NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 19 Different choices

On June 1996, 6, G5 of the finals officially started at the United Center Arena in Chicago.

After the messy joint trial training, Li You happened to be able to watch the game at the United Center Arena at night.

Ray Allen also came to Chicago. The two did not choose to watch the game in the box. Agent Mark Bartelstein prepared front row tickets for them.

The fans in Chicago were particularly excited. After two years of silence, they came to the stage of the finals again.

The game was very tense that night, and it wasn't until the Bulls played a wave in the fourth quarter that the point difference gradually widened.

The head coach of the Supersonics, George Karl, is basically a 7-man rotation. Li You saw that Gary Payton was still not resting for a minute until the middle of the fourth quarter, and Li You couldn't help complaining secretly:
"It's really the strongest tactic to use to the end!"

Phil Jackson of the Bulls seemed very calm, but Jordan and Pippen didn't have much rest time.
Even if Steve Kerr, who came off the bench tonight, performed mediocrely and scored zero eggs, the Bulls still insisted on an 8-man rotation.

Michael Jordan broke through Gary Payton's defense, dodged Sean Kemp's block in the air and picked it up with a right hand, and the United Center erupted into loud cheers.

After a wave of 10:0, the Bulls have secured the victory!

Ray Allen also cheered along with the audience, tonight he was completely turned into a brainless fan.
This was the first time for Li You to watch a game of this era up close. The Bulls' defense was stronger than he had imagined.

The Sonics have always wanted to slow down and rely on their own strikers to limit the Bulls' offense, but in turn, the Bulls relied on excellent defense, causing the opponent to make many mistakes.

"This is the dominance of a 72-win team! No one in this league can beat them!"

The outstanding performance of the Bulls made Ray Allen scream with excitement.

The surrounding Chicago fans showed proud expressions. Every fan who came to Chicago to watch the game will be impressed by their Bulls in the end.

Li You has no sense of substitution. He has witnessed the 73 wins of the crash, and that is the most shocking:
"The Bulls will win the home game, you can go to the Celtics to try out with peace of mind!"

The noisy sound at the scene made Li You raise the volume, and Ray Allen grinned. Everything went as he planned, watching the finals, completing the trial training, and finally went to play for his favorite team.

Amid the cheers of Chicago fans, the score was fixed at 90:107, and the Bulls successfully defended their home court.

现场的记者第一时间采访到迈克尔-乔丹，28分7篮板2助攻2抢断1盖帽2失误，乔丹又拿到了全队的最高分。

"Michael! Michael—!"

While Michael Jordan finished the interview, Ray Allen yelled again along with the fans in the front row. After hearing the yelling, the marinated egg waved to this side with a smile, making the brainless fans cheer again.
Perhaps it was Li You's very calm expression that aroused Michael Jordan's curiosity. The big star looked this way twice, and then slowly turned around when he heard the shouts from the other side.

After the game ended, the spectators left slowly, and Li You moved with the crowd. Chicago's home court was always full, which was unique in the league.

"Maybe you can also go to Milwaukee and Minnesota, they have the No. 4 and No. 5 picks in their hands."

After leaving the arena, before Mark Bartelstein arrived, Li You reminded Ray Allen beside him.

"I don't want to play there, so I have to express my attitude in advance and I will not accept their invitation to try out!"

Ray Allen devoted himself to the Celtics. He likes the atmosphere of Boston. Unlike most black players, Ray Allen's childhood environment makes Ray Allen more like a white man in many cases.

Li You shook his head secretly in his heart. Sometimes the team doesn't care about the players' intentions, and the vague memory in his mind tells him that Ray Allen probably won't be able to go to Boston.

On June 6th, in a good mood, Mark Bartelstein accompanied Li You to Madison Square Garden.

Ray Allen's trial training yesterday was perfect, and the Celtics also confirmed their intentions. The two sides have mutual intentions. This is the most perfect result.

Driving a Chevrolet Blazer, Mark Bartelstein couldn't help humming a little tune.

Li You, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, felt very helpless about this, and couldn't help reminding:
"I always feel that the Bucks and Timberwolves will not miss this opportunity. No. 6 is not safe."

Mark Bartelstein didn't care too much about this, and continued to say proudly:

"No problem. Many teams are willing to sell the Celtics. Auerbach has a lot of energy in the league."

Li You secretly complained, this old man will be put together by David Stern next year, the old man is already dead!

Madison Square Garden, located in Manhattan, New York City, is also a landmark building.

Opened in 1968, it is one of the oldest indoor stadiums in the world. Li You is very familiar with this arena. The regional finals of the Big East League have always been held here.

Receiving Li You and the others were Knicks senior consultants Dick McGuire and Jeff Van Gundy.

As an authentic New Yorker, Dick McGuire is not only a legend of the Knicks, but also has been working for the team after retiring.

Jeff - Van Gundy has been Pat Riley's assistant in the past, as an assistant coach, just took office this season.

Can be more involved in the work of the team, not completely bald Jeff - Van Gundy also has a constant smile on his face
The coaching staff and scouts are also on the scene. The young Tom Thibodeau is calling the staff to set up training facilities. At present, Thibodeau is deeply trusted by Van Gundy and has become the chief assistant coach.

"Oh! We are old acquaintances, Lee, and welcome again to Madison Square Garden, the best arena in the world!"

"I still remember your performance in the Big East Conference Championship Game. I was there at the time. Let me move my body first. Mark, thank you for choosing the Knicks."

The 70-year-old Dick McGuire is very personable. When the old man speaks, everyone shows an attitude of listening.

"No one would refuse an invitation from the Knicks. Lee has been studying in Connecticut for the past two years, and New York has always been his first choice!"

Mark Bartelstein immediately expressed his opinion, while Jeff Van Gundy on the side greeted Li You:
"Come on, Li, you are familiar with the locker room here, we are ready, and it is your turn to show yourself."

"And one-on-one sessions? I love the challenge!"

Li You was not too polite, and raised his eyebrows at the serious John Starks. Obviously, the other party wanted to see his performance under NBA-level defense.
