On March 18, 2003, the Knicks played a wave of consecutive wins and played away to the Spurs that night.

The schedule in the first half of the month did not cause too much trouble for the team, but this week ushered in 7 days and 5 games, and the back-to-back games are destined to rotate in large areas.

The Spurs currently have a 47-18 record, three wins behind the Mavericks and second in the West.

Popovich's recent job has been to help Tim Duncan get the MVP vote, and whether it works out or not, as a head coach, he has to cheer for his thighs!

In the Western Conference, Duncan can still suppress the power forward at the same position, but unfortunately, because Excel is not explosive enough, he has not won a monthly award so far.

The NBA doesn't give the best of the week to Lee Woo frequently, but the best of the month is not stingy, which marks the MVP belonging, and in this regard, Duncan has fallen far behind.

San Antonio's sports media always wanted to get Popovich out of class, in large part because Tim Duncan had so few accolades under his tutelage:

Best Team, Best Defensive Team, Best Rookie of the Month, Best Rookie, "Offensive and Defensive Integration Award", "Future Champion Award".

As a superstar, Duncan doesn't even have a trophy with the word "MVP" on it.

The sports media in San Antonio blamed Popovich as the main reason for the result.

This season, the Lakers are in a state of stretch, and the sports media in San Antonio saw another opportunity, thinking that Tim Duncan could lead the team to rise, but they didn't expect the Knicks to play against the sky.

In March, David Robinson suffered an injury and Steve Smith was not in good shape, and although the Spurs' record was not affected too much, they were a little short of the Knicks.

In Game 2 of the week, the Knicks can rotate widely tomorrow and let go of back-to-back games, but tonight against the Spurs will have to hit hard.

At the SBC Center Arena, after kick-off at 18:30 that night, some Spurs fans lost the mind to eat and watch, and the game was even more stretched than they imagined.

The Spurs were able to barely hold on to the score in the first three quarters, but after the start of the fourth quarter, there seemed to be some problems with the response ball

Tim Duncan didn't rest in the second half, and with 9:06 left in the fourth quarter, Lee Woo returned to the court, and Popovich still didn't make a substitution.

Duncan hit the second free throw, and Popovich on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted for his players to step back.

80:76, although the score difference is not large, but the Spurs are showing decline.

The Spurs' starting backcourt was Parker and Steve Smith, who were really not very good on the defensive end, and Duncan, who was forced to play the No. 5 position, had to fill up the two on a lot of the occasion.

Up front, Bruce Bowen and Marrick Rose also didn't contribute much, with the former hitting two three-pointers and the latter scoring eight points on a pie and two rebounds.

Perhaps because he didn't want to lose at home, Popovich went into the final quarter of the game, and his rotation was very conservative.

“Defense！.”

Li You dribbled the ball across the half court with his left hand, and the sound of defensive cheers resounded through the arena again.

The Spurs also did not put up a zone defense at this time, without David Robinson, the height and rim protection ability declined, and the first three quarters of the game were not effective, and at this time they switched to man-to-man defense.

Duncan followed Gasol at the right elbow to the baseline, and Kurt Thomas didn't step up to the basket and led Marrick Rose to the left near baseline.

When Parker noticed that the Knicks' two wings were also starting to move toward the two corners, it was too late to greet his teammates.

Li You slowly moved to the left flank, and while his teammates stood still, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and dribbled the ball in place twice extremely quickly.

Switching back to his left hand and pulling the ball back slightly, Lee Woo leaned in to accelerate, and Parker, who had been babbling and defending, slid desperately to the right back, trying to establish a defensive position in advance.

Dribbled a big step, just came to the three-point line, Li You suddenly made a sharp stop, and while exerting his right foot, he retreated sharply, threw off the defense and returned to the three-point line, and the left wing drifted and jumped!

"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.

"Shh

The Spurs fans in the scene immediately booed, and Parker looked helplessly at the head coach on the sidelines.

Sensing that the enraged Popovich began to output him, Parker also wanted to shout at the old man:

"I tried my best."

On the TNT live commentary seat, Marv Albert began to blow the X again, and this self-indulgence is getting more and more time:

"Bowen's pace can't keep up with Lee, Parker's confrontation is too bad, obviously Lee is going to start harvesting the game, and he can't be stopped tonight."

Old Dunleavy, as tonight's partner, saw that the Spurs gave the ball to Duncan again, and immediately said helplessly:

"Duncan needs to use more energy to catch the ball away from the basket, and his jump shot tonight is mediocre, so it's not a good offensive option."

The left blocking area received the ball with his back, and the moment Duncan got the ball, Parker accelerated and cut into the basket, Li You continued to chase the defense, and the two quickly ran to the bottom right corner.

The Spurs rotated around on the perimeter at this time, trying to give Duncan space to attack, but the Knicks' defense shrunk very small.

Kurt Thomas, who was near baseline on the right, kept his eyes on the back, ready to block Duncan's throws from the line.

Seeing Duncan turn around and attack with the frame, Gasol no longer defended, but kept a certain distance.

In the face of such a defense, Duncan quickly released the ball with his right hand, and suddenly pulled the ball and turned around while Gasol re-attached the defense.

The moment the ball was re-fished with his left hand, Duncan leaned on Gasol to the bottom left of the basket, and wanted to force it directly, but Kurt Thomas also blocked it.

The two worked together to defend, and Duncan's left-handed shot under the basket finally knocked out of the frame.

Malik Rose picked up the frontcourt rebound under the basket again, took the ball to strengthen, and helped defend Li You under the basket with a big hat on his head!

"Ahh

The moment the ball was dropped, Marik Rose screamed, but the referee didn't say anything, and Li You took the ball again and rushed after controlling the ball.

Parker stepped forward to interfere, but Lee Yoo immediately played the ball, and Grant Hill received the pass and pushed the ball to change direction, switching to the left hand while accelerating along the left touchline to the half.

Bowen could only follow the slide, but Grant Hill was getting faster and faster, and the two were soon on the left flank.

Still showing no signs of slowing down, Grant Hill leaned on the defense and went straight to the basket.

Jumping up to make a block, Bowen's defense worked, and Hill's layup near the bottom left of the basket ended up knocking out the basket.

After Bowen landed, he had already rushed out of the bottom line, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Li You, who was following up in the middle, soaring into the air.

As soon as the basketball left the basket, Li You, who was still in the air, grabbed the ball with his right hand, ignored Parker in front of him, exerted his body, and pressed the ball back into the basket!

"Boom!" Basket dunk.

Parker, who jumped up and down to collect the rebound, almost plunged into the audience under the basket after landing on the ground.

Artest, who ran to the half court together, was even more excited than Li You, finished hitting his chest to celebrate, and shouted at the audience:

"Ahh

Duncan, who retreated to the three-point line, ran back to the half court with a blank face, and this kind of physical crushing has happened many times.

At 85:76, the Knicks doubled the score again.

Duncan has a tendency to be dumb, and Popovich is still signaling to give the ball to his thigh as soon as possible.

Changed directions, came to the right blocking area to receive the ball, and Duncan began to play vigorously after releasing the ball with his left hand.

It's just that the receiving position is slightly higher, on the right flank, Artest simply gave up the opposite Bowen and helped defend the pinch early.

Duncan received the ball and immediately threw it into the hands of Bowen, who was unguarded on the right flank.

It's not his own dessert bit, Bowen still resolutely projects after a slight adjustment!

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed into the front of the basket and was picked up by Grant Hill, who retracted into the paint.

Circumambulating the ball behind his back, Grant Hill, who switched to his right hand, got rid of Steve Smith's defense and accelerated with the ball in his right hand.

Parker saw his teammate out of position, and after starting in the bottom corner, he chased after him, and Bowen also accelerated back to the defense, and hesitated to follow Artest to the right flank.

Steve Smith didn't switch in time, and Hill, who rushed across the halfway line, took the opportunity to give the ball to Lee You, who was trailing behind.

In desperation, Parker continued to run after the ball, and hurriedly chased to Li You's side.

Receiving the ball with his right hand, Lee continued to accelerate when the opponent was close to his side, forcing Parker to keep sliding to the left back.

Suddenly stopped during the march, Li You, who lowered the center of gravity, pulled back his hips, and Parker wanted to continue to pounce under inertia, but there was a split under his feet, which remained in place.

"Shh

In the boos of the Spurs fans, Li You closed the ball with his feet, completely shook off the defense, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

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

On the Knicks bench, everyone in the atmosphere group cheered, followed by Li You raised his right hand and raised three fingers to celebrate happily.

At 88:76, the margin reached double digits, and Popovich immediately called a timeout.

This time he didn't blame Parker again, but Popovich was also in a bad mood, his face was long, and he waved directly at Ginobili on the bench.

D'Antoni knew the Spurs didn't have a lot of reliable rotations, and after a few words during the timeout, he handed the tactics board to the assistant coach.

On the commentary seat, Marv-Albert saw such a scene and began to slap his ass again:

"Coach D'Antoni completely overwhelmed the opponent tonight, the Spurs were very sluggish on offense, and they relied too heavily on Tim Duncan."

The elder Dunleavy on the side was speechless, not relying on Duncan, and no one could support the offense.

After the timeout, the Spurs didn't knock Duncan again, and the offensive end simply played a pick-and-roll.

At the top of the arc, Parker took advantage of Duncan's cover and quickly changed direction to the left hand and just got rid of Lee You, who was walking down the line to defend.

In the face of the sudden opportunity, at the top of the arc, Parker finally chose to combine the ball and made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

"Hell!"

Parker let out a low curse, and the basketball smashed on the back edge of the basket, bounced to the edge of the rebound, and finally fell off the baseline.

With such a projection performance, the Spurs fans at the scene were cold, and the defensive cheers were gone for a while.

Duncan touched Parker's head, and then beckoned his teammates to retreat, unable to shoot how to chase points, so he could only defend.

Although Duncan didn't talk much on the court, he kept clapping his hands at this time, and after returning to half-court, he commanded his teammates to align in time.

The Knicks also ran through the halfcourt early at this time, with the two big men sinking to the bottom line, and Artest and Hill stopping on the left and right wings.

In the noise, Li You slowly dribbled through the half, and did not rush to attack, but waited for the opponent to wrap up.

Ginobili, who had just made his debut, was a little hesitant as Hill had already started to move towards the bottom right corner.

Parker followed the coach's arrangement and pounced in front of Li You early, the opponent did not cover it, and Gasol also tried to speed up and quickly came to the top of the arc.

Popovich, who was on the sidelines, slapped his thigh and instructed Ginobili to wrap the bag, and Li You took this opportunity to quickly dribble behind his back and move sideways.

The moment he switched to his right hand, in the face of Duncan's big delay, Li You took advantage of the situation to wrap around the ball.

The basketball flew under the crotch and passed through the human slit at the same time, subconsciously cutting the ball with his right hand, Duncan just bent over, Li You reacted faster, squeezed through the human slit while pushing forward with his left hand, and the basketball jumped forward.

In the blink of an eye, Parker lost his defensive position, Duncan didn't cut to the basketball, and the Spurs fans at the scene exclaimed again, and Li You, who was fishing for the ball again with his right hand, had rushed to the paint.

Facing Marrick Rose, who came up to help defend him, Li You jumped with both feet in the paint area, took off against the defense, and grabbed the ball with his right hand in the exclamation of the fans, and dunked violently from the other person!

"Boom!" Break through the storm dunk and succeed!

Marrick Rose, who was under the basket, seemed to be frightened, did not make any defensive moves, and watched Lee Woo beat his chest and put an X on the ground

At 90:76, the SBC arena was silent, and the game was probably gone.

The Spurs, who are in a scoring drought, occasionally rely on Duncan's free throws and baskets to score some points.

This performance made the Knicks' defense more and more fierce, and Parker's blocking on the left wing was squeezed by Li You, and instead of passing the ball in time, he instead pulled back with his left hand.

Li You has been guarding on his side, squeezing in front of him at the same time, cutting the ball with his left hand, completing the steal, and immediately poking the ball forward.

Seeing Parker drop the ball, Popovich on the sidelines turned his head in annoyance, just as the old man expected, Li You crashed away from the defense and grabbed the ball with his right hand, 1 hit 0 in the front court, and came with a one-handed split!

It seemed that the mentality exploded, and in the next round, Parker broke through the ball, and the right bottom corner was empty, and he threw the ball directly to the audience.

Two consecutive turnovers, on the Spurs bench, the atmosphere group's eyes were also straight, Popovich did not hold back, and asked for a timeout and sprayed Parker off the court

In the last few minutes, the two sides still did not change the main lineup, the Knicks blossomed inside and outside, and the Spurs fans sitting at the back even left the court early.

At the end of the game, another wave of boos erupted in the SBC arena, and many people seemed to have a hard time accepting the result.

At 110:90, 32 points were scored in a single quarter, and the Knicks beat their opponents!

Playing 45 minutes, the Spurs were still the same, continuing to beat Duncan, 9-of-19, 9-of-15 free throws, 27 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers.

Duncan's double-double stats couldn't lead the team to a win.

Parker was sprayed by Popovich and played 40 minutes, shooting 6-of-17, 0-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-6 from the free-throw line, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 turnovers

Ewing was still laughing with David Robinson after the game, the gorilla was getting rounder and rounder, and Robinson was still full of tendon meat.

But with the blessing of the champion, Ewing showed a famous demeanor, and Robinson had a wry smile on his face.

At this time, Li You was being interviewed, and the efficient play of the game in the fourth quarter allowed him to play efficient statistics again:

He was 14-of-23, 5-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, and finished with 41 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover.

Craig Sager is used to Li You's outburst, and at this time the two talked about the topic of MVP:

"The Knicks have won both of these meetings this season, does that mean Tim Duncan will miss out on MVP?"

Most of the MVP rankings are big men in the West, Nowitzki, Duncan, and Garnett

In the Eastern Conference, Lee Woo is in 1st place and Kidd is in 5th place.

The current Knicks' record is very good, but Lee Woo is still very modest:

"It's just a normal regular season game, the Spurs are second in the West, and they've been adding great talent to the outside this season."

"Duncan is still a strong contender for MVP, and I love competing with such good players."

Craig Sager, who has entered a state of business blowing, shook his head when he heard this answer, and like many of his peers, no one can compete with Lee Woo this season.

Every time a loss is made, the sports media in San Antonio give Popovich a meeting.

After losing by 20 points, Popovich had a hard time this week, but in an interview, he still sent chicken soup:

"We just can't shoot, that's what happens in the regular season!"

"David will be fit, Smith will be back in shape, the team is still on the rise, and the Spurs will be back in the Finals this season!"

The Knicks still have to continue back-to-back games, and by this time ESPN has begun to warm up for the McDonald's All-Star Game for high school students.

There are NBA games and NCAA games in March, but this year LeBron James's popularity has skyrocketed, and the McDonald's High School All-Star Game will also be held at Gonzaga University at the end of March.

Jeff Van Gundy has also been very busy lately, and as a championship coach, he will face a new challenge, and there are already Cleveland fans who are starting to welcome him, which makes the bald young coach a little fluttery.

On Thursday, March 20, the Knicks lost back-to-back to the Hornets last night to usher in their second loss of March.

There was no discussion of the topic of achievements in the TNT program, and the bald young marshal was invited, and the trio began to gain popularity.

In the studio, the increasingly mellow Jeff Van Gundy put on a handsome demeanor, and his black dress and red scarf looked very reliable.

Kenny Smith continued the conversation and smiled and asked the bald young marshal:

"Jeff, Syracuse University is showing great quality at the moment, and Carmelo Anthony seems to be more technically mature than LeBron James."

"What do you think of the two of them?"

March Madness will certainly affect the draft, and Carmelo Anthony is also attracting a lot of attention at the moment.

"It's hard to compare the two, and by NBA standards, they both need to get used to it for a while when they get into the league."

"We all know how important the talent is to get a foothold in the league, and in less than three seasons, I'm sure both of them will make a name for themselves."

The NCAA championship will bring a lot of bonuses to the newcomers, and Jeff Van Gundy's comments are all about the scene.

On the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school student, Charles Barkley is also a little curious about James:

“The Chosen One？ Do you think he'll be the next Lee? ”

"I haven't been paying much attention to high school students lately, but everyone seems to have a high opinion of him!"

The February issue of Sports Illustrated caused quite a stir, but Jeff Van Gundy shook his head when he heard the question:

"No, it's hard for LeBron James to surpass what Lee has achieved."

"Basketball is for five people, and Lee's rise is like Magic Johnson, who had great teammates at the beginning of his career."

"For LeBron James, he should learn more from Michael Jordan."

"It's going to be difficult at the beginning of his career, but it's his chance, maybe he can't keep winning like Lee, but he has a chance to save Cleveland Sports."

All three could hear that Jeff Van Gundy intended to be the "savior", and no one could comment on this, and Ernnie Johnson could only change the subject:

"The Knicks have five games to play this week, and the good news is that they're going to meet the Bulls in back-to-back games."

"72 wins? Lee has a chance to lead the team to break this record! ”

When it came to this topic, Jeff Van Gundy was silent, and Kenny Smith hurriedly made a teaser:

"In late March and early April, the Knicks won't face too strong opponents."

"Of course, let's not forget the last time Lee and Michael Jordan met, and TNT will also have a feature report."

“.”

On March 21, Billups sent warmth to the Knicks, and the core guard was 2-of-12 from the field, 1-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 10 points from the free throw line.

The New York fans were happy to survive tonight's game, and the Bulls had a record on Day 2.

At 88:104, after the game, Madison Square Garden was boiling again!

Ben Wallace recorded 7 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover tonight;

Artest ate a dumpling, 7-of-13, 3-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 turnovers.

In an interview after the game, Artest laughed happily and continued to shout loudly for himself:

"I'm the best perimeter defender of the season and I'm confident I can limit any opponent!"

"Rebounding? That's not my job, I don't like to snatch my teammates' stats, Kurt and Paul will protect the basket! ”

Artest is clearly brushing up on the yin and yang weirdness Ben Wallace

However, "Big Ben", who returned to the locker room for an interview, didn't care about this:

"I just focused my attention on the defensive end and rebounding was my job."

"I don't care about the stats, as long as I'm on the pitch, I'm going to fight for rebounds, that's the way I play, and I trust my teammates on the offensive end!"

The high-level statistics have not been completely perfected in these years, and Ben Wallace has been trained in the Knicks, so he naturally knows his strengths.

He won't give up rebounding, "Big Ben" intends to continue to reap the accolades, and his defensive efficiency numbers are currently far ahead, even if Artest is crazy about lemons, it can't change this result.

On the plane to Chicago on the second day, Artest was so angry with Ben Wallace's "cheekiness" that he kept jumping around

Li You and Jackson were playing Texas Hold'em, and when they noticed Artest's appearance of "scratching their ears and cheeks", everyone began to joke:

"Ron's season give up! The opponent's stats are so beautiful!

"Rebounds, blocks, and steals can all rank among the top few interior players, and DPOY is likely to be his."

As soon as Stephen Jackson's voice fell, Grant Hill on the other side added:

"Win two years in a row, and your chance for next season will come!"

DPOY also has aesthetic fatigue, although Artest is aware of this, but always feels that winning awards like this is "inferior".

"This guy definitely brushed the stats, and the Pistons gave him all the rebounds!"

Listening to Artest's sour words, Li You encouraged again:

"I don't mind competing with a steal king, but you have to keep the foul count under control and don't always get a third foul in the first half."

The reason why the Knicks have been able to play such an excellent record this season is due to the steals of Lee You and Artest.

A team that relies on swing forwards is likely to be out of action when they meet the Knicks.

New York fans have witnessed many occasions when Artest pressed the defense, the opposing player hurriedly returned the pass, and Lee Woo made a steal with ease.

In some games, the two can continue to complete steals through the prediction of the ball path and the cooperation of the opponent's goals and plays.

The New York media has been cheering for Artest this season, but the data of "Big Ben" is perfect, so there is a high probability that DPOY is still the other party's.

Thinking of the steal king, Artest was a little depressed, and the competitor was in the team.

The Knicks ended their seven-day, five-game schedule after a win over the Bulls, with only two opponents in the next four games of the month, the Raptors and the Nets.

On Monday the 24th, the Raptors took on the Knicks on the road.

Affected by Carter's injury, the Raptors have only a 21-47 record so far.

Considering the remaining schedule, the Raptors are likely to go home fishing.

The injury did affect Carter, and the dunk king that night turned into a jumper, and he didn't play aggressively throughout the game.

The Raptors made just 14 free throws in a game, mostly focusing on Antonio Davis and Alvin Williams.

After a 15:28 run in the third quarter, the atmosphere group of both teams took over the game.

In the end, 86:102, the Knicks were in average condition, but they still easily defeated their opponents.

After the loss, the Wilkens coach took the initiative to congratulate D'Antony:

"It's been a perfect season, you've been fantastic!"

"On both ends of the floor, the Knicks are the better team."

Hearing the compliment of the head of the Qiansheng sect, D'Antoni smiled in his heart, but on the surface he put on a modest posture:

"It's just a fluke! The Knicks are a championship team and I just did the little work! ”

Wilkens speechless, tiny work? You're on the verge of tying the all-time best!

On the 26th, he challenged the Nets away, and Kidd and Jefferson both broke out.

At 97:104, the Knicks suffered their third loss in March.

After a full day's rest, back at Madison Square Garden, 100:124, the Knicks beat the Nets again.

On the 30th, in the last game of the month, the Knicks won away against the Raptors, with a record of 66-8.

The popularity of the NCAA and the "Chosen One" has been stolen again, and the Knicks have a chance to break the best record in history!

At the beginning of April, the cover of Sports Illustrated changed to Li You again.

The whole cover is very simple, and Lee Woo, who is fully armed in the Knicks' home jersey, folds the ball in front of his chest with both hands, and the corresponding title reads:

“GOAT？！”

This kind of title has been used many times for Li You, but fans just don't get tired of watching it, and everyone enjoys the atmosphere of tearing up after buying the magazine

On April 2, the Knicks ushered in another road trip to the West.

The Nuggets are now completely in a state of slump, and the first away opponent has no intention of fighting, and Li You is also clocking in in the third quarter.

In the ensuing back-to-back games, facing the old man Jazz team, Li You once again punched hard!

At 110:90, after winning the game, Nesler was still chanting after the ESPN commentary booth:

"No one can stop the Knicks from breaking the record!"

Challenging the Clippers back-to-back, under a large area of rotation, the Knicks didn't give the other side a chance, and still beat the opponent by 20 points!

On April 8, at Madison Square Garden, Walter Fraser interviewed Lee Woo with a smile before the game.

This famous man has been taking out frequent loans recently, and he has swelled up to the sky:

"There are five games to go, Lee, are you feeling some pressure now, we're getting closer to the record!"

The Knicks' opponent tonight is the Hawks, who currently have a 31-45 record and have already confirmed fishing.

Li You, who was wearing a training uniform, was no longer polite when he heard the question, but said very confidently:

"There's a lot of pressure, but we have a good schedule! We host the 76ers in two days' time. ”

"In the next back-to-back games, we will meet the Cavaliers again, and I believe in the quality of the team, and we will win all of them this week!"

Walter Fraser couldn't help but nod his head, his smile getting brighter and brighter, and he believed Li You's words.

Every time Eddie Curry comes to New York, he is not in a beautiful mood, and if he is not traded in the draft, Gasol's place is his!

Glenn Robinson's form slipped further after coming to the Hawks, failing to slap Ray Allen in the face, and by the way, further proving that his former teammate's words were right.

After repeated beatings in the past few seasons, Jason Terry stopped talking before the game, and the Hawks continued to lose quietly.

At 90:108, the Knicks continued their winning streak, and the New York media had already begun to celebrate the team's record-breaking!

As the weather warms up, more and more people in Manhattan are wearing Knicks T-shirts.

The whole city began to boil as we entered April, and although James Dolan did not take a stand, the team's management had already prepared a record-breaking commemorative peripheral.

On April 10, the 76ers who came to New York locked themselves in hotels, and the Knicks in Manhattan became more and more numerous.

The 76ers have a decent record, currently holding a 43-34 record.

Larry Brown is planning to run, but he wants to make a last-ditch effort this season!

On the night of the 11th, before the game had even started, the shouts of "overrated" were getting louder and louder.

The 76ers played back-to-back games, and Iverson wore headphones to complete the warm-up, trying to block out the noise, but unfortunately it was limited, and the shouts of the fans upset him.

Coach Larry Brown continues to line out the "Death Five":

Eric Snow and Iverson are in the backcourt, and the front three are Greg Buckner, Kenny Thomas, and Teylon Hill.

Just as New York fans expected, the Knicks blew up their opponents in the first half of the game.

Kurt Thomas and Gasol had a lot of good shots under the basket, and the 76ers' outside offense was also heavily defended by the Knicks' wings.

At 42:63, at halftime, the DJ started screaming, the happy fans squirmed, and everyone began to celebrate the victory in advance.

There was no headwind, and the 76ers lost the game as always.

86:113, the Knicks are getting closer and closer to the record!

In 42 minutes, Allen Iverson gave his all, shooting 8-of-21, 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and 3-of-5 from the free-throw line to score a team-high 20 points and dished out 11 assists.

Despite six turnovers, Larry Brown kept praising his disciple after the game:

"I saw Allen's hunger to win, and it's just a normal regular season game and we're going to focus on the opponents behind us."

Iverson didn't give interviews and left early at the end of the game, and for the small defender, New York was his nightmare.

On the night of the 12th, in order to ensure their top pick, the Cavaliers pulled their hips early.

At 109:87, losing this game, the Cavaliers' record came to 15-65, and the Son of Akron was destined to be theirs!

Cleveland fans also stood up and applauded after the game, and after the win, the Knicks' record came to 72-8, successfully tying the best record set by the Bulls in the 96 season!

Ricky Davis showed the appearance of a boss and took the initiative to hug Li You after the game:

"It's incredible, Lee, and it's great to see you able to accomplish this!"

"Cleveland, remember to text me, it's not as good as New York, but I promise to keep my brothers happy!"

Li You looked at the "boss" who combed the ditch head, his expression was slightly strange, if his memory was correct, this one would soon say goodbye to Cleveland:

"No problem, Bro! Looking forward to our next season! ”

“.”

On April 14, the Knicks took on the Wizards on the road.

The original gimmick of this match was "the last fight between Lee and Michael Jordan".

But as the Knicks' record came to 72-8, the opponent was a dunk again, and the heat exploded for a while.

Before the game, Charles Oakley didn't care about Mai Ku's mood, grinned in an interview, and took the initiative to wish:

"73 wins, oh! It's really awesome and I love this Knicks team. ”

"Records are meant to be broken, and Milestone would love to see it!"

The old guy has been gloating lately, and for Oakley, his happiness at the moment is built on the pain of Mai Buckle.

The evening's game was broadcast live on ABC's national screen, and it was really fun to break the record set by Michael Jordan in the spotlight!

Winning the All-Star Game MVP, Mai Buckle was in a good mood.

But as the season progressed, the Wizards lost consecutive games, the Knicks continued to win, and Michael Jordan began to reprimand the team's angry bag with a pulled face

37-43, the Wizards have decided to fish, but Kwame Brown is still having a hard time, and the old guy is always criticizing him.

Before the start of the game, in the dressing room of the away team, Li You was surrounded by sports reporters.

Everyone knows that the Knicks will definitely beat the Wizards, and it is difficult to lose this kind of abusive game.

As for the old man's tyranny? There is no such possibility!

ESPN's reporter tried to hand the microphone in front of Li You, ignoring the angry eyes of the people around him, and hurriedly asked loudly:

"Lee, how do you feel about breaking the record in front of Michael Jordan?"

The reporters around hurriedly brought the recording equipment to Li You's side, and everyone wanted to eat melons with them.

The national live broadcast broke the record, Li You was very satisfied with this script, he knew that Mai Button was in a bad mood, and he didn't say much at this time:

"Records are meant to be broken, and when I see a new record before I officially retire, I hope I like this gift!"

“.”

After the start of the game that night, most of the Wizards had no intention of fighting, only Mai dunk kept asking for the ball, and spared no effort on both offensive and defensive ends to try to win the game.

Stackhouse was unaggressive in the game, not constantly hitting the basket as usual, but hitting consecutive jumpers.

At the end of the half, at 58:36, Mai Button, who walked to the players' tunnel, pursed his lips and looked very ugly.

Although the Knicks took the rotation early in the third quarter, the excited Stoudemire didn't know what it meant to be merciful and got the opportunity to dunk.

In the end, the All-American Live Wizards lost undignifiedly.

At 112:80, the Knicks beat the Wizards and won 73!

Won the Rookie of the Month in March, and continued to score points in the game in April, Stoudemire was happier than anyone else after the game, hugging his teammates and yelling.

The Wizards fans didn't care about the outcome of the game, and everyone stood up and applauded.

Doug Collins has witnessed the rise of Lee Woo and has commented on many Knicks games at NBC.

He really didn't expect to witness such a scene one day, and after the game, he watched Mai Kou sitting silently on the bench, and he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart:

"A new era has really arrived."

D'Antoni hugged everyone he could, and the mustache realized what it means to be "God's favor" at this moment, and broke the best record in history in his first season in charge of the team!

D'Antoni, who was holding Li You and didn't let go, said excitedly:

“Thank you！ Lee！ ”

Li You patted the "future famous marshal" and saw his teammates hugging each other, and couldn't help but say meaningfully:

"The Knicks are young, and our era has just begun!"

On the other side, Ewing and Oakley also hugged each other and whispered laughter, the Wizards players all congratulated Lee, and finally Michael Jordan, who was wearing a training uniform, also stepped forward to hug and greet.

It was also a historic moment when the surrounding sports media were all around, with cameras flashing wildly and microphones in front of the two men.

The inner and outer three floors were circled a few times, but the two people in the crowd had long been accustomed to such a scene:

"73 wins! I did it, to witness such a record before retiring, and I hope you enjoy this special gift! ”

Hearing Li You's words, Michael Jordan raised his eyebrows helplessly, and finally smiled and stepped forward to bump his fist again:

"Yes, you did! Don't lose the Grand Final! Otherwise, you're the biggest joke! ”

"Hah!"

Li You laughed when he heard this, which reminded him of some interesting memories:

"No one can take my championship this year! Don't forget to watch the news, the Knicks will also have the best record in playoff history! ”
