Nba: The Opening Sign To The Finals Tiebreaker

In order to keep Zhou Yuan, the Knicks management is under tremendous pressure.

After a series of complicated operations, Zhou Yuan's request was finally met.

Curry, Klay Thompson, Leonard are all here.

In fact, Grunwald is not optimistic about these three players.

Let's talk about Curry first.

Although he has a good dribble, super projection.

But his body is too thin, and his ability to fight is doubtful.

In particular, Curry is still seriously injured.

Whether it will be reduced to a glass man is still unknown.

The Knicks management naturally has to put a big question mark.

As for a 3D player like Clay.

In the cognition of the Knicks management, it is simply a weakened version of Ariza.

In terms of physical talent, Clay is a bit behind Ariza.

Even if the three-pointer is more accurate than Ariza, it may not be as accurate as a top shooter, so there is really no advantage.

As for Leonard, let alone.

The current Xiaoka has good defensive ability and a very active defensive attitude.

But his offensive ability with the ball is too urgent, and his shooting level is average.

The Knicks management believes that he is a weakened version of Tony Allen.

The upper limit is basically Tony Allen.

But the Knicks management didn't count.

Zhou Yuan is the ancestor, he is one nine!

Whoever Zhou Yuan wants, the Knicks management will obediently get it.

Even the "337" players who are not optimistic should be offered as treasures.

Who let them fall into Zhou Yuan's eyes?

The price of these three transactions is that the Knicks sent almost all the draft picks.

Shumpert and Billups were also sent.

As for Griffin and Ariza, although they are still in the team, they basically have to play the role of substitutes.

If nothing else, the starting lineup will be Zhou Yuan, Curry, Klay Thompson, Leonard, Stoudemire.

Zhou Yuan will try his best to integrate his understanding of small ball tactics with D'Antoni's running and bombing tactics.

Change D'Antoni's inherent coaching philosophy.

After all, this lineup is the Death Five.

There is still a big difference between small ball and running and bombing.

In terms of substitutes, Beverly, Trevor Ariza, Tracy McGrady, Griffin, and Gallinari all look luxurious.

The only thing that affects the upper limit of the Knicks is the state of Clay and Leonard.

In the previous life, these two people played mediocre in their rookie season.

Zhou Yuan didn't ask them to reach their peak state as soon as they come up, that's impossible.

But Zhou Yuan will train with them more.

According to the characteristics of two people, let them increase the amount of training.

For example, let Clay practice lower body strength, improve defensive ability, and at the same time practice three-pointers crazily.

As for the useless things like holding the ball, let him stop training.

Reduce unnecessary training, and increase training crazily for specific items, and the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.

For Leonard, Zhou Yuan didn't ask him to practice holding the ball.

Defense, three-point shooting and mid-range shooting are what he urgently needs to improve.

To put it bluntly, these two people will mainly play in 3D.

There is Zhou Yuan, the absolute ball-handling point, and Curry, the second ball-handling point.

The two of them defend and catch and shoot and it's over.

Run and bomb tactics are completely non-defensive.

But the small ball tactics are a combination of offense and defense.

On the offensive end, through a large number of pick-and-rolls, air cuts, running positions, and passing the ball, find opportunities to score easily.

The defensive end uses crazy rotations to aggressively press the outside ball holder.

Use the excellent ability to switch defenses without the ball and misplaced defenses to suppress opponents.

It can be said that there are great requirements on both offensive and defensive ends.

Similar to the Warriors' death five, the Knicks also have two guards and three forwards.

Curry and Clay are guards, Zhou Yuan, Leonard and Stoudemire are forwards.

The overall defensive ability of this lineup is super strong, the movement speed is fast, and the offensive firepower is fierce.

But there is also a disadvantage, and that is the fifth position.

If the fifth position is too short and the defensive ability is not good.

If you encounter a super powerful center forward, you may be blown up.

This requires Stoudemire to improve his defensive ability.

As long as the upper-middle level can be maintained, this Knicks team is invincible.

The galaxy battleship has just been formed, and it still needs to be developed.

At the beginning, Zhou Yuan will definitely have to take the lead.

But when the Splash Brothers and Leonard grow up, they will sweep the league.

Three consecutive championships and five consecutive championships are not a problem.

In any case, the current Knicks lineup is indeed stronger than before.

For the league's 30 teams, Zhou Yuan's decision is their biggest concern.

Previously, 30 teams took turns to bomb Rich Paul, ringing up his phone every day, urging him to come over.

After procrastinating until now, Zhou Yuan wants to show his cards.

He reached a two-year, $35 million maximum salary contract with the Knicks.

There is a player option for the second year.

With Zhou Yuan's current status and qualifications, the maximum salary he can get is $17.5 million.

Signing a two-year contract is the most suitable choice for Zhou Yuan.

In the second year, if Zhou Yuan is not satisfied with the team, he can leave at any time.

He doesn't care about the annual salary at all now.

More than 10 million US dollars, Zhou Yuan made a few random investments, or made a fortune in the stock and financial market, and it was more than that.

After Zhou Yuan reached a verbal agreement with the Knicks management.

He plans to sign the contract the next day and make an official announcement.

To Zhou Yuan's surprise!

This verbal agreement has just been reached, less than 10 minutes.

Wo Shen announced that Zhou Yuan will renew his contract with the Knicks for $35 million over two years.

This startled Zhou Yuan.

Because according to Grunwald.

When Zhou Yuan was negotiating the contract with him, there was no one around him, only Grunwald himself.

How did this news get out?

The inner ghost is actually me?

Wo Shen's dominance in reporting NBA news is even more terrifying than Jordan and O'Neal.

It can be said that he rode the dust and beat all other reporters.

His eyeliner and network resources are pervasive.

Even when Grunwald was the only one negotiating the contract with Zhou Yuan, he could grasp the top secret in an instant.

Zhou Yuan really believed that even Grunwald, the general manager, might have received favor fees from Woshen.

Of course, Zhou Yuan didn't ask too many questions.

He doesn't care about Wo Shen, what kind of eyeliner and connections he has in the Knicks.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Zhou Yuan is good at playing basketball, and Wo Shen is good at obtaining information.

Each has its own job.

In the arena, Zhou Yuan is practicing three-pointers with Curry and Thompson.

These two people will be super marksmen at the historical level.

It's just that wretched development is still needed.

Zhou Yuan will often practice with them, which can greatly improve their three-point shooting ability.

At that time, I can hardly imagine how fierce the Knicks' firepower will be.

In this era, the three-point shot is not too popular.

Three super marksmen of historical level, concentrated in one team, can definitely shoot through the entire league!

At the end of July, Curry just got married.

Ayesha is married for the first time, and she is majestic and heroic, and it is the time when she is full of ambition.

Although he was traded to the New York Knicks by the team, he was forced to leave Golden State.

But Curry has no regrets.

He joined a defending champion team.

Not only is it closer to the championship, but it also has higher exposure.

At that time, there will be no shortage of endorsement contracts.

Wealthy and famous, and maybe win a championship......

What is there to be sad about?

This guy from Akron, born in the same hospital as James.

Although the start is far less dazzling than James.

But with hard work, he is destined to become a first-class superstar!

Three-person competition for three-point shooting.

5 points, 5 balls for each point, full score 25 points.

Zhou Yuan made 25 of 25 shots, Curry made 20 of 25 shots and Clay made 19 of 25 shots.

The shooting skills of the two of them are naturally much worse than Zhou Yuan's.

Even the peak Curry is not as good as the current Zhou Yuan.

But the two shot this hit rate, and the three-point ability can be seen.

"Hi! Zhou Yuan, you are my idol. I have always wanted to imitate you and shoot three-pointers. Then my father told me that I am different from you."

"Because I don't have your height and explosive power, your physical talent makes it easier for you to shoot three-pointers."

"But I can only speed up the shot speed and minimize the opponent's interference with my shooting. Who makes my physical talent a bit poor!" Curry sighed.

"Fortunately, I am on the same team as you now. With you attracting firepower, I will get a lot of open shot opportunities. The three of us team up, and the possibility of scoring 30+ three-pointers in a certain game cannot be ruled out."

Curry is a funny guy, very good at maneuvering, and talks a lot.

The Buddha was more bored and looked very taciturn.

But off the court life, two people are completely different.

Curry is extremely coquettish on the court, but he is a good husband off the court.

Unlike Zhou Yuan who has a lot of girlfriends, he is a good man like James.

Perhaps Akron's hospital has the magic to produce a large number of such accomplished, unfocused men.

Thompson was different.

He looks very shy and honest, but he is the little prince of the nightclub off the court, not inferior to Harden, the king of picking up girls!

"Zhou Yuan, lead us to the championship! In the opening game of next season's regular season, I will be jealous as I watch you get the championship ring, hahaha!" Curry joked.

Zhou Yuan spread his hands: "Don't be jealous, after a year, you will be in the same place and get a championship ring."

Curry smiled: "I heard that you are also very good at investing? Take me with you when you have time! You know, I just got married and will have a baby soon. I need to earn some money for milk powder."

Zhou Yuan patted Curry on the shoulder: "Don't worry, brother, you will have 1.4 if you mix with me."

In the previous life, the 2011-2012 season was suspended due to the issue of the collective bargaining agreement.

But the world did not shut down, and the regular season continued as usual.

On October 28, the Knicks will host the Dallas Mavericks.

The league always likes to engage in some gimmicks to attract attention.

Especially in special moments like the opening game and the Christmas game.

Last season, the two teams fought each other in the finals, and the situation was like fire and water.

In order to increase the heat, the opening game of the regular season will still let these two old enemies confront each other.

Not only that, the opening game also includes Magic VS Celtics, Heat VS Bulls, Lakers VS Hornets, Thunder VS Grizzlies and so on.

Basically, in last year's playoffs, the teams that had played a round with real knives and guns were directly at full speed.

The Knicks defeated the Mavericks at home and won the championship. The Mavericks are already sad enough.

In the opening game, the Mavericks will also play away against the Knicks, watching them wear championship rings.

It's simply murder!

In the 2011-2012 season NBA regular season, the first game of the Knicks is about to start.

New season, new lineup!

Before the game started, Zhou Yuan and other Knicks champions last season received the championship ring together.

For other former champion members who were traded away, the team will send the championship ring to them. .
