Davis underestimated the ability of Gong Feng at this time, or in Davis's thinking, he was not weaker than the underdog in the one-on-one battle with Gong Feng, and the Warriors at this time relied on individual defense, so they closely defended Gong Feng's blocking offense and three points at the beginning.

But Gong Feng faced such a 'tight' defense, but slapped Davis hard, and Davis, who was 'strong in attack and weak in defense', did not expect that Gong Feng would choose to show his scoring ability under the pressure of his own defense this time.

Gong Feng, who has not slacked off in his training for four years, is no longer the rookie who needs to be taken care of, especially after a summer of active training, and then after discussing the future development of the Knicks with his team, at the beginning of the season, Gong Feng began to choose another path.

In the face of a bitter master in his past, Gong Feng used his own way to slowly open all kinds of shackles he set for himself again, and Mill also seemed to find this, Hill, Yao Ming, these core players who need the ball, began to greatly reduce their playing time in these games, and maintained Gong Feng's playing time at about 34 minutes.

This average playing time per game is something that the Knicks have never let the core players bear in the regular season, but Mill seems to have slowly 'broken the ring' this season.

The starters gradually became Bow Peak, Allen, Battier, Dio and Bosh, and although the interior defense of this lineup is much different from the past, the Knicks have relied on such a lineup to win four consecutive seasons. After this game, Gong Feng used 34 points and 11 assists to defeat the Warriors in three quarters, and a day later, he once again had a triple-double record of 22 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.

Of course, such reports seem to be only small now, and have not yet become a big trend in the league, but it is really unexpected for the Knicks to maintain the strength that began so far in the season.

In the away victory over the Kings, who no longer have an inside foundation, the battle was almost over at the end of the third quarter, and then when they faced the Jazz at home against the Dragons back-to-back, they defeated the Western underdog by 20 points.

Winning eight games in a row, ranking first in the league, and Gong Feng's 24.3 points, 14.2 assists and 5.1 rebounds in eight games made the media exclaim.

The decision to renew Gong Feng's top salary is that there are many professionals who think that Gong Feng is not worth such a salary, according to them, Gong Feng will not get such good results and results in a different environment, which will increase the burden on the team.

Even if there are many fans who say that Gong Feng is a playoff player and has won three championships in his rookie four years, there are still many black Gong who will say that Gong Feng's average points per game have not exceeded 20 points, and such a player will be the top star of the guard line?

Gong Feng didn't justify or explain anything about this, but directly used the opening eight consecutive wins to tell some people some facts that he is capable of doing it, and even according to the current data, Gong Feng is likely to get the MVP of the regular season this season, which is a big explanation of the superstar.

Of course, such a record is just an explanation for the time being, and the final look at the crisis given by the Western Conference playoff team Nuggets is an indication of whether the Knicks are capable.

The Nuggets didn't have any excellent personnel this season, Martin was injured before the start of the game and couldn't play, although George Carr's tactics can make Anthony play extremely well, but when playing against top teams this season, I just feel a little less lucky, always when I should be nervous, nervous, when I should defend tightly, there will be various problems in communication between players.

The game with the Knicks illustrates this, in the first three quarters, because of some objective reasons for plateaus and consecutive away games, the Knicks' outside feel is really unopen, and the Nuggets fell into anxiety at the beginning.

But after the Knicks don't have an excellent offense, they will always take defense as their backhand, even if Gong Feng was very well limited by Miller's efforts in this game, Gong Feng did not let Miller organize his own team.

Yao Ming entered the injury list in the four-game game, which did not end Yao Ming's physical training, but Camby performed exceptionally well in this game, rebounding and blocking are unusually good.

It seems that some of the practices of Mir who gave up on him at the beginning have also made Camby haunted all along!

Fortunately, Paul played well in this game, Battier limited Anthony well at the beginning, and Gong Feng suddenly found his touch in the fourth quarter, scoring 9 points in a row, but Anthony also performed very well at this time, and Gong Feng started to play against the stars of you score one and I score one.

It's just that in the end, when the Knicks raised their defense to the Finals level, the Nuggets began to make several major mistakes and bury the victory of the game.

After the end of the journey of the West six, no one expected that the Knicks would be so 'smooth', and the journey that was stripped off would have six consecutive wins, which was another unexpected result.

It's not just Bow Peak who wants to prove himself this season, Bosh, Battle, and Dio all belong to this category, and there are players like Paul and Ariza who want to do something on the bench this season.

After the victory over the Nuggets, the Knicks next easily defeated the Nuggets who had not yet found their roots, Anfernee is now completely old, and he can't even get the identity of the main point guard in the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers have completely entered the rebuilding stage, but the object chosen in the rookie conference is not very good, and it looks like there is still a lot to do.

The No. 23 game against the Bobcats was a game that the Knicks almost lost.

Mutombo finally accepted the Bobcats' three-year, eight-million contract to stay, Larry Brown was fired by the Pistons, and also accepted the position of head coach of the Bobcats, and the arrival of Felton can be regarded as a new force for the Bobcats bench, Finley, Gerrard, Okafor plus Blazek in the free market, the Bobcats have made a lot of achievements this season.

This time, Larry Brown completely applied all his concepts about defense to the Bobcats, and the Bobcats, who were physically excellent, tall and weighted in line with Brown's system, did not live up to the Bobcats' expectations.

At the beginning, the Bobcats gave the Knicks a lot of restrictions, and if it weren't for returning to the home court, Yao Ming would have started for the first time in the new season and guarded the interior, maybe he would have been pulled away with more points.

It's just that in the fourth quarter, when it was time for the two sides to compete for stars and individual abilities, the Bobcats 'retreated', and Finley was already showing an old state, although his shooting did not fall, but his ability to attack with the ball was too far behind compared to the past.

Gong Feng managed to save his poor performance in the first half in the middle of the fourth quarter, scoring six points and two assists in a row, and at the same time, the score gap was stretched to more than seven points, and finally won the game by seven points.

After the victory over the Bobcats, the Knicks encountered another wave of strong opponents, but some luck against the immature 76ers was not difficult, and even if Wade scored 40 points against the Heat, there was no way to save O'Neal's absence.

Against the Bulls, although Curry, who renews his contract with a high salary, is very brave, but the gap between the teams, the bloated speed, there is really no way to give more interference to the Knicks, and when they met in the playoffs last season, the Knicks used small-ball tactics from beginning to end not only because of the gap between the teams.

In the opening game against the Pistons in December, the Knicks didn't seem to know each other.

If in the past game with the Pistons, even if the Knicks won by more than 10 points, they would feel that they had been stripped of a layer of skin, then in this game, the Pistons did not give the Knicks the slightest sense of strength from the beginning to the end.

In the game, such a piston seems to give up the strong defense of the past, and it can even be called such a piston, a piston of the 'five-man machine' in the offense. (To be continued.) )
