Chapter 56: 【Fight the Bulls】

　　On the 30th, the Knicks defeated Orlando Magic coached by coach Chuck Daly 104-97.
　　Ewing played 38 minutes, scored 38 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, the data brush flew.
　　 After "Big Shark" O'Neal left the Lakers, the Magic's inside line could only be supported by "Cobra" Horace Grant, from the league's strongest to a short board. Ewing ruled the penalty area and cut into the basket several times after screening. He grabbed 7 offensive rebounds and made 8 of 9 free throws.
　　On January 2, the Knicks beat the Nets 107 to 102 away.
　　Ewing scored another double-double, 21 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.
　　 Even if Van Horn was absent, the Nets lineup was not a vegetarian. It wasn't until the last two sides scored the victory and defeat. Ward took the ball and took a key three-pointer.
　　 Back-to-back Knicks battle the Magic at home and win easily.
　　On January 5, the Knicks lost to the Wizards at home, losing the fifth game of the season.
　　 The Knicks rookie's performance is very unstable, Jackson was completely exploded. Zhu Wan Howard, one of the future rocket "Xuan Ming two old" is now at its peak, comprehensive offensive technology, diverse scoring methods, can play small forward, Jackson is not an opponent.
　　Ewing also failed to suppress Chris Webber, the two data burst, the healthy Weber strength is not inferior to Garnett, Duncan.
The biggest factor for the Wizards to win was the outside line. Point guard Rod Strickland blasted Charlie Ward and scored 21 points and 11 assists.
　　 All of Strickland's stats have reached their career peak this season, averaging 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.7 steals. Absolute star data may well become the king of assists this season.
　　Yang Rui was very impressed by this person. He is a rare person with outstanding strength and a splendid style, but he has not been selected as an All-Star in his life. He is also the godfather of the future Cavaliers star Kerry Owen.
　　 In his heyday, Strickland was the best point guard in the league and the most troublesome troublemaker. He drove drunk in Washington, beat his teammates, lacked training in Portland for no reason, despised his coach, lingered in nightclubs in Minnesota, and escaped.
　　 In short, character is too bad to become a superstar is also difficult, unless there is the strength to dominate the alliance, or gimmicks. Strickland is not yet strong enough.
　　 At the press conference, Van Gundy said he did not worry about the Knicks losing streak. On January 7, Larry Johnson announced his comeback, the Knicks greatly increased in strength.
　　Stephen Jackson is back to the edge, Mickey Moore is even worse, he is no longer on the 12-man roster. He is the worst performer among Yang Rui's newcomers and will not have the opportunity to prove himself this season.
　　The Knicks defeated the Nets 99 to 88 at home. Johnson returned to the normal state and scored only 8 points. The five of the team scored in double figures, all of which were average.
　　New York media commented that this was the Knicks warming up for the Bulls. On January 9th, the two Eastern Conference powerhouses are going to match up, the focus of the live broadcast in the United States.
　　Many people regard the two teams as hot opponents in the playoffs. Jordan often has a wonderful performance at Madison Square Garden. This is a big point.
　　 Training in the morning, Yang Rui and Fan Gandi sat on the sidelines and chatted.
　　 He thought for a while and smiled: "Jeff, when you inspire morale today, can you say a little bit that the Bulls are nothing? We are now the No. 1 in the league and should not be placed in the challenger position."
　　 "Isn't this a light enemy?" Van Gundy hummed.
　　 "Tell them that the Bulls are vulnerable, do you think anyone believes? Because they will not underestimate the enemy, so they should be decompressed, too much pressure will affect the player's mentality and affect the play." Yang Rui whispered.
　　Fan Gandi didn't talk, and was a little unhappy.
　　Why does this kid like to stab at everything, doesn't Riley encourage morale?
　　 Riley's brain has not always been normal. When this cargo brought the Lakers, in the 1989 three-round sweep to the finals, he engaged in devil training during the one-shot offseason. As a result, he hurt the Magician and Scott, and was finally swept by the Pistons in the finals.
　　Van Gandi is under the mentorship of Riley. It is a test for the star and the training intensity is not low. The stars under Riley and Van Gundy have premature aging, which should be related to the training of the devil.
　　 The only counter-example is "Skyhook" Jabal, who also played under Riley, but stood for many years without falling, until he was 42 years old and could not retire. After all, Jabal is an apprentice of Bruce Lee, maybe there is a bodyguard of mysterious power from the east...
　　Fan Gandi didn't want to listen to Yang Rui at all, and said coldly: "How can I inspire morale better than you, this little thing doesn't need you to teach me."
　　 "It's just a suggestion, whatever you want." Yang Rui vomited in his heart: If you don't get rid of the dead brain, you won't become a famous man.
　　 Yang Rui does have no experience, but he dares to try and innovate more than Van Gundy. He has his own style. Van Gundy is only continuing the old path of his predecessors.
　　 If the Knicks got the best record and awarded the best coach to Van Gundy who did not seek meritorious service, but seek the unprecedented, it is really too watery.
　　 Thibodeau and Sharman were accustomed to listening to the two people chatting. In the coaching staff, they actually discussed the tactics of the two people. They just voted for the "station" and the proposal was hardly adopted.
　　 If Van Gundy made the final decision, Yang Rui wouldn’t be damned if he didn’t lift the bar~EbookFREE.me~ Compared with the Bulls, the Knicks Yang Rui and Van Gundy had only differences in pediatrics. Coach Phil Jackson and manager Jerry Klaus have long been at odds with each other, and the relationship between the management staff is so poor that it is really strange.
　　 "Zen Master" Jackson has an agent, and in order to run against him in the summer, Claus made it clear that he would not use a coach with an agent in the future. Finally, because Jordan was forced to renew Jackson, he also said that even if 82 wins next season, Jackson will have to leave.
　　 Even more troublesome is Pippen. Before that, there were rumors that the Bulls wanted to use Pippen to change the Nets' leader Keith Van Horn; there were also reports that Pippen once scolded Jerry Claus on the plane.
　　 It can be said that Jordan won the title in 1998 and was deserved to be put on the altar. This year's Bulls' starting lineup is much older than the Spurs' so-called "old arms and old legs" in 2007, and the bench has little energy. They have a good professional attitude and maintain a good state without major ups and downs.
　　Yang Rui has watched the 98 Finals. Sometimes I think that these guys are so old, they don’t run fast, they don’t have much energy, they have positions on both sides, and there are very few quick offensive and defensive transitions. How can they get to the end?
　　 This season, the questions that have troubled him for many years will find the answer.
　　 Jordan is not a god, he is just a person.
　　 The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach, which is an inevitable physical law. In particular, Yang Rui has met the Wizards of Jordan. He has not entered the playoffs twice. He firmly believes that his set will work.
　　 The more painful thing is that Van Gundy still regards the slow-moving things of the bull and the jazz as truth.
　　PS
　　 The previous chapter mentioned that Pippen was on the rocket. It was a clerical error and has been revised. Let me explain it here.
　　 For recommendation, for collection, thank you for your support!
