"This season is the Knicks' strongest season since the team entered the 21st century. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The Knicks' back-to-back victories over the Cavaliers and Grizzlies have skyrocketed the team's management's confidence, and general manager Mills did not shy away from boasting about himself in an interview.

As Wang Zhuo led the Knicks to play better and better, the status of the Zen master in the team's management was increasingly elevated, and Mills's power was weakened day by day, and even appeared in the public eye as the team's public relations for a time.

Mills realized that Wang Zhuo's position in the Knicks was unshakable, so he did not hesitate to choose to move closer to Wang Zhuo, because Wang Zhuo is like a lucky star, everyone who is close to him is getting better and better, even Jeff Van Gundy, who has always been unpopular, has become the darling of the media.

After the Knicks' victory over the Grizzlies, they played back-to-back games against the Pistons and Rockets on November 1 and November 2, with the Pistons playing in Detroit.

The Pistons didn't strengthen their roster in the offseason, the steering wheel didn't seem to be in the right direction in the Motor City, and Stan Van Gundy seemed a little unprepared against the morale-boosting Knicks, and despite playing at home, the Pistons were normally pressed and beaten.

108-95, the Knicks beat the Pistons away and continued the momentum of victory, the most eye-catching performance of the Pistons team was Reggie Jackson, Reggie has a momentum not to admit defeat, and frequently burst into the basket in adversity, even at the expense of throwing his body into the air, and the highest score of 35 points in the game is also the best proof of strength.

However, the overall strength of the Pistons is not half a star worse than that of the Knicks, and a solo dance is never as good as the group of demons, and Reggie can only swallow a defeat in disappointment.

The brightest eyeliest on the Knicks' side is neither Anthony nor Rose, but Brandon Jennings who came off the bench, the former rookie season of Mr. 55 points in this game completely rampage, the non-standard posture does not affect the accuracy of shooting, 7 three-pointers are like a sharp blade in the heart of the Pistons, in the end, Jennings slashed the old master, became the biggest contributor to the Knicks' victory.

The biggest attraction of this game is undoubtedly the matchup between the two Van Gundy brothers, however, such a situation did not occur, after all, Jeff Van Gundy is only an assistant coach of the Knicks, and more time is just to help Wang Zhuo.

"Jeff, Wang has unlimited potential, the Knicks have a promising future, and your choice is wise."

However, the two brothers still talked a lot when they met, Stan Van Gundy lost to Wang Zhuo in the competition for a playoff spot, and knew Wang Zhuo's strength, so in the conversation, Stan Van Gundy did not hesitate to praise Wang Zhuo.

Although it is said that "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail", if you can lie down to win, lie down in the finals, and lie down to win the championship, who wouldn't be happy, besides, Van Gundy is not lying down and doing nothing, his excellent defensive concept is very well implemented in the Knicks.

After the victory over the Pistons, the Knicks rushed back to New York overnight, and on the plane, Wang Zhuo announced that tomorrow's training session would be canceled, and the players could take a good rest and then go all out to play back-to-back games against the Rockets the next day.

The Rockets got off to a poor start, with two wins and two losses, the first game against the Lakers, and the Mavericks with one win and one loss in the two games, but in the next away game against the defending champion Cavaliers, they were overwhelmed by James, Irving and Love, and were slaughtered by a large margin of nearly 30 points.

The Knicks are the second stop of the Rockets' five-game road streak, and it is understandable to lose to the Cavaliers, but the huge point difference makes D'Antoni furious, because the Rockets' run-and-shoot tactics are completely restrained by the Cavaliers, and the score of less than 90 points in the whole game also makes D'Antoni lose face.

can't defeat the Cavaliers, defeating the Knicks can be regarded as saving some face, D'Antoni's small abacus played "snapping", but D'Antoni soon made trouble again, the Knicks' strength is not what it used to be, and the momentum is flourishing, and it is a home game, and it is very difficult to win.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of winning that it is even more necessary to win, in order to show the strength of the team and the level of coaching, and D'Antoni's careful thinking is so dense that it can be woven into a net, completely inversely proportional to his defensive tactics.

"This is the second meeting between the two teams this season, the first game was in the preseason, the Knicks won away against the Rockets, so the question is, whether the Rockets can get revenge, please wait and see."

At 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 2, the Rockets-Knicks game kicked off at Madison Square Garden Arena, and the on-site commentator commented on the feud between the two teams this season.

The Knicks' starting lineup remains the same, and the Rockets are exactly the same as they were in the preseason, with Harden, Ryan Anderson, Capela, Eric Gordon, and Ariza.

In the opening game, both sides played very fast, and the offensive efficiency was also very high, almost three-point bombardment, and at the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied, and the score on the court was 30-30.

In the second quarter, Wang Zhuo changed his tactics slightly, O'Quinn replaced Noah, making the ball more fluid, but the Van Gundy-style suffocation defense never appeared, but the Rockets relied on Harden's consecutive free throws to play evenly matched.

The halftime score was 56:57, the Rockets were still one point ahead, and in the second half, the Knicks still did not play a strong defense, Wang Zhuo did not emphasize defense from before the game, because this was the second game of back-to-back, the physical strength of the players was limited, and the defensive intensity was too large to cause insufficient physical strength, which would inevitably make the offense weak, so he and the Rockets played against each other throughout the game.

At the end of the third quarter, with Rose's whistle layup, the equalizer, the two sides returned to the same running line, although Harden's performance was eye-catching, the data was gorgeous, but Rose did not fall behind in the opposite position, and the offensive efficiency was ahead of Harden.

The decisive moment was played in the middle of the fourth quarter, Gordon's three-pointer gave the Rockets a one-point lead, followed by Porzingis' easy hit from mid-range, and then Harden hit a breakaway shot, which also caused O'Quinn to foul and hit a free throw, giving the Rockets a two-point lead.

Rose hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner on the right side to regain the initiative on the court, Ariza singled Ray Allen, burst to the basket and made a foul, making one of two free throws, Anthony hit a two-pointer to give the Knicks a three-point lead.

Ryan Anderson hit a 45-degree three-pointer from the left side to equalize the score again, and the situation on the court was full of twists and turns, excitement and spectacle, after which the two sides suddenly lost their touch, and a wave of iron frenzy continued until the last minute of the game.

Rose missed a three-point jumper, Harden broke through to make a foul and hit two free throws, and in the last 36 seconds, the Rockets held a two-point lead.

At the end of the timeout, Ray Allen and Rose ran in the bottom corner of the "8" on both sides, Anthony and Porzingis were in the rib area, and Grant held the ball at the top of the circle, which was completely a three-point shot tactic, Anthony and Porzingis raised to the three-point line at the same time, and the Rockets focused on Ray Allen and Anthony, the two masters.

Rose got a chance to open the left corner in the running position, Anthony broke through the ball, Rose got up and down, three-point arrow, 100 steps through Yang, hit the whistle, leaving the Rockets 12 seconds of offensive time, Harden missed the emergency stop, and the Knicks narrowly beat the Rockets by 1 point at home, extending the victory to the fourth game.
