On November 9, 1997, after the all-for-all Knicks easily defeated the Kings, the first week of the new season ended with a winning record.

The opening wave of 6 consecutive wins suddenly made New York fans excited!

The winning streak doesn't tell the story, and the most important thing is that the main squad rarely plays more than 30 minutes.

Chris Childs, Starcks, and Chris Mills can guarantee the firepower of the bench.

In the starting lineup, driven by Li You's organization, five players scored double-doubles in several games

6-0, immediately put the Knicks at the top and led the league.

After returning to New York, the Knicks continued their highlight performance and started a winning streak!

Week 1's Player of the Week award went to the Eagles' Mutombo, to which the New York media went on a frenzy.

In the three games of Week 2, the Knicks beat the Nuggets, Raptors, and Kings in a row.

Although these three teams are not strong, and the Nuggets have not won a game since the start of the game, stability is also a characteristic of a strong team.

Especially in the game with the Raptors, the Knicks only allowed the opponent to score 70 points, which can attack and defend, showing absolute dominance!

Compared to the Knicks' 9-0, the Bulls have a 5-4 record after the No. 15 win over the Cavaliers.

This made the New York media very excited, in contrast, no matter how you look at it, the Knicks are stronger!

The four games in the third week did not cause much trouble to the Knicks.

For three consecutive away games, the Knicks have defeated the Rockets, Hawks, and Wizards;

Back at Madison Square Garden on the 23rd, the Knicks beat the Grizzlies!

At 80:104, the New York fans who clocked in for the third quarter and bought tickets to watch the game were so happy that they screamed.

Perfect start, 13-0, breaking the opening streak in Knicks history!

In this week's game against the Rockets, Ewing did not perform well, allowing the opposing Olajuwon to score 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting, and only 12 points himself scored.

Fortunately, Barkley was injured again, Drexler was in a stretched state, and in the end, the Knicks had a thrilling victory over the opponent.

Two days ago, the media in New York would have belittled the gorillas, but after such an excellent record, the wallgrass changed their tone and almost blew Ewing as the "first center"!

Ewing, who was soft and hard, was 7-of-11 tonight and scored 19 points efficiently, but MSG still interviewed Lee Woo for the first time after the game.

The legendary Walter Fraser was in a particularly beautiful mood, with a constant smile on his face, won the game by a big score, and began to help Li You with a loan:

"Lee, you will get the All-Star ticket king this year, look at the New York fans on the scene, everyone supports you!"

“Wow！ Then I'd like to thank you all in advance, and honestly, I can't wait! ”

Li You is also happy to follow the braggadocio X, and when he returns to the home court, he has to brag and chat, and New York fans like these exaggerated statements

Mike Brin on the side felt the joyful atmosphere of the scene, and the smile on his face continued:

"Lee, 13 consecutive wins, breaking the team history record, can you briefly talk about the secret of the Knicks' win?"

For such a question, Li You was naturally prepared and tried to show an excited look:

"We have the best coach in the league and the coaching staff gives their opinion after a game and makes everyone aware of the team's problems."

"Maybe in individual games, we will have some ups and downs in form, but with solid defense, we can always win games."

"Coach Van Gundy has brought us together, we play for each other, and that's the secret to the Knicks' winning.

Walter Fraser and Mike Brin nodded their heads again and again, this is the Knicks that everyone is looking forward to, and Mike Brin sighed and said:

"The best coach in the league deserves it, and Coach Van Gundy deserves more respect!"

At the post-match press conference, the bald young coach of the trusteeship was a little weak-hearted, he really didn't expect the team to play 13 consecutive wins.

However, Jeff Van Gundy has completely gotten rid of his sidekick and sat on the stage with a confident smile on his face, showing a handsome demeanor.

"Jeff, congratulations on leading the team to a historic start!"

"Next week, the Knicks only have two games, will the team continue their winning streak?"

"We have a chance to tie the record set by the Rockets!"

The New York Times reporter was also a little excited, in recent years, only the Rockets have been winning in a row, and in the 93~94 season, the other side won the championship.

Although it was the championship won by the Knicks, the media in the audience didn't care about the details anymore, everyone wanted to get the metaphysical bonus!

Jeff Van Gundy came straight to the tactical back, and confidently replied:

"Of course, we have four days off and the team is in good shape and we will finish November with a winning record!"

Many media in the audience applauded, and the bald young marshal was no longer weak-hearted, and he was very proud in his heart:

"What is the best coach in the league!"

In the bustling metropolis of New York, there has always been little patience for the weak, but as long as you are strong enough, the media and fans here can blow you to the sky!

In the last week of November, major print media not only helped the Knicks loan the championship, but also put the hats of "first point guard" and "first center" on the heads of Lee Woo and Ewing.

If it weren't for Alan Houston's mediocre performance, the "No. 1 scoring guard" would have to change hands!

Pat Riley was also picked up at this time, and various articles mocked the champion coach in a weird way:

"No one can leave New York and be successful!"

"After leaving the basketball mecca, Pat Riley has been completely overtaken by Jeff Van Gundy!"

As soon as the regular season began, fans and media in New York went into a state of madness.

After a few days of rest, the Knicks did not disappoint the fans, defeating the Pistons on the 28th, bringing the winning streak to 14 games!

Back on the 29th, Madison Square Garden was back to back, and tickets were in short supply.

New York fans want to be there to watch the Knicks tie their winning streak at the start of the regular season.

The Suns don't want to be a backdrop, but veteran Kevin Johnson has also had an injury recently, and Kidd has held up the team, but the game that night was pulled along

At the end of the half, the score was fixed at 27:55, and the fans in the stadium began to celebrate the victory in advance!

The Gorillas didn't feel good in these two games, and according to the previous rotation, it was time to rotate in the second half of the third quarter, but in order to find his form, Ewing insisted on playing for a while.

As a result, in the first round after the timeout, Charlie Ward, who had just come off the bench, broke through and sent an aerial relay to Big Brother, and the gorilla jumped up in the air to catch the ball, trying to complete the empty dunk with the momentum, but the accident happened.

After losing by a big score, Danny Manning chose to foul directly, and after the two duel in the air, Ewing lost his center of gravity and fell directly to the floor.

"Oh!!"

The fans in the stadium exclaimed, and Jeff Van Gundy buzzed in his head when he saw Ewing clutching his right wrist in pain:

"Shet! How so! ”
