NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 224: Fast attack as fierce as a tiger (8000 words chapter)
On the night of June 2001, 6, as the game progressed, Phil Jackson's frown deepened.

Unlike the Western Conference teams, the Knicks gave up on O'Neal's double attack.

With 7 minutes and 15 seconds left in the half, as Kobe Bryant hit another sports goal, the score reached 36:42, and the Lakers were still 6 points behind.

Jeff Van Gundy chose to let Li You rest first, and the lineup of Billups, Alan Houston, Artest, Kurt Thomas, and Ben Wallace still played well.

There is no complex tactical system, pick-and-roll jumpers, screen catch and shoot for Alan Houston, and occasional low singles.

If you can't make a shot, grab it; if you can't grab it, retreat.
The tactics were simple and clear, and with the help of Kobe and others, the Lakers, who traveled at the wrong time, failed to seize the opportunity.

For the first time on the stage of the finals, Billups was also possessed by a blacksmith.

On the opposite side, the 35-year-old Brian Shaw faced the defense of a young boy. He was completely stretched offensively and failed to perform as expected. He was replaced by Fisher in less than 3 minutes.

Jeff Van Gundy stood on the sidelines with a smile and folded his arms, watching Billups use the pick-and-roll to finally hit a pull-up shot at the free throw line, and immediately clapped along.

"Wow!"

Phil Jackson took the initiative to request a timeout, and Madison Square Garden also burst into loud cheers.

3 of 1, scored 2 points, and sent 2 assists. Billups completed the task and breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the bench.

Eating a lot of garbage time this season is still useful. Billups also has some ideas on how to control the rhythm of the game.

Kobe was depressed as he walked to the bench. Alan Houston ran a lot without the ball and cooperated with some low-post attacks, but he gradually regained his touch under his defense.

What makes Kobe even more uncomfortable is that Artest can share the defense. The rookie didn't do anything special when he came on the scene. He just chased him in many rounds.
O'Neal labeled Ben Wallace as "little Ben", sat back in his seat, and looked at Phil Jackson without saying a word:

"This is not the match he expected!"

Looking at everyone's eyes, Phil Jackson was completely aware of the Knicks' intentions.

Speed ​​up the tempo of the game, consume O'Neal's physical strength, and wait for him to hit the iron if he can't defend himself. By the way, he will use fouls to interrupt O'Neal's shooting touch from time to time.

"Shet!"

Cursing secretly in his heart, Phil Jackson suddenly remembered that this was the game strategy he had used.

The Bulls have been weak inside for a long time, and their rebounding is sometimes at a disadvantage.

He relied on his thigh dunks to win the game with a [-]% shooting percentage. Thinking of the Knicks' Li You's efficient performance this season, Phil Jackson cursed again in his heart:
"This poor imitator!"

Jeff Van Gundy didn't know that the championship coach on the opposite side was scolding him half to death in his heart. When he was still a junior assistant, the Knicks' old rival was the Bulls.

Whenever I encounter difficulties, in addition to applying some of Pat Riley's basketball concepts, I can't help but want to "copy homework."

Assistant coaches Don Chaney and Thibodeau were holding the tactical board and taking turns reminding the Lakers of the offensive routine. Li You also took off his training clothes and moved his body briefly.

The bald young coach was in a good mood, and the outside pitcher on the opposite side was playing hard, which gave the Knicks a chance to adjust calmly. He stepped forward and patted Li You on the shoulder, and everything was understood without saying a word.
Grant Hill and Ewing also followed suit. The team did not encounter a foul crisis. They would come on the court at the end of the second quarter to stretch their bodies, and then play half a quarter in the third quarter.

In the NBC commentary box, Doug Collins was still analyzing the Knicks' game strategy:

"Coach Van Gundy is very smart. This reminds me of the 93 Finals. As long as the Knicks have role players who can share some of Lee's offensive pressure, they have a chance to suppress their opponents."

"O'Neal has encountered the same difficulties as Barkley. Maybe he will gain some good data, but he will not be able to change the situation on the court."

As a die-hard Knicks fan, Marv Albert wanted to remain neutral, but his tone couldn't help but become much lighter at this time:
"I like Ron's attitude on the defensive end. In the second year of his career, he showed excellent defensive potential!"

"The fans in New York love him too, and there's always an extra boost of motivation playing for your hometown team."

Returning to the court after the timeout, the Lakers still retained Fisher and Horry.

Brian Shaw and Grant, who have old arms and legs, will most likely fall out of the rotation.

"Defense!."

The defensive shouts rang out again. After half a quarter of the game, Li You did not skimp on his physical fitness and continued to lead the defense against Fisher who was receiving the ball from the baseline.

He couldn't get rid of Li You even by accelerating, and Fisher didn't dare to move too much. He didn't wait until halftime and gave the ball to Kobe who responded in advance.

After handing over the ball, Fisher jogged all the way and took Li You to the left corner.

At this time, Fox led Artest to the right corner, while O'Neal was pulling with Ben Wallace in the left block, trying to continue to get the ball with his back.

If you follow the normal offensive routine, Kobe should come to the left wing to send a pass, and then run without the ball and cut through the middle.

With no chance to run to the right corner, the Lakers' outside players took the opportunity to rotate in order to open up space for O'Neal.

After the timeout, the Lakers immediately adjusted their tactics. Horry, who was on the right elbow, suddenly moved up to provide a pick-and-roll for Kobe.

At the top of the arc, Kobe Bryant, holding the ball in his right hand, broke through on the right side. Alan Houston squeezed through the fake screen behind him and continued to pursue the defense.

Unable to get rid of the defense, Kobe noticed that Kurt Thomas did not follow the defense in time. He just crossed the three-point line and immediately jumped to throw the ball.

Horry, who received the ball at the top of the arc, didn't adjust and quickly shot a jump shot after receiving the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

At 39:44, the point difference was narrowed to 5 points again.

In the second quarter, he hit a sports goal for the first time. He was 2 of 3. All the shots came from outside the three-point line. After scoring, Horry let out a sigh of relief and proved that he had lived up to his coach's trust.

The Lakers were still retreating on defense. Li You took the ball from the baseline and rushed forward. It was completely different from Billups' careful control of the rhythm. Li You chased his butt and rushed through the half court.

The New York fans at the scene also cheered, and Fisher was stunned. He followed his body's instinct and slid as hard as he could.

When he came to the three-point line, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly in and out, then increased his stride, changed his rhythm and accelerated again.

While briefly getting rid of Fisher, Li You had already caught up with O'Neal who was retreating.

Just after returning to the paint area, he suddenly found Li You beside him. Before O'Neal could react, Li You "overtook" from the outside. After taking three long steps to rush forward, he leaned forward and picked up the basket!

Excited shouts resounded throughout the arena, and Marv Albert was infected by the atmosphere and shouted:

"OH! It's so fast! Lee relied on his speed to get past the Lakers' entire defense!"

Looking at Li You who was retreating, O'Neal glared at Fisher and reminded him loudly when he was serving from the baseline:
"Fake! Watch your people!"

Running back and forth will naturally consume physical energy. The boss is not suitable for such a pace of competition because he is full of flesh. Fisher can only respond in a low voice with grievance. He has never encountered this situation before.
At 39:46, in the blink of an eye, the score difference returned to 7 points.

The furious O'Neal began to ask for the ball in the low post on the left again. His obvious offensive intention made it difficult for Fox to give the ball directly to the opponent's hands.

Artest continued to pressure his opponent, and as a last resort, Fox quickly gave the ball to Horry at the free throw line.

O'Neal turned around deftly, took advantage of Ben Wallace's retraction, suddenly stopped and blocked the opponent behind him. Horry hurriedly sent the pass, and simple high and low cooperation just allowed O'Neal to catch the ball under the basket.

In the right offensive position, Ben Wallace's defense was ineffective. Watching O'Neal catch the ball and twist, right in front of the basket, he succeeded in a throw with his right hand.

Although the attack time was a bit too much, after scoring the response ball, O'Neal also yelled and directed Kobe to signal his younger brother to guard Li You.

Another quick baseline pass, Li You still held the ball in his right hand and rushed all the way after receiving the ball.

Quickly dribbling behind his back during the run, and then making a sudden stop to create a little space, Li You switched to his left hand and quickly changed direction with his hips, slumped his shoulders and accelerated, easily crushing him through the half court.

At the top of the arc, Kurt Thomas immediately moved to the left block after covering the screen. Horry cooperated with Kobe to double-team Li You.

Near the free throw line, Li You suddenly stopped behind Kobe Bryant, took advantage of Horry's sliding step, and passed the ball in a hidden pocket.

The ground pass easily opened up the defense. Kurt Thomas caught the ball in the left block and made a slight adjustment before hitting the jump shot again!
A jump shot from the basket near the paint area, Kurt Thomas' sweet spot, scored another point, and the power forward was happy to celebrate with continuous punches.

At 41:48, the point difference was still 7 points, which made everyone in the Lakers a little impatient.

Fisher again handed over the ball without waiting for halftime to pass, leading Li You to the right corner.

At the top of the arc, Kobe, holding the ball in his right hand, dribbled the ball under his crotch and quickly changed direction. He retrieved the ball with his right hand and immediately lowered his shoulders to accelerate the breakthrough.

Alan Houston lost his defensive position, slid quickly, and caused physical confrontation. The two rushed into the paint. Kobe blocked the shot and hit the frame again with a right-hand throw.

O'Neal, who was still stuck, had no time to rush for the offensive rebound. Ben Wallace immediately shrank under the basket to protect the backcourt rebound.

When Li You stepped forward to respond, the Lakers had already begun to retreat. Fisher wanted to delay the advance, but was thrown away by Li You's sudden push of the ball in a different direction.

Watching Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, chasing his opponent's butt across the half court again, cheers suddenly broke out again.

The Knicks' counterattacks usually completely open up the offensive space. Alan Houston and Artest stopped on the left and right wings, and Ben Wallace rushed to the three-point line without stopping and continued to rush towards the paint area.

Kurt Thomas had already run to the left side near the baseline. He was chasing Fisher from his side and saw the movement behind him, but he could only follow his body instinct and continue to slide to the right and rear.

At the top of the arc, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, leaned forward and continued to pretend to accelerate, then suddenly crossed and pulled back quickly.

With a sudden emergency stop, Fisher was completely gone. Under the inertia, he tried to adjust his center of gravity again, but he settled near the free throw line. Watching Li You combine the ball, he quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

At 41:51, the score difference reached double digits for the first time in this game. Madison Square Garden was also boiling, and the shouting could not stop.

Phil Jackson frowned and asked for a timeout again.

After stopping his opponent, Li You raised his hands and smiled to indicate that the noise should be louder. The joyful atmosphere at the scene made Kobe Bryant's face darken.

"What an incredible athleticism! Lee controls the ball so well at high speed."

"I can't imagine any way to limit him other than double-team defense."

The speed that was faster than all the players on the field made Doug Collins praise him repeatedly. Marv Albert also sighed after looking at the technical statistics:
"Lee is so efficient that using Fisher to guard him is obviously not an ideal matchup."

On the bench of the Lakers, after Phil Jackson gave him chicken soup, he glanced at Tyronn Lue who looked dull and shook his head secretly. It was useless to replace him.

In the last few minutes of the half, the Lakers got Grant, and the Knicks' main lineup also returned.

O'Neal and Grant began to stand on the free throw line, the defense switched to attack, and Li You also got a free throw opportunity.

Fisher originally thought that Li You would be in better shape now that he no longer had to mark him, but Alan Houston didn't forget this about him, and he started playing in the low post from him in several rounds.
With 47 seconds left in the half, O'Neal's second free throw, which he had been waiting for for a long time, was made again.

Slapping his thigh in annoyance, O'Neal only then realized how important free throw scores are.

Ewing protected the rebound, and Li You responded and passed the ball to Grant Hill at the top of the arc after halftime.

Kobe followed Li You and ran to the left corner, always paying attention to what was happening on the court.

In a "V"-shaped attack, Li You and Alan Houston squatted in the corner, watching Grant Hill and Ewing on the right elbow initiate a pick-and-roll.

Lewis on the left elbow quickly moved to the top of the key, while Ewing stood at the free throw line, watching Grant Hill hold the ball in his right hand, and then went straight inside after the pick-and-roll.

O'Neal, who was squatting in the pit, saw Grant Hill quickly returning the ball, quickly moved his steps, and raised his hand to interfere with Ewing on the free throw line.

Gorilla received the ball, and Lewis immediately moved quickly to the left wing, provided an off-ball screen for Li You who was lifting up, and immediately ran to the left corner.

The Lakers' defense was tacit, Grant worked hard to defend the corner, and Kobe continued to chase Li You. At the same time, Grant Hill ran to the left corner, and Alan Houston moved to the right wing.

At the free throw line, Ewing just released the ball sideways, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and wanted to complete a hand-to-hand pass to Li You.

Noticing that Kobe was too close to him, Ewing hurriedly rejoined the ball. Li You, who reached the top of the arc, suddenly ran back, briefly shook off Kobe, and received Ewing's pass from the left wing.

O'Neal watched Ewing move to stand outside the three-point line, followed him out with a straight face.

Li You, who released the ball with his right hand after catching the ball, took advantage of Kobe's slight step back, swayed his body to the right, and suddenly changed direction quickly.

The moment he switched to his left hand, Li You lowered his center of gravity and accelerated the cut at 45 degrees on the left side.

Kobe, whose defensive prediction was wrong, had already lost his defensive position before he could slide.O'Neal reacted quickly, immediately gave up on Ewing, slid back to the right desperately, and loudly reminded Grant to shrink his defense.

When Grant, whose feet were heavy, tried to slide, Li You collided with O'Neal's body in the left block. The ball protector exerted a slight force, and when he slowed down slightly, he quietly pushed. With the help of the force, he instantly passed the defense. .

O'Neal, who was thrown away, wanted to continue pulling, but Li You took three big steps to rush forward.

After completely getting rid of the defense, he soared into the air near the paint area. After joining the ball, Li You changed hands in the air. He was right in front of the basket, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed hard!

"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
O'Neal failed to pull Li You, lost his center of gravity and rushed out of the baseline, falling into the audience with a plop.

"Oh!!"

Seeing the fans who were crushed by O'Neal, everyone exclaimed. Fortunately, the fat man held on to the seats, otherwise the audience in the front row would have to leave the stadium directly under the pressure of Tarzan.
At 46:58, Li You quickly greeted the frightened fans, confirmed that no one was injured, and the game continued.

Feeling that he had been greatly embarrassed, O'Neal, who did not rest for a minute in the half, made the final attack and began to continuously ask for the ball in the low post.

With Ewing struggling to defend, O'Neal caught the ball in the low post on the right side and hit the ball with a bang. After quickly turning towards the baseline, the throw with his right hand hit the basket.

Before the gorilla could collect the rebound, O'Neal reacted faster, rushed to the basket, grabbed the rebound, and after a feint, added the ball in at the buzzer.

Yelling at the camera under the basket, O'Neal vented his frustration.

When he turned around, he saw that everyone in the Knicks was already walking towards the tunnel talking and laughing. No one was looking at him at all. O'Neal was so angry that he cursed twice more.
At 48:58, the double-digit lead made Madison Square Garden boiling again.

After playing the first half, 15 of 11 and 10 of 5 free throws, O'Neal had scored 27 points, completely destroying the Knicks inside.

出场18分钟，10中9，三分线外3中2，罚球7中7，李佑同样拿到27分。

In the NBC commentary box, the two looked at the technical statistics and were speechless. The game seemed to have turned into a competition between role players.

科比10中3，拿到6分，阿兰-休斯顿11中5，砍下12分。

Doug Collins is also not good at commenting on the Lakers' tactics. The 10-point difference is not big. In the previous playoffs, the Lakers also successfully counterattacked:
"In the second half of the game, maybe head coach Phil Jackson should consider changing his defensive strategy."

"Short defenders have a hard time restricting Lee. More double-teams may be a better choice!"

Marv Albert thinks Lakers rotation is too short:
"In this year's playoffs, both teams have gotten a lot of rest time. If the series is extended, physical fitness is also a key factor."

The two analyzed it together and found that the Lakers did adjust their defense in the second half.

After the start of the third quarter, the cheers and cheers in the stadium got louder. Everyone was very satisfied with the home team’s performance in the first half:
"Let's go Knicks!."

In the first offensive round, Lewis and Ewing stood at the left and right elbows. After Li You came to the left wing, Lewis, who raised the screen, hung up for a moment and then bounced toward the top of the key.

Grant completely let go of his opponent Lewis and cooperated with Kobe to quickly double-team.

Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, did not hesitate. He swung the ball behind his back and immediately gave the ball to Lewis who bounced outside.

When the latter caught the ball, O'Neal had a chance to defend, but Lewis didn't make any adjustments at all and threw the ball away. The Shark once again watched the shot.
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

He made 4 of 2 three-pointers in the first half. Although he did not play much time in the second quarter, Lewis continued his shooting touch.

"Wow!"

He hit a three-pointer in the first round, and the cheers got louder. Phil Jackson was still frowning on the sidelines and making tactical gestures to indicate to the players to stick to this defensive strategy.

At 48:61, the score difference continued to widen.

Looking back at the Lakers' attack, Fisher still led Li You to the right corner, and Grant quickly came to the left wing to pick and roll.

Lewis didn't hesitate and immediately cooperated with Alan Houston to double-team Kobe.

Grant, who was left open, received Kobe's ground pass and hit a mid-range jumper from the left elbow area.

"Shh!"

Ignoring the false voice in his ears, Phil Jackson quickly clapped his hands to encourage him, and he achieved the desired tactics in the first round. This is definitely a good sign!
However, in the next few rounds, Grant's low-post attacks failed to hit consecutively. Apart from giving O'Neal a "backup", it had no effect.

The Knicks started the pick-and-roll step by step. Although they followed suit in several rounds, as Alan Houston made a three-pointer from Fisher at the top of the key, the point difference returned to 10 points.

Lewis' attempt to frustrate Lewis failed. O'Neal became impatient and began to frequently ask for the ball from behind in the low post.

In this attack, O'Neal was in a very deep position. The moment he caught the ball in the low post on the right, he immediately turned toward the baseline. After a jump step, he shouldered Ewing away and successfully dunked the ball with both hands. The referee immediately blew the whistle.

"what!"

After giving himself two hard blows, O'Neal yelled again, causing the New York fans to boo.

Although he was a little embarrassed, after sending his fourth foul, Ewing still grinned, clapped his hands to the audience, and consciously walked to the bench.

With 3 minutes and 6 seconds left in the third quarter, Jeff Van Gundy patted the gorilla with a smile and replaced him with Ben Wallace.

Lewis was beaten to the point of shooting, and was replaced by Kurt Thomas at this time. Grant Hill was in good condition and continued to stay on the court.

Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal gestured and hit the free throw again.
At 60:68, the point difference was narrowed, and the Lakers responded to each other and retreated quickly.

Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound, and Grant Hill responded very quickly. He noticed that the opponent had completed the defensive position, and started to slow down when he reached the top of the arc.

Li You, who had already reached the right corner, suddenly slipped across the baseline from right to left.

Kobe went to the line and tried to go forward to defend, but saw that Li You suddenly changed direction just after he reached the bottom of the basket and bounced diagonally outward.

Bypassing Kurt Thomas at the left elbow, the moment Li You received Hill's cross pass on the left wing, Kobe followed suit.

Grant hesitated for a moment and did not immediately step forward to cooperate with the double-team. Instead, he followed Kurt Thomas and sank to the left near the baseline.

O'Neal, who was still squatting on defense, saw Ben Wallace moving quickly, preparing for a pick-and-roll, and he cursed and went out again.
Ben Wallace had just come to Li You's right side and before he could stand still, Li You swayed to the right and suddenly released the ball with his left hand, crossing over to break through.

O'Neal, who was still moving, saw Li You suddenly push the ball in a different direction. He had no time to adjust his defensive focus and watched as Li You scooped the ball with his right hand and drove it straight to the basket.

Grant noticed Li You breaking through into the paint area and subconsciously moved to help defend.

It's just that the lateral movement speed was too slow. Grant had just reached the basket and before he could block the shot, he saw Li You jumping into the air!

Grant only felt a powerful attack in front of him, and his ears were filled with the shouts of the fans. Under the huge impact, he was knocked out of his center of gravity, and sat on the floor with a plop. He watched Li You grab the ball with his right hand and use his arms to slam the dunk. !
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
"Oh!"

The New York fans stood up and cheered. Kurt Thomas, who was nearby, didn't wait for Li You to show off, excitedly stepped forward and hugged him, and started yelling.
"Crazy dunk! Lee passed the Lakers' entire defense again!"

Marv Albert was excited to see it, but Doug Collins noticed that the quality of the Lakers' pick-and-roll defense began to decline again:

"It's time to change some defensive strategies and reduce O'Neal's consumption on the defensive end."

In the first half of the game, the shooting percentages of the two teams dropped a lot. Li You didn't care about his teammates and still maintained a very fast offensive rhythm.

Phil Jackson asked for a timeout, his expression became more and more serious, but he still failed to come up with a good defensive strategy.

After the timeout, it was time for O'Neal to blast the Knicks inside. He missed a strong attack under the basket, grabbed a rebound, and scored a tip-in.

As Ben Wallace came around, he twisted and hit the basket, and O'Neal caught the ball and dunked!

After receiving the ball in the left block, O'Neal released the ball with his right hand and hit it. He quickly turned towards the baseline, switched to his left hand and successfully threw the ball.

Continuous goals failed to narrow the point difference. Artest, who appeared on the field, bounced out of the pick-and-roll with three players. After receiving a pass from Li You, he hit a three-pointer from the top of the key.

In the high pick-and-roll, Kobe failed to squeeze through the screen in time. Li You seized the opportunity and made a semi-transition attack, and also scored a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

One side kept +2, and the other side +3 from time to time. In the second half of the third quarter, the two sides played lively, which made the New York fans excited.

27:24 in a single quarter, and after three quarters, it was 75:82, and the point difference was narrowed to less than 10 points.

狂暴的奥尼尔单节10中7，罚球7中4，怒砍18分，还贡献了4个前场篮板。

After such a performance, when he returned to the bench, O'Neal began to gasp for air. Although the Knicks were strong, they still had 22 possessions.
Too many turnarounds made O'Neal, who didn't have a break for one minute in three quarters, a little overwhelmed.

After the start of the fourth quarter, O'Neal had to sit on the bench to catch his breath.

Just seeing Grant coming on the court and putting the basket down so erratically, O'Neal crushed the bottle of "Oral Liquid" in frustration.

Li You's counterattack was very fast, accelerating along the left sideline. Kobe, who was chasing after him, didn't notice that Grant had been left behind by Ben Wallace.

Coming to the right wing, Li You slowed down and quickly dribbled the ball behind his back. The moment he switched to his left hand, Ben Wallace just came to stand next to him.

Only then did Kobe notice that his teammates had not retreated in place yet and were unable to squeeze through the screen in the first place.

Li You moved laterally to get rid of the defense, stopped near the top of the arc, and converted to a three-point jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

75:85, after a game, the score difference was back to 10 points.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack. Horry bounced to the top of the arc, received Kobe's pass, and made another three-pointer.
The long rebound just happened to be picked up by Li You. Fisher was already blinded and followed Li You to pursue the defense desperately.

Kobe, who was retreating, gritted his teeth and rushed straight at Li You. The two of them had just caught up and defended, but saw the basketball suddenly flying forward.

Li You hit the ground and passed the ball vigorously while walking. Alan Houston, who was unguarded, quickly caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

"Wow!"

Cheers resounded throughout the arena again. After Kobe Bryant was two points ahead of the top of the arc and hit the iron again, Phil Jackson on the sidelines subconsciously held his forehead.

The long rebound was picked up by Artest in the left block. Before Fox could react, the latter threw the ball forward.

Li You shook off Fisher, got the ball close to the three-point line, took two big steps, then took off with both feet in the paint area, leaped high, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and succeeded in a tomahawk dunk!

Less than 2 minutes later, Phil Jackson requested a timeout again, and O'Neal returned to the court.

His physical fitness dropped significantly, and his finishing efficiency at the basket dropped. Jeff Van Gundy saw the opportunity, replaced Longley, and began to send the Sharks free throws.

He just scored a goal in the last round of sports battle, and in the next round he stood on the free throw line and hit two irons.

Phil Jackson kept complaining to the referees about this bad tactic, but he couldn't stop the Lakers' offense from collapsing.

With 2 minutes and 06 seconds left in the game, O'Neal's low attack on the left side was suddenly defended by Li You, and he subconsciously threw the ball to Fisher on the left wing.

The intention of passing the ball was obvious, the speed of the ball was also slow, and the height was too high. Fisher moved back. The moment he caught the ball, the ball was stabbed away by Li You who was catching up.

Twisting his body, Fisher wanted to commit a tactical foul on the spot, but was knocked to the floor by Li You.

After rushing to the street, Fisher first slapped the floor angrily, and then watched Li You grab the ball. It was 1 on 0 in the frontcourt and he succeeded in a fast break dunk!
In the next round, after Fox was intercepted face-to-face by Artest, Madison Square Garden was completely boiling.

After completing the steal, Artest rushed across the half court, unguarded, and completed another one-arm dunk!
"what!"

He roared at the camera under the basket, and the excited Artest almost tore his jersey to pieces.
90:104, there was no more suspense in the game. In the last minute, O'Neal made another free throw and simply gave up the defense. Watching the Knicks counterattack again, Ben Wallace followed up and dunked with both hands!
As the final buzzer sounded, the score was fixed at 92:108, and the Knicks easily won G1.

Madison Square Garden was filled with jubilation, and the Lakers quickly exited the stadium with dark faces.

Li You raised his hands and applauded continuously to pay tribute to the New York fans who were present.

第3节末段短暂休息，出场42分钟，22中15，三分线外6中4，罚球10中10，44分4篮板7助攻1抢断1失误。

In the NBC commentary box, Marv Albert looked at the technical statistics and didn’t know how to comment. Li You had too many fast breaks.
Doug Collins didn't care about this and continued to praise Li You's performance loudly:

"Lee once again showed his outstanding athleticism and he made the Lakers defense pay!"

"Congratulations to the Knicks for winning G1!"
