Xie Hou returned to the camp, and the Pacers' lineup was just complete. Tom Thibodeau could finally test the lineup, and there were constant competitions every day.

After a few days of contact, Xie Hou discovered that the Pacers' lineup this season may be the best after 2007.

There are mature shooters and solid inside depth.

On the back line, there is himself, Ray Allen, Tony Douglas, A.J Price and Grevis Vasquez;

There are many people on the wing, including Ron Artest, Andre Kirilenko, Nicholas Batum, and Omi Casby.

There is really no shortage of insiders, Jeff Foster, O'Neal Jr., O'Neal Big Big, McRoberts and a rookie Dexter Pittman who basically doesn't have much time.

Compared with last season, the Pacers lost meritorious defender Theo Papalucas, retained most of the championship fire, introduced many elite soldiers and also made some achievements in the draft. The progress in the second grade is gratifying.

Xie Hou was in trouble instead.

Last season, the Pacers lacked people. In order to allow himself to play in the inside at any time, to improve his cover and pick-and-roll quality, making high-position hand-hand tactics a conventional tactic, gaining weight to 110 kilograms in one breath.

Now there is no shortage of people in the interior, and his weight is still the same.

He was about to run to the age of 31, and continuing to maintain his mammoth-like body shape is not conducive to his health.

Xie Hou discussed with the coaching staff and, with a safe idea, let Xie Hou remain the same.

There are more people playing basketball, but compared with last season, Pittman and O'Neal, the inside line are actually only added, and the people are still the same.

Foster, O'Neal Jr. and Kirie can't control their injuries, and maybe one day they will have to fill in the inside again.

Although Xie Hou had concerns, the coaching staff analyzed it correctly and he agreed.

So Thibodeau began testing the starting lineup.

After several days of testing, only Xie Hou and Lei Allen were able to lock in the starting lineup.

The competition between Artest and Batum made the coaching staff very worried. One is a meritorious veteran and the other is a potential new star. It is not appropriate for anyone to play as a substitute.

Batum's overall combat power may have surpassed Artest, but the latter's experience and tacit understanding with several other main players are incomparable to the French.

The second is the inside line, no one is particularly outstanding.

The two O'Neal, Kirirenko and McRoberts each have their own advantages.

When no one can beat the game, Thibodeau can only start without fixed inside.

During the training camp, Xie Hou's weight dropped from 110 kg to 108 kg.

He keeps this weight into the new season.

It seems that he lost 4 kilograms, but for him who is 30 years old, his current weight is still too heavy.

His trainers believe that he should not weigh more than 102 kg.

An additional 16 kilograms of burden will cause serious wear and consumption to his body.

Xie Hou always looks like "I understand the truth, but I just have to walk the most difficult road."

In the preseason, there is only one game that is worth paying attention to.

That's the game between the Pacers and the Houston Reds.

As long as it is a preseason, the NBA will find ways to get them together to play the court. The gimmick of the derby battle has been sold for many years, but fans still buy it.

The Reds signed Celtics All-Star forward Paul Pierce this summer, which also brought some hope to this team that made it to the playoffs even if it was a victory.

Originally, every year, I checked in and watched the circle of friends with "I'll come, I see you, I'm swept away". Now they want to imagine the semi-finals.

If there is an extra All-Star. If you can't play in the semi-finals, wouldn't Pierce be in vain?

In the preseason match against the Red Team, Thibodu specially let the Sharks appear, which made Chinese fans feel their youth.

Once upon a time, the Yaosha battle excited many people. Now one is struggling in the first round of the west, the other is wandering and has no place to live.

In that quarter, the two attacked each other.

Yao Zhuo, who was still in his prime, used his skills to beat the sharks to helplessness.

In the first five minutes of the shark's physical strength, Xie Hou fed him the ball many times. What he lost was not only his physical strength, but also his explosive power at his peak.

The shark, who was about to dunk with two or three people hanging from the ball under the basket, was dead.

Nowadays, Sharks' offense under the basket is more skillful. When dealing with Yao Zhuo, he will try every means to bounce the little giant's body away and then use the only remaining power in his body to dunk.

With this move, he scored 6 points, far inferior to Yao's 24 points.

The Pacers, with a more powerful lineup, finally defeated the Reds.

Xie Hou only played for 20 minutes and obtained the data of triple-double.

"If that is your only reinforcement, I hope you will continue the first round of the tour." Xie Hou said heartily as he hugged Yao Yong.

Yao Yun stared at Ray Allen and Shark introduced by the Pacers...

"Didn't you say you can't recruit people?"

"I am so frank, these two people may not necessarily be as powerful as Pierce in combination." Xie Hou is not disrespectful to Junzi Lei and Shark, this is a fact.

Pierce is still at the All-Star level, Ray Allen has only three-pointers left, and the Sharks can only play a good goal for five minutes.

Pacers are still strong in their positions, but they are far behind the Bulls in the same region, and are also far behind Megatron Quartz's alien "aircraft carrier".

In the remaining preseason games, the Pacers did not let the main players play more.

Thibodeau seriously investigates the marginal people.

The most helpless thing about him is that he dares to use new players in garbage time. He is really at the critical moment of life and death, but he wishes that the main players can play the whole audience.

It looks enlightened, but it is actually blocked, lacks flexibility and courage.

After that, the Pacers set out to prepare for the opening match.

Their opponent in the opener was the Cleveland Cavaliers in the same district.

The summer just ended, one of the most influential free market year in history, the Cavaliers retained Wade.

Wade is indeed the person among the 2003 generation who has the least reason to leave the team.

They have good grades and if they devote themselves to practicing, they will not have a chance to compete for the championship.

But when James and others built the aircraft carrier, other teams of the same era looked too shabby.

When Xie Hou saw Wade, his first sentence was: "Why didn't you get on the aircraft carrier with LeBron?"

Wade ridiculed: "I am different from him, I have a successful career."

"What kind of world is it? People who don't even have a champion say that they have a successful career?" Xie Hou mocked.

What puzzled Wade the most was why Xie Hou did not get on the aircraft carrier.

He knew the inside story, and Xie Hou almost formed the most terrifying team ever with James and the others.

If Xie Hou is also on the aircraft carrier, other teams really don’t have to play.

Wade asked himself, would he refuse if James wanted to join forces with him?

He is not sure if he can withstand the temptation of creating the best team in history and stay in Cleveland.

Xie Hou rejected James for some incomprehensible reasons.

After that, two people who did not board the aircraft carrier played a game happily.

It makes sense that Wade chose to stay. The Cavaliers are competitive enough. If their imaginary enemies are not the Bulls and the Clippers, it seems that the future is really promising.

A tough battle, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers with 4 points.

Xie Hou played for 39 minutes and opened the 2010-2011 season with a triple-double.

"Arthur, what are your goals in the new season?"

"Doesn't you have to say?" Xie Hou's momentum made people think he was going to say something bold, "Of course, he tried his best to enter the finals and died gloriously in front of the aircraft carrier!"

Fans who have watched Xie Hou since 2004 will be surprised by his answer.

He is an overconfident person. If he doesn't even have confidence in sinking an aircraft carrier, what about other teams?

On the other hand, it was also the opening game, with the Clippers fighting the Lakers.

It was a game that attracted the attention of the whole country.

The Clippers' starting lineup is - Take a deep breath first: Westbrook, Anthony, James, Griffin, and Bosh.

They unexpectedly fought the Lakers.

Westbrook is not so suitable for James as a guard. He needs a lot of ball rights and his shooting is unstable, so he can't find resonance with James.

Anthony, however, plug-and-play. He was ravaged by Brown for two years in his early years. He has developed the good habit of not being greedy for the ball. In his first game for the Clippers, he relied on the skills that were standard for the superstar, which was the skill of receiving and throwing. He respected Griffin, Bosh, Westbrook and James, and used his athletic ability to fight the aliens to death.

Even if Kobe scored 39 points and made fans shout "The Lakers lost but the boss didn't lose", it is hard to hide the fact that he was exposed to 14 points after the hard battle.

The Clippers scored 119 points, and the five starters took over 94 points.

The 2009 No. 1 pick, Griffin, who was reimbursed at the beginning of last season, brought a shocking impact.

With 27 points, 17 rebounds and 2 blocks, the light he burst out took away the eyes of other big shots in the same team.

After the game, James repeatedly praised him: "He is the younger king!"

"What is really worth reflecting is that the tacit understanding of this team may be less than 10%. They played and ran in, and everyone was adapting to each other. LBJ only scored 19 points, Cameron took no more than 20 shots, and Chris Bosh seemed to have no presence at all... It was such a team. Facing the defending champion who was waiting for the battle, they used the dog walking method to let the Lakers run for three and a half quarters. In the last five minutes, they suddenly exerted their strength, exerting their talents to the extreme, and burying the biggest enemy in the West in one fell swoop!"

"Please note that this is their first game. They don't have a tacit understanding and no cooperation, and they can't even play the simplest tactic well."

"They only use their talents to get the defending champion."

"There is only one question surrounding this team now: can they achieve 80 wins in the regular season?"

“Or, is there a team that can make them lose?”
