"The ball went in! Maybe Alan Houston needs to change his defense."

The commentator, Marv Albert, was in a bad mood and fell asleep during the game.

At 13:12, with 6 minutes and 38 seconds left in the first quarter, the Suns took the lead for the first time.

Entering the official timeout, Madison Square Garden booed again.

There is also an advantage to Ewing being the core. In individual rounds, Li You can easily get assists.

"Very good! Stick to our defensive strategy. The opponent is not good at three-pointers. We just need to protect the backcourt rebounds."

The fans thought the game was not good to watch. Jeff Van Gundy enjoyed a sense of accomplishment for a long time. Tonight's game was all under his control!

Ewing also felt that the rhythm of the game was very good and he was very physically fit. It was only a matter of time before he defeated the Suns' inside line.

The gorilla had a comfortable expression on his face, this was the Knicks he was familiar with.

There is certainly no problem with the game plan formulated by Jeff Van Gundy. The Suns will make mistakes themselves, and Jason Kidd's penetrating passing will naturally be accompanied by high turnovers.

This time, "Auntie" stole Cedric who was cutting to the basket. After completing the steal, he immediately threw the ball to Li You on the left wing.

After receiving the ball, Li You accelerated along the left sideline with all his strength.

It was rare to see such a transitional attack in an ordinary game. The New York fans cheered loudly after they passed halftime!

Jason Kidd has retreated to the three-point line, trying to block Li You's breakthrough route.

Noticing that the opponent wanted to move to defend, Li You, who quickly cut in from the flank, did not slow down. He changed direction slightly while holding the ball in his right hand. The moment he switched to his left hand, his body slid to the left, and then suddenly took a long stride.

He circled the ball behind his back, quickly changed hands, and Li You twisted for a layup. Jason Kidd could only follow and jump to block the shot!

After jumping up, Jason Kidd could only watch Li You glide to the lower right side of the basket. With a twist of his right wrist, he easily reversed and picked up the basket!

"oh!!"

A beautiful counterattack layup, and the scene erupted with the biggest cheers since the start of the game.

After being shown off, Jason Kidd didn't expect that Li You could still do tricks during a counterattack layup.

Li You quickly returned to defense and high-fived Spike Lee who was cheering on the sidelines.

Today’s installation of X has been completed!

Ewing, who is full of energy, is very efficient. Most importantly, as the core of tactics, he usually gets passed every time he attacks.

He has a strong presence on both offense and defense. In comparison, Alan Houston, who played well in the first two games, is a bit invisible.

Except for two mediocre catch-and-shoot jump shots after screens, there wasn't much action.

When Ewing received the ball in the left block, Larry Johnson made more cuts without the ball, but his finishing efficiency at the basket was not high and he missed several opportunities.

The Suns also wanted to counterattack, but Jason Kidd couldn't find his teammates. The two big men usually stayed behind, and Cedric and Kevin Johnson were tightly guarded.

The Suns made rotations in advance, but on the Knicks' side, Jeff Van Gundy did not make any substitutions. It was not until 20 seconds left in the first quarter that Ewing came off the court to rest.

Li You played the entire first quarter of the game. Taking advantage of the break, Jeff Van Gundy quickly reminded loudly:

"If we continue to defend like this, the opponent will make mistakes first, and we must seize the opportunity."

"."

24:26, the first quarter of the game was very anxious, and the coaching staff did not expect that the rookie Suns team could survive for so long.

The lineup was rotated in the second quarter, and Li You changed into training clothes and sat safely on the bench.

Next to him, Alan Houston was a little unhappy. He was so efficient in the last game, but he was back to his original form tonight:

"The pace of the game is too slow, and the opponent's defensive discipline is not very good. We can definitely play faster."

Covering his mouth with a towel, Alan Houston communicated with Li You in a low voice.

"We will win, control our mistakes and wait for our opponents to make mistakes. This game strategy is no problem."

Li You accepted the reality. Of course he would not run around with a big center. Veteran Buck Williams is a short inside man, and Ewing is a big man.

Alan Houston made 2 of 4 in the first quarter and scored 4 points, while Li You made 2 of 3 with 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

Ewing was particularly efficient. He made 3 of 4 free throws and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. All five Knicks starting players scored.

Charles Oakley doesn't care about the statistics. The old guy is just a little dissatisfied with not widening the point difference. There is a big difference in the records between the two sides. The game should end as soon as possible.

On the bench, only Ewing was in the best mood. Gorilla found that being injured was not a bad thing. At least after a short period of rest, his physical fitness had returned to its best condition.

In the first half of the game, the angry Kidd didn't take too many shots. As a point guard, he still instinctively assisted his teammates and tried to drive the rhythm of the game.

This resulted in the game becoming more and more ugly, with the stars not scoring, and tonight’s tickets being lost!

After the official timeout of the game in the second quarter, the Knicks' main lineup returned. Ewing completely exploded at this time, constantly rushing into the paint area and completing throws right in front of the basket.

He caught the ball, jumped inside, pushed away the defense, and completed the goal. Ewing played efficiently, and Li You's assists increased again.

At the end of the half, at 49:52, the Knicks had a 3-point lead.

"Pat is in very good condition. He made 7 of 8 in the half and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. I think he has fully recovered!"

At halftime, commentator Marv Albert looked at the technical statistics and praised Ewing's performance.

Although commentator John Andaris felt that the offense was too conservative, victory is the most important thing, and he also followed suit and praised:

"The Suns have no chance, we will end the game in the third quarter!"

Jason Kidd, who was in a bad mood, shot 4 of 6 in the half and 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He felt good, but he still chose to pass the ball most of the time.

In the third quarter of the game, just as Jeff Van Gundy expected, Kidd began to play hard, and then his offensive role became less and less.

But in Li You's view, the bald Kidd was just acting as a teammate. Cedric obviously had a strong hand, and he kept passing the ball.

Even "Auntie" could tell that Cedric, who was facing him, was no longer good, and as a result, the Suns were determined to fight against this.

Four minutes into the second half, Larry Johnson stole Cedric twice.

The Knicks attacked, Li You held the ball with his right hand and quickly dribbled across half court. Kidd took the initiative to switch defense. As a result, Charles Oakley flanked the pick-and-roll, and the man was gone.

Li You just took a step laterally, but he didn't expect that there was no defense around him. Finally, he made a sudden jump shot from the left wing outside the three-point line!

"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!

Looking at Kidd in surprise, Li You found that Kidd looked like a normal person and even raised his hand apologetically to his teammates.

In the third quarter of the game, the Suns suddenly collapsed. At 15:22 of the single quarter, the point difference suddenly widened.

Jeff Fangan began to command passionately, and he predicted the opponent's collapse!

During the break, Larry Johnson also noticed that the fans at the scene were not in high spirits and complained in a low voice:

"After the transaction, the Suns' record declined. These guys don't know how to buy football anymore!"

The opponent Cedric made 2 of 9 in a single quarter and only scored 4 points. "Auntie" was a little confused. The harder he went, the more shots he made?

Li You, who was fishing, looked at Suns head coach Danny Ainge communicating with Kidd and was immediately in awe:

"Master of Struggle!"

After three quarters, 64:74, a 10-point difference, still within the catchable range!

When Starks came off the bench tonight, his efficiency was not very high, which forced the main team to come on after the bench played three minutes.

For New York fans, if the first few games were like Dove chocolate, tonight's game will be like delicious Dove.

The offense was still smooth and there were very few mistakes, but he just couldn't beat his opponent.

Ewing still maintains efficient scoring, and Li You is very comfortable feeding the ball. All he has to do is get stuck, then catch the ball at the right position, and then put the ball under the basket.

In individual pick-and-roll rounds, Li You always stops and starts quickly, relying on Kevin Johnson to observe the defense before making offensive choices.

This is also very different from the past rapid handling of the ball, but in the fourth quarter, Li You still only made one mistake.

In this offense, Ewing was still stuck under the basket with Suns center Holt. At the top of the arc, Li You used Oakley's screen to accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Kevin Johnson did not lose his defensive position and remained close to Li You.

Li You slowly circled around the inside line and came to the right baseline position. He suddenly turned around quickly with his left foot as the axis, exploded the ball, picked up the ball with his right hand, and instantly returned to the lower right side of the basket.

Inside, Ewing and Holt were still entangled, and Li You, who got rid of the defense, easily picked the basket with his right hand!

"Great offense! Nice goal! Kevin Johnson was tricked by Lee!"

A rare and beautiful goal finally made commentator Marv Albert raise his voice.

Madison Square Garden was already silent, but Li You's goal reignited the atmosphere.

Kevin Johnson was the most depressed tonight and gave up the ball. As a result, Kidd failed in the second half. Although the pass was beautiful, Cedric felt his hips stretched and could not finish.

After watching the score difference return to 8 points, Kevin Johnson was completely discouraged. In the subsequent games, only Kidd was still trying to pass the ball.

In the end, 90:98, the Knicks successfully defeated their opponents and won 10 consecutive victories!

Ewing, who returned from injury, played 40 minutes, made 13 of 17, 5 of 7 free throws, scored 31 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 2 turnovers!

Although the New York fans at the scene were not in high spirits, they were still cheering for their 10th consecutive victory.

At the end of the game, Li You and Kidd hugged and greeted each other. They had a tacit understanding of fishing tonight.

7 of 11, 2 of 3 from beyond the arc, 16 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 turnover. Li You got 6 of his assists easily from Ewing.
