Overnight, the Knicks became the underdog again.

ESPN updated the strength rankings overnight. The Miami Heat, known as the "Cosmic Team" by a group of die-hard fans, once again topped the list, and the defending champion Knicks were once again squeezed to second place.

The people of Miami seem to have returned to the summer last year, hot and exciting, and the championship is waving to them again!

All of this seems like just yesterday. Heat die-hard fans can't help but recall that last summer, James decided to go live on TV and the Big Three announced in a coquettish way, not one, not two, but five, six, seven or eight... and then they spent time

After the initial running-in period, they counterattacked all the way, from eighth in the Eastern Conference to third in the Eastern Conference, and finally successfully entered the playoffs and even reached the Eastern Conference Finals!

Then……

Ahem...

Although there is no more, but it doesn't matter, it is all in the past. Now, they have Anthony, James, Anthony Galverde and Bosh, the four elites of the 2003 golden generation. Everyone who can play is on our team.

How can others compete with us?

"Heat championship!"

Online, Heat fans shouted this sentence again.

Of course, all this is still the pride of Heat fans. Just like last season, no one knows what will happen without playing. This time the media also learned the lesson and did not make as much hype as last season, nor did they criticize the Knicks.

There are many comments, but basically all media ranks the Knicks second in the new season, so in fact everyone understands that the Knicks are still not favored by others.

The general manager of the Hornets confirmed the deal, and the general manager of the Lakers also excitedly said that they will have the most awesome backcourt in the world.

after all……

As Christmas is approaching, the NBA celebrates the holiday early...

The Lakers temporarily lost the conditions to take off, Kobe's final peak was wasted for another year, and Paul lost the chance to win the championship.

The reason is that the Hornets are currently in the bankruptcy and reorganization stage and are under the custody of the league, so the league has the right to veto the deal.

"All fools know what they want to do. They just want to flatter them!" The Zen Master expressed his feelings with a fine of 25,000 US dollars.

The Clippers took off overnight, going from obscurity to a new force in the league.

Many fans are actually very angry. After all, if this approach can be successful, then other stars and teams will also imitate it. After all, you are not the only one who can form a team, and no one can form a team.

On December 19, one week before the start of the new season, the Hornets, Lakers and Rockets discussed a big deal. The Hornets sent Paul to the Lakers, the Lakers traded Gasol to the Rockets, and the Hornets got Odom and Kevin Martin.

, Scola and a first-round pick (2012).

And if everyone does this, the damage to the league will be visible to the naked eye. After all, the stars have gathered in one team. What about other teams that have lost their stars? How can attendance be guaranteed? What’s more, there is a high probability that they will still go to the same team.

If the market is big, then small clubs will not be able to survive.

No one thinks Griffin can win the championship as the core.

But compared with the original deal, this deal is undoubtedly a lose-lose.

This is the first time in history that the league has vetoed a trade, and it is also the first time that two stars have been refused to share the same team.

Then there's the style of play.

But then, the alliance told everyone: It doesn't matter, I will take action, not everyone can hold a group!

And other fans are not idle either, joining the fighting group one after another...

The fans exclaimed, "Wolf is coming!"

The league's No. 1 point guard Kobe adds the league's No. 1 point guard Paul, plus Bynum and Artest. Although Gasol is lost, this lineup is enough for people to imagine, and the Lakers can continue to strengthen the inside.

.

According to modern basketball theory, Paul and Kobe are in line with the construction of a big ball-handling core, and Kobe's offense at the second position can very well help Paul control the court.

In addition to offense, the defense is also very strong. The two are both regulars in the best defensive team. The two together have definitely been the most terrifying backcourt combination in the past few seasons.

The league's move this time caused a lot of controversy, especially when Anthony joined the Heat, but you didn't let Kobe and Paul join forces...

Furthermore, Paul can follow Kobe in the triangle offense. Don’t forget that the triangle offense is the offensive system that has won the most championships in history. When Jordan and Kobe had a tactical axis like Pippen and Gasol, they immediately became more powerful. This is exactly what happened.

The charm of the triangle offense. When Kobe and O'Neal are two strong singles players together, they can win three consecutive championships. This also shows that the triangle offense is the best at coordinating the use of superstars. Therefore, whether it is today's big ball-handling core

In terms of play style and three-point offense, the combination of Paul and Kobe is very consistent. There is nothing incompatible between them. Their offensive characteristics are completely complementary.

This time, he was really angry.

Of course, not being favored is not being favored, and the Heat should still be scolded. After all, this kind of group behavior is really too much.

So if the Lakers can finally reach this deal, they hope to return to the Finals again!

However, before Lakers fans could be happy, NBA officials stood up and vetoed the deal...

The Lakers protested, but it was useless. In the end, Paul, who had no choice but to choose the next best thing, joined the Los Angeles rival Clippers and formed an internal and external partner with Griffin.

The most important thing is that Kobe and Paul are a perfect match. First of all, their personalities. They are both strict with their teammates, full of desire for victory, and both are almost paranoid perfectionists.

The fans' war also began. Lakers fans launched attacks on the league and the Heat online, and the two sides fought fiercely.

As soon as the news came out, the screen was filled with question marks...

Later, photos of Celtics general manager Ainge opening champagne to celebrate after the Lakers trade fell through brought the Celtics into the fray, followed by the Cavaliers, Raptors, and Nuggets, the three fans who had lost their core, and they began to support the Lakers.

, spitting hot fire at each other.

In such a situation, there is a team where everyone from the players to the fans is very quiet.

When the new season started in two days, people were surprised to find that...the Knicks have been so quiet during this period that people have forgotten that they are the defending champion.

Moreover, during these days of intense trading, the Knicks did not make any moves. The team has been training since the team was assembled. No one was interviewed, and no one came out to put forward any opinions on these two transactions. Even you

It's not that easy to find Zuo Li.

Fans can't help but ask...

What on earth are the Knicks doing? What on earth are Zuo Li doing?

To answer this question, of course we need to move the timeline back to two months ago, when the tour ended, the lockout continued, and the new season was still unknown.
