Chapter 682 Yao Ming's first show for the Lakers(1/2)
When the post-match champion award ceremony sounded, the familiar national anthem spanned the entire Eurasian continent thousands of miles away, and the fans were already crazy.
To be honest, in the absence of Yao Ming, many people do not think that the men's basketball team can still complete this dynasty.
But they still have expectations.
The situation of the Chinese men's basketball team is completely different from that of the American men's basketball team.
With the US men's basketball team, players have been renewed. This group of super stars cannot be changed, and their level has always been there.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team was able to reach its current height entirely because of the existence of Sun Hao and Yao Ming, because they forcibly elevated the men's basketball team to such a height.
Or you can understand that once Sun Hao and Yao Ming no longer reach their peak, the fall of the men's basketball team is almost inevitable.
Sun Hao, who is "once a hundred years" and Yao Ming, who is "once a hundred years" means that you will basically never meet again.
So if the men's basketball team has the opportunity to complete the dynasty, then this time London will be the only opportunity for Sun Hao or the Chinese men's basketball team.
Now their expectations come true, the men's basketball team has really done it!
At this time, Yao Ming, who was recovering from injury in Los Angeles, was wet with his eyes as the national flag was rising in front of him.
Although he did not participate in the competition with injuries than in history, his heart has always been tied to the men's basketball team, and he has not lost every game.
When the men's basketball team plays well, he cheers, and when the men's basketball team plays poorly, he feels sad.
To describe it in one sentence, it means: Although a person has not gone, his heart is with him.
So at the moment of winning the championship, his excitement was no less than that of the men's basketball team members who went there.
When the camera was given to Sun Hao and Sun Hao held his wrist, Yao Ming was even more touched.
Many people may have almost forgotten that one of the important reasons why the Lakers were able to enter the Western Conference Finals last season was that Sun Hao was on the court with an injury.
After only half a month of rest, Sun Hao went to prepare for the Olympics again, and then the Olympics, and it never stopped.
Although there is no news report from the outside world, Sun Hao's wrist injury must have had an impact on him.
But even in this situation, Sun Hao did nothing and led the team to do it.
What is masculinity, probably so!
Yao Ming made a determination in his heart that no matter how difficult it is or how strong the opponent is, he would help Sun Hao win another championship in Los Angeles.
...
The Olympics have come to an end, the most important thing in this year's long-term period has ended, and the pace of the new season is not far away.
It was at this moment that the Lakers completed the signing of the last person.
Their quota was given to the "relationship household" Raga Bell.
This is really a relationship. When Sun Hao was with the Warriors, the Warriors signed Bale because of Sun Hao.
Bale did not perform well with the Warriors last season, especially the sluggish outside feel. The Warriors did not execute the draft in the last year of his contract, and Bale also became a free agent.
The defender also lost the most important shot, which means that both 3 and D are gone, so he has never found his next home.
The Lakers finally gave Bale, saying that it was to improve his playoff experience, but more because of Sun Hao.
In fact, anyone can see that the Lakers' rotation is enough now.
The lineup has been confirmed and the upcoming new season is welcomed.
The free market is turbulent this year and the lineup of multiple teams has changed greatly, which has also made ESPN's new season's strength prediction list attracting much attention.
The last list is as follows:
One, the Warriors
We have many reasons to put other teams in this position, but we also have more reasons to put the Warriors in this position.
As a dynasty team, they have maintained their core lineup and the overall strength of the players is still on the rise. They will still be the strongest team in the new season.
Maybe as Kevin Durant said, they really should thank Sun, who made this team a true invincible division.
The expected new season lineup: Curry, Klay Thompson, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.
Two, Knicks
Hibert's joining solved their weakest inside links, while Kidd's joining made up for the playoff experience and control they needed the most.
It is worth mentioning that Kidd now has a good three-pointer, and he is more suitable to partner with James than at his peak.
The expected new season lineup: Kidd, Wade, Anthony, James, Hibert.
Three, Lakers
Both teams in Los Angeles are eligible to appear in this position, but in the end the Lakers are better because the combination of Yao and Sun is really exciting.
If it weren't for the existence of the first two super teams, the Lakers should be at a higher position.
The expected new season lineup: Sun Hao, Jimmy Butler, Carter, Millsap, Yao Ming.
Fourth, the Clippers
As mentioned earlier, the Clippers are completely stronger than the top, but their impression scores were greatly reduced by being upset by the Lakers last year.
However, Steve Nash's joining has brought people's expectations of this team back again, and the new season's Los Angeles derby will attract more attention.
The expected new season lineup: Nash, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Howard.
Five, Bulls
In the average season, the teams that appear in this position may no longer be the first-tier team in the championship competition, but this time it is not.
The Bulls retained their Big Three squad, and Yi Jianlian performed brilliantly at this year's Olympics.
Reinforcement signing Ray Allen will be their best reinforcement for the season, and Chicago has the strength to challenge any previous team.
The expected new season lineup: Paul, Ray Allen, John Salmons, Yi Jianlian, Bosh.
Six, Mavericks
Delong's signing has attracted a lot of discussion in the free market, but this has indeed greatly increased the strength of the Mavericks.
The Mavericks' performance in the past two seasons has been impressive. Deron has been added this season. Like the Bulls, they also have the strength to challenge any previous team.
Moreover, this team has a lot of experience in the playoffs, and no team would want to encounter them in the playoffs.
The expected new season lineup: Deron, Deronti West, Iguodala, Nowitzki, Chandler.
Seven, Grizzlies
Ross suffered a considerable injury last season, but we have reason to believe he can make a comeback.
And once Rose stays healthy, we can see the young army that looked like it could beat any opponent two years ago.
The expected new season lineup: Ross, Tony Allen, Rudy Gay, Ruhr Dun, Mark Gasol.
Eight, Spurs
The Spurs are one year older, and their competitiveness seems to have declined by another level.
This is true, but Kawhi Leonard's rapid growth has brought new expectations for it.
Maybe this team will even bring surprises to people and let people experience why they are called the old-fashioned team.
The expected new season lineup: Parker, Stephen Jackson, Kawhi Leonard, Duncan, Dejuan Blair.
Nine, Thunder
The Thunder's performance last season was impressive, and they are no longer just a playoff-level team.
And there is also a very important figure, Jeff Green.
After a long heart surgery and recovery, Green returns, and the Thunder signed a four-year, 40 million contract with him.
This is the trust of the Thunder management in the core of this former team, and it is also a gamble.
If Green can even 80% of the state before being injured, then this contract will become a great value contract.
At the same time, this will also make the Thunder's strength higher than before.
The only problem is that Billups, who helped them improve last season, will leave the team, and there will be a lot of uncertainty.
The expected new season is: Westbrook, Sovlosa, Jeff Green, Griffin, Jordan Jr.
...
After reading this list of ESPN, there are about two of the most realistic reactions from fans.
First, there are really many teams that have the ability to compete for the championship this season. From first to ninth, you can list ten or eight reasons for any team to win the championship.
Second, the strength of the West this year is really terrifying. Among the nine teams that you think have reasons to win the championship, there are seven in the West.
This is not a separatist rule by a group of heroes, this is a huge battle in the west!
To put it in a very vivid way, the final champion team may not be from the West, but the last team to win the Western Conference is definitely worthless.
This kind of situation is very stressful for some teams, but it is what he wants most for the Lakers or Sun Hao.
Because the reason he chose the Lakers was to challenge him!
He did this last season and really couldn't help that group of people. However, if Yao Ming still fails this season, he won't need to mention it if he surpasses Jordan in the future.
