Chapter 480 Towards the Triple Crown
Zhao Ke guessed right. After the last preseason game, the Charlotte Bobcats had another five-game losing streak.
The fact that this tail is received is quite surprising to people from allied countries!
A total of nine games in the preseason, the Eagles only won once, and the record of 1 win and 8 losses is the lowest in the league.
Now, the unscrupulous media who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic are in high spirits again.
It is nonsense to say that the Charlotte Bobcats are defending the title, and it is nonsense to achieve a dynasty.
Is the NBA dynasty so easy?
Since the establishment of the league, in the past 59 years, there are only three teams that have truly established a dynasty. They are:
The Minneapolis Lakers won three consecutive championships from 1952 to 1954.
1959-1966 Eight consecutive Boston Celtics.
1991-1993 and 1996-1998 two three-peat Chicago Bulls.
Since the fall of the Bull Dynasty, the NBA has entered the Warring States Period. No team has won three consecutive championships. The winning team no longer depends on Feng Shui.
In 1999, the San Antonio Spurs won the championship.
In 2000 the Los Angeles Lakers were crowned.
In 2001, the Philadelphia 76ers won the championship thrillingly.
From 2002 to 2003, the Big Apple City ruled the world. It had a chance to become a dynasty, but it was wiped out because of a wine bottle...
In 2004, the San Antonio Spurs made a comeback and won the championship again.
In the second year, it looked menacing and seemed to have a chance to defend the title, but met the darkest Lynx in history, and the dream of the dynasty was shattered.
In the past two years, the Charlotte Bobcats have been in the limelight and have won two consecutive championships.
However, they don't love themselves and seem to be dying?
First of all, the starting power forward who ranked sixth in the league in scoring was lost in the offseason, and the starting lineup was damaged.
Then, they lost the best sixth man and two strong substitutes who are fully capable of starting.
And the newly added four rookies:
The most promising one announced that he was reimbursed for the season without playing a minute.
The remaining three are not outstanding in talent, technology, and appearance. No matter how you look at it, they don’t look like they can play well. Just look at this preseason game, they were all beaten!
In other words, Michael Krypton Eyes Jordan finally opened his eyes this time?
Look at the last "strong support" Dikembe Mutombo. He doesn't remember his birthday, but he is at least 40 years old. He is in the same jersey as him, injured or dead, and almost all the rest are retired.
Is this old guy still able to eat?
As a result, the Charlotte Bobcats' bench lineup has fallen from the strongest and fastest in the league last season to almost the bottom this season, and there is no suitable replacement for the starting power forward.
This lineup really saves money.
Defending?
Still hehe!
Take a look at the Charlotte Bobcats' payroll this season:
Center: Dwight Howard (430 million), Massing Gortat (110 million), Dikembe Mutombo (221 million)
Power Forward: Chris Anderson (180 million), Paul Millsap (90)
Small forwards: Gerald Wallace (850 million), Matt Barnes (300 million)
Shooting guard: Zhao Ke (1200 million), Brandon Roy (295 million), PJ Tucker (97)
Point guards: Chris Paul (467 million), Gary Payton (230 million), Kyle Lowry (135 million)
The total salary of the Charlotte Bobcats is 4605 million US dollars, and the salary cap for this season is 5313.5 million US dollars.
According to the regulations of the NBA, in the first two years of expansion of the new army into the league, the salary cap is lower than that of the old team.
In their first year, their salary cap was two-thirds that of other teams.
In the second year, it rose to three-quarters of the other teams.
From the third year, they will have the same salary cap as other teams.
This year is the third season since Charlotte became an army, and their salary cap this season has finally returned to normal.
In this way, they don't have to pay the luxury tax!
There is still $500 million in salary space from the salary cap. As a defending champion, this is too, a bit shabby!
Take a look at the salary totals of other teams!
The New York Knicks, the most inhumane, have reached a new high in salary this season, reaching $1 million because of David West's big contract.
The Detroit Pistons, which ranked second last year, continued to sit in second place with $8600 million.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who dominated the arms race this summer, ranked third with $8230 million.
The Los Angeles Lakers are fourth with $7700 million.
The Portland Trail Blazers are close behind with $7500 million.
In fact, the total salary of most teams in the league is controlled at more than 6000 million, such as:
Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers, etc.
There are only four teams under 6000 million:
The Seattle Supersonics have $5700 million, and there is no hope of rebuilding. Junzi Lei, as the cornerstone, cannot lead the team to go further.
The Toronto Raptors are worth 5100 million dollars. After Vince Carter left, they have just completed the reconstruction. With Chris Bosh as the core, there is no big contract, and the salary is too low.
Atlanta Hawks 4857 million dollars.
The Eagles are so weird, they are always rebuilding, they will never be able to choose the cornerstone of the team, and they will always be bad. They seem to be trying to match seven forwards to summon the dragon!
For such a team, their low salary can be justified.
However, the total salary of the Charlotte Bobcats is 4605 million US dollars!
Even lower than the Atlanta Hawks, is there any reason, do you want to lose face?
Since entering the NBA, they have the lowest salary in the league for the third consecutive season, and they have won the championship in the first two seasons!
Spending the money of a bad team and playing with the championship, this kind of behavior is really——
so hateful...
Therefore, the Charlotte Bobcats' near-annihilation performance in the preseason is what the other 29 teams love to see, and the worse they play, the better!
But they are doomed to be disappointed, and the failure belongs only to the preseason.
See you in the regular season!
Nov. 11, Charlotte Bobcats season opener:
Host the Indiana Pacers.
The NBA finally gave the defending champion the face of the home opening this season. Las Granik once again visited the Time Warner Center in person to present championship rings to the champion members.
After awarding the championship ring, Zhao Ke brought out a handful of Frostmourne and a dragon's wrath from the locker room.
Dwight Howard's mouth was grinning up to his ears.
Frostmourne in the left hand and Dragon's Wrath in the right.
This is a serious monster!
As the second championship flag was hoisted and hung on the dome of the Time Warner Center Arena, the Charlotte Bobcats' dynasty officially started.
Win it again.
Bring back another Larry O'Brien Cup.
The Charlotte Bobcats will become a veritable triple crown dynasty!
