Chapter 267 History
Even the Knicks themselves didn't expect the Pistons to play like this. This opponent, who is not weak by reason, has completely fallen into a scoring drought.

There is no doubt that the Pistons have come to an end.

99:65，李海29分9篮板9助攻拿下准三双，带领球队取得了一场大胜。

On January 1, they played against the Arenas-less Wizards at home.

Objectively speaking, this season, when Arenas was injured and unable to play, Hai remained in the top eight in the Eastern Conference, and he played well.

But when they met a strong team like the Knicks, their weakness was fully exposed.

The Knicks established a double-digit lead in the first quarter, and this time they relied on the overall defense to gain the advantage, which made head coach Larry Brown very satisfied.

After establishing the lead, the Knicks crushed all the way.

This is also reasonable, they have an advantage inside and outside the line, and it is strange that they cannot suppress the opponent.

In the end, the Knicks also easily won the game 105:83, tying the team's winning streak again.

At this time, Li Hai's remarks became more domineering, "Since the record is in front of us, let's break it."

His record-breaking tone as simple as eating and drinking made many people very upset.

But no matter how upset he can only talk about it, but the Knicks' next opponent, the Nets, didn't say much.

The Nets' record this season is very average, and they can't speak.

But when the game started, they were extraordinarily fierce.

No one wants to be in the background for things like breaking records. This is the home court of the Nets, and they also expressed their fighting spirit to beat the Knicks.

Carter seemed to have returned to his peak in the first quarter, scoring all kinds of points without hesitating his physical strength.

"Concentrate, don't think about breaking the record, what we have to face is the opponent of the game."

"Be more aggressive. We are not afraid of fighting tough battles."

Li Hai kept motivating his opponents, and his performance was also very good. On the defensive end, he kept a clean sheet against Jefferson.

But the Nets, in addition to Carter, their rookie Sean - Williams broke out.

Not everyone can catch the Knicks' defensive weakness at the 4th position, but the Nets have caught it. This game must be different from the low-key on the surface, and they plan to fight the Knicks.

Kidd sent 10 assists in the first quarter, and the Knicks trailed by 11 points.

Seeing that the form was a bit subtle, when the lineup was rotated, Crawford, who had not been very eye-catching recently, hit three three-pointers in a row, and the score was shortened all of a sudden.

After all, Carter was no longer at his peak. After a burst, he immediately returned to his usual level.

After Li Hai returned to the field, he became more aggressive on the offensive end.

"The referee blew his whistle. Jefferson really wanted to stop Li Hai, but unfortunately he missed it."

"It's Li Hai again. He once again broke through Jefferson's defense. The Nets' inside line is almost undefended. From the beginning, Li Hai made a dunk. It's really...too violent."

"Camby also hit a mid-range shot. The Knicks opened up completely. They overtook the score. The Nets couldn't resist it."

After falling behind by 11 points for the first time, they overtook the score in the second quarter. This is the current Knicks, and they cannot be easily defeated at all.

In fact, the biggest problem for the Nets is their substitutes. Even if the main force goes all out and can compete with the Knicks, when it comes to rotation, they really have no one to stand up.

There is also their defense, which has been getting worse year by year in the past two years.

Facing the Knicks' offense in this game, they had nothing to do.

In the third quarter, the Knicks made efforts both internally and externally, blooming more, and suddenly expanded the score advantage to double digits.

The Nets give people the feeling that they are defeated like a mountain.

In the last quarter, the Nets finally regrouped and played better than the previous two quarters. They were almost evenly matched with the Knicks, but they were behind by double digits. If this is the case, they cannot win.

The Knicks finally defeated their opponents 115:101 and successfully won 19 consecutive victories, creating a new winning streak in team history and tying the Lakers' 19 consecutive victories.

As long as they win another game, they can tie the second record set by the Bucks in history, 20 consecutive victories.

Another World The Rockets will win 22 consecutive victories this season. I don't know if they can do it, but the Knicks have the opportunity first.

On January 1, the Knicks went to an away game against the Wizards.

The Wizards also exerted all their strength to prevent the Knicks from continuing their winning streak. Jamison seemed to be a completely different person from the previous game. He scored 13 points in the first quarter, and the effect was terribly high.

There is no doubt that he is also a 4th position that can be shot from the outside, which happens to restrain Randolph.

Just on defense, Jamison still couldn't guard Randolph in the paint.

Facing Caron Butler, Li Hai still had an absolute advantage, so even if Jamison exploded, the two teams exploded each other, and the Wizards did not take advantage of the Knicks.

During this rotation period, the Wizards' substitute Nick Young stepped up and scored 12 points in just a few minutes, allowing the Knicks to take a halftime break with a 5-point deficit.

The Knicks were behind in the score, but they didn't panic. The rookie player's outburst was an accident. They will pay attention to it in the second half and will not let the accident continue to happen.

In the second half, Jamison was still very excited. The Wizards had fallen many times in the hands of the Knicks. Today he also wanted to make the Knicks fall.

The Knicks have adopted a more special defensive method this season, isolating the opponent's fiery scorer from his teammates. Jamison can shoot from the outside if he wants to, but others don't want to score.

An ordinary team would definitely not be able to do it, but the Knicks are not an ordinary team either.

After defending against the rest of the Wizards, their offensive efficiency dropped significantly, while the Knicks' own offensive efficiency remained unchanged. The Wizards could only compete with them on offense, and they were completely incomparable in defense.

In the third quarter, the Knicks chased the score back. In the crucial fourth quarter, the Wizards had more than enough energy to stop the Knicks' winning streak.

If a team of their type doesn't win the game in one go, it will be difficult to win against a team like the Knicks.

The team's system, the strength of the stars, both sides are not at the same level.

In the end, the Knicks' defense was almost suffocating. After Li Hai returned to the court, he scored 2+1 on the first goal, showing his determination to lead the team to victory.

At 4 minutes and 14 seconds, Li Hai hit a three-pointer again, extending the lead to double digits, and the game basically had no suspense.

In the end, the Knicks also won 108:101, 20 consecutive victories, a new historical record.
