The game against the Knicks was home game, the Magic were waiting for Orlando, and the Knicks arrived in Orlando a day later.

At the airport, a reporter relayed Jonny's words to Alan Houston.

"He is an ordinary player, am I a star player?" Alan Houston's face turned cold when he heard Joni's words reposted by the reporter. Alan Houston's face was very high, especially after he accepted the Knicks' tens of millions of contract this summer.

The so-called "Jonny" thrown by him that Alan Houston knows the gap between ordinary players and star players made Alan Houston feel a shame. He never felt that Jonny could be compared with him, let alone that Joonny thought he was more powerful than him.

"No, he must mean that he is a star player." The reporter continued to provoke, and he wanted to hear Alan Houston's even more explosive words.

"He's just a guy who likes to talk big." Alan Houston made ridiculous moves and kept shaking his head.

"Hey, journalists, what are you talking about?" Seeing Alan Houston standing in front of a group of reporters, Jeff Van Gundy walked up there.

"Nothing." Alan Houston shook his head. His relationship with Jeff Van Gundy was not good. He played 9 games this season and was in a bad state. Alan Houston attributed all this to Jeff Van Gundy's tactics.

However, Alan Houston was unwilling to say that the reporters were very willing. A reporter immediately explained the reason: "The rookie of the Magic thinks Alan Houston is an ordinary player, and he himself is a star player. He said that in the next game, he will let Alan Houston feel the gap between the two."

Only then did Jeff Van Gundy understand. He held his chin and thought about it. Although he didn't like the player Alan Houston very much, he still had to speak for his players in front of the media.

"Then I think that rookie is talking big. Alan Houston got a contract of tens of millions. He is a famous star player in the league." Jeff Van Gundy said lightly, then looked at Alan Houston, as if he wanted to see gratitude in Alan Houston's eyes.

But Alan Houston just smiled a little, thank you? What is that? Alan Houston won't be grateful to Jeff Van Gundy. Now Alan Houston has always hoped that the Knicks can change their coach.

If Jeff Van Gundy didn't get Alan Houston's gratitude, he didn't have any expression. Then he asked Alan Houston to get on the bus. They also had to go to Amway Stadium to adapt to the venue and the game was about to be played in the afternoon.

The passage of Jeff Van Gundy speaking for his players outside the airport naturally reached the Magician's ears. Brian Hill had no response to Jeff Van Gundy's words. Of course, he could not say that what Jeff Van Gundy and Alan Houston were right, but in fact, Brian Hill still thought so in his heart.

So, when the Knicks kept belittling Joni's words, Magic didn't even have any coaches or senior managers to come forward to talk to Joni. Until Richie Adubatu couldn't stand it anymore, then there was a Magician who helped Joni speak.

"NBA now has too many players who have won bad contracts, and the season has started for a while. Alan Houston's performance is not worthy of this contract at all. On the contrary, Joni, his performance, even if he gives a larger contract, is worthy of it. Therefore, it is very obvious who is a star player and who is an ordinary player."

Ricci Adubatu's words were very targeted. Alan Houston learned about Ricci Adubatu's words and said nothing for a long time. He did not perform well for a long time. Ricci Adubatu directly exposed this point, which actually made Alan Houston even more disgusted with Jeff Van Gundy.

The afternoon game started soon, and the Amway Arena was still full, and the fans cheered happily, but Joni was not happy. He failed to start again. It seemed that his outstanding performance in several consecutive games still could not help him get this seemingly easy starting position.

However, Nick Anderson had already felt the crisis at this time, from Jonny Lee. He originally thought that the one who could threaten his starting position would be the one who was deeply injured last season and finally became healthy this season. However, as soon as Jonny appeared, Gerald Wilkins became the third substitute in the shooting guard, leaving Nick Anderson's own starting position in danger.

If Coach Brian Hill didn't like that Asian, maybe his starting position would have been gone long ago. Nick Anderson felt very urgency. In this game, he wanted to show a brilliant performance.

And his target was on Alan Houston. It is said that this kid has not performed well recently? Nick Anderson touched his chin, which was a godsend opportunity.

Alan Houston was still staring at Joni who was depressed off the court, showing a vicious look. He didn't know that he had been regarded as a pedal stone by another player.

The game started soon, and Joni failed to start, which made Alan Houston feel secretly happy. He couldn't wait to say: "Look, are you considered a star player? Who can't even start the starter?"

However, before Alan Houston could be happy, a head suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Boy, wash your anus in this game and wait for me!" Nick Anderson threw a sentence, then stood in his position and waited for the ball to jump, regardless of Alan Houston's suspicious and angry eyes.

In the game, Brian Hill made an adjustment in this game. He took Ronnie Secali from the starting position, and then let David Vaughan start, let Horris Grant hit the center position, and defended Patrick Ewing.

In the jump ball, Horris Grant naturally lost to Patrick Ewing, and the Knicks got the ball.

At this time, the Knicks are still the best team in the league. After changing coaches last season, they can still rank in the top four in the East. At the beginning of this season, their performance was also very strong, with 7 wins and 2 losses in 9 games. Although the newly introduced strong aid Alan Houston was in poor form, the Knicks still showed an extremely hot winning state overall.

Before this game, they had won five consecutive victories, and the Magic also had four consecutive victories, so after this game, there must be a team that will end their winning streak. Both sides do not want to lose themselves, so from the beginning, the game was very fierce. They competed for the ball rights on the court and did not give in to each other.

Alan Houston got the ball, and Nick Anderson looked at Alan Houston very nervously. In this game, he not only had to beat Alan Houston on the offensive end, but also had to make Alan Houston completely unable to find the rhythm of taking action on the defensive end.

Alan Houston is nicknamed the king of mid-range shots. As the name suggests, his mid-range shots are very good. As an excellent shooter, Alan Houston's breakthrough is a bit bad, so Nick Anderson's defense method is also very simple, defending Alan Houston's shooting.

Alan Houston made a few fake moves and wanted to shake Nick Anderson away, but you see Anderson was unmoved. He knew that Alan Houston's hand movements were all deceptive. It can be really seen that Alan Houston's next move was Alan Houston's feet.

As an Alan Houston with a textbook shooting posture, every shot he shoots is textbook, which makes Alan Houston's shooting very easy to predict. You just need to stare at Alan Houston's footsteps and movements.

Alan Houston was helpless. He didn't find any room to shoot and could only pass the ball again.

Now the Knicks' starting point guard is called Charlie Ward, but this point guard is just a point guard who plays a so-called role. His ability to organize and pass the ball is average, so there is no organizer in the Knicks' lineup. When the aunt Larry Johnson got the ball, he went solo.

This is the offensive tactic that the Knicks often use now - doing it alone. Jeff Van Gundy is a coach who is good at coaching defense, but offense is something that Jeff Van Gundy is not very good at, especially since this team does not have an excellent organizer yet.

Larry Johnson's solo effort failed to score, and the rebound was obtained by Patrick Ewing. The Gorilla was just a dunk and succeeded. It seemed that Brian Hill's arrangement did not play any role.

Immediately afterwards, Nick Anderson wanted to get the ball from Anfini Hardaway to face Alan Houston's defense.

Alan Houston is not a defensive shooting guard, and his defense is not good. For Nick Anderson then rushed into the inside with the help of David Vaughan's pick-and-roll, Alan Houston could only watch Nick Anderson's close shot after a breakthrough.

In the first goal, Nick Anderson won the match against Alan Houston!

Immediately afterwards, Alan Houston missed a shot under Nick Anderson's defense and shot at the opportunity. In order to show his value, Nick Anderson worked very hard every time he attacked and defended.
