937 No regrets
A good start is always a pleasant one, not to mention that the Warriors win the most popular Heat in the summer.
This summer, even if the Chinese team defeated the Dream Team and won the World Championship gold medal, the impact caused was not as good as the Heat, especially when the preseason started, even if the Heat did not have Wade present, they still blocked the gods and Buddhas, and they looked arrogant and arrogant to sweep the NH to win 82 consecutive games.
As a result, the regular season started and the Warriors gave them a blow--a big win of 2 points
For Miami's sports media and the Heat fans who have longed for a summer, it's like a bolt from the blue.
As the regular season starts, the players' pace begins to get faster. Just as the Heat were defeated at home, the Warriors are about to fly to Orlando to prepare to fight against the Magic.
On the plane, the players had nothing to do, so they took a bunch of newspapers to read the league dynamics, knowing themselves and their enemies, winning every battle. This tactic advocated by the military master Sun Wu is also applicable to NH
There are naturally the most reports about the Warriors and the Heat. Carter read the magazine for a while and said to George next to him: "Rookie, you're also on the headlines, haha, the answer you answered about who is the No. 1 in the league is really good."
"This kid has a high IQ, very good. I'm optimistic about you, boy, don't let Mad Dog down." West turned around and hammered George.
George grinned and said, "There is no count of LeBron, and only the idiot press conference in Miami thinks E∫ is the best in the world. Even if E Kobe doesn't run for the election, it's not his turn."
James's grouping with Wade and Bosh has the greatest impact on the Warriors, because the Warriors win this season, which is to create a dynasty. This season is the most important season in history for the Warriors.
Whether a dynasty can be created depends on the current dynasty
The Heat's Big Three teams have opened a bad mode, and there will definitely be popular stars who will learn from them to join them in the future, which will naturally increase the difficulty for the Warriors to win the championship.
After hearing George's words, Old Nelson looked at George and said, "Boy, then tell me, except for E Kobe, who can suppress LeBron? Kevin Durant? Tim Duncan? Anthony Wade? Paul?"
George actually just belittled James casually. After all, the latter was the popular MP in the league last season. Without that strength, the league can't even support it.
Fortunately, George reacted quickly. He glanced at the newspaper and laughed: "If there was no E Kobe, then the boss of the league would be the referee."
After receiving this answer, the group of people immediately laughed. Jamison pointed at George and smiled: "Rookie, you are so smart."
Hill sighed: "How much Stern wants the referee to be the boss, but there has been a new zero-tolerance system."
Previously, the NHA introduced the so-called zero tolerance system. If the player or head coach complains about the referee during the game, the referee can give them technical fouls.
After the start of the new season, the NHA officially claimed that a new zero tolerance system was introduced for the purpose of requiring players to "respect the game".
This time the system is even more abnormal, and players are strictly prohibited from complaining about the referee's penalty, and even the players are not allowed to make dissatisfied expressions and actions. Violators will be called for technical fouls.
"Stern is also trying to make the league better, right?" Nelson said with a smile. "NHA is a high-quality game. Players should act like gentlemen on the court, and they should fully reflect their respect for the league. You see, respecting the referee's penalty is the best way to express respect."
Although Nelson Jr. agreed with the zero tolerance system, anyone could hear the dissatisfaction between the lines.
Indeed, if this system is strictly implemented, the player will become a robot and can only play silently and cannot express opinions on the penalty.
The NHA is a commercial league that focuses on viewing and attraction. After an offensive and defensive performance, communication with the referee has become part of the NH seventh game.
Old Nelson obviously knew that the league should strengthen the referee's power to control the game. He shook his head and said, "The high confrontational movement process itself will make people react instinctively. I do not oppose the referee's excessive behavior and the referee's instinctive fouls. However, complaining to the referee and instinctive reaction are different."
In the view of Old Nelson, when players are interrupted by whistles, they will have various reactions. This is a gray area between the judgment and the non-verdict, but the league has to distinguish these things from the truth.
Chamberlain said indignantly: "This change is completely unnecessary behavior. The players' complaints about the referee are far from reaching the point where they need to set rules specifically for this. However, with such rules, it undoubtedly affects the players' performance and passion in the game, and thus affects the excitement of the game."
This strategy has now encountered unanimous resistance from players, fans and media, except for the referees. According to the media, New Zero Tolerance is like the first card of a domino. Once the league knocks it down, the next thing that falls is the quality of the game, and then the one that will suffer is the NHAR spoon market.
According to the new zero tolerance system, players now make moves to the referee, chatter and referee theory; if they run across the court and wave their arms to show suspicion; or clap their hands to satirize the referee, they will be regarded as disrespectful to the law enforcement officers and be called technical foul.
Moreover, the fines for these technical fouls are twice as high as before, with the first 6 times being $26 each, and the fines will be escalated thereafter.
There was nothing wrong on the plane, and the group began to discuss the system introduced by the alliance in an enthusiastic manner, and at the same time criticized Stern and his uniform team.
The referee and the players form a game together, but both sides are teammates and opponents. It's like tug of war, one of them pulls the rope at one end. If the referee's strength is too strong, the game will develop in the direction of mechanization, and if the players' strength is too strong, the game will develop in the direction of chaos.
Neither of these situations should have happened.
In order to maintain fairness in the game, the NHA should not expand the referee's power, but should continue to expand the scope of playback shots.
In UL, when a referee misses a whistle, players can "challenge the referee's penalty". As long as it is not the last two minutes, any player thinks there is a dispute, they can choose to question the referee, and if it fails, it will consume a timeout.
In addition, NHAO can also expand the playback range by watching the game by the fourth referee. In UL, there is a referee who specializes in replaying the last two minutes and overtime of the game.
The Warriors are particularly resistant to this system because the zero-tolerance system has a particularly strong influence on big-name stars. In fact, the introduction of this system is not so much to maintain the fairness of the game, but Stern wants to balance the strength of NH teams.
With the emergence of Chamberlain's pervert, the NHA has become unbalanced. It can be seen from the Warriors' two consecutive championships that other teams do not have the strength to defeat the Warriors at all.
Now the grouping of the three giants has made this situation even more exaggerated, with strong teams stronger and weaker teams weaker.
But if the referee's ability to control the game is enhanced, the league's voice can be increased - as long as the referee blows a few false whistles at critical moments, he can send off one or two players with great influence on the game, which is equivalent to controlling the game.
Amid the discussions of many players, the plane slowly landed at Orlando International Airport, and the Warriors were about to usher in their second game.
The Magic entered the finals two years ago and thought that the bright future was waiting in the future. Unexpectedly, the Boston Celtics returned last season. This season, the Miami Heat formed the Big Three. This Magic, let alone the championship, is getting farther and farther away from the Eastern Conference Championship, and it is even more difficult to return to the Eastern Conference Finals.
To be conservative, the Magic can maintain the top three in the Eastern Conference this season, and for the Eastern Conference champions, they are just a challenger.
Compared with the magician's move in the summer of 2009 - going to Tkoglu and coming to Carter, the magicians are quieter this summer. They just bet on offensive players and signed Quentin Richardson, Chris Duhon, and Jason Williams to match the Chicago Bulls' quotation against Redick.
The Magic had no choice. They were aiming at Billups, but they were looking for connections through the back door. The Warriors were still playing in the finals, so they thought they could definitely get Billups.
As a result, the new season began. Billups went to Los Angeles and played free-time matches with Griffin. The Magic needed to transform magic to get the big-name stars they liked.
The Magic have been the top three teams in the league for two consecutive seasons. Last season, the Magic performed particularly well, especially in the second half, with attack efficiency and defensive efficiency at the top of the league.
However, in the Eastern Conference Finals, they did not cross the sophisticated Celtics, and the Celtics used the form of meat grinders to curb Howard, Carter, Lewis, and Nelson Jr.
As the new season starts, the Magic's other selling point, except for the Dwight Howard, has dropped significantly compared to the previous two years.
Without Tekoglu, without Carter, and without the legendary Billups, the Magic team was running wildly on the way to death.
But even so, no one dares to underestimate magic.
The biggest advantage of the Magic lies in defense. Apart from Howard, the entire team has done a good job in defense, and the disadvantage is also obvious that it lacks the ability to create shooting opportunities. This is why the Celtics solved the Magic in the playoffs last season.
But apart from defense, the Magic has nothing to look forward to.
A summer has passed and a new season has arrived. The Magic are now questioning.
In EpN's final transfer inventory, they were considered to be back if they didn't advance, and it was difficult to achieve better results than last season.
For Magic, all four stars have to take responsibility for losing, but the part that everyone needs to bear is different.
First of all, Dwight Howard and Jamill Nelson. Some voices in the circle accused the former of being rough and the latter of being bad at passing the ball, which is actually unreasonable. This is not to say that these statements are not facts, but Howard played the body ball, and Nelson's point guard scored bones, which were originally included in the Magic's conventional combat power considerations.
Next, let’s talk about Lewis. Last season, he played against the Celtics. Mr. Billionaire and was out of control. The industry also clamored that Kevin Garnett was rejuvenated and once again performed a dominant defensive performance.
Speaking of which, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Tkoglu's only contribution to the game was to demonstrate Garnett's strength, but this is definitely not what the Magic Uniform Team wants to see.
The past has passed, and looking to the future, whether the Magic's season goals can be achieved will still fall on Lewis. This is actually the embarrassment of this team.
As early as before last season, the industry predicted that Lewis would return to his small forward position when he debuted. He had no advantage in playing wing flexibility, but the combination of height and shooting skills was almost perfect.
As for who will fill the gap that Lewis is swaying downward, let God solve it. In the current situation of Magic, it is impossible to make perfect changes.
In general, if the Magic wants to make progress, they may only rely on changes in lineup and personnel arrangements, rather than hoping for a player who suddenly has a rapid leap forward in his ability.
