Chapter 303 The road is narrow

The game between the Knicks and the Nets was extremely intense, and at the last moment, the Nets once overtook the score and suppressed the New York Knicks on the court, and many people were very evil expecting the Nets to stop the Knicks' winning streak, but Li Feng stood up and told them that no one wanted to stop the Knicks' winning streak. ,!

The 21-game winning streak set a new league record and the third-longest winning streak in NBA history, ahead of which only the Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak and the Houston Rockets' 22-game winning streak.

It seems to be the arrangement of history, the New York Knicks have always encountered strong opponents in recent games, after the game with the Bulls, the New York Knicks, who have won 21 in a row, will have a chance to continue to break the record, as long as two wins, the Knicks can surpass the Houston Rockets' 22 consecutive wins, but, at this time, their opponent is the old enemy, the Miami Heat.

The New York Knicks will visit the Miami Heat's home arena at the American Airlines Arena to challenge for a 22-game winning streak.

The Heat and the Knicks are enemies, the godfather of the Heat, Pat Riley, was once the founder of the New York gang, 3 years, with Michael Jordan retiring from the basketball world with three consecutive championships, Pat Riley's New York Knicks re-became the hottest favorite in the East, although the 3-94 season of the Finals journey ended empty-handed, but the experience of missing the championship gave the entire Big Apple a shot in the arm, and everyone firmly believed that the Knicks would return to the Finals and win the championship trophy again.

However, the following year, the Knicks were eliminated by the Pacers 3-4 in the Eastern Conference semifinals and missed the Finals, and coach Pat Riley also defected to Miami as president and head coach.

Strangely, the head coach doesn't get much compensation for jumping to the team now, but at the time, the Knicks were compensated by a draft pick from the Heat, as if the draft pick was traded for the head coach.

Under Riley's tutelage, the Heat broke out of the cocoon the next year to score 61 wins, and replaced the New York Knicks as the champion of the Atlantic Division.

The encounter between the two teams in the Eastern Conference semifinals was dramatic, with the New Yorkers taking a 3-1 lead, but the Heat gritted their teeth to tie the score and eventually win Game 7.

And in this round of the series, because of the conflict between PJ Brown and Ward, the Knicks were heavily fined by the league, and the teams Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Aaron Houston, and John Starks were suspended.

In this way, the two teams have become mortal enemies.

Just one year later, in the 7-98 season, New York's Optimus Prime Ewing finally fell, in addition to the regular season is almost equivalent to scrapping, and will miss the playoffs and the first round of the Heat, the situation is very good for the Heat. Alan Houston, the king of mid-pitch football, took over the banner of New York, and was assisted by a group of interior gangsters such as Larry Johnson and Oakley, who were on a par with the Heat, and the whole series was even more tragic than before!

As in last year, the two teams met again with player suspensions, this time with Mourning and Johnson. In the first round of that year, it was still a best-of-5 system, so the banned Dazuo missed the fifth game of life and death. Alan Houston scored 30 points in Game 5, and the Heat were eliminated by New York, black 7!

And in 99, for three consecutive years, the Heat and the Knicks met in the playoffs, during the regular season, after the departure of MJ, Miami won the first record in the East in the shrinking season, and the team's pillar Allen Zuo Mourning was crowned the block king and the best defensive player in the regular season, and the Heat became the hottest king in the East.

However, as the No. 8 seed, the New Yorkers burst out in the face of their sworn enemies, and the 37-year-old Ewing Sr. scored 22 points and 11 rebounds in the life-and-death battle to lead the team to defeat the Heat, and it was 3-2!

It's down again! Another Black Eight miracle in the history of the alliance has reappeared!

Trampling Miami's corpse, the New Yorkers continued their Black Eight Miracle until the Finals defeat at the feet of David Robin, Tim Duncan and their Spurs.

This time, it is also the longest footprint in NBA history.

In the 2000 Eastern Conference playoff semifinals, the Knicks ended a four-year playoff feud between the two teams with a victory.

It was the last time the two teams went head-to-head this season, finishing second and third in the East in the regular season and meeting again in the Eastern Conference semifinals for the fourth year in a row.

This season, Da Zuo won the block king and the best defensive player, and no one probably thought at the time that this would be the peak of Da Zuo's last year, and the 38-year-old Ewing Sr. opposite is also about to bid farewell to his career in New York

After the whole series was scorched to the worst, in the seventh game of life and death, a pair of Georgetown centers complemented each other, such as the day of the great Zuo contributed 29 points, 13 boards and 5 hats, and the old Ewing also desperately scored 20 points, 10 boards and 2 risks, and finally the Knicks won by virtue of the overall advantage of 1 point, knocking out the Heat for the third consecutive year!

After four years of deathmatching, but no matter who won the winner, the New Yorkers who had passed the Heat met Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals and went out 2-4.

In the summer of the same year, Dazuo was diagnosed with kidney failure before the start of the new season, and an era for the Heat came to an end

After four consecutive years of fierce battles, the grudge between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat has been irresolvable.

After that, the two teams sank for many years, the Heat recovered after getting O'Neal, but the Knicks were still fighting for playoff tickets, until Li Feng arrived, and the Knicks rebounded strongly and returned to the ranks of the league's powerhouses.

In the summer of 2010, when the free market was surging, the Knicks already had a super rookie Tyrannosaurus Rex Li Feng who played fantastic results, but they still had high expectations for James, and after two full seasons of swinging, salary space optimization, trading draft picks, making promises to fans, gradual improvement, full of expectations but without warning, James announced that he would join forces with Boss, Wade and Riley, and at this moment, all the efforts of the New Yorkers and their hearts were broken.

"Lost" James, the Knicks, like the Clevelands, saw James as a mortal enemy, just as Boozer defected to the Jazz.

And Li Feng, a promising rookie, led the Knicks to sweep James in the playoffs the year before the Cavaliers, and as if a fateful matchup, the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat met in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Knicks, who fought seven games with the Chicago Bulls, were on the same ball, and they swept the team with James again in the highly competitive Eastern Conference Finals.

It is naturally impossible for the media to be unaware of the grievances between the two teams, in fact, every time the two teams face off, they will be happy to use this as a gimmick.

Of course, when it comes to the Knicks and the Heat now, the confrontation between Li Feng and James, the two super forwards, naturally cannot be ignored.

In fact, compared to the Heat Knicks grudge that has been used for more than ten years, the duel between Li Feng and James is more attractive, just like the black and white Magician and Big Bird back then.

Now that the two teams are meeting again, the Knicks are far from being able to compare with the Heat in the past ten years, and every time they meet the Heat, especially at the Knicks' home court, they have to be flaunted by the Heat.

Now that feng shui is taking turns, some media outlets in New York have even used words like the Heat's "fear of the Knicks" and James' "fear of Li Feng".

However, Heat coach Spoelstra also responded to this news:

"It seems that New Yorkers really like to reminisce about the past, and they have found out the history of more than ten years ago. Of course, I can also understand them, after all, they only managed to have a winning streak, which can be celebrated and added some connotation. ”

The Philippines is obviously sarcastic that the Knicks have lost their underwear in the past ten years, and now they are like nouveau riche, isn't it just 21 consecutive wins, what is there to be happy about.

The media in New York had just succeeded in igniting the gunpowder between the two teams and causing a war of words between the two teams

Cousins was the first to respond to Spoelstra:

"The Heat's record in recent years is very good, but if I'm not mistaken, last year's championship was us, and it was the Heat who was swept, so I don't know why anyone would be so proud!"

Cousins' riposte is not sharp, his meaning is obvious, when Spoelstra is satirizing the New York media, why is he not using the Heat to suppress the Knicks for more than ten years to put gold on his face?

However, at that time, this Filipino monkey was still in the bed, and he led the Heat team but did not get any decent honors, but was swept by the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Seeing that the coach of the team was sprayed, and it was still his team's sworn enemy who spoke, Wade stood up decisively:

"I would say that some people should forget about their accolades in the team because his performances in the league are simply useless"

Wade is clearly slamming Cousins for not making it to the All-Star, and Monroe in the New York Twin Towers both made it to the All-Star last year, and Wade is not trying to provoke.

Li Feng also stood up, and he countered Wade's words:

"Of course, some people don't want to mention the team's record, because its championships are all picked up by Shaq's protection, and the lack of a regular season MVP is proof of that."

Li Feng's counterattack is also very sharp, although Wade has won the championship, but Cuban still has Wade's "seven steps to kill" and "eighteen falls" glory in the finals that year, Wade has never been a regular season MVP, nor has he led the team to win the championship independently.

Although Li Feng is young and has only played in the NBA for more than two years, his honor is the envy of most professional players, winning the NBA championship for two years, including three MVPs, the youngest 60 points, 70 points, and 80 points, such efficiency can be called a "trophy reaper"

In the Heat, except for Wade, James remained silent at this time, and Bosh began to fight back.

Bosh said in an interview:

"I think some of you are starting to get carried away, obviously forgetting that his qualifications on the basketball court are so shallow. I want to remind some young people that you are still tender."

Bosh couldn't find an excuse, and actually began to rely on the old to sell the old, in fact, he was not even thirty years old......

Before Li Feng could fight back, as a rookie player for the Knicks this year, Chandler Parsons, a little guy, stood up, and he said in an interview:

"I can't get used to some people using their qualifications to pressure people, experience in basketball is very important, but some people, after playing for so many years, are still as frizzy as a young man, and they will spray people at every turn, which really doesn't look like an admirable 'senior'" "

Kirilenko, another player on the Knicks, also stood up and expressed his support for Li Feng:

"I think some people have forgotten how they were blown up in the game. The basketball court pays attention to strength, not qualifications, and the seniors who are really qualified will not use their qualifications to oppress people."

……

What started as a conversation between teams turned out to be a mutual insult between players, and the two teams, with the exception of individual players, even many substitutes jumped out to participate in the war.

It can be said that before the game started, the two teams were already pinching each other off the field.

The people who laugh the most are the media, because in this way, they can find good topics to cover and increase sales.

At the same time, the fans' attention was completely drawn to the game, and their eyes were already on the American Airlines Center in the evening.
