At the end of the regular season, the Knicks ranked third in the East and met the Miami Heat in the first round.

At the end of the regular season, all the players' personal data were settled, and various awards were being evaluated in full swing.

Some awards involving subjective comments are the main targets for evaluation, such as regular season MVP, Best Rookie, Best Sixth Person, Best Defender, and Best Awards, and the results can be obtained by looking at the data have been implemented.

For example, scoring king, rebounding king, stealing king, blocking king, etc.

Zhou Mubai's average season data has also been counted. Because the new teammates joined in the second half of the season, Zhou Mubai's score and rebounds fell a bit in the second half of the season, but because of the improvement of his teammates' strength, his assists increased instead.

So in the end, Zhou Mubai's average data was 42.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 14.5 assists, 2.3 steals, assists, and 2.5 blocks, and he averaged 36.2 minutes per game, of which the shooting percentage was 68.8%, and the three-point shooting percentage was an astonishing 52.5%.

Zhou Mubai averaged 6.4 of 12.2 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 52.5%. This season, Zhou Mubai made 524 three-pointers, which is the first miracle in NBA history!

Before Zhou Mubai, Steve Nash also achieved a three-point shooting percentage of 45% in a single season, and it was 01-02, 06-07, 07-08.

Nash's three-point shooting percentage in 201-02 season was 45.5% in a single season and hit 156 three-pointers;

Nash's three-point shooting percentage in the 2006-07 season was 45.5%, which was also 156 three-pointers;

Nash's three-point shooting percentage in 2007-08 was 47% in a single season and hit 179 three-pointers.

But in terms of quantity and hit number, they are far inferior to Zhou Mubai.

The so-called Thunder Allen and Reggie Miller are not without the shooting percentages of the sharpshooters who have higher shooting percentages than Zhou Mubai, but if they have a terrifying 12.2 shots per game, hit 524 three-pointers in the season, and can maintain a shooting percentage of more than 45%, there is only one in NBA history, and it will be difficult for anyone to surpass it in the future.

This season, Zhou Mubai won the scoring king, assisting king and stealing king, and rebounding king and blocking king were won by Howard.

For other subjective awards, the best rookie is undoubtedly Zhou Mubai. No one can compete with Zhou Mubai for this award.

There is no doubt that you can win the best rookie and become a rookie team.

With a triple-double average, there is no doubt that he will enter the best team. In fact, the regular season MVP has basically settled. It depends on whether it will become a unanimous MVP.

The question now is the selection of defense. The best defense awards are for defense. First defense and second defense, it depends on Zhou Mubai's ability to enter the lineup. After all, Zhou Mubai averages 10.8 rebounds, 2.3 steals, assists and 2.5 blocks per game, which are all achievements in defense.

Zhou Mubai is second only to Howard, the rebounding champion, and second to Howard, blocks, but his steals are the best in the league.

From this perspective, Zhou Mubai has the ability to defend one by one, and can even be the best defensive player.

However, the point guard has always been at a disadvantage in the selection of the best defensive player. Due to the larger defensive coverage area and better basket protection effects, and the stereotype that those who win the inside have always won the world, the inside players have a more advantage in both statistics and visual effects on the field. Therefore, the inside players are more popular in this award, and in previous years, they have mostly won the front players.

This has been the case since the NBA established the award for Best Defensive Player in 1982.

It's too difficult for the defender to win the award for Best Defense.

It is even more difficult to organize the defender. Since its establishment, only one Gary Payton has won. Later, those outside defense experts, such as Bowen, Bathir, Kobe, and Wade, have not won the title of Best Defensive Player.

The reason why these awards are subjective is that they are not only calculated based on data, but also involve voting sessions between journalists and critics, which are likely to be influenced by people's subjective impressions.

However, these are not issues that Zhou Mubai needs to worry about at the moment. He has been put into preparations for the playoffs.

Because of the top ranking, according to the 2-2-1-1-1 rule, the first two games were the Knicks' home court.

The team entered the playoffs, which was like a holiday for the Knicks fans. The last time they entered the playoffs was in the 2003-04 season, but they were swept 4-0 by the city's archenemy Nets.

This time the Knicks still seem a bit strong?

The fans are actually not sure. Although the Knicks have a regular season MVP (although the result has not been released yet, there is basically no suspense), their own MVP is just a rookie.

Having not experienced the baptism of the playoffs, who knows whether he can perform well in the playoffs?

The uncertainty of fans has also been influenced by comments from various critics.

Before the playoffs begin, there are always some forward-looking articles.

ESPN and TNT's forward-looking articles are not optimistic about the Knicks, and they unanimously believe that the Heat is likely to blacklist Knicks.

The biggest reason is that Zhou Mubai has not experienced the playoffs.

Senior fans all know that the regular season and the playoffs are not the same game, and the difference is too big, and the confrontation and targeting are not at the same level.

Not to mention rookies, there are even some stars who have played for many years. They are so powerful in the regular season and have really failed in the playoffs.

Experience is very important.

The second reason is that it comes from coach D'Antoni.

Experts unanimously agree that the Phoenix Sun is better than the Knicks. After all, there are those with the Knicks and the Sun, and there are those with the Sun, but the Knicks may not have them.

The Knicks' strength is Zhou Mubai, but Nash is not weaker than Zhou Mubai. The Suns have a strong Sir, and the Knicks do not have such an offensive core, so the offense still depends on Zhou Mubai.

D'Antoni could not go far in the playoffs a few years ago. Of course, it would not be possible to go too far to lead this team that is weaker than the Suns.

In the playoffs, coaches and core players of the team are the key, and the thickness of the bench is also the key. The Knicks' bench can only be considered ordinary. In the playoffs, ordinary is fatal, because the playoffs are eight teams that stand out from thirty teams. If you are not outstanding, you are weak.

Coaches, player leaders, and bench players all have their own shortcomings. How can such a team go far?
