Chapter 549 Xiao Hua Changed? (First Update!)

After redeeming the turtle bombing, Tang Tian went to the training hall to experience it first.

The biggest change still comes from the addition of direction change and sprint speed. His body is close to 100 kg, and his flexibility is obviously better than before.

This is the change brought about by the agility attribute bonus.

It is foreseeable that his success rate in the new season will be greatly improved.

As for the bonus of aerial confrontation and dunk, we can only wait until the game to find out.

The time has come to the end of September in a blink of an eye, and the preseason of the new season will start in early October.

At this time, the training camps of each team started one after another.

ESPN's Charlie Ford also made a wave of forward predictions for the new season as in previous years.

Because of the changes in the strength of many teams during the offseason, this prospect has also attracted much attention.

In this list, the Cavaliers beat the Spurs to top the list.

ESPN is very optimistic about James' team every year. The Heat won the championship last year, and their tendency is also on paper.

"They may experience some pains of running-in, but the lineup of the Big Three is full of competitiveness. LeBron has just led the Heat to win the championship. His personal state is at its peak, and it cannot be ignored. They also have Dion Waiters, Tristan Thompson and other outstanding young players, they will be another Heat team in the East, and they will be younger."

Ranked second is the Spurs.

"The failure of the dynasty last season caused this team to fall from the altar. They will be a little confused at the end of the season, and some will miss Tang Tian, ​​but the signing of Gasol makes all this seem less important. They The new season is still the most popular team to win the championship. The reason why they are placed after the Cavaliers is because the GDP is one year older, especially Duncan. Last season was his worst season. He will be 38 years old in the new season His performance is worrying."

The Clippers are third.

The Rockets followed suit in fourth place.

"They got Bosh, that's important, now they have a core of Harden, Parsons and Bosh, plus Asik and Beverley, they will be one of the most improved teams in the West this season. One, they will be the biggest spoilers in the Western Conference playoffs, and the only worry is whether Harden can continue to get rid of Khloe Kardashian's defense."

The Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, and Bulls ranked 6th and 7th respectively.

The Thunder are eighth.

"They kept the lineup from last season, but the biggest bad news is that Kevin Durant underwent surgery in the offseason, and according to previous reports, he will miss the first two months of the season because of a right foot injury. In the regular season, we cannot know how the Thunder will perform without Durant, but it is foreseeable that the performance will be much worse than last season."

The Pelicans are ninth.

"They signed Ariza in the free market, and basically kept the core lineup, but they sent away Anderson, who was on the bench. This is seen as a reduction in salary and preparations for Tang Tian's big contract next year. move, but it will make them less competitive, and combined, their performance will be comparable to last season."

The Raptors ranked tenth.

The Warriors are 11th.

"Their lineup has not changed compared to last season. The biggest change comes from the coaching staff. They fired Mark Jackson and his entire coaching staff and hired Cole, who was still a rookie. It is worth noting that Curry played in Jackson. After expressing dissatisfaction after leaving, the Warriors will experience turmoil, and their performance may be worse than last season."

The Knicks are twelfth.

"They kept Anthony, traded for Howard, and their lineup looks very good on paper, but please note that Anthony and the big man's partner did not perform well. Stoudemire was an example before. The Knicks Needs a top-tier point guard, not a big man, but it's foreseeable that they'll have a decent playoff spot in the weak Eastern Conference with their talent."

...

The Pacers ranked 20th.

"They lost Paul George in the summer, who suffered a horrific 90-degree broken leg. We don't know when he will return, or how he can play when he returns, but the Pacers have basically fallen out. playoff team."

...

This season preview has attracted a lot of heated discussions and discussions among fans.

Even league commissioner Adam Silver was asked about the list.

"They've been pretty accurate in their predictions for the last two years, and they've been professional in that regard, but I think the Pelicans should be ranked a bit higher. They were amazing in the playoffs last season. They took the offseason. period has also been strengthened.”

Xiao Hua's comment stunned the fans who were already talking about it.

Xiao Hua has... suddenly changed his face?

You must know that the whistle in the playoffs last season was very aimed at the Pelicans!

After this offseason, did he turn his head to support the Pelicans?

Many fans have question mark faces, obviously they don't know what the reason for this change is.

Stern was very relieved after seeing the news, Xiao Hua finally came around the corner.

Look at Nike, look at BMW, if you can't get around that corner, you are really a stubborn bull.

Tang Tian was a little surprised when he saw the news, but it was obviously good news.

The strength of the Pelicans has increased a lot this season. If the referee can judge fairly, they will definitely go further in the playoffs.

ESPN's list forecast is a warm-up for the new season, and the preseason of the new season is also imminent.

At this time, good news came from the league again. They reached a 9-year TV broadcast agreement with ESPN and TNT worth 24 billion U.S. dollars!

The new contract will take effect from the 2016-2017 season, and the average broadcast price per season is almost three times that of the current contract!

This is a very exaggerated figure.

For example, James, who has played in the league for more than 10 years, his current maximum starting salary is 20 million US dollars, but if the new broadcast contract takes effect, this starting salary will skyrocket to 33 million US dollars!

This is a very scary increase, and James and Chris Paul, who is the chairman of the union, are still trying to increase this limit.

After this news broke out, it can be predicted that the free agent market in 2016 will usher in a wave of explosive signings, and after that, the salaries that players can get from the league will also have a blowout growth compared with the past.

Xiao Hua finalized such a big contract in the second year of his tenure, which greatly stabilized his position as president.

The expected salary increase will make the players union support him;

The signing of this broadcast contract has greatly increased the income of many teams, and he has also received strong support from the team owner;

Coupled with his previous change of tone towards the Pelicans, the media and fans have changed a lot about him.

For the first time in the Silver era, the league seemed to be thriving.

Thank you for your reward in middle age 2020.
