From today on is the king

Chapter 1001 1000. The start of the new season, the preseason game against the Grizzlies (ask for a monthly pass)

The old generation of stars who entered the league in the 90s are gradually getting old, and the new era of stars has begun to enter the room.

The stars in the early and mid-90s, except for Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Iverson, Nash, Tracy McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal and others were still at their peak, O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace, Kidd, Webber and others have all declined significantly. Kidd is okay, making up for his lack of shooting and continuing his state, while Anfernee Hardaway, Mourning, Damon Stoudemire and others have already faded out of the ranks of the league's first-line stars .

The stars of the late 90s and the new century gradually reached their peak. Carter, Nowitzki, Francis, Brand, Artest and other stars in the late 90s began to shine. The stars who entered the NBA in the new century became the mainstay of the league under the leadership of Liu Mang, a leading figure.

Before the start of the preseason game between the Eagles and the Grizzlies, there have been three preseason games. Chris Bosh of the Pistons scored 41 points in the first preseason game.

As long as you don't meet the Eagles, the Pistons are worthy of anyone.

Francis' Sonics continued to maintain the performance of last season. Francis got a triple-double in the first preseason game, with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists.

Ron Artest, who hadn’t played for almost a season, didn’t show any significant decline. In the Pacers’ first preseason game, he scored 26 points and 9 rebounds, defending the Clippers’ powerful small forward Corey Maggette to only 4 points. Maggette played 23 minutes and made 8 of 1 shots. Artest’s defense was still so strong.

It's just that before Artest finished the game, he quarreled with the team's general manager Larry Bird on the sidelines.

The Pacers did not explain the specific reason, which gave the outside world a lot of speculation.

The Pacers tried to trade Artest in the summer, but no team made a move, and they all wanted to see how Artest played in the new season.

Young players have all reached a blowout period where their strength has improved significantly, and the same is true for Liu Mang's first opponent in the new season.

"Paul Gasol, ability evaluation 89, offense 89, defense 84, three-pointer 60, mid-range shooting 85, layup 92, passing 83, speed 80, strength 86..."

A very comprehensive core power forward, he can be the tactical core of a championship team. He can shoot, play low singles, and pass the ball.

However, the lack of offensive ability is Gasol's shortcoming, that is, he can only become a core second-in-command.

The core style of play is only second-in-command. It is very difficult to become a member of the championship team.

Liu Mang looked at Gasol in front of him, feeling a little bit about Gasol's future.

Originally, in the original time and space, Gasol only needed to survive until 07 to join forces with Kobe, not to mention the championship, and the best team that had no chance with Gasol in the past few years also relied on their record.

"Ace, this is Caron. He entered the NBA a year later than us. You should know him." Gasol introduced his new teammate Caron Butler to Liu Mang.

"Caron and I are old friends." Liu Mang went up and hugged Butler.

Butler was very happy now, and hugged Liu Mang.

"Caron Butler, ability rating 84, offense 88, defense 65..."

Liu Mang looked at Butler's ability evaluation, the defense is really... Nash and Jason Terry are serious on the defensive end, but Butler has no defense at all.

Butler and Liu Mang are not in the same position, so there is no grievance, they are friends of gentlemen.

Butler has finally arrived at a team that allows him to be the core outsider, and he is ready to forget the ups and downs of the past and play well.

The Rockets chose to trade because Caron Butler and Richard Jefferson overlapped.

The Rockets have a clear goal. Since the center is still young, they will start from the front line. Battier and Richard Jefferson form a forward-back defense combination, which is quite strong. Even if Butler is willing to play shooting guard, the Rockets don’t want Caron Butler who has almost no defense. Taking Butler from the Lakers is purely for more points in return. No, they traded Battier.

Moreover, not only defense, but scoring alone, Caron Butler is not as strong as Richard Jefferson. Richard Jefferson is a perennial 20+ first-line scorer anyway.

In addition to the point guard combination of Chucky Atkins and Sura, the center has Bynum who needs to be cultivated. Except for the power forward who is really miserable, the Rockets have maintained a certain combat effectiveness, which is used to maintain the popularity of Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's words of thanks, as well as the empty promise that he would like to return to the Rockets in the future, convinced many Chinese fans who have always liked nostalgia.

After the Grizzlies acquired Eddie Jones in the summer, they also lost patience with Battier. They selected Battier with the No. 6 pick in the past to form a dual-core team with Gasol. As a result, Battier did not have the mentality and strength to become the core at all. He could only play as a substitute since the second grade.

In order to make room to sign Antawn Walker, the Heat almost gave Eddie Jones to the Grizzlies in a sign-and-trade for Jason Williams.

Now the Grizzlies have formed a starting combination of Damon Stoudemire, Eddie Jones, Butler, Gasol, and Lorenzen White. At first glance, it really looks like that.

After Liu Mang greeted Gasol and Butler, he returned to his bench and waited for the start of the first preseason game of the new season.

The Eagles have six opponents in their seven preseason games this year. It is lucky or unfortunate that the Eagles still have no chance to participate in this season's China game.

Originally, the Rockets and the Lakers played the China game last year, and this year it should be the Eagles' turn. However, the drug-addicted combination was born. Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi joined hands, and the league once again arranged for them to play in the preseason game. As for the Eagles and the Lakers.

The starting lineup sent by the Eagles today is Liu Mang, Iguodala, Korver, Josh Smith, Kwame Brown.

Jason Terry, Tracy McGrady, Rasheed Wallace, and Prince all served as substitutes in this game and may play for a while, but these experienced veterans don't need to play for too long in the preseason.

Before the start of the game, Liu Mang took a look at his system space. Counting the training in August and early September, plus the training camp, more than two months of training time, there were only 39 physical potions that he had replenished before, and 101 primary injury potions.

30 superstar points, more than 5679 million rogue points... What a beautiful number, if you get to 100 million, you can draw another high-level lottery. You can have star cards and so on now, but you won’t deliberately draw them without Liu Mang. Only by drawing high-level superstar points can you improve yourself even more.

However, the standing medicine is the most important thing. Physical fitness and injuries, the second defending year, cannot be delayed by these. Liu Mang can only bear the pain and continue to replenish the standing medicine.

"Boss of the system, use 300 superstar value draws."

"Ding... the host uses 300 primary superstar points to draw a lottery, consuming 30000 superstar points..."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 342 physical potions, 193 primary injury potions, and 212 skill upgrade cards."

There are 381 physical potions, 294 primary injury potions, and 233 skill upgrade cards. The stock potions are replenished. Liu Mang turns off the system panel, walks to the technical stage, and prepares to start the first game of the new season.

Although it was a preseason game, Liu Mang was also very excited, it was his first game after becoming a superstar!
And Liu Mang wanted to see the progress of these young teammates!

……

As Liu Mang sprinkled chalk into the air, igniting the enthusiasm of the long-awaited fans, the Eagles' first preseason game was about to begin.

Although it was only a preseason game, the tickets for the Hawks home game were sold out!
Two consecutive championships, Eagles fans want to see the fourth dynasty in NBA history appear, breaking the monopoly of the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls!
Liu Mang brought Iguodala, Korver, Josh Smith and Kwame Brown on the court.

On the Grizzlies side, it can almost be said that it is a brand new lineup that needs to be re-run, so the main players come out. The lineup of Damon Stoudemire, Kobe-like Eddie Jones, Caron Butler, sister-in-law Gasol, and Lorenzen White, the No. 96 pick of the 7 Golden Generation, came on the field.

The best power forwards and centers of the 01 generation walked to the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

Gasol and Kwame Brown stood in the middle circle, and there was no conflict between them. Gasol's gentle personality made him one of the few inside players in the 01 class who didn't mock Kwame Brown before Kwame Brown made his fortune. Gasol used to just ignore Kwame Brown.Now the status of the two alliances is almost the same, and the relationship is not bad, not as bad as the relationship between Chandler, Eddie Curry, Haywood and Kwame Brown.

The referee came to the middle circle, blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air.

Although Kwame Brown's weight has increased to 122 kilograms, it has not affected his speed and jumping. His physical talent is so good that he still maintains the explosive speed and wins the jump ball from Gasol's head.

After Liu Mang received the serve, he didn't rush, and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt, ready to play a single on the ground.

Little Flying Mouse Stoudemire came up to defend Liu Mang, trying to steal Liu Mang by relying on his short stature and good flexibility. Liu Mang moved to the front and turned his body sideways. He easily separated Damon Stoudemire with his right arm and dribbled with his left hand. Damon Stoudemire had no chance of stealing the ball. A player who can dribble with his left hand has a very low probability of being directly intercepted, which does not match the opponent's stealing habits.

Seeing that his teammates were in good positions, Liu Mang rushed directly to the left!

Damon Stoudemire can't stop it!Was directly run over by Liu Mang!
The feeling of crushing the opponent to break through is great!

Liu Mang knocked Damon Stoudemire away and rushed to the inside, and rushed directly towards Lorenzen White under the basket, preparing to start ruthlessly and show off his physical fitness.

At this moment, Liu Mang saw someone cut in from the right side of the basket, and Kwame Brown under the basket had exited the baseline. Liu Mang immediately threw the ball into the air, and a guy wearing the No. 6 jersey flew into the air. When Lorenzen White was ready to defend Liu Mang's basket, the No. 6 player smashed the ball into the basket through Lorenzen White!
Josh Smith's opening lob!

The fans at the scene originally thought that Liu Mang was about to rush in to dunk, and they were worried that Lorenzen White would block Liu Mang from seeing that scene, but they did not expect that Josh Smith and Liu Mang completed the alley-oop connection, and the cheers on the scene burst.

Liu Mang subconsciously passed the ball with this anti-running consciousness. The key point is, how did Josh Smith get rid of Gasol?Although Gasol is not considered a defensive gate, and his defense is weak, mainly because his movements are too clean, his defense is definitely not bad, and his defensive efficiency ranks among the top power forwards.

Looking back, Iguodala is blocking Gasol!
These two sophomores actually used reverse thinking!

The opponent will definitely guard against Josh Smith's pick and roll for Iguodala, but Iguodala didn't expect to run back for Josh Smith's pick and roll!
　Chapter 1000, ask for a monthly pass!The next chapter will be about 10 minutes around seven o'clock... It may not be necessarily in case it is earlier.
