Chapter 277 The opener, the old rival of the Knicks
Fifth place: Chicago Bulls. They are one of the main teams chasing James and Dragon King Bosh in the summer, but unfortunately their plan was not successful. In the end, they were taken the lead by the Miami people. But they strengthened the free market in the summer
But it was quite successful.
The Jazz have been busy all summer long to keep Carlos Boozer, but in the end, the Bulls picked peaches. Indeed, Utah City in the high-altitude small ball city will never be as attractive as Chicago, two consecutive seasons
The departure of a number four player made the Jazz's inside strength no longer as good as they were before.
However, the Chicagoans have become the biggest beneficiaries, Derek Ross, Noah, Boozer, and Rollden. Such a lineup is enough to withstand any NBA team, including the amazingly talented Heat and the Knicks.
Sixth place: Mavericks. When everyone's eyes were attracted by the formation of the Big Three Miami and the strengthening of New York, the Dallas were already quietly rising.
They were based on Eric Danpier, plus Matt Carroll, Eduardo Nahura and cash deals to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for Alexis Akinsa and Tyson
Chandler.
Chandler helped the Bobcats make the playoffs for the first time last season, but he didn't expect that the first thing that happened this season was that he was traded to Dallas.
For Charlotte fans, there is nothing more bad about them. If there is one, Jordan has become the owner of the Bobcats.
Jordan is a good player, but he is definitely not a good boss. However, the acquisition of $275 million, whether the fans want to or not, makes Jordan completely the boss of the Bobcats.
At the same time, the Dallas also signed free agent Serbs from the free market: Peja Stojakovic. This is one of the best outside shooters in the league that year. Although he is 33 years old, he can still play last season
All contribute 12.6 points, so don’t underestimate the veteran, as he may become more and more charismatic as he gets older.
Although the Mavericks are older, no one knows whether they will stage a "old bird is also crazy" scene!
After all, the phenomenon of growing old and becoming stronger in the alliance has always existed!
Seventh: The Hawks.
Eighth: Nuggets.
Ninth: Thunder.

On October 23, the regular season schedule of the NBA 2010-2011 season was released. This season, as Lian Dao expected, their schedule this season is more reasonable. There are only about 13 back-to-back games in the whole season, and most of them are
Focused on the first half of the season.
The back-to-back reduction after the All-Star game will be greatly reduced, and this kind of venue arrangement is basically the favorite of every team.
At the beginning of the season, players need to use the tight schedule to help themselves quickly get into the best shape after a summer break.
In the first half of the season, players' physical reserves will be stronger, and a large number of schedules will not cause injuries to players, but in the second half of the season, players' physical reserves will decline. If there are frequent back-to-back at this time, it is likely to increase.
Injury risk.
However, the Knicks' schedule in the second half of this season is very relaxed, which will greatly reduce the risk of players being injured.
With the release of the regular season schedule, Baccai also offered the latest NBA championship odds, with the Miami Heat ranked first.
Although many people know that a team's championship is not just a pile of stars, the essence of professional basketball and commercial league is not just a victory or defeat, but traffic, the popularity of the topic and attention, and in this regard, it has to be done.
It was said that the Heat had succeeded, but the master operation Pat Laili made the Heat look the biggest eye.
Moreover, not only now, but also in the future, the establishment of the Heat's three giants has left a strong mark in the history of the NBA, and has become one of the exciting things in the NBA era!
On October 25, Rashid Watt completed the signing of a 5 million middle-class contract with the Knicks in a year, and Lian Dao also welcomed Rashid to join on Twitter.
Since then, the Knicks' inside line has once again added a championship-level veteran.
But until now, the Knicks' salary space has just reached 60 million. Although it exceeds the league salary cap of $57.7 million, it is still a long way from reaching the red line of luxury tax.
Moreover, the luxury tax red line will not be reached in the next two years. Even if the Knicks renew their contracts for clean rice and offer a maximum salary contract in two years, the team's salary can be controlled within 70 million, and it will not be easily touched.
Go to the luxury tax threshold.
October 26th is the opening game of the league's new season, but this year there is nothing wrong with the Knicks. The league has arranged three games in the opening game: Lakers VS Rockets; Suns VS Trail Blazers; Miami VS Cavaliers!
These three games are very interesting, especially the game between Miami and the Cavaliers, which is really a public execution.
Stern would not have known that James is the man whom the Cavaliers and even the entire Cleveland hates to the core.
This is a game scheduled at this time, and it is still at the home court of the Cavaliers.
All I can say is, Stern, a little bad!
However, this game was also jokingly called by netizens and they wanted to watch the most. This year, netizens really don’t mind the big deal!
The Knicks' first game was on the 27th, away against the Celtics.
This game is also very interesting. After the two teams fought in the Eastern Conference Final last season, although they were not mortal enemies, they were definitely not friendly.
Moreover, as the number one enemy who eliminated the Knicks, basically all the Knicks players were in a hurry, and they were bound to release them in the first game.
The Knicks' match against the Celtics is the game that fans want to watch most except Miami vs. Cavaliers.
The strong showdown and the battle of revenge also made the fans excited.
Moreover, as both the Atlantic Division, if the Knicks want to win this season, they will have to step on the corpse of the Celtics. This game is both avenge and a proof of their ability to win the championship.
"A sentence I like very much is: get up from wherever we fall! We were indeed inferior to others in the Eastern Conference Final last season, but the victory in this game will only belong to the Knicks!" Lian Dao played against Kyle
Before the game, the Special People no longer blindly keeps the key. Sometimes they need to be low-key, but sometimes they need to be more imposing.
The battle of revenge requires momentum!
Although Lian Dao made harsh words in front of the media, he did not underestimate the Celtics. On the contrary, he knew the difficulty of these old guys.
The most important thing is that they have recruited a group of old guys in the summer. Netizens also jokingly call the Celtics a "star nursing home", but there is a saying that the older they get, the more demon it becomes. This sentence is not unreasonable.
In the Knicks' first game, D'Antoni was not prepared to let Cousins start.
D'Antoni has set up a targeted team. D'Antoni has used the small team in the preseason before, and the effect is not good. But he didn't expect that this time he will set up a small team again: Holiday,
Danny Green, Lian Dao, Millsap, Studmeier.
Previously, Tony Allen was in the second position. Tony Allen had no problem with defense, but the offense could not share the outside firepower for Lian Dao, so D'Antoni only used it once at that time.
Later, Lian Dao suggested that if the small lineup was replaced with Danny Green in the second position, it might be effective.
At Lian Dao's suggestion, Danny Green also strengthened his shooting stability. Lian Dao and Holiday both have passing and ball-holding offensive capabilities, and there are no defects in the offensive firepower on the outside.
Millsap and Studmeier's defense are relatively disadvantaged, but the offense is absolutely quite explosive. Both of them are tall players who have both mid- and long-distance shooting and low-post offensive frame breakthroughs.
Most NBA teams will find it difficult to face such an offensive combination, which is actually a problem in D'Antoni's offense first.
The starting lineup sent by the Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal.
This year, the Celtics have the most players in the No. 5 position. Once they were bitten by snakes for ten years, they were afraid of ropes. Perkins, who was injured in the finals last season, is still on the list of injuries. Five
The number position is unavailable, which makes them lose. Although Rashidward did not perform well in the finals, you can't let a 35-year-old veteran play for 48 minutes.
Although they have Glen Davis, the big baby's height is still at a disadvantage in the fifth position.
