One Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-Six. ESPN, You Are Hurting Me!

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Luoqiu Chinese] The fastest update! No ads!

On the 16th, the day before the regular season opener between the Grizzlies and Pelicans, Sun Ce woke up in the morning and the first thing he did was to make sure mentally that the next game was not a preseason game, but an important regular season game. Opening match!

"King of the Opening Game (A):

Goal: The host needs to maintain an undefeated record in the regular season opener.

Event reward: When the host's regular season opening game winning streak continues, each time the host wins a regular season opening game, a random skill upgrade card will be obtained.

Failure penalty: When the host loses the regular season opener, for every number of points lost, the host will enter a sluggish state for how many games. "

The first thing after getting up, Sun Ce took a look at the important events of tonight's game.

The reward is a skill upgrade card!

In addition to this, there are several other incidents carried over from last season.

"The Bully", who has another double pick tonight, may continue to trigger.

Designated upgrade card fragments for the "back dribble turn jumper" skill related to Irving, and designated upgrade card fragments for the "error" skill related to Anthony Davis.

This is also important.

There is also the "Little Bully's Authority" that continues this season.

“The authority of the little bully(s):

Goal 1: Host through other means,

Won the 2013-2014 regular season MVP. (completed)

The all-out competition with various MVP contenders has begun, and subsequent goals are yet to be triggered.

Event reward: S-level core strength training card. "

Regarding this incident, Sun Ce felt that it was a pity. Before the last month of last season, God knew that Sun Ce would have a chance to average a triple-double. In order to compete for rankings, Sun Ce did not care about the number of assists per game. Unexpectedly, for the first time in his career, Sun Ce Averaged 10 assists per game...not counting just one game in the 2008-09 season.

As a result, the goal was to compete for MVP and start a comprehensive competition with major MVP candidates.

Sun Ce feels that in the system's judgment, winning the third MVP will definitely not be as difficult as averaging a triple-double per game.

This is also true.

However, in last summer's plan, there was indeed no time to practice this. It would take a full 36 days to train.

In addition to these three events, there are also the Road to the Bear King and a triple-double competition with the Turtle.

The Road of the Bear King is too difficult. You have to create a dynasty to get the final reward.

Competing with Turtle for a triple-double... Sun Ce is probably going to be finished in the new season.

In this season's training camp and preseason games, Sun Ce clearly felt that the team had strengthened his team's task of connecting points, reducing his consumption of holding the ball and attacking hard, trying to rely on tactics to reduce his offensive pressure and allow him to be more Participate in the offense as a setter and scoring point.

This is an obvious change after Brian Shaw joined the team, just like Kobe Bryant who was joined by Gasol in the second half of the 07-08 season.

Although Brian Shaw's Mengcun triangle version of the triangle offense has not yet been developed, the method he learned from Zen Master to reduce the pressure on the strongest players was used by coach Hollins.

Sun Ce felt a little weird thinking about playing the Pelicans tomorrow.

In the past, Sun Ce always heard old people say that greenhouse vegetables are not as delicious as those grown naturally. The educated old people would be more fashionable and say that the "biological clock of vegetables" is broken, so they are not so delicious.

Sun Ce has always felt that there is a biological clock in 24 hours a day, but this time the regular season is about to start in mid-October, and he is really not used to it.

But it's okay, I just feel weird mentally. Physically, after training in the summer and playing 8 games in the Basketball World Cup, Sun Ce's condition is online.

As for other people who are not used to the rhythm of the season... If people from other teams do not play national team games in the summer, it is probably about the same. As for the coming year, maybe the league will increase the number of preseason games, and the players will feel better over time. You'll get used to it.

The best case scenario is to move the training camp a few days forward. Since it has already been moved forward 10 days, it is not a big problem to move it forward four or five days. Freeing up five more days will be enough to arrange two or three more games.

As for increasing the length of the training camp, Sun Ce believes that it is necessary to reduce injuries. Many teams complain about too few preseason games and are also defending the increase in the length of the training camp.

It is true that many players are not so self-disciplined. ESPN broke the news and refused to complete statistics. There are currently 461 players under contract this season, and 20% of them have not played even one complete game during the entire offseason. basketball training.

The schedule is different from the past, and the rhythm entering the new season is a bit problematic. Sun Ce can only adjust in the direction of strengthening psychological cues.

He is always in better shape than most players!

Every time he plays against the double champion, it’s Sun Ce’s lucky day. No, when he went out for a morning jog in the morning, Sun Ce picked up a 25-cent coin. When he met the Memphis City Hall sent three shifts around his house. While patrolling the police, Sun Ce took the initiative to hand over the coins he found.

The policeman was helpless and collected 75 cents to buy a bottle of pure water.

In Memphis, Sun Ce and his family feel safe because the Memphis City Hall protects him well. This is their God of Wealth, and they are eager to support him. His treatment is no worse than that of senior members of the British royal family.

During the season each year, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Memphis can exceed 1 million. According to the Memphis Exit and Entry Administration, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Memphis in the past few years has reached 610,000 in the highest year.

The key is that these people have good spending power.

…

For the opening game, the team has been preparing since the preseason. In the last three games, the Grizzlies have already started preparing for the game against the Pelicans, not caring about winning or losing.

However, the Hawks are really good. Sun Ce clearly feels that the Hawks are also preparing for the regular season. Neither team is targeting the other, but under different conditions, the two teams have won a big victory over the other team.

The two teams did not target each other because they did not regard each other as competitors and were not in the same division. The Grizzlies have only one goal - the championship. As for the Hawks, Sun Ce estimated that they still don’t know what their goal for the new season is, just like the Grizzlies who just got the first generation of core lineup in the 09-10 season.

The preparations in the morning went smoothly. Blake and Stoudemire will rest tonight, and the other 13 players will be on the activation list.

The starting lineup is very clear, the ultimate five-man team composed of the Mengcun triangle + the two strongest power forwards of the Trail Blazers since the new century.

As for whether they played well or not, it is hard to say in the preseason. The Mavericks lost five games in a row in the preseason, and the Houston team defeated them twice. As for Houston, the team strength rankings announced this year showed the city of Houston on the first day, second to last, second only to the Clippers in the probability of competing for the No. 1 pick.

At the beginning of the season, the newly appointed Clippers general manager Sam Hinkie bluntly stated that they wanted to get one of the top pick favorites, Carl Towns or Jahlil Okafor, and was fined 50,000 US dollars by the league.

Due to the failure to keep Howard, the average performance last season, and the playoffs did not meet expectations, the 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie was fired in the summer, and Sun Ce immediately asked John to sign him...

At noon, the Pelicans came to Memphis to prepare for tomorrow's opening game.

However, Sun Ce has no time to pay attention to the Pelicans now. He eats a nutritious meal at noon and reads the news.

Yesterday, the sixth-to-last team rankings were released, and only the top five will be released today; the star rankings have been released from 20 to 11, and the final top 10 will be released today.

It seems to be a tacit agreement. This year, Kobe was ranked 13th in all three major lists. This is the lowest Kobe ranking since Sports Illustrated and EA Games' NBALIVE game started ranking players in 2000. The first time he dropped out of the top ten was the first time this ranking was made. Kobe, who was in his fourth year, was ranked 11th. T.N.T and ESPN only had this ranking later.

This time, even Sports Illustrated did not insist on putting Kobe in the top ten.

Duncan returned to the top 20 in the rankings of ESPN and Sports Illustrated this year, with ESPN ranking him 12th and Sports Illustrated ranking him 16th.

Paul George made a leap in the rankings this season, with the highest ranking being 11th. He was considered by T.N.T as a player who is close to the top ten in the league. Aldridge ranked 17th at the highest. When the top 20 rankings were announced yesterday, many people thought that Aldridge was ranked so high because he had received attention after joining the Grizzlies. Previously, Aldridge's highest ranking was only 29th.

Klay Thompson ranked 24th at the highest, and Randolph ranked 44th at the highest.

The Grizzlies had as many as five players in the top 50, occupying one-tenth of the seats.

Among the other players, the highest ranking was Yi Jianlian, 82nd, and Larry Sanders ranked just 100th at the highest.

Pierce ranked 119th, Carter ranked 177th, Tony Allen ranked 191st...

Now the Grizzlies only have Sun Ce's ranking that has not been released.

At 12:10 noon, ESPN took the lead in announcing the top five teams and the top ten stars.

Los Angeles Lakers, James.

No suspense, but... Sun Ce saw Anthony Davis in second place!

Sun Ce remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. In 2014, Anthony Davis surpassed Durant and ranked second in ESPN's power rankings.

Although the other two lists also ranked Anthony Davis in the top ten, they were at the end of the top ten.

The top five teams in ESPN's team rankings: Lakers, Bulls, Spurs, Grizzlies, Heat.

Star rankings: James, Anthony Davis, Sun Ce, Durant, Rose, Paul, Harden, Westbrook, Evans, Griffin.

Sun Ce is really used to this...

Then, the other two media also announced the rankings.

Sports Illustrated's team rankings: Lakers, Heat, Grizzlies, Spurs, Bulls.

Star rankings: James, Sun Ce, Rose, Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Evans, Griffin, Paul, Anthony Davis.

T.N.T's team rankings: Lakers, Grizzlies, Spurs, Heat, Bulls.

Star rankings: James, Sun Ce, Durant, Harden, Griffin, Paul, Rose, Westbrook, Anthony Davis, Evans.

As the defending champion, with the core lineup retained, so many old players leaving in the summer and new players joining, it is no problem to rank first in the battle power rankings.

Star rankings, Finals MVP, most of the time are ranked first in the new season rankings.

Since 2000, except for Billups, Wade, Pierce, and Nowitzki, most of the other Finals MVPs are ranked first in the media rankings or in EA games and 2K games... In fact, they are O'Neal, Duncan, Kobe, and Sun Ce.

I don't know if I have matured, but Sun Ce didn't feel angry when he saw that he was not the first this time. Instead, when he saw Westbrook's fans supporting him, Sun Ce felt weird.

But on the other hand, Anthony Davis, who had just finished lunch and came to the visiting team's training ground to rest for a while and start preparing for tomorrow night's game with the team, was going to curse - ESPN, you ruined me!

……

……

At 6:40 pm on October 17, the opening day, after interviews, preparations, and warm-ups, the players of both teams entered the court.

After the Pelicans played away, they watched Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Randolph on the opposite side play one after another, and watched Yi Jianlian, Larry Sanders, Pierce, Carter, Tony Allen in the Grizzlies' substitute lineup... Anthony Davis couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Irving mourned for his best teammate, and he must not be targeted to death tonight!

But this is also good news, which gives him more opportunities to score or organize the offense.

On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce didn't have any idea about yesterday's star rankings. If he was the first in both lists and Anthony Davis took away one of the first places, he would explode.

Since neither is the first, it doesn't matter much.

But teammates don't think so. Old teammates habitually think that Sun Ce wants to get this No. 1 pick. The new players more or less understand Sun Ce's revengeful character. Under the instigation of Randolph who is making trouble and Klay Thompson who is making trouble in secret, tonight, they are ready to beat up Brother Brow!

However, the opponent is very strong!

Anthony Davis, who was only in his second year last season, played 76 times and averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.1 blocks per game. Perhaps in terms of overall strength, only Sun Ce is stronger than Anthony Davis, and Paul George may not be that strong.

Sun Ce is looking at the ability evaluation of the opposing players after entering the court.

"Leonardo S-, offense A, defense S... about the same as Paul George! As the main scorer, he has the ability to average 20 points per game, and his stronger point is defense.

Irving A+... equal to Mamba. He made rapid progress in the first two years, but now it has slowed down. Maybe the next breakthrough will be his peak.

Valanciunas A-, Compass A-, Lopez B-, Asik B, Ryan Anderson A-, Rivers B-, Luke Babbitt B, Quincy Pondexter C+..."

Sun Ce looked at the new lineup of the Pelicans. This summer, the Pelicans let Aminu go in order to make room for a center to fight against the Grizzlies, Spurs, and Mavericks.

Valanciunas, Jason Smith, Asik, these three centers, the Pelicans really want to achieve results this year. They sent away two future first-round picks and took the last year of Asik's poisonous contract, which only occupies 8.33 million space but has a salary of 15 million, just to provide Anthony Davis with enough meat shields.

With two cores, three first-class stars, and a deep lineup made up of the rookie contracts of the two cores, Sun Ce dare not underestimate this team.

The cheerleaders came out and danced, announcing the start of the new season.

For the first time in three years, no rings were given at the beginning of the season, and Sun Ce felt a little strange.

After the cheerleading performance, Sun Ce took the double 3D to greet the familiar players on the opposite side.

Ryan Anderson, who averaged 18 points per game last season, averaged 3.1 three-pointers per game with a 40% three-point shooting rate, as many as Klay Thompson, was one of the only four players who averaged 3+ three-pointers last season.

Sun Ce didn't know before, but when Klay Thompson said he wanted to train with Ryan Anderson this summer, Sun Ce asked around and found out that Klay Thompson had known Ryan Anderson, who was then at UC Berkeley, when he was in high school in Los Angeles.

When shaking hands with Anthony Davis, Sun Ce felt a hint of sadness in his eyes, and was confused - what happened to this talented power forward who had become one of the top ten players in the league?

After the greetings, Sun Ce returned to his own bench. After listening to the coaching staff's final pre-match arrangements, Sun Ce wiped off the magnesium powder and was about to go on the court, when the system prompt came!

"Anthony Davis is seen as a genius who is expected to surpass the host, S-level event Bully Phase 3 event: You are still far away..."
