In the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, the score on the court became 78:90, and then the Bulls successfully defended continuously, and the Knicks fell into a scoring drought!

On the offensive end, the tired Jordan regained his might and scored another eight points!

86：90！

Seeing that there were only more than two minutes left, Li Wei quickly called a short timeout to replace Big Z, wanting to rely on the advantage of the center to turn the situation around, and also replaced Stephen Jackson with Bowen.

Bowen rested for half a quarter and faced the exhausted Jordan again, and finally played its role, and the next few shots of Old Man Joe were all iron!

And Big Z also lived up to Li Wei's trust, singled Longley by two goals, and the score became 86:94!

There is only one minute left, and there are still eight points left!

In the next round, the Bulls played a triangle offense, and Longley did the shaft to assist Haber to score!

88：94！

The Knicks attacked, and Nash made a fake pass and threw it to Garnett on the perimeter.

Garnett organized at the high level, Alan Houston ran to the three-point line with cover, and the tired Jordan was blocked by Big Z and couldn't keep up immediately!

Bang!

A three-point throw and a solid shot!

88：97！

With only 30 seconds left and a 9-point gap, the Bulls are gone!

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score was fixed at 90:97, and the Knicks won the game!

Michael Jordan scored 44 points on 17-of-33 shooting, along with three steals and one block. His god-like performance in the second half made all the Madison Square Garden spectators worth the ticket price!

Luke Longley had 11 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. However, the Knicks' defense made him uncomfortable, shooting just 5-of-16 from the field and making four turnovers.

Ron Harper had 15 points, Scott Burrell had 10 points, and Rodman had just two points and seven boards as he had been defending Garnett from the outside.

On the Knicks' side, Big Ben had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and his performance was amazing, Houston had 19 points, Garnett had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Big Z had 14 points and 7 boards, and Nash had 8 points and 4 assists.

Li Wei walked to the court and hugged Jordan, and then Phil Jackson. Although Pippen and Kukoc are not there, it is still very happy to beat the Bulls led by Jordan.

Mike Brin said: "Thank you to the Bulls and Knicks for putting on a great game and to Michael Jordan for the great performance, but unfortunately they didn't win. ”

"Yes, the Knicks won the game and set a new winning streak this season, 13 in a row," Fraser said. ”

Mike Brin said: "It's amazing, the longest losing streak of the season was created by the Knicks, and the longest winning streak was also created by the Knicks, and I can't comment on the team at all. ”

Fraser said: "What's wrong with that, the team is on the right track. On the other hand, the 13-game winning streak is the third-longest winning streak in Knicks history, with only two records ahead of it, one being a 15-game winning streak by Pat Riley in '94 and an 18-game winning streak in '69 with a red head on us. ”

Mike Brin said: "In those days, the Knicks' 18-game winning streak was the league's winning streak. ”

"Yes, we were the best team in the league," Fraser said. Whether it's the Bucks' 20-game winning streak or the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, it's all behind us. The 18-game winning streak is also the third longest in the league, tied with the Celtics in '82 and the Bulls in '95-'96! ”

Mike Brin said: "Walt, do you think this Knicks can win five more games now, tie your record, or even break your record?" ”

"I don't know, but I hope they can beat our record!" ”

After the game, a press conference.

Thanks to a season-breaking winning streak, New York's reporters are no longer so mean. A New York Times reporter said, "Coach Lee, the team has won 13 in a row, can you tell me how you feel in your heart?" ”

Li Weidao: "I feel that it is no different from 21 consecutive defeats, they are all record-breaking!" ”

"Hahaha!" Journalists laughed.

Li Wei also smiled slightly and continued: "The team can achieve 13 consecutive wins, first of all, thanks to the management, as well as my strong team of assistant coaches, who have straightened out the team's work. Secondly, I would like to thank the silent dedication of veteran players such as Herb, Charles, Barker, Old Hawk, Scott, etc., who have helped the growth of our young players and keep the spirit of New York alive.

Again, I want to thank Alain, Charlie, Dabo, and the young people who are playing more and more consistently. Kevin has been in transition this year, having had a tough start to the season and is getting better and better. Big Z, Big Ben, Steve, Stephen, and Bruce have also improved significantly. The only player who gave me a headache was David Lee, and if he continued like this, he probably wouldn't even be able to play garbage time. ”

"Hahaha!"

Hearing that Li Wei actually made fun of himself, the reporters laughed again.

A reporter from Fox Sports asked: "Coach Lee, Charles Oakley was banned for 20 games, and as a result, you lost 21 games in a row, and after he came back, you won 13 in a row, do you think there is a connection between that?" ”

Li Wei knew that these people still wanted to dig up the contradictions between him and Oakley to break the news, of course they couldn't say anything else at this time, anyway, if they blew Oakley, they wouldn't be able to die.

"Of course there is," he said. Last time, I said that Charles was the number one contributor to our winning streak, and his contribution was not as simple as how many points he scored on the court or how many rebounds he made. If Herb is the leader of all our players, then Charles is the one who carries the whole team forward with a whip, and his roar motivates us to improve, both in the dressing room and on the pitch. ”

Li Wei bragged about Oakley, which made Oakley appear on the front page of many newspapers the next day, especially an article in the New York Daily News titled "New York Thirteen Consecutive Wins Only Because of Him!" ", which sold even more.

The whole article added oil and vinegar, and even made up something out of nothing, making up all kinds of love and hatred between Li Wei and Oakley, making it seem like New York was staging a Qiong Yao drama all season.

Fortunately, the end of this article is a happy ending. Li Wei moved Oakley, and Oakley also used his strength to lead the whole team. The leading brother who has been entrenched in New York for many years raised his arms and shouted, and his 13-game winning streak was captured!

"What nonsense!" Xia Cuirong pursed her lips and put down the newspaper.

Li Weidao: "Don't pay attention to those newspapers, as long as they don't deliberately smear them." It's not easy to be a journalist, they always have to attract people's attention. ”

Xia Cuirong said: "But in this way, the credit for the winning streak is all Oakley's." ”

Li Weidao: "It's better this way, so that they don't have to talk about the conflict between me and Charles in the summer." ”

Li Wei's car drove all the way to the hotel where the Bulls were staying, but Phil Jackson didn't get down alone, but his former teammate Walter Fraser, who is now a commentator for Madison Garden Radio, was with him.

"David, I heard that you and Phil were going to see the red head, so I came to take a ride." Fraser Road.

"Welcome, welcome!" Li Wei said.
