As time passed day by day, some minor repairs and repairs continued, which made the strength of the powerful from all walks of life strengthen a lot on the original basis.

The scene of heroes fighting for hegemony in the new season is becoming more and more exciting.

The opening time of the team training camp this year is September 18, and the NBA officially announced that the training camp will start on September 24, which is about a week earlier than before.

The upcoming 2016~17 season preseason games will officially start on October 2nd and end on October 22nd. The Trail Blazers will have 7 preseason games this year.

The opponents in the 7 games were strong and weak, including two Chinese battles, the venues were Kyoto and Modu, and the opponents were the Thunder and the Lakers.

For example, the Cavaliers and Warriors, known as the "old enemies" of the Blazers, can't get them in the warm-up stage, they must wait until the regular season stage, which is a real hard dish.

October 1, 9:00 am.

Portland Rose Garden Arena.

On the day before the preseason game, all the players of the Trail Blazers still maintained a positive state of serious preparation.

In the 2016~2017 season, the new season roster of the Trail Blazers is as follows:

Point guard: Starter Damian Lillard, backup Patrick Beverley

Shooting guard: Starter Will Barton, backups Connette Lee, Vince Carter, rookie Patrick McCaw

Small forwards: Starters Nicolas Batum, Anthony Morrow

Power Forward: Starter Nikola Jokic, backups Yi Jianlian, Montrezl Harrell and LaMarcus Aldridge recovering from injury

Center: Starting Wang Zelin, substitute Ivica Zubac.

Coupled with the veteran Richard Jefferson who reached a one-year salary extension with the team during the offseason, the Trail Blazers' 15-man roster for the new season is already full.

Just as the Trail Blazers were busy training, the major media seized the right time and announced the player rankings for the new season on the first day of October.

The first is the most authoritative ESPN player rankings in the hearts of all meters:

No. 10 is Paul George;

The 9th place is Chris Paul;

The 8th place is James Harden;

The seventh place is Anthony Davis;

The sixth place is Russell Westbrook;

The fifth place is Kawhi Leonard;

The fourth place is Kevin Durant;

The third place is Stephen Curry;

The second place is LeBron James;

The first place is...Wang Zelin of the Trail Blazers!

This is already the third consecutive year that Wang Zelin has ranked first in ESPN's new season player rankings. Even ESPN's most demanding media experts have no choice but to surrender in the face of absolute strength.

The rest of the major media, such as Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report, Fox, Slam Dunk and many other authoritative media, the bottom 8 of the top 10 are uneven. For example, Lillard, he entered the ranking list of the bleachers The top ten, but the top two are basically unchanged, the second James, the eldest Wang Zelin.

Regal Villas in Los Angeles.

A certain number 24, who did not want to be named, was furious on the spot when he saw the list. He never expected that, as the leader of the Lakers, he would not be able to enter the top 10 of the new season player rankings of major media.

Even Paul went in, why can't I get in?

Depend on!

After venting, he decided to adjust the alarm clock overnight.

In the early morning of tomorrow, he plans to advance another hour and a half, from two and a half years... Ahem, it's 2:30, to start devil training.

The unanimous ranking of the top position by the major media, the bleachers immediately expressed their high recognition, and the official cover headline is:

"The age of the king is still going on!"

Subsequently, ESPN updated the top five players in the five positions of the new season.

The top five point guards are Curry, Lillard, Paul, Westbrook, and Wall.

Irving and Lowry unfortunately lost the selection.

Lowry is very open-minded, after all, he is a representative of late bloomers, with an excellent mentality. Owen, on the other hand, didn't feel very comfortable, and immediately expressed his doubts about the list on Twitter.

But in this time and space, Irving did not win the championship in 2016, nor did he shoot the three-pointer in the finals that infinitely raised his historical status. At present, in the eyes of many experts, he is just a cricket under the wings of the great King James.

In the Cavaliers, many people even think that he is not even the second leader, and the position in the team is still behind Cousins.

Therefore, not many people cared about Owen's thoughts, but Owen's actions attracted ridicule and ridicule from many people.

The top five shooting guards are Harden, Thompson, Kobe, DeRozan, Bill.

There is no doubt that when Kobe's name appeared on this list, not only did not make Black Mamba feel happy, but it seemed to add fuel to the fire, further igniting his inner anger.

Not only Kobe, but also 60E behind him felt extremely angry just like his idol.

Are you kidding me? It's just that Volute can't make it into the top 10 active players. How can he even give up the throne of the number one active shooting guard?

When they took a closer look, they suddenly realized.

It turned out to be ESPN, that's fine, no wonder the dark volute!

The ranking of the five active power forwards is James, Durant, Leonard, George and Anthony.

In contrast, the controversy caused by the ranking of small forwards is not as big as that of point guards and shooting guards, and the public is more recognized.

The five active forwards are Davis, Aldridge, Love, Green, Griffin, plus Millsap.

Since Aldridge is almost reimbursed for the season, and probably will not be released until the end of the regular season or even the first round of the playoffs, an extra Millsap is added to the ranking of power forwards.

As we all know, there are four Heisei three heroes, so there are six of the top five active forwards, is it reasonable? !

The five active centers are Wang Zelin, Cousins, Drummond, Towns, and Howard.

The last ranking can be said to be the most authoritative and recognized by fans, and there is almost no suspense.

It's just that many fans of the older generation are sighing in their hearts. The man who used to be able to replace James in terms of transaction value can only barely come to the bottom.

If Howard can't achieve satisfactory results after changing to a new team in the new season, it is estimated that next season, he will completely bid farewell to the ranks of the top five centers in the league.

Even so, Howard is more on his laurels.

There is nothing surprising about this Wang Zelin. Since leaving Aerospace City, the era belonging to Master Huo has passed~www.novelbuddy.com~ The happy basketball in the past is no longer there, and the peak spark that used to dominate the basket is gone forever.

As for whether Howard can complete self-salvation like the original time and space, it is unknown.

Because of Wang Zelin's arrival, the NBA's development trajectory has become more and more unexpected. No one can say what the future trend of the league will be.

Even if someone told him today that Durant will join forces with James in a few years, he would not be too surprised.

Instead of caring about others, it is better to focus on tomorrow's preseason game.

On October 2, the Portland Trail Blazers will travel to Vancouver to play the preseason opener against the Toronto Raptors.

As a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, the Raptors are still strong, and they are barely qualified as a whetstone for the new season.
