In the final quarter, Jordan continued to play, trying to turn the game around with his individual ability, which was a futile effort, and the Knicks did not relax at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Van Gundy was still relatively conservative in the final quarter, and two defensive players were arranged to follow Jordan in the big lead. No matter how much he leads, Van Gundy can't tolerate his players not working hard defensively, otherwise he will be uncomfortable.

Jordan was not very efficient in scoring and only shot two-pointers under the pack of Knicks players, and after six minutes, the Knicks still led by 27 points and sealed the win.

Both sides sent substitutes, and Jordan came off the court with a gloomy and terrible face.

He can't accept this kind of loss, the two teams don't look like they are on the same level at all, and if the Knicks can play this kind of intensity in the playoffs, the Bulls will have a hard time winning even with Pippen.

Even the "God of Basketball" is not optimistic about the prospects of the Bulls, let alone the fans? The Knicks had a lively atmosphere at home as if they were already champions, completely forgetting about the first loss to the Bulls.

After Larry Johnson's return, the Knicks were divided into two teams in the last meeting, and the offense was unstoppable.

In terms of fame, Rodman is better than Johnson, but in terms of tactical role, Rodman is too far behind. Rodman didn't play much on the defensive end of this game, the Knicks only found the weak side of the offense, and if Rodman switched defenses to block and dismantle, passing Johnson heads-up was an opportunity.

The 198CM Johnson holds the ball and breaks through the 218CM Langley, which is relaxed and happy, and Johnson's barefoot height is actually 195CM, and the mobility gap between the two is very obvious.

When Lang Li came off the court, the substitute Winnington was even worse, he couldn't improve his defense, and he couldn't open up space, and playing against the Knicks, it was a dead end if he couldn't defend inside.

The Knicks' bench is not vegetarian either, backup point guard Atkins, guest power forward Stephen Jackson and swingman Mills can also shoot three-pointers, leaving Ben Wallace on the inside.

Oakley rested in garbage time, the Knicks' offense became stronger, and the point difference widened to 35 points, and the "Zen Master" did not call a timeout, and waited quietly on the sidelines for the game to end.

If you can't win a game, there is no need to let the star consume physical strength, in case you get injured, it will be miserable.

Albert said excitedly: "The Knicks have made everyone see hope, especially Ben Wallace, he is very tough, and he has outstanding ability to grab rebounds and blocks, this blue-collar is fantastic!" ”

"Bowen has also been a good starter, has been a starter this season, has worked hard defensively, has been able to shoot threes," Glickman said. ”

Albert smiled: "There are not many scenes where Jordan's career has been bloodied, and the most impressive one is the game where the Knicks were defeated here in the 1995-96 season, and today I am afraid to set a record for a bigger point difference between the two teams." ”

In the 1995-96 season, the invincible Bulls visited New York with a 54-6 record, and the previous six losses were all within 10 points, while the Bulls ranked first in the league in points per game, first in the league in points per game, and first in the league in points per game.

Then, the Bulls with a full roster were slaughtered by the Knicks by 32 points in New York.

The Knicks' good pseudo-joint defense, the way players retreat to the restricted area, has always been the tactic that the Bulls are most afraid of, because the Bulls start the lack of three-point shooting points.

In the past, the Knicks had a poor offense, and the two sides won and lost each other, but this season the offense has been strengthened, and the Knicks have begun to gain the upper hand. At the end of the game, the Knicks won by 37 points 116-79.

The Bulls only scored 16 points in the final quarter, and after Jordan went off the court, the Bulls players were difficult to score, and the Bulls without Jordan and Pippen were a bad team with the bottom strength.

Jordan also played a nightmare game, shooting 13 of 31, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, cutting 36 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals.

The Knicks scored 20+ points with three trio. Ewing shot 8-of-13 from the field, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, beating Langley with 12 points and 5 rebounds.

Johnson's 24 points and 8 rebounds outperformed Rodman, who had 6 points and 13 rebounds.

Houston cut 27, and once Jordan was separated by cover, there was nothing he could do about him.

At the press conference, Phil Jackson and Jordan blackfaced the whole time and were reluctant to say a word.

The Knicks players all proudly answered various questions from reporters. They didn't say what they were aiming for, but they all saw the hope of winning the title.

Van Gundy smiled and kept his usual low profile. "The players played well in this game, but Bulls star Pippen didn't come back, so we can't be complacent just because of a regular season game, the playoffs are key."

Yang Rui didn't go to the press conference and went home early to rest.

If he faces the media high-profile, Van Gundy will be under a lot of pressure as a coach, and Van Gundy will also be deducted points when the best coach is selected in the regular season.

On the contrary, he does not fight for honor, only discusses tactics within the team, and it will be much easier to persuade Van Gundy, as for whether to say good things about Yang Rui at the press conference, it depends on Van Gundy's conscience.

In this victory, Yang Rui's biggest realization is that on the basketball court, no matter how strong the star is, it is impossible to solve all problems with personal ability, and there must be good teammates and reasonable lineup configuration.

The Bulls' configuration is not reasonable, the main Rodman offense is too bad, if the "big bug" can shoot, then the Bulls may have more than 72 wins in 1996.

As for those legendary stars in later generations who independently led the team to win the championship, and independently led the team to the finals or something, it's all nonsense.

The next day, the Knicks were praised by major media outlets, and the team consolidated its position at the top of the league with 29 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the official power rankings.

The Bulls are 23-12 and trailing the Knicks by a lot, and unless there is a long winning streak, it will be difficult to catch up. They also have to compete with the 22-11 Heat for second place, and in case the regular season record is not as good as the Heat, there will be no home-court advantage in the second round.

The New York Times didn't mention Yang Rui, only praised Van Gundy, and Thomas Bentley was upset after reading the newspaper.

"Is there something wrong with these people's brains? Fans know that you have the most credit for the Knicks' good play this year, but they haven't mentioned you recently. Beat the Bulls by a big score, the offense is so beautiful, you should say a few words, right? ”

Yang Rui ate a bun and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that no one will know me when I get results, maybe there are many teams investigating me now." ”

It was too much, so the New York media did not publicize Yang Rui's credit.

A Chinese coach is a good gimmick to attract attention, but arrogant Americans don't want foreigners to steal the limelight from their natives, especially since Van Gundy is still white.

Thomas asked: "Do you really think there will be teams looking for you as head coach in the summer?" ”

"Tom, if I'm out of town, will you come with me, or will you stay in New York?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically.

Thomas now has a job on Wall Street, what can he do if he goes to a small city? But if they don't develop together, it will go against his original intention of coming to New York.

Yang Rui smiled: "During this time, I suggest that you carefully study the matter of opening an investment company, I borrowed books from the library, and we will open a company when we go to other places, which is definitely better than what kind of analyst you are." ”

"As long as you're not afraid of losing money, I'll be with you." Thomas made up his mind.

"I can't pay for it."
