Regardless, after winning against the Grizzlies, the Knicks' record became 61-9. It also has a 23-game winning streak in the league, the league's second single-season winning streak.

Maybe it's because the players feel a little too much psychological pressure, or maybe it's just a poor performance, or maybe it's not good luck, anyway, the result is that the Knicks were interrupted at the time of the 23-game winning streak. And what interrupted them was Chen Jiyuan's old teammate, the guy who competed with Chen Jiyuan for the regular season MVP this season - LeBron James.

On March 1, in the game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers, Chen Jiyuan and James faced their biggest contenders for the regular season MVP this season, and they both held their breath and wanted to play a good game and a winning game.

However, the final winner was James, and Chen Jiyuan could only regrettably lose.

But in terms of personal data, Chen Jiyuan is not lost to James, although this can only be said to be the last bit of dignity of the loser. At least it's a fig leaf, which can cover a little bit is a little bit.

James had a quasi-triple-double of 35 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in this game. And Chen Jiyuan was not bad, with 37 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. But helplessly, his teammates were a little weak, which led to the collapse of this game.

However, Chen Jiyuan has no complaints about his teammates' market performance, everyone has a time when they play abnormally, even Chen Jiyuan himself has this time, at this time, in a sense, teammates do their best to save is what the team should do, instead of constantly complaining and scolding.

This is the policy that Chen Jiyuan implemented as a leader.

After losing the game against the Cavaliers, the Knicks players were relieved. After all, the heavy burden of fear of losing has been unloaded after losing. For the next game, the Knicks players will be able to play with a normal mentality.

After the game against the Cavaliers, finally, that big event happened. The Nets' owner has changed. Prokhorov managed to come to power.

But it was only a matter of time.

Stern has long expressed his stance on the change of owner of the Nets, and Prokhorov has no problem at all when he comes to power, and I can't think of any problem to prevent such a powerful guy from taking charge of the Nets.

Anyway, to put it simply, Stern nodded, and who else in the entire league dared to force some useless people.

The first thing Prokhorov did after coming to power was to "brag" at the press conference.

However, in fact, these words should be bragging, but this guy may be true when he says them.

"I'm going to build a championship team and bring a championship to this team in five years. Trust me, I'll do whatever it takes to attract superstars, and I'm going to make people remember the Nets as a team. ”

About Prokhorov the person, in one word - Howe!

Whether it is a rich tyrant or a bold man who burns money. It's Howe anyway.

Mikhail Prokhov, born on May 3, 1965, is the president of the Onexim group and the richest man in Russia in 2009. A graduate of the Moscow Institute of Finance and Economics, Prokhov is Russia's largest gold supplier with a total net worth of $9.5 billion and ranked 32nd in the world in 2011 ($18 billion). Prokhov is 2.06 meters tall, he is not a professional athlete, but he has been particularly fond of basketball since he was a child, and he can be said to be a die-hard basketball fan, and once funded the CSKA team, which won the Russian league championship twice. Prokhov was the chairman of CSKA Moscow's basketball team and has been funding the club. In December 2011, Prokhorov announced his candidacy for the 2012 Russian presidential election.

He was the president of CSKA Moscow, a long-time European basketball giant, and during his tenure he poured heavily into the team, buying a large $700 bottle of champagne to spray the players when CSKA won the championship.

For basketball, Prokhorov definitely has enough passion and enthusiasm. At the same time, the last thing Prokhorov lacked was money.

To be honest, money is really just a bunch of numbers in Prokhorov's eyes. Taking money is not money, this is what you are talking about.

Now the NBA has officially announced that Prokhorov's acquisition of the Nets has been approved. In this way, the Nets, who were the worst ranked in the regular season, finally achieved a "change of dynasty". Prokholov thus became the first NBA owner to be the tallest (2.06 meters) NBA owner from outside North America. He acquired 80 percent of the Nets' stock and the ownership of 45 of the Nets' new arena.

However, the slight details are a little different from the previous life, that is, in terms of time, it is a little early. It's more than two months early, although this time seems to have no effect. However, many times, a butterfly slightly shakes its wings twice, and in some places an extremely large tornado occurs.

No one is big, and what Prokhorov said at the press conference was absolutely not the slightest element of bragging, it was all the big truth.

Because after the successful appointment, Prokhorov also knew that there was no way to save the Nets this season, so he gave up directly, but the next offseason was a critical moment. There are really a lot of superstars who have turned into free agents this offseason.

03 Almost all of the representative players of the Super Platinum generation have become free agents this season.

And Prokhorov told his scouts and general managers directly.

"All you have to do now is to go and get in touch with the stars for me, to the death, and tell them that Lao Tzu is poor and only has money left, and they will come over and give me the biggest contract they can get. The luxury tax gods are all bullshit, and they don't have to worry about it at all. Don't worry about the extra stars paying the luxury tax. Go and recruit one, and I'll credit you. Tell them that Lao Tzu is an ambitious person who will not stop at the beginning, and until he wins the championship, Lao Tzu will not stop burning money. ”

You see, what people say is really Nyima's domineering. I'm also convinced. Thoroughly convinced.

As soon as Prokhorov came to power, he announced that the team was going to move. Going to Brooklyn has become almost irreversible.

The commercial lure of Brooklyn, New York, the full support of a huge consortium, and the unique positioning of the savior will be the advantages that the Nets have when recruiting superstars that are difficult to be matched by other teams, and this may also make the superstar, who seems to have lost confidence in the Nets, reconsider the possibility of joining the Nets. Prokhorov's cash-burning behavior is definitely not a lavish spend, and he may well hope to attract the attention of the league's stars in this way, change the Nets' previous small-budget recruitment philosophy, and make the Nets rely on the important location of the new arena to become a wealthy team like the Knicks and Lakers. If Prokhorov's plan succeeds, the Nets will be the next stop in their careers and the league will change dramatically.

During this late season contact, and the fishing time of the teams that can't make the playoffs, how deep Prokhorov can get in touch with those stars will depend on his ability. As for whether he can win over a superstar, it depends even more on his ability.

Prokhorov's entry into the house has definitely made the Nets a team to watch.

And Prokhorov got the Nets too early, on the one hand, it may have an impact on this season's offseason, and on the other hand, it will definitely have a considerable impact on the Knicks.

Because Prokhorov had already decided to move the arena to Brooklyn.

It's just that because the contract with New Jersey hasn't expired yet, the migration can't be completed instantly.

Moving is really a big deal for a team.

In that world, the Nets moved after the end of the 2011-12 season, and now it seems that maybe that time may be sooner.

The Nets signed a clause with the New Jersey state government that if they left the IZOD Center before the 2011-2012 season, they would have to pay $8 million (about 54.64 million yuan) in compensation, mainly to prevent the Nets from moving prematurely to Brooklyn, New York. If you just move to the Prudential Center in Newark, which is also in New Jersey, it is estimated that you can pay no or less compensation, and Nets executives are negotiating the matter with the New Jersey government.

For this, Prokhorov obviously cares very much, although this money, although in our opinion it is sky-high, but in Prokhorov's opinion, it is drizzle.

But moving isn't so simple, and if your team is too bad and you go to a city with a strong team, then the consequences are to watch the Clippers over the years.

Therefore, what the Nets need to do is to supplement their own strength first, at least let themselves have the strength to compete with the Knicks.

If you are a top three team in the league, a team that is one of the top three weaker teams in the league, in a city, and you are the top three weaker team or moved in later, and you still want fans to support you? You're just making a joke.

The Nets shouldn't move after the season, but it's only a matter of time.

So, sooner or later, the rivalry between the Knicks and the Nets is going to happen.

However, the Nets are obviously not in the climate right now, so the Knicks are not very worried, and now the Knicks need to worry about all the games that will go after this season, including the playoffs.
