NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 202 Let him "suck"! (Ten thousand words chapter)
On November 2000, 11, the NBA announced its first Player of the Week for the new season:
The Jazz's Karl Malone and John Stockton successfully won the award.

Whenever someone thinks that the old man is not good at basketball, these two will step forward!

三场比赛，37岁的马龙场均31.7分9.3篮板，38岁的斯托克顿场均15.3分12.3助攻；

In addition to the 3-0 record, the most important thing about winning the award is that they defeated the Lakers.

After a strong dialogue, the Jazz won again. The Lakers had a slow start, their role players were out of shape, and they lost unfairly.

However, the media in Los Angeles can always find new points to boast about. The team's new aid Isiah Leder seems to be in good condition and has recently become a model player for the "prodigal son".
Li You was shocked by the Los Angeles media when he saw these news. Is it true that joining the Lakers will become a treasure?
Fei Yezi, late for training, conflicts with team staff and spectators.

Although this is a characteristic common to most current NBA players, some of the former dunk king's more egregious behaviors have even made his teammates unbearable.
After joining the Hawks for one season, Mutombo complained about these things to Ewing. Li You was also considered a front-line fan. Knowing the inside story, he didn't believe in the "prodigal son turning back" at all:
“You can’t even trust a poisonous dog!”

On November 11, everyone on the Knicks team who flew to Milwaukee, like ordinary people, no longer paid attention to the game. They stayed in front of the TV in the hotel at night, waiting for the voting results.

It is broadcast live all day long, and the votes of both parties are chasing each other. The whole country is following the melon at this time. This thing is much more exciting than sports competitions.
When the media began to report that the Donkey Party won the votes in Florida, some people in the Knicks also cheered. Within two hours, all the news media began to slap themselves in the face again. There was something wrong with the voting results:

“Both parties are in a state of anxious voting.”

This scene almost made Li You laugh out loud. The news anchors on the TV all had question marks on their faces. This was something that no one had ever experienced before.

It was already past 23:[-], and there was still no result. Li You patted his butt and got up to get ready for bed, while the crowd was still watching the TV.

Alan Houston saw Li You yawning and couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"Li, don't you pay attention to the voting results?"

Li You waved his hands without looking back and said in a relaxed tone:
"I'm more concerned about the Nasdaq, remember to get some rest early, there are two back-to-back games this week."

Everyone in the Knicks team stayed in front of the TV with great interest until after 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, new news came from the TV:

“The votes are reversed and the Elephant Party wins”

What’s even more interesting is that after the losing party congratulated the other party on their victory, they withdrew their “blessings” when they addressed the people at the rally.

On the morning of the second day, after the first round of recounts by both parties, the gap was 2 votes. Then all the melon-eating people witnessed history. The administrative power and judicial power of Florida began to fight!
You require a manual recount, and we require the statistics to be completed within 2 days.

Regardless of the outcome, this operation by both parties has filled the suspense, and everyone is beginning to look forward to the final result, and the "litigation war" has officially begun.

The Bucks most likely stayed up late and were in no shape for the game that night. Ray Allen took the lead and almost smashed his own basket.

106:83, the Knicks easily defeated their opponents and successfully won 4 consecutive victories!

The sports media no longer pay attention to the results of the game at this time. They will briefly report it and continue to pay attention to the voting battle.
Flying back to New York overnight, the Knicks also suffered their first loss of the season in back-to-back games, losing to the Cavaliers at home, 99:90.

The loss finally made the sports critics focus on the Knicks. The New York Post gave this evaluation:

"Chauncy Billups is a failed signing!"

Billups seems to have returned to his time with the Celtics in his rookie season, seemingly at a loss when faced with tornadoes and fancy three-pointers.

Falling into a positional offense, whether the substitute lineup has a qualified finishing point, Cook is unpredictable, Ben Wallace's finishing is too rough, and Kurt Thomas' mid-range is relatively reliable.

Longley is suitable, but unfortunately he moves too slowly after coming on the field, and the defensive end cannot keep up with the rhythm in most rounds.

Jeff Van Gundy was naturally asked about Billups' mediocre performance in several games when he was interviewed after the game.

The bald young marshal didn't say much. He just talked about the situation in the interview:

"The regular season has just begun, Chauncey needs to adapt to the team!"

The voting results eventually fell into "litigation", and the fans turned their attention back to the game.

On November 11th, at the Fleet Center Arena, the game was coming to an end, and the fans of the Celtics stood up excitedly.

95:92, with 9.7 seconds left before the end of the game, the Celtics still had a chance to tie the score.

Head coach Pitino sat in front of everyone on the Celtics team, writing and drawing on the tactical board while loudly exhorting:
"Antoine, come and catch the ball. Pay attention to the opponent's defense. If you are suddenly double-teamed, return the ball to Chris immediately!"

"Be patient, find open opportunities, don't rush to attack, we have enough time to make this shot."

Paul Pierce, who was sitting on the bench, said nothing. In the fourth quarter, the Knicks turned the game over with a bang.

Pierce was very dissatisfied with the coach's distrust in the last attack, but Antoine Walker did perform well tonight, so he could only follow the arrangement at this time.

Although the team fell behind, the game was well played and the fans were happy to watch. Playing against the defending champion until the end was much more interesting than losing in the previous two seasons.

Players from both sides returned to the field, and the Celtics fans, who were not too concerned about the excitement, continued to cheer loudly:
"Wow!"

The Celtics made a desperate move at this time. Center Vitali Potapenko was replaced and substitute guard Chris Kyle came on.

Plus Randy Brown, Bryant Sticky, Paul Pierce, and Antoine Walker, there is no height and no need for cover.

Everyone in the Knicks knew without thinking that the opponent was going to force a three-pointer. Ben Wallace was still on the court, and the lineup was also smaller.

The shooting form in tonight's game was average. Fortunately, the opponent suddenly pulled his hips, which gave him a chance to complete the reversal.

Amid the commotion, Randy Brown, who took the inbound ball, almost broke the ball. When it came to the team's execution, the Celtics were obviously worse.

The screen at the free throw line did not allow Antoine Walker to get rid of Lewis. He failed to catch the ball at the first opportunity and finally dumped the ball to Paul Pierce on the far end.

The tactics didn't work out at all, but the fans at the scene didn't care. The Celtics made mistakes and quickly opened up the offensive space, leaving the left wing for Paul Pierce.

Artest had already committed 5 fouls at this time, and he did not dare to reach out to Pierce, who was shaking his head. The opposite man also received the blessing of the whistle tonight.

Both of them lowered their center of gravity, and Pierce, who was holding the ball in his right hand, didn't move much and watched the time pass.

This patient competition eventually led to the impetuous Artest taking the lead.

With 2.1 seconds left in the game, Artest subconsciously moved forward and chose to press and defend. Pierce immediately joined the ball, almost hanging on defense, and forced a jumper from outside the three-point line!
The arena suddenly became quiet. As the basketball hit the net, everyone raised their hands and cheered.

"GOD! Paul Pierce hit a key three-pointer, we still have a chance!"

"Incredible goal, God is on our side tonight!"

Celtics home commentator Mike Gorman stood up and shouted excitedly, and his partner, Celtics legend Tom Heinsohn, also shouted:

"This is the Celtics team we expect, we have a chance to beat the defending champions!"

The referee was watching repeatedly at the technical table to see if a callback was needed. After being dragged into overtime by his opponent, Li You didn't have much emotion and just patted the frustrated Artest.

After scoring the goal, Paul Pierce hugged his teammates excitedly and kept shouting:

"This is my house!"

Paul Pierce, who was jumping up and down, deliberately turned up the volume in front of Li You and looked very proud. When he pumped his fist, he looked like a futuristic emoticon.
Li You noticed that the referee indicated that there were still 0.6 seconds left, and immediately smiled at Paul Pierce:

"Right corner, God is on my side tonight! I don't want to work overtime!"

After saying this, Li You pretended to point his finger to the sky with one hand, and then walked to the bench in front of everyone in the Celtics team.

Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce were confused when they heard this. When they returned to the bench, Pierce simply volunteered:
"I'll defend Lee, Shet! We will win in overtime!"

Coach Pitino nodded in agreement, and then went on to arrange the defense for the final round.
"Wow!"

When the two sides returned to the court again, the cheers on the scene became louder and louder. Pierce noticed that Li You was really standing near the right sideline, and simply turned his back to the basket and hugged Li You.

The referee blew the whistle for warnings continuously, and Pierce gave up. He wanted to spray some more trash talk, but the referee's whistle sounded and it was about to take a baseline kick.

Near the baseline on the left, Billups stood on the baseline ready to serve. 0.6 seconds was too short, so there was only one chance.

The fans in the front row followed suit and shouted, trying to interfere and cooperate with the players in defense.

Pierce hugged Li You again. Facing the opponent's brown sugar defense, Li You first slid to the left during the pull. When Billups threw the ball to the right corner according to the predetermined tactics, Li You concealed himself. After the push, he quickly ran back.

Suddenly accelerating, Pierce lost half of his position, and then immediately jumped to block the shot in advance!

In the right bottom corner, Li You didn't pause at the moment he caught the ball. While his body drifted to the right, he threw the ball high.

Passing Pierce's fingertips, the basketball drew a huge arc in the air.

The moment Li You took action, the final buzzer sounded immediately. Perhaps because the arc of the basketball was too perfect, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Paul Pierce lost his center of gravity after landing and fell directly in front of Li You. Before he could stand up, the screams of the fans in the front row could be heard in his ears.

"what!!"

Commentator Mike Gorman subconsciously stood up again and shouted heartbreakingly:
"Lee—!"

"God! How did he do it!? Incredible!"

In front of the Celtics bench, Li You still looked calm, just tapping his left wrist with his right hand and raising an eyebrow at Pierce at his feet.

Antoine Walker was dumbfounded. Like the atmosphere team on the bench, he just stared blankly at Li You posing in costume X, and then subconsciously muttered:
"Does God really love him?"

Pierce, who was lying on the floor, forgot to get up for a moment, and just watched with his mouth wide open as everyone on the Knicks swarmed up and hugged Li You to celebrate wildly.

The referee could only return to the technical table again and replay the game to confirm whether Li You's goal had timed out. After waiting for a full 2 ​​minutes, the referee finally signaled that the goal was valid and the game was officially over!
At 98:95, with Li You's magical three-pointer at the last moment, the Knicks avoided two consecutive losses.

Coach Pitino on the sidelines could only shake his head helplessly. Despite the good situation, he still lost. If he loses a few more games, he will be dismissed completely.
At the press conference after the game, Pierce made a face and said the horse was gone!

Soon a reporter asked what Li You said at the last moment. Pierce didn't take it for granted and just responded truthfully:
"It's a man's game and Lee told me he was going to hit the shot in the right corner and I accepted the challenge, but God was on his side tonight."

"I can feel that the gap between us is narrowing. The Knicks have lost their dominance. The Celtics also have a chance to win the championship this year!"

"."

Li You's magical three-pointer swept the ESPN Sports Center. Many fans temporarily forgot about the voting. After seeing Li You's data, they chanted again:

"Knicks Championship!"

出场41分钟，25中14，三分线外9中5，罚球9中8，41分5篮板10助攻3抢断3失误。

What the fans saw were gorgeous statistics, but the commentators realized that Billups still failed to adapt to the team.

It's hard to separate from a rookie team, which has rarely happened in the past few seasons.

The 11th happens to be Saturday. In the TNT program, in addition to reviewing Li You's wonderful kills, don't forget to analyze the content of the game.

Charles Barkley adapted quickly after joining the show. The loudmouth pointed out the Knicks' problems mercilessly:
"They always let Ewing attack first in the first quarter, and Ben Wallace, who came off the bench, has not improved in finishing at the basket this season."

"The Knicks lack a dominant big man. They still have the strongest backcourt in the league, but basketball is for five people."

In the studio, Buckley, who was sitting on the sofa, meant that the inside line was not working.
At this time, Kenny Smith said good things to the veteran again:
"The reason is not Ewing. He doesn't play much. He only plays more than 30 minutes at home."

"The slow start is the reason why the game lacks dominance. The fixed tactic at the beginning is the catch-and-shoot game behind the screen of Alan Houston and Lewis."

"Once the shot fails, the opponent will seize the opportunity to counterattack. Therefore, as long as the Knicks get off to a bad start, the Knicks will fall into a tug-of-war."

"Maybe Lee should control the tempo and let the team slow down instead of playing faster and faster like now."

The two soon started a new round of argument, and finally Ernie Johnson had to interrupt:
"I need to remind you two that the Knicks currently have the best record in the league!"

"They're going to face the Hornets tonight and I don't think they're going to bother them too much."

"Judging from the results, it was the right choice to attack."

"With the current personnel configuration, it is difficult for the Knicks to play the low-post attack they used to do in the past. On the contrary, Lee has amplified their advantages. With more rounds, they have defeated their opponents in many games."

Kenny Smith shrugged. He had nothing to say about the results. In the end, he could only sigh:
"The whole team is playing around Lee. This is the rhythm he likes. Even if Grant Hill returns from injury in the future, I don't think there will be many changes."

Charles Barkley laughed out loud when he heard this, and then said seriously:
"Kenny, this is the privilege of a superstar. He has three FMVPs. Do you want Li to adapt to others? Why do we work hard to win honors?"

"."

Li You, whose usage rate has further increased, has the ball in his hand. Even if the touch is not good and even if his teammates are outperforming, Excel is even more perfect.

Professional football commentators can naturally see that the whole team is serving Li You, and this "blood-sucking" style of play is naturally controversial.

On the defensive end, since most teams' No. 1 position is occupied by soy sauce, Li You basically fishes.

The energy saved was used on the offensive end. A large number of pick-and-rolls and breakthrough points made Li You's assists look particularly good.

On the night of the 11th, the Hornets challenged the Knicks away from home. The team entered a rebuilding period, and newcomer Baron Davis has secured his starting position this season.

Li You also watched the TV show. In order to respond to public opinion, he made some efforts on the defensive end in the evening game.
Baron Davis was confused from the beginning of the game. Li You was leading the defense throughout the whole process. Under a lot of physical confrontation, he didn't even get a chance to get a shot in the first quarter.

At 17:31, at the end of the first quarter, the New York fans at the scene were excited again. The game looked comfortable and everyone liked to abuse the game!

Back on the bench, Byron Davis is still in a state of confusion:
"I haven't offended anyone!"

Although the Hornets made it to the playoffs, his presence has never been strong, and his playing time was further reduced in the playoffs.

There was no suspense at the beginning of the game. Fortunately, he met Billups in the second quarter, and Baron Davis regained some face.

However, as Li You once again led the defense in the third quarter, the Hornets struck a blow. After 3:7 of the single quarter, Baron Davis' mentality exploded.
In the end, at 74:108, the Knicks once again blinded their opponents with wild three-pointers.

Played 41 minutes, made 16 of 4, 8 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 turnovers. After the game, Baron Davis hugged Li You with eyes wide open and said subconsciously:
"Li, I never said anything bad about you."

Li You patted the other party hard, then whispered with a smile:
"Yes, but sometimes we can't help ourselves. Next time you come to New York, you can send me a text message in advance."

A big victory once again left most football commentators speechless. For New York fans and New York media, all they had to do was shout "Let him suck it!"

The high number of rounds brought beautiful basketball, and the statistics and victories made James Dolan smile from ear to ear.

At MSG, no one can criticize Li You. In New York, reporters invited to interview cannot say bad things about Li You. This has become an internal rule.

On October 10, the NBA announced the Player of the Week for the second week of the new season. Li You of the Knicks successfully won the award:
In Week 2, the Knicks achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss;

李佑场均出场36.0分钟，场均拿到31.5分5.3篮板10.8助攻2.5抢断2.8失误；

He averaged 19.8 shots per game, shooting 51.5% from the field, 6.0 shots from beyond the three-point line, 44.7% from three-pointers, 9.0 free throws per game, and 91.9% from free throws.

Stephon Marbury of the Nets also produced incredible statistics, averaging 34.7 points per game, shooting 59.4% from the field, and 45% from three-point range.After losing the Weekly Award, Marbury couldn't hold back. Before the game against the Trail Blazers that night, he couldn't help complaining to the media:

"The league should pay attention to players in small markets. In this week's game, I am the best player in the league!"

The Best of the Week is a small honor for Li You, but for a three-no player like Marbury, the Best of the Week is very important.

Li You can offend people every time he gives an award. After all, there is only one award and all players in the league are in a state of competition. At this time, "brother basketball" is not popular yet.

Ewing's "tour" was pretty good, at least in terms of statistics, and he didn't lose face every time he met old friends in a city.

The gorilla can also be regarded as a "blood-sucking" Li You
Before preparing for the trip to the West, Marbury's complaints were dismissed by "old-timer" Ewing:

"Young players should not always think about these honors. Li doesn't care about best of the week and statistics at all. Victory is our only pursuit."

"."

Half a month has passed in November, and Grant Hill has completely adapted to life in New York. Every time he plays a home game, there will be a lot of fans asking for photos.

New York fans love good-looking players, and Grant Hill's "elegant violence" is deeply loved by local fans.

Every home game, Grant Hill can attract many fans to buy tickets just by sitting on the sidelines.

The All-Star voting champions are all selected by the fans. Even if there is some water in some years, the popularity is real.

On the morning of the 14th, at the Tarrytown Training Center, Jeff Van Gundy comforted the “mascot”:
"There is no need to rush back to the court. You only need to follow the recovery plan given by the team's medical team for step-by-step rehabilitation and examination."

"There is no need to fly back and forth for the away game. If you have time, you can watch the game video prepared by assistant coach Thibodeau for you."

"Learning more about the Knicks' tactics will help you integrate into the team more quickly later on."

Although Artest's three-point shot is a bit stretched, overall, it just fits the current Knicks team.

Grant Hill was a little worried, but there was nothing he could do about his ankle injury. He could only respond in a low voice when he heard the coach's words:

"I'll be ready, I just hope I can officially get back on the court before the All-Star break!"

"."

On the night of the 14th, the Knicks, who had just flown to Seattle, were not too affected by the journey and once again gave the out-of-form SuperSonics a big defeat.

106:88, the Knicks still clocked in the third quarter.

After Glenn Rice joined the SuperSonics, the team's strength declined instead of improving. After losing this game, the SuperSonics' record came to 2 wins and 7 losses.

If he continues to lose, there is a high probability that head coach Westphal will be fired directly. After all, there must always be a scapegoat in the team.

After back-to-back wins over the Clippers on the road, the Knicks also ushered in the focus of this week's game.

On the evening of the 17th, the Knicks visited Phoenix to continue their road trip.

The "point guard duel" is a gimmick given by the NBC broadcaster before the game.

Suns fans naturally spent money to buy tickets. After all, they can only see two such games in a season.

The Suns have also been in excellent form since the start of the game and currently have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss. They are playing at home. In an interview in the locker room before the game, Kidd also expressed his confidence:
"We don't care who our opponent is, we will only play the way we are best at playing!"

"We will give our fans a victory tonight!"

During the offseason, the Suns signed veteran Mario Elie and also introduced Tony Delk.

Winning consecutive victories is naturally inseparable from the performance of the old and the young, but after tonight's game started, the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

After the game started, Clifford Robinson successfully jumped to the ball for the Suns, and the Western Arena was filled with joy.

After Kidd took control of the ball, he did not rush to use the half court, but slowly advanced, while raising his left hand and making tactical gestures.

Similar to the Knicks' tactics, the Suns also used a high pick-and-roll in the first round.

As soon as Clifford Robinson stood at the top of the arc, Kidd quickly completed the push and changed direction, holding the ball in his left hand, preparing to break through on the left.

Li You quickly squeezed through the screen, and while suddenly engaging in physical confrontation, he cut the ball from behind Kidd.

The risky steal paid off. The moment Li You succeeded in cutting the ball, the Suns fans at the scene exclaimed.

Kidd wanted to turn around and pursue the defense, but Li You rushed too fast and had already passed the center line in the blink of an eye.

Accelerating the pursuit, Kidd could only watch as Li You rushed into the paint area, jumped with both feet, and then hit a powerful windmill dunk!
"boom!"

The basket roared, the dunk was so powerful, and soon boos resounded throughout the arena.

A mistake occurred in the first round. Kidd seemed not to have expected Li You to be so aggressive defensively. He returned to the baseline to catch the ball and started to become cautious when dribbling the ball past half court.

上一场和小牛队的比赛中砍下19分19篮板4抢断5盖帽3失误的马里昂进攻中十分积极。

He slid down the baseline from left to right and ran quickly back to the right block. After receiving a pass from Kidd, Marion immediately released the ball. He held the ball with his left hand and went straight to the basket against Artest's pursuit.

The simple and crude offensive method was naturally easily predicted. Ewing, who was squatting in the pit, moved away, and Artest, who was chasing, used a hidden force behind him. The two surrounded him, and Marion threw an early throw while he was walking, and he was beaten angrily. iron.

Seeing Ewing grab the rebound, everyone in the Suns team retreated immediately, and everyone gave up on rushing for the offensive rebound.

After Li You caught the ball, Kidd stepped forward and delayed. However, the defense did not affect the speed of advancement. He was still chased by the butt and played a semi-switch attack.

The top of the arc was far away from the three-point line. Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, immediately stopped. Taking advantage of Kidd's defense, he quickly turned around.

At the same time as he switched to his right hand, the ball protector exerted force, and the two hands competed. Li You accelerated in a straight line and suddenly got rid of Kidd.

Clifford Robinson, who was squatting under the basket, watched Li You break through the middle and rush into the paint area. He subconsciously moved his steps. However, he saw that just one step past the free throw line, Li You leaned on Kidd and immediately completed a one-handed throw. !

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

Hearing the boos that resounded throughout the arena, Bob Costas praised loudly in the NBC commentary box:
"Li predicted the actions of the opponent's big man, and it was a perfect offensive rhythm!"

Doug Collins on the side noticed that Kidd had accelerated the offensive rhythm and subconsciously reminded him:
"Running with the Knicks is not the right choice offensively."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was also a semi-switch attack. Kidd relied on his own body and rushed across the half court, hanging on to Li You's defense, and made a strong layup in the paint area.
Under the interference, the basketball knocked out of the frame. After landing, Li You reacted quickly. He took off the second time to grab the backboard, and then rushed with the ball.

Ewing, who had just retreated from defense, simply stopped at this time, watching Li You swing the ball hard before it passed the center line, and found Alan Houston who rushed to the right wing.

The latter caught the ball, veteran Mario Lilli was still chasing behind him, and Alan Houston showed no mercy. After a slight adjustment, he raised the ball and threw it!

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

7:0, Coach Skiles looked ugly on the sidelines. His customized game plan before the game was not like this.

Continuously making downward gestures, head coach Skiles signaled the Suns to slow down.

Soon, the Suns, trying to slow down the pace of the game, started to hit the ground running again.

Marion was given a step to defend by Artest. Every time he caught the ball outside the three-point line, his breakthrough with the ball was always destroyed.

With 1 minutes and 7 seconds left in the first quarter, the Suns finally scored with Mario Elie's free throw.

13:2, the Suns’ slow-paced offense did not narrow the point difference.
As Kidd began to make low-level passing errors, head coach Skiles on the sidelines found that the game was completely out of control, and timeouts could not solve the problem. He could only watch the Knicks play faster and faster.

With 1 minutes and 2 seconds left in the first quarter, Li You did not use the pick-and-roll. He still broke through with his left hand holding the ball after turning around at the top of the arc.

Big man Daniel Santiago, who came off the bench, seemed to have forgotten Ewing behind him, over-helping to defend and directly stepped up.

During the march, Li You leaned on Kidd and threw the ball high into the paint area to the upper right side of the basket before his opponent could form a double-team.

With no one guarding him, Ewing jumped up and easily grabbed the ball, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Boom!" The empty catch dunk was successful!
At 28:10, the Western Conference Arena went completely quiet. Suns fans seemed to be in disbelief that they lost so much in one game.
After completing the dunk, Ewing pumped his fist excitedly. The cake was comfortable to eat, but his physical fitness was a bit unable to keep up. When he retreated from defense, he began to gasp for air.

Seeing Kidd miss again with a lob inside after the pick-and-roll, Doug Collins in the commentary box suddenly sighed and said:
"As long as Lee wants to defend, his defensive strength is definitely above the league average!"

There were three turnovers in a single quarter, which is not common for Kidd. Bob Costas also nodded slightly and praised:
"I think this has something to do with the matchup situation. In most cases, Lee is only responsible for defending the No. 1 position. In addition, the players' energy is limited. I understand Coach Van Gundy's positioning of Lee."

The two chatted in the commentary box, and the Suns' bench could only watch Li You stand on the free throw line again.

Tony Delk, who came on the bench, had a grimace and raised his hands to indicate that it was his fault. He took the shot too hastily and suffered a counterattack after the long rebound was collected by Li You.
The Knicks were on the bench, and Jeff Van Gundy, who was in a hang-up state, smiled and sat firmly in his seat.

Although the game did not meet his expectations, winning is always a good thing, and sometimes the process is not important.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 1:34. This strong dialogue between the point guards ended just as it started.

Kidd, who returned to the bench, was in a particularly bad mood. He made many mistakes and struggled to slow down. As a result, the Suns only took 13 shots in the first quarter.
After the second quarter of the game started, Kidd didn't rest, and he didn't give coach Skiles a good look, and resumed the previous game rhythm.

Soon Kidd's data began to rise slowly again, and his rebounds and assists were back!

With a big lead, Li You started playing blindly in the second half of the second quarter, and the two sides began to attack each other. The Suns fans also regained their energy. Even after being behind by a big score, they still happily cheered for the home team.

Facts have proved that not only New York fans love to watch the offense, but the Suns fans also completely recovered after watching the offensive battle.

At the end of the half, during the transition attack, Li You rushed to the right wing, sent the ball forward with his right hand, then used a "scissor step" to exert force with his feet, and at the same time pulled the ball sharply with his left hand.

The fancy moves made the Suns fans at the scene cheer subconsciously, and Bob Costas in the commentary box also shouted:

"OMG——! ClayGod!"

"It's so exciting! Li easily passed the defense!"

Marion, who was retreating, froze on the spot, suddenly changed direction, and completely lost his defensive position. He watched as Li You held the ball with his left hand and went straight to the basket. No one was guarding him and he easily made a gliding dunk!
Many fans at the scene immediately switched sides, and the beautiful goal made everyone start shouting loudly:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

While most teams in the league are still attacking from behind, feeding the ball to the inside, and pursuing defense in positional offense, the Knicks' fast break pursuit of transition offense and personal ability naturally makes fans happy to watch.

Until Li You withdrew his defense, Marion was still stuck in place, seemingly unable to understand how Li You could perform such a complicated, fancy and practical passing move.

"Want to learn? Come to my training camp and I can teach you these moves without reservation!"

Leading by too many points, Li You, who retreated to the midline position, also made a joke, but Marion took it seriously and even asked seriously:
"Bro, how much is the tuition? I liked the passing move just now!"

Kidd's face turned dark as he passed half the court, and he loudly called for his teammates to get down, interrupting the chat between the two. As a result, he made another mistake when he distributed the ball to the bottom corner in a pick-and-roll attack in the middle.
The basketball flew directly out of the baseline. On the Knicks bench, Kurt Thomas held the ball and laughed strangely.

The Suns' last attack ended in a turnover. Watching Li You's super long three-pointer hit the basket, there was another burst of exclamations in the arena.

At 60:34, after halftime, the game completely lost suspense.

The two were already chatting in the commentary box, and at this time Doug Collins even started joking:

"In a basketball game, as long as you score more points than your opponent, you will win!"

"The regular season has just begun, and I can't confirm the Knicks' defensive status this year, but what I want to say is that on a night when all their players were online, they did play an unstoppable momentum."

This statement indeed makes sense. Bob Costas chuckled for a moment, and following the topic, he simply said seriously:
"Defense wins championships, and the Knicks have been among the best defensively the past three seasons."

"Even if the defensive dominance declined last season, the points allowed still ranked in the top 10 in the league."

"Perhaps Lee can lead the team to play beautiful basketball in the regular season, but in the playoffs, I still stick to my previous view."

In the second half of the game, it could be seen that the two sides had entered a state of "mutual honesty", and instead of following the commentary every round, they simply chatted and gossiped.
Kidd, who had a black face throughout the whole game, finally found some touch in the third quarter, and Li You also relaxed his defense, allowing his superficial brother to get more data.

It's just that Li You still underestimated Kidd's ability to "brush" statistics. While rebounds increased, risky passes also caused the number of assists to increase.

Although the mistakes continued, Kidd had a chance to achieve a triple-double.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Li You had already taken a break, but Kidd was still struggling on the court.

After assisting Marion to hit a three-pointer, with 7 minutes and 01 seconds left in the game, head coach Skiles finally requested a timeout, and Kidd also came off the court to rest.

Glancing at the base statistics, Doug Collins raised his eyebrows, glanced at his partner, and said with a strange expression:

"A very exciting game. Congratulations to Jason Kidd for achieving a 4-double and 14 turnovers, tying the highest number of turnovers in his career."

12中5，三分线外3中1，罚球6中4，15分10篮板10助攻14失误，基德成功打出“四双成就”.
Bob Costas couldn't say that Kidd was cheating on the national live broadcast, so he could only change the subject and praise Li You's performance:
“出场30分钟，28分5篮板11助攻2抢断1失误，李再次证明了自己在防守端的能力。”

"I don't want to make too many comments about the Knicks' style of play, but if it can bring victory to the team, I think the fans will support Lee!"

16 of 9, 5 of 2 from beyond the arc, 8 of 8 free throws, a rough away game, without having to take care of Ewing, Li You was particularly efficient.

In the end, at 114:90, the Knicks easily won this "powerful dialogue".

Losing a regular season game is really not a big deal, but Kidd, who achieved a "quadruple-double", only felt that he was humiliated and turned away after a simple handshake after the game.

On the contrary, Marion took down Li You's phone number with a serious look on his face. The newbie seemed to really plan to go to the training camp to experience it during the offseason.

There were still New York fans in the away game. Li You walked to the tunnel and waved to everyone, causing everyone to scream again.
After winning against the Suns, before Thanksgiving, the Knicks' opponents are all weak teams, and everyone can prepare for the holiday.

The game was broadcast live across the United States and the press conference after the game was naturally attended by Li You.

"Lee, can you talk about your defense tonight? We all saw Kidd made 14 turnovers!"

The news of the "quadruple-double" will surely sweep through all major sports media tonight. NBC reporters sat down with a smile after asking questions.

"Just like tonight's game, if it can bring victory to the team, of course I will go all out on the defensive end."

"But basketball is for five people. Many times, I will encounter opponents that I can't limit."

"As you can see, if I can't respond on the defensive end, I hope to win the game with offense!"

Seeing Li You's serious answer, the ESPN reporter on the other side asked in a troubled manner:

"If the opponent was the Lakers, would the Knicks still stick to this game strategy?"

When Li You heard such a question, he just smiled and shrugged:

"Of course, as long as we score more points than our opponents, we can win the game. This is a basketball truth!"
