There is no team in the entire NBA that has won eight games, so the Knicks' 7-1 record is the best record in the league.
The Knicks are also 7-1, as are the Lakers in the West, the Celtics and Cavaliers in the East.
The Lakers lost one game to the Rockets, and the Celtics and Cavaliers played each other twice, with both sides winning and losing.
The team rankings predicted by Zach Lowe in the pre-season combine the paper strength of each team and the performance in the pre-season, and finally come to the conclusion——
"As the defending champions, the Lakers, who have 7 wins and 1 loss in the preseason and only lost one game to the Rockets, should be the kings of the new season. They have retained the main core lineup of last season. Although there are no reinforcements, the growth of young players has
The improvements that players like Andrew Bynum, Trevor Ariza and Jordan Farmar will make will make them even stronger."
The Lakers are ranked first, just like Kobe is ranked first in the player rankings, Zach Lowe really can't put the defending champion behind.
"Although the Knicks failed to make it to the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs last season, in the few games we have played, we have been able to see the potential of this Knicks. Lin Yu, who has outstanding personal ability, and Kevin Kaspersky, who has outstanding defense and is full of energy.
Kyle Lowry, the wing Wilson Chandler with unlimited potential, Zach Randolph who can stabilize 20+10, and a group of pragmatic and stable blue-collar players..."
"In the new season, they have also completed reinforcements. The addition of James Posey, Ricky Davis, and Chris Wilcox directly strengthened one of their biggest weaknesses last season: bench depth.
, this new Knicks already has all the elements for success, and the new season will be a season of success for them."
The Knicks were ranked second, which surprised many people.
Lin Yu is one of the few people who knows the inside story. Zach Lowe is now his mouthpiece. All rankings take good care of Lin Yu. It is not the kind of extreme care, but the kind of care that is just right. This kind of care.
, which will allow Lin Yu to be recognized and not be questioned.
Judging from last season's performance and preseason performance, there is no big problem with the Knicks ranking second, and there is no objection.
Controversy arose in the next ranking.
"I ranked the Cleveland Cavaliers third because Danny Ferry had another perfect transfer period, re-signing Ben Gordon, who fit LBJ last season, and using Ira Newbell and Joe
- Smith, the two already slightly redundant bench players, exchanged offensive point guard Mo Williams from the Bucks, and then exchanged Jamal Crawford for Al Harrington, who is good at long-range shooting.
These three transactions were all accurately conducted around LBJ."
"In the end, they traded David Liga, who struggled last season, and Damian Wilkins, who was already slightly redundant, for the defensive Anthony Parker, directly targeting the single-handedly defeating them last season.
Lin Yu."
"Although there are no real star players joining, every signing and transaction they make is highly targeted. LeBron James has got the most suitable teammates for him, and the Cavaliers are still the deepest bench in the league.
The team with the most resources and the least shortage of scorers.”
"The Celtics are ranked fourth. The Big Three have encountered Waterloo for two consecutive seasons. Two seasons have passed. Paul Pierce, who is 31 years old, Ray Allen, who is 33 years old, and the last one who is 32 years old.
Kevin Garnett suffered a serious injury during the season, maybe the Big Three are no longer the Big Three."
"This summer, they have also lost some combat effectiveness. The departure of James Posey is the most fatal, followed by the retirement of Sam Cassell and P.J. Brown. They have no real valuable signings, perhaps with Michael Carr.
It’s related to the fact that they took office quite hastily, they just selected some newcomers, and the performance of these newcomers in the summer league and preseason games was not satisfactory.”
"It seems that the Celtics, who pioneered the superstar team-up, will end with a complete failure and end their era that has not yet come."
The Cavaliers are third and the Celtics are fourth. This is where the controversy lies.
Celtics fans reacted fiercely. They believed: "The Cavaliers were completely beaten by the Knicks last season, but the Celtics defeated the Knicks. Even if the Knicks complete reinforcements and the Celtics' strength is damaged,
It’s understandable that the Knicks are ranked ahead of the Celtics, but why should the Cavaliers be ranked ahead of the Celtics?”
Ranked fifth are the Rockets, who traded Artest, followed by the Hornets, Spurs and Magic.
Basically, Zach Lowe's prediction is similar to Lin Yu's, that is, in the new season, the Eastern Conference will be dominated by the Knicks, Celtics, Cavaliers and Magic.
In the eyes of fans and more football critics, the strength of the three teams, the Knicks, Celtics and Cavaliers, is similar. The season has not started yet, and no one can say who is better among these three teams.
weak.
The Magic are half a level lower than these three teams.
Lin Yu knew, however, that this season the Magic would become one of the top teams because Howard had grown to the point where he could replace James alone.
In other words, in the Eastern Conference this season, the Knicks, Celtics, Cavaliers and Magic will all be neck-and-neck opponents.
"The west is strong and the east is weak, but now, the east is not considered weak anymore. It may have been a tough match in the first round, but this round, it will definitely be a showdown between the strong."
Compared with the very clear situation in the east, the west is a bit chaotic.
The Lakers are very strong, this is recognized.
But in addition, whether it is the Rockets who acquired Artest, the Spurs who continued to maintain the same lineup, or the Nuggets who replaced the AI with Chauncey Billups, or the Jazz who continued to grow as a new duo,
With King Notre Dame, Jason Kidd, Terry and Josh Howard, the Mavericks, who are good on paper, have Nash, Stoudemire, and Shark, and the Suns, who are also good on paper, have retained the core that ranked second in the Western Conference last year.
The Hornets of the lineup…
It seems that the Western Conference is more like a super-powerful situation.
The release of Zach Lowe's pre-season team rankings means that the new season is about to begin, and in the face of numerous predictions, Lin Yu has not forgotten the "poisonous milk" joke he stole.
So, as the opening game drew closer, he gave the Rockets a big mouthful of milk for the Rockets who were about to play against them.
"The Rockets are an opponent that cannot be ignored. They already have Yao Mai, and they got Ron in the summer. Together with President Sean, they now have the best wing combination in the league. They will obviously become the best player this season.
One of the teams.”
Although he doesn’t know if his poisonous milk stalk can be stolen, at least, his poisonous milk must be successful, because in terms of disappointing people, Yao Mai’s Rockets never disappoint...
