New york is the largest city and the largest commercial port in the United States. It is not only the financial center of the United States, but also one of the financial centers in the world. New york is located at the mouth of the Hudson River in southeastern New York, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. It consists of five districts: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Richmond, covering an area of 780 square kilometers. The urban area has a population of more than 7 million, and the population of Greater new york, including suburbs, is 6.5438+0.8 million. New york is also the seat of the United Nations Headquarters, which is located on the east coast of Manhattan Island.
1524, the Italian Frazzano first came to the estuary area. 1609, the British explored the upper reaches of the Hudson River, which was named after him. 1626, the Dutch bought Manhattan Island from the Indians with small objects worth about 60 guilders (equivalent to 24 US dollars) and turned it into a trading post, which was called "New Amsterdam". 1664, the Duke of York, the younger brother of King charles ii of England, occupied this place and renamed it new york (new york, England has Yorkshire). New york was founded on 1686. During the War of Independence, new york was the headquarters of George Washington, the place where he became the first president of the United States, and the temporary capital of the United States at that time. The Erie Canal 1825 was opened to traffic, and later a railway was built to connect new york with the central and western regions, which promoted the great development of the city and gradually became an international metropolis integrating finance, trade, tourism, culture and art.
Manhattan is the smallest of the five districts, only 57.9 1 square kilometer, but this small island, which is narrow from east to west and long from north to south, is the center of new york, where big banks, big insurance companies, big industrial companies, big transportation companies and the world-famous new york Stock Exchange gather. More than one-third of the 500 largest companies in the United States are headquartered in Manhattan. Wall Street, located in the south of Manhattan Island, is the symbol of new york, the base camp of American monopoly capital and the synonym of financial oligarchy. The famous new york Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange are located here.
New york is also the center of American culture, art, music and publishing. There are many museums, art galleries, libraries, scientific research institutions and art centers. Three major American radio and television companies and some of the most influential newspapers have their headquarters here.
New york is also one of the industrial centers in the United States, with clothing, printing, cosmetics and other industries ranking first in the country, and machinery manufacturing, arms production, petroleum processing and food processing also occupy an important position. Most of the rivers in the city lead to the Atlantic Ocean, and the port is huge, well-equipped and not frozen all year round. New york is also an important hub of railway transportation. The length of the subway in new york is over 1000 km, which is the longest and fastest subway transportation system in the world. There are three international airports in new york, among which the famous Kennedy International Airport undertakes 50% of the national air transport business of import and export goods and 35% of the international passenger transport business.
New york is the region with the largest concentration of ethnic minorities in the United States. There are more than 6,543,800 blacks, mainly living in Harlem. The famous Chinatown has 1.5 million Chinese. There are also many Italians and Jews.

Team profile:
Looking back on the history of NBA, the new york Knicks, who joined the American Basketball Association (BAA, the predecessor of NBA) from 65438 to 0946, is undoubtedly a team with distinctive features and abundant talents. From walter frazier to Patrick Ewing, from Joe Reppucci to Pat Riley, the Knicks have contributed many handsome players and superstars to American basketball.
Coach Joe Reppucci was the founder of the Knicks in its first heyday. Since he entered the Knicks, the team's performance has been rising, and the regular season victory has increased from 26 games in 1947 to 40 games in 1949. Especially in the three seasons of 1950- 1953, he led the team to the NBA finals three times in a row. Although he failed to win the championship, Reppucci's teaching talent is obvious to all. A few years later, Joe Reppucci and dick mcguire from his team were elected to the American Basketball Hall of Fame. After three times, the team's performance began to decline. During the period of 1955- 1968, the Knicks won more than 50% in the regular season only once. However, the silent people of new york did not sink. In the middle and late 1960s, they successively recruited center willis reed and defender walter frazier to accumulate strength for their future comeback.
In the 1970s, the full-fledged Knicks finally took off. The Knicks, led by William Holzman of Jin Shuai and led by willis reed, defeated the Lakers twice in the finals with 1970 and 1973. Reid himself won the MVP of 1969-70 and 1970 and 1973. In this powerful team, the solid defense line built by Walter Fraser and Dave de Bouchere, as well as Earl Monroe's penetrating pass, are all important weights for new york to win the championship. They found their place in the future hall of fame.
With the fading out of stars such as Reid, the Knicks gradually moved away from the championship competition. Until the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the arrival of Patrick Ewing and gold medal coach Pat Riley, the Knicks really found the feeling of being a strong team. Riley is a famous NBA coach. When he coached the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s, he created a brilliant record of winning nine Pacific Division titles and four NBA Finals titles in nine years.
In the 1990s, the Bulls led by Michael Jordan always faced the Knicks with an insurmountable barrier. In the Eastern Conference playoffs, new york failed against the Bulls four times in a row. However, the tenacious Knicks were not discouraged. Repeated battles and defeats eventually overthrew Jordan's absent bull and broke into the NBA finals of 1993-94 season. Unfortunately, they were defeated by Houston Rockets 3-4 in the final.
After missing the championship again, the Knicks did not continue to write the glory of the 1950 s and 1970 s, but they did not fall out of the top teams in the East. Ewing's superstar role is undoubtedly an important factor for the Knicks to maintain a high winning rate in the regular season for several years.
2 1 century, amazing changes have taken place in new york Knicks. Veteran Ewing left the Knicks for 15 years and retired after moving to seattle supersonics and Orlando Magic. At 200 1, the exhausted Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy also resigned. At present, although the Knicks can be regarded as a strong soldier in Mazhuang, it is almost impossible to expect them to create their former glory again in the near future.
