For Jordan and Gan Guoyang, the preseason is just a child's play, not even considered an appetizer.
But for a rookie like Yao Ming, the preseason is particularly important, as it's his first step in adapting to the NBA game environment.
In the first game against the Suns, Yao Ming did not get the starting opportunity, as Tomjanovich chose to start Ewing.
The Glory Team has three players drafted into the league in 1984, two in 1985, and one in 1989.
It can be said they are the league's top antique shop, with the most veterans, raising concerns about stamina and injury issues.
Apart from Van Exel, the Glory Team couldn't find a player around 30 years old in their prime during the summer; they're either too old or too young.
And this is not the 2000 Trail Blazers, where veterans were numerous, but at least around 35, old but not overly so.
