The 2010-11 season kicked off at the end of October.

This season is an unusual season in the eyes of fans, and the gathering of the Heat's Big Three makes everything seem a little different.

This is a shocking new force. The rise of this strength makes all teams in the league feel threatened. This threat is more than that of the Los Angeles Lakers who took Howard into Warcraft, and the Celtics who introduced Sir Jr. O'Neal Jr., but the defending champion Knicks is not very favored.

As predicted by ESPN's new season forecast, the Heat have the highest probability of winning the championship, with 22%, and the Los Angeles Lakers are 17%, the third is the Celtics, with a probability of winning the championship is 155%, while the fourth is the Spurs, with a 11%, and the fifth is the Knicks, with a probability of winning the championship is only 6%.

This seems to be unfair to the Knicks, but who made the Knicks' signings in the summer so bad?

Because of this, the league did not even give basic respect to the Knicks.

In the opening game, the Heat played against the Celtics, the Lakers played against the Spurs, and the Knicks played against the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls are one of the new emerging forces. The four major starters composed of Ross, Rollden, Boozer and Noah, plus Brewer, Asik, Watson and others, their strength cannot be underestimated, but they are just a youth army after all, and they cannot match the Knicks' defending champion, but that's how the league arranges it.

The Knicks were indignant, and the Knicks fans also scolded the league for this. Of course, the one who scolded the most was Donny Walsh.

Zhou Mubai just smiled at this. He went all the way last season, except when he was in the Lakers, when he was in the Knicks, he was not despised after he came to the Chinese team, but he was also the same after he was in the NBA rookie season, and he also won the championship in the World Championships, so he won the MVP.

After a thousand years of long years, he had long understood that what others think is their business, and doing their own thing is the most important thing.

And... many people are not optimistic about the Knicks because they suspect that the Knicks’ summer signing is not good enough, but is it really not good?

In Zhou Mubai's opinion, the Knicks' lineup is not only not bad, but also quite good, so good that he has to consider when choosing a starter.

Garlinari, Jamison, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Martin, Tony Allen, Channing Fry, Korver, Wilson Chandler, Yao Ming, these people can arrange two starting lineups at random, and it is difficult to arrange them anyway.

D'Antoni originally wanted to arrange the starting lineup last season, but Zhou Mubai provided a new lineup, which was to put Kevin Martin and Jamison in the rotation lineup, so as to ensure the vitality of the rotation lineup.

D'Antoni agreed. After the discussion within the team, both Jamison and Kevin Martin agreed, so a new starting lineup was created.

The game against the Bulls is to try it out with such a new lineup.

The Bulls' starting points are Rose, Rollden, Boozer, Bogans, and Noah;

The Knicks' starting lineup was a little confused by Van Gundy.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: Zhou Mubai, Tony Allen, Korver, Garlinari and Tyson Chandler.

"I can understand part of the Knicks' intentions. I think D'Antoni wants to give the rotation lineup more firepower, but Tony Allen is just a defensive player. Is he really worth starting? Also, although Korver's replacement of Jamison has enhanced his range, his independent offense has become weaker. In other words, in this starting lineup, except for Zhou Mubai's ability to attack independently, others are basically those who are waiting for the ball. Is such a starting lineup really suitable?"

Van Gundy Jr. made a comment on this.

In fact, D'Antoni also asked this question, Zhou Mubai gave some explanation, D'Antoni accepted the explanation, but was still nervous that all this was shown in the game.

Chandler and Noah jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Bulls were the first to get the opportunity to attack. The Bulls had Rosway's core, but the ball was actually a bit dispersed, and the team played very well, and the ball was constantly transmitted.

Ross passed the ball to Noah, and Noah's receiver handed the ball to Bogans. Bogans broke through and passed it back to Bozer who was cut. Bozer wanted to make a layup at the basket, but Chandler returned to defense quickly. He quickly passed it to Roll and waited. Roll Deng wanted to break through, but Garlinari just kept up.

It was amazing. The Bulls played very well and passed the ball very quickly. They broke through the ball, handed the pick-and-roll, cut the ball quickly, and passed it quickly, but the Knicks defended it!

Van Gundy and Mike Bryn exchanged glances and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The Knicks' success last season was not based on defense, but on offense, but in the first round just now, the Knicks' defense seemed... very powerful?

With just one more Tony Allen, the Knicks' defense has made it soar?

In fact, this is true.

The Bulls couldn't find the opportunity and gave the ball to Ross single. Ross played very hard against Tony Allen's defense and could only withdraw and make a strong shot, which allowed Tony Allen to interfere. Chandler took the ball down.

Zhou Mubai slowly passed the half-time, looking at Tony Allen with appreciation.

Zhou Mubai has excellent defense himself. With Tony Allen, the defensive strength on the outside is more than one level stronger.

Previously, Zhou Mubai and Kevin Martin's defense were only at the upper and middle level, and there was no such chemical reaction at all. When defending with Tony Allen, this chemical reaction came out.

First of all, Tony Allen will be a defensive vanguard. For example, when dealing with the Bulls, he can defend Ross, causing trouble for Ross. Zhou Mubai can be a defensive sweeper. With Zhou Mubai's defensive ability and footsteps, his coverage ability is too wide!

In the past, Zhou Mubai could only guard the opponent's offensive arrows by himself, and could not be a defensive sweeper. This was actually a waste of his talent. Now with Tony Allen, he has finally released him. This is why the Knicks' defense suddenly improved.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Mubai and Chandler played pick-and-roll again, and the Bulls blocked the middle and let Korver go empty.

As one of the best shooters in the league, Korver can't let go. Zhou Mubai's pass Korver grasped the first one!

Zhou Mubai smiled when he saw this.

If ordinary people want to improve the Knicks, they will not only improve from the offensive end. They may think that the Knicks' offense is overflowing, but there are areas where defense can be strengthened. According to their ideas, they naturally need to strengthen the defense construction.

But Zhou Mubai is coming to Tony Allen, Korver and others not just to exert force on the defensive end. On the contrary, Tony Allen is working on the defensive end, while Korver, Channing Fry, Yao Ming and others are actually trying to play a greater role on the offensive end.
