The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

It started in the summer of 2007 and ended in the summer of 2013.

In 6 years, the Big Three of the Green Army have still left a deep impression on people.

He ushered in a new era of giants in the NBA, objectively contributed to James' departure and the formation of the Heat's Big Three, and also allowed old fans to feel the charm of the yellow-green war again.

Whether in the last life or this life, the Big Three of the Green Army are considered successful. Especially in this life, they are even more successful than the Big Three of the Heat. After all, they won the championship that players dream of in 08, especially Lao James. , he has not felt the taste of winning until today.

Of course, the Heat's Big Three still have a chance to make up for their regrets. James' stay on the team allowed them to retain the most basic Big Three lineup. At the same time, they also retained Lewis and Ray Allen. In the free market, they finally made money. With strong support like Turiaf and old Miller, overall, their strength has increased.

The new season is their last chance. After all, James didn't leave this season because of the last year of his contract. That won't be the case tomorrow summer.

Therefore, Heat fans shouted the slogan before the start of the new season: "This is the last dance of the Heat's Big Three!"

The slogan is indeed loud and tragic, which is in line with the appetite of the American audience.

But unfortunately, three consecutive years of disastrous defeats have made it difficult for the outside world to be optimistic about them again, so this time, they ranked fifth in the championship rankings, not only unable to compare with the Knicks, but also left behind by the Spurs, Lakers and Thunder. .

It is worth mentioning that the Rockets led by the "nightclub brothers" composed of Harden and Howard are ranked sixth, even higher than the Clippers led by Paul. It seems that these two are still highly optimistic.

But it's a pity that the lineup is always the lineup. Who would have thought that the best center to pair with Harden is Capela, the pie-eating master.

The new season has undergone tremendous changes before the curtain opens. The changes of many teams have given the new season a lot to watch, but the one that gets the most attention is still the New York Knicks.

Four consecutive victories can be said to be unparalleled in any field or sport. The most frightening thing is that the Knicks are extremely young. They don't even show any signs of fatigue. Everyone is guessing. Will they continue to complete five consecutive championships and further close the distance with the Celtics?

Although the outside world generally believes that the difficulty of the Knicks' four consecutive championships has surpassed the eight consecutive championships of the Celtics - although it is only half the number, the league in ancient times and now are two different concepts.

As a simple example, the number of NBA teams was 1961 in 9, 1966 in 10, 1967 in 12, and 1968 in 14.

Therefore, when the Celtics won the championship in the 60s, they only needed to win 2-3 rounds to win the championship.

According to statistics, the Celtics only played 100 playoff games in eight consecutive championships, an average of only a dozen games per year, which is incomparable to the current number.

Not to mention the strength.

However, in terms of not favoring the present over the past, the Celtics did dominate that era of basketball, so the quantity is still recognized, but the gold content is slightly lower.

So if the Knicks want to compete for the first consecutive championship in history, they still have a lot to do.

But no one thinks that the Knicks will compete for that thing. Looking at it now, it is just to make themselves unhappy. After all, with the current fierce competition in the league, it is difficult to win consecutive championships, let alone a dynasty. The Knicks can achieve four consecutive championships. It's considered invincible.

But everyone still has expectations. After all, Zuo Li is still young and has no solution. The Knicks lineup has no obvious shortcomings. The tactics are still ahead of the times. The coaching staff is also experienced. In addition, the market is huge and the management is not short of money. Many people can't figure out how the Knicks can lose in the new season.

However, things are unpredictable, and the Knicks will soon encounter huge challenges.

but…

not now.The strong Knicks ushered in the new preseason in October.

7 wins in 7 battles.

Both the Celtics and Thunder were defeated by the Knicks.

This is still when Zuoli, Curry and other main players average 15 minutes per game.

The Knicks mainly let new players like Carter, Iguodala, and Adams fully play. On the one hand, they can find their form, and on the other hand, they can integrate into the team as soon as possible.

The effect is very good.

Whether it's Adams, who just entered the league, or Iguodala and Carter, they are all very adapted to the Knicks' style of play, especially Iguodala, who is basically plug-and-play, not only perfectly replacing Battier in the team His mobility and individual defense capabilities have taken the Knicks' perimeter defense to a new level.

After seven games, the Knicks have given those contenders a break because they see no chance of beating the Knicks.

There are even some organizations that have made outrageous odds such as "How many games will the Knicks lose in the new season?" and "Will they win 75 games?"

Popovich even said in front of the media: "The goal for the new season is to win against the Knicks."

Although the person who said this was Bobo, the credibility of this statement plummeted. After all, poisonous milk before the game was not a problem for him at all.

But who knows, Popovich is sincere.

The Spurs have not made any major changes this season, and there are almost no reinforcements. The only change may be that the GDP is one year older. As for progress, it all depends on the players' own evolution. For the Knicks, who beat themselves in the finals last season, he I really can't think of any good solution.

At the beginning, O'Neal could recruit players like Battelle to serve as human shields, but Zuo Li... he couldn't think of any player who could defend him.

Looking at the relaxed and carefree appearance of the Knicks in the preseason, Popovich's heart collapsed.

Sometimes he even wonders pessimistically, is there really a team that can win five consecutive championships?

Being able to drive Popovich, who has always refused to admit defeat, into a rage shows how much pressure the Knicks put on the league today.

Some media have even described the Knicks as something like a white terror, describing the entire league as being shrouded in the shadow of the Knicks.

Of course, many people think this is too exaggerated. After all, even the Bulls back then would not make people feel desperate, and there were many teams that beat them, so many people laughed and said they were too exaggerated.

"Do you think the Knicks can win 82 games?"

However, hearing is believing and seeing is believing. Whether the Knicks are capable or not will naturally need to be tested in the regular season.

So without further ado, let’s start the new season directly!

The new season will officially kick off on October 2013, 10, New York time. A total of three games are scheduled on this day, namely the Magic's away game against the Pacers, the Heat's away game against the Knicks, and the Clippers' away game against the Lakers.

Among them, the game between the defending champion Knicks and the Heat is the highlight of the day. The Knicks will also receive last season's championship trophy in this game.

There are 14 games on the second day, and the new season has completely kicked off.
