On the 10th, the Knicks defeated the Magic and the Hornets back to back, stabilizing the situation.

Starks was slapped in the face and he didn't play. Atkins, Jackson, and Mills had more shots, and they cooperated with the inside players to cover and run tactics, ensuring the firepower of the substitute attack.

The bottom corner stands alone to attract the defense, two people run to catch the ball and shoot, Oakley pulls out to support the mid-range shot, and Ben Wallace is responsible for the air cut, rushing to grab the offensive rebound. Without Starks, the Knicks have regained a sense of hierarchy in their tactics, step by step, without passion, but not chaotic.

Players boldly move the ball, and the effect is better than relying on personal ability to solve problems. Starks' increase in shots is actually out of selfishness. He is jealous that Houston has become the core of the outside line and wants to compete for the best sixth man to prove that he is still a star.

Starks and his biggest competitor, Danny Manning, have similar data, averaging 13.8 points and 2.7 assists per game, but the Suns' backup power forward Manning has a much higher shooting rate, scoring 13.5 points and 5.6 points with a 52.1% shooting rate. Rebounds and 2 assists.

Starks, coaxed by Bull B, suddenly became honest. The situation was not good for him. As soon as the news came out, many fans felt that he was the cancer of the team and the culprit for the Knicks' inability to hit the Bulls' record.

The Knicks aim to win the championship. If anyone dares to make trouble at this time, there is absolutely only one end, that is, get out of New York after the season is over.

Afterwards, the Knicks lost to the Pacers, Spurs, and SuperSonics, and Houston also had a three-point buzzer to kill the Eagles.

Houston has become the player who made the most three-pointers in the league this season, averaging 2.5 shots per game and shooting 42.6% from the field.

The Knicks lost six games in March and still led the league with a record of 61 wins and 12 losses. The Bulls ranked second in the East with 56 wins and 18 losses.

The record of the Western Conference teams has also dropped. The Lakers have lost 20 games, the Sonics and the Jazz both have 19 games, and they cannot compete with the Knicks.

There are still 9 games left in the regular season. Unless there is a miracle or match-fixing, the Knicks will never lose six games. It can be said that they have secured the league's top spot.

After running-in, the Knicks players have adapted to the offensive tactics, and Yang Rui's work has become easier. The main job of the other two assistant coaches is to lead the players to train. He usually chats with Van Gundy on the sidelines. Whenever he is away from home, he will taste food from various places and take a tour.

Yang Rui had the opportunity to learn about the food culture of various countries. Exquisite and delicious pasta, cheese, ham; Spanish special fried squid, paella; Russian meatloaf; German sausage... He has money to taste everything he has never tried in his previous life. The away subsidy is definitely enough.

Usually he doesn’t spend much money. Thomas Bentley helped Yang Rui manage his finances and bought Cisco stocks one after another. The price rose from $4 a share to more than $9, nearly doubling his assets.

It is still far away from becoming a rich man, but they are living a leisurely life now, and they are definitely not poor.

In the game in April, the goal of the Knicks team became to help Ewing's statistics, to let his statistics end the regular season beautifully, and to increase the chips for winning the MVP.

Facts have proved that when the entire team wants to do something for a person from top to bottom, from shareholders to players, he has no difficulty at all in getting good data.

Against the Clippers, Nets, and Celtics, Ewing all had triple-doubles.

The center has three triple-doubles in a row, and Chamberlain was the last one to achieve it. This is big news. Ewing has once again become the darling of the media and made the headlines of major media.

For this, Ewing is very grateful to Yang Rui, who proposed the tactics.

As long as Ewing is on the court, the ball passes through his hands every round; as long as he receives a pass from Ewing and can avoid the block, most of his teammates choose jump shots to give him assists; The task of rebounding every game is given to Ewing, and the forward will also help him block people.

The disadvantage of this style of play is that the player's shot selection is not very good, the ball is too concentrated and there is no change.

The Knicks can win the underdogs, but it will be difficult to play against the strong teams.

In April, the Knicks lost to the Hawks and Heat, and closed with a 115-111 victory over the Bulls.

Although it won't affect the final ranking, for the playoffs training, the two sides still sent all the main players to play this game seriously.

At home, Jordan scored 44 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and scored a large number of free throws. He made 22 of 24 free throws. Even so, the Bulls failed to withstand the Knicks' 6 players who scored in double figures.

Ewing broke out and scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists. Houston and Mills scored 22 points and 21 points respectively.

The Knicks won the regular season championship with a record of 68 wins and 14 losses. The Bulls ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 61 wins and 21 losses.

The core statistics of the two sides compete, Ewing has 20.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.3 blocks, shooting 50.7% from the field and 75.1% from the free throw line.

Jordan had 28.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks, shooting 46.5% from the field, 23.8% from the three-point range, and 78.4% from the free throw line.

Although the score is less, Ewing has more assists than Jordan. With this gimmick and the best record, the regular season MVP is almost in Ewing's pocket.

Bulls fans were very disappointed. Even if Pippen came back, the Bulls failed to catch up with the Knicks in the second half.

The media have speculated that Jordan will retire after this season. Most people hope that he can leave with the MVP and the championship and create a perfect NBA legend. The Knicks ruined it all as a villain.

Many people blame Pippen for the unsatisfactory situation. If this guy had undergone surgery last summer, he would never have reached this point. Now even if Pippen wants to stay in the Bulls, not many people support him.

The 3-8 places in the East are the Heat, Pacers, Hornets, Eagles, Cavaliers, and Nets.

The Heat's record is not as good as that of the Pacers, but they are the first in the Southeast region. According to the rules, they are lucky to be ranked third, while the Pacers are ranked fourth, and they will face the Knicks in the second round.

The Wizards were even more unlucky. In the end, they had the same record as the Nets. According to the rules, looking at the records of the two sides' matches, they had the same record of 2 wins and 2 losses. Finally, looking at the divisional record, the Nets beat the Wizards by one game, making them the last team in the playoffs.

Being out in this way, the psychological shadow area of ​​the Wizards players has exploded.

The Raptors are at the bottom of the East again, with a record of 15 wins and 67 losses. The 76ers, who are second to last in the East, have 30 wins, twice as many as them. At this time, the competition in the East is obviously more intense.

The top Jazz in the West with 61 wins is the same as the Bulls, and the 2-8 are the Supersonics, Lakers, Suns, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, and Rockets.

There is no suspense in the top 8 in the Western Conference. The records of the teams behind are very bad. The Kings ranked 9th with 26 wins. After that, none of the five teams won 20 wins.

The Nuggets are struggling to catch up after the mid-term trade, otherwise they will definitely break the 76ers' worst record of 9 wins in a single season.

The Knicks have all the home-court advantage in the playoffs and are the No. 1 seed. All teams have three days off and the playoffs are about to start.
