One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Four. On the Eve of the Opening Match

Each team in the preseason is showing off their changes, some showing off their strength. The Bulls won all 8 games, averaging more than 20 points per game. The double No. 1 pick is simply unsolvable.

The Spurs also won all 8 games in the preseason, with a net score of more than 15 points. They beat whoever they caught.

These two teams are similar to the Grizzlies. They did not sign free agents from the Development League who are difficult to find jobs in the training camp. They went directly into the preparation mode, playing cooperation when they should play cooperation, and playing defense when they should play defense.

The Lakers tried to create various lineups for James. Some played well and some did not play well.

Although most of the players added by the Lakers this summer came for the Kobe-James combination, they did not come for them. They must be suitable to partner with James. They need to adjust their playing style, and there may even be trades.

Sun Ce was also paying attention to other teams when playing in the preseason, but he did not take the results of the preseason seriously. The Hornets beat the Hawks and Heat in the same division, but it does not mean that the Hornets are stronger than the two teams.

Sun Ce is concerned about the changes in the playing styles of those teams and the chemical reactions they show.

Among them, the most concerned team is not the Lakers and Spurs, the two direct competitors in the West, but the Bulls in the East.

After being traded to Chicago, Griffin seemed to have experienced hard training in the summer. Sun Ce saw the news that Malone joined Sloan's coaching staff. Although he did not sign as an assistant coach, he became a special consultant, specifically responsible for guiding Griffin, who is very similar to him in terms of body shape, athletic ability and touch except for his arm span.

The template given to Griffin by the media, the evaluation of fans, and the analysis of experts that Sun Ce saw before all said that Griffin was like Shawn Kemp, but as he played, he turned into Malone.

Indeed, Griffin is really hardworking. What Sun Ce knows is that Griffin can use the body of a power forward and a strong and violent power forward to practice the skills of a small forward. Although normal people think that Griffin's playing style is off, being able to practice skills means that Griffin is extremely hardworking.

Now he is learning Malone's style of play, with mid-range and short-range shooting, low-post facing the basket and back-to-basket as the main scoring methods...

Sun Ce felt a headache just thinking about it!

Also, Griffin, who learned to play from Malone, met Rose coached by Sloan...

"Brother Alian, do you think the league sent Griffin to the Bulls specifically to let the Bulls form a real championship-level lineup?"

"..."Yi Jianlian had never thought about these things and didn't know how to answer Sun Ce.

Yi Jianlian is not someone who would consider these things, but when asked,

Thinking about it, he said: "The league wants to create a super team in the East."

This is indeed obvious, although Griffin is a restricted free agent and has the right to refuse the offer and sign a one-year qualification offer to force a trade rejection clause.

But Griffin took the initiative to leave, and the Clippers wanted to trade Griffin, and there was no shortage of teams that wanted him, but in the end they only got Boozer and two first-round picks in return, which was obviously to support the Bulls.

The core combination of the two No. 1 picks, Luol Deng, and Noah, Sun Ce feels that in terms of numbers, only the core five of their Grizzlies can compare with the Bulls.

…

With the end of the preseason, the league and major TV stations and online media have begun to hype the popular opening games of this year's regular season.

The Grizzlies and Spurs, the Lakers and Mavericks, the Heat and the Nets, the Bulls and the 76ers, on October 31 and 1, two days, two focus opening games every day, made the fans who have been waiting for the real game for a long time after a long period of inactivity and few highlights in the preseason very excited.

There are too many highlights in the next season.

Can the Grizzlies dynasty be born?

Changing the jersey back to No. 23, the 23+24 combination is crazy.

The two No. 1 picks have shown super dominance since the beginning of the preseason.

The Nets' "Galactic Battleship", regardless of anything else, seeing Deron + Anthony + Garnett + contemporary Jordan + Lopez + Kirilenko... such a bunch of stars gathered together, it can't be too bad.

Howard bombarded his old club, can the duo of Evans + Gasol fight back?

The new trio formed by the Knicks, the boss is willing to spend money, and signed many players with salaries higher than the market value. I wonder if there will be a bunch of retirement contracts again.

With Durant injured, can Westbrook seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the lord's triple-double rule?

Paul and Deron, both with super lineups, can they continue the year's Tianjiao duel in the East...

...

Too many things to watch.

On October 30, the day before the start of the regular season, the Spurs came to San Antonio.

Sun Ce got up early today as usual.

To some extent, Sun Ce is also the kind of self-disciplined person who drives people crazy. Anyway, his teammates, management, and coaching staff all sincerely admire his self-discipline in preparing for the game.

Even with his recovery ability, few people can stick to it for four years like him.

Sun Ce trained until 8:30, and his teammates arrived one after another.

In the past two days, they have made full preparations for the opening game with the Spurs.

After three years, other teams have adapted to the Spurs' style of play... adapted to the Spurs' strength, adapted to the terrible state of the Spurs' No. 21, adapted to Gay's stability, adapted to Parker's push, adapted to Ginobili's demon...

There is no other good way except to rely on strength to fight the Spurs.

Today, the Grizzlies only had two training sessions in the afternoon. They were resting and preparing for the first game. The Grizzlies wanted to win the game on the night of the championship rings.

But this time, there was one more teammate. Stoudemire arrived at the stadium on time at 9 o'clock in the morning!

Seeing Stoudemire, Sun Ce was very surprised and took the initiative to hug him: "Amar'e, I didn't expect that we would become teammates again..."

"I also find it incredible. It's great to be teammates with you, Noah, again. It's a pity that Steve has retired..."

Stoudemire also hugged Sun Ce enthusiastically. It was this hugging posture that was different from four and a half years ago... Stoudemire thought of Sun Ce, who was still a freshman at the time and came to participate in the fan feedback event for the insignificant farewell game. Thinking of the picture of hugging Sun Ce for publicity at that time... It was too weird.

Seeing Sun Ce, Stoudemire felt what it meant to be different, even though he didn't know the word.

When I first met Sun Ce, I thought he would only play one offensive round in the opening game before being substituted out. Who would have known that in the team training match used for publicity, Sun Ce would be able to show such talent, and then get the opportunity to show his talent in the official game, and from then on he couldn't stop!
