The Knicks' 23-game winning streak has created the second-longest winning streak in league history, second only to the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

78 high speed update

The enthusiastic Knicks fans have already beaten the Knicks' official website. After surpassing the Rockets' winning streak, the fans are thinking of surpassing the Lakers' winning streak and creating a new first winning streak.

But this is not easy. In fact, it is hard to imagine that the Knicks can achieve their current winning streak. The opponents ahead are all strong opponents with public losses. In the next game, there are old Western Conference teams such as the Spurs and Mavericks. If the Knicks want to rewrite the Lakers' winning streak record, they still need to ask them.

After playing against the Pacers, the Knicks players did not have time to rest and challenge the Orlando Magic back-to-back

The Magic's lineup this season is not without strengthening, but also a tendency to become weaker. This is mainly reflected in the inside players. In addition to Howard, the Magic's inside player, still rely on the shooter Ryan Anderson. If Howard and Anderson are super powerful, the Magic's inside player will only be the big baby Davis.

Outside magic still likes the hot-headed Nelson, the no longer magical Tkoglu and Jason Richardson, who transforms into a shooter

When Magic players came to New York, they were in a tense mood

Before the game started, the Magic players could already feel the strong murderous aura of home fans in the locker room

This is not playing basketball, but to win the game, the best way is to ask Ben Gordon's "brother" Laden and blow up Madison

The players of both sides are very different. Comparing the starting points of the last game, Nelson has good data, averaging 14 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal

Ross' score dropped a lot, but assists were double-digit, and the difference between the two was also considered to be

Scoring guard Richardson vs Smith

Richardson is very skilled, Smith is very similar to him, but the dunk king is not as good as he was back then. Smith is younger. Overall, Richardson has little advantage.

Small forward Tkogru's data declined this season, with 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and his shooting percentage dropped from 45 last season to

James Harden is already a brilliant star in the league. Some experts say that if it weren't for too many excellent players from the Knicks, Harden could have completely cut the same data as Pierce, who led the Celtics alone.

Power forward Li Feng, Magic is the shooter Anderson, Magic is incomparable

The only advantage of the Magic is center. Although Howard is still in the trading soap opera, he is in a good state and has made a lot of moves, accounting for more than half of the team.

Whether it is Howard himself or the Magic, the interests of this point are consistent. Howard's good data to brush can attract more interest in the team, and will also bring more trading chips to the Magic.

Compared to Howard, Monroe's body is relatively weaker and the tonnage is a bit loss. This is a test in this game.

Excluding the main lineup, the Magic is too bad

The players are obviously unable to get excited, and coach Jacques Vaughan still needs to motivate the players

"Although they have won 23 consecutive victories, they may not win steadily. As long as everyone plays at the best, we can still beat the Knicks this season."

Then Jacques Vaughn arranged the tactics

"The defensive formation is 122 joint defense. If Monroe pulls to the high position, don't worry about him. Double-team Li Feng in the interior. If Li Feng pulls to the high position to get the ball, Xidu must follow him closely. Don't let him take the outside line easily, so we won't double-team Li Feng, which is prone to an open offensive aspect..."

Vaughn paused and asked:

"Dwight, do you have the confidence to play Li Feng alone? I think they will let Li Feng guard you"

"Can"

Although Howard likes to score with the only face that does not blow his shoulders, he has now practiced his skills and is more confident in his small hook. He is now confident that he can score the ball and maintain a high shooting percentage against Li Feng.

Although he can also make a shot in the mid-range shot, his shooting percentage cannot be guaranteed and will not work if it fails.

"Okay, then the offense focuses on Dwight. If they use Monroe to defend, I believe you can also find a way based on your own speed advantage. Outside players pay attention to running. If Dwight does not have a good opportunity, the outside players will have to open fire. Ryan will pull to the high position to cover the outside players and cover the breakthrough. If there is a chance, try to make Li Feng foul. If we can continue, we will be much easier to play."

After Jacques Vaughan talked about the tactics, he felt that the Magic could still fight with the Knicks, but he was afraid that the Knicks would have a strange move in the lineup.

In the last game, many people thought that the Knicks would let Ibaka go to the power forward position, or Kirilenko, who knew that Li Feng went to the top, Smith entered the starter, Jacques Vaughan guessed correctly, the Knicks really wanted to make a surprise move, and Taberdog changed the lineup again

Taberdeau said:

"Howard is the core of the Magic. In this game, we change the formation, run and bomb tactics. When defending, Li Feng is the main defense of Howard. After grabbing the rebound, he launches a fast attack. If he cannot make a fast attack, he will land in the position. Li Feng attacks at a low post. Others are ready to receive the ball and shoot three-pointers. When the Magic uses cover to break through at a high position, Andre will go out with the defense."

The Knicks have a record leading the league, and their opponents have Howard's magic, so this game is also live broadcast across the United States, Barkley Kenny Smith makes an explanation

Barkley was generous before the game

"The suspense of this game is not who can win, but how many points the Knicks can win. I believe Li Feng is ready."

Players from both sides stood on the court Kenny Smith said

"The Knicks lineup made relatively large adjustments in point guard Ross, shooting guard L

Smith, the small forward is Dorell Wright, the power forward is Kirirenko, and Li Feng came to the center position today, hahaha.”

After reading the list, Barkley and Smith both laughed

This lineup is so surprising. Monroe and Harden are sitting on the bench, and Dorrell Wright actually gets a start. It seems that the Knicks will use speed and outside to kill the magic

The match between the two sides is about to begin

Barkley smiled:

"The Magic are about to become the New York Knicks in the new era. Dwight Howard is Patrick Ewing. The Knicks collapsed in the post-Ewing era, and the Magic are soon." Howard jumped the ball and beat Kirilenko, and the Magic attacked first

Li Feng faced Howard in the inside and his defense was still the same, and he tried his best to push Howard outside the three-second zone.

Li Feng knew that Howard had already practiced a good hook-up. He was not tall enough and it was difficult to defend. However, he did not suggest that Kirilianko would make up for defense, so it would be difficult to control the rebounds. It would be okay to get Howard more points. The important thing is to protect the backcourt rebounds in the inside.

Magic lifted the ball from the left to Howard. The two of them played for the first time on the court

Howard dribbled with a step to turn around, and Li Feng immediately reached out to steal the ball.

Howard jumped and he couldn't cover it, but Howard protected the basketball well, jumped high and hooked the ball, and the ball was pushed twice on the basket, and scored 0-2

Although he scored the first goal, Jacques Vaughan was not excited. The Knicks sent such a lineup. The intention was already very obvious. If the Magic double-teamed Li Feng, it would be easy to be shot to death by the Knicks outside players.

Sure enough, when the Magic half-super players were all pulled away, Ross hanged the ball high to Li Feng and played singles at the low post on the right. The person who defended Li Feng in the interior was Howard

Let Howard fight against Li Feng, this is the only choice for magic. Most of the others are not strong enough, and the speed of the strength is too slow.

Li Feng took the ball back, with the ball frame, and played Howard dribble under the crotch. The ball was crossed with his left hand and brought it into the three-second zone. Howard was close to Li Feng, Li Feng's left foot as the axis, and suddenly turned back with the ball, and the ball crossed with his right hand to break through the bottom line. Howard immediately retreated and blocked Li Feng's shooting angle at the basket

Howard's defensive ability is truly comparable to fame as he gets older. He has not lost his center of gravity. He raised his hands high. Whether Li Feng shoots head-on or layup backwards, he has the confidence to cover it.

Li Feng took the ball with one hand and rushed to lift it up with one hand

Howard thought it was a fake move and did not take off. He judged it right again, but what happened next was beyond his expectations. Smith used Kirilenko's unball cover to throw away Tkoglu and cut in from the middle. Li Feng gently sent the ball out with one hand.

Smith received the ball in the middle, and took a step away from Anderson, who was resting defense, and jumped high towards Howard.

Howard's attention was on Li Feng. He just turned his head and could only jump subconsciously...

Howard jumped late and faced a spring man like Smith. The end of the jump was that the opponent was deducted by the referee's whistle.

Howard fouls

"Beautiful continues to fight like this"

Smith and Li Feng patted their hands heavily

After the extra free throw, Smith played Howard with a 2 plus 1 score at the beginning.

Magic passed to Howard again

Li Feng still chose to defend the front, and it would not work to use the front-circling defense against Howard. Fitting the face frame is his favorite offensive method. Going around will make Howard's air relay like a bag to take a pupil.

Howard received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left, and dribbled the ball with his back and turned to the middle and hit it with a hooked hand

Howard did work hard on offense. Although the methods are still single, the shooting rate has been improved.

Li Feng cannot completely limit Howard one-on-one, but the Knicks do not intend to switch defenses because their tactics are clear. The offense makes Howard foul and defeats him.

This time, Li Feng pulled the ball outside the three-point line and Kirilianko pulled it to the high position. This change was enough to make the Magic's headache the whole game.

Howard and Anderson could only defend themselves, and the Magic's inside line was completely removed.

Li Feng passes the ball to Wright

Wright flicked on the outside,

Moving away from Richardson's defense, pass the ball into the inside Smith's singles at 45 degrees on the right side

Li Feng and Kirirenko attracted Howard at the high position, creating a wide one-on-one low singles opportunity for Smith

Smith's physique hit Tkoglu's back and couldn't squeeze in, but he didn't need to squeeze in. He took two steps on his back and turned around and jumped into Tkogluge's ball.

The Magic still handed the ball to Howard, and the Knicks players continued to let Li Feng defend one-on-one

This time Howard's shoulder swayed to the left, then turned to the right to prepare to break through the bottom line. Li Feng blocked the breakthrough route. Howard's half-hook shot from the bottom line, and the ball went out.

Kirilenko grabs the backcourt rebound

"Swap defense, Xidu defends Li Feng from the outside"

Jacques Vaughan called out to the field

Ross dribbled the ball to the front super League Li Feng to receive the ball at the top of the arc. Tkoglu and Li Feng kept a step away, and Howard returned to the inside line and followed the defense of Kirilianko

Li Feng dribbled the ball in front. At this time, Smith threw Richardson away from the right and ran towards Li Feng in the middle. It seemed that he wanted to cover Li Feng.

Li Feng did not wait for Smith to cover and took two steps to the right. At this time, Tkoglu and Richardson's ideas were not consistent.

Tkoglu bypassed Smith to continue defending Li Feng, and Richardson also focused on the ball-holding striker, unconsciously stretched out his hand to prepare for stealing

Richardson wanted to switch defense with Tkoglu at this time, but Tkoglu didn't understand Richardson's intentions, so the two of them emptied Smith from the outside.

Li Feng seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Smith and Smith took the ball from the outside and took action. Richardson followed and blocked it was too late to hit a three-pointer
