Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 742 Derek, you finally got out

Who can stop the Knicks' winning streak?

Sorry, this topic seems familiar. As early as the beginning of last season, the Knicks' 10-game winning streak sparked people's discussion. The final result was that the Knicks won a 16-game winning streak, creating the best start in NBA history.

This season, this topic seems to have come a bit early. After all, it is only four consecutive victories. You must know that in the entire NBA, except for the Knicks, there are still two teams that have also started the season undefeated. They are the Lakers and the Bulls. Why?

Let’s just talk about the Knicks.

In addition to the reason why Barkley is the Knicks' biggest fan, the main reason is that the Knicks won these four games too easily.

Even the Celtics, who had high hopes before the game, lost by 16 points and were suppressed by the Knicks throughout the game. In the end, Zuo Li was forced to wait for the Knicks to start and played 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, which was considered the end.

Zuo Li clocked out three consecutive games and three quarters, setting a record.

But what's the point? This only shows that the Knicks are becoming more and more terrifying.

Take this game as an example. The Knicks rotated 11 players, and all of them scored. Two of them scored more than 20 points, and six scored in double figures.

Zuo Li scored 28 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks with a 70% shooting rate. The steady Randolph scored his first 20 points of the season, while Curry scored 16 points with 4 of 8 three-pointers.

There are also 6 assists.

The Knicks trident is slowly forming. These three people have taken the Knicks' top three points in a single game many times.

But what scares the Knicks is not only the scoring ability of these three people, but also the fact that everyone is a soldier.

David Lee had 12 points and 6 rebounds, not to mention Ke Liu's 10 points, Danny Green had 7 points, Dragic had 8 points and 4 assists, Belinelli had 6 points, Battier had 6 points, and even Anderson had 4 points and 4 assists.

Rebounds, 3 blocks, and...

"The Knicks bench has the most firepower in the league, which is one of the reasons why they can win so easily. Whether they are a starter or a substitute, they can make a steady contribution once they come on the court. This is a very scary thing. It makes the opponent's defense

I don’t even know how to proceed.” After the game, CCTV commentator Yu Jia analyzed.

The Knicks' tactics have also been widely discussed. ESPN believes that what supports the Knicks team is their new offensive and defensive tactics this season!

"Zuo Li frequently moved up, leaving the inside to Zach Randolph, which increased Randolph's living space. We seem to have forgotten that two years ago, Randolph was still an inside line in 2010. He was the highest in this era.

One of the best power forwards, he returned to the inside to release his scoring ability. At the same time, he ran around Zuo Li from the outside. This stimulated Zuo Li's support ability for the first time. Only then did we know Zuo Li's ability to threaten the ball.

Just as good.”

"The most terrifying thing is the Knicks' outside shooting ability. In these games, the Knicks averaged more than twice as many three-pointers as their opponents per game. The Knicks' shooters have shown their talents..."

"Perhaps, the Knicks will reach an incredible height this season."

ESPN analyzed it in an evening show.

This is why everyone is calculating who can compete with the Knicks. From the current point of view, after the favorites Heat and Celtics were hammered in the East, no one seems to be able to stop the Knicks, unless the Knicks

Suddenly disconnected and overturned on the weak team.

What? You mean magic?

Forget it, forget it, Howard almost had the words "Brother wants to leave the team" written on his face. Not to mention the many conflicts within the team, the lineup is also broken. Besides, he couldn't win in the previous two seasons, and this season is even worse.

It’s hard to bear…

Therefore, people generally believe that the only teams in the Western Conference that can stop the Knicks are the Lakers, the Spurs, who continue to grow stronger this season with 3 wins and 1 loss, and the Mavericks, the king of the regular season. The Thunder are also good, and don’t forget the World Championships.

Kill Adu in all directions.

So after counting for a long time, people sighed again, it is still difficult to change when the east is weak and the west is strong.

However, there is one team that people subconsciously ignore, and that is the opponent the Knicks faced back-to-back on November 6, the Chicago Bulls.

With both starting with four consecutive wins, the Bulls and Knicks are currently tied for first place in the Eastern Conference. The next game will determine the current No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference.

It stands to reason that the Bulls, who are also undefeated, will definitely be considered the biggest opponent to stop the Knicks' winning streak, but they are not mentioned much this time.

Don't be surprised, the Bulls were underestimated at the beginning of this season.

Originally, in the summer, it was revealed that the Bulls, who also had huge salary space, were expected to win one of the four players from the 2003 generation, especially James, who was revealed to be interested in teaming up with Rose.

It's just a pity that as the Heat formed the Big Three and Anthony renewed his contract with the Nuggets, the Bulls did not win these four "big fish."

However, the Bulls are not without gains. They have acquired Boozer, one of the Jazz's two evil players, for 80 million in five years. This can be regarded as the Bulls' biggest gain in the summer free market.

In addition, the acquisition of pitcher Korver for 15 million in three years, the acquisition of Brewer for 12.5 million in three years, and the trade of C.J. Watson from the Warriors can be regarded as some reinforcements.

So this season's Bulls have assembled a lineup of center Noah, power forward Boozer, small forward Luol Deng, shooting guard Korver, and point guard Rose.

From the perspective of the lineup, they are relatively well-known and have good players, but compared with other teams, especially the Celtics and the Big Three Heat, which are full of stars, as well as the established strong teams Lakers, Spurs, and Mavericks,

Still too tender.

So at the beginning of the season, the Bulls were predicted to be at best in the first round of the playoffs.

Although they also maintained an undefeated start this time, unlike the Knicks who easily swept the two major teams, they defeated teams like the Pistons, Trail Blazers, Warriors, and Hawks that looked average, and were incomparable to the Knicks.

So even though the Knicks are back-to-back, the Bulls are still considered unable to pose a threat to the Knicks.

However, only Zuo Li understood how unreliable these predictions were.

This bull is the pinnacle of Rose's era.

Although the others looked average, they couldn't stop Rose from rising to prominence this season.

On October 30, in the second game of the season, Rose tied his career high with 39 points and led the team to a 101-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons.

Two days later, Rose contributed 13 assists, helping Luol Deng score a career-high 40 points and defeat the Portland Trail Blazers. On November 2, he scored high points in two consecutive games and stood on the top of the list.

After taking the top spot in the scoring list, Rose played 36 minutes, scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists on 6-of-11 shooting, ultimately helping the Bulls defeat the Hawks with a score of 110-98.

The roses of Windy City are in full bloom this season.

According to history, this season the Bulls will counterattack all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and then be killed by the Heat's Big Three who have regained their sense of touch. Rose also missed the best opportunity to enter the finals.

So whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, the Bulls are one of the Knicks' biggest opponents.

Therefore, the Knicks are fully prepared for this back-to-back with the Bulls.

On November 6, Zuo Li and Ross met again, and they had lunch together at noon.

"Derek, you finally got out."
