The transaction deadline ends and the lineups of each team are basically determined.

At this time, you will find that the "terror" mentioned before the start of the season is not as terrifying at all.

Because after this lasted for more than half a season of trading, the three teams, Celtics, Wizards and Mavericks, are not inferior to those of the Lakers at all.

There are also Spurs, Pistons, Suns, and Nuggets of the same level.

This is not an epic difficulty, it is a legendary level!

But it is understandable.

After all, the Lakers have only completed a wave of dynasties between 1999 and 2002, if there is another wave in 2004 and 2007.

That is to let them experience the "dark" days of Jordan's era!

Dynasty is very difficult, and the Lakers said... it's very excited!

Just like playing a game, the more difficult it is, the more you want to pass the level, because the sense of accomplishment after passing the level is unparalleled!

The Lakers' first opponent after the All-Star game is the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers just traded Odom and were full of momentum in the playoffs.

But at the beginning, they suffered a severe blow.

They were 86-116, tragically killed by the Lakers!

It turns out that determining the performance of a team is not quantity but quality.

Milicic is fine, Bagnani plays as a center forward and is not even a baby in front of O'Neal.

Their matchup on the field gives people the feeling of being a full-level training and then running back to the novice village to kill those gray wolves.

Once you raise your hand, the experience bar will not increase.

Let’s talk about Odom.

He had been playing power forwards in the Heat before, but suddenly he was asked to play small forwards, which made him very uncomfortable.

He played for 30 minutes in the whole game, but made 4 of 14 shots, only 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, and made 4 mistakes.

If he cannot adjust in time, his value will plummet after playing this season.

However, compared with the Warriors, the Cavaliers are pretty good.

The Warriors' first opponent after the All-Star Game was the Wizards.

66 to 116, they lost 50 points directly...

Durant played even more autistic in the face of Artest, scoring only 12 points from 6 of 19 shots.

Before the core strength was completely raised, what he feared most was that defenders like Atai could fight against him and doubt his life.

Think about the game in history when James was defended by Artest to 0 assists, and you will know how terrifying Artest is when he becomes serious.

In addition, the Warriors replaced Jamison away, and the Warriors lost other offensive strength points, and the Wizards' high-intensity assisted defense also made Durant particularly uncomfortable.

But these are the costs of growth.

The Warriors and Nelson Sr.'s expectations for him are far from being a scorer without a ball.

Let’s talk about the Wizards, Hamilton changed to Artest and his strength was directly raised to the next level.

Artest has also worked with Yao and Mac in one season in history, averaging 3.3 rebounds and 1.52 steals per game, and helped the team reach the Western Conference semi-finals for the first time, and lost in seven games with the Lakers.

At that time, Atai was already 30 years old, and for him who was dependent on his body, he had already begun to decline.

But now he is not 28 years old, and he is at his peak age.

Of course, these are all known to the outside world.

What the outside world doesn’t know is that after joining the Wizards, Artest and Yao Mai, especially Yao Ming, get along with each other with unprecedented good things!

His interaction with Yao Ming before the game can even make people imagine such a scene:

Am I an evil guy?

Not! I am Yao Ming’s little cutie!!

Although the Warriors have limited strength, fans can feel that the Wizards after getting Artest is a big plus and have the strength to challenge the Celtics in the East!

Of course, this situation will be what the Western Conference powerhouses, including the Lakers, hope to see.

Because according to this situation, no matter who comes out of the east ends up, the skin is the lightest.

Teams that have been traded will be the focus of fans' attention.

Then the fans found that these teams have one thing in common, and they play easily!

The Mavericks are also one of the most popular teams, and their opponent is the Suns.

Compared to the Wizards, this is a real tough battle.

However, the process of the competition is different from what many people imagine.

As it turns out, Kidd is still the player with his own system.

The stronger the teammate, the more contributions he can make.

Under his organization, the Mavericks played clearly and had a particularly organized approach.

Not only the offensive end, but also the defensive end, he and Da Ben have one inside and one outside, which has brought about a qualitative change in the Mavericks' defense.

Nowitzki can finally let go of his offensive end again.

He made 14 of 20 shots in the game and scored 30 points efficiently.

Under his leadership, the Mavericks led the Suns from the beginning and eventually defeated the Suns easily.

Although the Suns were somewhat affected by previous rumors, they were not in their best condition.

But the most direct feeling of fans after watching this game is: this Mavericks team is so strong!

Then the second feeling is: Kobe's deal was done too well!

At this time, the powerful people in the eastern region were also happy.

Compared with them, the West is only much more tragic.

To break out of the siege from the west, peeling off the skin is also the most basic!

Let’s talk about Kobe.

The Clippers' All-Star opponent after the game is the Pistons.

This game was particularly fierce.

Although Kobe and Gasol played the innate tacit understanding when they played in the All-Star Game.

But Harrington encountered a similar situation to Odom: his performance as a starting small forward was not good.

Moreover, although the Pistons have left the big loan, they are still very strong.

The Clippers have been lagging behind since the opening.

However, it was in this unfavorable situation that fans saw Kobe who was completely different from the past.

In the past, Kobe must have played the ball to the end in this situation. He doesn’t care about how many of you double-teams. If he doesn’t send the ball into the basket, I will lose!

But in this game, Kobe obviously played according to an established strategy:

The Pistons used Prince to defend him one-on-one, and he played singles;

But once the Pistons get into double-team, he passes the ball out and looks for a chance to score without the ball.

At first glance, this style of playing seems to be very normal!

But you have to know that this is Kobe!

For Kobe, this is unprecedented.

Many fans realized that Kobe had posted a long article before, including the words he said at the press conference, were not like it.

Kobe on the 24th and Kobe on the 8th are indeed very different!!

Then the fans also found that Kobe's performance against Prince was much better than last season.

Especially with his footsteps, there was a little Olajuwon's shadow in a trance.

Kobe has been improving himself every summer, and the past summer is no exception.

He and Olajuwon learned their steps, and combined with the puppy pace he had figured out himself, the offensive flexibility was greatly improved.

It’s just that the Mavericks’ performance was quite difficult before, and the fans didn’t notice it too much!

Under his leadership, the Clippers were not chaotic even though they were behind, and they kept the possibility of a comeback.

It was not until the decisive moment of the fourth quarter that Kobe started his personal offensive mode.

And he played very targetedly, just hit your inside line!

When the Mavericks played against the Lakers, O'Neal was not there, the Lakers could not stop Kobe from scoring.
