After the game with the Bucks, the Knicks played against the Bobcats, Wizards, and Jazz, because the Bobcats and the Wizards were not very strong, and it was relatively normal for the Knicks to win. In the game against the Jazz, the Knicks scored twenty points and defeated the Jazz. So, the Knicks started the 2008-09 season with a wave of six straight wins.

This situation instantly reversed the strength of the Knicks in people's hearts, and the original people felt that the Knicks with rookies were bound to take a little time to run in, and now the iron-like fact of six consecutive wins has slapped them in the face like this.

However, it is precisely because of the six consecutive wins that no one has found the team's problems, and the victory can cover up a lot of problems, only when the team has a losing streak, many problems that usually seem not to be a problem gradually surface. And now the Knicks, who are experiencing a winning streak, have actually shown a little bit of signs, but no one has found it, Chen Jiyuan has not found it, and Thibodeau has not found it, but this problem has really appeared.

The interior of the Knicks is starting to look less harmonious.

The relationship between Crawford and Starkey has become more and more tense, and Sessions is better, Sessions basically does not conflict with Starkey, the time competition between Starkey and Crawford has become a vicious competition, and it is no longer a healthy buddy friendly competition, Starkey is no longer willing to play the starter, but there is no more time in the Crawford mall, and Crawford is becoming more and more wary of Starkey.

Mainly during the three-game winning streak, Starkey was the main contributor to the winning streak, Chen Jiyuan in these three games. Starkey suddenly started to explode in these games, going up to twenty in three consecutive games, two of which were close to 30 points. Against the Bobcats, Starkey had a double-double of 29 points and 10 assists, against the Jazz, Starkey scored 24 points, and against the Wizards, Starkey scored 28 points again. This crazy performance of three consecutive games made people start to brag about Starkey's strength like crazy. Even, a bit excessive.

Chen Jiyuan's performance in these three games cannot be said to be too much, but if you evaluate the strength of the scoring champion last season, then it is indeed a little unworthy of the identity of the boss.

In these three games, Chen Jiyuan scored less than 20 points in three consecutive games, scoring 17 points, 14 points, and 16 points respectively. Although there are a lot of rebounds, the defense is becoming more and more handy, and the defensive cooperation with Lefu is also becoming more and more compatible. However, there is no way to reflect this in the number jù. People are seeing Starkey's crazy scoring, not Chen's conscientious blocks on the defensive end.

After these three games, some people even began to brag, saying that Starkey was another super talent who came out of the 2007 rookie, a cornerstone player who built the team, and should play with Starkey as the boss in the Knicks. However, despite such rumors from the outside world, Starkey or no one has taken the initiative to mention this matter.

However, it is a fact that Stucky is more and more favored by the head coach, Crawford's defensive problem is a hard injury, so Thibodeau likes Starkey more like this young man, who has hard work, active defense, and is relatively strong, but he is slightly short, but that is only a small problem. Defensively, although Starkey can't be said to be in line with Thibodeau's heart, at least he is better than Crawford. I'm afraid of comparison. As soon as the comparison is made, the results are in.

Starkey got important, so Crawford was naturally unconvinced, so the contradiction between the two people became deeper and deeper. Moreover, it was originally a reconcilable contradiction, but because Chen Jiyuan did not discover this in time and let the two have a long talk, he missed the best time for the two to reconcile. And Thibodeau has just become the head coach. So for the time being, I didn't notice this sign, and I became the head coach, which is very different from the assistant coach I did before. There are a lot of things that need to be done, so Thibodeau was still in the adaptation stage for a while, and naturally did not experience discovering the contradiction between Starkey and Crawford, and this situation also made the contradiction between Starkey and Crawford completely irreconcilable. It even reached a situation where one person had to go.

But this is all later, at least now the relationship between the two is not good, but it has not yet reached the point where one must go.

Although Crawford is very dissatisfied with Starkey, there is no way to find a good opportunity to regain the love of the head coach for the time being, and the main problem is still the most fundamental problem. Defensive issues are not going to go. Or rather, Crawford has not made any effort to strengthen his own defense.

After six consecutive wins, the Knicks finally tasted the first defeat of the new season, losing to the Spurs, the Spurs' old spicy or raw lessons to the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan in the ** Vic targeted, actually played super abnormal, although this year's Spurs in the playoffs in the first round did not pass, but the strength of the Spurs with 54 wins is undoubted. Chen Jiyuan only had 8 points and 9 rebounds.

Although he lost, the Knicks did not have no chance, and the Knicks kept biting the score in the final fourth quarter, but at the last moment, Chen Jiyuan's two mistakes made the possibility of winning the game completely possible.

Therefore, in this game, the biggest reason for losing is Chen Jiyuan, and the reason for being able to drag the game to the end is Staki. Starkey's three-point shot in this game is very accurate, which is obviously something that Starkey is not good at, but this game is so accurate, and the Spurs are a little helpless. In this game, Starkey scored 29 points in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, he was alone under the defense of the Spurs, and scored 14 points, but unfortunately he still did not beat the overall team of the Spurs. Chen Jiyuan's abnormal play became the biggest reason for this game.

After the game, Chen Jiyuan also admitted that he was not in good shape for the first time, and the responsibility for losing this game was on his own shoulders and so on. Chen Jiyuan will not find any excuses, but it will appear that he is cowardly. A true warrior, in the face of failure, will admit it, and then the next time, in success.

However, Chen Jiyuan's voluntary admission could not change the outcome of the game. And the loss to the Spurs was like a turning point, and Chen Jiyuan's table began to gradually warm up. Chen Jiyuan, who had been tepid in the previous games, finally began to show his strength as a scoring champion.

The games against the Grizzlies were back-to-back though. But Chen Jiyuan didn't mean to be tired at all. I guess I was too depressed when I played Spurs, so I didn't exert much force. So Chen Jiyuan was very excited in this game. It was obviously a back-to-back away game, but it allowed Chen Jiyuan to play the momentum of the home team. Of course, it only refers to the inside of the Knicks, not to turn the entire arena into Knicks fans.

However, in this game, Chen Jiyuan swept a triple-double of 45 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. In an instant, the voice of doubt that had just appeared yesterday was silenced. Everyone will have a low ebb in this or that game, and there is no way to do it, no one can guarantee that their form will always be full, so what NBA players have to do is to adjust their condition as much as possible and win the next game with a new attitude.

Now Chen Jiyuan is doing just that.

In this game where Chen Jiyuan was powerful, Starkey was completely outdone, scoring 21 points, although this is not as much as Chen Jiyuan, but it is also the second highest score in the team. The third highest score is Sessions, and the current Lefu is not the main point of attack because it has not yet set up a three-point game. Sessions scored 15 points. But Sessions, who is still solid, has eight assists and six rebounds. This number looks much better than Starkey's 21+2+2. Crawford, on the other hand, is a complete tragedy. The poor kid has been playing less and less because of Starkey's good performance in recent games, and he only played 19 minutes in this game and scored 9 points. No assists and rebounds.

The Knicks beat the Grizzlies 132-108. Now the Grizzlies are in a rebuilding period, Paul? Gasol's departure has left the Grizzlies unable to quickly get back to a good competitive state. It can't be helped, not that team can quickly recover as a playoff team when the boss is gone. Guy and Conley still have a long way to go. Especially now that Gasol Jr. has not fully grown up, and Randolph is still messing around with the Trail Blazers. The Grizzly Bears' inside line does not have anyone who can pick the beam.

After the game against the Grizzlies, the trade officially appeared in the newspapers, and Britney has been busy lately. It was with Latin that the Knicks and the Warriors were officially finalized. But the difference is that Chen Jiyuan's original idea was to use David? Lee went to swap Warriors' Al? Harrington, and now the reality is that the Knicks pay David? Lee, in exchange for Stephen from the Warriors? Jackson. This result makes those who remember it so unexpected, the original gossip was David? Lee, Al? Harrington called out to the owner, and the situation was a bit unexpected.

But Chen Jiyuan is happy to die, Stephen? Jackson was the man who averaged 20+ per game last season. And the outside defense is also first-class. Originally, Chen Jiyuan didn't expect to be able to use David? Lee in exchange for Stephen? Jackson, but he didn't expect it to be done by Latina. It's amazing. With Stephen? Jackson, Chen Jiyuan is more confident in the goal of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
