In addition to the team's combat strength, there is also the ranking of the players.

Yi Jianlian became the first again, this is the third consecutive season that his predecessors have been elected as the first in the league, of course, it is now the undisputed first in the league, any position may have doubts, only this position does not have any suspense.

"He's an unbelievable player, he's been so amazing at all times, I don't think I can expect more from him because he's shown all the surprises I can think of, it's an unbelievable guy and that's all I can say about him, he's creating his era and if he's been hugely successful this season, then all I can say is that Yi has created an era that's just for him!"

In second place is Kevin Durant, who reached another stage after reaching the Finals last season, and it was also the successful leadership of the team last season that allowed him to complete the overtake of LeBron James before the start of this season.

"Kevin Durant is a great guy, I mean, you can start to expect a little bit from him because he makes the whole Thunder team special, so to speak, if there is no Yi, then he would be the best guy in the entire class of '07, he can represent the class of '07 draft, of course, even with Yi, he is the second player in the league at the moment, he is really good, only Yi is even better!"

The third place is LeBron James, after this ranking comes out, the blow to LeBron James's fans should be the biggest, because many people suddenly found that everyone's expectations for LeBron James are gradually disappearing, and everyone no longer cares about how LeBron James has prepared for the new season, and now more fans are concerned about Yi and Kevin Durant.

"It's a crazy time, I mean, there should never have been an era where a person with physical talent, basketball IQ and even hard enough didn't become the focus of everyone's discussion, everyone was talking about two rookies in the class of '07 who entered the league behind him, but we have to admit that the era of LeBron James has quietly passed before it has arrived, and everyone no longer cares about everything about this team. Everyone's expectations for LeBron James are no longer the same as in the past, of course, for LeBron James, he still has a chance to redeem, because he still has enough time to prove something, of course, this is why everyone's expectations for him will be lower, because everyone knows that he is likely to still bring no change! ”

……

LeBron James's ranking in the new season is still not so high, but he himself was very calm in an interview: "This is how we have been evaluated in the past, we really didn't do what everyone expected, but we will continue to prove our level, it will take a little time, but I think we will have a time to succeed!" ”

LeBron James isn't very angry with his rankings, and that's where he matures, because he knows that what he should do more than be angry is to prove himself with actual excitement in the game.

'It's a new season, long and tough, but for me I'm ready and we're going to enjoy the season because we're going to do something this season that will surprise others!'

"It's like three wins in a row!"

When the media open day came, Yi Jianlian also said what he said after winning the championship in the finals in June when facing the media, in his opinion, the New York Knicks will inevitably win the championship of the new season and complete the three consecutive championships!

He is really confident, although he also knows that there is a big devil team this season, but he is also satisfied with the Knicks' reinforcement this year.

With the addition of James Harden and Ray Allen, this year's New York Knicks are the strongest New York Knicks in the past three years, and they are also the season with the most people to rely on.

This season, Yi Jianlian believes that he will inevitably keep the championship trophy with the New York Knicks once again.

Speaking of which, changing a group of people this year is actually not conducive to the team establishing a tacit understanding and winning championships all the time, but the Knicks have done it.

All this naturally stems from the fact that they have Yi Jianlian.

All the players who came later basically came for the championship, of course, to put it bluntly, they actually came for Yi Jianlian, which also made them absolutely convinced of Yi Jianlian!

It is said that such a team can really maintain the resilience and momentum of the team by changing the lineup once a year, after all, no matter how much it has been relied on for a long time, it will be thought of relying on Yi Jianlian to solve everything alone.

With such a lot of lineups, every year there are a group of players who trust Yi Jianlian, but they also have players who rush in, which is conducive to winning the championship.

This year is the same in Yi Jianlian's view.

The mystery of why Ray Allen came to the New York Knicks was exposed soon after he joined, it turned out that in the latter stages of last season, Angie almost completed the trade for him, when Angie had already called Ray Allen to call to report to the new team, but then encountered some accidents and canceled the deal.

But although the deal was canceled, Ray Allen kept this matter in mind, after the end of the contract, although Angie offered another offer contract, but Ray Ethics ignored it, and directly chose to enter the free market, and after watching it for a long time, he chose to join the New York team, and refused to offer more other teams, in order to prove that he can still contribute his ability to the championship team.

And James Harden, he actually doesn't need to say much, why leaving the Thunder is now something that many NBA fans know!

The Thunder chose to give him up in order to spend no more than 4 years and 6 million, in his opinion, this is naturally unacceptable, and he naturally wants to prove something!

This will certainly allow him to maintain his momentum in the new season.

And from what Yi Jianlian learned, James Harden, who left the Thunder, directly became a player above the NBA All-Star level after having more balls, even if his defensive attitude is a little criticized, but his threat ability on the offensive end is indeed no worse than Kevin Durant and Westbrook, if the Thunder can keep him, the championship is really not a difficult thing!
