The Kings and the Knicks fought fiercely.

But as mentioned earlier, Wahad is gone, Christie has not yet come, and now the shortcomings of this Kings team in defense are obvious, and when encountering a team of average level, you can rely on offense to win, but in front of the powerful Knicks, it will be difficult to play.

Today, the whole Knicks team felt good, and at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 122:145!

The Knicks at home win!

Alan Houston scored 36 points, Garnett 29 points, Maddy 25 points, and Li Wei also broke out off the bench, scoring an astonishing 23 points, 15 assists and 5 steals!

Mike Brin said: "This is really a cross-century offensive battle, the four of us scored 20+, and Coach Lee scored two doubles!" ”

Walter Fraser said: "145 points in a single game is amazing, and such a performance can also be ranked in the top 10 in our team history!" ”

The highest score in the history of the Knicks was scored on December 11, 1959, against the Syracuse Nation, which later became the Philadelphia 76ers, when the score was 152:121, and the Knicks won by a big margin!

In 1970, still facing the Philadelphia 76ers, the Knicks also played a game of 151:106, which was the second-highest score in team history.

Today, the Knicks scored 145 points in a single game, which can be tied for tenth in the team's all-time single-game scoring record, which is quite amazing!

It's also thanks to the Kings' poor defense, otherwise it would not have been possible to score such a high score!

At present, the Knicks are first in the league's scoring list with an average of 111 points per game, and the Kings are second with 105 points.

Defensively, there is also an interesting statistic, the Kings are third behind the Warriors and Clippers who are fighting for the top spot in the rankings, with 102 points, followed by the Knicks in fourth place!

It can be said that both teams are ATMs for the rest of the league in terms of defense!

Actually, the Knicks' defense shouldn't be so bad, they have Garnett and Big Ben on the inside, and Maddie on the outside, all of them are very tough, they can really lock on the outside, they can make up on the inside, and they can top up when they encounter tanks, and they are not afraid of anything!

It's a pity that Li Wei alone dragged the Knicks, who were in the upper reaches of the defense, into a big loser in the league, and no one has this ability, no wonder those experts are always criticizing him!

Now that Nash is injured, Li Wei's playing time has increased, and the Knicks' average points per game are suspected of getting further out of control, what kind of score the team will play, it is estimated that Knicks fans will not feel strange!

After the big win over the Kings, the Knicks' record changed to 33-9.

Not counting the Kings, the Knicks had a half-time record of 32-9, second in the league and first in the East, and Li Wei became the head coach of the Eastern All-Star team without dispute.

In the West, the Lakers lost to the Pacers after a staggering 16-game winning streak and then to the SuperSonics and Trail Blazers, leading the league with a 33-8 halfway record, and Phil Jackson became the undisputed head coach of the Western Conference All-Stars.

"Coach Lee, what do you think about Phil Jackson's election as the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star?"

Li Weidao: "Phil has always been a member of the Knicks family, I respect him, and I think he is the best head coach in the league, and I am very happy to play against him on the big stage of the All-Star team!" ”

Li Wei is very happy, because although the Lakers are the first in the half, they lost to the Jazz and the Rockets in a row in the closing battle at the end of January, and the first place in the league has become the Knicks!

The Rookie of the Year of the Month was won by the top pick Elton Brand, and after an early season adaptation period, Brand averaged 21.4 points per game this month, the highest among any rookie, averaging 12 rebounds per game, and the highest among all rookies with 1.3 blocks per game, second only to Odom and 1.1 steals per game, behind Artest, Vaugh Cummings, Odom, and Francis.

Since both the Lakers and the Knicks lost several games in January, the team with the best record this month was the Timberwolves with 12 wins and 3 losses, and Philip Saunders was voted Coach of the Month!

After Nash's injury, Garnett played very well in a few games, getting 4 triple-doubles in a single month, and the Knicks were the first in the league, so the Player of the Month fell to him!

This is Garnett's first career Player of the Month award, and a superstar is on the rise!

In February, Li Wei directly asked for leave and went home for the New Year.

Among all the head coaches in the league, Li Wei is probably the most leisurely, he can ask for leave whenever he wants, and he can ask for as long as he wants.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is February 4, but Li Wei wants to spend more time with his family, and the team will be handed over to the head assistant coach Byron Scott on the 1st. On the same day, Scott led the team to lose to the Magic by a large score, and called Li Wei to complain: "David, you can't come if you are not in my command!" ”

Li Wei smiled: "You save it, I know you can do it, you can't win, I can't win!" ”

Scott said: "This, mainly because it's not used by point guards!" ”

Li Wei said: "Then you can take off your suit and play by yourself!" ”

Scott: "......"

The Knicks' tactical system is already very complete, even if Byron Scott is not as good as Li Wei on the spot, he is not far behind, this is an old ball skin who has been in the NBA for nearly 20 years, in addition, he has D'Antoni and others next to him as helpers.

The reason why the Knicks lost to the Magic was mainly because the Magic team's defense was too good, which made the players collectively out of shape, no wonder the assistant coach.

On Feb. 3, the Knicks continue to play at home against the Portland Trail Blazers.

This season's Trail Blazers can only be described as perverted. Last season, they renewed the contracts of Sabonis, Rashid Wallace, and Stoudemire with the highest salary, which is terrifying enough, and this season they have recruited Pippen, the second person in the world, Steve Smith, the first scorer of the Hawks, and the German star Detreve Schramf, etc.!

In order to create the most luxurious All-Star roster of the century, the total salary of the Trail Blazers has also broken through the sky, and fortunately there is no need to pay the luxury tax this season, otherwise - otherwise it is not a big deal, and the Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen is not short of money!

However, after the start of the season, the Trail Blazers, whose total salary broke through the sky, did not steal the limelight, and they were only third in the league in terms of record rankings, with the Lakers and Knicks both ahead of them!

This year's salary cap is $34 million, the Knicks' total salary is $56 million, which is second in the league, and the Lakers are $55 million, which is third in the league, but the gap between the two teams and the Trail Blazers, who have a total salary of $74 million, can fit a whole Los Angeles Clippers!

The Trail Blazers obviously can't tolerate the Lakers and Knicks being better than themselves, and today they're going to tell the New Yorkers who the best team is!

New York fans stole out their tickets early, and who wouldn't be looking forward to a showdown between the top teams?

NBC also broadcast the game live!

Li Wei practiced breakthrough layups at home, did not come to the scene, under the attention of 10,000 people, Byron Scott lived up to Li Wei's expectations, and finally led the team to a big victory!

On the other side, the Lakers lost to the Spurs, so the Knicks, who are 34-10, continue to lead the league!

After the Spring Festival, Li Wei continued to spend time with his family at home, and Scott continued to lead the team.

On the 6th, the Knicks defeated the top team in the East, the Heat, on the 7th, they lost back-to-back away games to the Hornets, and on the 9th, the team won away against the Bucks.

On the 12th, All-Star Weekend began.
