Chapter 168 The brutal playoffs have arrived!
Zhou Mubai did not talk about his goal, because D'Antoni and Donny Walsh were both old foxes who had been with NBA for many years. It was impossible to move them with their passion. What they believed more was strength.
The Knicks have Zhou Mubai, Kevin Martin, Jamison and Chandler, but that doesn't mean anything. Which team doesn't have many that can play?
Although Zhou Mubai is strong, he is just a rookie. He has not been tempered in the playoffs. Who knows what kind of results he can achieve?
Martin is flawed, and his physical disadvantage will be magnified in the playoffs. Moreover, Martin only played one first round in 2005-06 and was eliminated in six games. In terms of playoff experience, it is a little better than Zhou Mubai.
Jamison is an old man, but he is getting older and is over the age of fighting.
Chandler is a sick person. When he comes to the Knicks, he is considered a little healthy, but who knows whether he can stay healthy in the playoffs?
The Knicks' starting lineup is pretty good, but the substitute lineup is pretty good. Nate Robinson, who retreated from the starting lineup, is pretty good. In addition to lacking creativity, Chris Duhon is a bit interesting. Although Wilson Chandler is young, he can still look forward to his defense.
How can such a team be said? Ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference is in line with the value, but no one thinks how great it is in the playoffs.
Maybe it is an excellent shit stick, but no one will think shit stick will enter the elegant hall.
For example, the Celtics and the Lakers have a relatively large psychological advantage when they face the Knicks. Although the Knicks defeated them under Zhou Mubai's leadership, they actually have the intention of giving in to the game, and they will naturally know when they are in the playoffs.
The Knicks look a little difficult, but in their eyes, that's all.
This view is also a consensus between D'Antoni and Donny Walsh.
The Knicks' uncertainty is too great.
There was no way to convince the two old men, so Zhou Mubai stopped trying and seized the time to integrate the newcomer into the team. Although D'Antoni's running and shooting was still a bit pretentious in terms of concept, he could look forward to it with a point guard like himself.
After all, I am different from Nash. I can do it if Nash knows, and I can do it if Nash doesn't know, and I can play much more cards.
When most people start to fight desperately, winning becomes difficult because you don’t know when your opponent will suddenly explode. When your opponent breaks out, sometimes the league’s number one may be defeated by the team at the bottom of the league.
The Knicks' winning streak record could not be maintained, but the winning rate was still considerable. Not only did it maintain the fourth place in the East, but it even jumped to third place in the East, which shocked everyone to lose their glasses.
Zhou Mubai's triple-double record continues. Although his personal winning rate has dropped slightly, he always ranks first in the season.
The season began to end, and the rankings of the east and west were finally released.
The rankings of the east are:
The Cleveland Cavaliers won 61 wins and 21 supporters, with a winning rate of 74.4%;
The Orlando Magic's 59 wins and 23 losses is 72.0%;
The New York Knicks have 53 wins and 29 losses, with a winning rate of 64.6%;
Atlanta Hawks have 50 wins and 32 losses, with a winning rate of 61.0%;
The Boston Celtics have 47 wins and 35 losses, with a winning rate of 57.3%;
Miami Heat has 46 wins and 36 losses, with a winning rate of 56.1%;
The Milwaukee Bucks have 44 wins and 38 losses, with a winning rate of 53.7%;
Charlotte Hornets 41 wins and 41 losses, with a winning rate of 50.0%;
Under Zhou Mubai's leadership, the Knicks entered the third place in the East and successfully avoided the Cavaliers, Magic and Celtics.
The Knicks played a fantastic season. At the beginning of the season, when Zhou Mubai had not arrived at the Knicks, the Knicks scored a suffocating 3 wins and 13 losses, and they were about to go straight to the No. 1 pick.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Mubai came and pushed the Knicks from the bottom of the east to the third place in the east.
If calculated based on the winning rate after Zhou Mubai came, the Knicks' winning rate should be 75.7%, which is more than a point higher than the Cavaliers' 74.4%.
This is amazing. After all, there are at least twenty games of these fifty wins, Zhou Mubai and a group of losers. The victory in the later stage is also amazing. Although the players' personal abilities have improved, they are new to the team after all, and their cooperation is definitely a lot worse.
The Knicks won 32 games last season, which was only 82 games before they achieved results, while Zhou Mubai only took 66 games to score 50 games.
Even though it only took 66 games, the winning game was still improved by 21 games!
There is a relatively rare comment in the NBA. A player's standard for improving the team is how many wins the team can improve after joining a bottom team.
The four players in the top four before Zhou Mubai are:
Paul joined the Clippers in 2011. In the 10-11 season, the Clippers had Griffin, the best six-man Gordon, and Jordan Jr., and had only a record of 32 wins and 50 losses, and missed the playoffs.
But Paul's arrival in the summer of 11 completely changed the team's strength. In the shrinking season of the 11-12 season, the team's record was 40 wins and 26 losses, rising to fifth in the Western Conference.
By the full season of the 12-13 season, Paul's role was revealed. They achieved a record of 56 wins and 26 losses, an increase of 24 wins from the 10-11 season. In the following years, the Clippers have been teams with a team of more than 50 wins.
Kidd transferred to the Nets in 2001.
In the 2000-01 season, the Nets, led by the same excellent point guard Marbury, had only 26 wins and 56 losses, but in the summer of 2001, the Nets sent Marbury away and got Kidd. The Nets achieved a record of 52 wins and 30 losses in the 2001-02 season, adding 26 wins at once.
Nash returned to the Suns in 2004. In the previous season, that is, the 2003-04 season, the Suns led by Marbury achieved a record of 29 wins and 53 losses. In the summer of 2004, the Suns sent Marbury away in exchange for Nash. As a result, in the 2004-05 season, Nash led the Suns to a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, improving 33 wins.
——Poor Marbury.
One of the greatest small forwards in history, Bird is a player who can break his opponents.
Before Bird entered the Celtics in the 1978-1979 season, the team had a record of only 29 wins and 53 losses.
But Bird showed his superstar style in his rookie season, averaging 21.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game. His arrival instantly increased the bottom team by 32 wins, from 29 wins and 53 losses to 61 wins and 21 losses.
Zhou Mubai's winning rate is no worse than these seniors, and even farther than that.
The rankings in the west are:
Los Angeles Lakers 57 wins and 25 losses, with a winning rate of 69.5%;
Dallas Mavericks 55
Phoenix Suns 54 �
Denver Nuggets 53
Utah Jazz
Portland Trail Blazers 50 wins 32 losses, with a winning rate of 61.0%;
San Antonio Spurs 50 wins 32 losses, with a winning rate of 61.0%;
Oklahoma City Thunder 50 wins 32 losses, with a winning rate of 61.0%;
