As training camp for NBA teams approached the start, there was another big deal in the league.

The Celtics sent "Hulk Wolf" Kevin Garnett and two-way guard Jason Terry to the 76ers in exchange for point guard Jrue Holiday and power forward David Lee.

It was a deal that deceived each other, and both sides hid the injury risks of their players, serious dips in form, etc., otherwise the deal would not have been completed.

Garnett had a trade veto when he renewed his contract with the Green Army, and he didn't use that right. He's numb, he's had enough of being in the Green Army, and he doesn't beat his chest and roar after his jumper hits. He just wants to go to the 76ers to live as a gangster, and when his contract expires, he will take a salary cut and join a strong team to compete for the championship.

Garnett and Nowitzki have become difficult brothers in the league, both multi-time All-Star super-power forwards who have never won a championship ring. Nowitzki can compete next season after joining the Nets, and Garnett has no thoughts about it at all.

The 76ers sent away two important scoring points after the trade, and they may be able to make the playoffs in the new season, but they can't go far. In the preseason, they had a 4-3 record.

In the new season, the situation of each team is still two-tiered, with clear strengths and weaknesses. Capable teams are looking for a championship, and most are ready to play a bad game, as experts predict that next season will be a draft year.

After the preseason, people were surprised to find that the Eastern Nets had come back to life, and they had won seven in a row.

The Nets' win was directly related to the arrival of Nowitzki and Ariza, who quickly integrated into the team.

Nowitzki is good at opening up space for his teammates, and the Nets don't have the same conflicting possession as they did last season. Howard is in charge of the low-post attack, and the other three stars plus Ariza are all active on the perimeter, and the face-frame offense is dominant.

Ariza was in a fixed position, and he waited for an opportunity in the bottom corner to catch the ball and shoot. Nowitzki and Delon can also play a pick-and-roll game, and when teammates don't make a shot, Howard is responsible for grabbing the rebound in the frontcourt.

That's Howard's forte, and he's found the rhythm of the game that the Magic was familiar with. As long as Delon can't misplace the break or shoot directly after the block, he will pass the ball to the middle, and Nowitzki can hold the ball and play alone.

Nowitzki was tasked with Magic striker Turkoglou, who was much better than the Turks in singles, and his mid-to-long shooting percentage was consistent.

After being replaced by Mike Brown as coach last season, he actually arranged to play like this, but with one less power forward who was responsible for blocking and pick-and-roll.

Another weakness of the Nets is that shooting guard Kobe Bryant likes to run low post. He breaks through with the ball, he pulls up and shoots, he can do anything, attacking kaleidoscope, but he doesn't like to stand in the bottom corner to help his teammates open up space, catch the ball and shoot.

Never underestimate the bottom corner three, that's the key to breaking the defense. The joint defense mainly restricts the breakthrough, and the more obvious loophole is the position of the two bottom corners, and the player can't pounce when he shrinks.

Last season, the Nets had Deron and Pierce shooting from the bottom corner. They didn't take on this kind of task in their respective teams, and their three-point shots were mostly shot from the sides and in the middle.

Ariza is not a star, but he solved the problem as soon as he came, as early as the beginning of the Suns, his offensive tasks were to shoot from the bottom corner and cut from the baseline, and almost never attacked with the ball. Defensively, he can also play against major scorers.

The second-place team in the Eastern Conference preseason is the Bulls, 6-1 and only one loss to the Nets. After the addition of Rohrdeng, the Bulls' wing strength has been strengthened, and Derrick Rose is still very sharp when he returns from injury, and he has the same style of play as in the past.

The best team in the West is the Warriors, who are 6-1 with a reserved starting lineup. The worst team is the Mavericks, who have lost all 7 games and are clearly going to impact the top pick.

The purpose of the Mavericks is to mess around, and the coaching staff has a plan for that. If Kobe Bryant affects the team's swing, you can replace him for a while when he feels particularly good, interrupt his hand, and ensure a low winning rate.

Coach Rick Carlisle soon found himself thinking too much, and without waiting for the regular season, Kobe Bryant and Ellis competed for the ball in team practice, to the point of trash talk to each other.

Although Ellis is younger, when Kobe Bryant was with the Lakers, Ellis was just his backup, averaging more than 10 points per game, how could Kobe give Ellis a hand?

Ellis was the team's leading scorer in his peak season after Kobe Bryant left the Lakers, and his stats were not much worse than Kobe. He felt that he should be the main point of attack on the outside. He thinks that since the Mavericks have issued a poison contract to poach him, they are going to reuse him, so why can't they train a 35-year-old veteran in the new season, right?

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

Then, before the preseason was played, Ellis was trash talked by Kobe. "You're as soft as toilet paper."

Ellisford replied to Kobe: "You're just used toilet paper." ”

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

Anyway, it's all toilet paper, the two of you are so similar, you are born from the same root, why are you in a hurry to fry each other?

Onlookers think they are quite boring, and the media predicts that the Mavericks are going to be rotten, and they can't even survive for a season?

The answer is no, after the Mavericks played three preseason games, in a training session, Ellis accidentally injured his right thumb while defending Kobe, and is expected to be out of action for 8 weeks, GG.

A week later, Ellis underwent thumb repair surgery.

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

'I feel sorry for him and I feel sorry for our team. When asked about Ellis' injury, Bryant lamented: "Eight weeks is a big loss for us, but he can use this opportunity to make himself better. ”

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

Looking at Kobe's concerned expression, it didn't seem like it was intentional at all. Only when talking about the reason for his teammate's injury, Bryant joked: "My body is made of steel, and that's why." ”

Ellis did not comment on Kobe Bryant in an interview, he had no evidence that the other party did it on purpose, and he was going crazy. Maybe the only evidence he had was that Kobe Bryant's body of steel had hurt too many people?

The media exposed that the two were trash-talking to each other, and their relationship was not good when they were with the Lakers, and after the Lakers and Warriors traded, Ellis also sarcastically mocked Kobe Bryant, who left the team.

Kobe Bryant wasn't a winner either, and none of the online fans had anything good to say about him.

"Kobe Bryant is too good, just arrived at the Mavericks before the official start of the fight, there is no need to doubt that the Mavericks must be at the bottom."

"The Mavericks thought that trading to Kobe Bryant for a year could easily get rid of him and free up salary space without paying any price, and the management was too naïve."

"If the finals are Nets vs. Warriors, and the Nets win the championship, it will be very interesting."

The reporters wanted to interview Guo Xu and ask him to evaluate the new season, but at the end of October, he and his two girlfriends went to the Alps for a tour, which was clean.

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

Before leaving, he tweeted online: "I don't want to watch or follow basketball recently, I want to take a good vacation." ”
