Rockets fell to second level! US media announced the championship level in the new season: Warriors 3rd level and four teams share 1 level

Basketball

Van Jordan suffered a serious injury, causing the Rockets to fall to second level! Less than a month before the new season, US media "TA" announced the championship level for the new season, with the Warriors ranked third and the four teams sharing the first level.

Fifth level (reconstruction or bottom-skin): Most of the teams in the bottom-square rank are bottom-square teams like the Nets and Jazz that have been bad for many seasons, and are likely to continue to do bad for the new season, but there are two highlights worth paying attention to.

The first highlight is Jaylen Green, the Rockets former player who joined the Suns through trades in the offseason. Whether he can further realize his talent of "Shang Qiao Xia Ke" in the new season is exciting.

The second highlight is the "talent monster" Zion. After completing a significant loss in the offseason, whether he can rebound in the new season can save his career is also worth paying attention.

Fourth level (playoff level): Bucks, Raptors, Pacers, Heat, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Bucks and Celtics

Compared with the previous team, this team has certain competitiveness, and some teams even have superstars. Unfortunately, due to the depth of the lineup and injuries, the competitiveness of the new season is limited. Two of the teams worth paying attention to are the Bucks and Trail Blazers.

The Bucks have the top three-level super giant Antetokounmpo, but the lineup is poor. Even after signing a "bad price" player in the offseason, it is very likely that Antetokounmpo will not be able to retain Antetokounmpo for a long time in the new season.

In contrast, the Trail Blazers are worthy of attention, which is entirely due to the 16th pick in Yang Hansen. With this operation, the Trail Blazers are expected to become another home team in the hearts of domestic fans after the Rockets.

Third level (playoff level): Pistons, Warriors, Magic, Hawks, 76ers, Mavericks and Spurs

If the previous team only has some highlights, when entering the third level, most teams have highlights worth paying attention to, and they are even more likely to enter the championship ranks as the season progresses.

The Magic and the Hawks completed a significant improvement in the offseason, and the 76ers and the Mavericks, two teams that have suffered serious injuries, will also recover from their health in the new season.

As for the two young teams, the Pistons and the Spurs, the new season will usher in a period of growth and transformation of young players, and there is hope to become dark horses from the east and west. The Warriors are the most worthy of attention in the third level, and they are also the most underrated team in this level. Because Kumingga's contract renewal has stuck to the progress of strengthening, the Warriors have been strengthening 0 times so far.

Fortunately, the Warriors have already solved four new players, Horford, Melton, Curry and Payton Jr., and if they can successfully solve the problem of Kumingga.

As long as Curry, Butler and Dream Chasing stay healthy, the Warriors will definitely be potential champions that cannot be ignored in the new season, especially entering the playoffs.

Second level (with hope of championship): The Timberwolves, Lakers, Clippers and Rockets

Timberwolves entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, but lost important rotations in the offseason, Alexander Walker can only look forward to the growth of young players and the transformation of Edwards.

The Lakers strengthened the three new players Laravia, Ayton and Smart with zero trades, but also let Finney Smith go. At the same time, James was one year older and became a player with an expiring contract for the first time in his career.

Fortunately, the new core Doncic has achieved a significant loss and is in a career state. The Lakers are ready to rebuild a championship lineup around Doncic.

The Clippers in the same city have also completed a significant improvement in the lineup. Unfortunately, Xiaoka fell into the "yin and yang contract" incident, which made the Clippers' future confused.

The Rockets are another team that has been fully strengthened but is in misfortune. Originally, after Durant joined, the Rockets should have been one of the favorites to compete for the championship.

As a result, when the training camp was opened, Houston starting point guard Van Jordan suffered a cruciate ligament tear, causing Houston to fall to the second level. We can only look forward to Shepard and Amen's growth and transformation in the new season.

First level (Favorites in the Championship): The Thunder, Nuggets, Knicks and Cavaliers

The defending champion Thunder and the Nuggets, who have the active first player Jokic, are well deserved to become the favorites in the Championship. In comparison, the Knicks and the Cavaliers are slightly inferior.
