136【EDPN List】
Texas top three, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks (formerly Dallas Mavericks), San Antonio Spurs!
This is one of the most feared divisions of the entire NBA team.
The Mavericks (Mavericks) are weak, the Rockets are strong, and the San Antonio Spurs are old.
These are the three major illusions that have always been around the league. Over the years, countless teams have suffered losses on this illusion.
But it is undeniable that, judging by last season, these three illusions have finally become reality.
First of all, the Dallas Mavericks, who only achieved a record of 32 wins and 50 losses in the regular season, while in the Purgatory West, to be honest, this record can only rank the bottom. The Dallas Mavericks are very weak and are no longer empty talk.
Next is the Houston Rockets. The regular season Houston Rockets are at their peak and rank first in the league in record. Whether it is against the Golden State Warriors, the Cleveland Cavaliers, or even the final champion San Antonio Spurs, they have never suffered any losses, but instead have caused their opponents to suffer repeated defeats.
So, the Houston Rockets are really strong in the regular season.
It is undeniable that the San Antonio Spurs eventually won the O'Brien Cup, and there are also the rise of young players like Jiang Hao and Dezhangtai Murray, but judging from the age structure of the entire team, the Spurs were indeed very old last season.
Moreover, a recognized fact today is that if Jiang Hao had not emerged, the Spurs last season would not have even been able to enter the playoffs.
So, regardless of whether these three illusions come true, one thing is certain, that is, the situation of these three teams in the new season has undergone earth-shaking changes as Jiang Hao makes a decision.
Especially the Dallas Mavericks, this is a direct turn from an old hen to a duck. From a bottom-skinned fish to a strong team, Mark Cuban tells you that this is a matter of one thought.
In the sports world, espn is the biggest fence-between. After Jiang Hao made the decision to officially join the Dallas Mavericks, the Mavericks became the fourth in the new season championship rankings.
Of course, even so, many Jiang Hao and even Mavericks fans think that espn is looking down on people.
Is Xinke FVP so unrestrained?
Is the Mavericks ranked fourth?
Espn then gave an explanation. Although the bayonet is very strong, he only played in this league for one season and was under the command of San Antonio Spurs Popovich. In other words, although he won the Most Valuable Player in the Finals, it is undeniable that he did not prove his ability to lead the team from beginning to end.
You know, after the start of the new season, the challenges Jiang Hao faces are far from comparable to those he was with the Spurs.
To give a brief example, when all the head coaches in the league and all players no longer regard you as a simple rookie, but as the leader of the Mavericks, they will target you and study you crazily when they are playing against the Mavericks.
So, in this case, can Jiang Hao still remain strong? These are still to be verified.
Some fans mentioned Dirk Nowitzki and DeAndrew Jordan.
However, ESPN's response was that the King of Nothing, who is about to be 40, is no longer the super insider who can stand alone. The new season will be the last season for the Germans, and his role positioning is also very clear, that is, the spiritual leader. Don't expect him to stand up again on the court to save the team. That's unrealistic.
As for DeAndrew Jordan, he has always been a very tough defender and a rebounder since he entered the league, but he has never been a leader.
A 21-year-old rookie who still needs to prove himself, a veteran who is over 40 years old, an inside defensive player who has never been a leader, and at most a Tanhua show at this year's draft.
To be honest, when espn explained, people had to nod their heads. Being able to rank the Mavericks in fourth place is indeed the end of righteousness.
After all, look at the three teams ranked among the Mavericks, they are truly powerful.
The Houston Rockets ranked first, although the Houston Rockets were eliminated by the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs last season.
But their hard strength is not bad, and they have never disappointed in the regular season. Now, with the addition of former scoring champion Cameron Anthony, it is undoubtedly a big addition and a new level. It is definitely worthy of being ranked first.
The second place is the Golden State Warriors. Although they were swept by the Spurs last season in the Western Conference Finals and just lost Kevin Durant, don't forget that they still have 3 All-Star players, and with the joining of All-Star inside Cousins, in fact, the Golden State Warriors' hard strength is still strong in the new season and has not declined much.
Espn gave the third throne to the Philadelphia 76ers, which is basically not controversial, because both Embiid and Ben Simmons are geniuses, and they will inevitably usher in an explosion in the new season. It should be pointed out that they also have Jimmy Butler, a very tough All-Star.
Judging from the overall weak situation in the East, as long as the 76ers in Philadelphia do not have any major problems, they are the bosses in the East.
Of course, the list given by espn is only a ranking that has just begun for the current transfer market for a week.
As we all know, the transfer market will continue to open for a long time, and during this period, all teams in the league will strengthen.
In addition, there are still some outstanding players in the transfer market, such as Kawhi Leonard.
As of now, Kawhi Leonard has not made a decision. As a superstar, wherever he ends up going, it will have a new impact on the situation in the league.
For example, it has been rumored in the past two days that the Los Angeles Lakers are going all out to contact Kawhi Leonard's team.
Imagine that if Leonard really joins the Hu people in the end, then the Lakers' strength will inevitably usher in a huge improvement.
In this case, can you say that the Lakers who have Leonard LeBron James will be worse than the Dallas Mavericks?
As for Jiang Haohe, they now have a salary space of $1, and head coach Carlisle also publicly stated to the media that their attraction has not yet ended, and they will upgrade their existing lineup.
In the transfer market, there are still some excellent role players now, who are actually very cost-effective. As long as the Mavericks take action, there is basically no problem.
For Jiang Hao, he is already exercising the right to be a team leader, because just yesterday, head coach Carlisle had communicated with him and hoped that Jiang Hao would express his opinions on the team's strengthening.
