On Nov. 29, the Knicks lost to the Suns again at home, with a 0-15 record, two games shy of tying the Heat's worst start in history.

On this day at the end of the month, Li Wei gave the whole team a day off, and then the results of the first month's awards also came out.

November's Player of the Month is Eddie Jones of the Los Angeles Lakers, who is a top-notch offensive and defensive player, and Kobe Bryant is playing him off the bench.

The Rookie of the Month of the month is Tim Duncan of the Spurs.

As a rookie, Duncan was not afraid of the stage at all, averaging a double-double of 15.2 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in his first month. The Nets' Van Horn, the Knicks' Big Z and others were also nominated for Rookie of the Month.

Although Big Z was drafted into the NBA last year, he was reimbursed for the entire season, and this is his first season in the NBA, so he is counted as a rookie this year.

In the standings, the Hawks are in first place with 14 wins and 2 losses, while the Lakers and SuperSonics are in second and third place with 13 wins and 2 losses and 13 wins and 3 losses, respectively.

Because of his outstanding record, the head coach of the Eagles, Ranny Wilkens, the head coach of the Thousand Miles, was elected Head Coach of the Month!

The New York media commented: "It's a pity that the NBA only evaluates the best, not the worst, otherwise this is a bumper month for Li Wei, and the worst player, the worst rookie, and the worst coach will all be in his pocket!" ”

Of course, Li Wei doesn't mind the ridicule of the media, but someone will.

On December 1st, a sensational event occurred.

The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs for three years since Don Nelson's departure, and at the end of last season, they fired Rick Adelman and brought in P. Adelman. J. Callesimo!

Callesimo is an NCAA coach and has a good record after taking over the Trail Blazers. Now as the head coach of the Warriors, he is full of ambition to lead the team to the playoffs!

It's a pity that reality threw him a hard slap in the face!

With 1 win and 13 losses, the Knicks, who currently have a worse record than them in the league, are only 0-15, and even the Nuggets with 1 win and 12 losses will lose one less game than them!

On the morning of December 1, the Warriors conducted intra-team training, and Sprewell, who was the leader of the team and an All-Star, walked into the arena lazily and practiced carelessly.

Callesimo yelled at Sprewell to make his pass more crisp, and Sprewell said I'm not in the mood to listen to your comments right now, give me a walk.

Callesimo got closer and closer, and continued to yell at him.

Angry, Sprewell threw away the basketball in his hand and rushed at Callesimo, choking him by the neck.

If it weren't for the fact that other players pulled Sprewell away in time after more than ten seconds, Callesimo would likely have become the first head coach in the NBA to be strangled to death by a player.

What's even funnier is that Sprewell returned to the training ground 20 minutes later and added another combination of Callesimo.

The throat lock incident frightened the Warriors, shocked the league, and angered league president David Stern.

This isn't the first vicious incident in the NBA. On January 17 this year, when the Bulls faced the Timberwolves, Rodman fell out of bounds when he grabbed the ball, and he was actually angry with a photojournalist on the sidelines and kicked people out on a stretcher.

He was suspended for 11 games and fined $25,000 after the incident.

On June 18 this year, Oakley had an argument with Li Wei, who was the president of the Knicks at the time, and was injured in the leg by Li Wei's bodyguard, and then banned for 20 games!

Now Sprewell continues to fight against the wind and almost strangles the coach, and the impact is too bad. In order to ensure the safety of the coaches of other NBA teams, heavy penalties must be allowed!

After announcing a 10-day suspension, the Warriors directly canceled the remaining three years of his contract with Sprewell, totaling $23.7 million!

David Stern announced that Sprewell would be banned for a full year!

Then, the players' union went out of business.

The players' union, an organization dedicated to defending the interests of players, has seen its executive chairman, Billy Hunt, travel around and hold press conferences to help Sprewell salvage the impact and apply for arbitration.

Sprewell isn't the first to choke a leader's neck, and Detroit Pistons' Elvin Robertson has previously locked the throat of McKinney, the team's general manager, but not the!

Oakley beat the team's president in the summer and only banned 20 games!

The Coalition's punishment for Spreville is too heavy!

Hunter's proposal was upheld by the arbitrators, and in John Felik's ruling, Sprewell's suspension was limited to the remaining 68 games of the 1997-98 season without a need to extend until December 4, 1998, and the Warriors had to continue to enforce Sprewell's three-year contract.

Billy Hunt's win over David Stern for the player means he will be more confident in the collective bargaining next summer, and the shadow of the shutdown is deeper.

Li Wei certainly doesn't care about Billy Hunt's feud with David Stern.

In his previous life, as a fan, he had heard about the throat lock incident, but he was not touched, and after becoming a coach in this life, he experienced this incident again, and suddenly realized that being a coach was still quite dangerous.

Fortunately, Callesimo has a thick neck and can resist pinching, if he is replaced with thin arms and thin legs, he will definitely die.

In the future, when choosing players, you can't just look at your skills, character is also very important, he secretly congratulated himself that he didn't scold Stephen Jackson, otherwise he would have hanged!

Li Wei was a little worried, Stephen Jackson regarded Li Wei as a black boss, and it was impossible to pinch his neck. However, his team-building philosophy slowly changed because of this.

Li Wei is increasingly realizing that he can't be a head coach like Chuck Daley, who can pinch players with different personalities together, and Popovich's path is more suitable for him in comparison.

For example, the problem player Rodman was able to treat Daley as a dad when he was in the Pistons, but when he got to the Spurs, no one could take care of him, and Popovich could only sell him in tears.

What Li Wei can do is not invite players of the Rodman type at all.

On December 2, the Knicks traveled to San Antonio and lost to the Spurs, who have twin towers.

Seeing the generation of famous coach Popovich opposite, Li Wei suddenly had the idea of a competition. This was the most serious game that Li Wei commanded this season, and the two sides were also inseparable, and the winner was not decided until the final quarter.

At 98:100, the Spurs twin towers David Robinson and Duncan each scored 25 points and 14 rebounds, as if they were contracted.

The Knicks' Alan Houston also scored 25 points and executed the final kill, but unfortunately did not make it.

This was Li Wei's first game this season without playing time, and he told reporters after the game: "I originally thought that this would be a duel between the two strongest players in the class of 97, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to play!" ”

"One of the strongest and one of the weakest, right?" Journalists laughed.

On December 4, the Knicks faced the Mavericks away.

Just a day earlier, Mavericks president Don Nelson had just forced out their former coach, Jim Clemmons, and now he's both president and coach.

Although the Mavericks' strategic goal this year is also to be bad, Don Nelson, who has just taken over the coaching whip, still wants to win a game and rush to the ground. And Li Wei saw that the other party was the team that was most likely to compete with him for Nowitzki, and he must be how to lose and how to fight.

It's a pity that Li Wei wanted to lose, but the on-site command still had an accident. In the third quarter, Li Wei sacrificed Garnett's three-point tactics, but Garnett was not iron, and he made three of five shots!

Seeing Garnett, who was beating his chest and roaring with joy, Li Wei was bitter in his heart!

My aim is to lose, who made you suddenly accurate!

Of course, in the long run, it's good that Garnett is starting to get right, and he can't criticize people. In order to lose as soon as possible, he had to send another Stephen Jackson who reassured him!

However, Stephen Jackson was also brave today, combining offense and defense, and almost didn't make Michael Finley cry on the other side!
