The Knicks' 23-game winning streak set a new second-longest winning streak in league history, second only to the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

78 high-speed updates

Enthusiastic Knicks fans have already blown up the Knicks' official website, and after surpassing the Rockets' winning streak, what fans want is to surpass the Lakers' winning streak and create a new first winning streak.

But this is not easy, in fact, it is hard to imagine that the Knicks can achieve the current winning streak, the previous opponents are all strong opponents like the Heat Pacers, and in the next game, there are old Western powerhouses such as the Spurs and Mavericks, and the Knicks want to rewrite the Lakers' winning streak, and they still need to ask them

After the game against the Pacers, the Knicks players will not have time to rest and will take on the Orlando Magic back-to-back

The Magic's lineup this season is not without reinforcements, and there is a tendency to weaken, which is mainly reflected in the interior players, and now the Magic interior line in addition to Howard, still depends on the shooter Ryan Anderson, if Howard and Anderson are super-Magic, there is only a big baby Davis on the inside

The outside Magic still likes the hot-headed Nelson, the no longer magical Turkoglu and the Jason Richardson who has transformed into a shooter

When the Magic players came to New York, they were on a tight line

Before the game started, the Magic players could already feel the strong murderous aura of the home fans in the locker room

It's not about playing, it's about going to the Super League to win the game, and the best way to win the game is to ask Ben Gordon's "brother" Osama Laden for help and blow up Madison

There is a big gap between the players on both sides, and compared with the starters of the two sides in the last game, Nelson has good statistics, averaging 14 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal per game

Rose's scoring dropped a lot, but the assist double-double, and the gap between the two was counted on the toes

Scoring guard Richardson vs Smith

Richardson is well-rounded, Smith is very similar to him, but the body of the dunk king is no more than it was back then, Smith is younger Overall, Richardson has little advantage

Small forward Turkoglou's stats have slipped this season, with 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and his shooting percentage has dropped from 45 last season

James Harden is already a bright new star in the league, and some experts say that if it weren't for the Knicks' too many excellent players, Harden would have been able to cut down the same data as Pierce, the Green Shirts' lone leader

Power forward Li Feng, Magic is shooter Anderson, Magic can't be compared

The Magic's only advantage is center, and although Howard is still in the soap opera of the trade, he is in good shape and has a lot of shots, accounting for more than half of the team

Both Howard and the Magic have the same interests on this point, and Howard's good statistics will attract more team interest, and it will also bring more trade chips to the Magic

Compared with Howard, Monroe's body is relatively thin, and the tonnage loss is a bit big, which is a test in this game

Excluding the main lineup than the bench, the Magic are too far behind

The players are clearly not in good spirits, and head coach Jacques Vaughn still has to motivate the players

"Although the Knicks have won 23 in a row, they may not be able to beat us, as long as everyone plays at the same level, we can still beat the Knicks this season."

Then Jacques Vaughn arranged the tactics

"Defensive formation 122 joint defense, if Monroe pulls to the high position, don't care about him, the inside wraps Li Feng, if Li Feng pulls the ball to the high position, Xidu must follow him, don't let him easily shoot the outside line, we don't take Li Feng to take the bag, it is easy to have an empty offensive ······"

Vaughn paused and asked:

"Dwight, do you have the confidence to single-handedly beat Li Feng? I think they'll let Li Feng defend you."

"Yes"

Although Howard likes to rely on the only face in the league that does not blow his shoulders to score, but now his skills have also been practiced, the small hook hand is more confident, against Li Feng he is now confident that he can score the ball and maintain a high shooting rate

Although his mid-range shot can also be thrown, the hit rate is not guaranteed, and it does not work when it fails

"Okay, then the offense focuses on Dwight, if they use Monroe to defend, I believe you can also rely on your speed advantage to find a way, outside players pay attention to running, Dwight If there is no good chance, the outside line will open fire, Ryan pulls to the high position to cover the outside players, if there is a chance, try to make Li Feng foul If you can beat him down, we will play a lot better"

After Jacques Vaughn finished talking about tactics, he felt that the Magic could still fight with the Knicks, and he was afraid that the Knicks would have to make a surprise move in the lineup

In the last game and the Pacers, many people thought that the Knicks would let Ibaka go to the top of the power forward position, or Kirilenko, who knew that Li Feng was on top, Smith entered the starting Jacques Vaughn guessed correctly, the Knicks were indeed going to make a surprise move, and Tyberdu changed the lineup again

tabodoo says:

"Howard is the core of the Magic, we change the formation, play the run-and-bomb tactics, when defending, Li Feng is the main defense of Howard, after grabbing the rebound, launch a fast attack, if you can't break fast, Li Feng will attack in the low post, and the others will run to prepare to catch the ball and shoot three-point defense, and when the Magic breaks through with cover in the high post, Andre will follow the defense."

The Knicks lead the league in terms of record against Howard's Magic, so this game is also broadcast live across the United States, and Barkley Kenny Smith commented

Barkley was generous before the game

"The suspense of this game is not who can win, but how many points the Knicks can win, and I believe Li Feng is ready"

Both starters took to the court, Kenny Smith said

"The Knicks starting lineup made a big adjustment to point guard Rose and shooting guard L

Smith, Dorrell Wright at small forward, Kirilyenko at power forward, Li Feng came to the center position today."

Looking at the starting line-up, both Barkley and Smith laughed

The lineup was so surprising, with Monroe and Harden on the bench, Dorrell Wright actually getting a start, and it looked like the Knicks were going to take out the Magic with speed and perimeter

The match between the two sides is about to begin

Barkley laughed:

"The Magic team is about to become the New York Knicks of the new era, Dwight Howard is Patrick Ewing, the Knicks collapsed in the post-Ewing era, and the Magic are fast" Howard jumped the ball to beat Kirilenko, and the Magic attacked first

Li Feng faced Howard on the inside, and his defense was still the same, trying his best to keep Howard outside the three-second zone

Li Feng knew that Howard had practiced his hook hand very well, and it was difficult for him to defend because he was not tall enough, but he did not suggest that Kirilenko make up the defense, which would be difficult to control the rebound, and it didn't matter if Howard scored more points, the important thing was to protect the backcourt rebounds on the inside

The Magic hoisted the ball high from the left side to Howard and the two for the first time on the court

Howard dribbled and took a step to turn around, but Li Feng judged the right direction and immediately reached out to steal

Howard jumped up and he couldn't cover it, but Howard protected the basketball very well, jumped high and hooked his hand to shoot, and the ball bounced twice on the basket to score 0-2

Although he scored first, Jacques Vaughn was not excited that the Knicks sent such a lineup, and the intention was very obvious, if the Magic wrapped Li Feng, it would be easy to be shot to death by the Knicks' outside players

Sure enough, when it came to the Magic semi-super players, Rose hoisted the ball high to Li Feng to play in the low post on the right side, and the person who defended Li Feng inside was Howard

Let Howard fight against Li Feng, this is the only option for the Magic, most of the others are not strong enough, and the speed of force is too slow

Li Feng took the ball and retreated, dribbled under Howard's crotch with the ball face frame, and brought the ball to the middle of the middle with his left hand to the three-second zone, Howard was close to Li Feng, Li Feng's left foot was the axis, he suddenly turned back with the ball, and the ball was handed over to the right hand to break through the bottom line, Howard immediately retreated and blocked Li Feng's shooting angle under the basket

Howard's defensive ability is truly comparable to his fame because of age, he has not lost his center of gravity, and his hands are raised high, whether Li Feng shoots a frontal shot or a backhand layup, he is confident to cover

Li Feng took the ball with one hand in his right hand and stopped and lifted it up

Howard thought it was a feint and didn't jump, and he judged it right, but what happened next was unexpected, Smith took advantage of Kirilenko's off-ball cover to shake off Turkoglou from the middle, and Li Feng gently sent the ball out of the middle with one hand

Smith received the ball in the middle, shook off Anderson in one step, and jumped high towards Howard

Howard's attention was on Li Feng, and just turned his head, he could only subconsciously jump...

Howard jumped late and faced a spring man like Smith, and the end of the late jump was that the opponent was dunked into the referee's whistle and sounded

Howard fouls

"Pretty keep playing like this"

Smith and Li Feng clapped their hands heavily

After hitting the free throw, Smith opened the game by hitting Howard with a 2-plus-1 score

Magic passed to Howard again

Li Feng still chose the top defense, it is not feasible to defend against Howard by going around the front, and playing on the frame is his favorite way to attack, and going around the front will make Howard's aerial relay like a probing bag

Howard received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and then turned and hooked the ball to the middle with his back to the middle

Howard has really worked the offense, and although the means are still single, his shooting percentage has improved

Li Feng can't completely limit Howard one-on-one, but the Knicks don't plan to change defenses, because their tactics are very clear, and the offense makes Howard foul and knocks him down

This time, Li Feng pulled the ball outside the three-point line, and Kirilenko pulled it to the high post, which was enough to give the Magic a headache for the whole game

Howard and Anderson could only follow out, and the Magic's interior was completely emptied

Li Feng passes the ball to Wright

Wright dangled on the outside,

Sideways evaded Richardson's defense and passed the ball inside, where Smith singled Turkoglou at a low 45-degree angle on the right

Li Feng and Kirilenko attracted Howard in the high post, creating a wide one-on-one low singles opportunity for Smith

Smith's physique couldn't squeeze in with Tekoglu on his back, but he didn't need to squeeze, and he took two steps with his back and turned to the middle to jump and shoot into Tekoglu

The Magic still gave the ball to Howard, and the Knicks players continued to let Li Feng defend one-on-one

This time Howard's shoulders shook to the left, and then turned to the right to prepare to break through from the baseline, Li Feng blocked the breakthrough route, and Howard shot with a half-hook on the baseline, and the ball was deflected

Kirilenko grabbed the rebound in the backcourt

"Change the defense, outside Xidu defends Li Feng"

Jacques Vaughn shouted at his teammates

Rose dribbled to the front to catch the ball at the top of the arc, Turkoglu and Li Feng kept a step away, and Howard still returned to the inside line to follow Kirilenko

Li Feng dribbled the ball head-on, and at this time, Smith shook off Richardson from the right side and ran in the direction of Li Feng in the middle, looking like he was going to cover Li Feng

Li Feng didn't wait for Smith to cover and took two steps to the right, at which time Tecoglu and Richardson were not in the same mind

Turkoglu bypassed Smith to continue defending Li Feng, and Richardson's attention was also on the forward with the ball, and he unconsciously stretched out his hand to prepare for a steal

Richardson wanted to switch guards with Turkoglou at this point, but Turkoglou didn't understand Richardson's intentions, and the two left Smith empty on the outside

Li Feng seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Smith, who received the ball from the outside and shot, and Richardson followed up to block it and hit a three-point shot

Howard stood at a 45-degree angle on the right side, Li Feng was still a single defense, he actually didn't do anything, just blocked Howard from letting him dunk inside

"Dwight, the Magic don't want to beat you all the time, you might be able to beat me, but you're going to lose by 50 points."

Li Feng said with a smile

Before the ball could be passed, he was half a step away from Howard and began to disturb Howard's mind

In fact, what he said was the truth that Howard has never been the Magic's first choice for offense, and his usual offensive means are two moves, turning around and hooking hands and facing the frame with heavy shoulders, and only relying on Howard's interior offense, the Magic can't win at all

Jacques Vaughn arranged for Howard to attack first, which also eliminated his ability to attract defensive passes to the perimeter, and it was a pity that the Knicks didn't need to wrap Howard at all, like Duncan Yao Ming

This time, Howard took two steps after receiving the ball and handed it to Jason Richardson on the perimeter

Richardson singled Smith and broke through the left side with the ball for a pull-up jumper, and the ball deflected off Li Feng to grab the backcourt rebound

The Magic knew that the Knicks were attacking quickly, and immediately returned to defense, and Li Feng handed it over to the Ross organization

The Magic players were in position, 122 joint defense Li Feng ran out of the outside to hold the ball, and Rose cut into the inside line on the right baseline and circled

Smith burst into the box on the other side and then looped back from the right to make a difference

Li Feng saw the opportunity, handed the ball to Rose at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and then ran to the inside to stand at the position of the husband line, and Smith took advantage of Li Feng's husband line to position the cover, and ran to the high post to catch the ball and shoot

Richardson was not sure about defending Smith, but Tekoglou, who was completely blocked by Li Feng, was half a beat slower, and Smith shot in an empty position, and the ball hit 10-4

Smith made another big move in this game, scoring 10 points in a row to steal the limelight from Li Feng

Barkley shouted:

"The Magic's defense has been messed up, and the difference in strength between the two sides in this game is too big, just J

Smith single-handedly disrupted their defenses"

Kenny Smith laughs:

"Today, the Knicks don't seem to be playing a triangle offense, but relying on off-ball cover runs and passing, I feel more like Princeton on that offense just now, Smith and Li Feng are really tacit."

Just now, Jacques Vaughn shouted "man-to-man" at the players on the court, and he also found that it was very difficult to limit the Knicks by relying on joint defense, and the Knicks did not plan to attack from the inside today

Nelson dribbled the ball more than halfway past Anderson stepped forward to cover, Nelson shook off Rose with the ball, and accelerated past Kirilenko, who was making up for the defense, into the interior and rushed towards Li Feng

Huh? Didn't he pass Kirilenko? It should be empty in front of him, Ai Weilu, why is he still rushing towards Li Feng?

Nelson: I won't shoot in the open position, I'm going to run to your Li Feng side for a layup, I'm just cheap, what do you do with me

Li Feng really let go of Howard and went towards Nelson, and covered the ball with a slap before Nelson made a layup, and the two had a little physical contact in the air, Nelson lost his balance and slammed into the street worse than a newcomer who wrote a book for the first time, but the referee ignored it

Rose picked up the basketball and launched a fast break and passed the ball to Smith

Turkoglu fought to catch up and vowed to take Smith down, but this time Smith was unselfish and passed the ball to Wright

He ran inside to grab the frontcourt rebound, Wright looked at Smith's position, and he was not polite, Richardson stood in front of him, he didn't pay attention to it, and the arc was pulled up and shot in this position, Wright took 100 steps through Yang 13-4

Magic was blinded......

What's worse is still to come, Nelson missed a breakthrough jumper, and Howard, who was eager to grab a rebound in the front court, pushed Li Feng, who was stuck in a favorable position, and needlessly received a second personal foul and was replaced off the court

What the Magic fear the most is that Howard is plagued by fouls because they don't have anyone on the inside

The game has just begun, and the big baby is sitting on the inside line

As soon as Howard overtook Li Feng, he immediately went to the low post to ask for the ball to attack, and after receiving the ball, he turned to the middle and shook off Anderson's jumper

15 to 4

Nelson, Richard, Sente, and Koglou took on the offensive load, but they struggled to break through the Bobcats' defense, and the 122 defense completely occupied the interior space, forcing the trio to shoot from the outside

In the next few minutes, Richardson played well against Wright's defense, scoring six points, but the others were not so lucky, with Turkoglou and Nelson hitting back-to-back irons

Barkley laughed:

"In previous seasons, there were people who raised the theory of Tekoglu's first small precursor, but today you can forget about it, he couldn't find a crosshair under Kirilenko's defense"

Jamal Nelson, another blacksmith for the Magic, was a controversial character during this time, and he regarded himself as the leader of the Magic, missing five shots in a row, and was also covered by Wright when he made up the defense

Not to mention the playmaker, his task is to bring the ball to the front of the league to break through his own attack or throw the ball to Richard Sente Koglou for the two to play
