Before the training camps of the NBA teams began, another big deal appeared in the league.

The Celtics packed the Hulk's "Hulk" Kevin Garnett and double-athlete guard Jason Terry and sent 76ers to exchange for point guard Ju Holiday and power forward David Lee.

This is a mutual deception deal. Both parties concealed various problems such as the injury risks of the players of their team and their serious decline in their condition. Otherwise, the deal would not be reached.

Garnett had the right to veto the deal when he renewed his contract with the Celtics, and he did not use this right. He was numb and stayed in the Celtics enough, and he didn't beat his chest and yelled after the jump shot. He just wanted to go to the 76ers' gangsters, and waited for the contract to expire and then cut his salary and join a strong team to compete for the championship.

Garnett and Nowitzki became the league's brothers and sisters. They are both super power forwards who have been selected as All-Stars many times and have never won the championship ring. After Nowitzki joined the Nets, he can still compete next season, and Garnett has no thoughts at all.

After the 76ers traded, they sent away two important scoring points. They may be able to enter the playoffs in the new season and have not gone far. They won 4 wins and 3 losses in the preseason.

The situation of each team in the new season is still two-level, with clear strength and weakness. Strong teams recruiting soldiers and wanting to compete for the championship, while most teams are preparing to play badly because experts predict that next season will be a draft year.

After the preseason, people were surprised to find that the Eastern Nets were resurrected and they achieved a record of 7 consecutive victories.

The Nets' winning team has a direct relationship with Nowitzki and Ariza's joining, and they all quickly integrated into the team.

Nowitzki is good at helping his teammates open up space, and the Nets' ball rights are not as conflicting as last season. Howard is responsible for a low-post strong attack, while the other three stars and Ariza are all active on the periphery, mainly attacking in the face frame.

Among them, Ariza's position is fixed, and he waits for opportunities to receive the ball and shoot at the bottom corner. Nowitzki and Deron can also play the power in the pick-and-roll. When his teammates fail to make a shot, Howard is responsible for grabbing the frontcourt rebound.

This is Howard's strength, and he is familiar with the game rhythm when he found the magic. As long as Deron cannot break through incorrectly or directly attack after pick-and-roll, he will pass the ball to the middle, and Nowitzki can hold the ball and play singles.

Nowitzki was responsible for the mission of Magic forward Tkoglu back then. His singles ability was much stronger than that of the Turks, and his mid-range shooting percentage has always been very stable.

After Mike Brown was the coach last season, he often arranged to play like this, but there was a power forward responsible for pick-and-roll.

Another weakness of the Nets is that the shooting guard Kobe likes to run to the low post. He breaks through with the ball, stops and jumps. He can do everything and attacks kaleidoscope, but he doesn't like to stand at the bottom corner to help his teammates open up space and catch the ball and shoot.

Never underestimate the three-pointer in the bottom corner, this is the key to breaking the joint defense. The main limitation of the joint defense is to limit breakthroughs. The more obvious loophole is the position of the two bottom corners, and the player cannot save as soon as the player shrinks.

Last season, the Nets asked Deron and Pierce to hit the bottom corners in a poor shooting percentage. They did not assume such a task in their respective teams, and their three-pointers were mainly made on both sides and in the middle.

Ariza is not a star, but the problem was solved as soon as he came. As early as the Suns, his offensive task was to shoot the bottom corner and cut the baseline, and he almost never attacked the ball. On the defensive end, he could also deal with the main scorers.

The second team in the Eastern Conference preseason was the Bulls, with 6 wins and 1 loss, only losing to the Nets. After Rolldon joined, the Bulls' wing strength increased, and Derek Ross returned from injury and made a breakthrough very sharply, which was the same as the past.

The best team in the Western Conference is the Warriors, with a 6 win and 1 loss when the starting lineup is reserved. The worst team is the Mavericks, who have lost all 7 games, which is clearly about to win the No. 1 pick.

The Mavericks' purpose is to play badly, and the coaching staff has also made plans for this. If Kobe influences the team to play badly and feels particularly good, he can replace him and rest for a while, interrupt his feel and ensure a low winning rate.

Coach Rick Carlisle soon found that he was thinking too much. Without waiting for the regular season, Kobe and Ellis competed for the ball in the team's training, and it was at the point of squirting about trash talks between each other.

Although Ellis is younger, when Kobe was in the Lakers, Ellis was just his substitute, a wasteful man who averaged over 10 points per game. How could Kobe play Ellis?

After Kobe left the Lakers, Ellis was the team's scoring champion in the peak season, and his data was not much worse than Kobe. He felt that he should be the main attacking point on the outside. He believed that since the Mavericks had issued a poison contract to dig him up, he wanted to reuse him. He could not train a 35-year-old veteran in the new season, right?

In fact, after knowing that the Mavericks traded Kobe, Ellis was mentally prepared to grab the ball. He would not be polite to Kobe. The Mavericks began to rebuild, and his goal was to be the boss and make money by the way. In his opinion, Kobe will definitely get out of here when his contract expires next year.

Then, before playing in the preseason, Ellis was squirted by Kobe. "You're soft like toilet paper."

Ellisford was in his heart and retorted Kobe: "You are just used toilet paper."

Mayo, who had just joined, listened to the silent sigh, feeling that he had finally separated from Wade, but entered a worse environment, and he would not have the ball rights in the new season.

Anyway, it’s all toilet paper. You two are so similar, they are born from the same roots, so why are they too anxious to fight each other?

Bystanders all thought they were quite boring. The media predicted that the Mavericks would be bad and would not even make up for a season?

The answer is no. After playing three pre-season games, in one training session, Ellis accidentally injured his right thumb while defending Kobe. It is expected to be injured for 8 weeks, gg.

A week later, Ellis underwent a thumb repair surgery.

After the preseason, Kobe said in an interview that Ellis' injury was a big loss for the Mavericks.

"I feel sad for him and for our team." When asked about Ellis' injury, Kobe sighed: "Eight weeks are a big loss for us, but he can use this opportunity to make himself better."

He also noted that since the start of training camp, Ellis has brought enthusiasm, offense and chemistry to the Mavericks.

Seeing Kobe's concern was not intentional at all. Only when talking about the reason for his teammate's injury, Kobe joked: "My body is made of steel, and that's the reason."

Ellis did not comment on Kobe in an interview. He had no evidence that the other party did it on purpose and he was almost mad. Maybe his only evidence is that Kobe's iron body has hurt too many people?

The media exposed that the two of them were swearing each other, and their relationship was not good when they were in the Lakers. After the Lakers traded with the Warriors, Ellis also satirized Kobe, who left the team.

Kobe is not a winner either, and online fans didn't say anything good to him.

"Bryant is so awesome. The Mavericks have had an internal strife before they officially started. The Mavericks must be at the bottom of the game."

"The Mavericks thought that Kobe could easily get rid of his free salary space when he came to the deal for a year without paying any price. The management is too naive."

"If the Nets vs. Warriors in the finals, the Nets will eventually win the championship, that would be very interesting."

The reporters wanted to interview Guo Xu and asked him to evaluate the new season. At the end of October, he and his two girlfriends went to the Alps for a trip, and the place was quiet.

TNT Radio invited Guo Xu to be a guest, but he directly refused, saying that he was not interested for the time being.
