Chapter 830: The Era of Heroes Rising Together!
Conley, Jimmy Butler, Harris, Nowitzki, Embiid.
This is a standard five-star lineup!
Cuban knew that Nowitzki hadn't had a few years in his career.
Last season's lineup was not good enough, so spend more money and build a better lineup!
This is true love!
With this starting lineup, the Mavericks really have the strength to challenge the Rockets, Pelicans and Warriors in the West.
Warriors, Pelicans, Rockets, Mavericks, the West is really about to become a hell of a hegemony.
The Spurs are not far behind. Before officially signing Ginobili and Gasol, they used a strictly protected second-round pick to trade Bogut from the Warriors!
Duncan retired, Boban was signed by the Pelicans, and the Spurs were tight inside, but in exchange for Bogut, all problems were solved.
The Spurs have caught up with the strong military preparations in the West, leaving themselves in the first group in the West.
The reason why the Warriors did not send Bogut to the Blazers or Mavericks who broke out before is also very simple.
The Spurs and the Pelicans have grievances and entanglements. Strengthen the Spurs. This is an enemy of an enemy is a friend, and it can bring harm to direct competitors!
With five favorites in the West, it is foreseeable that the competition in the new season will be more intense than last season.
The team that can finally break out from the West is definitely a team full of gold.
The teams in the East have limited reinforcements, and it seems that the Cavaliers are still thriving.
But last season's loss kept them from standing still.
After sufficient negotiations, Hassan Whiteside finally chose to join the Cavaliers.
They eventually reached an agreement with the Heat to trade before and after. The Cavaliers sent Thaddeus Young and traded from the Heat to Whiteside.
What Whiteside signed was a four-year 98 million contract with a near-maximum salary, and the last year is a player option.
After completing this deal, the Cavaliers also formed a four-star lineup of James, Irving, Love and Whiteside.
"My god, what are they all doing? This is the rhythm of fire!"
"Cavaliers, Warriors, Pelicans, Rockets, Mavericks, Spurs... other teams say you play slowly, I want to go home!"
"The new season is definitely a tie, this will be one of the most exciting seasons in NBA history!"
"And the most interesting thing is the entanglement between the Pelicans and the Warriors, the real rise of the Rockets' Big Three, the charge of the Mavericks, oh yes, and the newly signed Whiteside, the relationship between him and the Pelicans There are also many grievances!"
"If the Cavaliers and Pelicans meet again in the finals, it will definitely be very exciting. Originally, the Cavaliers, LeBron, Pelicans, and Tang Tian are enough slots. Now come Whiteside, my God, this topic is too high Definitely going to explode!"
"Forget it, the king of the Western Conference this year must be the Warriors, and this year's finals will also be a battle of bravery, Pelicans? Let's stand aside this season!"
"The Pelicans were looked down upon just after winning the championship?"
"It's not to look down on, the Pelicans are very strong, but the lineup of the Cavaliers and Warriors is not strong enough to describe!"
"That's right, Warriors champion!"
"Knight Championship!"
"Pelican Championship!"
...
Although it is still very early before the opening of the new season, the fans are already impatient for the new season due to the scrambling for reinforcements of the various teams.
But after all, there are still three or four months before the start of the new season, and the long offseason will not really come until after the free agent market.
But for Tang Tian, he is destined to be busy this summer.
Not only is there going to be a wedding later, but also because there is a major match waiting for him before that.
Rio Olympics.
Because of Yao Ming's request, he will try his best to make the No. 13 jersey appear on the Olympic podium.
Even, he will try to make it to the top podium, and he will try to beat the seemingly unbeatable American team.
This is even more meaningful to him than winning the NBA championship.
Four years ago he was weak, just a role player for the Spurs, just a rookie who played for a year.
But now, he is already comparable to Jordan and has won all the individual honors of the NBA in a single season.
He has the strength to try now.
This trip to the Olympics is destined to be extraordinary for him.
There was less than a month before the opening of the Olympic Games, and when the free market was basically over, Tang Tian got on the plane back to China.
The training camp of the national team has already started, because many players of the red and blue teams have been trained before, and many players are already eager to try.
Not only Yao Ming, not only Tang Tian, but all members of the national team wanted to prove themselves and Chinese basketball in the Rio Olympics.
The grouping of the men's basketball team has been determined long ago. A total of 12 teams were divided into two groups, A and B.
The Chinese team was divided into Group A. Compared with Group B, the overall strength of this group is obviously stronger.
In addition to the Chinese team in Group A, the other five teams are the United States, France, Serbia, Brazil and Australia.
Needless to say, the U.S. team, since returning to the top of the world in 2008, they have become the invincible dream team again.
The French team is a team with very deep NBA genes. In terms of paper strength alone, they are definitely the strongest outside of the United States and Spain.
Parker, De Colo/Pitrus, Batum, Diaw, Gobert.
Such a starting lineup is at the playoff level even in the NBA.
Moreover, the players of the French men's basketball team have a very strong sense of national honor. They will all play in any competition, and this time Rio is no exception.
The Serbian men's basketball team has always been a strong European team and a strong team in the world. In this Olympic Games, they even pointed to defeating the United States.
Jokic, the third leader of the Pelicans is now one of the leaders of the Serbian men's basketball team.
His inside partner is also Boban Marjanovic who just joined the Pelicans.
At the small forward position, Champions League MVP and Timberwolves forward Belica is also a rising star.
The frontcourt combination of these three people is the standard configuration of the world's top teams.
Although the outside line is not as famous as the United States, Spain and France, its strength is not bad.
"King of Europe" Teodosic, and super rookie, Europe's most promising swingman Bogdan Bogdanovic.
One is the most experienced point guard in Europe, and the other is a young guard who can play. This backcourt is definitely not bad.
These three teams are strong enough, not to mention the Australian men's basketball team that advocates confrontation.
Although Ben Simmons, who has just become the No. 1 pick, will not play in this year's Olympics, no one dares to underestimate them.
Coupled with the host Brazil team playing at home.
In the past, fans often called the group of the Chinese team the group of death, but this time, they are in the real group of death!
