This season's Knicks are aiming for the Eastern Conference Finals.

They know that whether they face the Bulls or the Magic, the team has a lineup that is outmatched, and it is very difficult to win, but the team has a big three after all.

Compared with the Bulls' Jordan Pippen, the Magic's penny Webb has one more core and an extra superstar salary. The team's management can certainly hope that they can push their limits and reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

At least in the East, except for the Bulls and Magic, the other teams are at the same level as them at most.

This is Jeff Van Gundy's third season at the helm of the New York Knicks.

He took over at the end of the first season and played only 23 games and won 10 of them.

In the second season, Allan Houston and Larry Johnson were brought in, and they won 57 games.

This season, the management's goal is to get 60 wins!

Under the guidance of Van Gundy, the team has built an offensive and defensive system with Ewing as the core, and it is very iron-blooded, and there are players like Alan Houston on the offensive end, and the support of fans is the highest in recent years.

New York is one of the largest ball markets in the league, and in the case of years of rotten in later generations, New York still has the highest market value in the league, which shows how terrifying the spending power of fans is in the Big Apple.

"It's so prosperous." Entering New York City, this is a completely different look from Los Angeles for all the players.

Towering buildings, elites in suits and leather shoes, luxury cars everywhere, and homeless people living on the streets make for a masterpiece of magicalism.

"Who is the best mid-range pitcher in the league, Kobe Bryant or me? I'll let him know about this game. Alan Houston was repeatedly pressed by the media, but he still spoke his inner words.

"Patrick is the strongest, and Shaq, that little fat man, can't even shoot free throws, so he dares to call himself the first center?" Jordan's former number one hitter, Charles Oakley, shouted.

"That's right, our Alan and Patrick are the best inside and outside combinations in the league!" The media in New York has always been arrogant.

Prior to the game against the Lakers, a lot of rumors were generated between the two top traffic teams.

Insiders have expressed their amusement, is it possible for New York to win against the Lakers?

Yes, even the worst team can beat a strong opponent. There is no weak team in American professional basketball, and these players are the best players on the planet.

But what are the odds?

Look at the current state of the Lakers, unless there is an extremely low probability event that Kobe O'Neal is beaten to six fouls. The Lakers' margin for error is simply too high!

They had several ways to beat the Knicks, without even having too many hole cards.

"Alright, guys, enjoy the show at Madison Square Garden." Harris was calm and composed before the game, although New York is a top team, but compared with the current Lakers, it is a little unqualified.

"Good!" The Lakers are highly motivated! The Big Apple, live broadcast across the United States, the attention of countless wealthy businessmen and celebrities, the holy land of basketball!

This kind of stage is not available all the time, and the clamor of the opponent before the game undoubtedly makes the Lakers' players full of fighting spirit.

Don't just win!

And win beautifully!

When O'Neill and Ewing met, the eyes of the two instantly collided.

"Boy, you're fat." Ewing teased.

"Huh." O'Neill doesn't want to defend himself anymore, fat is fat, every time he meets an acquaintance, he has to be ridiculed, he is used to it.

Ewing knew that O'Neill had snatched the crown of the era of the king of the inside line from Hakim last year, and the throne of the king of kings already belonged to the young man in front of him.

But Ewing was not convinced!

It's not like the successful Olajuwon! Ewing hasn't won a championship yet.

Coaches changed one after another, teammates changed wave after wave. But he never won the championship, which is an eternal pain in Ewing's heart, and the peak of his career is not a few years away. Ewing knows that if he wants to win the championship, the last chance is in the past few years.

War!

If you want to become the true king of kings, then convince us old fellows!

"The Lakers' starting lineup is different from the last game against the Jazz – Kobe, Jones, Bowen, Campbell, O'Neal."

"The starting lineup of the Knicks – Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing."

"Ewing has dropped his stats last season, but he's still unstoppable in the playoffs. After all, the four centers are the four centers, and they strongly suppressed Mo Ning. ”

"Let's see Ewing this season, how is it doing?"

The referee tossed the ball high, and two prehistoric monsters, the gorilla and the shark, jumped up at the same time!

The basketball was pointed to the Lakers' side by O'Neal, but the gap between Ewing and him was almost a millimeter!

"Patrick was in very good shape in this game."

"Looks very energetic."

Bryant advances with the ball.

Charlie Ward, this 1.88-meter defender, posted up!

Want a steal!

Bryant smiled dismissively.

Dribble in the back!

Pull the ball from behind the left to the right and take a single step past Charlie Ward.

Rush!

Breakthrough is always more lethal than projection!

Oakleigh assists in defense.

Kobe Bryant worships Buddha and shakes Oakley! Another Mencius plunged into the basket!

Jump!

"Don't think!" Ewing, the gorilla, waved his big hand and sealed Kobe's sky.

Kobe Bryant twists his body into a spinning top!

Straight into the air from Ewing's side, he gently threw the ball into the air.

"Boom!"

O'Neill Tyrannosaurus rex-like! Fill the basket with both hands!

2:0, OK used a classic combination to score the first goal of the game.

"The whole audience is pressing! Appeared! The Lakers used full-court pressing as soon as they opened! ”

"Panic! The Knicks were flustered with the ball! Basketball is in the hands of Alan Houston! ”

"Eddie Jones' defence is very fast! His defensive skills have become even more aggressive after last year's epic battles and the ravages of some of the top stars! ”

"The king of the pitch didn't dare to dribble and passed the ball!"

"Bowen steals! Bowen blocked all the receiving lines of Aunt Larry Johnson! ”

"Pass it to Kobe! Kobe Bryant picks up and throws! ”

"Three points! The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit a three-point shot! 5：0！ ”

"Charlie Ward accelerates with the ball! He tried to use his height and speed to get past Kobe! Kobe Bryant hit Charlie Ward directly with his chest! Dropped the ball in the confrontation! ”

"Kobe Bryant lifts the ball into the air! Eddie Jones catches the ball! ”

"Pass the ball from behind, Kobe plugs in!"

"Kobe Bryant slammed the ball to the floor, and the basketball hit the floor and bounced to the rebound!"

"Eddie Jones is in the air waiting for the ball! Tomahawk Split! ”

"Crazy! Hit crazy! The Lakers gave the Knicks 7:0 at the beginning! ”

"The Knicks look so vulnerable to the Lakers!"
