NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 331 Core Gap (8000 words chapter)

On the night of May 2004, 5, after the game started at 6:20, the New York fans at Madison Square Garden began to boo the Nets' defense.

With 5 minutes and 09 seconds left in the first quarter, Jefferson's foul in the left block sent Li You to the free throw line.

Just after half the game, the Nets had already entered the penalty mode. Kidd frowned, and the game still did not meet his expectations.

Li You moved his shoulders. The tights he wore were also specially made by Under Armor and had some protective effect on the muscles.

Although his body has not been deliberately exercised in the past few years, it has become stronger as he grows older. This kind of confrontation has little impact on him.

"Fouling is a penalty. I suggest you focus more on offense. The point difference will soon reach double digits."

Walking to the free throw line, Li You teased "Coach Ji" behind him, always thinking about using defense to change the game. This is really unreliable.

"We don't care about the away win or loss!"

Kenyon Martin stood by the paint and responded with his head held high. Li You smiled. He found that his opponents were more and more interested in talking about things other than victory and defeat.

As Li You made both free throws, defensive cheers appeared again in the arena:

"Defense!."

At 8:14, the Nets started well, and Kenyon Martin didn't hit mid-range jumpers like he did in G1.

At this time, there were only two big men, Collins and Gasol, under the basket. When Kidders broke through to a position close to the paint area, he leaned against the defense and suddenly turned around.

"The point difference will soon reach double digits, it's your turn to take action!"

Li You, who accelerated his breakthrough, immediately increased his stride the moment he collided with Kidd's body.

Kidd glanced at the scoreboard and remained silent. Every mistake was fatal to the Nets.

After passing the midline, Li You controlled the basketball with his left hand, relied on defense to accelerate, and drove straight to the basket from the center.

"Wow!"

Dribbling across the half court again, Kidd immediately handed over the ball. Kenyon Martin caught the ball sideways at the right elbow and tried to pass the ball to Jefferson.

The ball went in after the buzzer sounded, and the basketball hit the board high and accurately fell into the basket.

Jefferson hurriedly tried to catch the ball from the right wing, but Artest kept chasing him and refused to give his opponent a chance to easily catch the ball.

At the end of April, Rivers relied on his excellent tactical qualities to successfully get the position of Celtics head coach.

Li You, who was holding the ball with his left hand at the top of the arc, began to slow down. Kidd, who had always maintained a defensive distance, also stopped at this time.

Li You, who was holding the ball with his right hand, got in front of Kenyon Martin and quickly threw the ball high. Kidd on his side could only subconsciously reach out to interfere, but it didn't have much effect.

Kidd caught the ball from the bottom line, and Li You immediately stepped forward to interfere.

Kenyon Martin, who was trying hard to jump to block the shot, could only watch the basketball pass over his fingertips, and cheers could be heard in his ears after landing.

"I hope Kidd can take over the ball at this time and he needs to carry the team's offense."

Dragging the ball made Kidd subconsciously move forward. Li You changed direction with his hips again, while speeding up his dribbling rhythm. His body swayed to the left and then suddenly changed direction in front of him.

"."

At 8:17, after Li You made an extra free throw, the point difference was close to double digits.

On the right wing, Jefferson still couldn't get rid of Artest while running back. Kenyon Martin, who was sideways, suddenly turned quickly and led the ball forward with his right hand.

"It's really a terrible transition attack ability. Lee's combination ball is so good. Once the defensive players lose their position, they will most likely only give up points."

Kidd, who lost his defensive position and retreated, loudly reminded his teammates under the basket. However, Li You joined the ball early in the process. He took two big steps against the defense in the paint area and then took off with his right foot.

After making two free throws, Kenyon Martin pumped his fists repeatedly when retreating from defense, and Kidd began to loudly greet his teammates to complete the defensive matchup.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Rivers in the commentary box also commented after hearing his partner’s sigh:

Taking control of the ball, Hill threw the ball forward. Li You and Kidd started at the same time, and the pull barely delayed the conversion speed.

When Kidd sent the pass, Hill also completed the pursuit. Kidders, who caught the ball, raised the ball and feinted, failing to deceive the defensive center of gravity. He immediately released the ball with his right hand and broke through smoothly.

After dribbling at the hip, Li You paused slightly when he switched to his right hand, lowering his center of gravity and pretending to break through.

Cheers resounded throughout the arena, and the fans under the basket punched Kidd repeatedly. Everyone could clearly see those little moves.

At the top of the arc, Kidd saw that his teammates had no chance and immediately turned around. After switching to his right hand, Kidders quickly slipped across the baseline from left to right and accelerated to the three-point line.

Once in the air, Li You grabbed the ball with his left hand, tilted his body and quickly picked the basket. Kidd tried hard to control his body weight and blocked the shot, but in the end it hit his arm.

"squeak!"

In the TNT commentary box, Kevin Harlan saw Li You standing on the free throw line again and couldn't help but sigh:

The referee blew the whistle again, and Kenyon Martin staggered and turned around to glare. The fans at the scene cheered loudly. Kurt Thomas raised his hand to signal, and then stood next to the paint area and waited for his opponent to take a free throw.

"The Nets must avoid mistakes. The competition between top guards is all about details!"

Gasol moved under the basket to help defend. Kidders wanted to pass the ball to Collins on the lower left side of the basket. However, the moment the basketball was released, Hill cut it off.

Li You rushed faster and faster. Kidd, who was guarding his side, could only hide and pull, but he was still crushed and rushed to the paint area.

The Nets also relied on transition offense, but the Knicks didn't shoot many three-pointers in the opening game and instead attacked the rim more.

He strode straight to the basket. Kenyon Martin accelerated and rushed into the paint with the ball in his arms.

Kurt Thomas lost his defensive position and was not polite at this time. The opponent jumped into the air and immediately fouled the player, disrupting the offense.

Holding the ball with his left hand, Li You strode towards the basket, and at the same time took the initiative to knock away the defense. Kidd was knocked back slightly, and then he could only try his best to jump up and block the shot, but he was still a step too slow.

Kidd first slid to the right, then quickly adjusted his defensive focus and quickly moved to the left and back in an attempt to delay the defense.

"Bang!"

Protecting the ball sideways, Kidd quickly turned around, switched to his left hand to hold the ball, accelerated in a straight line, and rushed through the center line against the defense.

After landing, Li You smiled and stroked his chest gently. Seeing that Kidd was still explaining to the referee, he couldn't help but joked:

"Oh!"

The basketball hit the board high and then fell into the basket again.

Seeing Li You calling his teammates to retreat, Kidd felt awkward. Under high confrontation, he picked up the basket with the same hand and foot.

At 10:19, head coach Frank couldn't help shouting to the players, asking everyone to be patient.

"Defense!."

Amid the defensive cheers, the Nets' quick ball movement on offense had no effect.

Jefferson once again came to the left elbow to catch the ball, and while Kenyon Martin stepped forward to cover, he swayed right and left.

Putting the ball with his left hand, Jefferson accelerated the breakthrough, realized that Artest had not escaped, and simply relied on the defense. He rushed up in three strides and then faked a real pass, and suddenly passed the ball backwards.

The passing force was too strong, and Kenyon Martin, who was following up, suddenly got his hands dirty and the basketball flew out of his head. Kurt Thomas took the opportunity to squeeze to his side and poke the ball forward.

At the top of the arc, Li You controlled the ball and rushed forward. Kidd could only grit his teeth and pursue the defense again.

Cheers instantly echoed throughout the arena. Li You rushed forward to protect the ball while glancing at what was going on behind him.

Noticing Kidders's fast speed, he sped up to pursue the defense. Li You rushed to the paint area against the defense and passed the ball with his left hand under his crotch.

Kidders, who had already been chasing Li You, could only watch Grant Hill, who was following behind, catch the ball in the paint, jump off his feet, grab the ball with his right hand, and succeed with a one-arm split!

Seeing Hill pumping his fist in celebration, Kevin Harlan could only sigh:

"Too fast! This is the transition offense the Knicks are best at."

"The Nets should not make mistakes. The point difference is now 11 points again."

After Kidd passed the half court, he immediately engaged Kenyon Martin in a pick-and-roll on the right elbow.

After accelerating the breakthrough, Kidd threw the ball backwards, and Kenyon Martin moved to a position one step away from the three-point line.

He caught the ball close to the right wing and without interference, Kenyon Martin made a long two-point jumper.

On 6-for-4, Kenyon Martin has scored 8 points, accounting for half of the team's points.

In the final stage of the first quarter, both sides began to hit the iron and shoot free throws.

Gasol attacked in the low post from the left, and Collins was hit with a time difference. In desperation, he was charged with another foul and sent a free throw.

Looking back, Jefferson drove to the basket, causing Artest to pay a foul.

There was back and forth between the two sides, but the game was not smooth, and free throws were naturally not as good as goals in sports battles.

After the opening, Kidd only took one shot. This time he caught the ball from the baseline and dribbled across half the court to the left wing. He noticed that Li You was still shrinking inside the three-point line and immediately called for his teammates to cover.

Before Kenyon Martin could reach the three-point line, Kidd suddenly joined the ball and pulled it out with a cold arrow!

"state!"

Although Li You's defense was deceived, the basketball missed the frame.

There was not much time left in the first quarter. Grant Hill picked up a long rebound and accelerated.

Kidders didn't foul again. Although he retreated quickly, Hill relied on the defense to hit the board and lay up.

At 16:28, as Kidd missed a long three-pointer, everyone on the Nets walked to the bench with a sad face.

Most fans were dissatisfied with the content of the game. There were too many fouls and the pace was not fast. After a break between sections, many fans began to take offense again.

The noisy scene showed that the fans were irritated. In the commentary box, Kevin Harlan liked this scene and asked his partner with a smile:

“Will the Nets’ foul play have an impact on the Knicks?”

Rivers glanced at the technical statistics and commented seriously:

"For a superstar like Li who has no technical shortcomings, free throws are just a way to give away points."

"He still scored in the 180 club this season. The Nets' defense is very good, but the offense cannot respond in time."

"Kidd has to take on more offensive responsibilities. He can't expect his teammates to hit those responsive shots."

Also playing the first quarter, Kidd made 3 of 0 goals, scored zero points, and sent out 4 assists.

李佑6中4，三分线外1中0，罚球5中5，砍下13分1篮板3助攻1抢断。

On the one hand, he relied on his teammates to score points, and on the other hand, he organized the offense and scored nearly half of the points himself.

Rivers' voiceover was that Kidd should score more points and the two sides still have to fight.

On the Nets bench, head coach Frank only felt that the game was familiar. He thought the role players performed well, but Kidder crossed, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Slow the game down! Stay patient and don't be affected by the point difference. The game has just begun."

Sitting in front of the players, Frank loudly reminded everyone that they must rely on defense to win the game. At this time, they could only continue to give out chicken soup.

Kidd naturally knows his problem. If he also scores 6 points, maybe the point difference will be within 10 points.

Thinking of this, Kidd threw the towel on the seat and stood up directly. He wanted to travel at the wrong time to take advantage of the dwarf opposite!

After the second quarter started, D'Antoni, who was hanging up, saw the Nets lineup and frowned slightly.

The backcourt is Kidd and Lucious Harris, and the frontcourt is Rodney Rogers, Kenyon Martin, and Aaron Williams.

The Nets really planned to go all out. In the first attack, Kidd rushed to the basket after picking up the right elbow area, causing Mutombo to foul.

The Knicks rotated extensively in the second quarter, with Knight and Raja Bell partnering in the backcourt, and the three in the frontcourt were Prince, Stoudemire, and Mutombo.

In the No. 1 position, Knight did suffer a bit when facing Kidd. The game lasted more than two minutes, and D'Antoni simply requested a timeout.

At 22:30, the point difference was narrowed. Seeing everyone on the Nets high-fiving, the New York fans at the scene booed loudly.

Li You stood up and patted the depressed Nate. He also had to appear early.

"Amare, pay attention to the timing of the pass. The opponent will double-team Li. All you have to do is catch the ball and put it into the basket!"

"Be patient. The opponent will not make mistakes all the time. When opportunities arise, they will take action as soon as possible. We have a height advantage. I want to see more offensive rebounds!"

D'Antoni pointed to the tactical board and loudly reminded the rotation lineup. In his opinion, as long as Li You is here and the potential of this lineup is stimulated, it can still beat the opponent.

After the first round was suspended, the New York fans at the scene regained their energy and shouted loudly again:

"Let's go Knicks!."

Li You, who received the ball from the baseline, quickly moved across the half court and when he came to the left wing, Laga Bell from the left corner slipped across the baseline. Stoudemire quickly moved and raised the screen.

Kidd saw the movement behind him, and while staring at Li You holding the ball in his right hand, he loudly reminded his teammates.

Without waiting for his teammates to stand still, Li You quickly dribbled the ball with his hips. The moment he switched to his left hand, he immediately lowered his shoulders and accelerated.

Without any unnecessary shaking, Li You leaned on Kidd and accelerated his dash, grabbing half of his body in an instant.

Kenyon Martin sensed something was wrong and hurriedly cooperated with his boss to help defend.

Surrounded by the two, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, broke through to the basket and started circling.

Mutombo stood still at the right elbow, and Stoudemire had already accelerated down the line.

Aaron Williams reminded loudly, but it was too late. Li You, who came to the lower right side of the basket, flicked his wrist, and Stoudemire immediately exploded after receiving the ball in the paint.

Unguarded, Stoudemire grabbed the ball with his right hand and used all his strength to dunk in a tomahawk style!

"boom!"

The basket exploded, and the beautiful dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Kenyon Martin looked at the roaring Stoudemire and couldn't help but cursed secretly. At 22:32, the score difference returned to double digits.

Kidd scored 4 points in a row in the second quarter and seemed to have found his shooting touch again.

When the Nets attacked this time, they again completed a pick-and-roll with Kenyon Martin in the right elbow area. Kidd, holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated toward the baseline.

Instead of passing the ball, he approached the right side near the baseline. Kidd made an emergency stop and quickly retreated. Facing Li You's defense, he made a cool fadeaway jumper.

"state!"

The rebound was grabbed by Mutombo. Li You immediately stepped forward to respond and accelerated after receiving the ball.

Kidd's offensive rhythm was so fast that everyone in the Nets couldn't help but turn back and run.

Fortunately, the defensive enthusiasm was still there. When Li You came to the right wing, the opponent completed the defensive matchup again.

Still the same tactic, Laga Bell and Prince ran to the left and right corners early.

This time Mutombo stopped near the baseline on the left, and Stoudemire once again raised the screen.

At the three-point line on the right wing, as Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, moved laterally, Stoudemire immediately accelerated down the line.

Kenyon Martin immediately stepped forward to delay, and Kidd followed to cut off the passing route.

Facing the big man who was changing defense, Li You made an emergency stop and suddenly jumped and dribbled.

Noticing that the opponent's right foot was in front, he raised his right arm and confidently gave up space. Li You suddenly lowered his center of gravity and pretended to speed up the breakthrough.

He was about to slide backwards, but Kenyon Martin suddenly felt a cold feeling in his crotch. Li You flicked his wrist and the basketball went directly through the opponent's crotch.

"Wow!"

The fancy passing action immediately made the fans cheer. Li You quickened his pace and did not give his opponent time to react.

After grabbing the ball with his left hand at the free throw line, he immediately joined the ball. Li You ignored the defense from the side and made a quick jump shot!

"Whoa!" A steady hit from mid-range.

Kenyon Martin's face turned red and he glared at Li You, but the feedback he received was a teasing and sarcastic smile:

"Shet!"

An emotional Kenyon Martin was hugged by Jason Kidd and had his crotch pierced, which meant he was humiliated.

At 22:34, coach Frank on the sidelines also loudly reminded the players to stay calm.

"Defense!."

The New York fans at the scene were excited again, and the eagerness of their opponents was exactly what they expected.

Kidd did not force the attack. He came to the left wing and immediately gave the ball to Rogers who was asking for the ball from behind in the left block.

The latter caught the ball and turned around, facing the frame to attack. Prince kept a defensive distance. When he saw the opponent releasing the ball with his right hand, he accelerated his breakthrough and immediately slid to the left and back.

Against the defense, Rogers broke through to the paint area directly in front of the basket with great force, and hit the block with his right hand.

Kenyon Martin and Stoudemire hugged each other under the basket, and Mutombo collected the rebound.

Amidst the cheers, Li You, who received the ball, accelerated his progress. When he reached the top of the arc after half-court, Stoudemire, who had crossed half-court early, immediately stood still.

In a high pick-and-roll, Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, circled the ball behind his back, facing Kenyon Martin who came up to help defend, and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Stoudemire quickly moved down the court at this time, and Kidd did not change defense again, but pursued Li You relentlessly.

The left wing was close to the three-point line. Li You suddenly stopped suddenly, pulled the ball backwards with his left hand, and twisted his head and shoulders backwards to make a confusing fake move.

Kenyon Martin and Kidd both stopped subconsciously. Taking advantage of their opponents' failure to complete the double-team, Li You immediately twisted forward and then pushed the ball with his left hand to change direction.

When the two reacted, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, had already squeezed past Kenyon Martin and was on the free throw line in an instant.

Kidd wanted to continue to pursue the defense, but Li You went straight to the basket. In the paint area directly in front of the basket, he jumped high with both feet.

Stoudemire blocked Williams under the basket, so the opponent could only watch Li You grab the ball with his left hand and throw his arm for a dunk!

"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!

"Wow!"

From the breakthrough to the dunk, there were constant exclamations in the arena. At the last moment, many fans stood up excitedly and shouted in excitement.

"God! It's unbelievable that Lee broke through the Nets' double team so easily!"

"He's too fast! Kidd can't restrain Lee at all!"

Kevin Harlan also praised loudly, while Rivers showed envious eyes. Looking at D'Antoni who was celebrating with his hands raised on the sidelines, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind:

"Championship teams need to let their players perform on their own!"

At the three-point line, Kidd and Kenyon Martin looked at each other and said nothing. They didn't know what to say.

The basketball seemed to be a part of Li You's body, and the sudden shaking deceived them all.

Li You first high-fived his teammates to celebrate. Sensing that his opponent was in a low mood, he couldn't help but take the initiative to comfort him:

"Don't worry, man! You still have time!"

"."

Buddha also has fire. After hearing these words, Kid couldn't help but glared at Li You.

Fortunately, in this round, Harris was up for his game. He bounced the ball out from the right wing. After a feint, he released the ball with his right hand and made a two-point pull-up jump shot!

Laga Bell raised his hand to indicate that it was his problem. The opponent was very aggressive in covering and failed to pursue the defense in time.

It's still the same tactic. Amid the cheers of the New York fans, Stoudemire quickly slides down the left wing with a fake screen.

Seeing his teammates helping to defend early, Kidd also switched defenses in time to cut off the passing route.

Facing the huge delay of Kenyon Martin, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, simply and roughly accelerated with his shoulders down.

Continuously sliding to the right and back, Kenyon Martin stood up and resisted, trying to knock Li You to the ground.

Leaning on the defense and breaking through to the left blocking area, Li You took advantage of the trend and crossed back to pull back. After an emergency stop, he held the ball in his right hand without stopping, but continued to move laterally.

Although Kenyon Martin adjusted his center of gravity in time and slid again to try to get close to the defense, when he saw Li You's right wrist flicking, he subconsciously thought it was a ground pass and couldn't help but stop immediately.

The basketball bounced to the floor and then bounced back to Li You's hands.

"Oh!"

The fans at the scene cheered again. With the help of the rebound of the basketball, Li You combined the ball at the left elbow and shot a cool fadeaway jumper!

Kenyon Martin, who struggled to defend again, failed to control his center of gravity and Li You fell to the ground.

"squeak!"

The ball went in after the buzzer sounded, and he hit the ball steadily from mid-range. Li You took advantage of the situation and slid on the floor for a distance, and finally lay down and punched in celebration.

Kenyon Martin, who was pulled up by his teammates, completely lost his temper. He was somewhat doubtful about life, with a question mark on his face, as if he was thinking about how Li You made those moves.

"Incredible! Lee once again showed off his superb ball-handling skills!"

"In tonight's game, several of Lee's singles were among the top five."

In the "barbaric basketball" with frequent fouls, Li You can still play gorgeous offense, and Kevin Harlan can hardly play anymore.

When Li You stood on the free throw line, the delighted New York fans shouted happily:

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Rivers seemed to be infected by the atmosphere. Thinking of Li You's several beautiful passes tonight, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Behind the wonderful goals is boring basic training."

"I don't know why someone would slander Lee's attitude towards basketball. No one in the league can play like him. There is no doubt that Lee has worked hard for basketball!"

At 24:39, Li You made an additional free throw, and the point difference widened again.

Taking advantage of the free throw opportunity, head coach Frank put on the main lineup and reminded Kidd to speed up the pace of the game appropriately.

With a double-digit point difference, Kidd no longer controlled the rhythm like in G1. Relying on more off-ball screens, Jefferson continuously helped the Nets score points.

Prince didn't complain to the referee. He turned around and took advantage of his opponent to double-team Li You in advance. The right wing was left open and he responded with an open three-pointer after receiving the ball.

After the big man failed to help defend, the Nets changed their defensive strategy and relied more on outside double teams to allow Li You to release the ball early.

Both sides went back and forth, and the game finally turned into what New York fans expected.

The Nets attacked and after passing the ball continuously, Kidd was left open on the left wing and hit a three-pointer;

On the defensive end, Kidders helped defend Li You who broke through to the left block, and Laga Bell, who was left open, also hit an open three-pointer in the left corner.

Kidd drove to the basket, his horseback shooting was interfered by Li You, and Kenyon Martin made a tip-in from the basket;

Looking back, Stoudemire missed a strong attack under the basket, but Mutombo stabbed the ball in.

The two sides scored consecutively, but the Nets bench gradually became silent. The point difference did not narrow, but instead widened a bit.

At the end of the second quarter, as the Knicks' main lineup returned, the scoring momentum continued unabated.

On the contrary, the Nets started to strike after the free throws.

The big man Collins missed the second free throw, Gasol collected the rebound, Grant Hill stepped forward to respond, and everyone quickly rushed through the half court.

Li You came to the right corner early and saw Hill stationed on the left wing. He first swayed up the line, and then immediately accelerated along the baseline.

Under the basket, Li You used Gasol's screen to briefly get rid of Kidd and accelerate out of the middle.

Kurt Thomas at the free throw line made an off-ball screen, allowing Li You to get rid of the defense on the side.

At the top of the arc, Li You twisted to catch the ball, without even looking at the basket, and shot a quick jump shot!

Kidd, who was chasing him in front of him, could only stop, and then the cheers of the fans could be heard in his ears.

At 37:54, after half a quarter of the game, the score difference became wider and wider.

As Jefferson's jump shot from the right wing was blocked by Artest at the end of the half, everyone on the Knicks bench screamed and began to celebrate the victory in advance.

The Madison Square Garden arena was filled with jubilation. Kidd was expressionless as he walked towards the tunnel. Coach Frank could only pat his thigh to express comfort.

打满上半场，基德8中2，三分线外4中1，罚球4中3，砍下8分4篮板7助攻1抢断1失误的数据。

李佑13中9，三分线外3中1，罚球8中8，拿到27分3篮板7助攻1抢断。

The gap between the two was visible to the naked eye. In the commentary box, Rivers was no longer polite at this time, but directly announced that the Knicks had won:

"If Kidd continues to perform like this, the Nets will definitely lose."

"When there are problems in the team's offense, the core players must take responsibility."

After multiple rounds of double-teaming, Li You still defeated his opponent. Kevin Harlan also realized the gap between the core players of the two teams, and he could only say good things to him when his partner was outputting:

"The Nets' free throws were inaccurate, 10 of 5. The difference lies in the details. I believe they still have a chance."

After the start of the third quarter, as Jefferson took over the offensive ball, Artest showed his DPOY style again.

Not only did he force his opponent to hit him repeatedly, he even stole his opponent twice face to face!

Seeing Artest rushing faster and faster after stealing the ball from the right wing, and succeeding in a one-arm dunk from the frontcourt, coach Frank couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"what!"

Within a few minutes, Artest became the most handsome boy on the court. After completing the dunk, Artest pulled his jersey and kept shouting.

It seemed that the mentality was broken. Kidd and Kenyon Martin also made mistakes. For a while, Li You and Grant Hill also performed counterattack dunks, and the cheers could not stop.

After a wave of 12:2, the point difference was 30 points. As the game time passed, the Nets' piecemeal offense was still unable to narrow the point difference.

With 3 minutes and 2 seconds left in the third quarter, head coach Frank took the initiative to request a timeout. He wanted to prepare in advance for the game the day after tomorrow.

Li You, who was replaced, was a little regretful. By the third quarter of the game, he had just found some outside shooting skills. His three-point shooting tonight was average.

17中11，三分线外5中2，罚球8中8，32分4篮板10助攻2抢断1失误，虽然交出两双数据，李佑却只能给自己的表现打9分.

"I knew the Nets were no match for us, their offense was too bad."

After Ewing handed Li You a towel, he started to complain again. Gorilla had prepared a lot before the game in the past few days, giving Gasol blood every day. As a result, winning the game was easier than he imagined.

"They defended well, at least much better than the Celtics. It is definitely a good thing to activate their physical condition in advance."

Li You casually wiped the sweat from his head. Regardless of the outcome, the Nets were very confrontational and Kidd's defense was still very good.

It was rare to see Li You sweating. The coaching staff found some sense of accomplishment. The game plan was still useful.

At the end of the three quarters, the score reached 55:82, and the last quarter entered garbage time.

On the bench, Kidd silently watched the atmosphere team score points. Both sides had almost no defense. The point difference was too big to produce a miracle.

Kenyon Martin controlled the foul very well tonight. The joyful atmosphere at the scene made him very uncomfortable. Looking at Kidd who was silent, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice:

"We played too softly! We should give them a good look!"

"When I return to my home court, I will never allow me to lose like this again!"

"Martin, the G3 game is Saturday!"

Kidd just replied, and Kenyon Martin suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth. He realized that the New York fans were about to come out en masse again.

Three years! Thinking that every time he played against the Knicks, the home game would become an away game, Kidd couldn't help but throw the towel angrily.

Everyone in the atmosphere group did not dare to say a word. Jefferson also thought about the home situation the day after tomorrow, and couldn't help but curse in his heart:

"Damn New York!"
