Chapter 617 The Best and Worst Times!

In the previous season, starting from 14-15, the Golden State Warriors had won three championships by relying on Curry, Durant, Thompson and others, but in this lifetime, the Golden State Warriors have not even won a championship. The management of the State Warriors is also a little anxious.

After taking over the team, the owner of the Golden State Warriors has made great efforts to improve the team. He introduced Jerry West, Steve Kerr and others, and even built a data system to improve the team. In the first two years, he spent a lot of money to introduce Durant. In this way, they still did not win the championship.

This time, the olive branch handed over by James, the Golden State Warriors were ecstatic, gritted their teeth and shouldered the super luxury tax, and built a galaxy warship to challenge the Knicks. They vowed to win this battle!
Gatsby smiled as he watched the Golden State Warriors gamble like crazy. After all, the super warriors were successfully formed. The inertia of history is really great, but Gatsby was not worried. On the contrary, he was very excited. The greater the challenge, the greater the challenge he The more exciting it feels, if he wins the championship every year, not to mention the boring fans, even he will feel boring.

On July [-]th, an article by Bill Simmons of ESPN called "It was the best of times, it was also the worst of times" was widely circulated.

"...We didn't know that the extremely common, even trivial, event of an undrafted pick being selected by the Knicks to join the NBA would have such a big impact on the entire league a few years later. This is a major change that has not been seen in the NBA in 60 years!

...Since Gatsby joined it in the 09-10 season, we have gone back and savored all the changes:

The three-pointer has changed from cautious use to today's crazy operation;
The rhythm of the ball game has changed from slow to the current rapid cornering without braking;
It is an honor for one person to guard one city, and he is not ashamed at all to hold a group.

...all because of Gatsby!
Gatsby brought changes to the league. He led the three-point trend, cooperated with D'Antoni to play the highest level of running and bombing in the league, and won almost all championships (except for the first year to the Knicks, the first years to the Lakers), forcing other superstars in the league to join forces:
Chicago Bulls Wade, Rose, Jeremy Lin and others;

Clippers James, Paul, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and others;

Spurs Duncan, Howard, Tony Parker, Ginobili and others;

Golden State Warriors Curry, Barnes, Randolph and others;

Thunder Durant, Westbrook, Bosh, Ibaka and others.

This is still the first stage of grouping, but this stage cannot disintegrate Gatsby's empire. When Gatsby returned to his Knicks, everyone remembered the fear of being dominated by the Knicks super dynasty. The Old Ones have returned!
As a result, it led to the second large-scale star grouping in the league. This time the scale is appalling. This is unheard of in NBA history, and it has never been seen in any other league. The fourth star, the top point guard, the top power forward, and the top three-point shooter have come together to fight against the No.1 in the league!
It's epic!

It's as if all the heroes in the world gathered together to fight against the big devil who ruled the world, rushing towards the indestructible devil dynasty!
…There are many strong teams in the history of the NBA, the Celtics won eight consecutive championships, the Lakers and Celtics ruled for a decade, then the Chicago Dynasty, and then the super OK combination, but no one can For example, Gatsby's side caused everyone's common hatred (or despair, this description would be more accurate), and they gathered together at all costs.

They endured a decrease in salary (joining with a salary cut), less ball rights (too many super giants, and had to compromise with each other), and damage to their personal reputation (teaming is the biggest original sin). Even though teaming has so many side effects, they still Resolutely gathered together!
I have read some Chinese epics, and there is a sentence in it that is very suitable to describe this situation-the world has suffered for a long time!
well!For these stars, they have been suffering for a long time!
……

For these stars, these are the worst times;

But for us fans, this is the best era!

The Great World of Glory is impacting us, and every one of us is caught up in it, and every wave of this monstrous wave is caused by Gatsby. His arrival ultimately changed the appearance of the entire alliance!
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times! "

Bill Simmons' article was like a bolt of lightning, splitting the heavy night, showing the epic essence of the league shrouded in darkness to all fans.

Fans have had a great feeling that something great is happening in the league before, but the lack of historical perspective makes it difficult for them to realize that this time Bill Simmons lifted the curtain, and they realized-they are in Witness a truly epic game!
They also really felt the power of Gatsby!
This is a big devil who can coerce the entire era!
A big devil who can force all opponents to seek alliances to fight against!

Compared with Gates, no magician, Larry Bird, Chamberlain, OK combination, Michael Jordan old hooligans, they are all incomparable. These people are in their respective eras, and there are many people who belong to them He is an opponent, but Gatsby has no opponent. The others can only unite to fight against him, and there is hope!
The long offseason is especially full this summer. All fans are looking forward to the start of the new season. They don't need much imagination to imagine how exciting this season will be.

However, the league doesn’t really understand the hearts of the fans. They seem to be keeping a secret. The Knicks did not play against the Golden State Warriors in the preseason. After the start of the regular season, there was no Golden State Warriors against the Knicks at the beginning. The distance seems to be separated by a league, one in the NBA and one in the CBA, until this season's Christmas game!

Good dishes are not afraid of being late, and good dishes are not afraid of being late.

Before this game, the Knicks in the East had a record of 26 wins and 6 losses, while the Golden State Warriors had a record of 28 wins and 4 losses.

This time James is full of confidence. James is a player with a very high emotional intelligence. He has never provoked any player to the media. This time he declared to the media for the first time-this time the Golden State Warriors will definitely beat the Knicks!
He can't help but be confident!
Whoever stands next to Curry, Durant, Paul, Griffin, Redick, Barnes, and the Golden State Warriors with a bench of gangsters is a living American team. Is the Knicks strong? Strong , But compared to the Golden State Warriors, that's really nothing!
He has to be confident, not confident that he is not an American!
