The Knicks' schedule really looks a little easier at the start of the new season. ? U8??? .?U 8 X S 'C?O?M?throughout November, with the exception of the first part of the road trip, most of their matches will be played on home soil, and the opponents they will face are indeed not very strong teams.

Of course, this is not the league's good intentions, and the easier the game is in the beginning, the more difficult it will be for the Knicks to be in a difficult position when all the teams start to sprint for a playoff spot.

Lamar and Knicks management certainly know why.

It is not in the interest of the NBA to have a team that is too strong and can monopolize the league. Only the situation of competing for hegemony and rising together is the most ideal situation in David Stern's heart, because only in that way can the competitiveness of the NBA be reflected, and more people will be willing to pay attention to the NBA.

It's just that the old Jewish man's careful thinking is no longer a disturbance for the Knicks, and the Knicks who rushed at full speed are not something that anyone can resist.

The Knicks' next opponent is the Atlanta Hawks, a team that Lamar once commented on why it has not improved at this time. The only change is that spring men have been drafted this year, and Smith and Childridis have been drafted, and the Hawks are significantly more dynamic than last season.

Whether it's scoring or defending, these two rookies who are used to working in the sky are all working hard, and they feel as if they have eaten Xuanmai and can never stop.

Lamar is not surprised by this situation, anyone needs a period of growth, but unfortunately some people can endure the hardships of this period, and some people can't endure this hardship.

107：89！

The Atlanta Hawks held out until the end, but they still couldn't escape defeat.

Childridis had a very average performance in the game, scoring just nine points in the game. But the new Hawks Josh Smith has done well, and he has effectively taken over the baton from the team's leader.

In this game, Josh Smith scored 22 points on inside and outside shots, in addition to 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, but in the face of the Knicks' all-out offense, the new Hawks were unable to support themselves, and they tried their best but still could not save the team's defeat.

On November 17, the Knicks, who returned to their home court, welcomed Charlotte Bobcats, a newcomer who had just joined the NBA.

The young Bobcats showed a new look, and the young Kombat Whirlwind duo of Lindro, Barbossa and Knight didn't bring much good luck to the equally young Bobcats.

The lack of experience, coupled with the gap in strength, still made the Bobcats lose the opportunity to win after the first three quarters of the game.

Barbossa is brave and slightly less intelligent, Okafor is talented and inexperienced, Knight is more than flexible and has a congenital regret, and Gerard Wallace is fierce defensively and rough offensively. Although the Bobcats robbed all the teams in the league in the offseason, they did not have enough foundation.

What's even more tragic is that tonight they also met the red-eyed Knicks, in Lamar's eyes there is no sympathy for this statement, any stumbling block that dares to stop the Knicks is destined to be kicked away.

"I'm very disappointed with the result, we tried our best but we still couldn't get the result we wanted. The Knicks are great, but I still don't agree with other people, they're not invincible. We've got a chance to beat them, but this time we missed, and next time we're going to come back, and I'm sure the winner will be us, just as I've always believed that I'm going to replace Lamar as the best interior player in this league. ”

Unlike those players who felt sorry for themselves when they were beaten by Lamar, even if they failed, Emeka Okafor still showed a strong fighting spirit, and she couldn't even forget to challenge Lamar again at the end.

People may think that this rookie is arrogant and ignorant, but Lamar admires Okafor's character and responds directly to Okafor's challenge when facing reporters.

With Lamar's current position, the challenges of those young people are basically ignored, except for those of old opponents. No one expected that this time he would attach so much importance to Okafor.

"I took the challenge of a rookie, he's a very talented young man and I think if he can focus more on improving himself instead of fighting with words, he will grow into a good player. As for his challenge, I have just said that I will accept it, and I will wait for him to challenge my position. If he's strong enough, I don't mind putting him in my position!"

Of course, people don't think that Okafor's current ability is enough to shake Lamar's position, but they are still excited to see that there are still people willing to challenge Lamar. It's just that this challenger looks a little bit more dish.

With the win over the Bobcats, the Knicks are one win ahead of the Chicago Bulls, who have just gone through a two-game losing streak.

While the Knicks solidified their position, they also got the good news that the Knicks' request to the league for injury after Hilario's season reimbursement was agreed.

Although Mourning has played well on the interior during this time, his injury has always been the focus of attention for the Knicks. After all, Mo Ning is old, and although he has recovered from a major injury, it is inevitable that there will be repetitions in long-term high-intensity games.

Although Anderson has maintained a good attendance rate in recent seasons, he has always struggled to integrate into Coach K's offensive tactics.

Although Patrick is nominally a Knicks player, with his current competitive state, he is more in the locker room or the coaching staff.

The performance of the three on the team is satisfactory in the eyes of Coach K, but in order to prevent injuries, Coach K still hopes that the Knicks can also stock up an emergency player on the free market in case of emergency.

As for Milicic, hehe, this guy has long been excluded from Coach K's rotation list.

In Coach K's opinion, this pick is still in the black list before Wade, and the black list is simply a lump of mud that can't be supported on the wall, not to mention a glass heart, and he is not serious or active in training, and it is almost as soft as noodles when he fights inside. It's really that he has grown so big in vain, and he is blind to God giving him such a good talent.

Well, now that the league has agreed to the Knicks' injury exception, then the Knicks can use the money to go to the free market to find a strength inside line and come back, adding another important piece of the puzzle to the team's roster.

In the next home game against the Pacers, Coach K couldn't wait to put Anderson in the main lineup.

In a sense, this game can be called Simmons' revenge battle. When he was with the Knicks, Simmons had a very average relationship with his teammates because he had defected from the past. This time, Simmons went through some small twists and turns, which completely broke the already weak relationship between the two parties.

After the game started, Simmons was bent on competing with Battier. In the first half alone, the two men had several verbal altercations, and at one point if it wasn't for Lamar to stop them, both men would have had to fight it out over fists.

As a result, near the end of the third quarter of the game, the conflict between the two finally broke out. This time Lamar didn't act as a peacemaker again.

During one of Lamar's driving layups, Simmons suddenly hooked Lamar's arm from behind, and the two fell to the ground together. As a result, Lamar's eyebrow bone was broken open and blood flowed profusely.

Lamar, who has been trying to ease the relationship between the two sides since the start of the match, was reluctant to show his generosity this time, and wanted to rush to Simmons to show his toughness when he stood up. It's a pity that Lamar is still a beat slower, and Battier, who has been swallowing his anger for a long time, rushed to fire before Lamar broke out.

Battier saw Simmons do this to Lamar after teasing him, rushed forward and pushed Simmons hard, and even wanted to punch Simmons to teach Simmons a lesson. It's a pity that he was hugged by Dampot and Wade.

The end result was two people who were emotionally out of control and were sent off together.

After losing Battier, the Knicks' perimeter defense didn't crumble as much as it used to. Prince, under the command of Coach K, did a good job of supporting the Knicks' outside defense.

And the Knicks bandits, who had long been holding back their anger, of course, could not give up on this, and they completely vented their anger on their opponents.

The Pacers, who lost Simmons, were not so lucky, and a fiasco was inevitable.

The Knicks, who have won nine in a row, continue to cement their spot at the top of the Eastern Conference, and now it looks like no one can stop them from moving forward.

After the victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Knicks' winning streak has reached 15 games, and the victory over the opponent in the game against the main rival has also made their position in the first place in the East more secure.

Although the process of the game seemed a little thrilling, the final result was very satisfying.

In particular, the attitude of the fans towards Coach K is getting better and better. After all, the Knicks' opponents before were not a strong team, and it was reasonable to win.

The Los Angeles Lakers, on the other hand, have a skinny camel bigger than a horse, as the saying goes. The Lakers lost Big Shark O'Neal, old postman Karl Malone and Gary Payton in the offseason. But the starters composed of boxing champion Tyson Chandler, iron-blooded warrior Caron Butler, sharpshooter Joe Johnson, Xiaoyu Fisher and Black Mamba Kobe were not bad at all.

The most important thing is that now the core of the Los Angeles Lakers is clear, and the team is united. So the current Lakers, to be honest, can be regarded as a strong opponent on the way to the Knicks defending their title in the new season, both in terms of strength and current record.
