NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 93 The Unlucky Gorilla
On November 1997, 11, after the Knicks, who were all soldiers, easily defeated the Kings, the first week of the new season ended with a complete victory.

A wave of 6 consecutive victories at the beginning immediately excited the New York fans!

The winning streak still doesn't explain the problem. The most important thing is that the playing time of the main lineup rarely exceeds 30 minutes.

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

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

With 6 wins and 0 losses, the Knicks immediately reached the top and led the league.

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

The player of the week in the first week was awarded to Dikembe Mutombo of the Eagles, and the New York media once again spat.
In the three games in Week 2, the Knicks beat the Nuggets, Raptors, and Kings in a row.

Although the strength of these three teams is not strong, and the Nuggets have not won a game since the start of the game, stable abuse of food is also a characteristic of a strong team.

Especially in the game against the Raptors, the Knicks only allowed their opponents to score 70 points, able to attack and defend, showing absolute dominance!

和尼克斯队9胜0负相比，在15号战胜骑士队后，公牛队的战绩为5胜4负。

This made the New York media very excited. In contrast, no matter how you look at it, the Knicks are stronger!
The 4 games in the third week did not cause too much trouble for the Knicks.

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

Back at Madison Square Garden on the 23rd, the Knicks beat the Grizzlies even more!
At 80:104, three quarters clocked in, and the New York fans who bought tickets to watch the game screamed happily.

Perfect start, 13 wins and 0 losses, setting a record for the Knicks' opening streak!

In this week's game against the Rockets, Ewing performed poorly, allowing the opponent Olajuwon to score 14 of 10 and score 24 points. He only scored 12 points.

Fortunately, Barkley was injured again, and Drexler's state was stretched. In the end, the Knicks beat their opponents without any risk.

Two days ago, the media in New York would belittle the gorilla, but after such an outstanding record, the fools changed their tone and almost called Ewing the "No. [-] center forward"!
Ewing, who was soft and hard, scored 11 of 7 tonight and scored 19 points efficiently. However, MSG still interviewed Li You immediately after the game.

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

"Li, you will win the All-Star ticket this year, look at the New York fans at the scene, everyone supports you!"

"Wow! Then I want to thank everyone in advance. To be honest, I can't wait!"

Li You is also happy to follow the bragging X. When he returns to the home court, he has to brag and chat. New York fans like these exaggerated speeches
Mike Brin on the side felt the joyful atmosphere of the scene, with a constant smile on his face:
"Lee, 13 consecutive victories, a new record in team history, can you briefly talk about the secret of the Knicks' winning?"

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

"We have the best coach in the league. After a game, the coaching staff will give opinions to make everyone aware of the team's problems."

"Maybe in individual games, we will have some ups and downs in our state, but relying on a stable defense, we can always win the game."

"Coach Van Gundy unites us even more. We play for each other. This is the secret of the Knicks winning. Dangerous and tired!"

Walter Frazier and Mike Breen nodded again and again. This is the Knicks team that everyone is looking forward to. Mike Breen even sighed and said:
"The best coach in the league deserves its name, Coach Van Gundy should get more respect!"

At the post-match press conference, the bald young marshal under the trusteeship was a little guilty. He really didn't expect the team to win 13 consecutive victories.

But Jeff Van Gundy has completely got rid of his status as a follower, sitting on the stage with a confident smile on his face, showing a famous handsome demeanor.

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

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

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

The reporter of the New York Times was also a little excited. In recent years, only the Rockets have won consecutive victories. In the 93-94 season, the opponent won the championship.

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

Jeff Van Gundy directly came to a tactical retreat, and replied confidently:
"Of course, we have 4 days of rest, the team is in good shape, and we will end the game in November with a complete victory!"

A lot of media in the audience applauded and cheered, and the bald young marshal was no longer guilty, and was very proud of himself:
"What is the best coach in the league!"

In the bustling metropolis of New York, there has always been no 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, the major paper media not only helped the Knicks loan the championship, but also put the titles of "No. 11 point guard" and "No. [-] center" on Li You and Ewing.

If it weren't for Alan Houston's mediocre performance, the "No. [-] shooting guard" would have changed hands!
Pat Riley was also picked up at this time, and various articles ridiculed the champion coach in a strange way:
"Nobody can leave New York and be successful!"

"Pat Riley has been completely surpassed by Jeff Van Gundy since leaving the holy land of basketball!"

The regular season has just started, and the fans and media in New York have entered into a state of crazy self-indulgence.
After a few days of rest, the Knicks did not disappoint the fans. On the 28th, they beat the Pistons in an away game, bringing the winning streak to 14 games!
Back-to-back returns to Madison Square Garden on the 29th, tickets are in short supply.

Fans in New York wanted to come to the scene to witness the Knicks tie the regular season opening winning streak.

The Suns don't want to be the background board, but the veteran Kevin Johnson has also suffered injuries recently. Although Kidd supported the team, the game that night was stretched again.
At the end of the halftime game, the score was fixed at 27:55, and the fans at the scene began to celebrate the victory in advance!

The Gorilla didn't feel good in these two games. According to the previous rotation, it was time to come off the field in the second half of the third quarter, but Ewing insisted on playing for a while in order to find his own form.

As a result, in the first round after the timeout, Charlie Ward, who had just come off the bench, broke through and sent an alley-oop to Big Brother.

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

"Oh!!"

All the fans in the audience exclaimed. When Jeff Van Gundy saw Ewing clutching his right wrist in pain, his head buzzed:
"Shet! How could this happen!"
