The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 1305 Anti-Knicks Alliance

A complete arms race. Throughout the summer of 2014, the news about basketball was "so and so transferred again" and "so and so signed up for the team again"...

To be honest, everyone was very excited and interested at first. After all, this was the first time in history that such a large-scale group transfer happened.

In the past, the teams could only have "Yao Mai", "Shark Wei", "Twin Towers" and so on. Most of the combinations like GDP came from the draft, or some stars had passed their peak and gathered together. Let's discuss together to hit the championship, such as Barkley who went to the Rockets, and Malone and Payton who went to the Lakers to hug OK.

Unlike this year, the leaders of each team, including superstars, all-stars, and quasi-all-stars, collectively announced their departure from the team, and at least three of them went to the same team.

This kind of situation usually happens when playing 2k.

So when things are happening right in front of them, this novelty fascinates the fans. They will get together to see which stars can still sign up for a team and which combination of people will be stronger.

I have to say that the superstar group seemed very enjoyable for a short period of time.

A showdown between two teams full of stars is definitely better than a regular game, just like an All-Star team going all out. Wouldn't that be satisfying to watch?

However, when the prosperity fades and everything returns to calm, many people will suddenly feel that everything is boring.

In the final analysis, peak newspaper group damages interests in many aspects.

First of all, the teaming up of superstars will make the reconstruction of small market teams more and more difficult; the teaming up of superstars and the departure of the leading star will often directly lead to the rebuilding of the team. In the process of rebuilding the team, small market teams lack sufficient funds and exposure. To introduce star players at a high rate, the only way is through the draft, and the draft is a very risky thing. Even if you get the No. 1 pick, you may not be able to select good players, even if you select star players who can lead the team to rebuild. , but who can guarantee that he will not form a group?

Secondly, underdog teams will lose attention. This should be the most direct result of superstars joining together. The NBA is a business league. Many people watch the NBA because they have their favorite stars. Who would care too much about teams without their own stars?

Then there is the excitement of the game. Many people think that joining a group will make the game more exciting. Yes, but not completely. The exciting games are only the matches between a few strong teams, and the rest of the games will become boring.

For example, in the years before Zuo Li traveled through time, the Warriors and Cavaliers swept all the finals in those years, especially in the 17 years when Adu transferred. You knew who the champion was even with your eyes closed.

Such a situation will eventually harm the development of the league, and fan attention will slowly decline.

Many people actually know these things.

But there was no way to stop it.

After all, this thing is Pandora's box. Once you open it, you can't go back. After all, if you don't hug others, you will never win the championship.

Moreover, it is much easier to win championships and various honors by signing up for a team. Historically, all of LeBron James’ championships came from players signing up for a team, and most of the other honors also came from those years. If he had not left the Cavaliers, he would not have been able to win such a championship. What an honor.

So Adu couldn't bear it anymore.

Leonard said that if you can't bear it, then neither can I!

Harden said that since everyone can't bear it, then don't bear it anymore!

Irving, I don’t care whether you can bear it or not, I can’t bear it anyway.

So the NBA's most exaggerated team signing era has arrived.

At that time, a team with few All-Stars would be too embarrassed to say hello to others!

Zuo Li came back from that chaotic team signing era, which is why he spent so many years laying out the team.

So when a reporter worriedly asked if the Knicks were worried about the new season, Zuo Li said calmly: No!

What are you worried about? The strongest man is already in the battle!

In the new season, as long as Xiao Hua doesn't make jokes, he won't worry about his record.

after all…

Perhaps due to stimulation from the outside world, everyone in the Knicks could be said to have gone crazy during the offseason.

After all, these guys are coming for them. Their ambitions are written all over their faces. They want to bury the Knicks in the ground. Can they bear this?

Of course not!

So this group of potential newcomers trained like crazy during the offseason. Curry didn't even take any vacations, and didn't even go back home. He trained in New York for three months!

When Zuo Li came to see him at the end of August, his arms were enlarged and his figure was very close to that of his later peak years.

And Clay, who has not been flirting with women for a month, gave him a big surprise, because his shooting percentage when running without the ball is very scary, which is close to the level of his peak season.

Even rookies Sledgehammer and Dinwiddie have completely adapted to the Knicks' style of play and performed very well in the summer split. The two were even selected to the Eastern Conference All-NBA Team in the Summer Split!

In the end, Zuo Li couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to take the initiative to ask them to hold it back so they wouldn't be too tired.

However, just two or three days after Zuo Li finished speaking, the outside world suddenly changed!

First, James made a declaration to defeat the Knicks in the new season, and then Howard said that he has completely evolved and will show off his colors in the new season.

Then the general manager and boss of the Cavaliers stood up and spoke, as if they would not give up until the goal was achieved.

Then came the head coach of the Pacers, the head coach of the Hawks, and Byron Scott, who had just replaced Jackson as the head coach of the Lakers in the West, also joined in the fun. Even the rebuilding Celtics said that the existence of the Knicks had delayed the development of the league.

It was loud and vigorous.

A bunch of teams that were united began to accuse the Knicks of being inappropriate, controlling the championship and making the league unexciting and lacking suspense.

This event is called the anti-Knicks movement by fans. According to their theory, the Knicks should not win five consecutive championships!

Even David Stern was forced to leave by the team led by Xiao Hua. They demanded that the league not let the Knicks continue like this.

Good guy, as expected of Xiao Hua, he didn't get on stage smoothly because Zuo Li showed up, and now he can't bear it anymore, right?

Behind the scenes, they have become an anti-Knicks alliance, determined to fight against the same enemy in the new season and must bring down the Knicks!

The logic is impressive, but the purpose is clear.

Regarding this, Zuo Li just wanted to say: Haha, am I giving you face?

Zuo Li did not fully expect this event, after all, it was too sudden.

But everything is not traceable, everything is for profit.

Zuo Li is growing too fast and the Knicks are strong. Can other team owners and players not be jealous?

As for Xiao Hua, he is just a clown, a poor guy who was pushed out.

Obviously, they feel that the rise of the Knicks is inseparable from Stern.

And Xiao Hua is exactly the person who dislikes Zuo Li and the Knicks the most.

Thus, the Anti-Knicks Alliance was established.

"How can I tell the president, is that okay?"

"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of clowns. It's just a new season. You will encounter many difficulties, especially you. Pay attention to the referee."

"Haha, let's let them see how our new season is going to be."
