Iguodala came very quickly, and there was no problem with the physical examination, so she passed it directly.

The Knicks' main rotation lineup is Iguodala, Jamison, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Martin, Tony Allen, Channing Fry, Korver, Spetts, and Zhou Mubai. Yao Ming is not backing so quickly. Anyway, the Knicks don't need Yao Ming to pay so quickly. Anyway, they just take a rest. Although Yao Ming's injury has almost healed, he has also started to rehabilitate his sexual training.

There will be a game in the Knicks on Sunday, and the opponent is the Nuggets from the Denver Plateau. Originally, D'Anthony wanted Iguodala Yesbets to take a few days off and adapt to it before participating in the game. Unexpectedly, Iguodala has a high enthusiasm for participating in the game.

Iguodala said excitedly that he was happiest when he was able to play with Zhou Mubai.

Iguodala has worked with a super defender like Iverson and has led the team to fight Zhou Mubai, both in the 76ers and in the United States. He has long been interested in Zhou Mubai.

Since the player is so enthusiastic, D'Antoni is not easy to refuse, but he is still clueful about how to arrange Iguodala, so he found Zhou Mubai to ask for his opinion.

Zhou Mubai smiled at this and said, "It's not enough to just put him into the starting lineup. He can be replaced by Danilo's open position, and there is no need to break the order of rotation. Andre is also a former team leader, so it's not good to make him play as a substitute."

D'Antoni hesitated: "Will the lineup be too small?"

Zhou Mubai looked at D'Antoni in surprise: "Mike, you are a little ball master..."

D'Antoni couldn't help but smile.

To him, he is a master of small balls. His famous saying is - if there is any problem that cannot be solved, then make the lineup smaller. If there are any problems, then make it smaller.

Iguodala entered the starting lineup, and the lineup formed with Zhou Mubai, Tony Allen, Korver and Chandler is not particularly small. At least they are all a large lineup with four smalls, and they are not an extreme five small lineup. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, then let's do it, let's see the effect first."

Match day.

There are fewer free games in Madison Garden Plaza, especially when the Knicks are the defending champions. Fans will spend money to scold people when the Knicks are in a downturn. Naturally, they will not be reluctant to spend money when the Knicks are brilliant - they are all rich people anyway.

When Cameron Anthony saw Madison Garden Square, he looked a little emotional. If he let go and came to the Knicks, maybe he might be playing here, but... He looked at Zhou Mubai who was warming up on the opposite court and sighed. If you want to blame him, you should blame Zhou Mubai.

He originally thought that he would come to the Knicks at the end of the Nuggets contract. After all, New York is the essence of the East, the largest city in the United States, where he can maximize his commercial value. Unexpectedly, Zhou Mubai appeared out of thin air and occupied this treasure land in New York. With Zhou Mubai here, even if he came, it might not be a good thing - Zhou Mubai is too strong!

The reason why Chinese people understand it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail is not only understood by Chinese people, but also Americans.

On the one hand, Anthony was afraid of Zhou Mubai's strength, and on the other hand, he was also jealous of Zhou Mubai's good luck.

Why did you win the championship in your rookie season?

This is not just a matter of strength. For example, Michael Jordan, Chamberlain and others cannot win the championship in their rookie season. This is not just a matter of strength, but also... luck!

However, if Anthony's thoughts were heard by Zhou Mubai, he would inevitably sneer.

luck?

Oh!

The Knicks were traded by the defending champion to a Knicks who no one wants to go, and with a group of role players, facing the powerful Magic team that reached the finals last season, facing the Celtics who won the championship, and then confronted the defending champion Lakers in the finals. You think this is luck?

The Nuggets had an internal strife last season, which was very unhappy, but Anthony has not found a next home yet, so even though he and George Carl had a very unhappy relationship, they could only endure the disgusting cooperation with each other. This is the adult world. Although they are unhappy, as long as they can make up for it, they can only tolerate it.

But it has to be said that the Nuggets with Anthony and Billups are still very strong. As long as they are still in the Nuggets, the Nuggets will still have a chance to go far in the playoffs.

The competition begins.

The starting lineup of the Nuggets is: Billups, Aaron Affraro, Cameron Anthony, Kenyon Martin and Nene.

The Knicks' starting lineups are: Zhou Mubai, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Korver and Tyson Chandler.

Chandler and Nene jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Chandler took the lead in transferring the ball to Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mubai quickly advanced to the frontcourt, then stopped to observe the Nuggets' defensive lineup.

The Knicks changed to a starting lineup, and the space in the starting lineup was much smaller than before.

Compared to Gallinari, Iguodala's three-point threat is much smaller.

Van Gundy Jr. also complained about this: "The deal between the Knicks and Philadelphia is a win-win deal, but D'Antoni's arrangement is not very good. I think Tony Allen should be retreated into the second team and Fry should enter the starting position to replace Garlinari, so that the Knicks' space will be much better.

Now that Iguodala is in the starting lineup, the three-pointers of Tony Allen and Chandler are not considered stable, this will make Zhou Mubai's breakthrough less threatening.

But it's still the beginning of the season. If there are any problems, you can correct them in time. It can be considered an experiment, but I'm not optimistic about this arrangement."

Van Gundy's analysis is quite reasonable. In the next game, the Knicks' breakthrough space was indeed much smaller. Even Chandler and Zhou Mubai's pick-and-roll were affected and the operation was not smooth.

The offensive stagnation is disappointing, but the defensive end is amazing.

In half a quarter, the Knicks scored 16 points, while the Nuggets scored only 8 points!

This is a very low score for the Nuggets. Last season, the Nuggets averaged 106.5 points per game, which means that they had to have at least 13.3 points per game in half a quarter to be considered a qualified score, but now they have been suppressed to only score 8 points. The difference here is not the difference between one or two goals.

The Nuggets are often nicknamed Denver Track and Field Teams, meaning that Nuggets players run faster than you and jump higher than you. No one can catch up with their speed. They are like track and field teams in the NBA.

Their talent is indeed very high, and with Anthony's scoring talent and Billups' strategy, the Nuggets' offense has always been very strong. The reason why they failed to advance to the finals was not because their offense was not strong, but because their defense was so meaningful.
Chapter completed!
