I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 363 Alliance Ranking
At the same time as the media open day, the predictions of the major media for the new season have reached their final climax.

The Mavericks were too surprising last season, so although the Mavericks' trade this season is somewhat incomprehensible, they let go of the starting center and let the relatively good combat power on the bench leave.

But in the ranking of the entire league, this team ranks third in the league, just one place lower than the Heat and the Thunder.

Of course, this is also normal. The Heat traded Battier as soon as the free trade market opened, which made them a good addition to the third position. More importantly, the entire perimeter defense was further improved. In addition, Battier's shooting range can also easily help the team widen the point difference.

In short, the impact of this transaction is far more far-reaching than Battier's own fighting power!

Because for a team like the Heat, once there are players who can help the Big Three, it will definitely make it easier for the Big Three to play on the court, and this ease will also make the Big Three play better!
It is a matter of course that they are number one.

The most important thing is that the ridicule that this team received this offseason has not subsided for a day. Whenever there is any news about the Heat, the comments below are almost "Hahaha, this configuration can't win the championship. I really don't know what else LeBron can do now. Could it be that he is going to join forces with Kobe? I think the Lakers should go, but Kobe is not necessarily." ...

These messages must be stimulating for this group of players, especially top players like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. They will not be overwhelmed by these rumors, but will catch up because of these rumors, until they can use their performance to make these rumors disappear!
So this season's Heat team must be very scary!
In addition to this team, there is also the Thunder team that also brought surprises last season. This team has also made very good reinforcements in the newly opened free market.

It's a sure thing 1
It is also for this reason that these two teams rank first and second in the league's overall ranking.

"The third place, I want to leave it to the defending champions. I think they have this strength. Although I don't agree with their off-season trade, this team still has Nowitzki and Lin. They are the key reasons why the Mavericks can go to the end last season. Now, when the team needs them to take more responsibility, I think we will see their performance better, especially Lin. His rookie season is impressive, and now this team needs him to take on more things. His performance will also determine the team's performance in the new season. How far can you go!"

This is ESPN's ranking. When evaluating the Mavericks team, experts believe that although the departure of Tyson Chandler and Caron Butler will have an impact on the team, it will not seriously affect the entire team. The soul of this team is still there, and what kind of performance Lin Yang, the "best rookie" of last season, can play this season also determines how far this team can go!
……

Lin Yang's performance has become the key to whether the Mavericks can continue to be strong this season, and this is also reflected in ESPN's player rankings.

He was ranked 49th in the league overall!
This ranking is still the highest ranking of the Mavericks except Nowitzki.

"I really want to rank Lin higher. I think he can be ranked in the top 59 or even the top [-] in the league when he plays a miracle moment. This is my idea, because it is really incredible. However, one thing I have to say, the environment of the Mavericks last season was really suitable for Lin to play. When he left such a strong team, when he needs to rely more on himself, we can't know whether he can still perform like this! This is why I finally ranked him [-] in the league! I hope He can play better, so I have more reasons to rank him higher next year!"

The experts ranked him 49th in the league, but when talking about this ranking, they specifically said that Lin Yang could get a higher ranking when the "miracle moment" comes, but no one knows whether he can be as crazy as last season, so he can only be ranked at the current position.

If they are slapped in the face, ESPN experts are very happy to see such a thing happen, after all, it is not the first time they have been slapped in the face by Lin Yang!
Got used to it!
They even looked forward to something like this happening...

Nowitzki, who ranks higher than Lin Yang, is finally ranked 7th in the league. In front of him are LeBron James, Kobe, Wade, Howard, Paul, Rose...

Behind him are Duncan, Anthony and others!

To be honest, this ranking is already high enough!
After all, the few people in front of him are indeed very dominant, and Nowitzki can still be ranked seventh in the league when he is one year older this year. It is really thanks to his impressive performance in the finals, which makes him ranked seventh in the league when his overall state may decline rapidly when he is one year older!
This is the respect ESPN experts have for Nowitzki, and also an apology for their underestimation of Nowitzki.

"Dirk Nowitzki, now, I can directly declare that even if he retires now, he is also the greatest international player in the NBA. This point has not been disputed after last year's finals, and this is why he can be ranked in this position. We all know that he is 34 years old, but so what, his state last season and his performance in the finals have proved that this guy is not old.

……

A reporter also specifically asked Lin Yang about his opinion on ranking 49th on the media open day.

"This kind of ranking doesn't have any practical meaning for me. Just like ESPN experts said, they are waiting for me to slap me in the face. In other words, they don't believe that I am only ranked in this position, so there is no need to discuss..."
