The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

LeBron is very satisfied with his "Death's Eye" persona.

Facing Su Wan's claim that he would break them apart, he continued to display that determination: "We are already standing on the edge of a cliff, we have no way back, everyone knows this is a year we cannot lose, we have to give it our all."

As he spoke, his gaze became firm again.

Anyone who tries to disband my team, I will end his life! — S14 Brother Breath's Talent Rune has been configured.

What is this "NBA Be Hard"!

The New York media and Heat Team media are constantly engaged in trash talk.

Various old stories have been brought up:

The main core protagonist is Pat Riley.

The "Divine Calculator" was once overthrown by Johnson, expelled from Los Angeles, and then in the 90s fell to New York as a fugitive, and brought out the "New York Gang," proving his ability and bringing the New York Knicks to a corresponding height. — There is no way, that was the era of Jordan, Ewing has been his background from college, Pat Riley believed he had tried his best. Then Jordan announced his first comeback, the New York Knicks missed their best championship window, and Pat Riley left the New York Knicks and went to Miami to form the "South Coast Gang."

But in the eyes of New Yorkers, it was New York that showed great compassion to take in the then homeless Pat Riley and helped him climb to the peak; without New Yorkers, there would be no "second spring" for Pat Riley's career.

In the summer of 95, he clearly still had 1 year of contract with the New York Knicks unfulfilled, yet he chose to unilaterally cut the contract and turn to Miami, becoming Miami's head coach and operation president.

This is what being blinded by greater power and more money means!

Such a "traitor," New York absolutely cannot tolerate.

During those years, whenever Riley visited Madison Square Garden, the Knicks would always greet him with huge boos. Riley was not to be outdone, he would always respond to New York fans with flying kisses from the sideline.

Up to this part, it was merely personal grudges between the New York Knicks and Pat Riley.

In the 97 playoffs, the Knicks met Riley, who turned to the Heat Team, in the semifinals; they successfully made a 3-1 lead in the first 4 games, about to strike down the traitor. During the 5th game of the series, pj-Brown suddenly went crazy on the court, using a non-basketball move to throw Charlie Ward to the ground; the New York main players on the bench could not hold back, each rushed up and pinned pj-Brown to the ground, and NBA's famous "pile up" happened during this game.

Due to this fight, 5 key Knicks players were suspended in the sixth and seventh games, and the Heat Team successfully completed a comeback through instigating the fight.

There were rumors after the game that Pat Riley was too familiar with Knicks players, thus deliberately causing pj-Brown to commit malicious fouls in the 5th game of the series, to anger the main New York players.

Seeing the news, New Yorkers' hatred for Pat Riley increased several times.

In 98, they awaited their chance for revenge, although this time they were only the seventh in the Eastern Conference, and the Heat Team was second in the Eastern Conference, but the annoyance from last year made the main New York Knicks eager for action, from the first game they aimed to fight.

Especially Larry Johnson and Mo Ning, when they were teammates in Hornets, they couldn't stand each other fighting for the lead position, this time on the court meeting, they started off with a brawl, along with playing the ball. Later they didn't even play, directly fought each other.

Van Gundy's "leg hugging" iconic scene happened in this series.

Ultimately led to both sides being suspended.

The 98 Heat Team was Mo Ning's "single core" leading year, Mo Ning's suspension eventually led to Heat Team being "black seven-ed."

The New York Knicks retaliated fiercely using the method Pat Riley used against them last year.

Also deepened the grudges between the two teams.

In the 99 "Shortened Season," the two teams met again in the first round of the playoffs.

The New York Knicks were still lower seed.

But they really have to thank the Heat Team for making it to the playoffs.

Because they once ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference, Heat Team player, "great contributor" of the 95 reversal PJ-Brown directly declared: "I never care about teams that don't make the playoffs."

This remark deeply stimulated the New York Knicks.

They won 6 out of the last 8 games of the season, including two wins over the Heat Team.

This situation is somewhat similar to the "black eight" in 07.

The Mavericks also had a chance to block Warriors from entering the playoffs, but they did not seize the opportunity in the regular season allowing Warriors to win a crucial regular season game.

Heat Team is even more ruthless, letting New York Knicks win 2 consecutive games, pushing them straight into the playoffs gate.

As a result, the Mavericks were "black eight-ed," and the Heat Team was also "black eight-ed."

Thanks to Alan Houston's game-winning shot, the New York Knicks after sending "black seven" to the Heat Team last year, immediately sent "black eight" to the Heat Team, could say Riley was truly humiliated.

The only pity is, by this time, Pat Riley had not been head coach for a long time.

The defeated Heat Team's New York Knicks created "black eight teams" best playoff achievement, reaching all the way to the finals.

In 00, both teams met in the playoffs stage for the fourth game, this time "Lady Luck" favored the Knicks.
