Chapter 3 Donny Walsh Mistakes the Knicks!

Although the Knicks performed amazingly in the first game, they were not very popular because the protagonist was the Miami Heat.

The Big Three Miami has been the topic since the summer.

The gathering of the three Heat giants was the topic of NBA all summer. It was hated by many people and criticized by many people, but it also attracted too much attention, so the first game also became the focus.

The showdown between the Heat and the Celtics is the most eye-catching of the three games, and the least attention is the Knicks and Bulls' match. Therefore, although the Knicks beat the Bulls, there are not many media reports, and most of the news reports are centered around the Heat - because the Heat lost.

The Heat lost to the Celtics.

Many people sarcasticly sarcastic Heat for this reason. Zhou Mubai had his own ideas after watching the game.

First, the Heat have great potential. Once the ball-holding problem between James and Wai is solved, the Heat's combat power will increase by at least two levels, which depends on who is willing to take a step back first;

Second, the Celtics have become stronger, and they are much stronger.

The addition of O'Neal Jr. and S. Jr. made the Celtics' inside line almost look down on the entire league, well...except for the Lakers.

Especially the combination of Sir and Garnett almost supported the Celtics' inside line.

On the defensive end, although Garnett is already a little old, his defensive experience makes up for Xiao S's shortcomings. Xiao S's powerful maneuverability makes up for Garnett's physical aging, and the two complement each other.

On the offensive end, Garnett gradually got older and could no longer support the attack from the inside. So before, the big baby Davis and Perkins were the main ones, but the ability of these two people was really not enough. If they were replaced with Xiao Si, it would be completely different, just like a tractor was replaced with a tank, which was almost a qualitative change.

On the offensive end, the Celtics have transformed into a super team with both inside and outside. It is normal that the Heat, which has just formed, cannot beat the Celtics.

D'Antoni was delighted with the progress he showed during his team's game, but became worried after watching the Heat and the Celtics' game.

"They are so strong, can we beat them? Otherwise, let's find Downey to continue recruiting superstars. I think Cameron Anthony is very good." D'Anthony asked Zhou Mubai to express his thoughts.

Zhou Mubai just smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you can dig him over, I don't care. Even if you want me to call him."

D'Anthony ran to find Donny Walsh, but soon received a reply from Donny Walsh - Anthony was not willing to come to the Knicks because he wanted to be loyal to the Nuggets.

I believe you, I was still breaking up last season, but now I have become a loyal team. After all, I just don’t want to become the second leader of the team.

D'Antoni complained deeply about this.

He also had a headache. Zhou Mubai and James are similar types of players. They are both all-around players and can play with their own systems, but many players want to play with James.

Because no matter how strong James is, he cannot really average triple-double per game, but Zhou Mubai is different. In the rookie season, he averages triple-double per game, and he is still the same as a big player. This kind of teammates are very relieved on the court, but it may not be a good thing for the players themselves. Under Zhou Mubai's light, whoever dares to guarantee that he will not be covered up all the light.

In the opening game, the Heat and Celtics won the Celtics, while the Lakers and Spurs won the game in the West.

To be honest, the strength shown by the Spurs is still so amazing. They play steadily and are not embarrassed at all when facing the Lakers, but the Lakers' strength is indeed stronger. Howard's addition is amazing to improve the Lakers.

Howard is at his peak, and his role on the offensive end is better than Bynum. The key is that his role on the defensive end is more significant.

At the beginning, people felt that Howard might not easily integrate into the Lakers' concerns, but it was not reflected in this game. Although it was only the first game, Howard received a lot of respect. In Phil Jackson's triangle offense, Howard's inside offense became the pillar of the inside.

This is fate.

In the original history, Howard joined the Lakers in the 12-13 season. At that time, the Zen master had left the Lakers. The head coach was replaced like a revolver. First, Bernie Bicksdaff, then Mike Brown, and finally Mike D'Anthony took over. None of these coaches can be good at the team's internal relationships, nor does they have a system suitable for Howard's performance, so it is normal for Howard to leave in anger later.

Howard is now without back injury and is at his peak. The Lakers' internal hidden dangers are controlled by Phil Jackson, and there is another triangle offense to support Howard's performance. From the perspective of prospects, Howard may not be unable to perform, which can be seen in the first game.

In this game against the Spurs, Howard's singles in the inside supported the Lakers' inside offense. As soon as the inside was opened, the opportunity for the outside was revealed. The Spurs' final loss began with the inside defeat.

This is not the key, the key is that the spirit shown by the Lakers in this game is completely different.

The Lakers' internal strife last season and the mental slackness have caused the Lakers' combat effectiveness to decline to a considerable extent, but this season is different. Because of the defeat of the Knicks last season, the Lakers have worked hard.

The whole spirit is different.

Experts have a high comment on this, especially Van Gundy's comment.

That's what he said.

"This game made me see the Lakers in the 2008-09 season, because the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the 2007-08 season. The Lakers in the second year showed a sense of hunger and desire for the championship. This season they were like they were that season.

I thought the Lakers this season would fall apart due to the setbacks of last season, but I was wrong. They became a better team, and Howard's joining made their ceiling higher.

Compared to Bynum, Howard threatens to be at a low post, which makes the triangle offense more powerful.

And this season, the Lakers' opponent may not be the Knicks, but the Celtics or the Heat.

The Celtics have been strengthened inside, but they are still slightly worse than the Lakers. The Heat's inside is really worse. Howard suppresses James, which gives them an advantage in the duel with the Heat.

Judging from the chemistry of today's game, no matter who breaks through the East, the Lakers have a great chance of winning.

Of course, the final analysis depends on the subsequent running-in, but I am still more optimistic about the Lakers.

As for the Knicks... Donny Walsh misled the Knicks!"
