The Godfather of Basketball - v2 Chapter 817

Potter was there, but his back injury was still recovering. It was a bit like when he first saw Deron. He was next to the stadium, watching his teammates training and riding a bike.

Seeing this scene seems to have met, Tang Tian has to do the same thing as before.

The only difference is that Deron originally represented immediate combat power, while Potter represented the team’s future.

Tang Tian and Mitchell greeted them and went to find Potter.

Potter saw Tang Tian coming over, and got off the bike soon.

But compared to Delong, he was much more deflated.

Tang Tian chatted with him for a while, and had the feeling of chatting with college students in those past lives.

After the interview, he went into the system.

The system has not shown much in the past two years, he has not used the honor point, there are 5 points left on the account.

Entering the system this time, in addition to exchanging an iron waist for Potter, he also had to exchange an iron knee for Anthony.

Now that it’s decided to start Anthony and sign a two-year contract, this is something to pay for.

Otherwise, in the state of the Knicks last season, this “little melon” has to become a “little bitter melon” directly.

Potter was stepping on a bicycle, feeling a warm current flowing around his waist, and then looking at Tang Tian standing on the sidelines, he had an inexplicable intimacy.

Well, it must be because the other party is the boss.

Anthony was on vacation in Europe, and while he was holding a **** model, he suddenly felt his knees warm, and then Tang Tian appeared unconsciously in his mind.

“My dear, what’s wrong?” The model saw his narrow eyes and smiled and pinched his waist.

“It’s okay.” Anthony shook his head awkwardly, feeling inexplicable.

When the time comes to September, the team members are returning from the holiday one after another.

Including core players such as Irving, George, Butler, even Anthony also returned to the team to train in advance.

The Nets are determined to defend, but the 76ers in the east and the Warriors and Rockets in the west will be a very difficult task.

However, after losing 0-2 last season and sweeping the Warriors 4-0, the team’s morale and mental appearance are very good.

Anthony has also been integrated very quickly, and his condition looks very good.

However, even if he has an iron knee, it is difficult to recover to the peak level. Now it is at most 60%. The most obvious degradation is the poor defense. The decline in movement speed allows him to play only the fourth position .

After Tang Tian exchanged him and Potter, he now has 1 honor point, and can’t exchange anything else, only to let Rogers grasp his defensive habits alone.

Because the more active area of ​​the fourth position is inside, this is easier to handle than Irving.

Time flies, and in the beginning of October, the footsteps of the new season have unknowingly arrived.

The Nets in the preseason and the past two seasons are almost the same, basically half-time running and half-time fumble team rotation.

The result is different from the past two years. Both aspects surprised the coaching staff and the outside world.

After running in last season, the Nets started a new season with amazing chemistry. The pass between Jokic, Irving, George and Butler was dazzling, and the Nets’ offense played like mercury. .

With this tacit understanding, even without Anthony, the strength is greatly improved than last season.

In other words, if we play another round of the Finals with the Warriors last season, we might just swipe it.

In the rotation stage, Mitchell’s performance also made everyone shine. He changed from a pure assaulter of last season to a tactical core, taking into account his teammates while attacking, and passing accuracy compared to last season. Marked progress.

Although the Nets lost Rondo in the summer, Mitchell could be self-reliant.

Yi Jianlian and Kuzma also cut seamlessly, and the two will definitely become the most important rotation in the new season.

What was surprising was the position of the point guard and small forward.

After playing for two seasons as a marginal player, Murray finally ushered in the opportunity this season, and he finally grasped it.

A more mature and oppressive defense, more stable shooting, still impactful rebounding and passing average league ability, his performance in the preseason has surpassed this year’s No. 7 show Sexton , Will be the first substitute behind Irving.

This result is also in line with Tang Tian’s expectations.

Murray also has very good physical talents. If he hasn’t improved in two years, he can only sell as Brogden.

Tucker was traded away, Mitchell, Porter and Kuzma are also better offensively, and the backup lineup will have insufficient defensive capabilities. Murray can make up for this.

Another surprise is the small forward position.

Maybe it ’s been a long time since the injury (the university only played 3 games). Despite exchanging the iron waist, Porter did n’t make use of his own characteristics. The soft feel like Durant in high school was full in the preseason. Turned into iron, and there were rookie fouls on the defensive end.

The superstar embryos only showed the embryos, and it will take a while before the formation.

Ding Yan Yuhang, who was originally the second substitute for small forward position, seized the opportunity.

Although the body is relatively weak and the upper limit is not too high, his 100% investment in the game allows him to fully exert his ability.

The positive running position in the fast break, the impact of positional battles, the complement and toughness in defense, all left a very deep impression on the coaching staff and fans.

In seven preseason games, he averaged 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds and shot 46% from the field.

His performance allowed him to beat other unsecured teams and stayed on the team’s final roster, and earned himself a position in the rotation.

After playing the preseason, the team’s rotation was finally determined.

Starting: Irving, Butler, George, Anthony, Jokic ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Substitute (in rotation order): Mitchell, Yi Jianlian, Murray, Kuzma, Ding Yan Yuhang / Bamot.

Bench players: Sexton, Porter, Robinson.

After the preseason, the new season officially kicked off.

Prior to the start of the regular season, ESPN conducted a wave of strength rankings for each team in accordance with the habit.

The five-star warrior ranked first with no doubt.

ESPN’s official evaluation is: As long as Cousins ​​can return to the level of 60% to 70%, they will be invincible in the league.

The defending champion is in second place.

ESPN’s comment: After the introduction of Anthony, the Nets lineup looks more powerful, but after losing core rotation players such as Oden, Rondo and Tucker last season, they lost the bench advantage and want to defend the new season It will be difficult, but the starting core is basically unchanged, which makes them the strongest team besides the Warriors.
