The Lakers have created a butterfly effect after strengthening the lineup, and Chinese players can be seen again in the new NBA season.

The manager of the Rockets is not Gu Amo, so today I am not talking about the story of a "big devil" who joined the NBA after buying out the contract. The Rockets are ready to let Zhou Qi practice in the CBA for a season and become a free man.

Zhou Qi's physical measurement data is 217CM barefoot, 219CM in shoes, 233CM in arm span, and only 99 kg in weight. If he wants to adapt to NBA-level confrontations, he must first gain weight, and he is 20 pounds lighter than the Knicks' Porzingis.

The person who can play in the NBA is Yi Jianlian, who was invited by the Celtics to participate in training camp and will play in the preseason.

In the parallel world, Yi Jianlian participated in the Lakers' training camp and ultimately failed to stay.

In the Lakers, Yi Jianlian can only be the 15th man, which is very different from his goal of returning to the NBA, and secondly, there are too many newcomers in the Lakers, and he has no chance to perform, so he refused the base salary contract and returned to China.

The Celtics are different, they failed to poach Al Horford in the summer, and they are seriously short on the inside, perhaps the weakest in the league.

The Green team's interior line is mainly rotated by four players, Jarred Sallinger, Kelly Olynyk, Tyler Zeller, Amir Johnson. They are not qualified as role players, have no development value, and have no commercial value.

Yi Jianlian is a range-bound combat force, his weakness is defense, playing the center against the loss, playing the big forward is slow to move and the defense is not good at blocking and dismantling. The Green Army has a tradition of signing such players, and they know very well that signing a Chinese player can attract the attention of Chinese fans and become the "Chinese home team".

Wang Zhizhi played many seasons in the Green Army before retiring, signed a long-term contract, and is the second-best Chinese player in the NBA. As long as Yi Jianlian works hard in the preseason, he will stay 100%.

The next day was an open practice session as usual, and the hardcore Lakers fans rushed to the stadium to watch the game, and the arena was full.

The Lakers' 15 players were divided into yellow and white teams to play against each other, although there was no score, the fans also enjoyed watching it, and there were a lot of wonderful matches and dunks.

Guo Xu and Durant are unstoppable in the first team, and Adams forms a triangle in the low post, and the two on the outside are opportunities to take the ball alone, and the defense team can't wrap it.

If this kind of standing defender wants to wrap up, he can only let go of Guo Xu or Durant, and Adams can't put it, he can attack the basket when he catches the ball and turns around in the low post.

Last season, other teams couldn't prevent Guo Xu, and they often followed him without the ball if they wanted to limit him from scoring.

Durant's ability to break packs is also top-notch, and the weak-side help defense must be a big man. A person who is less than two meters tall can't block him, and Durant throws it with a little space to shoot, and the jump shot is accurate.

They also have a common feature, they don't need to look at the object when they hold the ball, and they can ensure scoring efficiency no matter who is in charge. Guo Xu's skills and speed are invincible, and Durant is misplaced when he fights anyone.

Wade will definitely play as a substitute in the new season, and he is not suitable to start with Guo Xu and Durant. When playing triangle offense on the strong side, Wade doesn't know what to do on the weak side, there are superstars who can't attack him with the ball, and he can't be a fixed-point pitcher because of his poor mid-to-long-range shooting percentage.

At this time, the weak side should send someone who can open up the space, Booker, Carter, and Tucker can play anyone.

Andre Robertson is even less likely to play, his shooting is worse than Wade's, and he is one of the worst outside players in the league.

Horford is going to focus on three-point shooting inside, and he will have a lot of opportunities to shoot three-pointers in the new season. The coach doesn't need him to attack in the low post, just pull away from the cover, and do a second organization point on the periphery without a direct shot, and occasionally he can also attack one with the ball in the face frame.

The task of the others is very simple, only two jobs, catching and shooting, and cutting the air, and they don't have to attack with the ball throughout the game. Devin Booker, who played well last season, is going to go off the ball.

Last season, the Lakers' lack of offensive points on the offensive end turned into an advantage, and the bench of Raymond Felton and Jason Terry can also play with the ball and have a lot of experience. However, they rarely had any chance to perform, and their task was to dribble the ball through the half.

The Lakers' two rookies this year had eye-catching performances and surprises in the matchup.

Zubac was excellent both offensively and defensively around the box, and he received a perfect score for his size in the draft, and his potential is not low. His weakness is that he has no range and can only attack in the low post and under the basket.

Zubac's explosiveness and bounce are average, and the ceiling of the draft template is the Raptors' center Valanciunas. The Lakers would have made a lot of money if they could reach that level, Zubac was the bottom few in the first round, and Valanciunas was the fifth pick that year.

He can't guard against the defender, Guo Xu can clean him up with a change of direction. He did a good job defending the penalty area, and he was able to resist Adams and Bogut, and his strength was not too much of a loss.

He can show off his feet and back-to-back singles in the low post, and he can play well in the new season, and as long as he plays at the level of training, he will definitely get some playing opportunities. The 32-year-old Bogut has no potential to dig into, and the Lakers can work on newcomers in the regular season.

Forward Davis Belstein's role is single, which is to catch the ball and shoot, and the three-point is accurate. His shortcomings are also obvious, he is a pure shooter on the outside, the type of Novak and Korver, and the shooting percentage will drop if someone interferes in front of him.

Baelstein's confrontation ability is terrible, and the No. 4 position can't be defended by a strong interior attack, and there is no way to take the second-year half-orc Harrell one-on-one. If he is allowed to defend small forward, his mobility is not enough, and it is easy to be passed.

To put it bluntly, what he can defend is a forward with a similar style to himself, a person who relies on shooting and has average offensive ability with the ball.

Even so, the Lakers management felt that it was a good deal, because Baelstan was cheap, and he was simply the kind that didn't need money. He can enrich the team's tactics when he plays, shooting more accurately than Horford and defending much better than last season's veteran Bonner.

Of course, Baelstein's accurate shooting was only the third option at the No. 4 position, as Harrell's performance in the head-to-head was unusually impressive, and he was more courageous than last season.

He catches the ball and rushes up to dunk, and he can also take advantage of his quick footwork and excellent bounce to dangle the back frame. He plays a bit like Amare Stadamire, who is shorter than Smalls and has more power. Defensively, he's also extremely tough on rebounding and low-post defense.

On the first day of training, the Lakers' worst performance was Andre Robertson. He also had the worst training performance last year, with little to no offensive stats. On the defensive end, he can't defend role players, and he can't defend against Durant and Guo Xu.

Robertson can only hope that Lakers management will be more humane and willing to make a reasonable offer based on his defensive ability in the coming year. It is definitely no fun for him to want a high salary, in the parallel world, he played an obvious role in the Thunder's starting defense, and when he renewed his contract in 2017, he only received an offer of 30 million for 3 years.

After a few days of training in the training camp, Durant easily integrated into the team, and cooperated with Guo Xu and Horford very tacitly.

During the team dinner, he sighed that it was so cool to partner with Guo Xu, and he had never played so comfortably since he entered the league.

What kind of life did he live before? As soon as he catches the ball, he is sure to be trapped, flanked and perimeter man, and let go of Westbrook and Sefrosha. Almost all of the Lakers' players can shoot the basketball, and Durant will have plenty of heads-up opportunities in the new season.

Wade can't get back to his form when he was with the Heat, and his stats will definitely drop compared to when he was with the Nets, but he's in a good mood. He came to the Lakers just to win the championship, and the data doesn't matter.

On October 5, the Lakers played the first game of the preseason in the same city derby against the Clippers, and they attracted a lot of attention just by warming up......
