Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 135 136 [EDPN list]

Texas top three, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks (formerly Dallas Mavericks), San Antonio Spurs!

This is one of the most feared areas in the entire NBA.

The Mavericks (Lone Ranger) are weak, the Rockets are strong, and the San Antonio Spurs are old.

These are the three major illusions that have always surrounded the league. Over the years, countless teams have suffered from this illusion.

But it is undeniable that from the perspective of last season, these three illusions have finally become a reality.

The first is the Dallas Mavericks. They only achieved a record of 32 wins and 50 losses in the regular season. In the West of Purgatory, to be honest, this record can only be ranked last.

Then there is the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets in the regular season are in full swing, ranking first in the league. Whether they are against the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, or even the final championship San Antonio Spurs, they have never suffered. Opponents have repeatedly been deflated.

Therefore, the Houston Rockets in the regular season are really strong.

It is undeniable that the San Antonio Spurs won the O'Brien Cup in the end, and young players like Jiang Hao and Dejounte Murray also rose up. old.

Moreover, it is a well-recognized fact today that if Jiang Hao hadn't turned out, the Spurs wouldn't even have won the championship last season, and they wouldn't even be able to make it to the playoffs.

So, regardless of whether these three illusions are true or not, one thing is certain, that is, the situation of these three teams in the new season has undergone earth-shaking changes following Jiang Hao's decision.

Especially the Dallas Mavericks, which directly turned an old hen into a duck, from a belly to a strong team, Mark Cuban tells you, this is just a matter of thought.

In the sports world, ESPN is the biggest folly. After Jiang Hao made the decision to officially join the Dallas Mavericks, the Mavericks became the fourth existence in the new season's championship rankings.

Of course, even so, many Jiang Hao and even Lone Ranger fans feel that ESPN is inferior to others.

Xin Ke fmvp so no face?
The Lone Ranger only ranks fourth?
ESPN then gave an explanation. The bayonet is very strong, but he only played one season in this league, and he was under Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs. That is to say, although he won the Finals Most Valuable Player , but it is undeniable that he has not proved his ability to lead the team from the beginning to the end.

You know, after the start of the new season, the challenges Jiang Hao faces are far from being comparable to those he had in the Spurs.

To give a simple example, when all the head coaches and players in the league no longer regard you as a simple rookie, but as the leader of the Lone Ranger, then when they are playing against the Lone Ranger, they will crazily target you , studying you crazily.

So, in this situation, can Jiang Hao still maintain his strength?These have yet to be verified.

Some fans mentioned Dirk Nowitzki and DeAndre Jordan.

However, the response given by ESPN is that Nuo Tianwang, who is about to turn 40 years old, is no longer the super insider who can play alone. The new season will be the last season of the German, and his role positioning is also very clear, that is, spirit Leader, don't expect him to stand up and save the team again on the court, that's unrealistic.

As for DeAndre Jordan, from entering the league until now, he has always been a very tough defender, a rebounder, but he has never been a leader.

A 21-year-old rookie who still needs to prove himself, a 40-year-old veteran, an inside defensive player who has never been a leader, and at most one third pick in this year's draft.

To be honest, when espn made an explanation, people also had to nod their heads. It is indeed the best of humanity to be able to rank the Lone Ranger fourth.

After all, looking at the three teams ranked in the Lone Ranger Junior, they are the real strength.

At the top of the list is the Houston Rockets, although the Houston Rockets were eliminated by the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs last season.

But their hard power is not bad, and they have never disappointed in the regular season. Now that the former scoring champion Carmelo Anthony joins, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful, and it will go to the next level.Definitely deserves the top spot.

The second place is the Golden State Warriors. Although they were swept by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals last season and just lost Kevin Durant, don't forget that they still have 3 All-Star players, plus With the addition of All-Star insider Cousins, in fact, the hard power of the Golden State Warriors is still strong in the new season and has not declined much.

ESPN gave the third place to the Philadelphia 76ers. This is basically not controversial, because both Embiid and Ben Simmons are geniuses. They are bound to usher in an explosion in the new season. It needs to be pointed out Yes, they also have Jimmy Butler, a very tough All-Star.

Judging from the overall weak situation in the Eastern Conference alone, as long as the Philadelphia 76ers do not have major problems, they will be the leader of the Eastern Conference.

Of course, the list given by ESPN is only for the current transfer market that has just opened for a week.

We all know that the transfer market will continue to open for a long time, and during this period, all teams in the league will continue to strengthen.

In addition, there are still some outstanding players in the transfer market, such as Kawhi Leonard.

As of now, Kawhi Leonard has not made a decision, and as a superstar, no matter where he ends up going, it will have a new impact on the league situation.

For example, people have been rumoring in the past two days that the Los Angeles Lakers are going all out to contact Kawhi Leonard's team.

Imagine that if Leonard finally joins the Huren, then the strength of the Lakers is bound to usher in a huge improvement.

In this case, can you say that the Lakers with Leonard + LeBron James will be worse than the Dallas Mavericks?
For the Lone Rangers who just won Jiang Hao and Jr. Jordan, they now have a salary space of 1000 US dollars, and the head coach Carlisle also publicly stated to the media that their relationship is not over yet, and they will still target the current situation. There are lineups for upgrades.

In the transfer market, there are still some excellent role players who are actually very cost-effective. As long as the Lone Ranger makes a move, there is basically no problem.

For Jiang Hao, he is already exercising the right of the team leader, because just yesterday, the head coach Carlisle had communicated with him, hoping that Jiang Hao would express his opinion on the team's reinforcement.
