The team continued to struggle for a few years while adding good players through trades and the draft. Perhaps the most important personnel move was the decision to replace Dick McGuire as coach with William "Red" Holzman midway through the 1967-68 season. The Knicks had gone 15-22 under McGuire; Holzman steered them to a 28-17 finish. New York's 43-39 record gave the team its first winning season since 1958-59. 球队在接下来的几年持续挣扎中，在这段找寻好球员还有选秀的过程中。其中或许最重要 的一个人事异动应该是在67-68球季中替换掉Dick McGuire而请William "Red" Holzma担 任教练一职。在McGuire执教的前半季球队一共是15胜22败。而Holzman却带领球队接着以 28胜17败结束这个球季。尼克终於以43胜39败自58-59球季以来第一次胜率破五成。 Reed continued to make annual appearances in the NBA All-Star Game. By this time he was playing power forward instead of center in order to make room for Walt Bellamy. Reed continued to work hard on the boards, averaging 11.6 rebounds in 1965-66 and 14.6 in 1966-67, both top-10 marks in the league. By the latter season he had adjusted to the nuances of his new position, averaging 20.9 points to rank eighth in the NBA Reed持续在每年的NBA全明星赛中现身。　另外在此时他开始改打大前锋，好让Walt Bellamy可以打中锋。而Reed开始持续的在篮板方面下功夫，在65-66球季平均11.6个篮板 ，66-67则有14.6个篮板，双双都是联盟的前10名 。隔年当他适应了新的位置以後，平均 20.9分是联盟中的第八名。 New York won 54 games in 1968-69 after staggering to a 6-10 start. On Dec. 19, the Knicks traded Bellamy and Howard Komives to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Dave DeBusschere. The trade was good for Reed in two ways. First, DeBusschere assumed some of the heavy labor inside, thereby taking some of the pressure off Reed. But second and more importantly, DeBusschere was a legitimate forward, which meant that Reed could move back to the pivot position, where he was more comfortable and effective. "Since that trade, I feel like a new person," Reed said at the time. "Center is my position." 在68-69球季，尼克摆脱开季6胜10败的窘境最後赢得54胜。在12月19号尼克拿Bellamy和 Howard Komiyes与底特律活塞进行交易，换来了Dave DeBusschere.。这项交易对於Reed 有两个帮助，首先DeBusschere可以分担再禁区的苦工，分担了Reed的压力。第二点也是 最重要的一点，DeBusschere是正统的前锋，那表示Reed可以回到中锋的位置，那让他感 到更适合而且更有效率。Reed说到"自从那个交易之後，我像是重获新生，中锋才是属於 我的位置。" In a game played the day after the trade it was obvious which team had made out best in the exchange. The Knicks pounded the Pistons, 135-87; the 48-point margin of victory was the Knicks' largest ever. From December 17 through January 4 New York sailed off on a 10-game winning streak, then had another 11-game streak from January 25 through February 15. 在交易後的第一场比赛可以看出这个交易真的对球队助益非浅。尼克以135-81痛宰了活塞 队；48分是尼克队队史上最大的胜分差。从12月17号到1月4号尼克拉出了一波１０连胜， 接着在1月25号到2月15号又拉出了一波11连胜。 The Knicks stressed defense. In 1968-69 New York held opponents to a league-low 105.2 points per game. With Reed clogging the middle and Walt Frazier pressuring the ball, the Knicks would be the best defensive club in the league for five of the next six seasons. Reed scored 21.1 ppg in 1968-69 and grabbed a franchise-record 1,191 rebounds, an average of 14.5 rpg. 尼克开始加强防守。在68-69球季尼克让对手平均只能得到105.2分 。有Reed坐镇中枢封 阻对手以及Walt Frazier对持球者施压。尼克在接下来的5、６季是全联盟最优秀的防守 队伍。那年Reed平均21.1分以及抓下14.5个篮板。 In 1969-70, the Knicks jumped out to a 14-1 start and went on to win 60 regular-season games for the first time in franchise history. New York's victories included a then NBA-record 18-game winning streak. Reed, who took home MVP honors at the 1970 NBA All-Star Game, averaged 21.7 ppg during the season, his highest season mark ever. But his most remarkable statistical characteristic was his steadiness: from 1966-67 to 1970-71, Reed notched averages of 20.9, 20.8, 21.1, 21.7, and 20.9 points per game, respectively. 69-70球季开季尼克便拉出了14-1败的开季成绩，并且让球队第一次在常规赛暨突破60胜 。而且尼克还创下了NBA纪录的空前18连胜。Reed获得全明星赛的MVP，在这个球季平均得 分是职业新高的21.7分。而最让人值得注意的是他的稳定性，从66-67年到70-71年，Reed 平均得分是20.9、20.8、21.1、21.7、20.9，真的十分令人尊敬。 In the 1970 playoffs, New York defeated the Baltimore Bullets in seven games and bounced the Milwaukee Bucks in five to advance to a dramatic NBA Finals against a Los Angeles team led by Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Chamberlain. Both Game 3 and Game 4 went into overtime, with each team winning one contest. Reed, whose magic in the legendary Game 7 led the Knicks to the title, was named the NBA Most Valuable Player, the All-Star Game MVP and the NBA Finals MVP. He and teammate Walt Frazier were selected to the All-NBA First Team, the first Knicks players to earn that honor since Harry Gallatin in 1953-54. 在70年的季後赛，尼克与巴尔的摩子弹队鏖战7场接着以5场解决了米尔瓦基公鹿进入冠军 战，迎战的是由Jerry West以及Elgin Baylor还有张伯伦领军的洛杉矶湖人队。在第3、4 战分别进入了延长加赛，而两队分别拿下一胜。Reed再第七战传奇的演出让尼克夺下桂冠 ，他也获得总冠军MVP，别忘记他同时也是明星赛以及常规赛季的MVP。他和队友Walt Frazier同时进入NBA第一队，这也是尼克自从53-54年的Harry Gallatin之後第一次有人 获此殊荣。 The lefthanded Reed presented a problem for opposing defenders. He had the bulk and the touch to play inside, but he was also deadly with his soft jump shot from up to 15 feet away. When he didn't possess the ball he was effective at setting picks to free up teammates, an essential element of the Knicks' perpetual-motion offense. 左撇子的Reed给了对手很大的困扰。他有巨大的身躯可以单打禁区，却又同时拥有致命的 可以在15尺外跳投的柔软手感。当他没有持球的时候也可有有效的为队友致让空档，而这 是尼克跑动进攻比要的元素。 The Knicks' trademark was teamwork, and each player knew his role. Frazier was a reliable playmaker and defender; DeBusschere excelled as a rebounder; Bradley was a tireless and intelligent runner; and Dick Barnett distinguished himself as a jump shooter. Reed, Frazier, DeBusschere, and Bradley all ended up in the Hall of Fame. 尼克队最让人称道的就是他们的团队合作，每个球员都知道自己的职责所在。Frazier是 一个可以信赖的主控还有防守者，DeBusschere是一个杰出的抢篮板好手，Bradley是永不 疲累而且智慧的跑动球员，Dick Barnett则是一个出色的跳投球员。Reed、DeBusschere 以及Bradley全都进入了篮球名人堂。 The Knicks slipped to 52-30 in the 1970-71 season, still good enough for first place in the Atlantic Division. In mid-season, Reed tied Harry Gallatin's all-time club record by hauling in 33 rebounds against the Cincinnati Royals. Once again Reed started in the All-Star Game. For the season, he averaged 20.9 ppg and 13.7 rpg, but the Knicks were eliminated by Baltimore in the Eastern Conference Finals. In 1971-72 Reed was bothered by tendinitis in his left knee, limiting his mobility. He missed two weeks early in the season and returned, but shortly thereafter the injured knee prohibited him from playing and he totaled only 11 games for the year. 尼克在70-70球季打出52-30的成绩，已经够好让他们在大西洋区称王。再球季中一场对上 辛辛那提皇家的比赛，Reed抓下了平Harry Gallatin's所创下NBA纪录的33个篮板！　又 一次Reed又在明星赛先发。在这个球季他平均20.9分以及13.7个篮板，但是尼克在东区冠 军赛被巴尔的摩淘汰了。在71-72球季，Reed被他左膝的肌炎困扰而影响了他的移动能力 。他错过了开季的前两个礼拜才回来，不过很快的他的伤势迫使他再度休息，那年Reed只 打了11场比赛。 The 1972-73 Knicks finished the season with a 57-25 record and went on to win another NBA title. Reed was less of a contributor than he had been two seasons earlier. In 69 regular-season games he averaged only 11.0 points. In the playoffs the Knicks beat Baltimore and the Boston Celtics and once more faced the Lakers in the Finals. After losing the first game the Knicks captured four straight, claiming their second NBA Championship with a 102-93 victory in Game 5. Reed leading a well-balanced team was named NBA Finals MVP. 在72-73球季，尼克57-25的优秀成绩并且赢得了另一个冠军奖呗。Reed比前两个球季比较 没有那麽多的贡献。他在出赛的69场比赛中平均只获得11分。在季後赛尼克击败了巴尔的 摩以及波士顿塞尔蒂克，并且又在冠军赛遭遇到洛杉矶湖人。在输了第一场比赛後连赢四 场，赢得了队史第二个冠军。Reed获得了总冠军MVP。 Reed played 19 games in 1973-74 before retiring. In his 10 years with New York he had earned a place in the Knicks' top 10 in nearly every category, and he was among the top three in minutes played (23,073), field goals made (4,859), rebounds (8,414) and total points (12,183). In 1976, Reed became the first Knicks player to have his uniform number retired. 在73-74球季Reed在退休前打了19场比赛。他在尼克的10年中赢的了在各项队史统计数字 的Top 10，由其事这四项更是前三名，分别是上场时间(23,073)、进篮数(4,859)、篮板 (8,414)还有得分(12,183)。在1976年，Reed是球队第一个号码被退休的球员。 The Knicks' dynasty broke up over the next few years. Reed took over as coach for the 1977-78 season and managed to coax a 43-39 record out of the squad. However, he was removed as coach only 14 games into the following season 尼克王朝在接下来的几年逐渐瓦解。Reed在1977-78年执掌了尼克兵符并且拿下了43-39的 成绩，不过在隔年打了14场比赛就卸下兵符。 接下来是讲Reed一些有的没的执教过程，就省略过去。 总之他在2003-04训练营前加入了尼克的幕後团队。 The words that describe Reed's playing career may sound like a quaint cliche, but they are appropriate: endurance, pride, dignity, obligation, hard work and courage. For a decade he applied those qualities day in and day out on the basketball court, but they were distilled into a couple of dramatic minutes at the start of Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals. Two decades after that legendary night Reed recalled, "There isn't a day in my life that people don't remind me of that game." 也许这些描述Reed的文字听起来或许有点陈腔滥调的美好，可是他们却是再贴切不过了： 坚忍、骄傲、尊严、责任、努力态度、勇气。在那十年里他把这些特质完整的表现在球场 上，而在1970年怪军赛的第七场的几分钟就是这些的缩影。20年後Redd谈到这件事"生活 中的每一天总是有人跟我提起那天晚上" 生涯数据 G FG% FT% Rebs RPG Asts APG Stls Blks Pts PPG 650 .476 .747 8,414 12.9 1,186 1.8 12 21 12,183 18.7 --
