The Knicks returned home and beat the Kings 122 to 91.

The king's defense is very bad, and the only star who can get it is Mitch Richmond, who is powerless to fight.

Ewing only played 27 minutes, 9 of 13 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, 21 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

On the 18th, the Knicks challenged the Rockets away and won 103 to 95, winning 10 consecutive victories.

Ewing made 6 of 12 shots, scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Starks and Houston showed off and settled the Rockets without Pippen and Barkley.

The media exclaimed that Ewing has become better at passing the ball, and fans also feel that Ewing has become a supporting center like Divac.

Thomas Bentley was very curious. As soon as Yang Rui returned to New York, he asked: "Do you have any superpowers? People who are not good at passing the ball have become able to pass the ball. Can you really enlighten them?"

Yang Rui threw the backpack into the bedroom, took the cup handed over by Thomas, took two sips, and said with a smile, "It's not about getting enlightened, but about benefiting the system."

"The tactical system is so useful?" Thomas always felt that the basketball coach was not very effective, and winning mainly depended on the players.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "Ewing's focus on the court is different. He used to think about how to score, so naturally he didn't pay so much attention to his teammates' running positions. Now he mainly pulls out to support, and only considers attacking when he is out of position. It's normal to have more assists. Now, Ewing's ball possession rate is much higher than last season, and he touches the ball almost every possession."

"I don't understand, but it seems very powerful." Thomas is just a fake fan.

Generally speaking, the higher the ball possession rate, the lower the true shooting percentage. Those with high values ​​in both items are superstars. And some of the players with extremely high share and low hit rate are the legendary fake giants.

Usage rate describes the percentage of a player's possession of the team's possession on the field. If the team's offense is absolutely completely evenly distributed, and 5 players take turns attacking, then each player's usage rate of the ball is 20%. Ewing's 32.1% is currently second only to Jordan's 32.8% this season.

True shooting percentage is a modified field goal percentage in which more weight is given to three-pointers and free throws made. This is another parameter used to represent the percentage of balls scored.

Ewing entered the paint less often, averaged only 5.3 free throws per game, did not shoot three-pointers, and his true shooting percentage was outside the top 10 in the league.

Fans don't pay much attention to these statistics. They only know that the Knicks are winning and Ewing has the best statistics. Ewing's popularity soared, driving the Knicks to create more economic value.

There is no winning bonus in the agreement signed by Yang Rui. He doesn't force it. The management is very kind and gave him what he wants most, which is fame.

When the old version of James Dolan's radio station reported the victory of the game, it never forgot to mention Yang Rui and gave him a lot of credit.

When the media from all over the world reported the game, they also used to say how bad the Knicks' offense was last season and compare it with this season. After Van Gundy read the news, his forehead became brighter.

He is not afraid of losing his coaching position, and has signed a long-term contract with the Knicks in the summer. He just envied that Yang Rui's journey as a coach went so smoothly, much smoother than when he first debuted. What's more terrible is that the way he led the team last season seems to have become a negative teaching material.

Comparing people to people makes people mad.

In China, Yang Rui is also frequently mentioned by the media.

In the Saudi Asian Championships, even though Wang Zhizhi, Li Xiaoyong, and Liu Yudong were injured and absent, the Chinese men's basketball team still defeated the South Korean team by 4 points in the semifinals.

In the final, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Japan by another 11 points and won the championship.

After the game, the reporter interviewed the head coach Zhang Bin and asked him how to lead the team out of the predicament. Zhang Bin accidentally mentioned Yang Rui.

"In the summer, we went to the United States to train and played a game against the Knicks Summer League team. We lost very badly. At that time, I asked Yang Rui what suggestions he had for the men's basketball team.

He made two key points. "

The reporter asked: "Which two points?"

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "He said that the men's basketball team's defense is too poor. It is very important to prevent outside shots. The center cannot just stand under the basket. Against teams that mainly attack the outside line, they can play small ball tactics. The inside line moves fast... …And practice more to break the frontcourt press. This time the Asian Championships were all right, South Korea and Japan are mainly attacking from the outside.”

After Wang Zhizhi was injured, the men's basketball team played a small ball tactic, allowing Gong Xiaobin to play the center forward, instead of reusing the slow Ji Minshang, and strengthening the perimeter defense.

In addition, the men's basketball summer league lost 52 points and was beaten by a group of unknown players. This group of CBA big names who had no one in sight saw the reality clearly and put away their pride.

Yang Rui felt a sense of accomplishment after watching the news and discovering that history had been changed unintentionally.

Brother is not in the Jianghu, but the legend of Brother is circulating in the Jianghu, this feeling is so wonderful.

After playing the Rockets, the Knicks ushered in a wave of easy schedule. The Wizards, Grizzlies and other teams are easy to deal with, but the Pistons and Suns are more difficult to play, and they are also restrained by the Knicks.

The Knicks started the game with 15 consecutive victories, ranking first in the league.

Previously, the NBA's opening winning streak record was created by the Houston Rockets in the 1993-1994 season. At that time, as the defending champion Rockets, the 15-game winning streak was unstoppable at the beginning of the season. playoffs.

However, in the playoffs, the Rockets showed the aura of the king, and finally successfully defended the title, becoming the championship with the worst record in the regular season in NBA history, and Tang Shuai's phrase "never underestimate the heart of a championship" also made future generations remember.

Now, this incredible record is tied by the Knicks.

Because the Knicks are too strong, there are several players who "leave work" early. Many fans believe that the Knicks will kill the Bulls this season to advance to the finals and win the championship.

The Knicks have stars, three-pointers, low-post offense, and fierce defense. They also have something that the Rockets lacked back then-lineup depth.

The Knicks' rotation lineup is outstanding, and the scoring is stable off the bench. Moore and Jackson haven't played yet, even if they are not redundant. The fringe players Bart Williams and Atkins can both score in garbage time. One has rich experience and the other has distinctive characteristics.

On December 2, the Knicks challenged the Spurs in an away game. The Spurs had just selected the No. 1 pick in the summer, Duncan, and formed the inside twin towers. The team's lineup is running in, and the record is only 9 wins and 7 losses, which is significantly different from the Knicks.

Before the start of the game, the media agreed that a new start winning streak was about to be born.

"Who can stop the Knicks winning streak?"

"Can Ewing win the first MVP of his career at the age of 35?"

"The Knicks have the potential to break the Bulls' 72-10 regular-season record."

Ewing successfully won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month. Before that, he won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week twice. He averaged 34.2 minutes per game, scored 19.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.2 blocks. The number of assists hit a career high and is still on the rise. He shot 54.2 percent from the field, also the highest in eight years.

Looking at the data, Ewing is still not as good as Michael Jordan and Karl Malone, but in the MVP rankings, he surpassed them and ranked first.

Ewing would wake up with a smile in his dreams now, he knew that he was very close to his first dream.
