NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 111 It's my time ([-]-word chapter)
On May 1998, 5, the Jazz quietly reached the finals.

At 96:92, the Lakers were suppressed by the audience, and the fans in Los Angeles could only watch the Jazz cheer and celebrate in their home court.

The heat of this game was not high. After the Jazz got the match point, the series was over.

The Lakers lost again in the Battle of Honor, and were finally swept out 4:0, which did not surprise many people's expectations.

O'Neal shot 24 of 14 and scored 38 points, but this performance didn't help much. After all, a basketball game is for five people.

In contrast, most sports media pay more attention to the state of the Bulls.

Although they won G3, the Bulls' 11-of-2 outside performance is still worrying.

After entering the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls rarely even made more than [-]% of their shots from beyond the three-point line. Compared with the regular season, it even declined.

Being able to win mainly depends on defense and rebounding. As for offense, Pippen scored 3 of 16 in G5. Although he scored 16 points, his efficiency is really not high.

During the regular season, the Knicks limited their opponents to 89.1 points per game. G3 allowed the Bulls to score 90 points, showing that the defense is still working.

On the defensive end, the Knicks rank second among all teams in the league, even better than the Bulls. This point has not changed much in the playoffs, and there is no moisture.

On the morning of the 25th, Jeff Van Gundy took the Knicks to watch the game video in the hotel conference room.

There is no depression after the loss, and everyone is still very confident in the game.

尤因心情不佳，G3比赛，16中6，罚球8中5，拿到了17分10篮板2助攻2失误的数据。

According to the game plan, he failed to respond in the low post.

Facing the Bulls' defense, the Gorilla failed to digest the ball efficiently, and most of the points came from eating cakes and free throws.

Alan - Houston and Larry - Johnson scored 12 points and 10 points respectively.

Coupled with Oakley's 8 points, the Knicks' starting lineup played very stably, contributing 70 points together.

Although Chris Childs, Starks and Chris Mills on the bench did not play much time, they also scored.

In Jeff Van Gundy's view, if Li You shoots 3% from the field, the Knicks will have a high probability of winning in G[-].

The bald young coach is full of confidence in this. Even if the away game efficiency drops, as long as the opponent does not shoot a three-pointer, the Knicks still have a chance:

"We must stick to our defensive strategy and must protect the rebound!"

"40:44, if we get a few more rebounds, maybe by now we'll be popping champagne to celebrate the series victory."

Without talking about any tactics, Jeff Van Gundy stared at the rebounding data, and enthusiastically gave the Knicks a mental victory.

Although this excuse seemed pure nonsense to Li You, it revived everyone in the Knicks team
"That's right! We can't let the opponent grab another 15 offensive rebounds. Tomorrow night, we should end the series."

Ewing looked serious, and was the first to respond to Jeff Van Gundy's words. When Big Brother spoke, everyone began to encourage themselves.

Li You on the side twitched his mouth when he heard it. He didn't need such a nonsense reason, but at this time he also comforted himself with everyone.

In his mind, the Knicks had 83 possessions and 13 turnovers, and the Bulls' defense wasn't that successful either.

If you want to win, keep the rhythm of the game and improve your shooting percentage!
Alan Houston's main defense against Michael Jordan was also relatively calm at this time. After finishing the video lesson, he couldn't help complaining:

"Mike won't really recover his touch! I always feel that after two days of rest, the other party has returned to the calm state it used to be."

Seeing the bitter face of Alan Houston began to feel unconfident again, Li You sent chicken soup for his soul:
"I never believed that players who were mediocre in the regular season would break out in the high-intensity playoffs."

"Even if the opponent is Michael Jordan, the Pacers can prevent him from shooting less than [-]%, and we can do the same."

"The Bulls are under pressure, they can't afford to lose!"

Nodding subconsciously, Li You is indeed not talking nonsense, and Alan Houston has also read the data, and now he feels a lot more at ease:
"Let's hope so, we are in better shape!"

"."

On May 5th, at 25 o'clock that night, G20 of the Eastern Conference Finals will officially start.

After the Bulls moved back to Yicheng, most of the major sports media chose to wait quietly.

The calm before the storm, if the Bulls continue to win and the series returns to 2:2, it's over!
Once the Knicks get the match point, pop the champagne and no longer have to worry about hot news during the offseason.

Before 20:23000, the United Center arena was full, and more than [-] tickets had already been sold out.

Bulls fans want to see the team complete the second three consecutive championships, and buying tickets to watch the game is their greatest support!

In the commentary seat of NBC, Bob Costas felt the warm atmosphere of the scene, and he was constantly poisoning the Bulls:
"With two days off, we can see that Michael Jordan has returned to his usual calm state!"

"The familiar Mike is back. Maybe this season is very difficult for the Bulls, but as long as they win this game, the series will return to the same starting line."

As a guest commentator, Doug Collins also did his homework before the game, and gave his point of view with a smile:

"The Knicks have gone through 10 games so far in the playoffs. Lee's field goal percentage is as high as 50.3%. This is an extremely terrifying performance!"

"In 10 playoff games, the three-point shooting percentage reached an exaggerated 49.9%!"

"I believe that Lee will rebound strongly tonight. Everyone underestimates him. With 63 wins, he is the first in the league. The Knicks are already a better team."

Hearing this data, Jim Gray on the side was startled:
"God! I almost thought I heard it wrong. It's unbelievable. Maybe after this year's playoffs, everyone should get to know Li again!"

When the familiar "Sirius" of Chicago fans sounded again at the United Center, the cheers grew louder.

Wearing a home white training uniform, Michael Jordan appeared on the stage with a calm expression, and simply high-fived his teammates.

From the beginning of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Mikou was a little angry. He never expected to play the tiebreaker with the Pacers, and he never regarded the Knicks as a real opponent.

After losing two games in a row, the anger completely dissipated, and Michael Jordan also realized that this is not the Bulls in 96, they are not so dominant.

If you want to win, you have to work hard.
Everyone in the Knicks team who had finished playing was moving their bodies, and Li You also looked calm.

There is no need for mental victory to hang up, he believes in his physical state more!
By the 4th game in the series, the two sides have been thoroughly familiar with each other's style of play.

Phil Jackson didn't play tricks either. In key games, he used a game strategy that all coaches would use - smashing the main force!
From the first quarter of the game, the two sides entered into a hand-to-hand battle similar to last year.
Due to a loss in the last game, after the start, the Knicks no longer used partial 2-on-2 tactics. Instead, Li You looked for Alan Houston first.

Continuous screens, running without the ball, catching and shooting, and as a result, under the tough defense of Midu, Alan Houston started the game consecutively.

Fortunately, Oakley and Larry Johnson are in good shape, and Ewing is also helping the Knicks score points in the low post.

The Bulls' offense was also strong, and the score rose slowly, which stimulated the fans on the scene to keep screaming.

In the first few minutes of the game, as soon as Michael Jordan caught the ball at the elbow, he was immediately double-teamed by the Knicks' upline defender.

At 1 minutes and 5 seconds into the first quarter, Michael Jordan hit Alan Houston's defense for the second time in the right block position and hit a difficult fadeaway jumper.

"Wow!"

At 11:11, seeing Mikou complete another sports goal, the biggest cheers erupted in the United Center arena after the opening.

Alan Houston didn't care, the stronger the opponent, the more confident he was, clapping his hands to encourage himself, the Knicks quickly served the baseline.

The Bulls' starters tonight are still Kukchi and Longley, and Rodman has just come off the bench at this time.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The hoarse defensive cheers resounded through the arena, and after the opening, the Bulls fans were uneasy.

Harper still acted as a pendant, leading the defense of Li You after the opening.

Compared to playing in an away game, the veteran continued the defensive intensity of the previous game at this time, with constant hand movements, pulling and kicking a series of small tricks.
Li You, who holds the ball in his right hand, pushes away the opponent's hand movements with his ball protector, and accelerates with all his strength while holding the ball.

Immediately after the emergency stop, he dribbled the ball behind his back. After switching to his left hand, he quickly changed direction with his crotch. After pressing his shoulders, Li You rushed across the center line against the defense.

After the opening, Li You stopped and started constantly, and Harper's small movements had limited effect. Most of the time, the veteran could only slide desperately.

Li You's advancing speed was very fast. When the two came to the right flank, the Bulls had just completed their defensive matchup.

Noticing Li You waving, everyone on the Knicks pulled away one by one, Alan Houston was in charge of supporting, and the other three players who were the main attackers at the beginning of the game were ready to rush for rebounds.

Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, pouted to protect the ball, while Harper on his side continued to fight.

After exploding the ball on the spot, Li You shook his shoulders back, then grabbed the ball again with his right hand, pretending to make a big breakthrough and suddenly stopped suddenly.

Taking advantage of Harper's sliding step to the left and back, Li You dribbled the ball under the crotch after shaking the space in front of the frame. When he switched to the left hand, he paused slightly, then increased the dribbling strength and quickly dribbled.

Harper, who slid forward again, was about to interfere, but Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, blew the ball vigorously again. With the help of the strength of the rebound of the basketball, he took advantage of the situation to complete a horizontal retreat, and made a quick jump shot from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

At 14:11, the Knicks took the lead again, and there were boos in the arena for a while.

Just as the Bulls' defensive strength dropped, Li You seized the opportunity and scored.

Harper reluctantly raised his hand to indicate that he was careless and did not block the shot in time.

In such a game, the opponent throws a three-pointer suddenly, which hurts morale.
Fortunately, tonight, Pippen finally ate dumplings outside the three-point line. The Bulls attacked, and Mike was double-teamed at the right elbow.

Quickly returned the ball to Pippen at the top of the arc, and Larry Johnson didn't return to the defense quickly, watching the opponent make an open three-pointer!
"Scottie Pippen responds from beyond the arc again! Looks like he shot really well tonight!"

Bob Costas immediately praised Pippen's performance. He was 3-for-3 from beyond the three-point line and played well on both offense and defense tonight.

At 14:14, the two sides fell into a position to attack, Li You missed a breakthrough, Pippen cut into the iron, and the score remained unchanged for more than a minute.

The Bulls attacked, approaching 24 seconds, and Midu, who ran back and forth, missed the ball this time.

After Pippen scored the ball, Harper had to feint outside the three-point line, took a step, and a two-point catch-up jumper came from the right wing.

"state!"

The long rebound popped out, just in time for Li You to receive it, holding the ball in his left hand, and accelerated along the left sideline.

Harper just caught up to Li You's side. Before he could cut the ball, he was suddenly swayed by the ball from behind. He subconsciously quickened his pace and chose to stick to the defense.

With his left hand catching the ball again, Li You got rid of the defense in an instant, and quickly rushed to the left flank along the left sideline.

Everyone in the Bulls quickly retreated, and Li You started to slow down when he was close to the three-point line. Harper, who was chasing quickly, came to him again, lowered his body center of gravity, and prepared to delay the start.

Noticing that the opponent moved his footsteps, Li You quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, and the moment he switched to his right hand, he circled the ball behind his back substantially, and at the same time exerted force with his feet to complete the retreat.

Harper hadn't had time to stick to the defense, and was shaken a step away, watching Li You quickly close the ball and shoot a jumper from the left wing!

"Shua!" Converted a three-point hollow into the net!
"Wow! Like I said, Lee is going to bounce back, he's changing the game with his shooting!"

Doug Collins in the commentary seat praised Li You's offense loudly, but such an offensive choice, in the eyes of the two people around him, was nothing but foolishness.
Michael Jordan's face was a little ugly. He had just retreated to halftime, and he didn't encounter many such situations in his previous playoff experience.

At 17:14, the Knicks took another three-point lead.

With 1 minutes and 2 seconds left in the first quarter, Li You glanced at the time, retreated quickly, and high-fived his teammates in celebration.

This kind of transition attack, Ewing and Oakley did not run to the frontcourt, the two kept clapping in the interior, directing everyone to get into position.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, Kukchi and Maikou hit shots one after another.

But as Oakley scrambled for an offensive rebound, Li You swayed Harper away from the left corner, hit a three-pointer in the second attack, and the Knicks still took the lead.

At 20:18, the United Center Arena suddenly became a little quiet.

Played the entire first quarter, scored 8 of 3 dunks, 2 of 1 free throws, scored 7 points, Pippen made 4 of 3, 3 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, scored 9 points, Kukci scored 4 of 1, contributed 2 point.

Everyone in the Bulls looked serious, and Mikou didn't make a sound, just took a deep breath hard, trying to restore his physical fitness.

Seeing this situation, Phil Jackson felt a little anxious, but on the surface he remained calm and carried out the rotation step by step.

同样打满首节比赛，李佑5中3，三分线外3中3，9分2篮板2助攻。

Thanks to the three-pointer, his scoring speed is fast, coupled with his good physical condition, it also makes Li You more confident:
"John, let go of the offense and try to get more points at this time!"

When Starks arrived at the away game, he became very cautious. Li You gave out chicken soup, but only nodded slightly.

The increasingly noisy scene forced Jeff Van Gundy to raise his volume and loudly told the players who were about to enter the field:

"Pay attention to mistakes and don't give the opponent a chance to score easily. If necessary, you can directly foul!"

"We need to play tough, mark my words, don't let the opponent score easily!"

The bald young marshal saw the opportunity and wished he could punch Mai twice in person.

The Knicks also have a lot of defensive play.
The Bulls, who were fighting the main force, just let Michael Jordan take a break, and Pippen, Rodman, and Longley appeared directly.

Kerr and Scott Burrell partnered in the backcourt, and the rotation lasted just 2:32 before Michael Jordan was substituted.

The Knicks also switched to the main lineup, and the two sides had a good understanding. In the second quarter of the game, they suddenly strengthened their defense.

Ewing successfully received Li You's through ball at the bottom left of the basket, and just turned around, trying to catch Langley, Rodman rushed up and hung on the gorilla to complete the block.

Although the ball was not blocked, the collision defense still made Ewing's basket knock out of the frame.

Jeff Van Gundy complained loudly to the referees, but didn't get the feedback he wanted.

The Knicks, who retreated quickly, were not polite on the defensive end. They made a rare semi-conversion attack, and the right wing dunked the ball and went straight to the inside.

It's just that in the paint area just now, Oakley jumped up to block the block while pulling with his right hand concealedly, and while pressing down with his left hand, he came up with a double-playing trick.
Excellent core strength finally protected Mikou, Oakley's pull didn't do much, and Mikou even had time to tilt his head in the air, and finally grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and threw the ball to the basket.

"squeak!"

The whistle blew, and finally the basketball bounced twice or knocked out of the basket.

"Shhh!!"

Seeing that Michael almost fell to the ground, the Bulls fans at the scene were also very angry, and immediately booed loudly.

"Shet! You want to poke my eyes out?!"

Michael Jordan was a little annoyed by his friend's bad defensive actions. He asked loudly after landing, but Oakley didn't care. Instead, he choked and said:
"Get to the hoop! I'll fuck you on the floor!"

The two fought under the basket and were finally separated by the referee. After finishing the defense, Li You gave the old guy a thumbs up.

After calming down his emotions, Michael Jordan made two free throws with a straight face.

At 26:25, with 7 minutes and 51 seconds left in the half, the Bulls narrowed the gap again.

It turns out that bad defensive actions can indeed act as a deterrent. At least Pippen's offense of cutting to the basket began to decrease.
Li You did not reduce his breakthrough. In this attack, the Knicks had no chance after a round of transmission. The left elbow of the free throw line received Ewing's hand-off pass and immediately cut to the basket from the free throw line.

Just after getting rid of Harper, when he came to the paint area, he was blocked by Rodman's lateral collision.
"squeak!"

Although a foul was whistled, Li You did not have time to complete the shooting action, and made a shooting gesture, but the referee signaled for a sideline ball.

Seeing Rodman's triumphant appearance, Bob Costas was very excited, and then raised his voice and said:

"The rhythm of the game seems to be back to the Bulls, and the defending champions showed tough defense!"

As soon as the words fell, Li You, who took the kick from the sideline, suddenly threw the ball to the upper right of the basket. Ewing jumped up to catch the ball and put the ball into the basket easily.

The sneak attack was successful, and the gorilla roared again, beating its chest angrily, to cheer itself up.

Doug Collins, who was on the commentary seat, also cheered up Li You at this time:

"That's Lee's style of play. He can always find the chance to score or assist a teammate to score."

"Seeing is also a talent!"

Pippen, who performed well outside the three-point line in the first quarter, seemed to have completely regained his confidence, and Maidu was double-teamed again at the right elbow.

Quickly toss the ball to Pippen near the left wing, who catches it for an open jumper.

The rebound was caught by Ewing, and then he slammed the ball vigorously. The basketball quickly flew to the left flank. Just after half-court, Li You received the ball with his left hand and released the ball, continuing to accelerate towards the three-point line.

Harper, who retreated quickly, continued to give physical confrontation. On the other side, Alan Houston and Larry Johnson also rushed through the half.

The whole game was 3 on 3, and the left wing was close to the three-point line. Li You turned around and slowed down, pretending to observe the position of his teammates, and then suddenly went in and out in a large way.

Swaying from right to left, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, pretending to break through, and Harper subconsciously slid back to the right.

Li You took advantage of the trend to pull back under the crotch, returned to the three-point line, converted the three-pointer and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

The Bulls fans at the scene began to boo incompetently, and Harper was completely helpless. He just observed the situation on the court, and lost his position again without paying attention.

Putting up three fingers on his left hand, Li You, who retreated quickly, jumped up and down, plugged in, and continued to play X.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines loudly reminded his players to keep their defensive attention, and at the same time made tactical gestures, signaling to slow down the pace of the game.

Once again dragging the game into hand-to-hand combat, Michael Jordan began to post up the ball in a deeper position to complete the attack.

After Li You tried to speed up and failed, the Knicks also began to score piecemeal.

Alan Houston has just used Ewing's cover, the left block position, and a jumper after receiving the ball.

Looking back, Michael Jordan was on the right side near the baseline, and after receiving the ball, he turned over and responded with a fadeaway jumper.

The Knicks' attack time was approaching 24 seconds. They pretended to go to the right elbow to receive a hand-off pass from Ewing. In the right block, Li You suddenly ran back and went straight to the basket.

After receiving the pass from the gorilla, Li You threw the ball to the backboard, and the basketball fell into the basket after hitting the backboard high.

Alan-Houston and Li You kept slipping the bottom line, and most of the rounds were false. After all, the Knicks' big men had average passing ability, but Harper and Mike Kou didn't dare to be careless, so they could only toss back and forth.

In the second half of the second quarter, he failed to speed up, and Li You took over the pot and increased his jump shots.

The two sides began to strike iron frequently again, and at the last moment, it started to rain.

The scoring efficiency was not high, which made the Bulls fans on the scene more nervous.

"Shh!"

Amidst the huge boos, the halftime game ended, the score was fixed at 39:38, and the Knicks still maintained a weak lead.

Michael Jordan walked towards the player tunnel with a blank expression, and everyone in the Bulls followed closely behind with serious expressions.

On the other side, with a smile on his face, Li You bumped fists with the atmosphere team, and then he and his teammates returned to the locker room slowly.

The mentality of the players on both sides is different. The Bulls can't lose again, and the Knicks can't afford to fight a battle of Tianwangshan. Anyway, G5 is still in Madison Square Garden. No matter how you think about it, they have an advantage.

“半场比赛14中6，迈扣拿到16分，皮蓬10中6，三分线外6中4，同样也有16分入账。”

"Both played really well, but the Bulls' role players were completely off the mark tonight."

Jim Gray in the commentary was almost speechless when he saw the statistics of the Bulls. Most of the points were concentrated on the two.

Doug Collins had discovered this phenomenon a long time ago, and at this time he began to praise Li You's performance:

"10 of 5, 6 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, 2 of 2 free throws, 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. As I said before the game, Lee can always find scoring opportunities."

"The Knicks withstood the Bulls' counterattack, and I believe they have found the key to victory."

The three people in the commentary booth expressed their opinions, and the common view is that the defensive strength of both sides will not decline.

After a short halftime break, entering the second half of the game, the Bulls still maintained their high-intensity defense without chicken soup.

The same is true for the Knicks. After the start of the third quarter, the two sides fought each other again.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

After Michael Jordan missed a low left fadeaway jumper, there was a huge defensive cheer on the scene immediately.

Ewing struggled to protect the backcourt rebound, and after the Bulls' delay, he gave the ball to Li You who responded.

Still speeding up to cross the half court with all his strength, Li You crossed the halfway line after a few sudden stops and starts.

Rodman, who started in the second half, noticed the late Ewing, and instead of retreating to the basket, he prepared to switch to delay.

In the high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Ewing stood outside the three-point line after rushing through half court.

Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, quickly circled the ball behind his back. The moment he switched to his left hand, he noticed that Rodman had delayed coming up. Before the two formed a double-team, he quickly gave the ball to Larry Johnson on the left wing.

Then Ewing went down, Li You moved without the ball, and once again handed over with "Aunt" outside the three-point line.

At this time, Pippen cooperated with Harper to double-team, Li You attracted the two to defend, and then returned the ball to Larry Johnson who moved to the top of the arc.

With no defense in front of him, Larry Johnson took a look after receiving the ball and made an open three-point jumper.

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

Suddenly cast a cold arrow, seeing "Auntie" can also throw a three-pointer, everyone in the Bulls looked ugly.

Just as the Knicks double-teamed Michael Jordan and emptied Pippen, the Bulls' big delays will also pay a price. Li You can always find his teammates in time.

Under the high-intensity defense, the game turned into a patient competition again. Michael Jordan only played half a quarter before hitting the first sports goal of this quarter in the left block.

Alan Houston became more active in defense, and his good physical condition ensured his defensive strength.

Chasing and defending hard, trying to interfere, as for whether Mikou can hit the shot, it is not up to him to decide.

After playing most of the game, the two sides scored piecemeal, and each scored 11 points.

The Bulls fans at the scene couldn't hold back anymore. Seeing Li You catch the ball and push forward again, they booed everywhere.

After the timeout, Cole replaced Harper, who was banging on the iron. Although he scored zero in the first half, Phil Jackson still trusted Cole.

Li You, who had been working hard in the previous few offenses, saw that Cole was defending him. He waved his hand before halftime, and soon the Knicks opened the halftime.

Not paying attention to the movement behind him, Cole just stuck to Li You's side.

With the ball in his right hand, he pushed forward quickly, dribbled across the half court, and came to the right flank. Li You protected the ball sideways.

Approaching the three-point line, Kerr noticed that the Knicks pulled away one by one. The defensive end had just been distracted. Li You, who had been sideways protecting the ball, blew up the ball on the spot, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and quickly turned around.

Cole hurriedly swiped to the right, and Li You took advantage of the situation to complete the early change of direction, and the basketball stuck into the opponent's fingertips and came to his right hand.

Realizing that he was out of position defensively, Cole quickly adjusted his center of gravity, slid again, and landed on Li You's side.

Grabbing the ball with his right hand, Li You first pretended to make a breakthrough, took advantage of Cole's hand to stick to the defense, and just dribbled past the three-point line, suddenly exerted force on his feet, quickly retreated, briefly shook off the defense, quickly combined the ball outside the three-point line, and then lifted the ball Just throw it!

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

"Beautiful goal! Maybe the Bulls shouldn't make substitutions at this time. Cole seems to have not adapted to the defensive intensity on the field!"

Doug Collins was completely excited at this time, and Li You once again seized the opportunity to help the Knicks break the deadlock.

Fortunately, for the Bulls, Pippen completely found his touch from outside the three-point line tonight, received another pass from Midu, and responded from outside the three-point line.

Ewing was desperately stuck, and received a through ball under the basket, which caused Rodman's foul, and helped the Knicks score points with free throws.

Michael Jordan received the ball from the left block position, and after a tentative step facing the frame, he put the ball with his left hand and crossed to the basket, which also caused Oakley's hand-holding foul.

Hitting the iron and 1 point rain went online again, until the end of the third quarter, when Pippen missed a three-pointer, Li You got a long rebound again, and then rushed with the ball.

The retreat speed of the rest of the Bulls dropped significantly. Only Cole chased desperately. The two entangled and came to the paint.

After turning around and staggering the defense, Li You came to the bottom left of the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and successfully picked the basket with his right hand!

"God! Lee's speed shows no signs of weakening, and Cole is already trying to retreat!"

Seeing that Li You was still able to sprint at full speed at this time, Bob Costas sighed subconsciously.

At the end of the third quarter, coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines frowned, and the Bulls' role players still scored piecemeal.
At 61:60, the two sides once again tied in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Knicks still lead.

Looking at the score on the field, the noise in the United Center Arena is getting louder and louder. Once they lose, it means that the Knicks have won the match point.

Thinking of being behind 1:3, the Bulls fans at the scene could only cheer for the home team loudly.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The main lineup was still on the field. Seeing the hope of winning, Jeff Van Gundy did not make substitutions, while the Bulls on the opposite side only took Longley temporarily.

After half a quarter of the game, Harper led the defense again. Li You held the ball in his left hand and quickly dribbled across the half.

After dribbling past the center line, Li You immediately stopped, changed direction with his crotch, and switched to his right hand. At the same time, Ewing went outside the three-point line again to perform a high pick-and-roll.

In order to squeeze past the cover, Harper chose to stick to the defense immediately, trying to cover Li You with his body.

After dribbling the ball behind the back twice in a row, Li You pretended to break through on the right side while catching the ball again with his right hand.

Successfully squeezed through the cover, Harper pulled with his right hand concealedly, but Li You suddenly turned sharply, and the moment he switched to his left hand, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough from Ewing's left side.

Getting rid of Harper, facing Longley, who was quickly delaying the defense, Li You suddenly went in and out by a large margin during the march, pretended to break through, exerted force on his feet, took advantage of the situation, and did not give the opponent a defensive reaction. Li You made a quick jump shot from the top of the arc. !
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

The arena in the United Center was suddenly quiet, and then there was a huge booing, and Langley stood still, his eyes were staring, how to prevent this?
At 64:60, the point difference came to 4 points, and everyone on the Bulls' bench fell silent.

The atmosphere team of the Knicks shouted happily on the bench at this time, victory is in sight.

As the game progressed, Li Youcai increased his three-point shots. He was keenly aware that the Bulls were unable to move forward. The previous three-pointers were shot hard, and the opponent failed to complete the conversion attack.

"Concentrate! Protect the rebound!"

Jeff Van Gundy yelped with excitement and nearly rushed to the court.

Michael Jordan received the ball from the block on the right side, took a big step towards the baseline, and made a drifting fadeaway jumper.

After Pippen sent the pass, Larry Johnson wanted to cooperate with Alan Houston to double-team Midu. Unfortunately, the opponent was too deep and too fast, and the defense failed again.
Shouting and roaring, Michael Jordan clapped his hands and loudly signaled his teammates to hold a round.

Pippen, who ate dumplings in the first three quarters, hit the iron outside the three-point line, and then stopped shooting, but strengthened his breakthrough.

The rain of one point for the Jagged Bulls hit again. Everyone crowded towards the basket. The scene became extremely ugly, but the referee kept blowing his whistle.

Seeing Rodman's second tip-in, which caused Oakley's foul, Jeff Van Gundy complained loudly:
"This is just a common foul, he didn't shoot at all, why did he take a free throw?!"

With a lot of playing time, both sides began to lose rebounds, and free throws are especially important at this time.

Oakley was very displeased, being fouled continuously, the old guy was so angry that he pushed Rodman viciously, the man fell down in response, and then complained like a referee:
"Hey! It's definitely a technical foul!"

Fortunately, the referee saw it clearly, and after a verbal warning, he signaled Rodman to make a free throw.

At the critical moment, Rodman made two free throws. With 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game, 72:72, the Bulls just tied the score with steady free throws.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The fans shouted excitedly, and everyone saw the hope of victory again.

At this time, the referee's loose whistleblowing scale allowed the Bulls' defensive strength to increase again.

Li You dribbled through halftime, but Harper continued to attack. The two pushed and shoved outside the three-point line. The referee seemed to be blind, despite Jeff Van Gundy complaining loudly.

Fans in the front row have stood up, breathing out their mouths, trying to interfere with the Knicks' offense.

Kukchi, who replaced him, kept pulling Ewing like Rodman, and the two defended tacitly. Once the gorilla moved forward to cover, Rodman immediately changed positions.

Without a pick-and-roll, Li You pouted to protect the ball and came to the left flank, and the Knicks cleared the side again.

Holding the ball in his left hand and slightly raising his body's center of gravity, Li You suddenly leaned forward to accelerate, taking advantage of Harper to slide back to the right and quickly dribble behind his back.

The moment he switched to his right hand, Li You pretended to break through, and when the opponent came up to defend, he dribbled the ball with his hips again.

Harper was attacked to support his feet in front of the defense, forcibly changing the center of gravity of his body, and was directly shaken by his right hand to support the ground, almost throwing himself on the street
Li You didn't give the opponent another chance to defend himself, so he accelerated his body and changed direction. Just as Harper was about to straighten up, he fell to the street completely. His body and mind clashed, and he sat down on the floor.

"Oh!!"

The Bulls fans at the scene subconsciously exclaimed, and grabbed the ball with his right hand. Li You completely got rid of the defense and came to the left block position.

"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance!

"God! It's wonderful. Li Huang knocked Harper down and helped the Knicks take the lead again!"

Bob Costas yelled excitedly and shouted God several times in a row.

Harper who stood up was blown away, and stared viciously at Li You who shook his head and retreated.

At the critical moment, Michael Jordan once again caught the ball with his back in the low post on the right, his shoulders shook when he caught the ball, and then quickly turned towards the baseline, and quickly made a fadeaway jumper against the defense!
"Shua!" The mid-range hit again.

Alan Houston and Larry Johnson looked at each other helplessly. The speed of the action was too late for double-teaming.
Harper, with an explosive mentality, chased and defended Li You's up-line crosscut. When he saw Li You receiving the ball on the right wing, he immediately drifted a jumper and subconsciously jumped up to defend.

Li You's shot was extremely fast, and Harper, who was defending from the side, missed the ball and directly threw Li You to the ground.
The two fell to the ground at the same time, and the referee finally blew his whistle and gave three free throws.

"Hey! Hey! Calm down! Don't foul easily!"

Phil Jackson on the sidelines was a little annoyed and reminded Harper loudly.

"Fake! Next time I will still score here, welcome to continue to send points for fouls!"

Li You stood up and pushed Harper away. Even after hearing what the head coach said, the old guy couldn't hold back anymore:

"Be respectful, boy"

Just halfway through the conversation, they were surrounded by the Knicks. After Rodman and Pippen rushed in, the two sides began to push and push.

The hurried whistle sounded continuously, and the Bulls fans on the scene also kept shouting and cursing.

When Li You stood at the free throw line, he slowed down for a full minute, took the basketball with a smile, and made three free throws steadily.

"Shet!"

Realizing that he had been duped, Harper cursed angrily. The fierce defense was still effective, but the pushing and shoving made Li You breathe a sigh of relief.
77:74，全场比赛还剩1分28秒，尼克斯队又领先了3分。

At this time, Ewing kept loudly reminding his teammates to match up in time, and the victory was so close that the gorilla was very excited.

After Pippen dribbled through half court, the Bulls first patiently passed the ball on the outside. When Harper came to the left wing to receive the ball, Michael Jordan also quickly slipped across the baseline from right to left.

Li You knew without thinking that Harper would definitely send the pass, so he consciously took a step back the moment Mikou got in.

A half-lob pass, Michael Jordan catches the ball, and Li You pounces directly on it, but Maidu reacts faster. After releasing the ball with his right hand, he only dribbles one step, and then suddenly turns around quickly.

The huge range of motion allowed Michael Jordan to get rid of Alan Houston's defense in an instant. At the bottom left of the basket, his left hand was about to put the basket, but Ewing, who was helping to defend, blocked his head and face with a big block.

"squeak!"

The referee blew his whistle, Michael Jordan covered his face, and Ewing simply raised his hand to signal a foul.

In the commentary booth, Jim Gray saw blood coming from the corner of Michael Jordan's right eye, and immediately let out a low voice:
"Oh my god!"

"It seems that Mike needs to be treated, Patrick Ewing's foul is too fierce!"

Phil Jackson chased the referee and complained loudly, wanting to get an extra free throw, while Jeff Van Gundy yelled that it was just an accident.
The game was forced to suspend. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, Mikoo was cut in the corner of his left eye. Coupled with this injury, it was completely symmetrical.

At the last moment, when players from both sides broke through to the basket, they had to take a hit. Michael Jordan was particularly resistant to the beating. After a simple hemostasis, he returned to the court and made two free throws steadily.

At 77:76, with 1 minute and 08 seconds left in the game, Michael Jordan was still very calm and called his teammates to pay attention to defense.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The Bulls fans at the scene shouted wildly, one point difference, they still have a chance to win the game.

Harper didn't dare to foul easily at this time, he just covered Li You with his body, and continued to fight with his body.

On the left flank outside the three-point line, Li You sideways protected the ball to press the time, and the Bulls did not choose to double-team, and Midu loudly reminded his teammates to pay attention to the rebound.

With 12 seconds left in the attack time, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, blew up the ball on the spot, leaned forward and accelerated, taking advantage of Harper's sliding step to the rear right, and instantly completed the change of direction under the crotch.

When switching to the right hand, Li You immediately lowered his shoulders and accelerated, facing Harper's defense straight into the inside.

Cutting in at 45 degrees from the left, the two entangled and came to the left block position, stuck half of the body, Li You noticed that Rodman's defense was in place, and immediately turned around on the go.

While merging the ball, he switched to his left hand. Li You tilted his body, dodged Harper's block, and threw the ball to the backboard with his left hand!

At the moment of the shot, the basket was already packed with players from both teams.

The basketball was hit high on the backboard, and when it fell off the rim, the United Center Arena fell silent for a moment, knocked twice on the rim, and finally fell out of the rim.
"Wow!!"

The Bulls fans at the scene cheered loudly. Under the basket, everyone has already scrambled into a ball.

It was also unclear whose arm touched the basketball, and the Bulls fans at the scene could only see that the ball could not fall down in the air.

At the critical moment, Ewing's height played a role. He saw the timing, grabbed the rebound, carried the defense, and was about to send the ball into the basket.

Michael Jordan jumped up high, hit a big cap hard, and hit Ewing staggeringly.
"squeak!"

The referee blew his whistle as soon as the ball was blocked. Michael Jordan stood by the paint without saying a word, waiting for Ewing to make a free throw.

The lesson learned is that no one on the Bulls complained, stood up quickly, and waited for the gorilla to make a free throw.

Li You flicked his left hand in frustration, and Ewing, who was stunned by the beating, tried hard to adjust his breathing, stood on the free throw line, took the basketball, and took aim for a while before completing the free throw.

"state!"

The first free throw was struck, and the United Center Arena was boiling instantly. The Bulls fans screamed excitedly.

At 78:76, Phil Jackson immediately asked for a timeout. With 38 seconds left in the game, the three people in the NBC commentary booth let out a sigh of relief at the same time:

"Exciting game, both sides still have chances, the Bulls will definitely give the ball to McDunner!"

"The Knicks defend this round and they will get the match point!"

Bob Costas subconsciously raised the volume, looking particularly excited.

The timeout allowed both parties to take a breath, and Jeff Van Gundy didn't say much, and kept sending thick chicken soup:
"We only need to persist for another 38 seconds, and we will get the match point and enter the finals!"

"Hold on! Protect the rebound!"

Ewing and Oakley were both gasping for breath at this moment, and the atmosphere on the bench was too nervous to make a sound.

Ben Wallace experienced such a game for the first time, covered his mouth with a towel, hugged Ben Davis on the side, watched the timer and prayed silently.

Players from both sides returned to the field, and the United Center Arena was completely boiling at this time.

At the decisive moment, the Bulls fans cheered loudly, and everyone believed that Michael Jordan would lead the team to victory.

Pippen quickly kicked out the sideline ball, and after Harper received the ball, Li You immediately put on defense.

Michael Jordan quickly slipped across the bottom line from left to right, near the bottom line on the right, and quickly bounced out to the right flank with the help of Kukci's cover.

Harper sent a cross pass, and then quickly ran to the left corner, Michael Jordan received the ball, and the Bulls all pulled away, leaving only Pippen to respond on the left wing.

"Wow!!"

The familiar one-on-one made the Bulls fans shout excitedly. This is what Michael is best at!

Michael Jordan, holding the ball in his right hand, slowly approached the three-point line, raised his center of gravity slightly, and then leaned forward to accelerate!
Alan Houston subconsciously slid to the left and back. The two had just approached the block position, and Michael Jordan immediately crossed and pulled back.

There is no longer any shaking, shaking out the shooting space, Michael Jordan immediately combined with the ball, and made a mid-range jump shot!

"state!"

The basketball hit the back edge of the rim and bounced high. The Knicks' substitute, the atmosphere group jumped up.

Amid the exclamations of the Bulls fans, Ewing grabbed the backboard, and Rodman and Kukchi all rushed forward to grab the ball.

Before he could react, the ball was cut off by Pippen. Only then did Larry Johnson realize that he had forgotten to block the ball, and he rushed to the basket to surround Pippen.

Under the siege of the two, Pippen did not panic, but quickly dribbled the ball to the right corner.

Dribbling the ball out of the crowd, Pippen flicked the ball vigorously, and the basketball flew directly beyond the three-point line.

At the top of the arc, Michael Jordan jumped high, caught the ball with one hand, and firmly protected the ball after landing.

After tossing around, everyone on the Knicks team was a little confused. With 21 seconds left in the game, Li You in the left corner loudly reminded his teammates:
"Hold this round!"

At this time, Ewing also hurriedly greeted everyone to complete the defensive matchup, and Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines kept stomping anxiously.

Alan Houston looked at Michael Jordan in front of him after putting the ball with his right hand and lowering his center of gravity, just dawdling at the top of the arc, his scalp felt numb for a while.

"Oh!!"

The bulls fans who had escaped from the death were stimulated to shout indiscriminately, and everyone stood up to watch Michael Jordan's last attack.

Almost all the Bulls sank to the bottom, except for Pippen who stayed on the wing near the left sideline.

Larry Johnson didn't even dare to double-team, Pippen ate dumplings tonight
In the NBC commentary booth, Bob Costas watched Michael Jordan continue to consume time, and followed the countdown, his tone became more and more excited:
"5 seconds, 4 seconds...!

"Mike—!"

In the last 3 seconds, at the top of the arc, Michael Jordan suddenly started, raising the center of gravity of his body, and then dribbled the ball vigorously with his right hand, pretending to break through.

Before Alan Houston could react, Michael Jordan rose from the top of the arc, and made a quick jump shot from outside the three-point line!
The United Center arena was extremely quiet for a moment, and the Bulls fans at the scene saw the moment when the basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the basket, and they were completely blown away!

"what!!"

The crazy shouts almost broke through the roof of the United Center arena. In the commentary booth, the three shouted excitedly at the same time:
"He did it! He did it!"

"Mike-Jiao Dan! Incredible!!"

At 78:79, Michael Jordan delivered a fatal blow with his unconventional weapon.

Alan Houston and everyone were dumbfounded, watching Michael Jordan roar loudly, pump his fist passionately, and bump chests with Pippen in celebration.

Jeff Van Gundy requested a timeout immediately, and the referee immediately came to the technical stage and started replaying to confirm the game time.

Everyone on the Bulls pounced on McDuck, who was walking to the bench, and started celebrating wildly.

Phil Jackson also smiled and hugged his "thigh" excitedly.

Painful memories flooded into my mind again, Ewing's eyes stared straight, Oakley fell silent, and Starks stared straight at the Bulls' bench.

Li You has been paying attention to the remaining time, and noticed that the bald young commander is also confused at this time, so he simply took the tactical board, greeted his teammates loudly, and said calmly:
"On the sideline, I need two screens. Pat is near the baseline on the left side. Allan is on the left wing. False screens are fine. Larry, remember to serve me out!"

Everyone in the Knicks nodded subconsciously. Before Jeff Van Gundy spoke, Li You clapped his hands again and said confidently:
"0.9 seconds, enough for me to complete a shot!"

Perhaps there is too little time left, the Bulls fans at the scene are still celebrating, many spectators in the front row are hugging each other, and the Bulls fans who bought tickets in the back row have already jumped up and cheered
Although it was only a blink of an eye, the Bulls players who returned to the court were not careless. Everyone hugged each other and stuck to the defense.

"Oh!!"

The Bulls fans at the scene also began to make noise, trying to interfere with Larry Johnson who was serving from the sideline.

Directly below the basket, Li Youzheng was pulling with Harper, and on the left flank, Alan Houston was also secretly embraced by Michael Jordan.

Ewing and Oakley were also crowded under the basket. After the referee blew the whistle and passed the ball to Larry Johnson, Li You pushed Harper away, and passed between Ewing and Oakley on the left near the baseline.

At the same time, Alan Houston quickly ran to the right flank, pretending to receive the ball, and the two started almost at the same time.

After Li You briefly got rid of the defense and approached the three-point line on the left flank, Alan Houston's Michael Jordan, who was chasing after him, seemed to feel something was wrong. He immediately gave up chasing and made a small turn to attack Li You.

It's just that Maikou didn't expect that Li You would run to the right flank far away from the three-point line, and his pursuit and defense suddenly slowed down.
In the blink of an eye, Larry Johnson sent the ball out, Li You came two steps away from the three-point line on the right wing, and Michael Jordan fought hard to defend.

The moment he caught the ball, Li You turned around and threw the basketball towards the basket!

The basketball arced over the tip of Michael Jordan's left finger and flew toward the hoop.

While still in the air, the final buzzer sounded, the timer went red, and the Bulls fans were still cheering loudly!
In the blink of an eye, the basketball fell straight into the hoop, and the United Center arena instantly became a library, silent.

After completing the goal, Li You was expressionless and beat his chest angrily. Then he tapped his right wrist with his left hand and shouted loudly at the Bulls bench:

"It's my time!"

The moment of "wearing the watch" was quickly interrupted, and Larry Johnson rushed to him like a madman, hugged Li You and shouted in unconscious excitement:

"what!!"

"God! God! Unbelievable!"

"Good night! Chicago City!"

In the NBC commentary booth, Bob Costas climaxed on the spot and yelled crazily. The three of them seemed to feel that it was not enough, and the voice of "God" kept ringing.

Michael Jordan seemed a little unbelievable, staring at Li You who was under the pressure of the Knicks
Jeff Van Gundy also ignored his appearance, hugged with the coaching staff on the bench, and kept shouting loudly while punching:

"God! We won! Li Jue killed the opponent!"

"."

There was no booing or shouting. In the United Center arena, the Bulls fans at the scene just silently watched Michael Jordan walk to the bench with his mouth pursed.

It wasn't until Michael Jordan stepped into the player tunnel that the uproar sounded again.

81:79, the score on the scoreboard, once again reminded the Bulls fans at the scene that they lost.

The big score in the series came to 3:1, and the Knicks successfully got the match point!
Li You was almost overwhelmed by the pressure, but was pulled up by his teammates, walked to the player tunnel, and threw his fist again to celebrate!
"Shhh!!"

The Bulls fans who hadn't exited the field began to boo incompetently, watching the Knicks bouncing and running into the player tunnel, exhaling with anger.
In the NBC commentary seat, the three also calmed down. Bob Costas was still a little excited and said loudly:

"Incredible performance! Li showed his big heart!"

"34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 turnovers, perfect performance! Unbelievable, I just want to watch the replay of the last attack!"

He played 44 minutes, 22 of 10, 13 of 7 from beyond the three-point line, and 7 of 7 free throws. Compared with G3, Li You's efficiency has improved.

Doug Collins has turned into a melon eater at this time, and sighed with a smile:
"In the history of the NBA, the situation of falling behind 1:3 in the playoffs and finally winning the game has only appeared 5 times!"

"Although Michael Jordan has repeatedly created miracles, I am not optimistic that they will be able to come back against the wind this year."

"Back to Madison Square Garden, the Knicks will not give the Bulls a chance!"

迈克尔-乔丹出场44分钟，27中12，罚球14中10，拿到34分7篮板4助攻1抢断2失误；

斯科蒂-皮蓬出场46分钟，18中9，三分线外10中5，罚球8中5，拿到28分7篮板4助攻1抢断1失误。

Seeing the Bulls dual-core data, Jim Gray in the commentary once again exclaimed:

"Mike and Pippen played well and the Knicks won this game, it's unbelievable."

Doug Collins smiled and didn't respond this time.

15 of 5, the Bulls' role players did not score three-pointers, all hit iron, 39 of 27 free throws, and also enjoyed the home whistle.

Losing in this situation, Doug Collins ended up poisoning the Knicks:
"I have a hunch that the Knicks will win the championship this year!"

"."

At the press conference after the game, the major sports media wanted to put the microphone into Mike's mouth, and the questions were one after another:
"Mike! Lost the series, are you going to retire?"

"If you can't complete the contract extension with the Bulls, which city do you plan to go to?"

"If the Bulls complete the rebuild at the beginning of the season, will they not lose?"

"Mike, how do you comment on the general manager Klaus, maybe his point of view is right!"

Wearing a large formal suit, Michael Jordan still has Band-Aids on the corners of his eyes. He still looks normal after losing. As long as the series is not over, he still believes that he can come back:

"I don't want to answer questions that are not related to the game. You know, the series is not over yet."

"Historically, there have only been 1 times when a series was won after falling behind 3:5."

Before the reporters in the audience finished speaking, Michael Jordan said confidently:

"Historical records have nothing to do with me. I only focus on the next game. We will win G5 and bring the game back to Chicago!"

"."

Except that the Chicago sports media might still believe in Michael Jordan, everyone else felt that Michael was deluding himself.

When Li You came to the press conference room again, many New York media began to applaud loudly, and the excitement was beyond words.

The TNT reporter noticed the details, and as soon as Li You sat down, he immediately asked a question:

"Li, we noticed that you seem to have drawn yourself a tactic before completing the lore?"

After holding the microphone for a while, Li You replied with a smile:
"Coach Van Gundy had already prepared the tactics, and I just happened to pick up the tactics board."

"For such a situation, the coaching staff has long been prepared. After all, we have rested for a long time and have enough time to improve the game plan."

The reporter of the New York Post didn't care about these details, and asked loudly when he came up:
"How does it feel to kill the Bulls? Lee, you are our hero tonight!"

Li You looked up pretendingly, pretending to remember, and finally said with a smile:

"It seems to be no different from last year, but this time I won't lose again!"

"In the playoffs, I won't lose to the same opponent twice!"

"Of course, the series is not over yet. Back at Madison Square Garden, we also need the support of New York fans!"

The New York media all booed and laughed, and the melon-eaters also cheered. Several reporters from the Chicago Tribune looked very ugly.

After the game that night, Li You's 0.9-second counter lore made the media climax. The series is not over yet, and the people who eat melons can't wait to hold a meeting for Michael Jordan.

The "Tu Qiao Conference" is already in preparation, and as long as the Bulls are eliminated, endless ridicule will sweep over.

The Knicks flew back to New York overnight, and Ewing seemed very excited after getting off the plane:
"If we reach the finals and face the Jazz, we have a great chance of winning the championship."

"Karl Malone, a softie who relies on free throws, can't stop us from winning the championship!"

"Fack! This is the best time for us to win the championship!"

Oakley also felt that the championship was calling him, and the old guy also booed:
"Eliminate the Bulls and wait for the opponent to disintegrate next year. We may even have a chance to win another championship."

"Without that bastard Michael, we're going to take back what's ours."

The atmosphere group also yelled and blew X, Li You's phone kept ringing, so he simply turned it off, seeing that everyone was still discussing the game, he immediately reminded:

"Get a good night's sleep, we end the series the day after tomorrow, I don't want to go back to Chicago."

Hearing Li You's words, the atmosphere team immediately flattered:

"Lee's right, we're going to win at home!"

"Michael Jordan is dead, the future belongs to us!"

"."

On May 5th, Li You once again boarded the New York print media sports section:

"It's my time!"

Most of the photos selected are Li You's "wearing a watch" moment, and some media used Li You's quick shot, Michael Jordan jumped up to block the shot, and the basketball went into the frame to catch the fear of the photo.

Michael Jordan once again became Li You's background board.

The series isn't over yet, but much of the media has adopted a positive tone, arguing that the Bulls have been knocked out.

More and more ball critics began to shoot after the horse, and the general manager of the Bulls, Klaus, became the biggest winner.

Although no one has interviewed this one yet, as long as the Bulls lose, Krause will inevitably pop up and talk about Michael Jordan
As long as they think of such a situation, Lezi fans can't wait for the Bulls to lose G5 immediately.

At this time, most of the media was not fully fired, and Michael Jordan was not ridiculed much.

The three-pointer before the end almost saved the Bulls. Midu was not criticized, but Phil Jackson was sprayed miserably.

"Phil Jackson is dead, his luck has run out."

"Where did all of Phil Jackson's timeouts go?"

"Are there any tactics in the Bulls? It's all star singles!"

"."

When Li You returned to the apartment, he saw the ESPN football critics stepping on Phil Jackson on the TV, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

There is still something about the champion coach, and the Bulls almost won.

Ray Allen flew to New York on purpose, and when he came here early in the morning, he couldn't stop screaming:

"It's unbelievable that Mikou is going to lose!"

This was the fifth time Li You heard his friend sigh, and he curled his lips and responded:
"He's old, you don't think he's still in 96!"

"The regular season is average, and the data can often reflect the player's state."

"The reason why he doesn't feel it may be that he has slipped from a superstar to an All-Star level."

Li You said it easily, but in his heart he was complaining about the Bulls' 1-point rain.

Slowing down the tempo and frequently falling into position to attack, Phil Jackson found his weakness, coupled with the decline in Ewing's finishing efficiency, the Bulls' 1-point rain almost knocked down the Knicks
Thinking of Mikou's performance after entering the playoffs, Ray Allen reluctantly admitted:
"Maybe you're right, Mike is really old, but I still think that as long as a reliable shooter is added, the Bulls can complete the three consecutive championships again."

The idiot fan is hopeless, Li You thinks that his friend is poisoned, everyone is human, and Maikou just can't do it:

"I have prepared front row tickets for you. Tomorrow night, you will be able to see with your own eyes how lonely your idol is when it is eliminated!"

"I promise this is a rare scene, don't forget to take a photo for me, I want to keep it as a souvenir!"

Li You's bad taste immediately made Ray Allen speechless, but when he thought that the series was really coming to an end, he could only mutter in a low voice:

"I'd love to see Mikey complete his three-peat."

Once again, Li You's popularity exploded when he beat the Bulls again. The hook staff couldn't get through to Li You's phone, so they found Mark Bartelstein.

After making appointments for a bunch of offseason activities, Mark Bartelstein was completely comfortable. He flew to New York at noon, and when he saw Li You, he said inflatedly:
"The Knicks must prepare for a big contract! Super contract! Or we're out of here!"

"I swear, even Chicago will throw an olive branch at us!"

Thinking of waiting for another season, he will be able to get a big contract, Li You is also in a very good mood:

"What about Kevin Garnett's contract?"

Hearing Li You's words, Mark Bartelstein pondered for a while, and finally said:
"That depends on how the labor agreement is negotiated!"

"However, I don't think it will have much impact on young players. Considering your data and age, 1.26 million, there is indeed something to talk about!"

Li You immediately felt better, and even the nutritious meal in front of him became much sweeter and more delicious.

Although it is still unclear what the negotiations on the collective bargaining agreement will be, Mark Bartelstein still reminded Li You:
"Offering a big contract may cause some trouble to the team's reinforcement, but New York has money, even if the old Charles is no longer in charge, they will not be stingy!"

Li You doesn't care about the team's reinforcements at all. He is neither the boss nor the team manager. Big contracts are what he pursues:

"That's not something I should think about, I just want to make money!"

"."

Getting ready to go to the training hall, Li You just drove out when he was surrounded by enthusiastic fans.

After satisfying the need for autographed group photos, Li You suddenly felt that it was time for him to change to a new home during the offseason.

In the training session, everyone on the Knicks team was full of energy, and they didn't seem to feel tired at all, and they were more active in running tactical routines than before.

Ewing, Oakley, and Starks have burst into laughter, and Alan Houston and Larry Johnson also showed relaxed expressions.

The game finally entered a tailwind, and Li You, who was doing shooting training, nodded secretly:
"Funwind, it's time for an outbreak!"

"."

The Bulls who flew to New York got off the plane and were surrounded by major media. Everyone wanted to see Michael Jordan's depressed appearance, but Phil Jackson refused to be interviewed.

On May 5th, the G27 game will officially start that night.

Phil Jackson, who was interviewed before the game, was still full of confidence, but at this time no one believed that the Bulls could complete the counterattack.

At Madison Square Garden, the New York fans who like to watch the fun are already excited. They entered the arena early and twisted along with the music.

In the locker room before the game, Li You was surrounded by a lot of sports media:

"Lee, will the Knicks make the cut tonight?"

"Of course, today! I don't want to go to Chicago to play again, the fans there don't welcome me!"

Li You answered the question confidently, and the media in front of him also laughed when he heard the answer he wanted. Soon everyone began to trade business with each other, and by the way, he loaned the Knicks a championship.
Although Ewing on the other side has a lemon in his heart, as long as he thinks of the championship, the gorilla thinks it is acceptable to be a pie front for a while.

After all, among the four major centers, only Olajuwon has won a championship. David Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal have no rings!
Jeff Van Gundy was so happy from ear to ear these two days, he didn't make too many arrangements before the game, and continued to use the hang-up tactics, but simply told the defense:
"Go back to the home court, keep our tough defensive attitude, and don't let the opponent score easily."

"."

As the players of the visiting team came on the stage, when the DJ called out Mike's name, boos immediately spread everywhere:

"Number 23, Michael Jordan"

Seeing Michael Jordan's serious look, the happy New York fans kept booing and shouting:

"Shh!"

After the Knicks players appeared on the field one by one, they heard Li You's name, and the cheers continued one after another. Even before the game started, there was a special shout:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

In the MSG commentary box, Walter Frazier couldn't stop boasting at this time:

"In this year's playoffs, Li played a phenomenal performance."

"In my heart, he is the MVP of this season. Every time the team needs him, Lee can stand up!"

The commentator Mike Breen kept nodding, but he didn't forget to introduce the Bulls' starting situation:
"Dennis Rodman replaced Longley tonight. It seems that the Bulls will guard against pick-and-rolls after the start."

"Let's go Knicks! Let's go Knicks! Let's go Knicks!"

When the players from both sides stood in the middle circle, the sound of cheers resounded throughout the arena.

Everyone in the Bulls looked serious. Seeing Ewing easily jump to the ball, they immediately retreated quickly.

Harper is still defending with pendants. When Li You came to the top of the arc, Alan Houston quickly slipped across the baseline from left to right.

In the left block position, after receiving a pass from Li You, he turned around and leaned back slightly, facing Michael Jordan's block, Alan Houston immediately shot a jumper!
"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance.

After completing the goal, Alan Houston punched confidently, looking very proud.

"Wow!"

The fans cheered loudly, and seemed to sense the confidence of the Knicks. Michael Jordan's face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't want to see such a result at all.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Amidst the defensive cheers, Pippen caught the ball and quickly dribbled it across the half court. When he came to the defensive flank, he immediately gave the ball to the block position and asked for the ball.

The latter caught the ball, released the ball with his left hand and hit it quickly. When Alan Houston moved back, he dunked and quickly turned toward the baseline, and then shot a fadeaway jumper!

"Bang!" An angry strike in the middle distance!
The rebound was easily accepted by Ewing, and Li You immediately stepped forward to respond, and the Knicks began to accelerate towards the opponent's half.

After a simple crotch change, after switching to the left hand, Li You took advantage of the situation to circle the ball behind his back, headed against Harper to attack again, and accelerated to cross the half court.

At the top of the arc, Ewing made a high pick-and-roll, the gorilla just moved, and Rodman followed up to defend. Li You, who held the ball in his right hand, quickly in and out, and then went to the right to break through.

Rodman immediately quickly assisted in the defense, coupled with Harper's chasing defense, when the two were about to form an encirclement, Li You pulled the defense horizontally, then flicked his right wrist, and quickly sent a ground pass.

The basketball flew past Rodman's left, rebounded and fell into the hands of Ewing who was going down. Kukoc at the basket wanted to quickly help the defense, but saw Ewing who caught the ball and threw the ball to the basket .

"Shua!" The two-pointer went into the net!

"Wonderful cooperation! The Knicks found an offensive feeling after the opening, which is definitely a good thing for us."

The commentator Mike Breen saw the Knicks quickly enter the state after the opening, and smiled again for a while.

In the next few rounds, Pippen, who had a very good touch in the last game, hit the iron openly
Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, saw that Mikou also followed the iron, and he lost his emotions for a while.

Every time the iron is hit, the Knicks can complete a transition offense as long as they protect the backboard.

This time the Bulls retreated, Pippen did not catch up with Larry Johnson who was rolling down in time, and Li You, who received the long rebound, did not dribble, and directly threw the ball into the opponent's half.

Sprinting into the paint area, Larry Johnson easily caught the ball, and then took advantage of the opportunity to complete a two-handed dunk!
"Beautiful counterattack. Lee found Larry immediately. Many people underestimated his passing vision!"

Walter Frazier saw that the Knicks were relaxed for several consecutive rounds, and for a while he turned on the blowing mode again.

The two cores slammed into each other, and finally Kukchi of the Bulls stood up and continuously caught and shot jumpers from mid-range positions to help the Bulls score points.

With 1 minutes and 6 seconds left in the first quarter, Li You made a free throw, and Phil Jackson had no choice but to request a timeout.

At 6:12, the Bulls scored all from Kukci, Mikou and Pippen misfired at the same time.

At Madison Square Garden, the New York fans cheered louder and louder. On the bench, the atmosphere group jumped up and down and shouted.

Several people on the field were a little frustrated, and Pippen turned around and walked to the bench without saying a word.

Li You walked to the bench and noticed that Mike was still standing outside the three-point line with his hips on his hips. When passing by, he smiled and whispered:

"Goodbye, Black Jesus!"
