After the Knicks and the Clippers' match ended, the New York media began to take advantage of their public opinion and pointed their finger at Byron Davis' malicious foul, hoping that the league would punish him additionally.

Emperor Wu had been doing this for a long time. His comments after the game were equivalent to saying to the police, "He accidentally put his hand in my pocket and then accidentally took out my wallet, so he should not be a thief."

Byron Davis was indeed suspended by the league the next day. He attacked his opponent from behind, but this matter could not be resolved.

However, the Knicks did not get any good results. After studying the video, the league unexpectedly showed that when Garlinari was pulling the squad, he secretly kicked Byron Davis who was pushed to the ground by Harrington. This action was as bad as that, so the unethical Italian was also added with a "first-level malicious foul" and was suspended for one game.

What does a ban mean? At least in D'Antoni's opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing. "Although a ban is banned, it may give him a renewed motivation." said the beard.

The Knicks are recently scheduled to play more time for Larry Hughes, and Garlinari's playing time has been compressed during this period, which is also the reason why he has been performing unstable. Even fans know that without a stable playing time and positioning, it will be difficult to find a stable state.

Although Garlinari was not very satisfied with this, D'Antoni privately revealed to him that the team would trade Larry Hughes before the trade deadline, and then he would become the team's small forward, so he would endure it during this period.

On December 2o, Fagan from the Houston Chronicle:

After McGrady's comeback, rumors about his trade began to heat up again, but for Morey, he would not make a deal that would only be good for this season, he would only make a deal that has long-term interests.

The Rockets made McGrady comeback just want to display him like an "item" and watch it for each interested team? Don't even think so.

In fact, even Morey didn't know that Adelman changed his mind and suddenly made McGrady comeback. Until Coach announced this, Morey didn't know. If the Rockets were just to show McGrady to other teams, then there was no reason why the general manager didn't know about this.

If the Rockets really want to trade McGrady, then Morey has to understand that he has to accept bad contracts from other teams. If he wants to reach a deal, he has to accept such a contract. The most likely plot is as follows: The Rockets will try to get a young player with potential and then accept bad contracts that come with them at the same time.

The Houston Chronicle has always been the mouthpiece of the Rockets, but the meaning expressed before and after this report is refuted, which is obviously an article for people with different thoughts. Perhaps the Rockets want to use this to test the thoughts of each team, and it also gives a signal that they do want to trade McGrady and can accept bad contracts, but at the same time they must also get young players with potential.

The Knicks' management has begun to look for third-party teams to trade. Teams who are good at observing may see that the Rockets have been deliberately providing Landry with a large number of playing opportunities recently. This is a signal that the Houstonians are probably trying to exchange Landry, which is a conflict with Scola's position to exchange for the second and third-place players they are more urgently needed.

The next day, the Knicks were at home and played against the Charlotte Bobcats again, but in the end they lost the game at 1o5:11o, which is the second time the Knicks have lost to the Bobcats this season.

Emperor Wu scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, 1o assists, 3 steals, 1 block, Harrington scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, Iguodala scored 19 points, 5 assists, David Lee scored 13 points, 8 rebounds, Hughes scored 15 points, and Gallinari scored 12 points.

After the game, New York Times expert Dasabie wrote that the Knicks lost something today, but it seemed like they were playing hard.

The Knicks beat the Bobcats in rebounding, and their second offensive scores and fast break scores were both better than the Bobcats. It was no problem to see the basketball running.

In the whole game, the Knicks hit a total of 38 goals, of which 22 were assists.

However, today's Knicks are not as sharp as the day before yesterday, and their offense and defense strength is obviously insufficient.

They look a little tired and have a slow pace. When the offensive progress is not going well, they may even become impatient and like to choose to use three-pointers to do it recklessly.

"I don't think we're playing enough energy tonight," D'Antoni always got up a slower pace after the game. We kept insisting and even once chased the score difference to only 3 points, but we never crossed this hurdle. I don't know why, in short, we lacked energy in this game."

Compared to physical, they seem to lack mental or emotional energy, and their fast break frequency has also declined. Perhaps this has something to do with the difficult schedule. So far, the Knicks have experienced four back-to-back games this season. The last game they defeated the Clippers in a back-to-back difficult situation, which may have overdrawn their energy.

Today, the Knicks had a frustrating game, but they had to get through it.

"The Knicks don't look like they used to be the same today, and this determination is why they have achieved a surprising start to the season," D'Antoni said after the game.

Dasabie agrees with this view, but there is no need to blame the players. There is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome. Today's Knicks are indeed lost. This is normal. However, they do not have enough room to bear the continuous mistakes. No matter what they lose in this game, they need to find them as soon as possible.

These are the views of the New York media and fans on the Knicks' loss, and they are generally relatively positive.

But ESPN doesn't think so. The Knicks are indeed affected by some back-to-back today, but the real reason for the loss is that Bobcats coach Larry Brown has an absolute advantage in the arrangement of troops.

Larry Brown is the NBA champion coach. Perhaps his championship ring does not have Zen Master and Viccido, but most fans think that he is at the same level as the two great coaches above. But he has many shortcomings, such as he likes to compete with players and has too much control over the team. The management will also dislike him very much, and he is unwilling to use and cultivate young balls, and is not good at stimulating the potential of players.

However, once Larry Brown has good players who conform to his philosophy and these players are obedient, his energy will be unstoppable. For example, the Pistons do not have so-called superstars, but only iron discipline and rules.

The Bobcats defeated the Knicks twice this month, and the methods used were completely consistent. On the defensive end, they would first adopt the basic strategy of blocking the middle and putting the two wings. When the ball came to the wing, the Bobcats would immediately use pressure to defend the ball holder with high pressure. When the offensive time reaches the last 8 seconds, the Bobcats players will cut off your pass line and force the offensive side to choose unreasonable shots to reduce the Knicks players' shooting rate.

When the Knicks use pick-and-roll, the Bobcats' outside and inside lines will do teaching-like delays and return positions. When retreating, they do not forget to open their hands to interfere with the passing route, and do extremely well in details. When the Knicks catches the backcourt rebound, they like to play fast attacks and chase attacks. The Bobcats will have selective pressure at this time to prevent the Knicks from breaking fast attacks.

Larry Brown can be said to have completely studied his old club. The Bobcats have done a good job in defensive details. Tyson Chandler, Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Dior, and Felton, five players with excellent defensive performance in Larry Brown's system, and their defensive effects are surprisingly good.

The Knicks have always been not good at positional battles and lacked offensive ability. They mainly rely on fast attacks and pick-and-rolls. Once they encounter the Charlotte Bobcats that are as precise and strict as machines, they will be like they have encountered a nemesis.

D'Antoni should take these two losses as a warning. In fact, losing to the Bobcats is a good thing for New York, because few teams in the regular season will put so much effort into a game. The two games of the Knicks playing the Bobcats have become a bit of a playoff flavor, which means that the Bobcats are spared no effort to help the New Yorkers find problems. A coach like Larry Brown can help the Knicks find most of their flaws.

Two days later, the Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls at home.

The Bobcats doubled the Knicks this month, and the latter also doubled the Bulls in December. The three have a bit of mutual restraint.

Wu Huang has played against the Bulls three times this season. Every time he met last season's No. 1 pick Derek Ross, his performance was good, and this game was no exception. Although he was scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists by Ross, he also scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. His overall performance was stronger than last season's best rookie.

After the Knicks finished the first three quarters, they led the Bulls with a big score of 86:68.

At this moment, everyone thought that the game should be over.

But shortly after the start of the last quarter, Salmons scored 5 points alone, and a 9:2 counterattack in a round allowed the Bulls to chase the score to 77:88. Gallinari hit 3 points, and the Bulls' Ross and Noah each scored 4 points. One minute before the final game, the Bulls chased the score to 95:98.

In one quarter, the advantage of 18 points is about to be chased, and the Knicks players are now panicked.

Wu Huang stepped forward at a critical moment and made a long-distance three-pointer from the top of the arc, stabilizing the shaky morale and preventing the team from being staged by the opponent in the final quarter.

Iguodala then played two plus one, and the Knicks defeated the Bulls at home to avoid two consecutive losses

This game is the last game before the Knicks' Christmas game. After defeating the Bulls, they will prepare for the Christmas game on December 25. The opponent is the Miami Heat, not far from New York. The Flash will lead the team to Madison Square Garden on Christmas Eve. (To be continued.)
