Chapter 626 Super Lakers!

The 2019-20 season begins.

The situation in the league has changed again. The Golden State Warriors have maintained their lineup, and the Knicks have a stable lineup. The Knicks have plenty of money. For players like Green Thompson who have reached the contract period, Gatsby has given them maximum salary contracts. The team has to pay a luxury tax, but it's nothing compared to the money the Knicks earn. Who makes the Knicks the biggest ball market in the league.

The Knicks still make money when they are down, let alone when they are at their peak.

The change in the league's situation lies in the Lakers and the Thunder. The Lakers have Jokic as the core of the team. With the ambition of the Lakers, they naturally covet the championship. They have recruited Irving, George, Jimmy Butler and Anthony Davis. Rondo and others formed a super Lakers and participated in the championship competition.

Before the start of the season, experts predicted that there would be a high probability of a championship among the four teams. The Knicks with the highest probability of winning are naturally the Knicks, who have won two championships since Gatsby's return. The Knicks can once again establish a dynasty. , has become a question discussed by everyone.

Followed by the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State Warriors have maintained the lineup of last season, including James, Curry, Durant, Paul, Griffin, and Redick. They are still the favorites to win the championship.Although they lost to the Knicks last season, looking back, their strength on paper still surpasses the Knicks. Experts analyzed the reasons for the Golden State Warriors' defeat and still feel that their internal problems have not been resolved.

They believe that at the critical moment, the Golden State Warriors must determine who will play the key ball. Last season, their possession of the ball was too scattered, and they did not give full play to the role of the superstar.The Knicks are different. At the critical moment, the ball will definitely go to Gatsby. The more determined he is, the more efficient he will be.

The third is the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs have Leonard as the core, Aldridge is assisted, and there are a lot of outstanding role players trained by Popovich. Last season, the Spurs were able to play against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. By the time of the tiebreaker, they have proved their ability. Come back this season, the Spurs may not be able to break through the West.

It’s the Los Angeles Lakers again. Although the Lakers’ core Jokic is young, his core role is very important. With Irving, George, Jimmy Butler and Anthony Davis, plus Rondo and others, this is another super ball. Team, Irving plays point guard, Butler plays shooting guard, George plays small forward, Big Eyebrow plays power forward, and Jokic plays center. This lineup looks even stronger, if not for the fact that they have not proven themselves yet. So many stars can produce chemical reactions, so they are ranked fourth, but in terms of strength on paper, the Lakers are the most comprehensive team.

Think about it, the Knicks center is slightly weaker, Green is a short center, it is difficult to defend Jokic and thick eyebrows; the Spurs are not at a disadvantage on the inside, they have Aldridge and Howard, although Howard Has slipped a bit, but is still solid defensively.However, the Spurs' point guard and shooting guard are weaker, and they are all young people. Facing the Lakers, Irving and Butler may not be able to take advantage of it.

The Golden State Warriors also lose on the inside. The inside of the Golden State Warriors is Rooney and Bogut, which is enough, because they basically rarely play such a big lineup. With James and Durant on top, they generally don’t need it. But facing the Lakers lineup, it is necessary to improve the inside line.

In the 2019-20 season, the league has entered the era of Baotuan 3.0. Except for the Spurs team, the other three are one of the league's largest ball markets. Los Angeles, Golden State and the Knicks, which one is not rich and powerful?
At this time, teams without money can only swallow their anger and silently send out the team's stars, saving some capital for their future rise, and saving some draft picks.

The three teams in the Wild West are at the top, while the other teams are reduced to fish belly. In the East, the Knicks are sitting on a throne overlooking all living beings.

At the beginning of the season, the Knicks began to harvest victories. The Eastern Conference could not find an opponent. When facing the other three super teams in the Western Conference, they could win and lose each other. The others had no opponents at all. .

The Knicks couldn't find any opponents in the East. Their environment was much better than the environment of their three opponents in the West, so they always ranked first in the league in wins. The three teams in the West were fighting each other until the end of the season. At the end of the regular season, the Knicks once again ranked first in the league.

Gatsby's statistics this season are still the league's top, averaging 36 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds per game in a triple-double, tops the league in terms of statistics, but the league seems to want to disgust Gatsby, or must let the regular season The MVP was given to other stars, and the regular season MVP was given to Westbrook, which aroused criticism from expert fans.

Because Gatsby not only sweeps other players in terms of personal data, but also ranks first in the league in terms of record, but because of the lack of storytelling, the MVP was given to Westbrook whose data is far inferior to Gatsby, because the data differs too much, This is the reason why the alliance recruits black.

Gatsby doesn't care, he knows that this is a embarrassment to the league. Over the years, he has won too many MVPs, because other players in the data have no way to compare with him. After all, he takes the data like eating and drinking. No one can compare with his ease.

Gatsby is aiming at the championship. This season's championship is more interesting. If he wins this championship, he can build a dynasty again. Originally, he could build a dynasty with the Lakers, but Gatsby still chose to return. When it comes to the Knicks, after all, this is his own team.

He has established a super dynasty for four consecutive championships for the Knicks. How interesting it is to build a three-peat championship dynasty again this time!

Entering the playoffs, the Knicks' terrible dominance was once again revealed. There was no opponent at all in the Eastern Conference. They played the Celtics in the first round, and the Celtics were swept by the Knicks in four games without even playing.

The 76ers played against the 76ers in the second round, and the 76ers have been doing well this season. Simmons has grown rapidly, but he simply doesn't have the ability to fight against the Knicks.Simmons and Gatsby played in the same position. Gatsby defended him so much that he didn't even dare to take the ball. In terms of defense, he didn't defend Gatsby because he was afraid of being fouled by Gatsby. Simmons was The core of the 76ers, he was restricted, and the [-]ers' offense was only [-]% effective, and they were swept by the Knicks in four games.

The Knicks faced off against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals. Unfortunately, the Pacers didn't play. Most of the stars went to the West. There was no one in the East who could play. The Knicks entered the finals with ease and joy!
