On December 5th, everyone on the Knicks flew to warm Miami early, and when they were old, people were afraid of the cold, and Patrick Ewing complained about the weather in New York after getting off the plane:

"It's just December, and at night, it's close to 0 degrees in New York, and if you look at Miami, it's paradise."

Ewing has been in New York for so many years, but he still doesn't like the climate of the Big Apple, and the lowest temperature in Miami in December is 15 degrees.

"I love Miami chicks, there are so many white chicks in New York, sun, sand, big ass, maybe that's why Pat Riley chose this place!"

Charles Oakley only wore a white short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, and the old guy wore sunglasses, leisurely choreographing Pat Riley's affair.

The cute new Walter McCarty had a resentful expression on his face, and followed behind with a large bag and a small bag.

With a month of regular season going on, the newcomer only managed to get four minutes of playing time, and Oakley felt that the opponent must not have developed, so he threw all the team's chores to McCarty.

The old guy not only did not allow others to help, but even gave a high-sounding reason:

"You can't help on the court, you can work hard off the court, and the Knicks don't raise useless players."

This is also the first time Li You came to Miami, and he felt a completely different weather, and he also sighed in a low voice:

"It's really cold in New York in comparison, but I still love winter."

Larry Johnson immediately retorted when he heard Lee Yo's words:

"It's hot, at least you can see beautiful girls dressed coolly, think about New York now, all of them are tightly wrapped, Miami is really a good place!"

Unlike the players' laid-back mentality, Jeff Van Gundy knew that the Heat would definitely get back face during tomorrow night's game, and immediately told him when he arrived at the hotel:

"Have a good rest tonight, and before 12 o'clock, we will all go back to the hotel!"

When the coaching staff heard the sparse response, they knew that the players were not taking it to heart.

By the time it was free time in the evening, Jeff Van Gundy found that there were no players in the hotel...

On the night of the 6th, the Miami Arena was packed, and the Heat had a great start to the season, with the local press and fans singing the praises of Pat Riley.

After the Heat returned to their home court, they played their "iron-blooded" basketball again.

While giving physical confrontation, as long as the Knicks break through, they have to eat elbows, and in some cases, they will make you lie on the floor.

The tendon-clad Mourning continued to entangle with Oakley after the opening game, while PJ Brown continued to rush for rebounds in the frontcourt.

Tim Hardaway has been "on TV" frequently in the past two days since he was shaken down by Li You.

Both ESPN and TNT are happy to rub off hot spots, and under the fanning of the media, Hardaway completely broke out tonight:

8-of-19, 1-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-10 from the free-throw line, 25 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 7 turnovers.

The Heat's three-point shooting was completely collapsed, shooting 6-of-24 and shooting 25% from three-point range...

But under the "iron and blood" defense, the Knicks' offense was completely dismantled by the Heat.

At 82:88, the Heat won the game hard at home.

Mourning and PJ Brown left the court with six fouls midway through the fourth quarter, as did Charles Oakley and Larry Johnson, who were fouled early in the fourth quarter.

In 41 minutes of play, Mourning was 3 of 10, with 10 points, 16 rebounds, 2 blocks and 4 turnovers, and PJ Brown only scored 4 points.

Pat Riley relied on two inside shots to completely lock Ewing, and the Gorillas shot less than 30% on 5-of-17 shooting tonight.

12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 turnovers, although there was no foul crisis, the frequent confrontation made Ewing completely lose his shooting touch.

With a home win, Pat Riley regained his face and smiled and patted his former assistant.

On the bench of the Heat, Stan Van Gundy also comforted his younger brother, the Heat team has put a lot of effort into studying the game video these days!

"Shhhhh

At the end of the game, seeing Li You limping towards the players' tunnel, the fans at the scene booed again.

I wiped the floor twice tonight, and my thigh was also pushed twice, coupled with the collision of my knees, after these two games, Li You was left with a hard injury...

Tim Hardaway was also lame, the force was mutual, his legs were not made of steel, and when he went to the basket, he was frequently elbowed, and he was forced to wipe the floor for several rounds.

After returning to the locker room, Ewing was not in a beautiful mood, and he did not take advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's interior 6 fouls left the game, and the New York media must have another output.

"14-5, the Heat are on the rise, I don't want to lose the Atlantic Division championship again!"

Several veterans heard Starks' words and showed depressed expressions.

In the first two seasons, the Knicks were suppressed by the Magic, and this year the other team disintegrated, and as a result, the Heat popped up again...

Not only did they not win the championship in the past two years, but they also lost the division championship, and the New York media sometimes didn't want to see the old guys, which was also related to the fact that they didn't win anything in the past two years.

Li You touched his chin while applying ice and thinking about the championship, the division champion also has a flag, theoretically, he can draw [talent] once.

Even though the old guys love the Miami climate, the team flew back to New York overnight and will face the Clippers back-to-back at home tomorrow night.

The media in New York did not collectively criticize Ewing this time, but more hyped Li You's performance.

In the hard-to-go game with the Heat, Lee Woo made 5 of 10, 2 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, and 4 of 7 from the free throw line, and got 16 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

not only got the highest score in the team, but also the best overall performance, the New York Times followed the trend and threw a cliché title on Li You's head:

"Michael Jordan who is 7 centimeters shorter!"

On the morning of the 7th, Li You looked at the news in the newspaper and almost squirted the milk in his mouth.

Has Michael Jordan started mass production?

The two games between the Knicks and the Heat were the highlight of the week, and Tim Hardaway still showed grace in his post-game interview:

"Lee? He's a special rookie, I don't care about dangling, it's great to see young players using my moves! ”

Lee Woo turned on the TV and could see the New York sports channel covering the two games, and at the same time, Pat Riley's name was frequently mentioned, and Jeff Van Gundy was compared...

In the afternoon, when Lee Woo drove Starks to Madison Garden, the veteran sent out an invitation:

"Christmas is coming, do you want to come to my side for the holidays, the Christmas war is not our share!"

The Knicks are indeed a bit outdated, and the Christmas game is the highlight of December, and the league only arranges two games: Pistons vs Bulls and Lakers vs Suns.

Li You, who was driving, felt that it was not bad not to fight the Christmas war, and it happened to be a party with friends at Christmas:

"Young people's party, I have to go out at Christmas, say hello to my family on my behalf!"

Starks smiled when he heard Li You's words, saying that he didn't care about the Christmas war, but the whole person looked a little lonely.

The Knicks at their peak were definitely the darlings of the league, and they were loved by the media with a championship coach like Pat Riley in New York.

In '94, Starks and Oakley were also selected as All-Stars, and the old guys are nostalgic for the old days...

Starting December 7, the Knicks ushered in five consecutive home games.

Jeff Van Gundy has found Lee You's instruction manual once and for all.

In the second half of the first quarter, it was played for another 8 minutes in the second quarter, and the second half was the same, just about 30 minutes.

encountered 4 bad teams in a row, and with the blessing of staggered peak travel, Li You's data began to rise steadily.

After easily winning the 5-18 Nuggets, the Knicks' record also came to 17-5, once again tying the Heat's record.

At the press conference after the game, the media in New York no longer embarrassed the young coach who was about to go bald, and with the blessing of his excellent record, Van Gundy was also a little inflated:

"Our goal is still to win the championship, this year the team is more mature and I believe we can reach the finals again!"
