Because of the super storm in the offseason, many people have set their sights on the Los Angeles Lakers in the eye of the storm, and even the Mavericks, Timberwolves, etc., who have made big moves in the offseason. But after more than half a month, especially when the time entered late November, people suddenly turned their attention and put it back on the defending champion New York Knicks, quietly, the Knicks have won ten consecutive wins, including the Pacers, Nets and other first-class teams, and more importantly, people found that the opponent of the eleventh game of the New York Knicks is the legendary super battleship, the Los Angeles Lakers. And more importantly, whether it is the Lakers or the Knicks, both sides are fully healthy.

The Lakers F4 will travel to the East Coast to take on defending champion New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, carrying the likes of Derek Fisher, Devin George and the high-profile Wharton Jr.

Knicks Murphy, Latril, Sprewell, Houston, Jason Williams, Arenas plus super rookie Anthony, are obviously lacking in star flavor, and they seem to be faintly weakened in terms of strength, in short, the Knicks seem to be far inferior to the Lakers on paper.

However, Phil Jackson doesn't think so. With a thick stack of scouting reports in his hand, Phil Jackson didn't rest even when he sat on the plane, he didn't know how many pages he had turned to in this report, and he could memorize almost every word, but he still looked at it intently, hoping to see some clues from the clues that he hadn't noticed before.

In ten games, the Knicks won at least one of the opponent's eight points, and the rest were all above ten points, and the eight points were the New Jersey Nets, which were forced by the Nets to grind the score to 90 points, which can be regarded as the Knicks' season low.

The most striking of the Knicks' various statistics is that their interior scoring is as high as 50 points, accounting for nearly half of the team's scores, not only because of the existence of the interior killer, but also because the Knicks have increased the proportion of high-post blocking tactics and strengthened the proportion of impact under the basket, and the shooting score has been greatly reduced compared with the past few seasons, but in contrast, the Knicks' ability to create damage is now better than before.

Phil Jackson pondered for a moment, if you don't look at anything else, just from the analysis of the team's performance, the Knicks type of team is precisely restrained by the Lakers. With O'Neal and Karl Malone, there doesn't seem to be much need to worry about problems on the inside, even if these two men, like Moxi, are often overlooked for their dominance on the defensive end because of their superior offensive prowess.

But Phil Jackson is not happy at all, because the Knicks also have a historic super center on the team, and the irreplaceable founder of this rising dynasty, Moxi.

In ten games, Mo Xi's average playing time was only 35 minutes per game, but he was able to average 30 points, 14 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game, shooting 58% from the field and a sensational 87% from the free throw line.

Phil Jackson doesn't even doubt that even in the face of Malone and O'Neal at the same time, Mo Xi can still cut the same data, twenty-seven years old, Mo Xi is in the prime of his life, no matter how you look at it, Mo Xi still has higher and farther boundaries to challenge, just like Van Gundy said when he left the Knicks, he is very happy to coach Mo Xi in his lifetime, because he is young, because he is far from growing to his peak, so no one can guess where will be his limit, which is the most frightening part of Mo Xi.

In fact, Phil Jackson is not without means to deal with Moxi, but the current Knicks are indeed a little difficult to deal with, in addition to Moxi, they also have a Ratlif on the inside, which is an interior defensive iron gate that does not lose to the peak Mutombo, Sprewell and Kobe Bryant on the outside are-for-tat, plus Houston, the mid-range shooting king, as well as new signing Williams, Arenas and Anthony on the bench, the Knicks' firepower is strong enough, and they lose too much defensively to the past steel Knicks.

Ratliff averaged 30 minutes per game, 7.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and, most importantly, 3.1 blocks per game. In the words of Barkley, who mixed up with the guests, the Knicks' inside line this time is really porcelain, which X mother raised the idea.

Sprewell averaged 15.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, Houston averaged 16 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, Arenas averaged 29 minutes per game, 16.4 points and 4.4 assists, Carmelo Anthony averaged 21 minutes per game, 14.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists, Jason Williams averaged 30 minutes per game, 8.8 points and 7.1 assists, and Wang Zhizhi averaged 5.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.

In addition to Mo Xi, the real Knicks offensive group can also score 76.1 points, and these people's offensive methods are endless, and the Knicks are definitely diverse on the offensive end.

The Knicks usually use a nine-to-10 rotation, and the above eight people are Nazr Mohammed, Witherspoon and Reggie Evans who are on the court or on the court, and the role of these three is still the same, which is rebounding.

The materials compiled through the ten games are in front of Phil Jackson, and more materials are still being studied in the hands of the assistant coaches. Even with such a formidable team, Phil Jackson is by no means arrogant to the point of exhaustion, although many teams see the Lakers this season as the number one rival or target, but that does not mean that he has forgotten that this team was created with the goal of beating the New York Knicks.

It's a bit tricky.

Phil Jackson gently squeezed his temples, trying not to let others see the anxiety in his heart, the Lakers' record at the beginning of the season is also very ideal, eight wins and three losses, but the Knicks' ten-game winning streak is really perfect, obviously the offseason has been sniping the Knicks in many ways, but who would have thought that the Knicks would still escape, and more importantly, the Knicks' first-round pick was not pressed, which is not in line with David Stern's character, Anthony, who has the best breakup in 03, No matter how you look at the current lineup of the Knicks, it looks like a spring shine, in his opinion, the biggest instability factor for the Knicks is the arrangement of the internal role, once Sprewell or Arenas is dissatisfied with the current tactical position, then the Knicks have to make passive changes.

But these are always off-the-beaten-track moves, and Phil Jackson needs a decision that can beat the Knicks right now.

The Los Angeles Lakers' plane arrives at the New York airport.

A much-anticipated battle of the century is about to begin.
