The Lakers' opening lineup was arranged by Collins as Smush? Parker, Bryant, Odom, Wang, Kwame Brown. The Lakers' current interior line is absolutely at the top level of the league, but the outside line is somewhat underestimated by many teams, and many people think that the Lakers have not completed the final team building.

The result of Paul's start is that Gong Feng is directly opposite Kobe, and the alignment between Ray Allen and Odom is at a disadvantage in terms of height and weight.

No one would have thought that the Knicks would start playing cards out of common sense at the beginning of the season, Mir? After winning a championship, Dolan did not play in the normal range in the subsequent playoff career, even if there were voices saying that the Knicks could only quench their thirst, and it did not hinder Mill's high prestige among New York fans.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks were in a weak position defensively, and Kobe Bryant's desire to perform at the beginning was very strong, not only because the Lakers' championship was snatched away by the Knicks, but also at the beginning to show that the Lakers should have a different performance from last season, and Kobe Bryant also needed to prove himself with a battle, and broke through the defense again and again at the beginning of the game to cause chaos on the Knicks' interior line.

The battle against Kwamei has already made the Knicks' interior line feel difficult, not to mention the addition of Kobe. Although Kwame put more energy on defense at the beginning of the game, no one in this league really dared to give up on Kwame's defense.

Fortunately, the Knicks didn't do much on defense, but on offense, the Lakers couldn't easily defend.

Opposite Kobe is Gong Feng, which is also one of the reasons why Kobe wants to play, but Kobe Bryant chooses to break through Gong Feng every time to go to the basket for singles, but there is another reason, that is, Gong Feng has become more aggressive under his defense!

At the beginning, Gong Feng still gave Paul some space and time to perform, but when Paul was too nervous, or in the case of the Lakers team playing all their best at the beginning, and making two consecutive mistakes at the beginning, in order not to continue to hit the confidence of young people, Mill still replaced him after the opening two minutes and replaced Battier to let the Knicks return to normal.

After taking the ball over, and also giving himself away from the defensive identity, Gong Feng began to dominate the offense, when he saw that Gong Feng did not hand over the ball in the front court at the first time, and directly faced Kobe's defense, Mill smiled and said to Paul next to him: "Look at how Gong Feng behaves, Paul!" ”

Paul, who was a little deflated when he came off the court, heard this sentence that sounded very gentle and encouraging, and directly took the towel off his head and looked at Gong Feng, who was directly facing Kobe's defense on the court.

Paul didn't care about Parker's defense at all, or that Paul found his own confidence in his own team with these championship team members, but he didn't expect that his opening show would even teach an undrafted 'international' player a lesson.

No, it shouldn't be said to be limited by Swash, but it should be said to be limited by the Lakers' overall defense, or by the Lakers' momentum.

Paul really didn't expect that a team's defense could give everyone on the field at the beginning, so much pressure, muscle collision, biting defense, every ball must be fought for...... All of this was so different from what Paul had experienced in the past.

The defense in the NCAA is not too focused on physical confrontation, or the rules and environment in the NCAA league are not to pursue physical collisions, and in practice, the Knicks players only practiced tactics and did not give Paul enough time and experience to get used to this kind of defense.

Mill knew this and started Paul in the first regular-season game of his career, which also allowed some of the arguments to interfere with some Knicks players as little as possible.

With the depth of his squad now, Mir knows his team has reached a new crossroads this season, with what needs to be done, what needs to be prevented, and more to come.

The first-mover change is one of Mir's ideas for the future of the Knicks.

You must know that except for the injury and rotation of players, the Knicks have not changed their five-man starting lineup, but this season, after a long period of careful consideration and in-depth discussion of many players, Mill decided on some practices and judgments this season.

Gong Feng has become the first on-court core of the new season, which is a key change, this time the core is not the core of the past ball control, but the real core of the team who can decide many things independently.

There's no way around it.

In the past two or three stellar seasons, when the core of the Knicks has not been alone, Hill's physical condition has been maintained well, but it has been clearly told that it is impossible for Hill to lead the team forward by himself like he did in the past with the Pistons.

Physical condition, in order to chase the championship victory, Hill after returning from injury, it is impossible to use the entire events of the regular season to do something with high intensity for a long time, even in the season when he averaged a triple-double per game, Hill mainly organized and filled in the gaps, rather than relying on his own scoring to lead the team forward, otherwise there would be no other person competing with Hill for MVP.

In the past three seasons, Hill's single-game scoring may get 40+, but the average points per game is declining year by year, although the decline is not much, it is easy to rise, and it is easy to make Hill attack, but the indisputable fact is that it has declined, which is also certain.

Although Hill can ensure that his data can be maintained in the range of 12+4+4 in the next few years, Mill now clearly knows that Hill has become an indispensable member of the main team of the past championship team, and has become an indispensable one in the future team, but will not be indispensable on the court.

Such a change is already irreversible and inevitable.

This is also an important reason why Mill asked Allen at the end when he renewed Allen's contract, but Mill also knew clearly that Allen could not become the core of a championship team when signing Allen.

The current NBA is about the inside, or efficiency, and it is also about the era when you can score as you get closer to the basket, and the three-point shooter is indispensable for every championship team, but there is absolutely no team that can take the three-point shooter as the core and become the core of a championship team.

Breakthrough players have become more and more valued after this season, which is also one reason, and Hill was the Knicks' name in the past, and in fact, the first person on the team, and Hill's breakthrough and scoring efficiency are unsurpassed by the Knicks.

So in the new season, the first problem Mir faces is, in the new season of the Knicks, when the team is in trouble, who will be the player who can step up and become the new core of the Knicks?

Ray Allen can be trusted, but it can't be the norm, and the shooter is a regular style of play, and it can't be the last resort when it comes to the last bite.

Bosh is too young to even break through the rookie wall and is unlikely to be the centerpiece of the championship Knicks, and in the same way, Paul can't be.

So the Knicks only had two options left.

It's a pity that Yao Ming's potential injury risk has become the most taboo point for Mir, even if Yao Ming trains actively in the summer to maintain his form in the playoffs and finals, the Knicks can't be the absolute core of Yao Ming in the regular season.

Yao Ming's playing time is the most likely point in the regular season that can be exploited.

So Gong Feng seems to have become the only choice?

Yes, there is no mistake in saying this, and Gong Feng is indeed one of the best core candidates for the Knicks right now. As long as Gong Feng can afford to allow the Knicks to maintain their advantage in the regular season, Mill is very willing to see such a scene, and he is very happy to see such a result.

This is a happy result!

It's just that the end result is not something that anyone can control. (To be continued.) )
