I'm really strong in basketball

New York fans: Ten years!

Do you know how we got here in the past ten years?

So at this moment, even though Liu He just won Player of the Month, the New Yorkers were decorated with lights, gongs and drums, and the stars and stripes waving.
"Loyal New York welcomes its true king!"

“New York Wakes Up!”

"Sleeping New York finally wakes up!"

The New York media was full of praise for Liu He.

Stern, who is in New York, naturally feels this atmosphere. Since Liu He came to New York, the New York football market has been expanding at a crazy speed.

At this time, Stern once again thought about the results of this month's Player of the Month selection.

Looking at the list of winners, Stern couldn't help but have an idea: New York VS Los Angeles.

If it can really be realized, then the battle between the four major centers, the four major forwards, the four major shooting guards, and the black and white will all be weak.

That will definitely become an eternal classic in the NBA.

It's just that New York is too weak now.

Except for Liu He, they are really just a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled.

And the mess Isiah Thomas left for the Knicks is really bad. Even if West has done a good job, it will take at least two years for the Knicks' salary space explosion to be completely resolved.

In the past two years, the Knicks have been unable to recruit strong helpers for Liu He, so Liu He can only continue to fight alone.

Stern's idea of ​​a battle between Los Angeles and New York just wouldn't work.

At this moment, Stern hated Thomas.

no!Stern couldn't wait any longer.

Next summer, something must be done to get New York back on its feet as quickly as possible.

Time to enter October.

The Knicks ushered in their first battle in December, against the Grizzlies from Memphis.

In this game, the Grizzlies adopted the same tactics as the Pacers.

Use Sean Battier and James Posey to take turns taking care of Liu He.

In the last minute, 1:88, the Knicks were 94 points behind.

刘河今晚的状态不是很好，在两位侧翼防守悍将的照顾下，前面16投仅6中，三分球6中2，罚球5中5，目前只得到19分6篮板4助攻2抢断。

James Posey, who had just scored a key three-pointer for the Grizzlies and widened the point difference, even mocked in public: "What is the King of New York? If you are considered the king, then I am a god!"

Liu He glanced at Percy but didn't fight back.

If you don't play well, you deserve to be sprayed.

When you get beaten, you have to stand at attention.

However, Liu He's heart was already burning with rage.

At the same time, the system responded.

[It is detected that the host's team is behind in the last minute of the game, and the champion's heart badge will be activated]

[Dynamic talents are increased by 5% until the end of the game. 】

Nelson called a timeout and gathered all the players together, but instead of directly arranging tactics, Nelson glanced at Liu He.

He wanted to know Liu He's attitude.

Liu He understood and said firmly: "Give me the ball!"

Old Nelson nodded with satisfaction and immediately began to lay out tactics.

I think back then, Nelson's last disciple Nowitzki lacked such domineering power, which made Nelson somewhat unsatisfied.

Starting in 06, Nowitzki's nightmare came.

They were overturned by the Heat in the 06 Finals.

Won the MVP in 07, but was defeated by the Warriors in the first round.

At that time, Nowitzki's confidence suffered a heavy blow.

In the following years, there were situations where, at the last moment of the game, he would catch the ball in an open space and dare not shoot, but passed it to his teammates.

In those years, Nowitzki was really scolded.

Fans, players, coaches, and commentators all called him soft.

It can be seen that the player's character is also very important.

Like Kobe, even if he missed 100 shots before, he would not hesitate on his 101st shot.

Some people may call him iron or independent.

But Nelson feels that this is what a team boss should do.

Whether you make a shot or not is another matter. Whether you dare to make a shot or not is the most important thing.

The timeout ended and the main players from both sides returned to the court.

James Posey entangled Liu He immediately.

"Boy, I know that Old Nelson must let you take the last few shots. You can't hide anything from me. I will keep an eye on you, just like before! I've already locked you in!"

As Percy said this, he stretched out two fingers and pointed at his eyes.

I have to admit, Percy has a lot of skills.

This level of trash talk is at least much higher than that of Garnett, who only speaks dirty words and insults other people's families.

But Liu He is not that fragile. He has a strong psychology of rebirth, as well as the tempering of Payton, Malone, and Kobe, the three trash talk masters...

Liu He responded with a smile: "James, I mean...you know I'm going to shoot, but you still can't stop me. This feeling must be very desperate."

Percy was stunned for a moment and was about to fight back.

Liu He said first: "Don't worry, I will let you experience this despair right away!"

Even Percy was affected by Liu He's extreme self-confidence.

This damn rookie!

You've obviously been guarded by me for the whole game, why are you still so confident?
Do you really think you are Kobe Bryant?
Percy clenched his fists and felt fierce in his heart: We must guard against this damn guy!
As he spoke, Thomas had already served.

White Chocolate caught the ball and passed it to Pachulia at the top of the key.

Liu He ran out from the other side, relying on Thomas's screen, and passed to Pachulia hand-in-hand at the top of the arc.

The smart Pachulia used his body to block Gasol who wanted to defend, but he still couldn't stop Posey who was pursuing him.

However, because Pachulia occupied the front, Posey could only block the shot from the side.

Liu He leaned back slightly and opened up space to take action.

The basketball drew a long parabola and accurately penetrated into the basket.

Swish!
91: 94!

"nice shot!"

The New York fans at the scene waved their fists excitedly and looked forward to Liu He's next shot.

Liu He, who landed on the ground, looked at Percy, who had a helpless expression on his face: "James, try harder, and you almost stopped me!"

James Posey: "."

The Grizzlies attack.

New York fans spontaneously shouted in unison:
"Knicks, defend!"

"Defense, Knicks!"

"Knicks, defend!"

For the Grizzlies, Mike Miller advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Gasol at the free throw line.

Gasol made a feint, pretended to pass the ball, suddenly started, carried Thomas to the basket, and used his height advantage to shoot over Thomas' head.

At this moment, a figure came from the wing, leaped high, and slapped Gasol's shot onto the backboard.

boom!
Liu He.

Nail board big hat!

In an instant, New York fans stood up and raised their hands.

This is a very critical defense.

Thomas took advantage of the situation to grab the basketball and handed it directly to Liu He.

Liu He advanced to the frontcourt and made an emergency stop outside the three-point line.

Swish!
and also.

94: 94.

The two sides returned to the same starting line.

On the Knicks bench, veterans Payton and Malone stood up first, raising their hands in the air to signal the New York fans to be more enthusiastic.

"Knicks, defend!"

"Defense, Knicks!"

"Knicks, defend!"

The New York fans roared like a tsunami, putting tremendous pressure on the Grizzlies.

Once upon a time, Madison Square Garden was also one of the famous devil's home stadiums in the NBA. However, with the decline of the Knicks, picky New York fans became more and more disappointed. They even cheered for their opponent's stars at home and booed their own players.

But tonight, it all came back.

Now, New York fans only have eyes for their new king.

Liu He continued to keep an eye on Percy: "James, don't say I won't give you a chance, you have one last chance to stop me."

Percy was so irritated that his eyes turned red.

On the court, Gasol faced a more fierce confrontation from Thomas and failed to break into the penalty area. He stepped back and forced a jumper, which missed due to interference from Thomas.

Pachulia protected the rebound and held on tightly.

After the Grizzlies gave up the fight and turned back to defend, Pachulia handed the ball to Liu He.

Liu He glanced at the time. 15 seconds was completely enough.

Liu He advanced to the frontcourt unhurriedly.

Pachulia pulled out to cover Liu He.

Liu He directly extended his hand to refuse.

"Zaza, I'm going to hit him head-on!"

After hearing this, Pachulia quickly retreated.

Seeing this scene, the New York fans in the audience were so excited that they could not suppress their trembling.

Crazy, so crazy!
But New Yorkers just love it.

The crazier Liu He is, the more they love Liu He to their core.

The king of the largest city in the world must be crazy, of course. If he is not crazy, how can he be worthy of the title of King of New York?

As for James Posey, he felt that he had been underestimated by Liu He. The anger in his heart was burning, and he stared at Liu He fiercely.

The look in his eyes was not to defend Liu He at all, but to tear Liu He into pieces and then swallow them bit by bit before letting out a breath of bad breath.

Percy's appearance was truly amazing and intimidating.

Faced with such a defense, Liu He smiled, counting the time in his mind and chanting: "James, I'm going to take action, come on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu He feinted and then broke through.

"So fast!"

Percy was startled and subconsciously reached out to pull Liu He.

This was a foul, but if the referee didn't call it, it wasn't considered a foul.

With this illegal action, Percy entangled Liu He again.Liu He, on the other hand, took a step directly to the side to open up the space, pull up and shoot.

Posey then jumped up and tried to block the shot.

However, the basketball has already flown out.

At the same time toot toot!
The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

More than 2 people in the audience held their breath, staring intently at the basketball, streaking through the sky, and then getting into the basket.

Swish!
in!

94: 96!

Liu He beat the Grizzlies at the buzzer.

In the last minute, Liu He scored 1 points in a row and successfully slaughtered the Bear in Madison Square Garden.

In an instant, the entire arena exploded, and New York fans celebrated like crazy.

As for the Knicks bench, players and coaching staff rushed onto the court and danced around Liu He like crazy.

Gradually, the noisy voices gathered into one sentence.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

Liu He glanced at Percy one last time, then closed his eyes and fully enjoyed the worship of his courtier.

James Posey smiled bitterly, lowered his head, put his hands on his hips, and stared blankly at the floor of New York.

27分6篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Liu He beat his opponent at the buzzer.

This is Liu He's second buzzer-beater this season and the third buzzer-beater in Liu He's NBA career.

At this point, the Knicks have achieved an excellent record of 11 wins and 3 losses at the beginning of the season.

At the post-game press conference, Posey said: "I have used all the methods, but as you can see, I still can't stop him. In the NBA, there are some players who cannot be stopped. I think Liu River is one of them. He is already one of the most powerful scorers in the NBA. What makes me even more desperate is that he is only in his second year. I am thinking, are second-year Jordan and Bird as good as they are? I really haven’t seen what they looked like in the second grade, but I think they were just like that in the second grade.”

Percy praised Liu He highly.

But you think that's enough, and the New York media says it's not enough.

"The savior of New York, the new hope of New York, the King of New York!"

"Don't provoke him unless you're prepared to be humiliated like Percy."

"Michael Jordan? Larry Bird? Sorry, he is nobody. He is Liu He from New York!"

……

The media and fans in New York are almost like Liu He, they are extremely crazy.

I remember back then, in order to get Jordan to come and play in New York, they all humiliated him, cheered for Jordan at home, and even gave Jordan a blank check that he filled out casually.

But after tonight, even if Jordan comes back, New York fans will have to hesitate for three seconds.

At the Knicks’ post-game press conference, Liu He was asked by reporters:
"Liu, you have made two buzzer-beating shots this season. You are a player with a big heart. If you and Kobe are on the same team, who do you think is more suitable to take the last shot?"

Some time ago, there was a lot of fuss about Liu He and Kobe Bryant's scoring. The two largest cities in the United States were quarreling. This reporter obviously wanted to catch up on the traffic.

Liu He glanced at the reporter who wanted to make trouble and said slowly: "It depends on whether Kobe is willing to pass the ball to me."

The reporter asked: "What if he wants to?"

Liu He said without hesitation: "Of course it's me!"

"What if he doesn't want to?" the reporter asked again.

Liu He spread his hands and replied: "I can't even get the ball, so there's nothing I can do!"

reporter:"……"

The media reporters present laughed.

The joke about Kobe not passing the ball came from Liu He's mouth last year.

Suddenly, another smart reporter asked: "If you were holding the ball, would you be willing to pass it to Kobe?"

Liu He didn't even think about it: "Of course not!"

The reporter was dumbfounded and asked: "Why?"

Liu He looked at this smart guy like he was a fool: "I can make a shot, why should I pass the ball?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt Liu He's unparalleled confidence.

But the smart reporter didn't give up and asked, "What if you didn't make the shot?"

Liu He smiled: "Then next time, I will definitely enter!"

The subtext is that as long as I am here, I will never let anyone else perform the final shot.

Even if you fail the first hundred times, you will be confident enough to take action in the 1th time.

All the reporters in the audience were infected by Liu He's confidence...

But at this moment, Liu He added: "I think that guy Kobe thinks the same way."

The reporters present were thoughtful and nodded in agreement.

That night, Liu He's words reached Kobe's ears.

"This bastard, I knew he wouldn't pass the ball to me!"

Kobe cursed and then laughed.

Kobe also had to admit that Liu He knew him too well, and what he said was exactly what he thought.

This gave Kobe a feeling of confidant.

He and Liu He are the same type of players.

At the last moment, if Kobe had the ball, he would never pass it to Liu He.

That night, the Lakers met the Raptors. Marbury was in poor condition in this game. Kobe carried the team alone, scoring 48 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in three quarters. It only took three quarters to defeat the Raptors. Surrender.

At the post-game press conference, Kobe said to reporters with a proud look on his face: "Tell that guy, I also want to shoot the buzzer-beater, but my strength doesn't allow it, and my opponent can't survive until the last minute! What can I do?"

This time, reporters in Los Angeles didn’t have to guess who “that guy” was. Everyone knew.

When Liu He learned about Kobe's words, it was at the press conference before the Knicks and Magic games.

Liu He was speechless.

Kobe was too much in Versailles.

But Kobe is right, the Knicks are indeed weaker. Otherwise, why would they need to decide the winner at the last minute against a fringe playoff team like the Grizzlies?
In the final analysis, Liu He is not strong enough, so no one else is to blame.

Liu He decisively said to reporters who asked questions at the scene: "Let's change the topic! I want to talk about this topic in a few years!"

The reporter was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Liu He is also so fun and interesting.

The on-site host naturally wanted to cooperate with his own star, so he named the next reporter.

It happened to be CCTV reporter Su Qun in New York.

I have to say that the host also knows how to do things.

Su Qun is one of his own and cannot make things difficult for Liu He.

Sure enough, Su Qun changed the topic when he came up: "Liu He, the Magic selected Dwight Howard, the No. [-] pick this year. Howard is extremely talented and performed well at the beginning of the season. Some even said that Howard is very likely to Becoming the next O'Neal, what do you think?"

"There is no such possibility! There is not even the slightest possibility."

Liu He answered without hesitation.

Su Qun was stunned. He expected Liu He to object, but he didn't expect Liu He to object so fiercely.

"why?"

Su Qun asked.

Liu He glanced at Su Qun and did not answer directly, but said: "Teacher Su, you have to be careful. Shaq is a petty person. If he knew you insulted him like this, he would not let you go!"

The reporters at the scene were all smart people and immediately understood what Liu He meant.

Liu He believes that the statement that Howard will become the next O'Neal is an insult to O'Neal, and Howard does not deserve it.

In the future, Howard will make TD remarks, regardless of such bad behavior.Regardless of strength, honor, data, influence... Howard is not worthy of being compared with O'Neal, and the gap is huge.

Of course, Su Qun would definitely not be able to understand the thoughts of Liu He, a time traveler.

So Su Qun asked: "What if Howard reaches his peak? How will he win against O'Neal?"

Liu He thought for a while and asked instead: "Peak Howard? Is that opponent the current Shaq, or the peak Shaq?"

Su Qun continued: "How does O'Neal win or lose now?"

Liu He replied: "Howard will lose!"

Su Qun asked again: "O'Neal is at his peak, so what if he wins or loses?"

Liu He smiled: "Howard will die!"

Su Qun: "..."

Not only Su Qun, but all the reporters at the scene were dumbfounded.

will die?Is this an exaggeration?

But thinking about Mutombo in 01, it seems not impossible!
O'Neal's dominance is indeed terrifying!

It didn't take long for Liu He's words to spread.

When O'Neal heard Liu He's comments, he couldn't help but smile.

He looked at Wade aside and said: "Dwyane, have you seen that, although this guy Liu has only played with me for one year, no one knows me better than him."

Wade curled his lips, forced a smile and nodded.

But in his heart, Wade was sour.

It's like... he just got a girlfriend, and the two of them are inseparable.But suddenly one day, my girlfriend talked about her ex-boyfriend, her face was full of sweetness and nostalgia, and she said that no one was better than her ex-boyfriend.

How should Wade feel?

Although this girlfriend is O'Neal who weighs more than 300 pounds, Wade is also jealous!
Wade: Liu He, you broke up with O'Neal, and you still want to flirt with O'Neal from a distance. You are not a son of a man!

Just when Wade was thinking about it, O'Neal took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu He's number. The two of them talked on the phone for a long time.

Wade: ...

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are not happy.

On the Magic team, Howard exploded!

As the most talented fifth position after O'Neal, a talented monster who can easily kiss the basket, Howard's talent is not comparable to that of James, but it is definitely not much different.

Howard, who was new to the league, heard criticism from the outside world for the first time since he was drafted by the Magic, and it was so intense.

How could Howard, who has always had a giant heart, not be angry?
In the hotel, Howard smashed almost everything he could and finally calmed down with the comfort of his agent and coaching staff.

"Liu He, just wait! In tomorrow's game, I will let you know how powerful I am. O'Neal? Do you think I am not worthy of being O'Neal? I still look down on O'Neal. I, Dwight Howard, want to be better than O'Neal A better center man.”

The Magic management clearly saw Howard's thoughts, but they did not stop him.

This summer, they traded Grant Hilgazaza Pachulia for Alan Houston.

Facts have proved that the Magic lost money on this deal.

The Magic front office also became a laughing stock.

Of course, the Magic team management has always been a laughing stock, but the Magic team management itself does not have this awareness.

They felt that they had been cheated by the Knicks, and they also looked forward to revenge.

It's just that they forgot that this deal was proposed by them on their own initiative, with the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the Knicks.
