the venue, but then went to Los Angeles after failing;

I thought that I could succeed in F4, but I didn't expect the conflict between Howard and Kobe made it look like a cloud.

At this time, the Rockets finally had a chance to achieve their ambitions, so it would not be surprising that he would say such words.

In addition to the Rockets, the media meetings of the Warriors, Pelicans and Spurs, the first-tier teams in the Western Conference have also attracted much attention.

The Warriors' lineup has basically not changed much this year. Cole led the team to win the championship in his first year of coaching, and there is no need for this team to change at all.

Defending the title is their only goal in the new season.

The Spurs' lineup has not changed much, but with an additional All-Star Aldridge, Spurs fans have enough confidence to win the championship again.

In contrast, the Pelicans have received a lot of attention.

Of course, the main thing that attracts media attention is not the players. After all, the Pelicans' lineup is the same as the Warriors, and it has little change compared to last year.

What attracted their attention was the Pelicans' coaching staff.

The handsome Stevens, who has changed from a head coach to a first assistant coach, is definitely very popular with this coaching staff.

"I won't say anything that must win the championship, because that's a bit of a loser, but I know this team will go further than last year."

Stevens is still very humble in front of the media, but his words are neither arrogant nor humble, and very artistic.

“We’re ready.”

Tang Tian’s speech was more concise.

This sentence can be understood in many ways, which can be understood as being ready for the new season, as being ready for the championship, or other understandings.

But no matter which one it is, it reveals a kind of confidence.

This confidence is not only reflected in Tang Tian's words, but also in the face of every Pelicans player.

The media reporters can deeply understand what really comes from the heart.

After the media meeting, the Pelicans also took a set of players' makeup photos.

In addition to individuals, there are some combinations.

For example, Tang Tian and Davis have dual cores, Tang Tian and Davis, Jokic have threesomes, and Pelicans have five Tigers.

Tang Tian sat aside and rested after the filming.

Boyan and Harris were taking photos of new players over there, and the two looked very interesting.

The personalities of these two teams' newcomers are exactly the same as those shown on Twitter.

Boyn is the kind of cheerful and cheerful person who is laughing and joking, while Harris is very shy and looks a bit like Leonard when he was a rookie.

"Tang."

Holiday walked to Tang Tian at this time.

Tang Tian looked up and saw that it was him, and greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you."

But Holiday puzzled him as soon as he spoke.

Why is it thanked now?

"My wife, I took her to a physical examination two days ago. She had a tumor in her brain, which was benign. The doctor said that surgery would be cured. If you hadn't reminded me, I couldn't believe what the consequence would be."

Holiday continued to explain.

Tang Tian realized when he heard this. It turned out that he had asked Holiday when the season ended.

"That's good."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He mentioned it out of kindness at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be a result so soon. He wanted to say that he would mention it later.

Now that such a good result is a good thing for Holiday and the Pelicans.

After the final makeup photo was taken, it was soon on the cover of magazines in major media.

And what's interesting this year is that tnt, espn, and sports pictorial have selected different teams as their respective magazine covers.

Espn used the Rockets Big Three, TNT used the Warriors Five Tigers, and Sports Illustrated used the Pelicans' dual-core and Stevens' photos.

On the cover of the Pelicans' magazine, Tang Tian held the ball with one hand and looked murderous intent, while Davis made a blocking shot with both hands.

The scene of one offensive and one defense can make people feel as if Yao and Mai were in the same frame at the time.

Plus Stevens wrapped his hands around his chest, and his eyes were filled with wise eyes.

Combined with the words "Pelicans Championship", the picture is full of sense.

Sports Illustrated's global sales are much higher than ESPN and TNT. This time, their choice of the Pelicans has factors to consider the global market.

It turned out that their choice was completely correct.

in the country, this issue of the magazine is in a completely out of stock.

Everyone has a copy, and the scene of buying magazines during Yao and Mai’s period is back.

Many students even discussed after class what data will Tang Tian get in the new season, how much progress will Jokic improve in the new season, whether Davis can break 20+ points per game, whether Boyn's three-point shooting percentage will explode, how many victories the Pelicans can win, etc.
