On November 30, 1997, after the game against the Suns, the Knicks managed to win their opponents and win 15 in a row.

After tying the opening streak set by the Rockets in the 93~94 season, the team did not get the metaphysical bonus, but had injuries.

The New York media poisoned milk eventually kicked in, and Jeff Van Gundy looked ugly in the post-game press conference and was reduced in the middle of the season, which did not meet the expectations of the coaching staff.

What's worse is that the team is still in the run-in period, and it is almost impossible to expect Chris Dudley to carry the rebounding burden on the bench.

At the post-game press conference, the New York media who were crazy about poisoned milk were silent at this time, and could only ask simply:

"Jeff, that's unfortunate, can you talk about Pat's injury? How many games will he miss. ”

The New York Post rarely didn't make things difficult for the bald young marshal and asked the questions that everyone wanted to know.

"I don't know yet, the medical team didn't have the exact answer, but we have to prepare for the worst!"

"Maybe Pat will miss the rest of the regular season, and all I can say is that this injury is really serious."

"Oh!"

The media in the audience whispered that although everyone consumes gorillas from time to time, Ewing has played for New York for 13 seasons after all.

The gorillas have accompanied the youth of many New York football fans, and in the past 12 years, they have also provided news material for some unscrupulous journalists.

There haven't been too many problems with attendance in the past, and everyone didn't expect Ewing to be so badly injured!

Jeff Van Gundy, who was in a bad mood, pulled a face and began to wander around the world, without Ewing, what to do with the interior defense?

On December 1, the Knicks officially announced Ewing's injury situation:

"Fractured right wrist with torn ligaments"

Fortunately, the gorilla's wrist did not hurt the nerve, and the ligament was partially torn.

But considering that the 35-year-old injured the shooter, the media in New York all looked down on the gorilla, and concluded by the way:

"The days when the Knicks belonged to Patrick Ewing are over"

The NBA league announced the first Player of the Month in the 97~98 season in the morning, and achieved a 14-0 record in November, and Ewing, who led the Knicks to the top, successfully won the award:

Averaged 32.1 minutes per game, averaging 20.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.2 blocks and 2.5 turnovers per game;

With 50.4 percent shooting from the field and 72.0 percent from the free-throw line, Ewing was still very efficient in November with an average of 15.5 shots per game!

It's rare to get the best of the month, but the gorilla can't claim the award in person.

Ewing was transferred to the New York Special Surgery Hospital after being injured, and in the morning Li You and his teammates went to visit the gorilla who had completed the operation:

"Pat, don't worry about your wrist, didn't the doctor say it didn't hurt the nerves? Recuperate with peace of mind! ”

Oakley sighed in his heart, but on the surface he only showed a look of concern.

The old guy has some empathy, but fortunately, Ewing signed a big contract this year, and the second half of his career is guaranteed.

Seeing Ewing's right wrist tightly wrapped and lying listlessly in a hospital bed, Oakley was firm in his quest for a big contract.

"Damn the injury, I just braced my body with my right hand!"

The gorilla knew that his wife Rita and the child were also in the ward, so he didn't scold, but complained very toughly.

Li You put aside the trophy of the best player of the month, and everyone in the atmosphere group did not say a word, and everyone silently looked at the unlucky Ewing.

The last thing players want to face is injury, serious injuries that everyone doesn't want to see, and after leaving the hospital, Larry Johnson also sighed:

"With a big injury at the age of 35, it may be difficult for Pat to get back to his previous form."

"Big Mom's" back injury still recurs from time to time, but there are some minor physical problems, and Larry Johnson still insists on playing.

Alan Houston didn't expect Ewing's injury to be so serious, pulled his tie, and said in a low voice:

"It's a bad time to be sick, Pat is so unlucky, the team is in great shape, and he just happened to win the best of the month, so I thought he was going to play at his peak again."

Li You also felt the importance of a big contract at this time, no matter what Ewing's physical condition is in the future, there is a beautiful knife as a guarantee:

"As long as you are patient and complete the rehabilitation, Pat will be back in shape."

When the old guys heard Li You's comfort, they could only nod silently, but everyone understood in their hearts:

"Ewing's era is probably coming to an end."

“.”

There was no suspense about November's Rookie of the Month, and the Spurs' Tim Duncan managed to win the award!

The Spurs have an 8-6 record, with Duncan starting all 14 games;

Averaged 35.4 minutes per game, contributing 15.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.6 blocks and 3.3 turnovers per game;

He averaged 11.9 shots per game and shot 55.8 percent from the field and 4.3 free throws per game with a 46.9 percent free throw percentage.

Since the Knicks are going to fly to the West to play away again, the coaching staff is naturally concerned about the state of the next opponent, the Spurs.

Winning Rookie of the Month, Duncan didn't look like a rookie at all, and the twin-tower lineup with David Robinson was already quite effective.

"Pat just got injured and we have to face the Spurs in the Twin Towers."

Assistant coach Thibodeau glanced at the Spurs' technical statistics, and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, the rebounding ball was probably unbearable.

"We also have an advantage, the Spurs are far from us on the outside, shrink the defense, there won't be too many problems."

Assistant coach Don Chaney is more optimistic, and in his opinion, the Spurs are all refusing to shoot from the outside, and even if there is an extra big man, it will not change anything.

After a brief discussion, everyone began to pack their things, and in the afternoon the Knicks were about to leave for San Antonio.

Jeff Van Gundy was not in a beautiful mood, pulled his face and never spoke.

The situation within the Knicks is not complicated, with veteran players and new players vying for stats.

After many years with the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy is naturally on the side of the veteran players, and if he serves Ewing well, he can keep his job and at the same time ensure the team's lower limit.

After witnessing old Nelson being swept away, the bald young marshal lay flat.

The rise of Li You has made Jeff Van Gundy hang up frequently, and now without Ewing's containment, the prestige of the head coach cannot be raised

In November, Li You played an average of 29.0 minutes per game, averaging 16.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.0 turnovers per game;

He averaged 11.5 shots per game and shot 47.71 percent from the field and 5.9 attempts from beyond the three-point line with 42.8 percent three-point shooting and 4.1 free throws per game and 88.2 percent from the free throw line.

Li You's extremely efficient top point guard data made Jeff Van Gundy speechless, and when he saw this Excel that was infinitely close to two doubles, he had no choice but to think:

"How do you command a player like that?"

On the morning of December 2, the Knicks were already in San Antonio.

At breakfast at the hotel, everyone chattered and gossiped:

"Sprewell is crazy? Locked the throat of the head coach? ”

The atmosphere group is whispering gossip about the news in the morning, which is a big deal, which directly detonated the major sports media, and the headlines on the front page are all throat locked.

Warriors' All-Star guard Latrill Sprewell locks head coach P.J. Callesimo in practice.

The media followed the hype, claiming that the throat lock lasted more than 10 seconds, and the coach of Callesimo almost went to God on the spot!

Such bad behavior naturally made the Warriors management furious, and immediately announced that Sprewell was suspended for 68 games.

The Warriors have exactly 68 games left in the regular season, which means the All-Star guard's season is all over.

Jeff Van Gundy was silently eating breakfast, and the bald young marshal always felt that Lee Yo and Larry Johnson were looking at him from time to time.

Thinking of "Big Mom" practicing boxing every day, the corners of Jeff Van Gundy's mouth twitched:

"NBA head coaching is indeed a high-risk profession."

After Tim Duncan joined the team, the Alamo Dome expanded its capacity and opened up more seating every now and then.

On the night of the 2nd, the Alamo Dome was flooded with more than 30,000 spectators.

Although the center matchup is no longer visible, fans who like to watch and have fun buy tickets to watch the game to witness the Spurs end the Knicks' winning streak!

Of course, there are also some Knicks fans who buy tickets to watch the game to witness the birth of a new record.

Popovich, a rookie coach, is not qualified to brag about X, and Jeff Van Gundy has the best coach in the league, and he is no longer a rookie who can touch porcelain.

In his pre-match interview, David Robinson did not talk about the outcome of the game, but sent his best wishes to Ewing:

"Pat is a good guy and unfortunately he's got a serious injury and hopefully he'll be back to health soon!"

“.”

The match, which was supposed to be a center-forward matchup, was broadcast live across the United States by TNT.

In the commentary booth, after both teams completed the appearance ceremony, Dick Stockton felt a completely different atmosphere from last year, and immediately joked with a smile:

"The Tim Duncan effect, you can see that the San Antonio fans love this big man!"

Hubby Brown looked at the technical statistics and then said aloud:

"In the games against the Jazz and the SuperSonics, Duncan has not played well, and in the last few games, the points have been in single digits."

"Maybe he's hit the rookie wall, but Duncan has been doing a good job of rebounding, which is a tough one for the Knicks to deal with, and the Spurs have a huge height advantage inside."

The Spurs' twin-tower lineup also made Dick Stockton nod frequently, noticing that the starting list had not changed, and immediately introduced:

"The Spurs are still backed up by Avery Johnson and Vinnie De Nagro, with Sean Elliott and Tim Duncan up front and David Robinson at center."

"The Knicks, Buck Williams came to the starting lineup, and it seems that coach Van Gundy still trusts the veterans more."

The players on both sides completed the final warm-up, came to the center circle position, and after a brief greeting, everyone on the Knicks team was ready to retreat, and there was no suspense in the jump ball

David Robinson jumped to possession with ease and Johnson dribbled quickly across the halfcourt.

The two sides also played each other last season, and after watching a lot of Spurs game videos before the game, Li You did not choose to stick to the defense, but stayed inside the three-point line and waited for the opponent to launch a tactic.

Coming to the right flank and noticing Lee's defensive position, Johnson immediately signaled that David Robinson needed a deeper position.

Noticing that his teammate arched low, Johnson dribbled a few steps forward before delivering a lobbed pass.

Johnson, nicknamed "The Little General," began to direct his teammates to pull away after completing the pass, while motioning for Duncan to go inside.

Simple and rough offense, David Robinson didn't wait for Li You to help defend, put his right hand behind the ball, leaned on it, and then immediately turned to the direction of the baseline, took advantage of the height, and made a quick jump shot!

"Bang!"

As soon as the basketball came out of the box, David Robinson arched inside and got the rebound on the head of veteran Buck Williams.

Putting the basket under the basket, David Robinson, who was disturbed, still failed to complete the offense, the basketball slammed out of the basket again, the basket was lower right, Tim Duncan saw the opportunity and grabbed the rebound behind Oakley!

It was also a quick basket, but the basketball came out of the frame again

"Oh!!"

missed two consecutive rebounds, and the Spurs fans at the scene exclaimed, and soon everyone saw Duncan grab the frontcourt rebound again, but before the ball was released, Li You, who rushed in from the outside, split his head and covered his face with a big hat!

"Squeak!!"

The referee immediately blew for a foul on Li You's beater, and the Alamo Dome Stadium was booed for a while.

Oakley glared at Duncan with an ugly look on his face, and then exchanged fists with Li You.

The sturdy big hat, Li Youquan hit it.

Duncan, who shook his hand, stood on the free throw line, hit the first free throw, and the second shot was aimed at for a while, and the result was iron.

"Bang!"

The rebound popped up, and the veteran Buck Williams dragged David Robinson behind him, Oakley stuck Duncan for the first time, and finally Larry Johnson on the side accepted the rebound.

"Big Mom" turned around and threw the ball to Lee Yoo on the right wing outside the three-point line, and the Knicks immediately launched a conversion offense.

Along the right sideline, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, kept accelerating, and the Spurs seemed to be prepared for a long time, and the defense was fast.

David Robinson, despite being affected by injuries and not yet in his best physical condition, was as fast as a defender at this point, making it back to the paint zone in a few big steps

Popovich on the sidelines was very satisfied with the speed of the team's defense this time, and clapped his hands loudly to call the players to quickly align themselves.

On the right wing, close to the three-point line, Lee Woo began to slow down, turned his head to look at the top of the arc, and noticed that Oakley and Buck Williams also rushed to the half court and immediately dribbled behind their backs.

The moment he switched to his left hand, Li You lowered his center of gravity, and his body was misguided to the right, and Avery Johnson was shaken and subconsciously slid to the left.

Without giving the opponent much time to react, Li You suddenly accelerated, took a big step forward with the ball in his left hand, suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, and quickly jumped after closing the ball!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

"Shh

The fans at the scene booed, and Popovich on the sidelines froze, he was going to direct the defense.

Rookie coaches always like to increase their presence, and Jeff Van Gundy is different, the bald young marshal sat on the bench and didn't get up at all, simply clapping his hands to indicate that he was attacking beautifully.

Duncan was just stuck in the interior position, and when he turned his head again, he found that the Knicks had retreated, and the Spurs were ready to open the baseline.

Subconsciously looking at the bench, Duncan felt that this was very different from the pre-game game plan, but no one gave him feedback

The Spurs' offense is still simply and brutally David Robinson's one-on-one.

The right elbow of the free throw line received a pass, followed by a simple tentative step, and then David Robinson made a dry jumper.

Capable of shooting, veteran Buck Williams is difficult to defend the general, and the pace of the two sides is not even on the same channel.

The Knicks didn't care about the cheers at the scene and continued to quickly send out the baseline shot, and Lee Yoo was immediately defended by Avery Johnson this time.

The young general, who is less than 1.8 meters tall, is very aggressive defensively, showing a completely different defensive attitude from last season.

Li You, who had long been accustomed to such a defense, still accelerated, turned quickly, and immediately rushed through the half after switching to his right hand.

Alan Houston quickly slipped past the baseline from right to left, and with the help of Buck Williams' cover on the left baseline, he quickly bounced outside to the left blocking area.

After arriving at the position, he suddenly made a sharp stop, pretending to ask for the ball with his back, and taking advantage of De Nagro's defense, Alan Houston accelerated again and quickly bounced to the left wing.

Just after the half-court, Li You at the top of the arc immediately sent a horizontal pass, Alan Houston received the ball without making too many adjustments, and threw the ball away!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

6:2, two rounds, the Knicks led by 4 points.

"It seems that the Knicks have completely changed their tactical play, and Van Gundy intends to use outside offense to suppress the Spurs."

"Lee and Houston got into the groove very quickly after the opening, and it was a test for the Spurs as well."

It's really interesting to see the Knicks quickly retreat again, and Huby Brown on the commentary bench with a smile on his face, with a completely different game strategy.

Dick Stockton noticed that Duncan was receiving the ball in the left blocking area, and wanted to comment on it, but Duncan didn't shake it too much, and after a tentative step, he made a dry pull-up jumper in front of Oakley!

"Huh!" Solid mid-range hits.

Duncan quickly stepped back and the Spurs began to pick up the tempo of the game.

After a few rounds, everyone on the Knicks quickly realized that they couldn't guard David Robinson, and then as soon as the opponent rushed inside, they would immediately foul.

The fans at the scene thought that David Robinson would dominate the interior, but as the game progressed, David Robinson turned over and hit the jumper, and the free throws followed suit.

Standing at the free throw line again, David Robinson hit one of two free throws, and the second free throw just knocked out of the basket, and Oakley protected the backcourt rebound.

Lee Yoo received the pass, and Avery Johnson came up to the defense.

Even if there are two rounds of iron, Avery Johnson does not dare to be careless, and keeps giving physical confrontations after sticking to the defense.

The Spurs, who were fast in defense, had already completed their defensive position at this time, came to the left flank, and Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, began to slow down and protect the ball sideways.

Avery Johnson's hand kept on Lee's side while constantly interfering.

Ignoring the defense on his side, Li You, who was protecting the ball sideways, suddenly exploded the ball vigorously on the spot, twisted his body back quickly, and then suddenly lowered his center of gravity, re-fished the ball with his left hand, and broke through with his shoulder.

On the left wing, Lee You's sudden 45-degree cut immediately made the Spurs change their defensive formation, and Duncan saw his teammates out of position, and quickly shrank into the paint area near the baseline on the left side to block the breakthrough route.

Just approaching the left blocking area, Li You suddenly made a sudden stop, blew the ball on the spot again, then quickly dribbled behind his left hand, and after switching to his right hand, he immediately accelerated to the paint area.

Completely lost the defensive position, Avery Johnson re-posted the defense, and was carried away by Li You with his body, without waiting for the opponent to make a block, in the paint area in front of the basket, his right hand completed the throw.

"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.

"Brilliant offense! Lee successfully read the Spurs defense and scored easily! ”

On the commentary bench, Dick Stockton praised loudly, and the Knicks' offense was also very simple, with all the blocks and pick-and-rolls, covering jump shots, and singles with the ball.

Lee Yoo punched two punches higher than Avery Johnson, and there was a gap in size between the two, and Popovich on the sidelines reluctantly gave instructions and continued to give the ball to the inside.

Several rounds in a row were out of position, and Avery Johnson was extremely annoyed.

The intention of this attack to Duncan's pass was too obvious, Avery Johnson sent a smashing pass, and the moment Duncan bent down to receive the ball, he was vigorously cut by Li You, who quickly assisted the defense.

Duncan, who wanted to bend over and scramble for the ball, lost his center of gravity and immediately threw himself into the street, making a sudden mistake that also made a hole in the Spurs' defense.

After completing the steal, Li You quickly got on the ball, and Alan Houston, who received the ball in the middle, received the ball and rushed across the halfcourt.

After being delayed by Gnagro and moving to the left flank, Alan Houston immediately gave the ball to Oakley, who was fast following up in the middle.

After the latter received the ball, he made an easy layup before Duncan could return to defense.

At 16:12, the difference returned to 4 points.

As Duncan received the ball in the left blocking area and missed the basket, Oakley received the rebound, and Lee Woo rushed up again, and the Spurs fans on the scene began to erupt in loud boos.

David Robinson rushed to the paint area again, just gained a foothold, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that the right wing Li You suddenly dribbled behind his back, shook off his teammates who were close to the defense, and there was a small step outside the three-point line, and he threw it directly

Duncan, who was still retreating, saw the basketball arc and fell into the basket, and subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at his big brother.

"Exaggerated projection distance! Lee hits a converted three-pointer again! ”

This season, the NBA league readjusted the distance from the three-point line, from 6.7 meters to the previous 7.24 meters, and Dick Stockton didn't expect Li You to throw it so far.

Avery Johnson was also a little confused, he thought that Lee Woo stopped the ball outside the three-point line to organize the offense, but he made a wrong judgment and watched the shot.

At 19:12, the Knicks began to score quickly.

With 3:45 left in the first quarter, Popovich reluctantly called a timeout, and whenever the Spurs were close to the score, the Knicks were able to respond from the outside.

The blind chicken threw in a good ball, Li You hit the iron, and Jeff Van Gundy didn't get up to dissuade him, and it turned out that he was right again.

“Good job！”

Assistant coach Don Channey smiled and patted Li You, who walked to the bench, this lineup, only Larry Johnson will play a dozen low posts, the offense is simple, and the pace is fast.

3 out of 5, Li You has scored 8 points, and after showing his aggressiveness, the opponent will definitely make a targeted defense, so he returned to the bench and immediately reminded him:

"Watch the catch! Near the free throw line, there will be open opportunities! ”

Oakley nodded, and was continuously slashed on the head by the Spurs' hairy boy, and the offensive end naturally had to respond.

Jeff Van Gundy spoke dryly, raised his presence, and after the pause was over, he resumed hosting.

In the final minutes, just as Lee had expected, Duncan and David Robinson began to help up more of their defense.

The two big men are not slow and very flexible, suitable for sweeping the defense, Li You is no longer reluctant to attack at this time, but after attracting the defense, he quickly gives the ball to the empty space.

Duncan hit another two-pointer after a tentative step on the left side, and when he came back, Oakley faked a cover in the right elbow area, and Duncan tried to match Avery Johnson to complete the defense.

But Li You's ball was faster, and without waiting for the two to close, he quickly hit the ground in the blocking position, and in the elbow position, Oakley received the ball and made a jumper in response.

Shrinking the defense, naturally, also comes at a cost, and Gnagro blossomed and hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Before he could celebrate, Alan Houston responded with a back-to-back single, De Nagro in the right block position.

By the end of the first quarter, the Spurs fans had gone silent in the Alamo Dome.

At 27:20, the Knicks still led by seven points.

"David Robinson was still recovering, scoring 10 points on 3-of-9 from the field and 4-of-9 from the free-throw line, and Tim Duncan was 3-of-6 from the field and had six points."

"The Spurs' role players didn't respond, and Avery Johnson made 1 of 2 free throws and only scored 1 point."

Hubby Brown had no idea that the Spurs would not be able to play to the height advantage, and David Robinson would be too inefficient in the face of pinch shots.

Tim Duncan played almost the entire first quarter and was back on the bench with his eyes straight on Popovich.

Being panicked by the sight, Popovich simply emphasized:

"Defending well is just beginning!"

thought that the coaching staff would respond, but it turned out to be a big cliché emphasizing defense, Tim Duncan frowned secretly, and for a while he only felt that the rookie coach was still unreliable.

On the Knicks bench, the rotation lineup was ready to come on, and Alan Houston was in a good mood and took the initiative to high-five everyone:

"The starting lineup conceded rebounds, but our rotation shouldn't lose points."

Alan Houston, who scored 11 points in the first quarter, was 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 1-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, and 2-of-2 from the free throw line.

Li You didn't look at the technical statistics, but David Robinson's free throws made him impressed, and after changing into training clothes, he also joked in a low voice:

"Maybe the opponent won't shoot more than 50% of his free throws tonight."

Easy scoring and fast-paced offense made the starting 5 feel comfortable, even Oakley, who had 2 fouls, had a smile on his face.

As Alan Houston expected, the Spurs' rotation struggled to score, while Starks scored back-to-back points.

After hitting a three-pointer on the counter, Starks roared and Popovich was forced to call another timeout.

The game went on for 4 minutes and 01 seconds, and the Spurs only scored 2 points, and at this time, the defensive cheers of the fans at the scene were gone.

At 34:22, the margin came to double digits.

Popovich thought he could blow up the Knicks' interior with the twin towers, but David Robinson was not in shape, and his aggression continued to decline as the game progressed.

Don't attack on the inside, but shoot farther and farther, and the free throws will not come.

"The Spurs can't just play with Duncan and Robinson, and that would make the Knicks' defense shrink and smaller."

"With Lee back on the field and three rounds in a row to score easily from the outside, Avery Johnson may be looking to chase after him."

When Hubby Brown saw the Knicks scoring multiple players, he felt bored for a while, and the Spurs had no tactical system and would only do it alone with big men

"This season is Popovich's first season in charge of the Spurs, and the addition of Tim Duncan has strengthened the team."

"But for now, it looks like they'll need more time to get used to each other."

Dick Stockton saw Duncan, who stood on the free throw line in consecutive singles, and also sighed secretly, and could only rely on free throws to score.

At 25:18 in the first quarter, at 52:38 after halftime, the Knicks entered the second half with a 14-point lead.

Duncan, who walked towards the players' tunnel, was still expressionless, and there was a problem with the pre-game preparation, and the first half was completely blinded.

When Jeff Van Gundy returned to the locker room, he saw the crowd talking and laughing, and suddenly realized that Ewing was not as influential as he thought.

The team will lose rebounds, but with the current lineup, it will not be robbed by the opponent.

The interior defense can't withstand it, but you can quickly recover it if you lose 2 points.

Without Ewing on the offensive end, after Li You opened up the situation with the ball and attacked, he could also drive others.

After tidying up his coat, Jeff Van Gundy adjusted his mood, came to the locker room and knocked on the whiteboard, smiled and said:

"Excellent! We executed the game plan perfectly! ”

"Keep the rhythm like this, don't relax in the second half, we're going to continue the record tonight!"

“.”

In the second half, the Spurs also failed to turn the tables against the wind, with David Robinson constantly making free throws and Tim Duncan's jumpers constantly scoring.

But the Knicks have +3 from time to time, and the point difference has always been up and down at 10 points.

Lee Yoo didn't give the Spurs any chance, firmly controlled the pace of the game, and with 2:42 left in the game, Popovich called a timeout, changed the atmosphere group, and announced that he would concede.

The fans who deliberately bought tickets to watch the game boasted wildly and boasted about the game for two or three days, and the result was this?

"Shhhhh

At the Alamo Dome, more than 30,000 people erupted in boos that made Popovich look ugly, and the Spurs were not a three-point team, but they were taught a lesson by the Knicks tonight.

At 100:85, the atmosphere group on the stage did not relax, and in the end, the Knicks defeated the Spurs.

On the TNT commentary bench, Hubby Brown praised the Knicks after hearing the director's prompt:

"In the 97~98 season, the Knicks won 16 consecutive games after the start of the season, setting a new record!"

"In the absence of Patrick Ewing, the team played a different style of play and everybody took on the scoring task."

'Coach Van Gundy made timely adjustments and has to be commended for his performance and the coaching staff!'

Dick Stockton glanced at the technical stats and happily added:

"Approaching the age of 20, Lee has become the core of the current Knicks team!"

"I've seen this game, I'm going to vote for him at this year's All-Star Game!"

“.”

Tim Duncan was 9-of-15 from the field and 5-of-8 from the free-throw line for 23 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover;

David Robinson finished with 23 points, 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and three turnovers on 6-of-18 shooting and 11-of-20 free throws.

At 37:44, the Knicks lost 7 rebounds, and the Spurs combined for 8 frontcourt rebounds.

Back in the locker room, Li You took a look at it and put aside the technical statistics.

In an unequal game, the Spurs made 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, a fatal flaw.

Since the next game will continue to fly away, but fortunately, the opponent is the Mavericks, who have lost consecutive games since the start of the game, and the coaching staff is also relieved.

Jeff Van Gundy has long seen the technical stats:

8-of-17, 4-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, 24 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.

The bald young marshal has nothing to guide in this regard, so he can only continue to send chicken soup after the game:

"Keep it that way, now every time we win, we're making new history!"

“.”

In the absence of gorillas, the Knicks break the record and the New York media climax again!

On the morning of December 3, New York fans were a little stunned when they saw the "league's strongest backcourt" in the newspaper, but everyone quickly agreed.

In the game against the Spurs, Alan Houston was 7-of-14, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-4 from the free throw line, with an efficient 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover.

Coupled with Li You's 24 points, the two combined for 44 points, almost half of the Knicks' scores.

Two days ago, he was still shouting "fight for Ehu", and when he turned his head, he drummed up a "strongest backcourt in the league".

The speed at which I like the new and hate the old is amazing!

Ewing, who is still recuperating in the hospital, was worried about the team's record at first, but after reading the newspaper, the gorilla was angry enough.

Obviously, the New York media was consuming him before, deliberately sensationalizing the first two days, and now they forget about him as soon as they turn their heads

On the night of Dec. 4, the Knicks handed the Mavericks another big loss.

At 106:90, less than three quarters of the game, the Knicks easily clocked in.

The starting lineup played steadily, with Chris Childs scoring 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the bench, plus Starks' 13 points, the two supported the firepower of the rotation lineup.

This is the first time Nelson Sr. has encountered his old club since taking over the Mavericks.

In two consecutive games, the Knicks' round count has increased to 84, which is almost exactly the same pace as the current Mavericks.

Seeing the updated Knicks team, the old Nelson had mixed feelings, if he had persevered for another year, he would have been successful.

With a 17-game winning streak, the Knicks' record continues!

On Dec. 6, back at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks dominated the game on both ends of the floor.

At 79:104, the Knicks' starting five players all scored double-doubles, beating the Hornets again.

By the end of the game, Madison Square Garden was already boiling, and New York fans were happy to see the home team in the spotlight of the league.

Tonight's game was extraordinarily engaged, and every goal caused a huge splash.

Immediately after the game, Walter Fraser, who was dressed in a gray suit, interviewed Li You with a smile:

"18 wins in a row, an incredible record! Lee, talk about the current state of the team! Will we continue to win? ”

Wearing the white training uniform of the home team, after hearing the question, Li You confidently replied:

"Of course! Tomorrow night's back-to-back matches, we'll still be victorious! ”

'With Pat out injured, everybody needs to take more responsibility and we did that, as coach Van Gundy emphasised, we play for each other.

Mike Brin has a smile on his face, and tomorrow night's back-to-back games will see the Knicks face the 76ers, who are currently 4-11.

Considering the opponent's fish belly attributes, the winning streak is likely to continue:

"Can you talk about the team's perimeter offense? I've noticed that we've gone up a lot in the number of rounds. ”

Hearing Mike Brin's inquiry, Li You smiled and briefly introduced:

"More off-ball running, more covering, stretching up space to attack, and in addition to outside shooting, Larry can solve problems in the low post."

"Charles and Buck's rebounds are the biggest guarantee for us to win, and the pitchers have times when they're out of shape, but people don't worry about it because the rebounds are always ours."

The three of them laughed and blew on the sidelines, and on the other side, Jeff Van Gundy had a complicated expression, and he lost control of the team again.

At the end of the game, in Madison Square Garden, the fans were still cheering loudly, but Jeff Van Gundy felt bored at this moment:

"Whose team is this?"

On December 7, the Knicks ushered in back-to-back games at home.

Just in time for last Sunday, tickets were in short supply again, and scalpers were gone

The 76ers, led by head coach Larry Brown, just suffered a big defeat.

In the first two games, the 76ers were blown up by the Nets!

At 16:40, in the first quarter of the game, the Nets scored 40 points.

In the end, 88:107, the 76ers lost by a big score.

After the game, Larry Brown was sprayed by the Philadelphia media.

The famous coach was found to win the championship, but the team's record swooped into the top spot.

Allen Iverson has been in a slump since the start of the game, and there is nothing Larry Brown can do about it.

On the night of the 7th, Larry Brown also lost control of the team, and Allen Iverson opened the game with a hard spree, constantly cutting points.

But as the game progressed, the 76ers made more and more mistakes, and in the fourth quarter of the game, they fell behind by 12 points before they knew it.

With 3:02 left in the game, Larry Brown on the sidelines crossed his arms, shook his head slightly, and asked for a timeout.

But after the adjustment, the 76ers failed to respond on the defensive end and eventually lost the game quietly.

At 93:105, the Knicks easily defeated their opponents and won 19 in a row!

At 21:11, with the rebounds close to the mix, the 76ers paid for a lot of turnovers.

Winning the game and grinning, Li You didn't bother to pay attention to the gossip of Iverson and Larry Brown, and when he met the fish belly team, he just had to seize the opportunity and stabilize the abuse.

"Lee, here! Can you sign me? ”

"Will we continue to win? Lee, I want to see the team keep winning! ”

"I'll be waiting for you at the hotel, Lee, don't forget me!"

“.”

On both sides of the players' tunnel, the fans in New York screamed, and after Li You quickly signed the autograph, he left a smile on the red-haired tank, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked back to the locker room.

On December 8, the NBA league announced the Player of the Week for the first week of December, and the Knicks' Lee Woo successfully won the award:

In this week's game, the Knicks are 4-0, and Li You played an average of 35.3 minutes per game, averaging 24.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.2 turnovers per game;

Regardless of the strength of the opponent, regardless of the small data sample, the New York media collective climax!
