After another 3 minutes of play, the Raptors led 16-8. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info Carter and Jumeiin each had a good chance to miss a three-point shot, and Van Gundy was shocked into a cold sweat.

Boykins scored nine points before Van Gundy called a timeout, and Bowen, who didn't pull out the short man and didn't score a point, was replaced by Larry Johnson, and Ewing continued to play.

Bowen can only be a fixed-point pitcher on the offensive end, and with someone in front of him, he doesn't dare to shoot more than if there is a slight interference. Don't look at his career three-point shooting rate of 40%, in fact, he only shoots two points, and he can't participate in the long-range shooting contest of Star Weekend.

The game continued, and Boykins went to defend Spreville and was immediately hit by one, and "Mad Man" hit a three-pointer on the right side. 16 to 11.

Boykins split the ball after the block, and O'Neal Jr. also made a 45-degree turnaround jumper on the left side to score two points under the Sprewell defense. 18 to 11.

Sprewell singled again, relying on Boykins to force a turn and miss the shot, Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound to find a teammate, and O'Neal Jr. steals the hitter.

There was a dead ball, Yang Rui hurriedly adjusted, and Maddie came out to replace Boykins, and his height did not suffer.

After a few more rounds, no matter who Ewing was defending, the Raptors offense was launched from his side, testing Ewing's lateral movement and even more so his knees.

Yang Rui is never polite to his opponents, and he must seize weaknesses if he has them.

Thibodeau asked from the sidelines, "Is this an adjustment mistake for the Knicks?" The person who should be most deserved to be off the field is not Bowen, but Ewing. ”

D'Antoni nodded: "I think so, Ewing is too slow, if you play small ball tactics to speed up the tempo, Wallace's defense and rebounding are good, they may not be behind." ”

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Yes, as long as he lets Ewing fight for a longer time, we will definitely win, and I feel a little craving to eat again." ”

Both assistant coaches felt that Van Gundy was too rigid in employing people, and Van Gundy was completely unaware of it, and he was used to Ewing as the core of the interior line. From Van Gundy to the Knicks as an assistant coach, Ewing is the boss of the team, and the salary of 15 million this season as a role player is too luxurious, but even many fans can see that Ewing can't play.

Ewing averaged 32.8 minutes per game, scoring 15 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 12.5 shots, shooting 46.6% from the field, 2.3 turnovers and 3.2 fouls per game. If Ewing is in charge of this efficiency, he will have to be a substitute.

Ewing and the Knicks renewed their contracts for 4 years and 70 million, with an average salary of 17.5 million, which expires in 01. In 96, Olajuwon was 33 years old and renewed his contract with the Rockets for only 5 years and 60 million, with an average salary of 12 million.

No matter how much "Gorilla" has contributed to the team before, now he has a high salary and low ability, and his strength is declining, so he should help the young people to get on the top.

Ewing and Ben Wallace don't get along, creating an awkward situation. In Yang Rui's previous life, the Knicks ended up third in the East without Bowen and Big Ben, and now the team has a stronger lineup, but it is only sixth in the East.

There is no worst, only worse.

In the second quarter, the Knicks' offense still didn't improve. In the summer, new Knicks manager Scott Reden brought in John Wallace and Kurt Thomas.

THOMAS, WHO IS 206CM TALL AND WEIGHS 104 KILOGRAMS, IS AN EXCELLENT SUBSTITUTE WHO CAN NOT ONLY DEFEND, FIGHT FOR REBOUNDS, BUT ALSO HAVE A GOOD MID-RANGE SHOT THAT CAN BE USED TO WITHDRAW TO THE BASKET TO A GREATER EXTENT. However, he has a single offensive method and lacks the ability to attack with the ball.

After John Wallace left the Raptors, his performance in the Trail Blazers could only be said to be okay, and Raidon actually signed him back to the Knicks with an annual salary of 2 million, and he felt that he had earned it, because John was physically active. At that time, Earl Grunfield decided that this product would not work, and almost gave the Raptors for nothing.

Larry Johnson struggled to defend Maddy, playing a few minutes and three fouls at the break, Charlie Ward and Bowen had poor offensive power, and the Knicks only left John Wallace to play on the offensive end, and played iron again and again under Detreve's defense, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger.

Van Gundy's adjustment was to send Spreville and Houston early.

Carter, who scored only 6 points in the first half, broke out in the second half, and he counterattacked and singled out Houston, scoring consecutive layups, and Houston couldn't cover it alone. If it is misplaced, Ewing can only foul Carter.

The shooting doesn't feel good, and Carter has other ways to play.

In the final three minutes of the final quarter, the Raptors still led by 24 points, and the two sides switched to marginal men and went into garbage time. In the end, 119-91, the Raptors won easily.

Carter finished with 36 points, seven rebounds and three assists on 13-of-25 shooting, 0-of-3 three-pointers and 10-of-13 free throws.

All six players on the team scored in double figures, and Boykins played 23 minutes, scoring 18 points and three assists.

The Knicks scored the most points by Sprewell, who had 25 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

The league was an interesting arrangement, with both sides getting two days off to face off again on Christmas Day 25 in New York.

This is the first time the Raptors have been involved in the Christmas War, and now they are a guarantee of ratings.

In the All-Star voting that has begun, the Raptors have six contestants. Carter was far ahead in the number of votes and had already locked in the star race vote king. Kidd and Kobe, the guards who can make the starting lineup in the West, both have half the votes less than him.

Arrived in New York a day earlier, at noon on Christmas, Yang Rui and Scarlett ate hot pot together and exchanged gifts.

Scarlett gave Yang Rui a Calvinklein white shirt and instructed, "Don't wear it on the sidelines, it will get dirty if you eat." ”

The gift given by Yang Rui is very exquisite, the cat under the moon is pure gold studs, when she was in Los Angeles in the summer, Scarlett saw this pair of earrings, because the price did not buy.

This is a new model in 99, and there is an advertising slogan, staying with the cat, can make you forget the usual noise, a cup of tea, a book, a cat, a quiet afternoon, enjoy the lazy time like a cat.

Scarlett is a lazy person, and this gift is very suitable, and she is very happy.

In the Christmas game in the evening, the players played, and the home fans booed Ewing and Van Gundy, but Carter, Maddy, and Yang Rui received a lot of applause.

The Knicks have switched from an interior core to an outside duo and are still competitive, Ewing can't help much, but the contract is the highest on the team, which makes fans disgusted.

What many fans think is that if Ewing is exchanged for a star with an annual salary of 15 million, the Knicks will be a super team again and can rush to the championship. They ignored Ewing's youth and dedicated themselves to this team.

During the warm-up of the players, Thibodeau said to Yang Rui: "What I am most glad about now is that I left New York with you, the fans here are so disappointing, how embarrassing it is to boo the home team players like this on Christmas." ”

"Empathy, it's called straightforwardness, and if the Knicks can play well, they won't boo." Yang Rui smiled.

Love is deep, hate is deep.

In the future, Emory University's well-known sports market analysis agency in the United States has done a study on the fan loyalty ranking of NBA teams. The first place is the New York Knicks, and the second place is the Bulls, who have many old fans.

The core concept of the study is to revolve around brand values, expanding the number and strength of the fan base through greater recognition and loyalty.

The study began by selecting some other online rankings about the team, such as a team merchandising survey or random fan intentions.

A specific data formula was then used to study the relationship between a team's home revenue and fan purchases. Analyze the relationship between this part of the revenue and a series of factors such as the proportion of team records, player salaries, market share, court capacity, the number of all-stars in the team, etc., to estimate the quality of the team's products and potential revenue in the current season. Ultimately, this estimate is compared to the team's actual home revenue, and the team's "fan value" is obtained through a specific formula.

If it weren't for their feelings for the Knicks, these fans wouldn't have time to spend money to boo them, so they just ignored them.
