Time always passed by unconsciously, and I rested for almost 4 months.The training camp for the players is in full swing. More than 30 teams in the league are actively preparing for the regular season in more than a month.

After a summer of reshuffle, the structure of the league has shown a completely different pattern from the previous season.However, the overall pattern of "strong in the east and weak in the west" remains unchanged.There is no way to cause the alliance to have a pattern of strong east and west.

Since the "Post-Jordan Era" when the "Airman" retired for the second time, the East has been weak and the West has been strengthening.As a result, the development of the east and the west has become seriously unbalanced.

During the peak period of the Spurs' two championships and the Lakers' three consecutive championships, they were still uncrowned kings like the Blazers and Kings, and the Mavericks and Timberwolves were very explosive and impactful.

Even though last season's championship was snatched by the Heat, the West in the "post-O'Neal era" is still getting stronger.

In the East, the defending champion Miami Heat is still talking, and the newly-emerged Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James are competing with each other in the East and West.The Pistons are heading for decline step by step!In addition, the other teams in the West are not very competitive in the West.

In the West, although in the Western Conference semifinals, even if the defending champion lost to the Dallas Mavericks, they eventually lost and lost the chance to advance.However, they never made a comeback in the new season.

During the offseason, the Spurs went smoothly, retained the offensive guard Ginobili, introduced long-range shooter Brent Barry, free agent Bowen accepted the team's salary cut and signed with the team, allowing the ball The team is working step by step, playing steadily and advancing steadily. There is no doubt that the Spurs will become a team with strength, stability and maturity this season.The Spurs will be the No. [-] favorites to win this year's championship after the defending champion Miami Heat.

In addition to the Spurs in the West, there are other playoff teams such as the Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, and Clippers.Minor repairs have also been made among them, but their main lineup has not changed much.They are still reinforcing around the previous core.

Consistent with the team building policy of other teams, the Hornets are also rebuilding around the core players the team got in the draft-Jack and Paul!
The operation of the Hornets' management this summer is undoubtedly the most beautiful in the entire league.The Hornets not only recruited their pitcher from the Timberwolves - Peja Stockovic, but also, just sent a small bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to find the "Champion" Tyson Chandler from the Bulls.The most important thing is that they are ahead of the 29 teams in the league and won Jack first in the battle to snatch Jack.

The Hornets not only retained the core of the previous season, but also carried out targeted reinforcements around the team's weaknesses this season.

In the last season, the Hornets faced the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in one battle, and they still fought until the seventh game.So why this season, how far can the Hornets go?
Guard: Chris Paul has become the brain of the team since he was selected into the team. He has become the main starting point guard of the Hornets just in the third game of the league. All of his tactical ideas are implemented in the game.Last season, Paul averaged 15 assists and 5 assists per game, and became a candidate for the best rookie after Jack!This point of Paul will also become a highlight among the Hornets.

With the departure of jr Smith, Russell Butler will soon be kicked out of the small forward position and become the chief shooting guard.Russell Butler is a swingman at the front and guard, and I believe it will not be difficult for him to be qualified for this position.Russell Butler and jr Smith have similar characteristics, and they also have the ability to make three-pointers.This change of the Hornets will not have any impact on the Hornets' play.

Compared with JR Smith, Butler is superior in that Butler's physical fitness is better than JR Smith, and the breakthrough effect is also better. Butler can still play when the Hornets can't attack. To the role of siege.

In the forward position, Russell Butler's promotion of the small forward position did not have much impact on the Hornets.Instead, they introduced Peja Skovich, an All-Star small forward for the Timberwolves, and added a stable shooting point to the Hornets.

Peja Skotkovic is a rare shooter in the league. His arrival will add a stable shooting point to the Hornets and make enough space for the Hornets' interior.

Power forward: This position is Jack. Jack has rapidly grown into the ace player in the team since the tiebreaker last season.In Jack's rookie season, Jack averaged 19 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 3.9 blocks, and 2.7 steals per game, and his rebounds in the playoffs soared to 0.4.Even though, in the tiebreaker with the Spurs last season, Jack was fouled at the last moment of the game, causing the Hornets to lose to the Spurs at the last moment.The legendary black eight miracle was not able to be staged.However, the young Hornets in the last game made people see general hope.From the perspective of Jack's style of play, Jack's position in the team can become more flexible.This can add more mobility to the Hornets' tactical arrangement!
The reinforcement at the center position is undoubtedly the most successful masterpiece of the Hornets this season.The arrival of the best defensive player Tyson Chandler will undoubtedly strengthen the Hornets' defense inside.At the same time, Tyson Chandler also has the ability to play post-up singles in the low post.He can also serve as a stable scoring point for the Hornets in the new season.

And the most important thing is that the Hornets have enough bench depth this season.This season, the Hornets successfully retained their best sixth man of last season-David West.The stay of David West makes the Hornets' bench strength guaranteed.

This is what a Hornets team is like, even after losing players like jr Smith and Mason in the new season.However, their reinforcements have been significantly reinforced at positions 2, 3,5, and [-], a lineup like the Hornets.Even if you look at the entire alliance, it is a force that cannot be ignored.

However, such a strong team is still not recognized by experts.According to espn's column prediction: The Hornets' record in this game is only 45 wins and 37 losses.
