At the end of the preseason, the official strength list of the NBA was released in the first round, and the Suns ranked fourth, and many teams with better record in seven games were ranked behind them.

The Rockets who won all the best ranked first, and Chinese fans were very excited. This year they finally saw a powerful Rocket that could play a combination of internal and external Rockets, rather than McGrath taking one step to pull out the big two points.

Yao Ming is in excellent form and can easily score 20+ on the court. Old Nelson is very satisfied with Yao Ming and praises his shooting as confident as Nowitzki, and his defense in the penalty area is better than Nowitzki.

Yao Mingbi Novizki has a short range and is used to relying on the defender to catch the ball at a low post. He uses one or two strokes to turn around and take action. His 226cm height jump shot and his opponent's center forward's single defense cannot block it.

In addition to his unique skills of turning around and jump shots, Yao Ming can also use his steps to turn around and hook his hands to the middle and bottom line, apply a layup under the basket, and dunk.

Yao Ming's good performance in the preseason has a direct relationship with Billups. The two of them are very suitable for their partnership. Alstom was squeezed to the bench without any suspense. Billups is a tall heavy point guard with excellent passing awareness and solid basic skills. He brought it to the side, whether it hits the ground or back-slung, making Yao Ming feel comfortable to catch the ball. Then he pulled out from outside the three-point line to attract the defense.

Once Yao Ming scores continuously, forcing the opponent's formation to shrink and double-team at low posts. Billups will have three-pointers to make his phone, and his hit rate is stable. He cannot take a direct shot, and he can also attract the rotation defense to Prince at the bottom corner.

Prince can catch three-pointers at open positions, and his shooting is not low. He averaged 1 goal per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 38.6%. He is good at cutting at the baseline and has a very tacit understanding with Billups. He did not need to get in with the Rockets and directly integrated into the team.

The Rockets are also powerful on the defensive end. Sefrosa and Prince have strong wing protection. They are tall and long arms. They can not only retreat to the penalty area to defend against big men, but also interfere with small shooting and breakthroughs.

The Rockets' joint defense system has become stronger, with only Yao Ming's weakness. Scola's speed is not fast enough. It is difficult to get three-pointers when encountering screen defense guards, and Billups' pursuit is not fast.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Nelson joined the Warriors. In 2007, he defeated the Mavericks 66 and staged a Black Eight Miracle. Now the Rockets are better than the Warriors under his coaching.

Under the guidance of Old Nelson, the substitutes became a group of bench bandits. Alstom was very stable in the ball and could shoot three-pointers. Spanoris was responsible for the ball attack. He played pick-and-roll with Landry and could break through by himself, and could pass the ball to his teammates for mid-range shots or empty cuts.

The substitute center is Chuck Hayes, who is 198cm. He is very mobile and has good rebounds against people. The Rockets' rotation lineup can play positions and fast attacks. Spanoris plays the No. 2 position and is a small ball tactic of a double guard. He uses his playing style he is good at when he was in Greece and has super breakthrough ability.

In sharp contrast to the Rockets, the Pistons are at the bottom of the record of 1 win and 6 losses, and the wing defense is over without Prince. Rookie point guard Rodney Starkey has poor organizational ability, passes the ball after halftime, and has a very bad ability to catch and shoot.

For the sake of Stucky who is not like point guard, the Pistons actually sent Billups away. Just because Stucky, who is 195cm tall and weighs 95kg, has first-class physical fitness and good athletic talent, his manager Choudumas is simply crazy.

The second-ranked strength list is the Celtics, with 6 wins and 1 loss in the preseason, and the Magic ranked third, and 6 wins and 1 loss in the same way.

It is reasonable that the three giants of the Celtics are powerful, and their lineup crushes their opponents.

The Magic's strength has been significantly improved. After joining Marion, he has enhanced his forward's athletic ability and rebounding ability. He can not only play positional battles, but also run and bomb quickly counterattacks, and occasionally show off his back and throws.

Marion and Howard are on the court together, and teammates who don't score goals may also help them create two offensive opportunities.

This month, the Magic and the Cavaliers played in the China Championship. On the 17th, James generally only scored 17 points in the performance, while Howard dominated the field and scored 31 points and 14 rebounds. The Magic defeated his opponent 90-86.

On the 18th, the Magic played a game with the Chinese men's basketball star team. Howard only scored 12 points in the half, Marion scored 24 points and 15 rebounds, and the Magic won 116-92.

In the Macau game on the 20th, James' form rebounded, but the winner was still Magic. "Warcraft" scored 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Marion 18 points and 7 rebounds. The two helped the team complete the double kill against the Cavaliers in the Chinese match 100-84.

The effect of the Magic Trade was immediate. After the Cavaliers traded Ilgoskas, they performed poorly in the preseason after they traded Ilgoskas. The Warriors also performed very mediocre in the preseason, with 3 wins and 4 losses, which seemed to be a loss-winning deal.

After-match reporters interviewed Guo Xu and asked him to talk about his thoughts on the preseason.

Guo Xu said: "I don't have any special feelings, it doesn't matter if I win or lose. It's mainly because of warm-up and running-in, and finding feelings between teammates."

The reporter asked: "Do you have the confidence to lead the team to defend the title in the new season?"

"Of course." This is nonsense. It is impossible for Guo Xu to say he has no confidence in the face of this kind of problem.

This year's schedule is very strange. The Suns' home opening match was actually the weak Trail Blazers. There is no suspense, and it makes people wonder why the league has to arrange this. The highlight of the first day is the Lakers' home game against the Warriors.

The Suns won 25 points and had a good start, with advantages in every position. The Trail Blazers' mission is probably still bad. TJ Ford is like a person who helps Guo Xu find form. Guo Xu scored 40 points and 8 assists, made 7 of 14 three-pointers, and took advantage of the opponent without wasting much effort.

The Lakers beat the Warriors 108-93 at home to make a good start, which surprised everyone.

Kobe was very active against his old club. He played 13 of 32 shots in 43 minutes, made 13 of 3 three-pointers, 18 of 27 free throws, scored 45 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, and had 5 turnovers.

The Lakers were blooming at multiple points, with 6 players in the team scoring in double digits.

Substitute Ellis made 9 of 15 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, scoring the team's highest 25 points and 5 assists; Bogut made 7 of 12 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, 17 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks; Fisher made 6 of 9 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points and 2 assists.

Joe Johnson scored low shooting percentage and didn't shoot much, scoring 12 points and 7 assists, Artest scored 13 points and 5 rebounds, and Bathir scored 10 points.

Odom sprained ankle in the preseason, and he missed the first week of the game. The Lakers won by one inside star, relying on small ball tactics and tenacious defense.

The Lakers are not even the No. 1 position against the Warriors. Fisher is easily overwhelmed by the slow moving point guard against the small fast spirit point guard. He is a defensive expert when defending heavy guard. He can withstand Davis, constantly interfere with shooting, and his data is not inferior to the opponent.

Bogut defended the penalty area, Joe Johnson tangled Rollden with one defense, and substitute Ellis was not as fast as Barbosa.

Kobe began to find something was wrong. The Warriors were actually a group of overrated CBA teammates. Who else could he pass to besides his own singles? His shooting percentage was only 40.6% under the wheel match of Bathir and Artest. When he was impatient, he also had an abnormal free throw line, with a shooting percentage of only 66.7%.

The Warriors exposed serious problems at this time. Both major three-pointers were traded to the Lakers. They could only rely on Kobe and Murphy to make three-pointers. Substitutes Barbosa and Belinelli were good at three-pointers, but Kobe was the shooting guard. How many minutes can Belinelli play?

The Warriors made 2 of 3-pointers and 8 shots in the first game. Barbosa is not suitable to play with Kobe. He needs the ball to play. He is a master of chaos and is not a good organizer. They go to Barbosa together and lead the pass through the half-time. Brazil Lightning turns into Brazil Fisher.
