NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 179 MVP takes turns (8500 words chapter)
For many New York fans, a hearty offense looks much better than a slow-paced positional battle.

Scoring 100 points in a game is no longer enough to satisfy young fans.

Not only New York fans, most people who like to come and buy tickets to watch the game prefer to see beautiful fast breaks, powerful dunks, and gorgeous dribbles.

As popular as the Kings have been this season, the offense is indeed more attractive than the defense, especially when the core defender can make exquisite passes, which is further amplified.

At Madison Square Garden, at the end of the first half of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, many fans who bought tickets to watch the game were too excited to stop.

LSP Woody Allen, who was sitting in the front row, seemed to be possessed by Spike Lee at this time. He also stood up and cheered for the Knicks' offense.

The great director would not normally be so excited, but the Knicks' offense was too fierce in tonight's game. As he watched the scores continue to rise, excitement began to fill his heart.

Reggie Miller, who scored 6 of 5 in the first quarter and efficiently scored 11 points, gradually became stronger in the second quarter.

After several attacks, Reggie Miller feinted after receiving the ball and then broke through into the paint area and was interfered by Ben Wallace.

With 1 minute and 54 seconds left in the half, Reggie Miller caught the ball at the left elbow of the free throw line and made a jump shot. Seeing Ben Wallace get the rebound almost seconds, the Pacers quickly retreated.

Getting a lot of playing time tonight makes the excited Ben Wallace in better and better shape.

After Li You caught the ball, he advanced with the ball along the right sideline. Mark Jackson, who had just replaced Best, did not step forward to interfere. Instead, he quickly came to the right flank and established a defensive position in advance.

It was another semi-switch attack. The fans at the scene were cheering. Li You held the ball in his left hand and approached the three-point line. He noticed that Mark Jackson moved slightly backward and immediately went in and out quickly.

While traveling, he suddenly swung right and left, and Li You quickly cut in from the left flank.

Mark Jackson made a successful prediction and quickly slid back to the right. When the two had a physical confrontation, the Pacers had just completed their defensive positions.

Breaking through to the right blocking area, Li You suddenly changed direction with his hips and forcibly switched to his right hand.

After Mark Jackson completed the jump step, he was just close to the paint area. The two collided again. Li You leaned on each other and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand!

"Boom!"

Dale Davis, who had just run back to the basket, watched helplessly as the basketball hit the board and fell into the basket.

The defense was not out of position at all, but he turned around to block the shot and was knocked away. Mark Jackson looked at Li You who was posing under the basket and cursed twice in anger.
"Crazy offense! Li seized the opportunity to switch offense in this quarter and sent the ball into the basket again and again!"

"I think Coach Larry Bird probably didn't expect this to happen in the game."

The fiery atmosphere at the scene also caused Doug Collins in the commentary box to praise loudly. Bob Costas noticed that the score difference was widening and commented on the half game in a brisk tone:
"After taking 25 shots in the first quarter, the Knicks did not slow down in the second quarter and once again launched a violent attack!"

"Maybe the Pacers players are feeling tired!"

"You have to know that they just played an uncomfortable game in Miami two days ago. During the halftime break, head coach Larry Bird needed to readjust the game strategy."

Larry Bird on the sidelines saw Jaylen Rose posting up in the left block and Artest was forced to shoot a fadeaway jumper toward the baseline, and he frowned again for a while.

The basketball hit the edge of the basket, and Artest, who happened to be twisted and blocked, collected the rebound.

Seeing Li You catch the ball again, the Pacers could only retreat quickly.

Crohill, who scored most of the points in the second quarter, followed Lewis to the right corner in frustration.

Noting that Ben Wallace's high pick-and-roll on the left wing allowed Li You to get in again, Crosier hesitated and did not choose to help defend into the paint area.

The ball changed direction and came to the free throw line. Li You paused for a moment, then suddenly changed speed and increased his stride. When he came directly under the basket, he began to slow down again to lean on Dale Davis, who was pursuing him.

Suddenly stopping, Dale Davis directly bumped into Li You. Before he had time to adjust his defensive focus, he subconsciously moved towards the basket.

With no one to defend him, Li You leaned against his opponent, leaned to the lower right side of the basket, and threw the ball toward the backboard again!

Although he stopped in time, Dale-Davis failed to control his body and jumped up to block the shot. In the end, both of them fell to the ground.
"squeak!"

The buzzer sounded and the ball was scored. Dale Davis sat up and punched the floor in frustration.

The defender played with the big man, and the beautiful goal made the fans shout loudly:

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Crohill, who made the wrong defensive choice, heard the cheers in the arena and subconsciously looked at Larry Bird on the sidelines. The head coach didn't say anything, and he was relieved.

All members of the Pacers looked at Li Youjia's free throw with a grimace.

At 50:63, the score difference was further widened.

With 16 seconds left in the half, Reggie Miller found his touch again. Facing Alan Houston's block, he succeeded in a jump shot from the left elbow.

After hitting this goal, the Pacers' score in a single quarter had just reached 17 points.

At the last moment, Li You missed the buzzer-beating throw in the paint, and the stadium was filled with regretful sighs, and then was covered in cheers.

At 52:63, halftime ended, and the Knicks entered the second half with an 11-point lead.

Although the game was lively, both sides' shooting percentages declined in the second quarter.

Jeff Van Gundy was very satisfied with the team's performance, but Ewing was a little depressed. He and his opponent Rick Schmitz played the same game for 2 minutes in the middle of the second quarter.

I thought I would get more opportunities when meeting a big man, but I didn't expect that the opponent would play faster and faster.

The Knicks still rotated step by step in the second quarter, with Larry Johnson leading the first half of the quarter and Li You leading the second half.

The two people in the commentary box were shocked when they saw the technical statistics that the Knicks took 2 more shots in the second quarter, and the number of shots in the half reached 23.

Doug Collins noticed that the Pacers also took 45 shots, and for a while he could only sigh:

"Coach Larry Bird's game strategy was right, but they couldn't run in the second quarter."

"Coupled with the fact that Jaylen Rose was completely misfired, the difference was widened."

Throw the ball after the screen, and then post up after half court. If there is no good opportunity, Mark Jackson can break through with the ball.
The two shooters opened up the offensive space on the court, and coupled with the faster lateral movement of Crohill, the Pacers played extremely unrestrainedly!

Rick Schmitz took a feint after the opening shot and no longer served as the main attacker. This was completely different from last year's experience in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Scored 63 points at halftime. The high score brought by the high number of rounds completely ignited the atmosphere. Bob Costas also noticed this situation and added with a smile:

"Lee's transition attack is so easy to score. At half transition opportunities, he can also take advantage of the opponent's physical advantage to rush to the basket and complete the score."

"The Pacers did a good job of limiting his shooting, but he seemed to be a little unprepared when he was frequently driven to the basket."

"What adjustments will coach Larry Bird make in the second half of the game?"

Seeing the New York fans who were already dancing to the music, Doug Collins was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he simply spoke about the scene:

"After changing the defender and readjusting the matchup situation, the Pacers still have a chance to turn the game around!"

During the halftime break, under the basketball stand, James Dolan felt the lively atmosphere of the scene and completely entered the state of winning and smiling.

The girls on the cheerleading team began to get the fans to play some shooting games, and with the reward of US dollars, the atmosphere at the scene did not diminish.

After the second half started, both Jeff Van Gundy and Larry Bird sat back on the bench.

The two sides regained their starting lineups, the big man returned to the court, and the game returned to its normal rhythm.

The Knicks took the lead in attacking. When Li You reached the top of the key, he noticed that the defender in front of him had become Reggie Miller.

Clapping his hands and lowering his center of gravity, Reggie Miller looked at Li You, and then Ewing stood at the top of the arc with his long body sideways.
After Li You circled the ball behind his back, he switched to his left hand and faced Rick Schmitz who came up with a sudden delay and quickly in and out.

Li You did not choose to pass between the two, but accelerated directly, leaned against the opponent, and squeezed past Rick Schmitz on the right side.

"Overtaking on the outside lane", before Rick Schmitz could react, Li You had already broken through to a position close to the paint area.

Dale Davis immediately moved to help defend the basket. Li Yousan took a long step and curled up to face the opponent's block. After dodging the block, he took advantage of the situation and gave the ball to Oakley, who cut into the basket.

The latter caught the ball and hit the lower right side of the basket with ease.

At 52:65, the point difference continued to widen. Oakley's layup did not affect the mood of the New York fans, and cheers resounded throughout the arena again.

As soon as the pick-and-roll man was gone, Reggie Miller approached Li You and started provoking:
"Young man who can only pick and roll, you should play like a man!"

Li You was a little surprised. Seeing the angry eyes of the other party, he immediately smiled and said:

"You should go off the court now and look at my data, get the same points as me, and then talk trash to me!"

"If your memory is running low, let me remind you that the pick-and-roll won me two championships!"

When he mentioned the championship, Reggie Miller was immediately choked and speechless, and at the same time he was so angry that anger surged in his heart.

No one has talked trash to Li You for a long time. He is the youngest MVP, FMVP, and scoring champion in history. His honors are much worse, and his statistics cannot compare.

Under various circumstances, veterans who want to save face will usually automatically ignore Li You
Suddenly applying a layer of anger buff to himself, his expression became a bit ferocious, and Reggie Miller took the initiative to ask for the ball in several consecutive rounds.

It's just that the offensive methods are really limited. In addition to desperate running, most of them break through smoothly.

After scoring easily through transition offense in two consecutive rounds, Alan Houston was a little baffled and looked at the blindly beating Reggie Miller with incomprehensible eyes.

In this offense, after breaking through to the inside again, the foul count was useless and Oakley hit Reggie Miller hard again.

The old guy whose reaction speed has slowed down can't catch the nimble little guard, and is even teased by Iverson. But when he encounters the straight-forward Reggie Miller, he hits the block and covers his head with a swiping shot, and he suddenly feels comfortable.
Seeing Reggie Miller knocked to the floor, the New York fans at the scene became even more excited. The cheers became louder and louder, and Dale Davis was so angry that he immediately stepped forward and pushed him.

Larry Johnson, who was so worried, suddenly became energetic at this time, but before he could rush forward, he was hugged by the linesman who had been paying attention to him.

"Shh!"

Seeing that the lively scene was stopped by the referee, the fans were a little regretful after booing. This season, the Knicks have been taken care of.

Larry Bird noticed that the point difference had widened again, and began to frown again. He stood up and shouted twice to remind everyone to calm down, but in the end no substitutions were made.

Standing on the free throw line, he seemed to be blinded. Reggie Miller hit the second free throw, Ewing grabbed the rebound, and the Knicks launched another transition attack.

After the gorilla handed over the ball, he tried his best to speed up the front court. It was also a high pick and roll. This time Ewing hung up and immediately accelerated down the field.

Reggie Miller finally squeezed through the screen and desperately pursued Li You. At the same time, Rick Schmitz raised his hands and moved laterally, stepping on the three-point line to delay.

Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, first used his ball protector to push away Reggie Miller who was rushing to his side. When Rick Schmitz got in front of him, he suddenly leaned against the opponent and jumped up to throw the ball.

Li You threw the ball from the opponent's right side to the basket with one hand. Li You's pass was so powerful that the basketball hit the floor and bounced high. Ewing, who was passing down, just caught the ball in front of him.

Right in front of the basket, just a step away, Ewing immediately took off, ignoring Dale Davis who was assisting in defense, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed the ball directly into the basket!
"Boom!" The dunk was successful!
"Wow!"

The powerful dunk once again ignited the atmosphere of the scene. Ewing also stood under the basket and roared loudly to vent his depressed emotions.

"The pick-and-roll will continue to help me win championships!"

"Man! Come to my training camp and I can share my championship experience!"

While Li You was pacing and retreating, he smiled and had a friendly exchange with Reggie Miller.

It seemed that his defense was completely broken, and Reggie Miller could only return to the most original greeting in the end.
The on-site cameras began to focus on the two people who were having a cordial conversation. Although it was impossible to hear the original sound, Doug Collins also guessed something in the commentary box:
"Miller seemed to have lost his composure in these few minutes, which is very fatal for a pitcher."

"He needs to play the way he is good at, instead of just showing off. Standing on the free throw line is also a good choice. Miller needs to calm down!"

Even with headphones on, Bob Costas could still hear the fans yelling and cursing.

The more Reggie Miller reacted, the more excited the fans at the scene became. Spike Lee wanted to chase him into the stadium and surround his old rival.
Mark Jackson began to distribute more balls to the calmer Jaylen Rose, who lived up to expectations and began to help the Pacers score points.

Noting that the Knicks scored steadily in response, and Li You assisted Ewing to score consecutive points, Bob Costas sighed again:
"Defense is the key to winning the game. The Pacers were unable to limit Lee, which made it difficult for them to turn the game around."

With 3 minutes and 4 seconds left in the third quarter, Reggie Miller, who had completely calmed down, closed his big mouth again, took a chance from the left wing, and hit the first sports goal of this quarter.

At 67:78, the point difference returned to 11 points.

Becoming more focused, Reggie Miller first glanced at what was going on behind him after Li Youyun passed halftime, then kept a short distance and interfered from time to time.

"Let's go Knicks!."

The two faced off again, and Li You wasn't passing the ball either. He was on the left flank, protecting the ball sideways. Reggie Miller immediately raised his forearms and stepped forward to defend.

The two of them first pushed each other with their hands, and then Li You suddenly turned around quickly, lowered his center of gravity, and accelerated with the ball in his left hand.

Reggie Miller immediately slid back to the right. Li You stepped on the three-point line and quickly completed the cross-step pullback. While switching to his right hand, he took advantage of the situation to complete the retreat.

Directly connecting the ball from outside the three-point line, Li You faced Reggie Miller's block and quickly shot a jump shot from the left wing!
With a large amount of shaking and a very fast step-back jumper, Li You leaned back slightly. Reggie Miller, who was trying to defend, finally got hung up on Li You's leg. While he was still in the air, the referee blew the whistle. "Squeak!"

When the buzzer sounded and the ball was scored, the New York fans at the scene stood up and cheered, greeting Reggie Miller loudly again.

After successfully getting a foul, Li You smiled and high-fived his teammates in celebration, and slowly walked to the free throw line.

Reggie Miller was completely silent. He just subconsciously looked up at the scoreboard, cursed secretly, and then patted his chest to indicate that it was his fault.
Jeff Van Gundy also stood up and applauded at this time. When he saw Li Youjia hit the free throw, he immediately felt that the game was stable.

67:82, the score difference instantly reached 15 points.

Requesting a timeout again, Larry Bird began to rotate personnel, replacing Rick Schmitz, who could only follow the turnaround, and took Crosier again.

The Knicks also replaced veterans step by step and brought in short inside players.

Crohill and Jaylen Rose continued to help the Pacers score points, but there was no change on the defensive end and still could not prevent the Knicks from responding.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers' bench was completely silent.

At 76:90, the game seemed to be losing suspense.

Jeff Van Gundy was very cautious and got back Li You after 4 minutes in the 3th quarter.

It wasn't until the point difference gradually widened again that Reggie Miller came off the court with 3 minutes and 46 seconds left in the game, and the Knicks began to switch to the atmosphere team.

In the commentary box, Bob Costas noticed that after the start of the fourth quarter, the Knicks' shooting percentage dropped again:
"In tonight's game, the Pacers performed very well in three quarters."

“Considering they only had one day off, I’m sure the rest of the series will be exciting!”

Doug Collins nodded. After the first two games, the Pacers will have three days of rest:
"If we can't win the away game, then the next two home games will be very important."

"I believe that head coach Larry Bird is ready to face difficulties. The team is in good shape this year and they also hope to win the championship!"

The two of them were making chicken soup in the commentary box, but Larry Bird, who was sitting on the bench, kept looking grim.

Rick Schmitz was not used too much, and the team took the initiative to speed up, but the situation of digesting the ball was not ideal, and the two main attackers lacked stability.

Reggie Miller, who had readjusted his mentality, sat in his seat and replenished his fluids, and then took the initiative to whisper to his teammates:
"It's my problem! We're going to win on the road."

At 35 years old, he is already at the end of his career. The young players of the Pacers certainly will not blame the big brother. Everyone knows that Reggie Miller has tried his best.

出场40分钟，19中8，三分线外6中2，罚球4中3，21分2篮板3助攻。

After scoring efficiently in the first quarter, Reggie Miller basically hit the ground running.

杰伦-罗斯拍拍老大哥肩膀，也没说话，19中7，三分线外2中1，罚球2中2，17分6篮板4助攻1失误。

After his efficient performance in the third quarter, Jaylen Rose slumped again. The performance of the two of them was half as good as Crosier who contributed 3 points on the bench.
In the last few minutes, the game time ran out quickly, and the score was fixed at 100:112. The Knicks successfully protected their home court.

"Wow!"

Although the shooting percentage dropped in the second half of the game, the 112 points scored in the Eastern Conference Finals still made the New York fans at the scene extremely happy.

NBC reporter Jim Gray greeted the staff and came to Li You's side immediately after the game.

The fans at the scene were still cheering and celebrating, and Jim Gray also raised his voice and asked loudly with a smile:
"Lee, congratulations on scoring 40 points again! Can you talk about what you communicated with Miller during the game?"

"Miller just asked me how to play the pick-and-roll!"

"In addition, I briefly shared my championship experience with him. It's that simple. We get along very well. I like to play against him!"

Li You smiled and gave the answer. The staff around him didn't believe it. Jim Gray even smiled and joked:
"Perhaps for the next game, we should consider putting a microphone on you. The fans will definitely want to hear the original sound of the game!"

"Believe me, Mr. Stern won't like it!"

After Li You said this, he burst into laughter along with several others.

This season, we deliberately rectified the civilized language on the field, but the effect was not good. It was not until the end of the game that the voices greeting Miller gradually became quieter.
26中16，三分线外7中3，罚球5中5，40分5篮板8助攻1抢断2失误。

With only 38 minutes of playing time, Li You once again played extremely efficiently.

James Dolan on the sidelines saw the technical statistics early. Although he is not a professional, he felt particularly beautiful when he looked at Li You's data.

Many fans in the back row were still reluctant to leave and did not leave immediately. Some people were still chanting Li You's name, trying to attract attention and get a chance to sign autographs and take photos.

"This is the game with the best atmosphere this season. Fans love to see such an offensive performance!"

The general manager Grunfield on the side could only continue to compliment after hearing the words of the curly boss:

"In some games, we can really play better than the Kings!"

James Dolan nodded with a smile, handed Grunfield the technical statistics, patted him on the shoulder, and turned towards the all-member tunnel:

"It's time to visit our warriors. Tonight's game was truly a perfect victory!"

"."

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks scored 112 points and played 86 possessions.

These two statistics are particularly eye-catching. The heat of the Lakers' victory over the Trail Blazers began to dissipate, and more commentators began to discuss the Knicks' offense.

Although Ben Wallace only scored 6 points, he blocked 3 shots and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Such performance also attracted the attention of many teams.

On Monday, May 5, we just reviewed the Knicks' performance last night, and TNT's morning program began to warm up for that night's game.

Mike Fratello was deeply impressed by Ben Wallace's performance last night, and compared it to the Trail Blazers' inside line on the show:
"We have Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace in the starting lineup, and Brian Grant and Detrev Schrempf on the bench."

"If we get into foul trouble, we can use Jermaine O'Neal."

"The Trail Blazers hoarded enough interior players, but they still couldn't stop O'Neal from scoring."

"Perhaps there are some problems with their team building ideas!"

Kenny Smith immediately shook his head and retorted with a smile:
"I believe Coach Dunleavy will make adjustments, but the Trail Blazers' perimeter players need to step up."

"Just like Lee continues to stretch the Pacers' defense with pick-and-roll offense, the Trail Blazers also need such guards."

"Shaq rarely delays. He can get some easy scoring opportunities from outside the three-point line and in the mid-range of the block."

Ernie Johnson saw Mike Fratello also shaking his head, and immediately understood what the other person meant, and immediately joked:

"What Mike means is that there is only one Lee in the league. The Lakers' perimeter defense is very good, especially the pursuit behind the screen. They have always done a very good job."

Thinking of the situation in the last game, Kenny Smith could only nod in agreement, and finally said helplessly:
"I hope tonight's game can be more exciting, I don't want to see 110 points in the conference finals again!"

"."

Since G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be held tomorrow night, the Knicks will naturally not relax and continue to train step by step at the Tarrytown Training Center.

Ewing only played a total of 21 minutes in last night's game, while the Pacers' Rick Schmitz played only 19 minutes.

两人基本上同上同下，这让尤因的数据下降了一大截，7中3，10分6篮板1助攻1失误。

During the morning video class, Ewing was in a bad mood. It wasn't that he had any objections to last night's game, but that he was thinking about the tour situation next season.

Jeff Van Gundy didn't even notice that he was distracted. He stayed up late to watch the game video. At this time, he was busy summarizing to the players:

"Dale Davis grabbed 5 offensive rebounds. Don't underestimate the opponent. This shows that the opponent's physical condition is very good."

"Tomorrow night's game, if the Pacers miss the three-point line, they will continue to attack the basket, just like they attacked the Heat's inside in the last round. We have to be prepared."

Oakley just nodded, indicating that he would not be careless again, and Ewing, who came back to his senses, immediately assured him:

"I'm going to protect all the backcourt rebounds and it won't be a problem for the team."

After the coaching staff summarized the game, everyone started discussing in low voices.

Li You is not worried about this. As long as the rotation is adjusted in time, Kurt Thomas and "Xiao Ben" can withstand it:
"Kurt, pay attention to your position after the pick-and-roll. You just need to run to the sweet spot where you are good at as quickly as possible, and then all you have to do is catch the ball and shoot."

"Compared to making a jump shot, not having an offensive threat is a bigger problem. Just believe in your own shooting."

Kurt Thomas has gained some weight this season, and coupled with daily iron lifting, his shooting status has been ups and downs compared to last season.

In last night's game, I went 6-for-1, most of which were open shots, but the result was that they didn't score.

After hearing Li You's instructions, Kurt Thomas quickly expressed his stance:
"Thanks, Bro! I'll keep taking action."

Artest doesn't need any advice, this newbie just throws it away when the opportunity arises, even if he strikes, he won't be affected in any way.

"If all my shots hit, I'll be the MVP!"

During daily training, when he was teased about blacksmithing, Artest used this sentence to fight back, leaving several veterans speechless.

Kukic has been completely accustomed to the Knicks' tactics. It seems different from the Bulls', but in fact, everyone is the same at every critical moment.
Jeff Van Gundy is very satisfied with the current team atmosphere and has great confidence in the current staffing.

While everyone was getting ready for dinner, Van Gundy warned Lewis, who didn't get much playing time in last night's game:
"Get ready, Rashad, you will get more playing time in this series!"

Even if the head coach was a charlatan, Lewis was willing to eat it at this time, and made an assurance with a low eyebrow:

"Coach, I'm ready!"

On the night of the 22nd, Los Angeles fans were happily preparing for another victory at home, but they were beaten head-on.

106:77, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers on the road and won a valuable away victory.

O'Neal was repeatedly double-teamed by human shields, with a lot of muscle collisions, and no free throw touch at all.

What made Los Angeles fans dumbfounded was that in the third quarter of the game, at 3:28, the Lakers scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Strikes, mistakes, strikes, only O'Neal and Brian Shaw scored in sports games.

Although the old Sabonis only played 17 minutes and committed 6 fouls, and Brian Grant also left the game with 22 fouls in 6 minutes, the Blazers' internal defenses still played a role.

出场39分钟，16中9，罚球17中5，23分12篮板4助攻3失误，奥尼尔被犯规限制住了。

Playing 42 minutes, 9 of 2, Kobe contributed the team's second-highest 12 points.

After this game, the Los Angeles media collectively lost their voice. They lost so badly that they couldn’t even blow the whistle.
Rasheed Wallace became the key player for the Trail Blazers, shooting 18 of 8, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 11 of 10 free throws, and scored a game-high 29 points.

Coupled with Steve Smith's 24 points and Scottie Pippen's 21 points, Portland fans were also excited. The championship seemed to be waving to them!
After the defeat, most commentators stopped touting the Lakers' dominance.

O'Neal has flaws, and the Lakers' performance is still unsatisfactory with 23 of 6 shooting from outside.

Seeing the Lakers' misfortune, the happiest thing was the New York media. The Knicks had just shown off their offensive firepower, and the Lakers were in trouble!
On the night of the 23rd, at Madison Square Garden, after the kickoff at 19:30 that night, the cheers couldn't stop.

After re-adjusting the defensive strategy, Jaylen Rose began to frequently defend in front of Li You.

Using strikers to defend really cooled down Li You's hand.

As the Knicks adjusted their offensive strategy, "Auntie" finally broke out after Li You gave the ball to Larry Johnson, who encountered a lot of mismatch opportunities.

With the blessing of a large number of shot rights, Larry Johnson helped the team continue to score points.

With a 2-point lead at halftime, the Knicks broke out again in the third quarter.

At 19:29 in a single quarter, after three quarters, the score came to 69:81.

In the live NBC commentary box, Doug Collins noticed that Li You sent 10 assists in the three quarters and praised him again:

"Even if he doesn't feel good, he can still help the team. This is the difference between Lee and other scorers."

Bob Costas felt that tonight’s game was much better than the last one, and he also commented:
"The Pacers will definitely stick to their defensive strategy. They will not relax their defense on Lee, let alone leave the perimeter open."

"Larry Johnson got a lot of offensive space tonight after moving into the rotation."

On the bench of the Knicks, Larry Johnson, who had eaten dumplings, felt that his back no longer hurt and his knees were no longer sore. After holding a bottle of water and drinking heavily, he took the initiative to fist bump with Li You, who was not feeling well:
"Hey, Bro! It's my turn to be the MVP tonight!"
