Chapter 364 Bench Press 400 lbs
In September, as several big fishes in the free market were caught by strong teams, the NBA summer free market has reached its final stage. At this time, most of the "big fish" were caught. If there is still some left, it must be a big fat fish waiting to be sold.
However, this has nothing to do with the Clippers. Their lineup is basically certain. At most, a few water dispensers and guardians will be signed to guard their water dispensers. Even if they have the work, the team can start targeted training for the running-in of the new season.
The following are the specific ratings of the top five teams on the NBA official website’s combat power list:
Los Angeles Lakers - Player Potential: b; Management: a+; Salary Space: d; Market Attraction: a+; Draft Choice: d; Total Review: a+
Los Angeles Clippers - Player Potential: a+; Management: b+; Salary Space: a+; Market Attraction: a; Draft Choice: c; Overall Rating: a+

Cleveland Cavaliers - Player Potential: b+; Management: b-; Payroll Space: c; Market Attraction: d+; Draft Choice: d; Overall Rating: a-
In October, the Clippers played five preseason games, with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. There is nothing to see from this record. The three Clippers' core players, including Crawford, who was transferred, did not play. The Clippers' lineup is a rookie and a role player.
Dragic and Avraro's backcourt partner was surprisingly impressive in the preseason. The former can contribute 11 points and 5 assists per game in 30 minutes of playing time, while the latter can contribute 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
Garcia is not much different from last season. Uncle Garcia, you give him 3 million. He can do 3 million work... If you give him 5 million, he can only do 3 million work.
Another striker, Matt Barnes, is about the same as Garcia. The two have already exhausted their potential. They both have an annual salary of about three to four million. They can contribute 7 or eight points in a game, and at the same time, they will not let their opponents explode. This is their job.
Clippers fans have a good impression of Garcia and Barnes. These two players are very enthusiastic on the court, willing to defend on the defensive end, and dare to shoot open shots on the offensive end. Both of them are qualified main players.
Dunleavy plans to use Garcia, who has stronger three-point ability, as the starting lineup in the new season, and Barnes plays as a substitute, but the two will not be much different in playing time. The Clippers' third position play time is basically divided equally by these two people.
Bill Walker, a glass man, injured his knee again during training. Old Dunleavy decided to use him to cut it in one season. Bill Walker only had one year to guarantee the contract. It seemed that they had not picked up the treasure, and this was a sick person. Unless no one was available, Old Dunleavy would not use him.
As for Jordan Jr., Clippers fans think it's better not to mention it. He won't be sent off in the preseason game even if he can't play in half. And Dunleavy doesn't dare to let him play for so long. Jordan Jr.'s defensive skills are too rough. Apart from being in good health and actively snatching rebounds, he is basically useless.
However, Jordan himself is full of confidence. His idol is Brother Panda. This guy is simply a crazy fan. He is so angry that he is killed by Ji Guoqiu on the training ground every day. He is still happy afterwards. He always says that the team he wants to come to most before the draft is the Clippers, hoping to learn something from Brother Panda.
Jordan Jr. actually made progress. Comparing him with his two brothers would be too harsh. Especially this guy is abused by Ji Guoqiu every day. It is difficult for him to make no progress on the defensive end over time. Perhaps half a season later, Jordan Jr. can become a qualified substitute.
In general, the one who satisfies the three rookies selected this year is Dragic, who has high professional qualities, good skills, and strong combat power. In addition to being a substitute for Billups, it is more than enough to be a substitute for Billups.
At the second position of the Clippers, the most surprising thing about Dunleavy was Avraro. This young second-year rookie seemed to have good potential. He trained hard, made accurate shooting, and had high ball quotient. Although his athletic ability was average, his defense was not bad and his offense was good. He could train him well.
Dunleavy, the old Dunleavy, originally wanted Crawford to play the main player, and the recall of Avraro, wanted him to become a substitute in the second position, but now when he saw Avraro's condition, Dunleavy decided to let Crawford continue to play the sixth man, and Avraro fought against fake starters.
October is low, just as the regular season is about to begin, in the last period of the NBA combat power list, the Clippers surpassed the Lakers to rank first.
As the regular season approaches, the media takes a higher look at the Clippers' strength, and the odds of defending titles given to the Clippers by major bookmakers are gradually decreasing. This is because the Lakers only achieved a 1 win and 4 loss in the preseason. For their lineup, the winning rate is too low.
After the preseason, the teams began to actively prepare for the regular season. As the defending champions, the Los Angeles Clippers ranked first in the battle power list, which is the biggest favorite to win this season. The media generally believed that they lost watermelons and picked up watermelons. If Crawford was not in a bad mood, the Clippers' combat power would be improved compared to last season. In addition, Garcia and Barnes filled the gap after Artest left, and the Clippers' odds were 1 or 2.
The Lakers are also one of the biggest favorites to win the championship, but they won 1 win and 4 losses in the preseason, which makes their odds not as high as they were at the beginning. Now they also lose 2 losses with the Clippers.
Although some of the preseason missed, the Lakers' books are so good. In last year's West Division final, the Lakers almost sent the Clippers back to their hometown in advance. The luxury of this team this season is difficult to match by other teams in the league.
The Celtics ranked third with an odds of 1 and 4. Although the Celtics are limited in salary space and don’t get much in the summer, as long as the Big Three stays healthy, they are strong contenders for the championship.
In addition to these three most favored teams, the fifth place is the Spurs (1 compensation of 5) and the Cavaliers (1 compensation of 6). Judging from the odds indexes offered by major bookmakers, these five teams are the teams that are most likely to reach the championship. And when it comes to the Magic, the championship odds turned out to be 1 compensation of 15. The poor performance at the Warcraft Olympics lowered the odds of Orlando's winning the championship. However, His Majesty Superman was not suitable for the Olympics. This year, His Majesty Superman is said to have gained weight again and strengthened the lower limbs. Many people are waiting to see how Happy Beast continues to be beaten by Yao Ming in the new season.
Clippers: 1 loses 2
Lakers: 1 loses 2
Celtics: 1 compensation 4
Spurs: 1 pays 5
Knight: 1 compensation 6
Magic: 15 compensation
Hornets: 1 compensation of 20
The reason why the Clippers are favored is that many people think that the two brothers' outstanding performance at the Olympics is due to their outstanding performance at the Olympics. Their performance in the Olympics is indeed a bit terrible. In addition, the old monster Billups and Crawford's nerve knife, before the regular season starts, the number of live broadcasts across the United States has exceeded that of the luxurious Lakers, becoming the team that fans are most concerned about in the new season.
Their first game was scheduled for October 30, against the Los Angeles Lakers, who are second in the combat power list.
This game is of course live broadcast across the United States. Everyone wants to see how intense the luxurious Purple and Gold Legion will face the defending champion? This is destined to be a hot game where Mars hits the Earth.
The Clippers' season ticket price for the new season was 40% raised before the start of the regular season. Now they are in the same price as the Lakers, and Sterling's moves are fast enough in this regard.
However, even if the tickets are expensive, the Clippers' season tickets for the new season are still sold out early. The group of unlucky guys who didn't win the Best Actor last season have become fans of the Clippers this season. In this year's Clippers' game, the stars in the front seats are no longer as dim as before.
This is the rise of the foundation. Sterling now wants to call the twin brothers dad. I am afraid that even if the two brothers call Sterling Lao Bi now, the latter dares to agree!

The day before the first game of the new season, the two brothers and teammates conducted weighing and physical tests after training. Before the start of the season, the head coach must have some understanding of the players' physical condition. Although the actual results measured may not be reported to the NBA official website, it cannot be too outrageous.
As the boss of the team, Ji Guoqiu was the first to weigh and measure his height and nose depth. The final result was 211cm tall, 228cm wingspan, and 240 pounds; Ji Guoqiu was 211cm tall, 228cm wingspan, and 235 pounds.
"Damn, I've also gained five pounds." Ji Guomeng didn't gain much weight in the gym, but actually gained five pounds.
"You are all fat, it's true to see how much your strength has increased," Ji Guoqiu despised the dead fox very much. He did not train seriously, and sooner or later followed McGrady.
Ji Guochou wanted to see how much his strength increased, so he tried the bench press, and the final result was 240 pounds of bench press. It is not impossible to add it up, but it is easy to get injured.
Ji Guomeng then tried it, but the result was not to be seen. Of course, the little fox's ability was very tricky. In the end, he barely pushed 220 pounds and was still tired.
"Damn it, what's the use of pushing 200 kilograms!" The little fox felt that his results were really embarrassing, but he was right. The NBA data like bench press is not recorded at all, and it is indeed useless for the competition.
Basketball basically does not use the bench press force movement. Except for the Auburn Palace Palace pushing Atai back then, it can be seen that Daben is indeed powerful. But at other times, the force in basketball games depends on the shoulder and triceps. In fact, the strength of a player mainly depends on his legs, so Yao Ming can withstand all opponents. Howard always shows his upper body muscles, but there are always tragedies in the game.
Those bench presses and biceps curls that you like to practice most in the gym are not very helpful for playing basketball, but instead affect your flexibility and shooting feel. Of course, Malone is exceptional.
Old Dunleavy smiled and said to his assistant: "Tomorrow, write 400 pounds of bench press for Brother Panda on our website and 350 pounds of bench press for Brother Fox." As soon as Old Dunleavy finished speaking, Jordan, who was eager to try, almost failed and was overwhelmed by the barbell.
When the Clippers players heard the shameless orders of Dunleavy, their faces looked very good. The coach was so swearing. 240 pounds were said to be 400 pounds. This is almost as good as the big book. Howard was sure to cry in the bathroom when he saw it!
After measuring height and weight and useless bench presses, the Clippers players began to test the bounce, bounce speed and sprint speed. These are very useful things. The Clippers actually mainly test these data for the two brothers. The data of the two last season were very abnormal. At the same time, Dunlivi also wanted to see how Jordan's body side data compares with the two brothers?
The Clippers players were also very interested. After joining the Clippers, Jordan Jordan showed his bounce in front of his teammates whenever he had the chance. Later, this guy angered the even more sexy brother of the fox. A 360-degree turn around and dunked under his crotch made Jordan Jordan never dared to mention participating in the dunk contest. Although his bounce was stronger than both brothers, his athletic ability was more than just bounce.
As soon as the body side result came out, the Clippers players looked at the result and sighed that their team's inside athletic ability was probably the strongest in the league.
Ji Guochou is 211cm tall, wingspan is 228cm, and weighs 240 pounds; he bounces on the spot 82cm, and runs up to 90cm; he runs back for 11.40 seconds, and sprints in 3/4 for 3.25 seconds.
Ji Guomeng is 211cm tall, wingspan is 228cm, and weighs 235 pounds; he bounces on the spot 78cm, and runs up to 90cm; he runs back for 11.22 seconds in the bottom line, and sprints in 3/4 for 3.18 seconds.
Jordan Jr. is 209cm tall, wingspan is 220cm, and weighs 245 pounds; he bounces on the spot 85cm, and runs up to 95cm; he runs back for 12.35 seconds in the bottom line, and sprints in 3/4 for 3.39 seconds.
Old Dunleavy looked at the physical test data. The result was not beyond his expectations. The two brothers' bounces were much stronger than when they first entered the league, and the back-run and sprints were also faster. This was the result after training. Jordan Jordan bounced better than the two, but his wingspan was not as good as the two brothers, and his speed was much slower, especially the back-running of the whole game, which meant that he could not beat the two brothers on the field and quickly.
However, Jordan Jr. has just entered the league. After one or two seasons of training, I think some data will be better than it is now.
But then again, it’s useless to be physically in NBA. Just look at Jordan’s template. You can tell that the best template given to him by the outside media is Tyson Chandler, which of course can be found. But the worst template is Stromayer Swift, which is a pity.
Old Dunleavy knew that Jordan Jr. fell from the lottery zone to the second round and was considered to be very similar to Big S. Although the latter had an outrageous IQ in basketball and was injured by Xiaozhu, he had at least a good attitude and obeyed the coach very much. In the end, he still couldn't play, so no one dared to ask Jordan Jordan, whose comprehensive physical fitness was not as good as Big S.
