The 2008-2009 NBA regular season continued, and after the first two weeks, several teams showed what they were capable of.

In terms of strong teams, as everyone expected, the Celtics, Suns, and Lakers are all very strong. In particular, the yellow and green armies that fought fiercely in the finals last year showed amazing momentum.

The Celtics are aiming to defend the title, and everyone knows that the Celtics' current lineup is betting on winning the championship in a short period of time.

Last season, Celtic did just that, winning that damn Gold Cup. But that wasn't enough, the veterans' anger hasn't been fully vented. They each held on to their not-so-strong parent team for years, and now they made such a bold decision not just to win a championship.

The flames of the Celtics' victory are burning, and on the Lakers' side, the flames of revenge are rising.

From the regular season to the playoffs, the Lakers rode high, but lost to the Celtics in the Finals. The confrontation of fate, the confrontation of mortal enemies, Pierce, who once loved the truth of Los Angeles, put on the green jersey and became the soul and symbol of the green shirts. And Kobe, who has an indissoluble bond with Philadelphia, put on the purple and gold jersey to compete for new honors for this giant team that is fully qualified to call itself the strongest team in history.

The leaders on both sides faced any opponent, they were quick swords, crazy plundering, and played an amazing performance. The Suns followed closely behind, quietly breaking their own season-opening winning streak.

The Cavaliers have emerged as another surprising team in the East, with a winning streak so far this season, with LeBron and Moremca staying undefeated after coming together. With the second starting point and the ball-holding attack point, LeBron's shoulders have been shared a lot, and now his firepower is even more amazing, with an average of 30+7+7 per game, which is not far from the famous quasi-triple-double season of Master Joe.

In addition, some of the biggest teams in previous seasons. They are beginning to experience their own inevitable decline.

The Pistons, Spurs, Mavericks and other teams have all been affected by aging and blood turnover this season. Especially the Pistons, after sending away Billups, the backbone of the backcourt, both offensive and defensive ends have declined significantly.

And the Nuggets, who got Billups, played a wonderful performance. Under the tandem of the old and spicy traditional point guards, the Nuggets' birds and beasts spread their wings and soared into the sky, playing a dazzling and rapid offensive and defensive coordination. Under the open offensive system, Carmelo Anthony has also ushered in a new career peak, and he does not need to think too much. Just keep doing what you do best – being a pure scorer – and that's enough.

The person who was hurt the most in this deal was undoubtedly the former son of Philadelphia, Alan Iverson.

As a bargaining chip in trading Billups, Iverson came to the Pistons. For the first time in his career, his average points per game fell below 20, and his playing time, rebounds, assists, and steals all hit career lows. Even the already criticized hit rate will fall again, and the overall hit rate will exceed 41 percent.

In Detroit's once-steel jungle, Iverson lost himself. I can't find a suitable offensive and defensive routine, and I can't find my own positioning. How many times has he been on the pitch without the ball in his hands, looking around blankly, not knowing what he should do. to help the team win.

Is Iverson's story, the story of an ordinary person with a height of 183 centimeters, desperately winning the MVP and scoring title in the NBA, a terrifying basketball hall full of people, is this the end of it?

Meanwhile. Iverson's old club, the Philadelphia 76ers, who once brought him numerous accolades, has truly risen.

In two weeks. In the first week, Chen Mu won the best of the week in the East, and the 76ers won all of them.

In the second week, although Chen Mu did not play much time in the last two games, the data was not amazing enough, and the Eastern Weekly Best was taken away by LeBron, who averaged close to 35+10+5 per game, but the 76ers still maintained a strong streak and continued to win.

And the 76ers' away defeat of the Spurs in the second week became a classic battle in the opening stage of the season. For the fans, the game was not scorching enough and lacked excitement. But for ball critics, the meaning of this game is too profound.

The 76ers, Celtics, and Cavaliers went hand in hand, making many fans shout that the era of the West being strong and the East being weak is about to pass. In the foreseeable future, the Celtics can maintain a strong run for at least two to three seasons, and LeBron and Chen Mu will also stay in their parent teams to continue to struggle. There are at least three teams in the East that can play an impressive record in the regular season every year.

And in the corner that no one noticed, the Western team, which has been compared to the 76ers countless times in the past few years, is considered one of the leaders of the new generation of Young Guards, and is likely to bloom in the next few years, and also quietly climbed to the third place in the West.

Because of the sudden rise of the 76ers, this team has been completely compared, and under the cover of the light, it seems to be less eye-catching.

But Chen Mu and his teammates know that in a few years, this team will definitely become one of their strongest opponents in the league.

The regular season continued to burn, and in the last game of the third week, the Philadelphia 76ers, who still maintained their winning streak, ushered in the challenge of this opponent.

Wachovia Center, November 16, 2008 at 8 p.m. ET.

Portland Trail Blazers, away to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The collision of two young teams, the competition of two teams with completely different tactical styles, and the quasi-superstar contest representing the future power of the NBA, is about to kick off in front of the fans.

The Philadelphia 76ers have won 11 straight games so far, tied with the Cavaliers for first place in the East.

The Portland Trail Blazers, with nine wins and three losses so far, are third in the West, behind only the Lakers and Suns.

The game is about to start.

"They're slow-paced, they play positional offense, they shoot a lot of mid-range jumpers, we've said that before, so I'm not going to talk nonsense here."

In the last bits before kick-off, the dedicated Carlisle was still teaching the players face-to-face.

'They've been fierce this season and both Roy and Aldridge have improved. Oden has become more comfortable with the NBA, and he has begun to develop his offensive skills on the offensive end. The key is that they have good flank thickness, especially at the small forward position, and all three players have a starting level of quality. ”

Carlisle pointed to the thick stack of materials in his hand and said: "Webster, three-point accuracy, great offensive running awareness, not to be underestimated." Otlao, there have been many performances from the gods in the past two seasons, and the heart is very big at the critical moment. Batum, although he is a rookie, is too good for defensive talent, his physical fitness is top-notch, and his mid-to-long range shooting is also very accurate. This point can be rotated indefinitely, and it will be a bit troublesome to fight. ”

As he spoke, Carlisle looked back at Iguodala and Carney, Thaddeus Young and the others, and said, "You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. ”

Seeing the players nodding, Carlisle continued: "But they are not without weaknesses, first, their offensive tactics are mainly half-court attacks, and the pace of play is very slow. Although the inside speed is not a loss, but after a long time, the defense ability for fast attack is actually average. ”

"Second, Steve Blake."

Carlisle shook a dizzying document full of dense characters and icons in his hand, and said to Lowry: "Blake's ball control is very stable, the ball selection is very spicy, and the passing technique is good, but his offense is very flawed. ”

"I studied his total of 1,287 shots in the last two seasons, and he almost never scored in the three-second zone, shot less than 50 percent from the field, and was a pure perimeter passer."

Although the numbers were shocking, Chen Mu nodded when he listened to it. Because he believed that with Carlisle's character, since he said so, then he must have really studied all of Blake's shots.

"He's very low percentage of shots from the basket, and he's shooting from 3 to 16 feet, and he's shooting less than 30 percent. In the middle distance, you can completely let him go and make up for the others. ”

"The important thing is the three-point line, and he shoots more than 50 percent from beyond the three-point line, and he has a decent shooting percentage. Lowry, you have to be well entangled and not let him have an open three-point opportunity. The rest is up to him, as long as it interferes with his shot options and doesn't let him bring up the overall offensive rhythm of the Trail Blazers. ”

"Understood." Lowry nodded.

"Also, his defense is not good, you can break through more and open up the advantage from him."

On the sidelines, the referee began to remind the coaches of the players on both sides that they could play, Carlisle clapped his hands and said to the players: "In the last word, they are the first in the league in offensive rebounding and the fourth lowest in the league in defensive rebounding." Chen, Reggie, you know what to do, right......? ”

Chen Mu turned around and looked at Evans, and in the eyes of the other party, they saw a glimmer of fire called fighting spirit.

"Leave it to us, Coach."

Chen Mu got up, lightly punched his fist with Evans, gave each other an encouraging look, and said, "Reggie and I will let them know why the flowers are so red ......!" ”

It's game on!

“76ERS！ 76ERS！ 76ERS！ 76ERS！ ”

In the uniform shouts of the fans, the Philadelphia players walked into the field with their heads held high, looking at Ade and Oden opposite, Chen Mu smiled friendlyly, stretched out his hand and said, "Long time no see." ”

"Hmm."

Auden nodded and high-fived Chen Mu, while Ade was pale and didn't say a word, obviously remembering that he was really slashed by Chen Mu last season by 50 points above his head.

This time, it won't be that easy.

Watching Chen Mu and the Trail Blazers players greet each other one by one, looking very familiar, the flame of revenge in Ade's heart continued to burn.

This time, I'm improving again, Chinese boy, just wait and see......!

"Beep!"

The whistle blows, the basketball is thrown high into the air, TIP-OFF! (To be continued.) )

PS: There is nothing to say about the three-point competition and the skills competition, it is unexpected, the current format of the skills competition is indeed a test of character......

The score of the main match is really high, which is a bit outrageous......
