The next day, the sports pages of major American newspapers and magazines were almost entirely devoted to the old and new war. om

The last result was the one that the media didn't expect, and in their opinion the match was indeed evenly matched, but it shouldn't be decided at the bottom of the game.

Most of the Knicks' players were weak in this game, after all, it is impossible for any player to maintain excellent condition in a season, and this game completely relied on Li Feng to support the entire Knicks team.

Li Feng alone can win against the Spurs, if the other players don't all play abnormally, one or two are normal, can the Spurs still force the Knicks to be so uncomfortable?

The local media in New York believe that the Knicks' strength is truly the first in the league, no matter what the course of this game is, how difficult the Knicks are, their victory is a proof of themselves. In their opinion, the San Novitzkio Spurs are the most convincing touchstone of the league, and the Spurs are the real basketball hegemons, and the victory against the Spurs is the beginning of their hegemony

The New York Sports Journal is a proponent of this view.

They believe that the Knicks have talked to most of the teams in the league in the first 25 games, all of which are Knicks wins, and many games are wild wins, just from the records of the first group teams against each other, it can already reflect the strength of the Knicks.

So, they think the Knicks' title defense this year is unquestionable, and with the Knicks' current roster, they could even create a dynasty.

Of course, most of the media are still cautious at this time, and they think that the Knicks' current excellent record is indeed very convincing, but it is debatable to say that they have built a dynasty. Major media outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post all highly praised Li Feng's outstanding performance in this match. At the same time, they also mentioned in the chapter "Who can stop the Knicks from moving forward?" But they didn't say the words "dynasty" or "defending the title" – apparently, they were still on the sidelines.

In addition, when the Knicks were in the limelight, it was natural that some media would jump out and go against them.

ESPN's Brussard is one of the most aggressive, and every time he disagrees with Li Feng's team in the column, Li Feng will give him a ruthless response with his actions, but he still enjoys it.

Because he knows that this is an era of eyeball economy, and being able to attract eyeballs is the key, so he doesn't care whether his image is positive or negative.

At least, since Li Feng was born, the sales of ESPN, which is against him every time, has been greatly improved. This time Brussard mentioned in his column that the Knicks seem unstoppable right now, but if they encounter a loss, the team's record could plummet.

This game with the Spurs is not so much a victory for the Knicks, but a victory for Li Feng alone, the Spurs have proved with their actions that the Knicks are not invincible Although the Knicks had the most laugh in this game, Li Feng can score 81 points per game?

Brussard also fried leftovers, believing that the Knicks should not trade Derrick Ross Knicks' system last year, which was completely built around Li Feng, a tactic that allowed the young Knicks to even sweep the Miami Heat, and finally beat the star-studded Dallas Mavericks to lift the O'Brien Cup.

And this year, the Knicks traded the solid Lowry and Thornton, who showed a god-class shooter in the playoffs last year, to the so-called league's No. 1 point guard Derrick Rose, and on the surface, the Knicks have won 26 in a row.

But Brussard said in his article that the Knicks brought in Derrick Rose to share the organizational pressure of Li Feng, and at the same time, Rose's scoring ability can also be supported in key moments, which Brussard scoffed at.

"The core of the Knicks is Li Feng, last year's championship affirmed the tactical system around him, Li Feng's data last year was also a shocking average triple-double per game, even the Heat's Big Three could not compete with the Knicks, this year's Knicks also achieved a breakthrough 26 consecutive wins, but this has nothing to do with the Knicks trading Rose a penny, this is all inertia If Li Feng can't be allowed to score 81 points per game, the Knicks don't need to spend a big contract to raise Rose, after all, this summer, it's not just Li Feng whose contract expires, as well as James Harden and others, there is no pressure on the salary of the young team, but when it comes to contract extension, it may fall apart······"

Despite the opinions of the outside world, the Knicks have undisputed become the most watched team in the NBA.

The Knicks didn't have time to pay attention to the media, and after their game against the Spurs, they flew to Dallas to take on another Texas team, last year's Western Conference champions, the Dallas Mavericks.

Last year was the year most likely for the Mavericks, but it was a pity to meet the Knicks, and this year the Mavericks left Chandler and Odom came immediately, and the interior line was also quite weak.

In this game, Tyberdu changed the lineup again, and he sent a starting lineup of Cousins, Li Feng, Wright, Smith, and Rose.

Li Feng scored 81 points last night, and the physical exertion is certain, but today's Knicks' tactics are still centered on Li Feng, and it may be that Tyberdu is fighting back against the media.

"Others are looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers on the outside, forward, you can attack as much as you want, if it's Marion outside defense, use the cover to ask for the ball in the low post, DeMarcus, cover at the top of the arc, Dorrell to the weak side at a 60-degree angle, Derek at a 60-degree angle to drop the ball, JR is looking for opportunities at the bottom corner, when you can't open it, JR can cut from the bottom line, and with the forward to block and dismantle, Derek can also cover the air cut with DeMarcus, understand?"

Wright laughed:

"Coach, not only do we understand, but the opponent should also understand what we are going to do, but they still have to lose."

Tyberdu patted him on the shoulder and said:

"If you can't shoot, I'll replace you, don't be a starter, a lot of times you have to defend Nowitzki, follow him, don't make it too easy for him. Is there anything else anyone else would like to say? ”

Li Feng smiled and said:

"Guys, I'll just say one thing, don't waste my assists when attracting the ball to the pack, otherwise I'll have to work hard again today to cut 80+."

The game was broadcast live across the United States by ESPN, and the commentators were Jeff Van Gundy and Joan Barry.

When he played, Li Feng didn't hear too many boos, on the contrary, there were some supporters in the stands who had supporters away from home, which shows how popular he is now.

Van Gundy took the computer and checked the information, and said with a smile:

"Tickets for the Mavericks' game today are hard to come by.

There is an interesting statistic, at the beginning of this season, the Knicks not only have full attendance at home, but also stimulate box office fans to want to watch the home team and the Knicks play when they play away. ”

Joan Barry said:

"In this game, it is difficult for the Mavericks to compete with the Knicks, Chandler, who is better at defending Li Feng, is gone, Butler is also gone, and now only Marion is left."

The starters on the Mavericks are the same as the Knicks predicted before the game, Brandon Haywood, Dirk Nowitzki, Sean Marion, Jason Terry, Jason Kidd.

Van Gundy Says:

"The main problem of the Mavericks is defense, Li Feng is likely to play the No. 4 position today, he scored 81 points last night, and his physical exertion is serious, but the Mavericks' defense is not the same as the Spurs, Li Feng's shot choice will not be the same, Cousins who is partnered with Li Feng today, Monroe is on the bench, the small forward is Wright, the scoring guard is Smith, Harden is also on the bench, and Derrick Rose, who has been bombarded recently, starts very steadily."

The players stood quietly, with only Li Feng and Nowitzki saying hello.
