While the New York Knicks currently sit first in the East, the second-place Cleveland Cavaliers are eight wins away from them. Basically, the Cavaliers have no chance to catch up!

Everyone wants to take their fate firmly in their own hands, not to mention that the current Knicks still have a record to impact, break the myth of 72-10 in the regular season created by the Red Bulls dynasty, and stand at the top of the league.

To break that record, the Knicks now have only six chances left to make mistakes. So every game is crucial for them!

For this grand goal, the Knicks had to play 120,000 points of attention and even give their best every game.

In the first game after the regular season resumed, the Knicks will host the Houston Rockets.

After the offseason trade, the Rockets are now on a good record and are currently in fifth place in the West.

However, with the two superstars of Yao Ming and Maddy, plus Van Gundy as a championship coach, such a result is obviously difficult to satisfy the Rockets' uniform team.

Fortunately, the team's current big toe has recovered from injury, and Maddy, Jim Jackson, and Jumai Howard are back in shape, and they have won six in a row before the All-Star break.

Maddy, in particular, has returned to the same heroic form as he was when he won the scoring title last season after experiencing the ups and downs of the initial period when he first joined the Rockets. In the previous six games, he averaged 35.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, making the entire league exclaim that God possessed.

For tonight's game, the media in the American sports world also paid enough attention. On the day of the game, dozens of media outlets gathered behind the basketball hoop in the Madison Square Garden arena early.

"Fight!

"Fight!

Once again, the familiar battle cry rang out in the Madison Square Garden arena. After a five-day hiatus, the impatient fans who had been waiting for a long time finally had the time to revel.

Listening to the familiar slogan, the Knicks fans at the scene also erupted into a shocking roar: "Fight!

At the front of the pack is Anderson, the Birdman who replaces Dampoter, followed by Billups, the brains of the team, followed by the outside defensive gate Sean Battier, followed by Devin Wade, who became an All-Star for the first time this year, and finally the leader of New York, the leader of the Knicks, Lamar Odom.

"Fight!

"Fight!

As Lamar roared, the fans became more and more excited. At this time, no one was sitting in the entire Madison scene, and at this moment the fans just wanted to completely release their inner passion.

With every shout from Lamar, a tsunami of solidarity was triggered. The fans are shouting and roaring in their own way, cheering for the team in their own way, and giving the opponent the most cruel shock.

Coach K stood on the sidelines and watched Lamar cause the first wave of sensation on the scene and push the atmosphere to a peak before the game started, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Coach K agreed to coach the Knicks solely because he didn't want to miss the opportunity to coach Lamar.

In Coach K's mind, Lamar is really the kind of natural leader, a natural king! Such a player should stand in the center of the pitch and be worshiped by everyone.

"Okay, guys! Solve the opponent as fast as possible and let them know that this is our territory! Let them know that in our chassis, they can only pout their butts and get kicked!" Coach K has now changed his image in the NCAA and completely integrated into the Knicks family, becoming the military advisor of the Knicks.

In fact, this is also very understandable, since the New York Knicks are called the New York gangsters by fans, then Coach K, as the head coach, is naturally a dog-headed military advisor who advises these bandits. Of course, Coach K himself doesn't think so, he always thinks that he is a marshal who commands thousands of troops!

At the beginning of the game, Anderson stood at the jump point, although he couldn't beat the little giant who was a lot taller, but the Houston Rockets' offense could not be organized.

As soon as the basketball was put into Alston's hands, Lamar cut the ball off.

Battier leaped to the ball in his arms and passed it to Lamar.

Lamar was not greedy in the face of the bag defense of Yakunaya and Maddy, and threw the ball towards the basket, and Anderson, who followed up in the back row, slammed the ball with both hands.

"Wow!"

The fans, who had not yet recovered from Lamar's appearance ceremony just now, stood up again, waving their arms and roaring loudly, this goal was really cool.

"Well done!"

Lamar gave Anderson a thumbs up, much to Anderson's flattery. Although this is not the first time Lamar has recognized his performance, it has calmed Anderson's originally apprehensive heart a lot.

With the sudden rise of Milicic, Anderson, who has always been arrogant, also felt a sense of crisis. While he knows Lamar won't abandon him, he also knows that a defensive player like him is bound to be less popular than an attacking player like Milicic.

However, with tonight's beating Milicic as the team's starting center, coupled with Lamar's praise just now, Anderson also suddenly realized that a super interior with super offensive ability like Lamar needs a defensive interior like Dampot and himself the most, which can complement Lamar.

After thinking about it, Anderson felt a little more confident in his competition with Milicic, and he immediately became energetic.

The Rockets were taken by the Knicks first, so they naturally refused to give in like that. In turn, when it was their turn to attack, the basketball was passed to the drug name in the first place.

Although he has just returned from injury, with the experience of recent years, the little giant has not only soared in strength, but also has more experience. Seeing that the strong attack didn't work, Yao Ming decisively passed the ball to the outside Maddie's hand after attracting the opponent's defense.

Maddy, with the help of Jumai Howard's pick-and-roll, got rid of Battier and hit a three-point shot before Wade defended to help the Rockets overtake the score.

The score was overtaken, which stimulated the Knicks' fighting spirit even more.

Just five seconds later, Lamar was in the same position, completely ignoring Maddy's block and hitting a three-pointer.

Although Maddy's recent state is like a god of war possession, Maddie has never liked to defend very much, and Van Gundy's overload of him in the last dozen games has also caused Maddy's physical problems a little.

So in the battle with Lamar just now, Maddie, who wanted to be lazy, completely fell behind in defense, and could only watch Lamar as if he was nailed in the air, and easily hit three points.

With Lamar's strong response, the lead returned to the Knicks' side. And from this moment on, this advantage never slipped through their hands again.

Maddy's breakaway was then fouled by Battier.

After re-serving, Battier hit a shot from Lamar to extend the Knicks' lead to four points.

Immediately after that, Jumai Howard missed a mid-range shot from the free throw line, and Anderson grabbed the rebound and handed it directly to Lamar.

Lamar received the ball and played a dragon again, Alston's defense, which was as fragile as air in his eyes.

"Bang!", Lamar scored a dunk, and the Knicks' momentum had completely overwhelmed the Rockets.

"Don't back off, defend on the spot, finish them in one go!" Lamar suddenly yelled after the goal, leaving all his teammates in the Rockets' half.

The Knicks actually wanted to press the Rockets all over the court.

The Rockets' players were also angered by Lamar's words of contempt, especially Alston. After the basketball was in his hands, he wanted to return the favor to Lamar with the same dragon and make Lamar lose face again.

But one thing Alston has forgotten is that while he is the undisputed king of streetball on the streets of New York, this is Madison!

Alstom's streetball skills were dazzling and dazzling in the eyes of fans, but in Lamar's eyes, they were flawed and useless.

"Smack!", Lamar broke the ball!

In the Rockets' half, Lamar successfully broke the ball, and the Knicks' players seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and almost at the moment Lamar broke the ball, they began to turn and rush towards the Rockets' basket.

Lamar took a few quick steps to get the ball in his hands before Jim Jackson. Then he threw the ball forward with both hands, and Billups, who had already raced to the basket, got the ball and jumped up for a layup, and the Knicks scored two more points.

Immediately after Billups and Lamar joined forces to press, the street ball king who was in a panic made another mistake in his pass and passed the ball directly to the sidelines.

Birdman Anderson quickly sent a throw-in, Lamar singled out the drug under the basket and dunked the hand.

Ten points!

Just two minutes into the game, the Knicks were already 10 points ahead. This made Van Gundy, the head coach of the Rockets, who was ready to fight a tough battle, or a battle of revenge, a little incredulous.

Van Gundy could only reluctantly call a timeout and replaced the hot-headed Alston with David Wesley, hoping to use Wesley's experience to control the tempo on the court, curb the Knicks' madness, and help the team move back to the disadvantage.

It's a pity that Van Gundy's wishful thinking can only be in vain, the Knicks who started to sprint with all their strength are not a person who can make them stop, this gang of bandits is now excited, one by one as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, pretending to be crazy tigers.
