NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 40 Interesting National Live Broadcast ([-])

On November 1996, 11, the NBA announced the first player of the week for the season.

The Rockets had 4 wins and 0 losses in last week's game, and the old Big Three were invincible!
哈基姆-奥拉朱旺成功当选第一周的周最佳球员，这位超级中锋场均出场36分钟，场均拿到32.8分8.3篮板2.3助攻1.8抢断1.8盖帽2.8失误；

Averaged 23.5 shots per game, shooting 47.9% from the field, averaging 13.3 free throws per game, and shooting 77.4% from the free throw line
After the best player of the week was announced, Li You also saw this very characteristic statistic of the times.

Unlike the future style of play dominated by outside players, it is still the era of the "four major centers".

After Barkley hugged his thigh, Olajuwon did not reduce his shots. This is the row of super centers!
On the evening of the 12th, Olajuwon accepted the award at home in Houston, and Patrick Ewing in New York was not in a good mood, and did not say a word in the locker room before the game.

Tonight's game has attracted much attention. The Knicks have a total of 25 nationally broadcast games this season, tied for first with the Chicago Bulls, and have the highest number of nationally broadcast games this season.

Patrick Ewing's depression is also related to tonight's opponent.

在此之前，76人队取得了2胜3负的战绩，上一场战胜太阳队的比赛中，艾弗森出场26分钟，10中3，拿到了6分2篮板8助攻3抢断9失误的数据。

Such a hip-pull performance, not only was not criticized, but also praised Iverson's comprehensiveness:
"Even if the shooting touch is not good, Iverson can still lead the team to victory!"

"."

The New York media followed suit, and Patrick Ewing felt uncomfortable. He felt that he was being treated with double standards.

The 76ers also hired a rookie head coach this season. If the results are not good, Johnny Davis will most likely have to be responsible for the poor performance.

For this battle of focus, for fans in New York, everyone wants to see Li You play.

Despite his limited playing time, Li You has always been featured on ESPN's Sports Center.

The top ten balls of the day have become the best promotional channel for Li You. It is not easy to be on TV these days. Even if the individual game data pulls the hips, the fans don't care. Instead, they expect Li You to continue to work hard.
As a result, Jeff Van Gundy fed the New York fans that night, and Charlie Ward continued to start.

Allan Houston sprained his ankle early in the game, and Starks was out immediately.

Such a substitution immediately blew up the New York fans at the scene, and booed everywhere for a while.

Ewing was very aggressive tonight, facing the inside combination of Derek Coleman and Scott Williams of the 76ers, he frequently asked for the ball in the low post.

Whether Starks or Charlie - Ward honestly sent the pass, and then watched Ewing hit the iron.

Fortunately, Charles Oakley's ferocious offensive rebounds delayed the 76ers' conversion attack, and never allowed the opponent to widen the point difference.

On the bench, Li You saw Larry Johnson shoot a jumper after receiving the ball from beyond the three-point line, and almost laughed out loud for a while.

"Big Mom" ​​was forced to become a real small forward. The style of the game changed suddenly, and he began to shoot more from the outside.

Alan Houston returned to the bench after re-tying his feet. After seeing "Big Mom" ​​hit a long two-pointer, he immediately sighed in a low voice:
"Larry felt good tonight. He should have played like this. Like Oakley, he should shoot more mid-range shots. There is no need to stick to the low attack all the time."

Larry Johnson seems to be affected by a back injury, and his current finishing efficiency at the basket is mediocre.

In the previous games, when Ewing supported in the low post, "Auntie" could only cut in without the ball and change his style of play, which was a last resort choice.

"Larry did make the right choice. If he can be decisive, the number of shots will not always be less than 10."

Hearing Li You teasing about the treatment of "Big Mom" ​​in the team, Alan Houston hurriedly grabbed the towel and covered his face with a low smile. Larry Johnson was the most aggrieved starter in the team.
The first quarter lasted 1 minutes and 10 seconds. With Ewing's jumper on the right near the bottom line, the 42ers finally played a transition attack.

Scott Williams protected the backcourt rebound and threw the ball to Iverson immediately.

The latter rushed forward after catching the ball, and everyone on the Knicks could only desperately return to the defense. Iverson was so fast that he took advantage of the defense's failure to complete the position and went straight to the basket.

In the paint area, after three big strides rushed up, ignoring Charlie Ward who jumped up from his side, Iverson tilted his body and shot with one hand with his right hand!

"Squeak! Swish"

The whistle blew and the ball went in. Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines noticed that Charlie Ward made two fouls. Taking advantage of Iverson's free throws, he also began to greet Li You to appear on the court.

With Iverson's free throw, the score came to 26:22, and the Knicks trailed by 4 points.

The two teams also began to rotate personnel. Iverson was replaced by Doug Overton, and Li You replaced Charlie Ward.

Starting from receiving the ball in the backcourt, facing Doug Overton's lead defense, Li You changed direction with his crotch a few times and turned around quickly to easily pass the half court.

Charles Oakley immediately came to the top of the arc to perform a pick-and-roll. According to the tactical requirements, Li You should move to the right flank and then give the ball to Ewing who wanted the ball in the low post.

Doug Overton also thought that Li You would pass the ball inside. After all, Ewing had already started to pout, and the defensive end also relaxed a little.

At the top of the arc, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, did not wait for Charles Oakley to stand still, and suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back twice in a row.

Li You's body first swayed to the right with the rhythm of dribbling, and the moment he caught the ball with his left hand, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and moved laterally to the left to accelerate.

The sudden shake caused Doug Overton to lose his defensive position in an instant.

Before Coleman had time to delay the defense, Li You, who got rid of the defense, immediately joined the ball and quickly shot a jumper from the top of the arc!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

Ewing, who was still pouting inside, turned his head and saw the basketball go into the frame, and when he heard the loud cheers, his face sank.

Li You didn't care about the gorilla's gaze. Instead, he raised his left arm and raised three fingers, signaling that the noise at the scene should be louder.

In the next round, the 76ers had a simple pick-and-roll attack, and Coleman, who was full of touch, easily hit two points from the right elbow.

When the 76ers were still slowly retreating, Li You continued to accelerate after receiving the baseline ball, chasing the opponent's butt for half the court.

At this point, both Charles Oakley and Ewing hadn't crossed the center line.

On the right flank outside the three-point line, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, slowed down slightly, then suddenly lowered his center of gravity, dribbled the ball under the crotch very quickly and changed direction in front of his body. With two "bang bangs", Doug Overton stood still and watched Li You go to the basket.

Approaching the paint area, Li You noticed that Scott Williams had returned to the basket, but Li You still did not slow down.

After rushing up in three strides, the two confronted in the air. Li You ignored the opponent's block, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, twisted his body and threw it casually!
"Squeak! Bang!"

The whistle blew and the ball went in, and after landing, Li You didn't even look at the old guys who had just passed halftime, and stared at the camera under the basket expressionlessly and beat his chest!

There was another loud cheer at Madison Square Garden. Jeff Van Gundy looked at the time on the sidelines, turned his head and sat back on the bench for the last time, and completely entered the state of trusteeship.
