$1,485. A Deeper Understanding of Teammates

With this, Sun Ce started a legendary career that Stoudemire could never have imagined.

For four years, Sun Ce dominated the new generation, won two MVPs, two Finals MVPs, and a bunch of countless honors.

Now, Sun Ce, who is in the fifth year of his career, is at the junction of the new generation and the middle generation. He will be 24 years old in more than two months, but he has already begun to attack the dynasty.

This made Stoudemire sigh that the world is too crazy.

He saw with his own eyes that Sun Ce went from having only speed to becoming the most comprehensive player in the league.

After chatting with Sun Ce for a while, Stoudemire went for a physical examination.

After playing only 29 games last season, Stoudemire underwent surgery and recuperation this summer, and just finished rehabilitation in Miami. If the physical examination is passed, the contract can be officially signed, and Stoudemire will enter the recovery training stage next.

Stoudemire is expected to return in late November and early December, and may be able to participate in the team's confrontation training match as early as two to three weeks later.

There is no doubt that the addition of Stoudemire is a huge help in the early season. Sun Ce regrets that Stoudemire's return schedule is still a little late.

However, if they can get Stoudemire, they will definitely not compete with the Knicks for Kenyon Martin.

Because there is a game tomorrow, Randolph and Gasol are finally free today and do not need to do weight loss training. Sun Ce saw the two celebrating with Gatorade instead of wine in the lounge...

The focus is on these two. If these two guys have no self-discipline at all, there will be so many troubles.

But Sun Ce thought about it. If these two people train so hard every summer, their careers may be shortened. Both of them are heavyweight inside players, weighing more than 120 kilograms all year round, and they are technical players...

Sun Ce no longer dwells on this issue. Now he has to deal with the early season games well.

Larry Sanders has started his suspension, which will last for 5 games. Stoudemire can't play for the time being, which means at least the first five games of the season. They don't have to consider how to arrange the 13-man roster.

After the training camp and preseason games, Sun Ce has a better understanding of his teammates' current status and mentality, as well as his new teammates.

As for the Twin Bears, they feel that they are the strongest inside combination in the league.

If each of them loses 10 kilograms, Sun Ce thinks it's fine. They can attack and defend, and they have advantages over the Bulls' Griffin and Noah, and the Heat's Josh Smith and Chandler.

They have a longer cooperation time and better tacit understanding.

Paul George is like Tracy McGrady in Sun Ce's impression. His dormancy in the first three years did not block his brilliance.

Klay Thompson has made steady progress. He has not developed any other new techniques, but he has trained his three-point shooting to the S-level! Defense has also become more stable with the weight gain within an acceptable range.

Larry Sanders, Beverley, Tony Allen, and Prince all tend to be pure defenders. The team positioning has not changed much. At most, they have the ability to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers.

Yi Jianlian is the most surprising. His technical characteristics have not changed much, but his three-point shooting is more accurate!

At the championship celebration party at the end of last season, Sun Ce said, "Brother Yi Jianlian, it would be better if you can shoot three-pointers more accurately." Yi Jianlian started practicing, and after a summer, he actually made three-pointers reach the edge of the first-class level.

In terms of new players, Livingston, Hardaway Jr., Gobert, and Richard Jefferson, each of them has their own characteristics.

Livingston has comprehensive skills. Although he is not strong, he has a high basketball IQ. He has a physical advantage as a guard and is very good at using his advantages.

Richard Jefferson is like a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. Just like Carter, he played with Paul George in training and compared dunks. In the absence of confrontation and sufficient physical strength, his jumping height is still amazing, and his three-point shooting is very good. Although he does not maintain as good a state as Carter, he is a reliable forward substitute.

Hardaway Jr. is a bit special. His playing style is completely different from his father. He can't be said to stick to the ball, but when the ball reaches him, it is the end. He will definitely throw it. He also does not have his father's defensive ability. He has enough body, but his defensive awareness and skills are not good. He is really not like his father at all.

Gobert… has awareness, height, and is as mobile as Thabeet and Hibbert, but he is too impetuous and can’t be relied on for a year or two.

Through this period of time to understand the team’s new lineup, Sun Ce is ready to welcome the new season.

…

At noon, the morning training ended, and today’s afternoon training is mainly personal technical training.

Like Hardaway Jr., Beverly, Yi Jianlian and other catchers and shooters, they all need to further strengthen or stabilize their shooting level.

After lunch, Sun Ce prepared to take a nap and sleep until two o’clock to continue training.

Coming to the lounge, occupying a sofa, Sun Ce thought of one thing before sleeping, opened his mobile phone, and checked the news.

At 12 noon, the three major media announced the last list of the final team and player strength rankings.

This time, Sun Ce finally saw that he was the first in the three lists!

ESPN, T.N.T, and Sports Illustrated all ranked Sun Ce first in the player power list.

But Sun Ce looked at ESPN with a sour tone…

There is an explanation for the ranking of each player, and T.N.T just needs to brag.

Although Sports Illustrated no longer wanted to help the Lakers, which was sponsored by its parent company at a high price, to hook up with Sun Ce, it still listed Sun Ce's honors last season and his age.

But ESPN's explanation for Sun Ce's ranking first was: last season's scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocked shot champion, and finals MVP, no matter how we choose, we can only rank him first.

"Powerless", ESPN actually used this short sentence.

So, Sun Ce saw ESPN ignited public opinion in the forum again. No matter whether it was scolded or not, ESPN found a way to get the heat again.

Sun Ce felt that compared with other media, ESPN was truly worthy of the title of "uncrowned king".

This year, their Grizzlies have as many as 5 players in the top 50 of the league, and almost every media ranked their strongest five-man team in the top 50 of the league.

In addition to him, Sun, ESPN ranked Paul George 15th, Randolph 17th, Gasol 31st, and Klay Thompson 45th.

In T.N.T, Randolph ranked 14th, Paul George ranked 16th, Gasol ranked 27th, and Klay Thompson ranked 40th.

In Sports Illustrated, Paul George ranked 17th, Randolph ranked 19th, Gasol ranked 22nd, and Klay Thompson ranked 44th.

In terms of T.N.T's ranking, Sun Ce felt it was quite fair, but the other two media were obviously making trouble, and Sun Ce didn't care. Randolph didn't care about this and it wouldn't affect them.

However, Paul George received great recognition!
