The Knicks' China game was an unprecedented success.

On October 8, the preseason game between the Knicks and Rockets at the BJ Wukesong Basketball Arena attracted countless Chinese fans.

This game not only broke the domestic viewing record of the NBA China game in one fell swoop, but also attracted simultaneous broadcasts in 75 countries around the world.

What's even more amazing is that due to the time difference, it was already early in the morning when it was broadcast in the United States, but there were still about 10 million fans watching the live broadcast of this preseason game, which shows the popularity of the Knicks in the United States.

The league is almost smiling, which means that their China strategy has not been affected by the lack of Chinese players, and the effect of supporting Zuoli has been amazingly successful.

After this China game, even Xiao Hua, who had never supported Zuo Li, was speechless. After all, the real money was enough to stop everyone's mouths. If he raises objections now, he has ulterior motives.

It’s not just the league that’s surprised, other Knicks players are also surprised.

This is because Curry came to China with Zuo Li and his relationship with Zuo Li has been growing up. It is understandable that he received applause and cheers when he appeared on the stage.

But unexpectedly, other people also received a lot of likes. Klay Thompson even saw die-hard fans holding his hand-painted signs!

Even rookie Green, who just joined the Knicks, had fans shouting his name, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the Knicks players, so on the game field, they all changed their soy sauce attitude and gave back to the fans with their hottest performance.

At the same time, they also made up their mind to learn more Chinese. Look at Curry. Just because he can speak a few words in Chinese, he has become the most popular player except Zuo Li, and his popularity in China is rising like a rocket.

Zuo Li was not surprised by this. Little did he know that when Dayao entered the NBA, he made the entire Rockets team popular. Ordinary players like Hayes and Hyde may not be able to leave their names in the NBA in their lifetime, but many fans in China

He also speaks like a treasure trove, this is the influence of a superstar.

Zuo Li is now just as popular as Dayao, so almost everyone around him has been affected to varying degrees.

For example, O'mei, when she meets Chinese fans on the street, she always calls her sister-in-law.

All this made Harden cry when he just led the team independently. When he appeared on the field, few people knew him. There were even comments that the Rockets' aesthetics after the Yao-Mai era were getting worse and worse.

However, Harden played well in this game. When Harden came to the Rockets, he completely let go of his hands and feet. The ball rights that he couldn't get in the Thunder now belong to him. This also allowed the league to see a new ball-handling core.

Rising slowly.

However, the Rockets are not strong enough at this time. Harden alone is definitely not enough to shake the Knicks. Although Zuo Li only played 24 minutes, playing one period in each half, it is definitely enough to deal with the Rockets.

Of course, the Knicks' performance was not good, especially when the left winger came off the court. The Knicks still exposed their lack of internal strength and insufficient defensive intensity.

Of course, this is all a hidden trick by the Knicks. During the game, D'Antoni will only test tactics when he is standing on the left side of the court. At other times, he will play position. Obviously, many media have begun to be fooled.

On the 10th, the Knicks won another game, and the China game came to a successful conclusion.

When leaving, Zuo Li was very moved by the reluctant appearance of the Chinese fans at the airport, and it also allowed the entire Knicks team to see Zuo Li's terrifying popularity.

Chasing Dream Green regrets very much. If he had known Zuo Li was so good, he should have hugged his thigh tightly. Unlike now, he was thrown aside by the team and only played 8 minutes in two games.

…

The Knicks returned to New York to continue their preseason tour. After two consecutive victories, the Knicks encountered resistance. They won 3 games and lost 3 games in the next 6 games, and finally ended up with 5 wins and 3 losses.

The media and industry insiders also concluded through analysis that the Knicks are losing their dominance.

The reason is also very simple. Randolph's departure has caused the Knicks' defense to be unstable, with more internal loopholes and a decline in dominance. Although Lou Williams and Nash performed well, defense is also a big problem.

"The Knicks originally relied on strong defense to limit their opponents and seize opportunities to play transition offense, making opponents unable to compete on both offense and defense. But now, the lack of Randolph has caused the Knicks' defensive level to decline, which has also caused their offensive efficiency to decrease.

!”

"Visually, the Knicks are still the top four teams in the Eastern Conference this season, but it will be very difficult to continue to win the championship."

ESPN's analysis is not sure of the truth, but it is also not optimistic that the Knicks can win four consecutive championships.

Of course, this is also consistent with the guesses of most fans. Three consecutive championships are enough to be awesome. If you don't look back, you won't be able to continue your dominance. So this season, the Knicks are destined to accompany you.

Of course, with the experience of being slapped in the face by the Knicks in previous seasons, no one dares to stand up and say that the Knicks just can't win the championship in the new season. They are all waiting for the opening game of the new season.

Yes, the Knicks are participating in the opening game again. This is the fourth consecutive year that the Knicks have appeared in the opening game.

It stands to reason that the opening game should be a meeting between the two opponents from last season's finals. It has the attributes of revenge and grudge. It will be full of topics and is also a good start for the new season.

But this year, as a participant in last season's finals and the runner-up last season, the Oklahoma City Thunder missed the opening game, and their replacement as the Knicks' opponent was everyone's old friend-the Miami Heat!

"The league knows the opening game!"

Although the Heat were only the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the popularity of this opening game is definitely much higher than that of playing against the Thunder. With one week left, the tickets are sold out.

The reason is also very simple. These two teams have been in love with each other for two seasons, and the Knicks eliminated the Heat for two consecutive years, and they were all swept. They met 8 times in the regular season, and the Heat only won once. This is amazing.

’s 16-1 record, there is no need to elaborate on the grudges.

Not only that, the Knicks at this time are the same devil as the Pistons. Many people hope to see the Heat be like the princess back then, going through hardships and finally reaching the top.

People say they sympathize with the weak, so this season, the Heat's public opinion has improved a lot.

Moreover, the Heat are also the favorites to win the championship this season. They showed a very good state with 8-0 in the preseason. The Lakers next door are 4-4, so the Heat have officially overtaken the championship list to first place.

Looking at it this way, the Heat are running smoothly and have strong strength. If they can successfully win the Knicks in the opening game, then this season will really take off.
