September 30th, Beijing time, the NBA preseason is about to start, so what happened in the league today that deserves our attention?
First of all, according to the latest news from NBA authoritative name Shams Charania, the NBA Council today officially approved the coaching challenge as the only way to check the replay when there is a throw-in in the last 2 minutes of the game. This means that the referee has greater authority in the new season, and there will be no official automatic replay of the ball in the last 2 minutes of the game. The official reason for this is to make the game smoother and minimize the suspension of the game as much as possible. But since it has decided to do this, should the NBA give the coach one more challenge per game?
At the same time, the league also introduced another new rule. Today NBA spokesman Mike Buss publicly stated that players who missed the game because they did not get vaccinated and violated local vaccination regulations will not receive The corresponding salary. It is reported that New York and San Francisco have requirements for players to be vaccinated at home games. This involves the Nets, Knicks and Warriors. So the situation between Irving and Wiggins is now quite dangerous. .
Now that we talked about Irving, then we have to say another news. According to a report by the authoritative American media "Sports Illustrated" reporter Chris Mannix, netball star Kyrie Irving is currently trading at very low value in the market. The reporter said: "I have asked a lot of teams just to find out their views on the value of Irving's trade. I didn't expect the result to be almost zero."
Irving is only 29 years old this year , He just played the highlight moment of his career last season, averaging 26.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, and was selected to 180 clubs.From the perspective of player strength alone, Irving should be regarded as the top five point guard in the league. His transaction value is still very high. The reason why he has fallen to this point is mainly due to his character.
The last news comes from the Lakers. Today head coach Vogel revealed his plans and expectations for the team's new season in an interview. Facing the media, he said: "We want to be the best fast break team in the NBA. Our players have excellent speed, especially Westbrook. When he starts, you can clearly feel him. How different is the speed of the team, it’s so fast that people’s eyes are blurred."
In fact, the famous domestic basketball commentator Su Qun teacher has recently analyzed the Lakers' new season. Playing style, he thinks Vogel has changed his idea of rushing for the championship. After Davis joined the Lakers, this team has always been mainly defensive, and their offensive ability has never been top-notch, even below the league's mid-level. Take the data from last season as an example. The Lakers averaged 109.5 points per game, ranking 22nd in the league; offensive efficiency was 109.8, ranking 24th in the league; averaging 106.8 points per game, the second best in the league. Yes, second only to the Knicks; defensive efficiency 106.8, is the best team in the league.
But even so, they were still eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, which shows that there is a great problem with their thinking, and defense alone cannot win a championship. It is precisely because of this that in the new season, Vogel will mention Davis to the fifth position and James to the fourth position, so that the height of the entire team is slightly reduced, and the speed and shooting ability are improved. To strengthen their offense.
