After the end of the Christmas game, New York once again got a small period of repair, which is precious for the current New York, especially for Van Gundy, after the last finals to speed up, Mo Xi's performance on the court made Van Gundy feel something, it seems that if he can grasp it steadily, the Knicks' tactical system will be different, but Van Gundy did not come up with good tactics for a while, so he simply increased the proportion of Mo Xi's low tactics in the game.

After a two-day break, on the 28th, the New York Knicks left for Cleveland.

Cleveland is now a complete sports desert, and the period when they challenged the gang leader is over, and then there is still a year left before their talented "James has to give me a hand" period (Ricky Davis broke out next season), and James is still fighting in high school to compete with his good friend Melo for the title of the best high school student.

In the current Cavaliers team, there is actually no real boss, because the strongest of them is only averaging 15 points per game, but there are two characters among them who have to be mentioned.

The first of them is Ricky Davis, the legendary spicy man, in fact, except for personality problems, Ricky Davis's strength is still strong enough, but he can't be the leader of the team, but he can serve as the sixth man under the Celtics' six-man system, the strength is there, but not strong enough.

As for the other, he's probably the most traditional of the traditional point guards, and he's Andre Miller. It was this season that he won the assist title, and he has a similar style to Mark Jackson, both are pass-first point guards, and they are equally good at back playing, and most importantly, he is young enough.

However, when such a lineup faces the Knicks again, even their coach John Lucas really can't find any strong points in them. So the Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 99-87. In this game, the Knicks Trident was a normal game, with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, Houston 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, and Sprewell 20 points, obviously dealing with teams outside the playoff roster at a mid-table level in the East, which didn't make the Knicks feel much excited. However, the Cavaliers were not without bright spots in this game, and the strongest shining point came in Andre Miller, who although he still did not score three points, he was slightly better in the duel with Mark Jackson to learn his back-to-back skills. Cut a false triple-double, 25 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists.

No one was surprised that the Knicks' victory over the Cavaliers was taken for granted, and even the Knicks' next opponent was not too strong, so before they knew it, the Knicks started their rhythm.

On December 30, the Knicks faced the Orlando Magic led by Maddy in New York, where Maddy, like his cousin, experienced the feeling of being invincible with two fists and four hands, and Maddy's 29 points were extremely helpless in the face of the Knicks' trio scoring 66 points. The brothers were bullied by the Knicks one by one with group beating tactics, and they said that this field would be found sooner or later.

The Knicks are now on a three-game winning streak, and they'll face a slightly tougher test next. The New York Knicks will sit at home to face the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks in the West Texas Final Three.

Although the current Dallas Mavericks are not the strongest, the big frame of Dallas has been built. Nowitzki, Finley, Nash, Juwan Howard plus the "Beetle" Tim Hardaway from Miami, it can be said that whether it is a starter or a substitute, the strength of the Mavericks is at the forefront of the league and belongs to a member of the championship ranks, plus the madness of Nelson Sr., no one can guess where this Mavericks can go, you must know that although people are clamoring for defense to be supreme and defense to win championships, but in the face of the madness of Old Nelson, everyone has to make a sudden break in their hearts.

Now the Dallas Mavericks are 22-9 and ranked second in the West, and in fact, the top four wins in the West are now above 20, the Kings, Lakers, Spurs and Mavericks, as the leading group in the West, have distanced themselves from other groups at the beginning of the season, and these four teams have reached a peak both in terms of lineup and tactics, especially the Kings. Many people who have been watching the game for a long time have a big prejudice against this year's Lakers-Kings series, but the wise will see the wise, so I won't say much here.

The key point is that, no matter how you look at it, the Knicks are very dangerous against the Mavericks. Not to mention the comparison between Nelson and Van Gundy, the confrontation in various positions alone makes the Knicks feel like they are dancing on the tip of a knife.

Whether it's Thomas, Camby or Moxi, they obviously can't stop Nowitzki, and Juwan Howard has the ability to defend three positions, and Finley will also involve a lot of energy from Sprewell, so that the Knicks' biggest weapon defense has been torn apart, and it is really chilling to want to fight with the old Nelson's team to attack.

When he arrived in New York, Nelson even more aggressively declared that he was here to take away the victory, and at the same time had a psychological war against the Knicks.

"Now the Knicks are in the sixth position in the East, but in fact, they are not stable, they rely on a series of games against weak teams to improve the record, and this can also see a lot of problems, just like Van Gundy will not lead the team at all, he has a group of offensive and defensive players under him, but he just clings to the defense and does not let go, wasting the offensive talent of the players in vain, of course, Houston's offense is not cultivated by him, Mo Xi is more like Ewing taught, uh, I know what you have to say, you are still young, Ewing's footsteps in the past were also very good, but I guess you were still very young at that time, I can't understand, let's continue to talk about Van Gundy's problem, whether it is Sprewell or Thomas, he has positioned them directly as pure defensive players, Sprewell still has offensive power, and is a breakthrough player in the Knicks, but this is much lower than when he was in the Warriors, you must know that he is the kind of person you just need to put him on the court, and then you don't have to care, He's the one who can surprise you on both ends of the floor, and likewise, for Thomas's tactics, he's so simple, there's only one option to pull up the high shot after the pick-and-roll, my God, even when we played decades ago, there wasn't such a simple and boring tactic......"

Old Nelson is not responsible at all, why is he irresponsible? Because in the end, he didn't know what he was talking about, so he just blocked the other party anyway.

Nelson Sr.'s intentions are very insidious, because the Mavericks are also the same as the Knicks, the interior staff has suffered injury troubles, their main center Bradley is injured, and if he wants to come back, it is estimated that there will be a long time, Nelson Sr. simply diverted everyone's attention, and then began to experiment with his crazy tactics while others were staring at other places.

In a tense atmosphere, the Knicks welcome the Mavericks to visit at Madison Square Garden in New York.

As a pity that he also entered the league in the shrinking season, Nowitzki still has a great good feeling, two people with a center, a big forward, the style is one inside and one outside, but it is also correspondingly complementary, since you can't be teammates, then divide the winners and losers on this field.
