After breaking a league record, the Knicks didn't go any further, breaking the top-of-the-regular season winning streak and ultimately losing Game 17 against the Suns on the road.

Xiao Si has grown very obviously this season, and it seems that the playoffs in the past two seasons have taught him a lot, such as how to play on the inside, how to play without relying on his talent, and how to protect himself.

The Knicks' injury prediction system is increasingly being taken seriously by professional teams, and Phoenix is now undoubtedly at the forefront, with less playing time, less training intensity, and more protective gear this season...... It's all the sun's protection of Xiao Si.

Kerter's further integration has also begun, although the current Smalls and Kerth's position coincides with Cotter in many cases, but Cotter's defense and experience are also the most urgently needed by the current Suns, plus in the free market, get Ragabel to join, and get rookie Josh in the trade with the Hawks? Childis, this season's Suns look to be the toughest year ever, and the Suns have shouted the slogan of competing for the championship in the new season.

So the game against the defending champion Knicks became an important game for the Suns to prove themselves, coupled with the Knicks' winning streak, coupled with the need to defend the glory of the home court, the Suns have many reasons to fight the Knicks with all their strength, and the final result does prove that the Suns have the strength to win the championship this season.

The two sides played a high-level game, and the final score of the two sides was more than 120, which is not to say that the two sides do not defend, but to see that their defense against the other side has no effect, so in the second half, the two sides began to compete for the rhythm and the players' three points.

The intensity of the defense is very strong, but the transition between the two sides is indeed unusually fast, and there are a lot of three-point projections between the conversions, and the competition between Gong Feng and Nash has attracted the attention of fans.

Seeing the final result, although Gong Feng is in the leading position in terms of data, it is indeed Nash who has the last laugh, but D'Antoni does not have much smile, the Knicks did not use the last hole card, Gong Feng, Allen, Hill and other players are just normal rotation, Yao Ming still did not enter the away battle list, did not use the main force to the end like the Suns, and in defense, the Knicks' outside tacit understanding is indeed stronger than the Suns.

The most important thing is that there are not many good ways to deal with the bow peak, which has changed a lot in the new season, and Bell, the strongest outside defender on the Suns' side. Although he had known for a long time that Gong Feng was strong, Mike really didn't expect that Gong Feng, who let go of everything, really become a real and relatively inexplicable player.

D'Antoni, who sighed, could only comfort himself in the end, this was just his wishful thinking, the Knicks were on some players, and it was impossible to change the result in the end, maybe after some players, they were not as good as these players are doing now?

After losing to the Suns, the Knicks began to rebound strongly, and in the next two Western away games, they defeated the weak team SuperSonics one after another, and defeated the Clippers in the new season, although the Clippers have changed a lot this season, and they have successively obtained excellent players such as Mobley and Cassel in the free market, plus the rise of their own interior Carman and Brand, but in fact, there is still a lot of gap between them and the Knicks.

The first game after returning to the home court was against the Bucks, the Bucks, who got the new center, performed very well at the beginning of the season, Reed finally got a maximum salary contract that matched his value in the summer, plus the rise of 03 rookies Williams and TJ, the Bucks are favored by many people as a playoff team.

Due to the rise of the Knicks, many teams have strengthened the construction of their bench lineups, and have also begun to pay attention to the protection of players at risk of injury.

However, the big mouth of the new champion, saying something hateful and rememberable, really put the Bucks in some kind of predicament, coupled with the aging trend of the bench lineup, although the Bucks can improve a little this season, but how far they can go in the end, many people are not very optimistic about the future development of the Bucks.

But soon, the Knicks really faced the challenge of a strong team in the East at home, the Orlando Magic.

After getting Lewis in the free market, it seemed that the magic had found its own future direction in an instant.

The Nelson, DeShaun, Maddy, Lewis, and Howard lineups have a good record of 14-5 since the start of the season, especially Howard has made impressive progress this season, and many people think that the center position in the East is too much for many talented centers to feel completely hopeless. Big Van Gundy has a lot on his mind this season.

Yao Ming played as a starter for the second time in the new season, and the Knicks also returned to the main lineup in the past, and Hill's starting also shows how important the Knicks are to this Magic team.

"There is no room for loss in this game, the Magic team is no longer the team that we can underestimate, Yao Ming, I hope you can teach us some lessons as a high school student, and finally give him some shadows, in this game, I allow you to double your playing time, and even play with you as the core, my request is that you must teach Howard enough lessons in the low post! Can it be done? ”

"Rest assured, this period of cultivation is enough for me to play in this game, enough cultivation and active exercise, I can't wait to compete with some players, Howard is the most suitable one!"

"Excellent! Gong Feng, in this game, your task is also not small, Hill goes to the opposite of Maddie, I believe in Hill's ability, and Allen and their high school rookie opponent, it does take a lot of physical strength, I believe that this young man will be very willing to use Allen to prove something, Allen and you will be our starting point, as long as they adopt a little tightening tactics for Yao Ming, I need you to open up the situation for Yao Ming, and even you have to do more, rookie Nelson has improved, but his improvement is in offense, I don't believe his defense can interfere with you! ”

"Understood! I'll tell him what an NBA game is! Officially welcome him to the NBA family! Gong Feng just said lightly about this, and it seemed that he really didn't take Nelson seriously.

The Magic's current offensive mode is indeed difficult to stop, especially after using Howard as a blue-collar worker for the time being, the Magic team was pleasantly surprised to find that Howard's originally poor passing skills were developed from this.

After treating Howard as a not-so-important fulcrum, especially when putting most of the defensive burden on Howard, the Magic discovered Howard's toughness and what his future looked like.

The Magic team now has a lot of independent offensive fulcrums, and can also play misplaced blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, even small balls, and Maddy's strong organizational ability is also shown, although the outside three-point player has changed from the outside to Lewis who can play the third or fourth position, but Nelson's breakthrough and three-point ability have also been developed.

The starting five-man group is the five with the strongest offensive ability, but after Barty came on the court, the Magic became a strong lineup on defense, and when the main five players were on the court, Maddie's role was more reflected in the organization, and the organization based on its own strong offensive ability was very difficult to defend.

Although the current Warcraft is very easy to target, and some novice mistakes are often made, the potential and ability of magic are indeed favored by most people.

The Knicks felt that the arrival of Lewis after he came on the court, which was really a complete liberation of Maddy's role on the court, which was different from putting all the team on Maddie in the past, and one of the most popular and optimistic points for Maddy was that Maddy's current style of play had a good effect on Maddy's injury.
