Chapter 152 We do not rely on defense to win!

Chandler and Jamison were not happy, where was Kevin Martin?

Kevin Martin looks pretty happy.

Martin is indeed very happy.

Six years ago, he was selected by the Kings, with a not-high pick, only 26th pick - after all, he was thin and his shooting posture was awkward.

He was not favored at first, but fortunately the Kings soon entered reconstruction and he got the opportunity because of this. Bunch Wells was injured and put him in the main position of the team.

He seemed to be very good at starting position. He was one of the core players of the team and even won the best of the month. However, three years and three years later, six years have passed, and he has only entered the playoffs once.

For a player, every playoff season, he can only watch other teams fight on the field. How painful it is.

This time he was traded, the team manager had communicated with him. In fact, there were several teams that could choose. After all, this was a big sale. After thinking about it, Martin chose the Knicks.

For nothing else, it's just for Zhou Mubai.

Martin is very clear about his positioning. He knows that his talent is limited, and whether it is physical fitness, height, wingspan, or vision, he only depends on a pretty good football player. Such talent cannot become the team leader, and even the second in command is in trouble.

Martin has ambitions. He doesn't want to gain nothing in more than ten years. He wants a championship, but he can't rely on himself. He needs someone who can really lead him forward, and this person is Zhou Mubai.

He had fought with Zhou Mubai, and just once, Zhou Mubai was impressed by him, so when the team manager consulted him, he chose the Knicks without hesitation.

So when I got my wish, Kevin Martin was very happy.

Zhou Mubai looked at Martin who was smiling happily, and his emotions were also infected, and he couldn't help laughing.

The Knicks and their entourage had just returned to New York, but they couldn't rest, because the next game started on the third day, and the Knicks had to go into the game after only one day of rest.

Because Chandler and the other two did not practice together with the team, D'Antoni originally planned not to let them play, saying that they would wait until they practice together before playing.

However, Zhou Mubai saw the desire to ask for the three of them and advised: "Let them fight and be proficient in each other in the game. With their experience, I think there should be no problem."

D'Antoni looked at the fighting spirit in the eyes of the three of them and had to nod in agreement.

The visiting team is the young Oklahoma City Thunder, which is a youth team, and the eldest and second-generation team are too young.

——Durant is in the third grade this year, and Westbrook is in the second grade. As for James Harden, one of the third young masters of the Thunder, he often stays on the bench.

Of course, although the Knicks' players are quite evenly distributed, the boss of the team is also an overly young rookie.

One-third of the season has passed, but this is Zhou Mubai's first time fighting with the Thunder.

Durant and Westbrook's name is simply well-known. Zhou Mubai has heard of it many times, especially Westbrook who is in the same position as him.

Westbrook is considered to be the most explosive point guard in the league today, and the most violent and terrifying player.

Westbrook seems to have a steely body. He will never make layups if he can dunk. He also performs a good show of tomahawks from time to time. He is very physically strong and can violently dunk in overtime!

Of course, in terms of physical fitness, Zhou Mubai may be the first among point guards, but Zhou Mubai is too experienced in playing basketball. Except for showing off a few games, the rest of the time is actually technical.

So when people think about it, their first thought is that Westbrook is the most explosive point guard.

Zhou Mubai has studied Westbrook, but he has a low evaluation of Westbrook.

In the eyes of a person with high IQ, calmness and pattern are one of the basic qualities that must be possessed. Zhou Mubai thinks Westbrook is too reckless.

However, Zhou Mubai still has some expectations for Westbrook's future. After all, people are growing up. Westbrook is not a thousand-year-old monster like him. As he gets older and has experience, he will naturally mature.

However, the young man with a big bearded face kept staring at him made Zhou Mubai a little curious.

Zhou Mubai remembers that he seems to be called James Harden, and he seems to be a rookie this year, and he is said to play well.

Tonight's Madison Garden Plaza was full of people. The Knicks recently won 11 consecutive victories, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference. They are already one of the serious playoff teams. Now the team has traded three good players to assist Zhou Mubai, which makes the fans inexplicably excited.

The competition begins.

The Thunder coach Scott Brooks arranged the starting lineup for the Thunder are Durant, Westbrook, Sapo Sovlosa, and Nenald Kostic.

Tonight's Knicks' starting lineup has undergone major changes. In addition to Zhou Mubai and Garlinari, the other three are the three new teammates - Tyson Chandler, Kevin Martin and Antoine Jamison.

Mike Blinke, who is in charge of the espn trio in the US, said: "Chandler, Martin and Jamison, have just arrived at the Knicks. They probably don't even have time to practice together. Let them play together now. Will this work?"

Mike Bryn's suspicion makes sense. Basketball games are very challenging to cooperate. Of course, in low-level games, you may be able to play well with a few people at will, but in such high-level games, cooperation is crucial.

Moreover, you may be able to rely on talent in offense, but defense is the cooperation of the whole team. If you have never practiced together, there is no cooperation at all.

So Zhou Mubai told his teammates when he was on the court: "Just defend alone. If it is not necessary, don't help defend. Tyson, you can defend the inside line well. Others will hold on to their own people. We don't rely on defense tonight, we rely on offense!"

Chandler and the other two looked at each other.

Well, that's what the Knicks do.

I used to lack defensive resources, but now I have never practiced together, so I rely on offense, there is nothing wrong with it.

According to data, the Knicks' recent 11-game winning streak should be the best team in the league in offense, no one.

However, Tyson Chandler patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, leave it to me inside. As long as you don't let it go too loose, I will naturally stop you inside!"

Zhou Mubai smiled. With this guy in there, he would indeed have more confidence in defense. Since the Bobcats have been there this season, when Chandler is present, the Bobcats have ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency!
